Ah, the chapter where everything begins to change on poor Derek and Amber.
I hope everyone enjoys!
Waking up with a jolt, touching my cheek, smiling a little as the smell of Derek's aftershave lingered in the room.
"So, he really can't stay away. That's encouraging."
Smiling I was about to fall asleep when my phone went off.
"Speak of the devil."
Answering the call, trying to keep the annoyance out of my voice.
"What do you want?"
"I need your help."
"No, you want me to sleep with you."
I heard him sigh.
"I can't train the pack on my own, fire, please?"
Hearing the alpha beg, I sighed.
"Fine, when do you train them?"
"In a few hours."
"Fine, I'll be there."
Hanging up before he could say anything, I rolled out of bed.
"What to wear?"
Grabbing a black pushup bra and a plain black tank top, pulling on some dark blue skinny jeans and dark purple three-inch heels. Pulling my hair into a messy ponytail. Nodding I walked out the door and started the drive to Derek's house.
Pulling up to the house, sighing when I saw Derek waiting on the porch.
"Hey."
"Don't hey me, I only came because you can't train a beta correctly. Let alone more than one."
Walking past him I wondered into the basement, seeing three betas looking a little lost.
"Hey Isaac."
The kid looked up and smiled at me.
Turning to the blonde girl, not surprised to smell Derek on her.
"And what's your name sweetheart?"
"Erica."
Nodding I looked at the tallest beta, surprised to sense how calm he was while the other to were riled up and nervous.
"And what's your name?"
"Boyd."
Nodding I knew I needed to introduce myself.
"My name is Amber, and like you I am a shape shifter, but I am called a Gato. All you need to know about that is that I am stronger than any of you and won't hesitate to knock you back to your place if you get out of line."
Isaac smiled knowing I wasn't kidding, while the other two looked concerned. Hearing Derek walk up behind me, placing a hand on my shoulder as he told the betas I would be helping with their training, when he was done with them.
Rolling my eyes, laughing when he told them to attack him.
Taking a seat on the stairs as Boyd joined me, watching as Isaac kept trying a direct approach, only to be thrown off to the side. Standing up I walked over as Erica jumped at Derek from above only to be thrown to the ground. Deciding to show these betas how it was done I took off my heels, knowing I was going to get a little revenge.
"Does anyone want to try not being completely predictable."
And just like that Erica ran up, wrapped her arms around his neck, her legs around his waist and started roughly making out with him, casing me to growl. Crouching low, hiding from his sight as he finally threw the beta off, wiping her lipstick away.
"That's the last time you do that."
"Why cause I'm a beta?"
With that his back was turned to me and I ran full speed at him, jumping on his back. Digging my claws in to his shoulders as he roared and reached behind to throw me off, only for me to land on my feet and kick myself into his stomach, knocking him off his feet. Standing up I pulled my tank top off, knowing it was about to get ruined as Derek let his claws lose, showing the betas he was going easy on them. Smirking I ran at him, dodging his claws as he tried to swipe at me, showing off my Gato heritage as I swung myself back onto his back, only to be thrown off and roll across the floor a few feet. Growling I looked up at him as he smirked in victory, thinking fast I jumped up and ran directly at him, dodging his claws I jumped off one of the pillars, kicking Derek in the back with enough force to knock him off his feet and land hard on his back, pushing my knee into his chest with my claws lightly touching his neck, bending forwards I whispered in his ear.
"And that my friend, is for betraying my trust."
Stepping off of him, smiling as he dusted himself off, glaring at me while I pulled my tank top back on, ignoring him as he talked to his betas. Walking upstairs, Derek hot on my tail.
"Don't ever try to show your dominance in front of my betas again."
"I was getting some revenge."
"Revenge?"
Turning I walked up to him.
"You let your wolf out and tried to mate me."
"You got your revenge by swiping at my head."
Laughing I reached up and touched his head were my claws had connected, the scar long gone.
"That was to make you stop."
"You weren't acting like you wanted me to stop."
I stuck my tongue out, making him smile.
"I missed you."
Smiling as he touched my cheek.
"I missed you too. The hair color is going to take a little to get used to."
Laughing I hugged my friend.
"You're still an ass, and you need to relax. And not sleep with your betas."
He laughed holding me against him.
"I really got to go Derek, Scott's game is in a few hours."
"Ok."
Smiling I stepped back and went home.
"He is going to kill me for being late."
Pulling up to the school, noticing the school was unlocked.
"What?"
Hearing a scream I ran into the school, instantly recognizing Derek's scent.
"What the hell is going on?"
Following the scent to the pool, looking in I saw Derek and Stiles in one of the pools, walking in I looked at them.
"What are you two doing?"
"Amber run, get out of here!"
Hearing a hiss I turned and spotted the lizard that had been haunting my dreams for the past few nights, its black and green scales moving as it paced, its yellow eyes looking directly at me.
"Oh Lord."
It slinked towards me. I bent down low, knowing I needed to protect myself. And watch it's claws.
"Watch the claws Amber."
"Shut up Stiles I know!"
It's a kanima, definitely need to keep away from the claws, and watch out for the tail.
As it lunged for me with its claws raised I dodged to the left, my feet barely staying on the wet tile. Feeling something slimy wrap around my ankle, before I was thrown several feet into the brick wall, landing hard on the ground I shook my head and ran at the kanima again, digging my claws into its shoulder before it tore my calf apart with its claws. Hissing I jumped away from it, favoring my bleeding leg. Running at the lizard again I forced myself to keep fighting it, swiping my claws at its neck as it bit into my arm, screaming I pulled my arm free and backed up a few steps.
"Ok you bastard."
"Amber don't!"
Ignoring Derek I ran at the kanima again, head butting it, with our heads pressed together it flicked its tail around and knocked me back into the wall with it. Whimpering I let my Geto form lose, my back claws digging into the tile I ran at it again, feeling the paralyzes trying to set in, jumping on the lizards back, digging my claws in as deep as I could as it reached back and threw me into one of the mirrors, glass digging into my back and side. Watching as Scott appeared, saving Derek and Stiles before concentrating on the kanima, feeling my world starting to get fuzzy as the kanima took off and Scott ran over to Derek.
"What was that?"
Derek forced himself to his feet, ignoring Scott as he ran over to me, trying to gently yank the glass out of my body, apologizing every time I cried out. Finally he pulled the last piece out and gathered me into his arms.
"Derek?"
He smiled, holding me close to him.
"Shh, your ok Amber, you'll heal."
"It hurts."
He nuzzled my neck, licking a cut on my cheek.
"You're going to be ok mate, I promise."
At that one word, my heart stopped, and I stared up at the werewolf.
"mate?"
He paused, realizing what he had said, smiling he bent over and kissed me.
"If you'll have me."
Smiling I nodded.
"Yes, I will have you as my mate."
He grinned, kissing me again.
"Sleep mate, you need to heal, I'll take care of you."
Nodding I let myself finally pass out.
Thoughts?
I told you things were going to start changing.
Again, 2 reviews is all I'm asking.
Have a good day guys!
