Chapter 7

Derek's POV:

I ended up calling everyone for a meeting after what I heard happened to Skye. The alfa pack ment buisness right now if they are now starting to confront us.

When everyone met up at the abandoned train car, I decided to start speaking. "Okay, after what I heard happen today at your school, I think it's time we start getting down to buisness. Skye and Stiles, you two will have hoodies with mountain ash on it at all times at well as having it on your pants, got that?" They nodded yes. "Don't forget about your crossbows too." I looked to the rest of the pack. "As for you guys, stay together. All five of you should stay together but you three especially need to. The alfa pack knows that in order to take me down, they need to take you down. They don't consider Skye and Stiles part of our pack."

Skye then decided to speak up. "I have taught you guys all that I know. All that is left now is strengthening the skills I have given you. Derek should have no problem helping you with that." She then turned to Stiles. "Come with me, I still don't entirely trust you with that cross bow yet. You need as much practice as possible."

I heard Isaac's heart rate increase when Skye said that. I have heard something about Isaac and Skye being a couple now. I made a mental note to myself to talk to him after training.

Then there was something I noticed. "Hey, where's Peter?"

"Don't know," said Scott, "Maybe he bailed on us?"

"Wouldn't surprise me," Boyd replied.

I put my face in my hands. This is the last thing we needed. "Okay," I said, "Let's get started."

XxXx

Skye's POV:

Stiles and I stood outside in the woods near the meeting place.

"Okay, Stiles. I know you have gotten SO much better than when we first started this but I really think you need more practice with a cross bow. If you don't, you might shoot someone from Derek's pack."

"I wouldn't do that!"

"I know you wouldn't do it on purpose but you have to admit, you are pretty clumsy..."

Stiles sighed when he knew that Skye was right. "Okay, fine... Let's do this..."

Stiles and I did practice drills for about an hour when we decided to call it a day. It was getting dark outside and we didn't want to risk running into the alfa pack by themselves. So while the pack was still practicing, we decided to go to our own homes. I needed to sprinkle mountain ash on my hoodie and Stiles needed to get home before his dad grounded him... Again...

It took about ten minutes to get from the meeting place to my apartment. When I walked through the door, I looked around. Ever since I came to California, I just wanted to help Derek and find my way out of here. Now that I have made such connections with people, especially Isaac, I don't want to leave. I want to make a life here.

What was I supossed to do?

When ever I conteplate over life's tough choices, I always do one of two things, hit a punching bag, or dance. I personally like danceing more. It's more music for the eyes than anything else. Plus, it's more peaceful. Danceing is the reason why my couch is actually in my dining room. The living room is pretty big so there is plenty of room to dance and be free.

I walked over to my CD player, plug in my Zune, and press shuffle.

XxXx

Isaac's POV:

I figured Skye went back to the apartment when Stiles and her finished practice so I went to the apartment.

When I walked up to the door, I heard music. I figured she was just relaxing on the couch or something so I quitely turned the key in the door and opened it. What I found though was Skye dancing in the living room and pretty well I might add. I made sure not to be noticed by her and went to go stand in the corner, near the door.

They say before you start a war,
you better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.

She flowed through the air, seeming to defy gravity. Her hair rippling like waves in water.

I'm an angel with a shotgun,
fighting til' the wars won,
I don't care if heaven won't take me back.
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe.
Don't you know you're everything I have?
..and I, wanna live, not just survive, tonight.

Her body movments were not only graceful, but also powerful. Like she controled the world in her hands, like she could take on anything.

..and I'm gonna hide, hide, hide my wings tonight.

They say before you start a war,
you better know what you're fighting for.
Well baby, you are all that I adore,
if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.

I then went up behind her and before she even noticed me there, I grabbed her hand. When she turned around, I got a good look at her eyes. I never had the chance to really look at her eyes before but they were an odd color. Not werewolf odd but odd. There was a ring of blue on the outside fadeing into green, then fading into brown. They were beautiful.

XxXx

Skye's POV:

It seemed like we just stood there, staring at each other, for hours but it was only minutes. There was this unspoken connection that we have had for a while now but it seemed to get ten times stronger right then and there.

I then pulled away when I realized something.

"This is probably not very romantic for you since I am probably all smelly from dancing... Right?"

"I actually didn't really notice."

"You are such a bad liar! Even I can smell it!" I then walked down the hallway saying, "I'm taking a shower!"

I went into the bathroom and shut the door. Once I turned on the water to the shower, I stripped of my clothing. Then, once I felt the water was warm enough, I stepped into the shower. I felt the warm water splash on my face and then proceeded to get the sweat off my skin.

About ten minutes later, I was finished. I turned off the water and stepped out of the shower to grab a towel. Then I realized that I never grabbed a change of clothes out of my bedroom. "God dammit..." I muttered.

I wrapped my towel on tight and walked out of the bathroom to my bedroom, only to find Isaac laying on my bed. He seemed to be waiting for me.

"'Bout time you got out," Isaac said with a smirk.

"I just came out here to get some clothes, thank you very much," I replied with my own smirk.

He then walked over to me to slowly grab my waist, pulled me closer to his body, bit his lip in a ever cute way as if he was nervous, and kissed me gently. It was amazing. It wasn't like before were his mind completly took over. It was him showing me how much he really cared about me and how I cared about him. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me, which didn't seem possible.

He then pulled away to say, "I don't know, I think I like what you are wearing now." He then proceeded to kiss at my jaw line while somewhat tugging at my towel.

I let out a small laugh and said, "I think you are trying to hint at something." I was secretly trying to keep control of the situation but Isaac was making it very hard to do so. Why was he acting like this? Wait... Wasn't tonight the full moon? That would explain a lot!

XxXx

Isaac's POV:

I didn't know what it was but she just smelt so good. Her skin was so soft and damp from the warm shower she just stepped out of.

I continued kissing her neck and when she let out low grown, I knew she was enjoying it. It made me want her that much more. She must of not been able to take it anymore. She grabbed the back of my head and pulled me into a hungry kiss. Her lips tasted like rain. Eventually, I slipped my tougne into her mouth and explored.

What I didn't expect was for her to push me down onto her bed. She climbed on top of me with a leg at each side of my hips. Then, she took my wrists and held them down over my head. I couldn't help but smirk.

"You really think you can keep me down?"

"Probably not," she began, "But I thought I would try anyway." She then kissed me again. I took this opportunity to flip her onto her back. When Skye looked up at me, she bit her lip just slightly and that was it. She then took off my shirt and traceing her fingers along my stomach.

Then my claws came out.

XxXx

Skye's POV:

I was wondering why he pretty much jumped off the bed to get away from me, then I saw his claws.

All I did was cup his face and his claws went away.

"I don't want to hurt you," he said.

"You're not going to."

He shook his head and said, "I don't trust myself. I really don't want to hurt you."

"Okay, think about it like this, I wrestled with my sister when I was younger, who I might add was a werewolf."

"I don't care... I would never forgive myself if anything happened to you."

I sighed and said, "Okay, fine. At least I know that the full moon isn't getting to you."

"Uh, Skye, the full moon isn't until tomorrow."

"Ohhhh..." Realization then dawned on me. "OH MY GOD THAT'S IT!"

"Wait... What's it?"

"That's when they are going to attack!"

"Who?"

"Oh my God, are you stupid? The fucking alfa pack!"

"Wait... What makes you so sure?"

"Think about it, werewolfs are strongest on the full moon, right?"

"Yeah?"

"Even though you and the rest of Derek's pack will be stronger, so will the alpha pack. The difference being that the alpha pack will gain much more strength than you guys since they are alphas and you guys are only betas."

"Okay, then what do we do now?"

"We tell Derek! Duh! God... I swear, I am the smart one in this relationship."

"Hey! Offence!"

"Sorry."

We then left the apartment and as I was driving to Derek's hideout, Isaac used my phone to call him, to let him know we were on our way.

XxXx

Isaac's POV

"Are you positive?" asked Derek.

"As positive as I can be," replied Skye.

I just stood back at this point because Derek and Skye talk on a different level than I could ever understand. They continued their convertation and then I heard Scott, Stiles, and Boyd walk in. The three of us then turned to look at the other three that just walked in.

"You guys figured out when they are coming?" asked Boyd.

Skye replied, "Yeah, we did. It makes perfect sense when you think about it. They are waiting for when they are the strongest and they know that they will be unbeatable. We have the homefield advantage though and we have been preparing which I don't think they are expecting either. Plus, there is Stiles and I with the cross bows which they won't be able to heal from." I noticed Stiles looking down at the ground while Skye was talking. He has been very weird around her today.

Derek spoke up. "Okay, this is it you guys. This is an all or nothing deal. Some of you will get hurt. Hell, some of you might be killed. I will try my best to not let that happen but let's face it, I'm not the best alpha out there and I will admit that. Just know that whatever happens, you guys are my pack and therefore my 'family.' Or at least the closest thing I have to a family. I hate to get all sentimental and shit but I hope you guys will meet me here the day after tomorrow in one piece. I may give some of you guys a hard time but just know that I wish the best for you guys."

Honestly, I was taken aback by his words and it was obvious it wasn't just me who felt that way. Everyone in the room had this shocked look on their face. Even Skye did. I guess she is doing more good for Derek than she realizes.

XxXx

Skye's POV

We got home about an hour later after Derek's kind words and honestly, both Isaac and I needed sleep. Isaac went to the couch to go to bed when I spoke up.

"You do realize you can sleep in my bed with me, right?"

"Oh... Uh... I just didn't want to feel like I was pressuring you."

"Trust me, you're not. Not to mention I know what it's like to sleep on that couch and I know it sucks. Come on." I then gestured him to follow me into my room where we could both just relax.

I had no problem changing into my pajamas right then and there. Isaac on the other hand covered his eyes and went into the other room to change. I actually giggled softly at how shy he really was.

By the time he got back into the bedroom, I was already dressed and in the bed, laying on my side. He then crawled into the bed behind me and hugged me around my waist.

"Hey, Skye?"

"Yeah?" I answered half asleep.

"Have you ever considered getting 'The Bite?'"

"No. Never will."

"Why's that?"

"Let's just say that in my family, if you weren't born a werewolf, there is a damn good reason."

A/N:

Ok, so the song in there was called Angel With A Shotgun by The Cab! I love the band and I actually dicovered the band by watching an Isaac fan video to the song. You guys should check it out if you get the chance :)
