Chapter 9
I do not Teen Wolf in any way.
A/N-The mating chapter is next!
Derek and Scott returned to the train depot.
Isaac was sleeping, so Paige quietly got up and went into her brother's train car.
"I'm saying we need a new plan, because next time, one of us is gonna be too hurt to heal", Derek said.
"Ugh, I get it. We can't save Jackson", Scott said.
"We can't seem to kill him either. I've seen a lot of things, Scott. I've never seen anything like this. Every new moon's just gonna make him stronger", Derek told him.
"But how do we stop him?" Paige asked him.
"I don't know. I don't even know if we can", Derek said.
"But we have to try", Paige said.
"Maybe we should just let the Argents handle it", Scott told them.
"I'm the one who turned him. It's my fault", Derek said.
"Derek, it's not your fault", Paige told him.
"Yeah, you didn't turn him into this. I mean, this happened because of something in his past, right?" Scott asked.
"That's a legend in a book. It's not that simple", Derek said.
"What do you mean? What are you not telling me?" Scott asked.
"Why do you think I'm always keeping something from you?" Derek asked him.
"Because you always are keeping something from me", Scott argued.
"Well, maybe I do it to protect you", Derek said.
"Doesn't being part of your pack mean no more secrets?" Scott asked.
"Go home, Scott. Sleep. Heal. Make sure your friends are safe. 'Cause the full moon's coming. And with the way things are going, I've got a feeling it's gonna be a rough one", Derek said.
Scott sighed and left the train depot.
"That includes you", Derek said looking at Paige.
She shook her head and went back to her train car.
Derek was right about this full moon being a rough one.
The next day, Derek woke his wolves up and told them to meet him in the training area. Derek walked over to the trunk and opened it.
On the inside of the lid was the triskele.
"What is that?" Isaac asked, "It looks just like the one on Paige's necklace".
"It's a triskele. Spirals mean different things - Past, present, future. Mother, father, child", Boyd explained.
"You know what it means to me and Paige?" Derek asked.
"Alpha, beta, omega?" Boyd guessed.
"That's right. It's a spiral. Reminds us that we can all rise to one or fall to another. Betas can become alphas, but alphas can also fall to betas or even omegas", Paige said.
"Like Scott?" Isaac asked.
"Scott's with us", Derek said.
"Really? Then where is he now?" Isaac asked.
"He's looking for Jackson. Don't worry, he's not gonna have it easy tonight either. None of us will. There's a price you pay for this kind of power. You get the ability to heal, but tonight you're gonna want to kill anything you can find", Derek said handing Isaac some chains.
"Good thing I had my period last week, then", Erica said.
"Well, this one's for you", Derek said holding up some headgear.
It had metal spikes facing in.
That night, Derek went to work chaining his wolves up.
Paige helped.
"What if we break free?" Boyd asked.
"Then you'll do anything you can to get out of here. Probably try to kill me, then kill each other and kill anything else with a heartbeat", Derek said. He turned to Isaac who was standing behind Erica. "I need you to hold her", Derek told him.
Isaac put his arms under hers and held her tightly. "So how come she gets to wear the headband?" he asked.
"Because she'll be able to withstand more pain than the two of you. I've got an extra one if you really want it", Derek said.
"I'll pass", Isaac said.
"You ready?" Derek asked Erica.
"Yeah", she said.
He placed the headgear on her head and started twisting the metal screws.
Erica's cries got louder as they worked their way into her head.
When he was done with Erica, he turned to Isaac.
Isaac followed him to one of the seats and sat down.
Paige took Isaac's hand in hers, trying to comfort him as Derek chained him up.
"How do you not feel this?" Isaac asked, gasping through the pain.
"I feel every second of it", Derek told him.
"Then how do you control it?" Isaac asked.
"Find an anchor. Something meaningful to you. Bind yourself to it. Keep the human side in control", Derek told him.
Isaac looked at Paige, causing her to blush.
"What is it for you?" Isaac asked.
"Anger. But it doesn't have to be that for everybody", Derek said.
"You mean Scott?" Isaac asked.
"And me", Paige said, "My anchor isn't an emotion like Derek. My anchor is Derek. If anything happened to him, I'd probably lose control and go on a killing rampage".
"All right, that should do it", Derek told Isaac.
Isaac yanked at it and they all went silent as they heard growling.
The two siblings ran out of the train car.
Derek pulled out his phone and dialed Scott's number.
It went to voicemail.
"Hey Scott, can you call me back? Probably gonna need some help", he said. He hung up and they turned as they heard a crash. "Definitely gonna need some help", Derek said. Derek released his claws and the two walked into the train car again.
All the betas were fully transformed now.
Isaac lunged at Derek as he walked by.
The moment Isaac saw Paige though, he nuzzled her stomach with his head.
Erica and Boyd broke free and went after Derek.
He broke free and dragged Paige out of the train car.
"Isaac!" Derek yelled.
Isaac threw Paige to floor. He flipped her onto her stomach and Paige started to panic.
"Isaac stop!" she yelled. She had wanted to mate with him, but she didn't expect to get raped by her own mate. She managed to flip them over so she was on top. "Stop!" she growled.
Isaac looked at her and the look in his eyes changed. "I'm sorry", he breathed.
She smiled at him and said, "It's okay. Now help Derek". She got off of him and she watched in pride as he ran back into the train car to help her brother.
When she went into the train car, Isaac had Boyd pinned against the wall.
He looked at Derek and nodded.
Once Derek had Boyd and Erica re-chained, he turned to Isaac. He was already seated in one of the seats, ready to be chained up again.
"Think you'll be okay now. Looks like you found an anchor", Derek told him.
Isaac looked over at Paige.
"Two. Paige and my father", Isaac said.
"Your father locked you in a freezer in the basement to punish you", Derek said.
"He didn't use to", Isaac told him.
Derek looked at Paige and she nodded.
"I'll watch them. Go get cleaned up", she told him.
Derek left the train car and Paige looked at Isaac.
For the next chapter, the story will be bumped up to M, because I'm paranoid.
