Charlie sat on the couch of her Grans house. The witch held her legs tightly and just stared off into space. Eleanor emerged from the kitchen and leaned against the doorframe. It had been a few days since Charlie had her breakdown, but Eleanor knew that she was still not herself. Derek had broken her in more ways than one. She had no clue what was going through her granddaughter's mind. Her phone had been going off constantly from calls and texts from Derek, but the redhead always refused to look at her phone or answer.
"Here" Eleanor said walking over to her and handing her a coffee mug. Charlie took it silently and then sat it on the table. "How are you doing sweetheart?" her Gran asked putting a piece of hair behind her ear.
Charlie fiddled with a string on her sweatpants avoiding her Gran's gaze. She didn't want to talk about how she was feeling. Derek still plagued her mind and it was something she didn't want, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the image of Derek and Jennifer kissing out of her head.
The redhead looked over at her Gran and stared sadly. "I'm sorry" she finally spoke after a moment.
"What?" Eleanor frowned slightly.
"I'm sorry for the way I've been acting and for everything this summer. I think coming back has done more harm than good and I'm sorry for that" her granddaughter looked at her.
Eleanor just shook her head and pulled Charlie closer to her, hugging her tightly. "Oh sweetheart" she said gently. "You have nothing to be sorry for. Yes you've been a little shit by keeping things from me and it's been extremely frustrating, but don't you think for one minute that coming back here was the wrong decision. Everyone was so worried about you. They wanted you back here. Derek more than anyone."
Charlie closed her eyes as a tear ran down her cheek. She pulled away from her Gran and took her sweater off her. Eleanor's eyes went wide as she saw the triskelion on her left shoulder.
"Oh my god" Eleanor breathed. "How long?"
"Since the day I left for Scotland" Charlie looked at her.
"Charlotte I am so sorry. For keeping this from you. Your father and I were just trying to protect you. Every time we lost you, it was hell for us. We're just scared every time you met Derek in one of your past lives" her Gran took her hands in her own.
"He wasn't always Derek" Charlie barely whispered.
"How many lives have you seen?" Eleanor asked.
"Just one for right now. The one from the 40s. I got flashes for a while when I was in Scotland, but then they became full on memories. I had one the other day I was with Wendy at a bar she owned with Thomas and Derek was Daniel" the redhead explained.
"Oh I remember that one well" Eleanor smiled. "The 40s were always my favorite. It was the last time we were all actually a family. No one was trying to kill each other, unless you count your parents and your brother trying to kill Nazi's"
"It seemed nice" Charlie nodded. "Why didn't you tell me the truth about mom?"
"Because we were afraid that you'd try to do something about her" her Gran sighed. "Charlie I need to know what happened. Starting first with, where's your aunt?"
Charlie licked her lips and nodded. As she was about to respond, there was a loud crash that came from the kitchen. The two witches quickly got up and walked towards the kitchen to investigate. Slowly walking in, they saw that the back window was shattered into pieces. The two witches looked at one another and continued in. Walking around the bar, there was a figure on the floor. Eleanor stopped dead in her tracks, as did Charlie. It was an unconscious Wendy.
"Wendy" Charlie exclaimed running over to her aunt and crouching over her body. The dark haired witch was bruised and a large bloody gash was on her forehead. Wendy slowly opened her eyes and smiled slightly at Charlie.
"Sorry about the kitchen" her aunt managed to get out before slipping back into the darkness.
Derek was jolted awake by the sound of the loft alarm going off. The Alpha quickly jumped off of his couch and ran over to it, hitting the button. He took a deep breath and looked over to see Cora walked up behind him.
"What does it mean?" she asked motioning behind him. Derek frowned at her slightly and turned around. On the window was the Alpha's symbol painting onto it. He walked closer to the window and stopped.
"It means they're coming" he finally spoke. "Tonight."
Melissa sighed and awoke in her bed. The late shift at the hospital had proved to be stressful as the on call doctor had gone missing and another had been found dead. She also had to save the life of Danny, who had been throwing up mistletoe. She sat up in bed and gasped at the sigh of Isaac and Scott sleeping on the other side of the room.
"Really, boys?" she sighed. "Boys!" she said louder causing the two teens to wake up and jump up. The two of them looked at the nurse in shock. "What do you think you're doing?" she glared at the slightly.
"Uh, we were watching over you" Isaac said looking between Scott and his mother.
"We wanted to make sure you weren't the third sacrifice" Scott said looking at her.
"But both of you were asleep" Melissa countered.
Scott looked over at Isaac frowning slightly. "You were on watch last."
"What are you talking about? You were on watch last" Isaac protested.
"No, you were on watch last" Scott shot back.
"I might've been on watch last" Isaac said nodding slightly.
Melissa laughed slightly. "My heroes. Wait, didn't you say that they were all doctors? I mean, I haven't had an M.D recently attached to the end of my name, so I think I'm in the clear."
"Yeah, but it could just come under any kind of healer, mom, and you were definitely a healer last night" Scott explained to her.
"Yeah, well, I'm not going to be anyone's human sacrifice today, so both of you get your butts to school" Melissa said sternly. The two teens nodded quickly and left the bedroom
"How's Charlie doing?" Scott suddenly asked as the pair walked down the hallway.
"I think she's getting there, but it's still going to take a lot of time" Isaac replied. "I know Derek's still my Alpha, but I just want to seriously punch him in the face."
"I seriously would consider joining in on that" Scott smiled slightly.
Isaac stopped and looked at the other beta. "Is it bad that I hope they work things out?"
"Aren't you and Stiles on a mission to keep her away from him though?" Scott frowned slightly.
"Yeah, but they made each other happy and now they're just miserable. Charlie's been good to me and I hate seeing her like this" Isaac shrugged. "Besides they're meant to be together."
"Stiles fessed up on that" Scot sighed. "I know that the universe has been putting them together, but maybe the universe doesn't want them together this time."
"For some reason I don't believe that. Derek…he's….he's in love with her" Isaac stuttered slightly.
"Are you sure about that?" Scott looked at Isaac pointedly.
"He's been talking in his sleep a lot lately. There was one night I heard him and he just kept repeating how much he loved her" Isaac explained.
Scott smiled slightly. "So you're going to find some way to get them back together?"
"Take it one step at a time, first things first. Get them in the same room and not kill one another" Isaac replied.
Charlie flipped a page of her sketchbook and sighed while sitting in the flower shop's back room. She turned around and looked back at her unconscious aunt. Ever since she had stumbled into the kitchen, the elder witch had been unconscious. She wondered what had happened to her and why it was taking her this long to heal.
"Gran are you sure we shouldn't take her to a hospital or anything?" Charlie called out, her gaze still on Wendy.
"Those doctors won't be able to do a thing" Eleanor walked into the back room. "With our luck they'll end up killing her instead of healing her."
"So what are we suppose to do exactly?" the redhead asked looking at her grandmother.
"We wait and I also have some herbs I'm growing that are ready to pick that should help her" Eleanor explained. "She's been hit with a lot of dark magic. Can you feel it just by looking at her?"
"Yeah I can" Charlie nodded. "It's not just any dark magic. It's Ross dark magic."
"You think someone from Edinburgh did that to her?" Eleanor frowned sitting down.
"Let's just say I know for a fact that someone from Edinburgh did that to her" Charlie bit her lip.
"I'm listening…." Eleanor said her voice trailing off.
"I think we should wait until Wendy wakes up so we can both explain, especially since it was your idea that she was in Edinburgh" Charlie glared playfully.
"God your aunt just can't keep her mouth shut" Eleanor huffed.
"Our family really seems to vary in how people can keep secrets" Charlie shrugged.
"That is very true" Eleanor nodded standing up. "I need to run back to the house for a few minutes. Can you watch the shop and your aunt for a bit?"
"Sure" Charlie nodded. Eleanor smiled and turned to leave the room.
"Gran where's the book?" her granddaughter spoke causing her to stop.
"What book?" Eleanor frowned slightly turning around.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about. Like you said" Charlie smirked. "My aunt cant keep her mouth shut."
"Charlie…." Eleanor began.
"Gran please. I want to understand this. What we are. I need to understand my connection to Derek" Charlie cut her off pleadingly.
Eleanor took a deep breath and nodded slightly. The elder witch walked over to her desk and opened the chest that sat on top of it. Pulling out the book she turned to Charlie and walked over to her.
"I will warn you. Some of the things in here….it will be hard to digest" she said setting the book down. "I think you can handle it though."
Boyd and Isaac sat out in a car outside the flower shop. Isaac couldn't get out of his head everything that Stiles and Charlie had told him. Charlie and Derek were destined to be together and yet they were apart. The teen took a deep breath and sighed.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Boyd suddenly spoke looking over at the other beta.
"I mean we've had worse ideas" Isaac shrugged.
"Yeah, but this one tops crazy" Boyd raised an eyebrow. "Especially since you made it your mission to keep her away from Derek and now you're basically planning on delivering her to him personally."
"Not really" Isaac shook his head. "I won't let things get to heated between them, but they need a push to get back on the right direction and besides we could use all the help we can get against the Alphas."
"She's going to kill you" Boyd stated.
"Probably" Isaac nodded.
"And then Derek too" Boyd continued.
"Most likely" Isaac looked at him. "Look you've seen how mopey he's been. She's a wreck. They just need to work out their differences. We're like the kids in the middle of their parent's big fight. We need to fix this."
"Yeah they need to. We don't need to" Boyd protested.
"It'll be fine" Isaac said opening the car door. Boyd followed suit and the two teens got out of the car and walked into the flower shop. Walking into the store they saw Charlie reading a book in the back room. She looked up at the sound of the bell.
"Oh hey guys" she said getting up and walking to the counter.
"Charlie" Isaac smirked. "You look wonderful today."
Charlie's face fell and she glared at him slightly. "What do you want?"
"Maybe we just wanted to see our favorite…."
"We need your help protecting Derek" Boyd said cutting Isaac off. Charlie looked at Isaac in disbelief.
Isaac sighed and looked over at Boyd glaring at him. "That wasn't part of the plan."
"Well its better to get to the point than dance around it" Boyd shrugged.
"What's going on?" Charlie demanded.
"Kali's going to go after Derek tonight in retaliation for him killing Ennis" Isaac explained. "We need your help protecting him. Please Charlie."
"You said you were going to keep Derek away from me" she protested.
"That's what I said too" Boyd nodded smirking.
"Charlie listen, Boyd and I would feel safer if you were there. We can fight, but if we had a little extra help it could be the difference between life and death" Isaac pleaded.
"Here's an idea. How about I stay here and protect the plants instead?" Charlie shrugged. "Gran's going to be more pissed than any Alpha if someone leaves her babies unattended."
Isaac and Boyd just stared at her with blank expressions. The two betas looked at one another and then back at her.
"Yeah…no" Isaac said his voice trailing off. "Boyd show the lady out…gently if you can."
"Plan B it is then" Boyd smirked walking around the counter and picking up Charlie and throwing her over his shoulder. The teen turned and walked towards the exit of the store.
"Boyd put me down!" Charlie screamed. "I don't appreciate being man handled."
Just then Eleanor walked in and stopped frowning slightly. Isaac and Boyd stared at the witch as Charlie continued to get free of Boyd's grip.
"Have her home in one piece please" Eleanor only said before moving out of the way to let the teens out.
Boyd, Isaac, and Charlie walked into the loft. Charlie frowned slightly at the sight of the Alpha's triskele on the window as Isaac dragged her inside. She still couldn't believe that she was here, against her will she might add. She was also worried about how Derek would react to seeing her.
"Go back to school" they heard Derek call out.
"Well, actually, we can't. Boyd and I are incredibly and unbelievably sick" Isaac counted as the three of them walked down the steps.
"With what, brain damage?" Derek asked emotionless. Charlie looked and saw him sitting on the spiral staircase. Their eyes met and she quickly looked away.
"Well, I have a migraine, and, uh, Boyd here has explosive diarrhea" Isaac shrugged smirking.
"We're here to protect you" Boyd stated.
"You're here to protect me?" Derek asked in disbelief. "With her? Don't you and Stiles have some sort of plan to keep her away from me? "
"That's what I thought too" Charlie rolled her eyes and sighed deeply.
"Well Boyd and I would feel more protected with her around. She is pretty powerful after all. So we'll all here to help" Isaac smiled happily.
"Well, I'm in trouble then" Derek huffed.
"Actually, Boyd here came up with a plan" Isaac explained.
"Yeah, I thought about the time Gerard had me and Erica locked up, tied up with electrical wires pushing current through us" Boyd said going through his duffle bag and pulling out a large set of wires. "I was wondering how we could do something like that, but on a bigger scale."
Derek, Charlie, and Isaac watched as Boyd dragged a large house through the loft, water spilling out of it and onto the floor. Occasionally Derek would take quick look at Charlie who always was avoiding his gaze. Isaac watched the pair hoping that one of them would break and talk to the other.
"In a pool of electrified water, it can take up to 50 milliamps to kill a normal human, less than the power it takes to turn on a light bulb" Boyd explained to everyone.
"That's comforting" Derek raised his eyebrows.
"If we disable the circuit interrupter in the building's electrical room, the current will keep coming, and anyone who steps foot in here, they'll get a pretty shocking surprise" Boyd smiled at them.
"Especially someone who's barefoot" Isaac looked over at Derek.
Charlotte was twirled around and Daniel pulled her back into his arms. The pair looked at one another quietly. The last two weeks for the both of them had been indescribable. She never would have thought that the night Daniel first asked her to dance that things would have felt so perfect and right. The pair had barely been inseparable since that night.
"You look beautiful tonight" Daniel suddenly spoke up.
"You tell me I look beautiful every night" she glared playfully at him.
"Because you're always beautiful" he shot back quickly. He pulled her closer to him and the two of them swayed.
"He leaves next week" Charlotte said noticing him staring at Thomas.
"So I've heard" he nodded slightly. "Are you worried?"
"To be honest no" Charlotte shook her head confidently. "Both of my parents are over there and can keep an eye on him. He has his magic. Thomas can take care of himself. Are you still upset that you haven't gotten orders yet?"
"Yes and no" Daniel looked at her. "I don't have to worry about leaving you behind, but then again, I did sign up for this."
"Would it be selfish of me to say I'm glad you haven't gotten orders yet?" she asked quietly.
"Of course not" he said leaning in for a kiss. Every time they kissed one another, it felt amazing, just as it was meant to be. Nothing had ever felt so right. The two of them pulled away and smiled at one another. Charlotte placed her head on his shoulder and sighed in contentment.
"Are you going to be okay tonight?" she suddenly asked. "With the full moon and everything?" It hadn't been long before the both of them had realized that they were both supernatural creatures. Charlotte was able to sense that he was different and Daniel could somehow tell she was a witch, but to the two of them, it didn't matter. Being together was the only thing they cared about.
"Yes sweetheart" Daniel laughed slightly. "I've had my wolf under control for years, but it also helps that I have an anchor to help keep my human side in check."
"What's that?" she looked up at him curiously.
"You" Daniel whispered quietly.
"Even after two weeks?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow.
"It's been five" Daniel raised an eyebrow.
"But there were three weeks where you couldn't bring yourself to talk to me" she smirked playfully. "It's been two weeks."
"The best two weeks of my life" Daniel sat confidently. Charlotte only rolled her eyes in response. He could still tell that she was slightly worried. This was their first full moon together after all. He understood why she was nervous.
"I'll be fine" he said catching his lips with her own. Pulling away after a moment he looked straight into her eyes. "Now you're dress on the other hand might be in danger tonight. I can't promise that it'll still be in one piece by the morning."
"I like this dress though" Charlotte pouted slightly looking at her red dress.
"I think I'd like it more on my bedroom floor" Daniel smirked.
"Is that some sort of Army code for lets get out of here?" she raised an eyebrow.
"If you want" he smiled in response.
"Let me go say goodbye to my brother and Wendy" she said taking his hand and leading him off of the dance floor. The pair of them walked over towards the bar where Thomas and his friend James were standing drinking.
"Ah little sister" Thomas greeted happily. "You and your gentlemen friend have finally decided to join us."
"Not quite big brother" Charlotte laughed slightly. "We're leaving."
"To do what exactly" James winked. "You two always leave early. Don't have too much fine."
Daniel and Charlotte just looked at one another and smiled. "We'll try not to. Thomas where's Wendy?"
"In the back" her brother replied motioned behind him. .
"I'll be right back" Charlotte looked at Daniel and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. She let go of his hand and walked back towards the backroom.
"So you and my sister" Thomas began. "Things seem very serious even after a short time. What are you intentions exactly?"
"If you're telling me to not break her heart I have no intention to" Daniel looked at the blonde.
"Oh I know you don't" the witch smirked. "You're completely in love with her. I've seen it. Are you still planning on making up excuses for why you can't get shipped out?"
Daniel's face fell. Thomas was right. He had been planning on making up excuses for why he couldn't be sent overseas. He didn't want to leave Charlotte. Even after such a short period of time, he felt like he was meant to be with her and being shipped off gave them the chance of never seeing one another again.
"I love her" Daniel nodded.
"Well even if you get shipped out, I doubt she'd forget about you" Thomas said looking into his drink. "I do suggest not proposing to her until our father returns. He has this whole speech planned out for the day someone comes to him to ask for Charlotte's hand. I wouldn't disappoint him even if the entire family is already on board with you."
"Does that mean you approve of us being together?" Daniel asked crossing his arms.
"Yes" Thomas said looking up at him. "It's fate I would say." Before Daniel could respond Charlotte appeared from the back and walked towards the young men.
"All ready?" she greeted Daniel.
"Of course" he smiled in returned.
"Don't be home too late tomorrow little sister, unless you want to be interrogated by Gran and Wendy again" Thomas smirked at her. She just shook her head and Daniel took her hand gently and led her out of the bar.
The cool September air had begun and the full moon was already in the night sky. Daniel pulled Charlotte into and alleyway and shoved her against the wall. Within second his lips attacked her, never getting enough of her. He moved to her neck, gently nipping at it and a moan escaped her lips. Daniel pulled away and looked in her eyes deeply.
"I love you" he whispered.
"I love you too" she replied smiling.
Charlie opened her eyes. She looked around, confused. She was on Derek's bed. The dreams were getting more vivid and real. She sighed and ran her hands through her hair. Looking around, she saw Derek sitting in a chair just watching her quietly.
"You feel asleep and I brought you in here" Derek spoke almost reading her mind.
"Sorry" Charlie said sitting up on the edge of the bed.
"It's fine" Derek replied almost instantly. He walked over towards her and offered her hand. She looked at it for a moment before taking it. The Alpha pulled her up from the bed. "I think I owe you an explanation about the other night."
"You don't owe me an explanation" she replied shaking her head. "It's not any of my business who you occupy your time with now."
"Charlie please…" Derek pleaded.
"Derek no" she protested. "We have bigger things to worry about now. Just let it go." With that she walked away from him, knowing deep down she should let him explain, but she was terrified of what he would tell her. She felt him grab her arm and spin him around towards him tightening his grip on her waist. He crashed his lips against her own. He placed a hand around the back of her neck to deepen it. She quickly pulled away from him and shoved her away from him.
"You can't tell me you didn't feel anything from that" Derek growled angrily.
"I can't" she whispered shaking her head and walking away from him.
Charlie moved her pointer finger around above the water and watched it move around. She, Boyd, and Isaac sat near one another on some bricks while Derek stood waiting for Kali to show up. She kept seeing Derek stare at her in her reflection. She wished she were anywhere, but here at this point.
"Isn't the light on that supposed to be on?" Isaac suddenly spoke pointing to the control panel. Charlie stopped playing with the water and looked up frowning and then over at Derek.
"Yeah" Derek breathed heavily.
"What does it mean if it's not?" Isaac asked again.
"Someone cut the auxiliary power" Derek replied almost instantly.
"What about the main..." Boyd began before the lights in the loft shut off completely. Charlie, Boyd, and Isaac quickly stood up and looked at Derek. She walked over closer to him as he turned to look at her. He was worried. The Alpha looked down at the water and then stepped down into it. He walked through it. Nothing happened. Their plan wasn't going to work at all.
"Derek…."Isaac began. "What do we do now?"
Derek stood quietly for a moment before his eyes flashed red. "We fight."
The door to the lost banged loudly and was pulled open roughly. On the other side stood a very angry Kali. She looked at the two betas and then at Derek who was completely wolfed out.
"Going to be honest, Derek" she sneered walked towards them. "When Ennis died, I thought to myself I'd just go for it. Find you and kill you, wherever you stood. Then I remembered how you surround yourself with these teenagers and that witch, hiding behind them, and I thought, what's a girl got to do to get you alone?" Suddenly behind her appeared the twins with Jennifer Blake in between them, one of their hands on her throat. Jennifer looked at Derek pleadingly and the Alpha's face fell. Charlie felt her heart drop and felt Isaac's hand on her lower back. Derek was going to get himself killed for the teacher. She didn't understand. One minute he was kissing her and then the next he was concerned for the teacher's safety.
"You and me Derek, or they tear her apart" Kali continued. "Or better yet which one will you choose to save?" Before anyone could register what happened. Aiden growled and sped over towards Charlie, grabbing her and pulling her away from the other wolves. His hand was wrapped around her throat ready to slice it open at a moments notice. Derek growled loudly at the other Alpha.
"Don't worry Derek, I'm not planning on killing her" the female Alpha smirked. "Deucalion's interested in this one. She's different, special even. Do you know why?" Derek just continued to stare at the Alpha angrily his gaze occasionally shifting to Charlie's as Aiden tightened his grip on her throat.
"You don't know do you?" Kali gasped slightly. "I can just smell your confusion. You probably think it's because she's next in line to a coven, but that's not the only thing that makes her so special." The female Alpha walked over to Charlie and Aiden and looked directly at her. She grabbed the witch's left arm causing Charlie to struggle, but she was no match for Kali. The Alpha ripped off a patch of leather from her jacket to reveal the triskelion mark on her shoulder. Derek's face fell as he saw the mark, blinking a few times in confusion. He couldn't believe what he was seeing on Charlie's arm.
"Congratulations Derek" she snickered. "Behold your true mate. It's rare for us you know to even find a true mate."
Charlie just looked at Derek pleadingly. She saw everyone on his face. The hurt, the confusion, and the anger "Derek…" she gasped causing Aiden to tighten his grip and his claws digging into her skin piercing it.
"Such a pretty thing" Kali smirked playing with a strand of Charlie's red hair. "What do you say?" she looked over at Derek. "You think you can beat me one on one?" Aiden pulled Charlie away from the female Alpha and over to his brother who still had a hold on Jennifer.
Derek stood quietly for a moment and looked at Charlie one last time. He motioned for Isaac and Boyd to go and the two betas walked away.
"I'm going to rip your throat out with my teeth" he growled before running towards Kali.
Charlie felt the tears welling up in her eyes as she watched Kali and Derek fight one another. Jennifer was whimpering and crying out loudly. The witch just rolled her eyes, wishing the teacher would just shut up. Derek knew. He knew about the mark. About what she was to him and if he didn't make it out of this alive, he would never know the truth. She felt her heart stop as Kali slashed
"Derek!" Jennifer screamed out loudly.
"You know if your brother wants to go ahead and tear the teacher apart, I'd say go for it" she managed to get out.
"You definitely aren't what I was expecting" Aiden smirked. "I figured you'd be one of those people out to save everyone."
"I guess you don't know me as well as you think you do" Charlie said quietly. "You see" she began. "I've had my fair share in killing people recently and you know what? One of them was a werewolf." The witch shut her eyes and opened them. They had changed to their violet color and she smirked. Aiden was suddenly thrown out of the loft and onto the ground. The Alpha growled at her as Ethan did as well. The next thing the twins knew a line of fire appeared in front of the witch. She felt someone grab her and dragged her away causing the line of fire to die down. She looked up and saw Isaac.
"Are you okay?" he said suddenly pulling them towards Boyd.
"I'm fine" she nodded quickly. "She's going to rip him apart. We have to do something!"
"Already on it" Isaac smirked. Charlie frowned slightly and then heard a loud growl and saw Derek struggling to hold off Kali. Isaac felt his phone vibrate with a text from Stiles.
"Come on!" he said grabbing Charlie and running towards the twins. The beta quickly grabbed the teacher as the power turned back on and Boyd, Kali, and Derek were shocked by the water, bolts of electricity shooting out all over the loft.
Kali quickly got up off the ground and looked at the twins. "Take him" she screamed and the two Alphas ran over and grabbed Derek's hands. Kali grabbed Boyd from the ground and picked him up bringing him over towards Derek and the twins. She slammed Boyd onto Derek's claws. Boyd gasped out in pain and his breathing hitched as the claws went into his body. The twins and Kalie left go of both wolves and looked at him. Charlie let out a muffled scream, placing her hand over her mouth as she backed up against the wall.
"I'm giving you till the next full moon, Derek. Make the smart choice" Kali spoke walking away. She turned and looked back at the Alpha. "Join the pack. Or next time I'm killing all of you starting with your mate." The female Alpha and the twins left the loft leaving a stunned Charlie, Isaac, and Jennifer to watch a dying Boyd.
Derek looked helplessly at his beta struggled to keep his eyes open and to keep living. He couldn't believe what he had just done.
"It's okay" Boyd was barely able to get out.
"No, no" Derek shook his head quickly. "No, it's not. It's not."
"It's all okay, Derek" Boyd said shakily.
"I'm... l'm sorry" the Alpha breathed his eyes filling up with tears.
"The full moon. That feeling" Boyd looked at Derek, his breath hitching. "That was worth it." Derek looked down, his claws still in Boyd's chest.
"There's a lunar eclipse. I always wondered what….." Boyd breathed. "What that felt like for one of us. For one of us..." With that Boyd fell back into the water dead.
Charlie found herself running over towards Derek and dropped to the ground beside him in the water. The Alpha looked over at her, shaking his head back and forth. His eyes went to her left arm and to the mark on it. Charlie looked at the mark and then back at Derek, as the tears flowed down from her eyes. She heard movement and looked up to see Stiles, Cora, and Lydia appear. The female beta quickly ran towards the group and dropped the ground, gasping and crying over Boyd's body. Stiles walked slowly over to Derek and looked at Charlie. He saw the ripped jacket and the mark on her arm. Derek knew now. He looked over at Boyd's body and saw how distraught Derek was. He walked over towards the Alpha and placed a hand on his shoulder as a few tears slipped down Derek's face.
Charlie took a deep breath and moved closer to Derek wrapping her arms around his body. She felt him bury his face in the crook of her neck holding her tightly. She slowly rubbed his back tightening her hold on him as well. For some reason, she had a feeling that this wasn't the worst thing they were going to face. Something else was coming, but at that moment, it didn't worry her. She had something else on her mind. It was time to come clean. She made up her mind. It was time to come clean about Scotland.
