Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Wolf or any of it's characters.
Unbeta'd. All mistakes are mine. Don't think I mentioned it before but the first couple of chapters are set on a Friday night.
The next couple of days passed without incident, from the alphas and within the pack, but that didn't mean there weren't any close calls. The pack had started running patrols around the preserve and the perimeter of the town. After chasing the alphas scents from dingy motel rooms to old abandoned houses they concluded that the alphas were sending them on a wild goose chase.
As far as any of they could tell the foreign pack must have been observing them from outside of their little town. The scent trials which they found to be dead ends were most likely a way of separating the pack members and observing how they worked together. When Derek revealed his theory to his betas they were all uncomfortable at the idea of someone watching their movements.
The wolves were playing a game with them which put all of them on edge.
As Stiles woke to the loud beeping of his alarm clock he almost forgot what had been happening for the last couple of days. He rolled to the side of his bed and hit the snooze button before realising that he had to get up now if he was going to make it to school on time.
The teenager chuckled. It seemed odd to be worrying about things like this after the events of his weekend. He hadn't talked much to Derek but Scott and Isaac kept him updated on the alpha pack.
Stiles walked over to his desk and picked up his mobile, switching it on whilst looking through his wardrobe for a clean shirt. Just as he sniffed one to see if it was so he heard his phone vibrate across the table. He threw the t-shirt over his head before he went to pick it up.
You have one missed call.
It was from Scott. There was also a text that he sent a few minutes after, it was sent half an hour ago.
Odd, he thought. His best friend was hardly ever up before him. He opened the text.
Dude, EMERGENCY. Cover for us at school.
He huffed a sigh before moving around hi room to get himself ready for school. By us he knew the werewolf meant himself, Jackson and Isaac. It wasn't the first time that Derek had pulled them out of class for werewolf training but with the alphas circling them he couldn't help but feel weary.
He walked out his room and heard the tell tale noises of his Dad downstairs making breakfast. The scent of bacon and scrambled eggs drifted up to him and he took the stairs two at a time rushing to get down there. The smell overwhelmed him as he entered the kitchen to see his father standing over the the stove. A plate of bacon was placed on the table and he was stirring a frying pan full of eggs.
"Hey kiddo, grab a plate."
Stiles eyed the man suspiciously until he turned to face him. "Yes it's turkey bacon."
The teenager eyed the eggs before letting out a laugh at the innocent expression on his fathers face. "Yeah, and the butter?" he walked over to the fridge and pulled out the unopened pack of low fat, unsalted utter he picked up last week.
"That isn't food and you know it." the sheriff said pointing accusingly towards the butter with his spatula.
"I will allow it this once but only 'cause the Stiles is hungry." he made grabby hands towards the pan of eggs. His father just laughed and split the eggs between two plates and set them on the tale. Stiles immediately sat down and shoved a forkful in his mouth before grabbing a piece of bacon.
"Breathe, Kid." the sheriff chuckled, taking a sip of his coffee.
The boy looked unaffected and continued to shovel down his breakfast. The ate in companionable silence for a few minutes until Stiles had devoured most of the food on his plate and looked up to face his Dad. Looking up at him reminded him of the conversation he had had with Derek the other night.
"if he doesn't know what's happening then he could be in danger"
The thought made him pause. Should he tell his Dad that there were werewolves in this town? He was sure that he had suspected it but his father had never confronted him. Stiles thought back to seeing Sean, Kyle and Emily at the Hale house the other night, they were family, shouldn't he know if they were here?
Then again, the clan had been a taboo subject since...Mom.
He shivered at the thought and his Dad picked up on it.
"You alright, Stiles?" he questioned.
This was his chance. His chance to tell him everything that was going on. To make sure he was safe. "Yeah Dad." slipped out of his mouth before he could stop it.
"Alright, I'm at work if you need me. Have a good day at school." his Dad said as he put his plate in the sink and walked towards the door.
"Bye" a pause "love you."
"Love you too, Kiddo." he heard the door shut.
Surely keeping him in the dark would protect him more, right?
He put his head down on the table next to his plate. After a moment he followed his Dad's example and left the house, walking to his jeep and climbing in the front seat.
