I found our next potential beta, a girl named Erica Reyna, I wheeled her out of the room she was in, she tried looking up,but I placed my hand on her head.
"Lie still." I ordered her before we got to the morgue. I had her medication in my hands.
"Side effects may include anxiety, waking, acne, ulcerative colitis. Yeesh." I said before setting it down.
"Who are you?" She asked me. I looked up at her and smiled.
"Let's just say we have a - mutual friend. You get a - warning right before you have a seizure." I said before sitting in front of her.
"It's called an aura. It's - it's like a metallic taste in my mouth." She said as I gave her a look.
"You don't have to lie, Erica. What's it really taste like?" I asked rubbing her shoulder in a comforting manor.
"It tastes like blood." She said with a sniffle.
"What if I told you - that all of this could go away?" I said looking at her, placing a hand on each of her sides.
"The side effects" I said with a comforting smile.
"the symptoms" I continued but with my wolf present a bit.
"All of it. And what if all those things not only went away - but everything else - got even better?" I said after pulling her close.
"How?" She asked wanting it.
"Let me show you." I said before making my eyes glow.
"What are you" She asked me.
"A Werewolf, we never get sick, have seizures, or any other medical issue you can think of, you can have power, confidence, and more beauty than you can imagine" I
said with my fangs showing.
"My mate and I can give you it, there are hunters, but with proper training you can avoid being hunted and afraid" I said smiling.
"I want it" She said looking at me. Her heart beating steady, I smiled, I took her wrist, sinking my fangs into her flesh, my venom escaping my fang and into her body.
She let out a painful gasp, I soon let go.
"I know it hurts but you are becoming one of us" I said with a smile. Soon I took her back to her house with my makeup kit. The bite healed, I could see her acne
healed completely, smelling her medicals fading and her sickness disappearing.
"Let's get you sexified" I said as I began my work, straightening her hair and putting her in makeup. Soon I was done.
"look" I said with a smile.
"That's me" She said looking at her new self. I nodded and she hugged me.
"Thank you" She smiled as I hugged her back. The next day Erica went to school, Derek and I picked her up, Scott and Stiles looked at us, I smiled as my mate drove
us away. Later that night I saw Boyd, he accepted it, and I gave him the bite, Isaac showed up with Erica and Derek, my mate held me into his chest, soon we all
heard Scott.
"Boyd, come on Boyd I just want to talk. Did they tell you everything, I'm not talking about going out of control on the full moons I mean everything" Scott yelled.
"She told me about the hunters" Boyd said as I stood by my mate.
" and that's not enough to change your mind, Boyd what ever you want there are other ways to get it." Scott said concerned for the boy.
"I just don't want to sit alone at lunch, everyday." Boyd said in a bit of disappointment.
"Well if your looking for friends...you can do a lot better than Jace and Derek" Scott said smoothly.
"that really hurts Scott..I mean if your going to review us at least take a consensus.. Erica how's life been since you met Derek and I." I smirked.
" well in a short summery.. Kind and transformative." She said her fangs showing, I smirked at the action.
"Isaac" Derek said smiling.
"Well I'm bummed about being a fugitive other than that I'm great.." He said relaxed.
"Okay, hold on. This isn't exactly a fair fight."Scott said looking at Derek and I.
"Then go home, Scott." I said before Erica and Isaac began walking over to the omega. Scott then slammed his fist on the ice, looking up at us fully shifted,
"I meant fair for them." He said before roaring, Isaac and Erica then proceeded to fight, but Scott being a werewolf longer had the advantage.
"Don't you get it they are doing this for you, they make you seem like they are giving you some kind of gift, but all they have done is turn you into a bunch of guard
dogs" Scott growled as he slid Isaac and Erica to both of us. I looked up at the beta. He doesn't understand.
"It's true it is about power" Derek said as he walked to Scott. Derek shifted and headbutted Scott. Then after slashing his stomach, Scott elbowed Derek in the face.
Derek shook his head and smiled at Scott. Derek got Scott's arm and punched him in the face repeatedly. After slamming Scott to the ice, Derek had his foot over
Scott's throat. Thats it, I shifted and roared,getting my mates attention. I saw Derek look at me.
"Derek don't" I growled half shifted. Derek got off of Scott. I looked at Scott , helped him up,
"Get out of here, heal" I said sending him on his way, Derek, Isaac, Boyd, Erica and I went to our temporary hideout to begin was trying to get past my mate. I
smirked. I got up as Isaac tried one last time to pass one of his Alphas.
"Does anyone wanna try not being completely predictable?" Derek growled. Then Erica pounced on him, kissing him, and grinding her body all over him. I growled as I
strided to her, threw her off, Derek wiped his lips off.
"That's the last time you do that." Derek growled at her.
"Why? Because I'm a beta?" She growled back.
"Because he's my mate bitch" I growled at her.
"Are we done? I got about a hundred bones that need a few hours to heal." Isaac complained. Derek and I looked at him with a ok look. Derek kneel to him, asked for
his arm, then twist it backwards.
"A hundred and one. You think we're teaching you how to fight? Huh? Look at me! we're teaching you how to survive!" Derek growled at him, before letting his arm go.
"If they wanted us dead why aren't they coming for us now? What are they waiting for?" He asked me.
"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 killed
someone else last night. Until we find out what it is, you all need to learn everything that we know. As fast as we can teach you." Derek growled then lead me to the
cart. I just stayed in the comfort of my mate's arms, later Derek and I went to the school to see what Stiles saw at the garage.
"Ahh..ow..ow ah..Derek Jace" Stiles sighed as Erica brought him in.
"Stiles what did you see at the mechanics garage." I asked holding a basketball.
"Several alarming EPA violations that I'm seriously reporting" He said looking at me. Derek looked at me, I flex my claws and the ball deflates.
"Let's try that again." I sigh.
"Alright it had scales, it's big can I go" he says anger.
"Alright eyes, eyes are yellowish and slitted oh it has a tail. Can I go now I have someone I really need to get to...wait what have you seen it, it looks like you have
this look on your face like you have seen it" Stiles said interested. I looked at the lizard creature. It hissed at us, it jumped down and knocked Erica unconscious.
"Stiles go" Derek pushed him out of the way. I saw the creature scratch Derek's neck,
"Der...your neck." I said grabbing him. We walked away and Stiles tried to get his phone. He dropped Derek and I almost fell in the pool.
"Stiles you so of a bitch" Derek scream before being submerged. Stiles dives in, the creature is looking at me, I see Derek and Stiles in the pool above the water, I dive
in and swim towards them. I hold up Derek's left side.
"I think it's gone" Stiles say breathless. A hiss emulates the room,
"not" I growl. We are stuck at the deep end.
"I need to get my phone" Stiles says exhausted.
"Your not letting him go" I growl helping him hold up my mate.
"you notice the thing with multiple razor sharp teeth"He says angry.
"Did you notice that I am paralyzed neck down in eight feet of water" Derek yelled as I struggled a little, due to the baby's weight.
"Didn't you notice that I have been keeping you alive for the last two hours." He said struggling.
"With my help jackass" I growled flashing my fangs at him.
"Yeah and who's going to be able to fight that thing you or me, you need me to survive, that's why your not letting me go" Derek grunted.
"Stiles" I yell as he drops him. He sink to the bottom. Stiles then called Scott, but he had hung up on us, Stiles swam to the bottom, and brought up my mate, I held
him up best I could.
"I can't stay up any longer, I need something to hold on to." Stiles said as we saw the diving boards with handles, we swam over but Stiles gave up. Scott got them
out of the water and the creature attacked him. I pulled myself over the edge,crawling over to my mate, I saw Scott holding a piece of a mirror,the creature stunned
then left. I remembered something Kanima.
"It's called a kanima." I said as Derek stood by me.
"You knew the whole time." Stiles asked me.
"No. Only when it was confused by its own reflection." I confessed
"It doesn't know what it is." Scott said as I nodded at him.
"What else do you know?" Stiles asked me.
"Just stories, rumors." Derek replied.
"But it's like us?"Scott asked us.
"A shape - shifter, yes, but it's - it's not right. It's like a" I said getting confused.
"An abomination."Stiles said as I nodded and began walking towards the car. Soon Derek and Erica got in the car and we drove off. Derek carried me back to the Cart.
setting me in the makeshift bed, he laid next to me, hand on my belly. My wolf purring in happiness, I felt small movements, my two month round belly containing Derek
and my baby, Derek placed his head next to where the baby moved to. I then started singing the lullaby my dad sang to me whenever I had a nightmare or to stop me
from crying.
"Still far away From where I belong But it's always darkest Before the dawn
So you can doubt And you can hate But I know No matter what it takes
I'm coming home I'm coming home Tell the world that I'm coming home
Let the rain Wash away All the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home I'm coming home Tell the world I'm coming home" I finished the last note, Derek placed his head on my chest, letting out a comforting sigh, one hand
on my round belly and the other behind me. I placed one hand on top of the hand on my belly and the other in his hair, rubbing his scalp as he fell asleep like that. I
smiled, everything will come together I hope.
