Chapter 7

Previously

"You're eyes changed," Derek told her.

Gaby nodded "Well yeah they changed from blue to green, they always do."

Derek shook his head "No Gaby…they changed to red."

"What?" Gaby demanded.

"Your eyes changed from green to red."

The blonde shook her head "No, no that's not…that's not possible."

"It's very possible, Gab. And it's fine."

"How is this fine? Why are you not mad at me? Is it because I wouldn't move? Because you were hurting Scott and I wasn't going to let you seriously injure him just like I wouldn't let Scott seriously injure you or the other betas. I don't want this power…I don't wanna take it from you. I…"

"Gaby," Derek chuckled "Calm down before you get yourself worked up and you shift. I'm not mad because this is completely normal. I just didn't expect you to show signs of becoming an alpha so soon."

"What?"

"Mates are usually on the same level in the pack a beta with a beta and alpha with an alpha. A pack needs at least three betas, now that there are four it's natural for you to show signs that you're ready to step up."

"Derek, I don't want to kill someone for that title."

He shook his head "You won't have to. The thing I was talking to you about last night…when I said I'd tell you later…that's how you become an alpha."

"What is it?"

"It's a bond we have to form. When the bond is formed we'll be linked together. We'll be able to tell if something's wrong physically and emotionally with the other. It'll also allow you to pull up to an alpha ranking whenever you want."

"I'm probably going to regret asking this, but how is it formed?"

"Sex…when the full moon is at its peak."

"Yup, I was right. Wait is this why I was all over you on the full moon?"

Derek nodded "Since that was your first full moon it was hard for you to push back those urges. It was hard for me the first full moon when I came back to Beacon Hills."

"Why?"

"It's our natural instinct to create that bond with our mate…it's dulled in human mates, but it's still there."

"That's why I couldn't look away when I was dancing with Nick. Why I pretty much attacked you on my couch the night when you showed up alive…that was a full moon."

Derek nodded "And now that you're a werewolf…it's like ten times stronger. Unfortunately, you're pretty much going to be like that until we create that bond."

Gaby let out a long breath "This is a lot to process…so moving away from the bond…I'm not taking any power away from you?"

"No, the only thing that would change is I wouldn't be the only alpha."

Gaby looked at her phone and sighed "Scott's going to be wondering where I am. Will you come over tonight so we can finish this?"

Derek nodded and gently kissed her temple "I'll see you when you get there."

"Don't let my aunt see you," Gaby warned him before walking back towards the vet clinic. She was about to step out of the tree line when she noticed the Argents walking out of the clinic with a body bag. The blonde waited until they were far enough away to rush inside. "Why were the Argents here? Was it for the body?" she asked Scott when he met her up front.

Scott nodded "Something killed the guy by paralyzing him and slashing its claws upwards."

Gaby nodded starting her car "We have serious have a serious problem on our hands."

After dropping Scott off, she made her way towards her room and saw Derek sitting on her desk chair. "You okay?" he asked noticing her concerned look.

Gaby shook her head "Something else is out there killing people. It paralyzes the victim before slaughtering them."

"Is it bad?"

Gaby walked over to him "It's bad enough for me to use the word slaughtering."

Derek nodded and stood up "We'll figure this out…everything will be okay."

"I just feel like everything's hitting all at once. You know like me trying to control myself but freaky things just keep happening, us fighting all the time, me trying to step into an alpha ranking, and now something out there is killing people, it's just so much."

Derek gently wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him "Gab, it'll be okay. Just focus on one thing…mastering control. We'll stop fighting it'll make things a lot easier on you, you don't need to worry about the alpha ranking thing right now…we haven't even created a bond yet so just let that go, and let me handle the thing that's killing people."

"Not by yourself…I don't want you getting hurt Der."

"I won't be alone…"

"Okay how about this I don't want any werewolf getting hurt trying to take this thing down, especially you, it's dangerous."

The blonde sighed and leaned her head onto his chest. She felt safe in Derek's arms, she felt like nothing bad could happen to her as long as he was holding her. "Gaby I'll be fine," Derek whispered running his hands up and down her back soothingly.

"Do you think it's the thing that killed Isaac's dad?"

He nodded "It's very possible, but I'd have to do some digging to find out." The two stayed in silence for a minute before Derek cleared his throat "I should go they'll be wondering where I am."

Gaby stepped out of his embrace and watched him walk towards the window. She didn't want him to leave not after learning and seeing what this creature was capable of. "Hey Der," she called out stopping him in his tracks "You know I'm sorry for yelling at you the other day right?" The alpha looked at her and nodded his head. "And that I forgive you for hurting Scott?"

Derek sighed "What are you playing at Gaby?"

"I want you to stay a little longer."

"I can't Gab."

The blonde turned her back to him and started walking towards her closet grabbing her cheer uniform "…you know the mark on my shoulder disappeared thought you'd want to know that."

A few short seconds after that she felt his arms wrap around her waist and herself being thrown over his shoulder. Gaby had to quite her giggle as she told Derek to wait. "Aunt Lisa!" the blonde called still over Derek's shoulder.

"Yeah?" Lisa replied instantly.

"I'm going to turn on music in my room! Will that bother you?"

"Nope go right on ahead."

Derek grabbed the remote for her i-Home and hit play. Gaby giggled when she hit the bed. He climbed over her and pressed his lips to hers. The blonde placed her hands on the back of Derek's neck deepening the kiss. She rolled them over and laughed as he growled. "Stop being such a sourwolf," Gaby giggled.

"Don't ever say that again," Derek growled out. Gaby rolled her eyes and leaned down to kiss him again. She felt his hands slide underneath her shirt and rest on her lower back. The blonde pulled away and bit her lower lip. "Didn't mean to cross the line," Derek whispered.

Gaby shook her head "You didn't…take it off."

"You sure?"

The blonde rolled her eyes "I wouldn't have said anything if I wasn't sure, besides…I trust that you won't go too far with me yet."

"Just tell me when I hit that point," Derek said kissing her again.

After a minute Gaby began growing impatient with him, she pushed off Derek's jacket and threw it on the floor. She was just about to grab the hem of his tank when Derek flipped them back over. He ran his hands up her sides pulling her shirt up with them. After throwing the shirt onto the floor he helped Gaby pull his tank off and threw it on the ground. "Now," Derek smirked "How about we leave that mark somewhere no one but you and I will see it?"

"Nothing too far, right?"

"Nothing too far," Derek agreed.

Gaby laughed looking at her reflection in her bathroom mirror "I can't believe that is where you chose to leave a mark. Isn't the whole point of a mark to show that I'm yours?"

"Normally yes," Derek responded walking up behind the blonde "but since we're keeping everything a secret I have to be more discreet."

"So you chose there?"

"Well…no one else can see the mark unless they see you in just your bra…and no one better see you in just your bra."

Gaby rolled her blue eyes "No one, but you."

Derek was about to say something but Gaby's phone rang cutting him off. He handed her the phone and sighed "I should get going anyway."

Gaby held up a finger and answered the phone "Scott what's up?"

"Someone else was just killed by that thing," Scott answered.

Derek and Gaby shared a worried glance at each other. "How do you know?" the blonde asked.

"Stiles saw it."

"Oh my God! Is he okay? He's not hurt right? Oh God he's not dead right?"

"GABY! Stiles is fine. I'm on my way over to your house and we'll swing by and get him."

"Yeah okay."

"Be there in five."

Gaby hung up the phone and looked at Derek "That thing could have hurt Stiles."

"We'll figure this out Gab. I should probably go," Derek told her kissing her forehead.

The blonde nodded "Please be careful."

"I will." She watched as he jumped out her window and disappeared from sight. After sliding on a shirt and a jacket Gaby rushed towards the front door.

"Where are you going?" Lisa asked.

"Stiles witnessed an accident and he's really shaken up," Gaby told her aunt.

Lisa nodded her head "Alright send him my love."

The blonde nodded and ran out the front door as Scott stopped in front of her house. They drove to the station in silence both worried about their best friend. As soon as they pulled up Gaby got out and moved to the back so Stiles could sit up front. Stiles got into the car and sighed. "You okay?" Scott asked him when the hyperactive boy didn't say anything.

"Yeah," Stiles nodded "You're right. It's not like you. It's eyes were almost…reptilian. But there was something about 'em…"

"What do you mean?" Gaby asked.

"You know when you see, like, a friend in a Halloween mask, but all you can actually see are their eyes? And you feel like you know them, but you just can't figure out who it is."

"You saying you know who it is?" Scott questioned him.

"No…but I think it knew me."

The next morning Derek watched as Isaac rushed towards him. His second beta flipped over a table and jumped off a pole to attack him, but the alpha just threw him to the ground. Isaac did it again only to get the same results as before. Derek calculated all of his moves and deflected them each time. After he threw Isaac onto the ground a fifth time he heard a noise behind him. Derek turned just in time to see Erica jumping towards him from above. The alpha threw the girl onto the ground next to Isaac. He rolled his green eyes when neither of them got up "Does anyone want to try not being completely predictable?" Derek turned around just in time for Erica to jump on him and lock her legs around his waist. The alpha quickly threw her off before she could try anything "Don't ever try that again."

"Why because I'm a beta?" Erica asked glaring at him.

"No…"

"So who is she then?"

Derek looked at the girl on the floor "What are you talking about?"

"You're gone for hours then you just show up here randomly with another scent all over you."

"That's none of your business."

"Are we done?" Isaac asked breaking the tension. He knew there was something going on with Derek and some girl. The night of his first full moon he vaguely remembered hearing a girl in the subway car with Derek and the two of them arguing, but Isaac decided it wasn't his place to ask. If Derek needed to tell them he would have, so there had to be a good reason for him to keep her a secret. "Cause I got about a hundred bones that need a few hours to heal," Isaac said sitting up completely.

Derek looked at him and gave him a sympathetic look. He kneeled down to his level "Let me see." Isaac gave him his arm and Derek quickly broke it and pinned it behind the beta's back "a hundred and one." The alpha stood up "You think I'm teaching you how to fight, huh? Look at me! I'm teaching you how to survive."

"If they wanted us dead, why aren't they coming for us now? What are they waiting for?"

"I don't know. But they're planning something, and you especially know that's not our only problem. Whatever that thing is that killed Isaac's father, I think it I think it killed someone else last night."

"How do you know?" Erica asked him curious to how he got this information.

"I have my sources. Now until I find out what this thing is, you all need to learn everything that I know…as fast as I can teach you."

Gaby walked down the hallway trying to find Stiles and Scott, but she was coming up empty handed. Giving up the blonde made her way into the library. Luckily it was her free period so she decided to get a little homework done before the game tonight. She began reading her English assignment when someone stood in front of her lighting. "Can you please move?" she asked not looking up, but the person hadn't listened to a word she said. "Oh great," she whispered when she looked up to see David. She tugged at his jacket and he looked down a small smile spreading on his face.

"Can I help you?" he smiled more pulling his ear buds from his ears as the music began to fill the air.

"You know you can go deaf with the music being that loud…although that wouldn't seem to help our situation any, you already pretend to be deaf when I say no" she sighed as he took the seat next to her.

"Hey I have a very important question to ask you," he smirked pulling his bag to his lap, as she scoffed.

"For the third time, Mr. Levy, no I will not go on a date with you. I have a boyfriend okay," she snapped in a hushed tone.

"Well I was going to ask you for your help on this math problem our teacher gave us, but we can talk about us if you want," he said half cocky and half confused.

"You want my help?" Gaby's eyes grew wide and a small feeling of guilt sank in her stomach as he nodded. The blonde sighed "Sure let's see what we've got." As she leaned over to glance at his work their knees touched and she quickly pulled away when her phone rang. "Oh, sorry, I have to take this. It's my brother," she said uncomfortably grabbing her phone.

"Jackson told me you were some only kid freak that lived with your aunt cause something bad happened to your parents." Her eyes narrowed as her caught her lie.

"Oh well, it's my aunt cause I'm that kind of freak," she hissed, he could tell he hurt her with that statement but didn't seem to bother him, Gaby answered the phone a little upset as she walked out of the library. "What?" she snapped sliding down the nearest locker.

The blonde quickly put her bag on her lap, keeping people from seeing up her cheer skirt. "Hey calm down Gaby it's just me," Derek told her in a surprised tone "What's got you all worked up?"

"Some kid called me a freak because I'm an only child and live with my aunt because of what happened with my parents."

"Who said that?" he growled out.

Gaby rolled her eyes "Easy there tiger we don't need you killing anyone…especially him he's not worth it."

"Let me decide that."

"It's fine…it just hurt that's all. Seriously though, no killing him…or anyone for that matter."

"Alright fine…no killing this kid, what about threatening him?"

"No, none of that either."

Gaby was too preoccupied in her call to notice Scott walking towards her. "If you're sure," Derek's voice stopped him in his tracks causing Gaby to look up at him.

"Hey Scott," Gaby said trying to keep her voice even.

"Hey Gabs…is that Derek on the phone?" Scott asked raising an eyebrow.

"Uh…yeah it is."

"Why are you talking to Derek?"

"He keeps asking me to join him and I keep telling him no."

Scott hesitantly nodded "Are you going to finish your conversation?"

"Oh…yeah…I'm very sure and stop pestering me," Gaby said hanging up the phone. The blonde turned towards the other werewolf "So what's up?"

"Are you okay?"

She shook her head "No I'm not. David Levy called me a freak because of my living situation."

Scott sat down next to her "What?"

"Yeah…he's just being an egotistical jerk…but it still hurt."

He put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him. Gaby leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed. "You're not a freak Gabs," Scott whispered soothingly.

Tears began flowing out of her blue eyes "But I am…I don't have any parents, I live with my aunt who isn't there most of the time, I'm a freaking werewolf, and I'm not even a normal werewolf."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know…I just…all I know is that I'm not normal."

"How?"

"I don't know…remember when I was so angry at the clinic and when you calmed me down…I wasn't calm per say it was more along the lines of concerned which is exactly what you felt."

"How did you know I felt that?"

Gaby scoffed "You're eyes are like a freaking open book Scott. I know when you're concerned about something."

"So you're telling me you felt the same as me?" Scott asked. Gaby nodded but didn't say anything. "Everything will be okay…we'll figure this out I'll get Stiles on it."

Gaby laughed and sat back up "Thank you, Scott."

"For what?"

"Making me laugh."

Scott shrugged and helped the blonde up "It's what best friends do."

Gaby linked her arms through his and walked towards the stairwell to find the last member of their trio. They quickly found Stiles and sat on the stairwell to talk. "I'm so sorry about the other day," Stiles started. Gaby looked at him questioningly. "I'm trying. We'll get through this. I know because…I love you."

The blonde snapped her head up and looked at Stiles "What?"

Stiles ignored her and continued talking to Scott "I love you more than…oh my God! I can't…you and Allison just have to find a better way to communicate."

"Alright I'm caught up now," Gaby nodded going back to her book.

"Come on!" Scott exclaimed "You and Gaby are the only ones we can trust."

"So make the cheerleader do this stuff!" Stiles sighed.

"Hey," Gaby snapped throwing her paperback book at him "In case you forgot it's not a good idea for me to be around the Argents yet…Allison doesn't even know I'm a werewolf." Scott shifted his weight and Gaby instantly felt guilty and slightly uncomfortable. Her blue eyes narrowed at Scott "She doesn't know right?"

"Um…well I might have mentioned something…"

"SCOTT! What the hell? We agreed that if anyone was going to tell Allison about me it was going to be ME!"

The blonde stood up and gathered her things. "Where are you going?" Stiles asked.

"I can't be around Scott right now because I have the sudden urge to punch him in the face…God! Now I'm turning into Derek…thank you Scott." The blonde stormed off and walked outside only to see Allison sitting at one of the tables. She quickly made her way over to the brunette. "Okay," Gaby said sitting down "You know why I couldn't tell you about me right?"

Allison looked up at the blonde "Couldn't tell me about what?"

"The night of the formal…what happened to me and all."

"Oh that…yeah I understand. Scott told me that my family thinks you're still human and I can honestly say that everyone wants to keep it that way. I guess I just don't understand why you couldn't trust me with the information."

"I was…" Gaby started before Stiles ran up to them.

"Okay does you're family own like bestiary?" Stiles asked the brunette.

The two girls laughed. "I think you mean…" Allison started.

"No I mean bestiary," Stiles interrupted "And the two of you I don't want to know what's going on in your heads."

"Okay," Allison sighed "Can you describe this thing?"

"Uh…it's probably like a book old, worn…"

"Like bound in leather?"

"Yeah."

"I've seen Gerard with a book like that."

Stiles nodded and ran off. Gaby shook her head and continued the conversation from earlier "As I was saying I was going to tell you before your grandfather showed up and I over heard your dad and him talking about me still being human. I decided that if something were to happen and they found out about me…you wouldn't know and you wouldn't get hurt."

Allison smiled at the blonde "I can handle myself."

"No doubt in my mind."

Stiles ran up to the table panting "Where…does he…keep…it?"

"It's got to be in his office," Allison replied.

Stiles ran off again. Gaby laughed at her friend "This is fun we should do this more often. Although if I were Stiles I probably would have just called Scott while I was sitting with you rather than running around making a scene."

"Maybe we should tell him that," Allison laughed.

Gaby watched as Stiles ran back out "Or we can just let him continue like this."

He ran up to the table and took a puff of Scott's inhaler "You know drug dealers have been using disposable cell phones pretty successfully for years."

Allison shook her head "My parents check every call, email, and text message I send. Trust me they'd find it."

"All right. Can you get the book?"

"Not without his keys."

"Oh God we're planning on stealing the principal's keys," Gaby sighed "Why can't we have one day where we don't do anything that could put us in danger?"

"How is stealing his keys going to put us in danger?" Stiles asked.

"You didn't watch him slice a werewolf in half Stiles…trust me stealing a piece of candy from him could potentially put us in danger."

Stiles nodded "Very true. So how are we going to do this?"

"What about at the game?" Allison asked. "He's going tonight, I'll just sit with him and grab his keys. Stiles can grab them and run into his office to find it."

"Wait why me?" Stiles asked "Why not one of the werewolves?"

"Because I'll be cheering and Scott will be on the field. It'll be hard for us to get away long enough to go searching for the book."

The hyperactive boy sighed and started walking off "Fine I'll look in his office."

No outfit today...nothing really all that special just a cheer uniform lol.
