chapter three

Stiles's POV

I walked past Scott in the locker room and saw he was in shock. "Allison keeping you?" I asked. "Yhea." he said leaning against the lockers. "Yhea alright so everything's good." I smiled and walked away. "No." he said slightly horrified. "No?" I asked coming back to him. "Remember the hunters her dad's one." he closed his eyes and slammed his head against the lockers as he talked about it. "Did he recognized you?" I asked him. "No. Oh god what if she knows?" he asked. I hadn't thought about that. I grabbed his gear and told him to focus on La Crosse just La Crosse.

we got on the field and coach asked me if I could play. "I'm fine." I told him. "That's what I like to her Stilinski." he slapped my shoulder and blew his whistle. and I got in line with the other players after our warm up. I felt my mark warm up as Scott was told to do it again. ignoring the pain I ran over to him after he plowed into Jackson. "Scott you okay?" I asked. "I can't control it stiles it's happening!" he warned me. "Here? Now?" I looked around and dragged him to the locker rooms.

Once we were in there he growled at me wolfed out telling me to leave. I fell back and tried to run away. he was everywhere. pain. Derek said pain was an anchor. I looked around and saw a fire extinguisher. that would be a cold pain. I grabbed it and shot some at him.

"Stiles? What happened?" Scott asked me human again. I threw the extinguisher on the ground and told him that he tried to kill me. "It's like I told you before. It's the anger your pulse rising." "But that's La Crosse." I told him he couldn't play Saturday. "But I'm first line." I shot him a look. "You could kill someone. no you're not playing."

I drove home and I saw Derek waiting on my front steps. "I felt something was wrong. did Scott do something to you?" he asked when he noticed my limp blue wolf eyes blazing."Scott got angry on the field. I pulled him into the locker room and back from his wolf. it's nothing I'll be fine in the morning Jackson got the worst of it. I simply fell over my own two feet." I told him I saw Allison's jacket. "I got it back today from the woods. I figured tomorrow you could give it back to her. Are you sure you're okay?" he asked following me inside. I set the jacket on the back of the couch. "Yes I'm fine." I promised.

"Will you not threaten him about this next time you see him?" I asked. "I promise." he continued to follow me to my bedroom. He looked out the window and I sighed. "Be careful looking for the alpha." he looked back at me. "I'll be back before you go to bed. Tomorrow I'm going to see Peter. Do you want to come? I know you two were close before the fire." Derek told me. "Yhea. I'll go. Laura used to send me letters about you guys to read to him. Pictures too." I kissed him and told him he should go if he was going to keep his promise.

I got on my laptop and started my video chat with Scott. I told him about Jackson's bad shoulder. "It's because he's a dick." I shrugged then leaned in closer. the alpha. it better be the alpha. because if Derek was looming behind Scott I will make him sleep on the couch. He said he was looking for the alpha not going to scare Scott into submission. I warned Scott that some was behind him. he zoomed in and my computer froze up. Damnit. Then I saw Derek up close and personal with my best friend. I shut my computer and grabbed my phone. If he lies I will kick his ass.

"Is something wrong?" Derek asked appearing behind me as I went to call him for a third time. "You broke your promise!" I accused. he looked at my laptop. "I promised that I wouldn't go to him about you. I merely threatened him not to play on Saturday and told him I saw what happened on the field and told him what the consequences of his actions were." I glared and threw a pillow and blanket on the floor. "Couch." I growled. "Stiles!" he said flabbergasted as I pushed him out of my bedroom. "Stiles!" this time he growled. I opened the door and stuck my head out. "You don't scare me." I stuck my tongue out at him and slammed the door in his face again. sighing I went back to bed.

The next morning I saw my dad eating his oatmeal watching Derek as he slept. I froze when he whimpered and grabbed for me in his sleep. I quickly moved out of the way and grabbed my breakfast dad leaned in close. "Did he do anything I need to hurt him for?" he asked. I shook my head. "He broke a promise. I not as mad anymore. He was just keeping me safe. I needed time to cool down." I shrugged. dad snorted as we went back to watching Derek sleep. He mumbled incoherently and moved a lot in his sleep. It was always funny to watch. but then he always said the same about me.

I ran into Lydia, well I saw her getting out of Jackson's car. "Lydia." I said running up to her Allison's jacket in my hands. she gave me a look wondering who I was. but I saw the recognition under the surface. we were best friends in grade school when she had glasses and braces. She was the only person I had told I was gay growing up other than my parents. "What do you want Stilinski?" Jackson asked irritated. "I Gave Allison a ride home after your party and she left my jacket in the car I just got the jacket back from…" she understood. "Oh I can give it to her for you." she smiled taking it then leaving. "Bye Lyds."

Lydia and Scott used to be close but then Lydia became popular and left the two of us behind. It was gradual but it still hurt. now she acts dumb and loves her power and douche bag boyfriend.

I saw my dad talking to some of the staff and ran over to Scott and dragged to the bottom of the stairs. "What are they saying?" I asked. he concentrated. I asked if he could hear them. he's still new to his powers. he shushed me. "Curfew because of the body." he told me. "Unbelievable. my dad is looking for a rabid animal while the jerk off is laying around doing whatever he wants." I took a step back. "Well you can't exactly tell your dad the truth about Derek." Scott said. I froze. "Your still on that? it wasn't Derek. he has an alibi he didn't even get into town until two whole hours after the girl died. TOD was ten o'clock. Derek just got to Beacon Hills at Midnight. GPS on his phone confirmed where he was at ten. he was making a phone call two hours away in some dinky restaurant." I told Scott. "That doesn't mean he didn't do it." Scott said. I shook my head and left him saying that he needed a real suspect one without an alibi. "We could find the other half of the body. I froze." "That would work." I told him. and continued to my next class.

on my way out of the school I was yanked into an empty class room. It was Lydia. "Hey!" I yelled pulling back. "I saw you were with someone at the party. was that him? Was it Derek?" she asked eager. "Or did you break up. oh I feel awful!" she gasped. hugging me. "No it was Derek." she squealed. "I'm surprised you two have been together so long- didn't he move?" she asked. I laughed. "Yhea but he's back. He's going to restore his old house. Wait why do you care?" I asked her crossing my arms. "I saw what I did to you today. I want to make it better. if I can." she told me. "It's a start." I smiled at her. she smiled and hugged me. "I have to go. I'll see you later." she left waving.

I pulled up to Derek's and saw him pacing. "What's Wrong?" I asked him getting out of my jeep. "He found Laura." he growled. "How do you know for sure?" I asked him. he gave me a look as my phone buzzed. "It's Scott. he found something." I made a face. "He means Laura." Derek growled. "Damnit. Is there enough time between now and midnight to move her?" I asked. "No. I have dinner with your dad. and so do you." he growled. "You have an alibi maybe my dad could use the body to help us find out what did this who and maybe led us to what she was investigating. And identify it as Laura then we could get some leads…" Derek kissed me. "Your right. Go to Scott help him 'find' her." Derek smiled a little. "I'll get ready for your dad's."

I ran into Scott's room. "Where did you find it? How did you find it? What did you find?" I asked quickly he smirked. "And yes I've had a lot of aderall." "Found something at Derek hales." he told me. unsure I asked him what. "There was something buried there. I could smell blood." "That's awesome! well that's terrible. Who's blood?" I asked "I don't know. but when we do your dad nails Derek for the murder and you help me find a way to play the game tomorrow because there's no way I'm not playing."

I followed him into the hospital telling him to smell the half of the girl that was found to see if it was the same. I looked for the morgue sign and when I spotted it I pointed it out to him and wished him good luck. I looked for somewhere to sit when I saw Lydia. "Hey Lydia." I smiled and waved at her. she smiled and I sat next to her she pointed to her ear and I saw the Bluetooth I nodded giving her a thumbs up and moved to sit somewhere else. I sat across from the hall to the morgue.

Jackson came out holding his shoulder I grabbed the first thing I could and hid my face. "How was it?" Lydia asked. "One cortisone shot won't kill me." he proceeded to be a jerk to her and I made a face so not to jump up and punch him. Derek was defiantly rubbing off on me. my hiding brochure was knocked out of my hands and I jumped up as Scott told me the scent was the same. "Derek hid the other half of the body on his property." Scott stated. "Or the Real killer hid it there to hid the body because he saw a burnt down home thinking no one would be there for a long time. I walked away. "Tell me do you want to do this because you don't like Derek or because he said you couldn't play in the game tomorrow?" I asked. "There were bite marks on the legs Stiles." he told me. "Okay then were going to need a shovel." I told him.

We went to Scott's house and got some shovels from the basement. I called my dad on the way to Derek's. "Hey. I'm going to be a little late to dinner. I'm sorry Scott and I got caught up on some homework." I said as I got the answering machine. "I hate lying to him." I got in the car and drove to Derek's.

we pulled as I watched Derek's taillights disappear. "Something's different." Scott told me as we reached Laura's grave. I'm sorry to have to disturb you. I told her in my head as we dug. Scott and I talked about the game tomorrow to pass the time. Scott was worried Derek would come back I told him about my plan. whoever he caught too bad. We reached her body quickly, it was wrapped in a tarp. I was complaining about the fact there were so many knots when Scott pulled the tarp back and we both jumped out screaming at the sight of the wolf head. I yelled at him about the head and human blood. "I told you something was different." he sighed. I shook my head and remembered the wolves bane. I pulled it out of the ground talking about wolves bane to Scott and Classic werewolf movies. I pulled it out in a spiral pattern. Damnit Derek revenge. I wound up the wolves bane when Scott whispered my name. I froze when I saw her. "We should cover he up and you can call this in tomorrow morning." I told him. covering her body up as quick as I could not wanting to see her cold dead eyes staring at me.

I arrived almost a half hour late for dinner. dad and Derek waited talking on the couch for me. I smiled. "Sorry did you get my message?" I asked dad who nodded. "Now that you're here I can finally tell you both my important news." dad smiled. "Your finally dating Mrs. McCall." I guessed. "No." he looked confused as he pulled out a manila envelope and gave it to Derek. who opened it confused. he read it and smiled up at me. "It's the deed to my house. it belongs to me again." I hugged my dad. "I figured instead of staying in my house all the time you could have yours again. so I pushed for it and pulled a few strings." dad shrugged as Derek thanked him and hugged him. "This calls for a dessert dad you get some unhealthy food. pie and ice cream. Derek can you go get the ice cream. chocolate. dad's favorite and I'll start the pie. it should be done by movie time."I said heading into the kitchen to defrost one of the frozen pies I had saved for special occasions.

Derek came back from the store and smiled at me as I stuck the pie in the oven now that it was heated to the right temperature. "I love you." he nuzzled into my neck I rolled my eyes and pulled away. "My dad is in the next room wolf boy." I raised a brow at him he shrugged. "I want him to know I love you before he arrests me tomorrow." he shrugged. "Good idea he'll not want me near you while he's investigating you. but you have an alibi that he'll have to look into because I'm your underage boyfriend." I smiled up at him. "Why do I walk in on these?" dad asked sitting at the table. I moved over so I could get our plates. Derek helped bringing over the drinks.

The next morning Scott and I called in the body. A Deputy arrested Derek and my dad was talking to other deputies. I made my way over to the car and Scott waved me saying no when I ignored him he turned so he was facing away. I snuck into the car and turned to face Derek. "I'm sorry." I told him. "You apologized a million times last night." he sighed looking at me. "but I'm the reason you're in handcuffs. As your mate I shouldn't be the reason you're in handcuff's unless it's us having sex." he raised an eyebrow. "Or not." "Be Calm your dad will realize this wasn't me." he leaned in close. "I love you." "I love you too Der." I was yanked out of the car by my dad. "Tell me how you found this body." he ordered. "It's half- Okay Scott found the body. We were looking for his inhaler." I told dad. he pointed to my jeep. "Go home." he ordered.

I went to the station and sat in my dad's office as he checked over Derek's cell phone records and credit card purchases. "His alibi is solid he wasn't even in the state at the time of death. I turned to see Derek on the other side of the window still handcuffed to a chair. "I know. He was talking to me. If you need a statement I'm willing." I told dad turning back to him. "His position when he made the call to you and his credit card are enough to give him an alibi without your statement." he told me as a deputy walked in. "ME's report." he told my dad. "Animal attack. Damnit." he said looking at me. "Bring in Derek Hale." dad ordered. "He's free we have more than enough evidence to say he didn't kill this girl. Animal attack along with him not being in the state is enough proof he did not kill this girl." Derek came in rubbing his wrists. "Derek sit down." Derek looked down at me, "If your revoking your permission for me to-" "We found Laura." dad stated interrupting my mate. Derek froze. "The girl it's her isn't it?" Derek said cold. dad nodded finally I saw the dam break all the emotions he'd held in. the chair next to me went flying and I jumped up startled at his actions. "Der." I pulled him to me seeing the tears in his eyes. the pure raw pain was clear to everyone. "Let's go home any questions can be asked later dad." my father agreed and let us go home.

We reached the house in record time and he blindly walked up to our room and we curled up on the bed I just let Derek lay there feeling the pain of loss again. All he had left of his pack was me. "Hey we'll find the alpha and kill him." I promised. he just nuzzled in closer, "I love you but shut up." he pulled me closer to him and buried his face in my neck.
