BROOKE'S POV:
Aidens body was hard against mine as he took control pinning me on the bed. I moaned as Aiden gripped my thigh tightly pulling me closer to him. I dug my claws into his bare back as he begun to thrust repeatedly driving me insane.
"Oh god Aiden!" I shouted his name causing him to chuckled once we were done.
"Told you sex was better once you're turned." He said holding me in his arms thumb rubbing against my shoulder.
"What do you know, you were actually right about something." I smirked getting up pulling my underwear on.
"Aw come on where are you going?" Aiden begged grabbing my arm pulling me on him.
"We have to go to school." I reminded him getting off and continued getting dressed.
"Like you never ditched before." Aiden mumbled getting up completely bare. My eyes wondered biting my lower lip. "You know you want to."
"My my Aiden, what would Deucalion say about you being a bad influence?"
He groaned pulling on his boxers. "Way to kill a mood BB." Aiden walked over to me only wearing jeans with his shirt in hand. "I'll see you at school." With a peck on the neck he left leaving me alone in the cruddy apartment.
To my disappointment Isaac wasn't anywhere in sight. I sighed heading to my locker pulling some books out.
"You look good enough to eat." Aiden whispered from behind me grabbing my waist scrunching up the dress I was wearing.
I turned around taking his hand in mine so it was away from my dress.
"There are people around."
"So." He shrugged.
"You're not very smart are you?" I teased shutting my locker. "I have to go to class I suggest you do the same."
During class images of Nikki's bloody body kept flashing in my head during class. Her scream echoing in my ear. I shot out of my chair feeling sick.
"I need to go to the bathroom." Without waiting for Miss. Blake to answer I exited the classroom dashing into the bathroom puking.
"Gross..." I wiped my mouth rinsing it out in the sink pulling out my phone dialing Nikki's number. It went straight to voice mail shocking me.
"Hey slut it's me pick up the phone and give me a call like now."
Ethan was outside the bathroom scaring me.
"Seriously? Can I go to the bathroom without being followed?"
Ethan was at my side hand resting on my shoulder. "You okay?"
"Where the hell is Nikki?" My question seemed to take him off guard.
"Who?"
"You know beta dresses kind of slutty about 5'4 with blondish brown hair."
"You remember.." Ethan whispered more to himself. I squinted at him about to question when Aiden came up grabbing his brother by the shoulder.
"Shouldn't you two be in class?"
"Shouldn't you?" I countered.
"You're right we should get back." Aiden smirked dragging his brother away.
"Wait, Ethan what did you mean!" Neither turned back just continued walking. I threw my hands up in frustration going back to Miss. Blakes class. Stiles and Scott turned around looking at me.
"Okay what's that look for?"
"We need you to distract Aiden so we can talk to Ethan." Scott said.
I shrugged. "Okay."
"Okay? That's it? Here I was prepared to do a whole lot of begging." Stiles seemed suspicious.
"You guys have your reasons to get them alone and I have mine."
AIDEN'S POV:
That was close Ethan was about to crack.
"You can't tell her." I whispered to where only he could hear.
"What happened to not getting attached? Here you're worried about me and Danny when you're the one getting soft."
"I am not getting soft." I growled lowly.
"Than why does she remember Aiden?"
"I don't know. I did, okay? I did erase her memory of killing Nikki like Deucalion said."
"But you didn't erase her memory of the beta completely."
I sighed glad the bell rang surprised to see Brooke waiting outside seductively smiling in my direction.
I arched a brow but didn't argue as she dragged me to the boys locker room locking the coaches door behind us.
"About earlier-" I got cut off as her lips pressed against me forcefully.
"Forget it." She breathed out helping me out of my shirt. I lifted her up pressing her back against a wall continuing to fit in heated kisses. A screeching noise on the door caused us to pull apart.
BROOKE'S POV:
Some swirl mark was left on the window catching my curiosity.
"What is that?"
"Derek." Aiden growled swinging the door open. "Come out Derek! You want a fight come and get me!"
A strong force threw me against the sinks cracking my head. I'll give the beta this she has speed even managed to scratch Aiden across the chest but the alpha is stronger. He tossed Cora back than grabbed a weight smashing it on her head.
Before he could hit her again Scott and Ethan came barging in holding Aiden back.
"Why did you do this!" Ethan shouted.
"She came after me!"
"It doesn't matter! Kali gave Derek until the full moon, you can't touch him or her!"
"And if they attack Brooke, who do you think she'll care more about?" Aiden growled than left while Ethan went to my side.
"Are you okay?"
"One of you needs to tell me what the hell is going on!" I growled while he dragged me out of the locker room.
"I can't tell you anything but lets say you go to Deaton and ask for help and he just happens to know and tells you that would be out of my control."
"Thanks Ethan, I owe you." I smiled than ran out of the school getting on my motorcycle heading to Deatons.
As soon as I arrived my phone went off irritating me.
"Allison now is not a good time."
"I need your help meet me at my house. It has to do with the murders."
"On my way." I took one glance at Deatons than drove off to Allisons surprised to see Isaac at her side.
"Uh I didn't do anything today I swear."
Both of them looked at me confused. "Nevermind. Why call me when you have wolfboy?"
"That's what I said, I mean you're probably just going to tell your sex alpha right after this." There was no hiding the venom in his words.
"One Argent to the next, you don't have very good taste in women do you?" I replied.
"Clearly I slept with you." He smirked innocently.
"Why don't you say that a little closer I have new set of teeth I've been dying to use."
"Kinky." I couldn't help but chuckle at his remark. Isaac relaxed a tad at my laugh.
"Not that your banter isn't funny but we need to track my father down." Allison said pulling out a map.
"I thought this was about the killings?"
"They're the same." She held a black light over the map revealing marks scattered.
"This is where the others have been taken, and this is where they were found." Me and Allison peered over her dads desk looking for any fresh marks.
Isaac was behind us eying the desk.
"What are you doing?" I asked facing him.
"Something I learned from my father. Take a step back, look at the whole picture." I did as he said body tensing as my arm slightly brushed against his.
"You see things you wouldn't notice up close when all you were looking at are the details." The feel of his breath sent chills down my spine. I turned my head to face him getting lost in those blue eyes.
Something weird happened as if the scene around me begun to change to the bank.
"Are you alright?" I heard Isaac's voice but it got drowned out by Nikki's.
"Brooke, stop it." Her voice shook with fright. "This isn't funny."
"I'm not laughing." my voice was raspy almost unfamiliar as I charged at the beta claws out. "Brooke!" She screamed in pain as blood drenched me. Deucalion looked over at me smiling..There was someone next to him but I couldn't see clearly, a girl figure was all I got.
"Brooke!" Isaac's hands rested on my shoulder snapping me out of it.
"I'm sorry." I took a step back body shaking. "I gotta go." Before either of them could stop me I rushed out feeling light headed.
"Not feeling so well." Ms. Morrell questioned scaring the hell out of me. "I think you're in need of some guidance." I followed her to the alpha's apartment where luckily none of them were here.
"What's happening to me?"
"You're remembering killing Nikki."
"Why would I kill the only friend I have?"
"Because Deucalion ordered you to, or maybe it's because you wanted to. Don't you ever wonder why your wolf eyes are blue oppose to Scott's or Isaac's whose are yellow?" I sat in silence waiting for her to continue. "A werewolf with blue eyes means they've taken an innocent life."
"Mine were blue when I turned that would mean-"
"Nikki wasn't the first beta you've killed and once you start there's no stopping. The thirst for power will drive you to do things you wouldn't normally consider."
"My black outs?"
"That's your way of forgetting the killings it's also an effect of Aiden messing with your memories. There are only so many times you can screw with someones mind before they slowly go insane."
"How many? How many others have I killed?"
"I don't know."
"Why would they do this to me?"
"Deucalion is obsessive. He sees what he wants and if he can't have it he'll destroy it. Your ability makes you unique, a rare alpha."
"But I am not an alpha."
"Yet. He's afraid that the moment you become an alpha you'll rip his throat out that's why he's keeping you as a beta for now until he's certain your loyalty will be with him."
"I'm not like Aiden and Ethan I owe Deucalion nothing and I will rip his throat the moment I get the chance."
"I wouldn't be so certain. While you're planning how to kill him he's already 10 steps ahead. You're playing a game you never had a chance of winning." I stood up hands in a fist.
"You're wrong."
Ms. Morrell stood up eyes looking through me. "How do you plan on killing a man who can order you to kill other people."
"Beta's have killed their alpha's before, it's not impossible."
"None of those betas had Deucalion as an alpha." With those last words I ran outside the apartment complex surprised at how late it was.
My phone vibrated in my pocket.
'Meet me at the school. Life or death situation.'-Aiden
I sighed hands still shaking, It better be.
Driving as fast as I could I went to the school forgetting about the memorial service.
I tried calling Aiden to meet me outside but it just went straight to voice mail. "Aiden where are you? Last time I called someone and they didn't answer that person ended up being dead so please call me back, bye."
Tiny footsteps appeared behind me causing my eyes to shift to their unnatural blue. A sharp pain poked my side before everything went black.
ISAAC'S POV:
Me and Allison found out where her father was going but my mind kept reeling back to Brooke she didn't look to good.
"Stay behind me and don't get in the way." Allison said exiting the car.
"This isn't going to end well." I stated before following after. We walked cautiously into the area unaware of what waited before us.
"If you father tries to kill me I'm going to try and not die so yeah just a warning."
"If my father tries to kill you, you'll be dead."
"Nice motivational words." We continued to walk when the undeniable smell of blood hit my nostrils. I grabbed Allison stopping her from walking anymore. "There's blood."
"Which direction?"
"I don't know not really good at this. I think there." I pointed in front of us eyes focusing seeing a body tied up.
Allison reacted fast running toward the body not seeing the creature behind it.
"Allison wait ,don't!" I shouted running after her.
"Get down!" Chris Argent's voice ordered coming out of nowhere baring two guns. Instantly I grabbed Allison pulling her down as he begun shooting at the creature.
While Allison and her father had a little argument about lying to one another I begun putting two and two together.
"What if it's not guardians."
"Philosophers." Chris stated, "I almost had it until you two showed up."
"That's two bodies so there's going to be one more."
"The memorial it's going to be filled with teachers."
"Looks like I'm going after all." Allison stated and we hurried out driving to the school. While the ran I stopped seeing Brooke's motorcycle and the helmet dropped on the ground catching my curiosity.
"Isaac come on!" Allison called. Hesitating I followed entering the school late for the memorial.
Instantly I scanned around for Brooke spotting the twins but she wasn't with them.
"Where is she?" I whispered low enough for only Aiden to hear.
"What are you talking about?" Aiden replied not turning back.
"Brooke she's here, where?" At that he turned around worry easily seen irritating me.
"I don't know."
BROOKE'S POV:
Everything was blurry as I opened my eyes. I tried to move but every muscle in my body hurt.
"It's pointless I injected enough wolfsbane too keep you weak for about 10 hours give or take a couple hours. It won't kill you but you'll wish it had." Miss. Blake knelt in front of me wearing an evil smirk.
"You're the Darach.." My words were slurred but still understandable.
"I am."
I looked around seeing a girl tied beside me unconscious.
"Lydia?" My fingers twitched but that was the only movement I could do.
"She's can't talk right now being unconscious and all. I have to say an Argent werewolf is a sight. I mean you're the monster you kill kind of ironic."
"And you're a psycho bitch. Glad we're over our identifiers, now I'm guessing this is the part where I beg to be let go and you tell me your master plan?"
She chuckled grabbing a wire dipping it in wolfsbane. "I think we can skip that and just go straight to the killing." She got behind me wrapping the wire around my neck when Lydia started waking up. Miss. Blake ignored the girl pulling tightly on the wire.
Lydia begun to scream piercing my ears like a dog whistle. Miss. Blake instantly stopped strangling me circling Lydia amazed.
"Unbelievable. You have no idea what you are do you? The wailing woman. A banshee, right before my eyes."
My eyes went wide at that bit of information.
"I'll kill you when I'm done with her." She went back behind me wire tearing at my throat the wolfsbane burning.
"It's really too bad Brooke, we could have worked together to kill the alphas."
A gun shot went off hitting her in the shoulder loosening her grip. I took a deep breath using all my strength to break the ropes and kick her back. The sheriff was at my side concerned.
"Are you okay?"
"Run.." I whispered but it was too late Miss. Blake threw a knife hitting him in the chest.
"You're just getting everybody killed aren't you little Argent."
A growl caught her attention as Scott charged striking at the teacher but missed as she pushed him back with inhuman strength.
Stiles was at the door but Darach pushed a desk against it keeping him out. I watched horrified as she made her way toward Mr. Stilinski. My eyelids begun to get heavy.
ISAAC'S POV:
Me and Aiden took off hearing the scream seeing Stiles banging on a door.
Aiden pushed Stiles back kicking the door open throwing the desk back. My eyes darted to Brooke on the floor covered in blood. I ran toward her picking the small beta in my arms. Her raven black hair was sticky with the blood on her neck eyes shut.
"Brooke?" I brushed her hair back. "Come on open your eyes." Aiden was behind me standing still I could hear his heart rate increasing with fear.
Brooke's eyes fluttered open slowly causing me and Aiden to sigh with relief.
"Where's the psycho bitch?" She questioned clearly more worried about Jennifer than her own wounds.
"You don't die easily do you?" I asked still holding her.
"Sorry to disappoint, I'm not that easy to kill." She replied pulling me into a tight hug than pulled back wincing in pain. "That was a bad idea."
"Not that bad." I replied caressing her cheek.
"We need to find Ethan and report back to Deucalion." Reluctantly I handed Aiden Brooke glaring as he carried her out.
I looked at Scott and Stiles who were starring out a broken window.
"What?"
"She took my dad." Stiles voice broke.
BROOKE'S POV:
I felt incredibly useless in Aiden arms.
"You don't have to carry me."
"You reek of wolfsbane so my guess is she injected you with it, unfortunately for me your mouth still works." Aiden teased smirking at the look I shot him.
"You're not funny. And I'm not talking to you anymore."
"I saved your ass and you're not talking to me?"
"You've been screwing with my head so yeah I'm not talking to you."
"How'd you- It was Nikki's death wasn't it? I didn't erase it all the way like the others, I couldn't."
"Why not?"
He opened his mouth to answer but decided better and just kept walking.
AIDEN'S POV:
Me and Ethan drove Brooke to her apartment making sure she got there safe considering Deucalion would kill us if she died.
"We can stay you know." Ethan suggested while we sat beside her on the couch making sure every wound healed.
"Thanks but I just want to be alone right now." He nodded heading out.
I placed my forehead against hers, hand cupping her cheek. "If anything happens howl, I'll hear you."
She nodded. With one last look I left following Ethan who was smiling like an idiot.
"What?"
"You like her. You love your little BB." Ethan teased my guess this is payback for me threatening Danny.
"Shut up." I playfully shoved him. "And I don't, if she got murdred-"
"I know Deucalion would kill us so you keep using that excuse." We drove back to our apartment where the others where at.
"What happened at the school?" Kali questioned anger edged in her voice.
"It was the Darach, it got Brooke."
"And you left her alone?"
"She's fine all healed up and shiny."
"Morrell says Brooke remembers Nikki would you care to explain why?" Deucalion stepped forward.
I looked down sheepishly. "It was my fault I can fix it."
"I think we're way past that." Ms. Morrell walked in. "Brookes loyalty will never be with you as long as she keeps believing you killed her mom. You thought she'd be easily manipulated if she was consumed by range but she's smarter than that."
"I guess it's time I get in the game." An angelic voice said. The voice belonged to a beautiful woman with raven black hair and piercing blue eyes like Brooke's.
Me and Ethan stood still unsure how to react to the newcomer.
"We haven't officially meet, I'm Nina Argent."
