Chapter 14

Bethany looked at Derek, Scott, Stiles and Kate in turn. Each of them looked as confused as each other. The alpha was standing there, half human, half werewolf and she could see now that it was Derek's uncle.
"Well, well, well looks like the gangs all here." He smirked "For ages I've been trying to get us all here together and finally it looks like a twisted love triangle has brung us together." He turned to look at Bethany. "Bethany, how long I have searched for you, waiting for you to come back! Then one strange night you turn up out of nowhere and decide to stay, do you think that was a coincidence?" He asked looking directly into her eyes. "Well?"
"I thought so, but seeing as you're asking the question I'm guessing no." Bethany replied sarcastically.
"That's right, I brought you here! Ideally it was so that you and Derek could be back together and at last we could be a pack again, I admit that part of my plan didn't work out, with you falling for this annoying human being." He said pointing accusingly at Stiles "But I guess that wasn't to be helped and anyway he's easily disposable." He growled slowly stepping towards Stiles. Bethany quickly stood in front of Stiles, making herself a barrier.
"You touch him and I will kill you, I promise." She glared up at him. He took a step back, for a moment stunned at this outburst but quickly regaining his composure.
"Well if you want him that bad, I suppose he can be given the bite." He shrugged
"No." Bethany whispered
"What?" The alpha asked
"I said NO." Bethany almost shouted "For too long no one has stood up to your little games, you've hidden in the background silently killing those you think are worthless and turning random people into werewolves and ruining their lives, like you ruined mine. But I won't let it happen anymore. I wonder what happens to the alpha if NONE of his pack obeys what he says." She glared at him
He just stood looking at her for a moment and then quickly reached out to Kate grabbing her by the neck just as she was reaching for a gun.
"You think I'M the enemy?" He asked "You see I haven't just been killing people randomly, as you say, I've been killing people who have tried to kill me! You see this woman right here set fire to my house and left our whole family in there to die, to be burnt to death. But not just werewolves, humans too. This woman here is a murderer! This is the person who deserves to die!" He replied and with one swift movement, he sliced her throat. Kate fell to the ground dead. "Do you want your precious boyfriend to end up like her? Or to become one of us, if he survives the bite that is."
Bethany stepped back, nodded at Derek and Scott and took hold of Stiles' hand. With one swift movement she ran out of sight, taking Stiles with her. Derek and Scott followed suit.
"Playing games now are we?" He shouted to the air "I think the saying is, you can run but you can't hide!"
Bethany sat in a tree with Stiles "Stay here," she whispered "I'll be back in a minute"
"No." He said grabbing her hand "I won't let you be killed down there!"
"Stiles I have to stop him! I promise you I'll be fine!" She smiled at him
"But you can't make that promise, you don't know if you're be fine." He said tears filling in his eyes
"You're right I can't, but we have to stop him before he kills again!" Bethany whispered gently kissing him, then pulling back and leaning her forehead on his she whispered "I love you." And then ran off
"I love you too." Stiles whispered into the wind.

As Stiles sat in the tree he tried to stay as quiet as possible, silently praying that Bethany would be alright. That she would return safely. That they all would be alright. Suddenly there was a banging on the tree as someone climbed it. He sat up prepared for what was to come. Suddenly Scott appeared by his head.
"You alright?" He asked
"Yeah I'm fine, what happened?" He said nervously
"We did it, well Derek did it. He killed the alpha. It's all over." Scott replied "I guess it makes Derek the alpha now though."
"Oh, where's Bethany, is she alright?" He asked trying to look over his shoulder
"She's waiting for you at the bottom." Scott looked away
Once they reached the bottom of the tree, Stiles saw Bethany sat waiting for him.
"Hey." She whispered looking at him.
"Hey yourself." He replied sitting down next to her. "Are you alright?" He asked noticing her side was bleeding
"I'll be fine, just a scratch." She smiled up at him "I missed you."
"I didn't go anywhere." He replied smiling
"I know, I'm sorry I left, I didn't want to, I never want to leave you!" She grimaced in pain
"Are you sure you're alright?" He asked lifting up her arm to reveal a deep flesh wound. "Bethany we have to get you to the doctor! Where's Derek?" He said looking around.
"Stiles, I love you so much! Remember that ok?" She whispered
"What are you talking about?" He asked worry creasing his face "Where is Derek?" As he looked back down to Bethany she was starting to drift off as more blood was seeping out. "Bethany, stay with me ok?" He said grabbing her in his arms and running off.

Beep Beep Beep. Stiles looked at the heart machine attached to her arm. Beep. Beep. Beep. She looked so small, so fragile in the bed. He wanted her to be alright so badly, he squeezed her hand willing her to squeeze it back but nothing came. Beep. Beep. Beep. Why had they left her? Didn't they know how much he needed her, didn't she know how much he needed her! She couldn't just leave him!
The doctor walked in, Stiles turned around to see him.
"Is she going to be ok?" He asked desperation in his voice
"We're not sure yet, she seems to be a fighter though. Do you want to leave, maybe get some rest?" The doctor asked touching his shoulder
"No, I'm not leaving her, I should never have let her leave!" He muttered clutching her hand. "Please Bethany, please! I need you so much, I can't do this alone. Bethany please wake up." Tears rolled down his face, he wiped them away quickly and then buried his head onto the side of the bed allowing the tears to come.
"Don't... cry." A voice mumbled
"What?" He looked up to see Bethany looking at him trying to open her mouth.
"Man, up." She whispered a small smile appearing on her face.
"Doctor!" He shouted grabbing hold of Bethany and hugging her so tightly, like he was never going to let go.
The doctor came rushing in "What?" He asked
"She's ok." He smiled as Bethany squeezed his hand back. The doctor came over to the side of the bed.
"Hi Bethany, you had us worried there for a while." He smiled
"That's my job." She replied hoarsely, she pointed at a glass of water. Stiles picked it up and gently poured it into her mouth.
"Well, if I read all this correctly it looks like you're going to make a full recovery." He smiled looking at the machines and charts.
Stiles smiled "I'll say she is."

3 weeks later

"Now you have to take it steady, ok? No running around chasing boys." Stiles smiled leading Bethany down the Hospital entrance to his car.
"I have no need to chase boys." She smiled "I already got me a catch." She turned around to kiss Stiles, she had missed this.
"Now I asked my dad and he said it's fine with him for you to stay with us, I don't want you wandering around that big house of yours by yourself, got to keep you safe now." He smiled wrapping her up in his arms and kissing the top of her head.
"That's fine." She replied pulling away and looking him in the eyes. "In fact that's more than fine, I have a feeling this is going to be a good year." She started walking her arm still wrapped around Stiles and his around her.
"You do now do you?" he asked
"Yes I do." She smiled, arriving at the car as Stiles opened the door for her. She got in and turned to look at him, "I have the best boyfriend in the world, what more could I ask for?"
