OK well I'm kinda meh about how this chapter turned out. I've been working on it for a while now and it's not getting any better so I figured I might as well finish it up and get it posted.

Now that Eric's turned we know what needs to happen next. I've just not been having any luck with a decent sexy times scene for Eric and Isaac. I finally had the idea to split it up to buy myself some more time. Hopefully I can come up with something a little better for when its for them. (cryptic I know it'll make sense when you read the chapter.)

I think we have 2-3 chapters left of the main story. I have one "one shot" sequel to this mostly written. I had a cool idea for what will probably be a I dunno 5-6 chapter sequel. I've started on that one and have most of chapter one done.

Sorry for my lame sex scenes. I'm not good at writing them. Although I think mine may be a little bit more like what sex is like in real life. I really roll my eyes at how explosively magical most people make sex out to be. I'm sorry but I've had a ton of sex and while its awesome and sticky and wonderful it's never as magic, earth moving, angel weeping while playing harps as most people seem to write it.

Anyway hope you like it.


Stiles looks at his phone to check the time and sighs. It's been a couple of hours since the pack left on their run. He knows from many years of experience they typically will be gone between 3-4 hours and will come home filthy, hungry, and buzzing with energy. He normally has Allison, Lydia or Danny to wait with but tonight he is on his own with his thoughts. He distracts himself by cleaning and preparing for everyone's return. He'd changed the sheets in everyone's room. Extra towels had been placed in the bathrooms since everyone always showers after devouring whatever food was waiting for them on their return. He had folded everyone's clothes and left them on the porch. He smirks when he remembers the look of shock on Eric's face when the pack had stripped down in front of him to shift to full wolf. Isaac always the sensitive one had ushered Eric around the side of the house and allowed him to disrobe in semi-private. Eric's shifting to full wolf had caught everyone by surprise. They had expected it would take a while for him to learn the form but Eric was confident he could do it and not one hour after his long awaited transformation he managed to shift fully with little effort.

Sometime later after checking the time again Stiles picks up the phone and orders several pizzas. He normally likes to prepare a meal for their full moon runs but he'd been too distracted by his own thoughts tonight to focus on anything. Right on schedule about 30 minutes after the pizza had been delivered Stiles is sitting on the front porch reading on his tablet when he feels them. He looks up and see's several sets of glowing eyes padding quietly out of the trees. Smiling he stands stretching slowly. "Welcome home pups." He says happily. Derek runs up to him and rubs on his legs nearly knocking him over. Scott presses against him forcefully causing the human to squawk and fall to the ground. In instant the pack is on him and seconds later they are a tangled mess of laughing squealing Stiles and happy wolves nipping and licking playfully at each other.

After several minutes the breathless human crawls out of the pile beaming at his happy pack. He is joined shortly by his very naked mate. Derek pulls Stiles in to his arms and kisses him deeply. "I love you." Derek says. Stiles smiles brightly radiating happiness. "I will never tire of hearing you say that. I love you too. Let's go get pizza before the puppies realize we're gone." He stage whispers tugging Derek towards the house. In seconds the front yard is full of naked men. "Did someone say pizza?" Scott laughs sprinting past Stiles and Derek towards the pile of clothes on the porch with Jackson close behind. Stiles looks back to see Eric standing shyly behind Isaac who has leaned in to Eric's embrace, a blissful look on his face. "Come on lets go inside." Stiles says smiling when he notices the matching marks on the two wolves shoulders. Nodding at Eric Stiles takes Derek's hand and the two walk towards the house. Isaac turns to look at Eric once the prying eyes were gone. Looking his mate up and down. "You are so beautiful. Inside and out." Eric smiles bashfully and looks down. "How was it." Isaac asks. "Before or after my mate finally claimed me as his?" Eric says lustily.

They'd been running for a couple hours. They slowed to a walk and Isaac turned away from the rest of the pack. Derek had smiled wolfishly and nudged Eric to follow his mate while he and the rest of the pack went off in the opposite direction. Losing sight of Isaac for a moment Eric had sped up a little. Rushing around the trunk of a large tree he lets out a very un-wolfly sounding squawk when Isaac lands on his back and nips at his neck playfully. The two wolves roll happily with each other shifting to beta then to human. Eric's brilliant orange eyes meet and lock with Isaac's bright yellow ones. Isaac grinds down on to Eric's already stiff member eliciting a whimper from his mate. "I've waited so long for this baby." Isaac says rubbing his face on Eric's neck. "Isaac." Eric pants noisily. "Take what's yours." Isaac grits his teeth straining to hold back. "It's going to hurt I'm so sorry but baby I can't control it. It's going to hurt. Tonight…..tonight's for our wolves. Next time.." Isaac stops and lets out a strangled howl as his wolf thrashes against his weakening control demanding they claim their mate. "Next time is for us" "Let go puppy they deserve it as much as we do." Isaac crashes their mouths together kissing Eric passionately. Eric responds hungrily. Isaac desperate to not injure his mate hopes this will satisfy his wolf just enough to allow him to prepare Eric. He shoves his fingers in Eric's mouth briefly before diving back in. He reaches roughly for Eric's entrance desperate to not make Eric relive the pain he'd gone through with Steve's assault. He's only worked two fingers in when what little control he has left shatters. Eric pushes back on his fingers drawing his wolfs attention. No longer distracted by kissing his wolf demands they claim Eric once and for all. Eric wraps his legs around Isaac's waist kissing him hungrily. "Isaac now please fuck.. He didn't break me, I'm not some delicate virgin." Eric whimpers out.

With far more force than Isaac wants he lines himself up and shoves in. Eric whimpers in pain but tightens his legs around Isaac's waist and throws his head back exposing his neck. Isaac dives down kissing and biting the soft skin while rolling his hips in quick thrusts. Their coupling is frantic, more noises than words as both wolves growl and pant in pleasure. Sensing his mates climax Eric locks eyes with Isaac "Come in me puppy you promised me every bit of your come. I want it ….give it to me. Every fucking bit." Isaac shudders just as Eric clamps down on his mates thrusting erection. Isaac flies over the edge and explodes inside Eric's tight passage. Semen pulsing out of him Isaac bites down hard and deep on Eric's shoulder. Clamping his arms and legs tightly around Isaac Eric's entire body spasms as he feels Isaac flooding his insides as his teeth sink in to his shoulder. The sensations are the final nudge Eric needs and his orgasm crashes through his body. Snarling loudly he lifts his head and bites down as hard as he can on Isaac's shoulder. The connection of the mate bond slams into place causing both wolves to spasm together and erupt with a second climax just as the first is dying down. Both wolves let loose with ear splitting howls of joy as their sweat slicked bodies pulse together.

Slowly as the aftershocks of the two back to back orgasms die down Isaac and Eric relax in each others arms. "Are you OK?" Isaac asks when his breathing returns somewhat to normal. "I've been claimed by my mate. I'm…..wonderful…amazing…calm." Eric replies softly. Isaac looks down in to Eric's eyes. Eric reaches up and cups Isaac's cheek "I can feel you puppy." Eric says tears forming and running down the side of his face. "I can feel you too baby." Isaac whispers smiling as tears of joy fall from his eyes. Eric smiles then says. "You're so beautiful I see you…..all of you. You're so beautiful…beautiful and mine."

"Amazing like nothing I could have imagined." Eric says taking Isaac's hand and threading their fingers together and walking towards the house. "I kinda thought I'd be bigger though." Eric says as they approach the porch. "What do you mean bigger?" Isaac says. "You're almost Alpha strength." Eric snickers "No I mean uh.." Isaac stops and looks at his mate. "I just thought.. uh.. IT would be bigger. You know?" Eric says gesturing to his penis. Isaac looks at it then back up at Eric confusion on his face. "But you're not small you're perfectly normal." "I just thought I'd be more like.." Eric trails off gesturing at Isaac who laughs softly. "Baby the Bite does many things but it does not give you a bigger dick." "So you mean that." Eric says pointing at Isaac's endowment. "Is completely natural?" "Yup." Isaac says with a reddish tint to his cheeks. "That's just not fair." Eric says sadly as they resume walking. "If it makes you feel any better I'll let you play with it whenever you want." Isaac says chuckling. "Sorry for being so shy hope they leave some food for us." Eric says leaning in to Isaac as they climb the steps to the porch. "You'll get used to the nudity we've all seen each other naked tons of times. Plus we were all on the Lacrosse team together in high school so we'd seen each others junk long before we were pack." Eric nods pulling his clothes on while not too subtlety watching Isaac as he bends over slowly to pick things up wiggling his backside slightly. "You're doing that on purpose." Eric chokes out a bark of laughter. Isaac smiles brightly at Eric before quickly slipping his clothes on. "Come on sugar dick lets go eat before the pizza's gone." Isaac says throwing his arm around Eric's shoulders.

Seated at the table in the kitchen the feeding frenzy is winding down. "How was it Eric?" Stiles asks. Eric looks up and smiles a large happy smile. "Awesome. The pull of the pack is so much stronger in that form. I didn't expect to feel everyone so strongly. It's just one step down from verbal communication. Even though no words were spoken I knew how everyone felt, where to go what to do. I felt so alive, so strong. It was…. Just…." Eric pauses a smile on his face he closes his eyes and shakes his head. Isaac leans over and kisses Eric on the temple. "I remember what it was like the first time I got to run with the pack in full wolf form. It was pretty awesome." Scott says smiling at Eric. "Your wolf is always there in the background. When you are in that form though….. It's like he's right there and you get a chance to really get to know him." Derek nods "The more times you are in your wolf form the closer you will get with your wolf. It's an important part of growing in to the new life. Your control will be better and you'll both be happier. It's a struggle sometimes for bitten wolves. For born wolves it's all you've ever known so it's as second nature to us as breathing or walking. You've got incredible control and have shown remarkable progress I'm very proud of you."

Eric smiles brightly and looks down shyly thrilled by Derek's praise. "Thanks Derek…for everything. For saving my life but also for giving me this amazing gift." Derek grins happily at Eric. Derek believes with all his being that the Bite is a gift. He knows though that many see it as more of a curse than something to be thankful for. He knows of many people whose life had been saved by the Bite only to renounce it and moan about their loss of humanity. He knows Eric appreciates being alive but hearing him voice his appreciation not just for saving him but turning him makes him very happy.

"So….. how's it feel?" Scott asks smirking at Eric and Isaac. Both wolves blush and lean closer to each other. "Sated. My wolf is absolutely satisfied. Calm, happy and relaxed." Eric says looking over at Isaac lovingly. Derek feels eyes on him and turns to see Stiles smiling at him fondly. "Scott can I talk to you for a minute?" Stiles asks. Scott cocks his head to the side a bit. "Uh sure." "In private." Stiles says standing. "Don't go anywhere frowny." Stiles says kissing Derek on the side of the mouth before standing. Stiles ushers Scott towards the study closing the door behind him. Eric looks at everyone at the table. "What's that about?" He asks. "I have an idea." Isaac says. When everyone looks at him. "No way, if I'm right then it's not for me to say." Eric and Jackson groan while Derek rolls his eyes. "I have a pretty good idea." At everyone's expectant looks Derek replies "It's not for me to say though." Smirking at Isaac. "Whose idea was it to sound proof the study anyway?" Jackson asks with a huff. "Who do you think?" Isaac asks. "Stiles pretty much designed he whole place. I can still remember him fighting with Lydia over paint swatches. "Isaac says rolling his eyes and leaning over and placing his head on Eric's shoulder.

Several minutes later the door to the study opens and Scott walks out pale faced and visibly shaken. His heart rate is elevated and his expression is carefully neutral. "You're up." He says simply to Derek before walking over and looking out the window. Derek walks wordlessly to the study and closes the door behind him. "You OK?" Eric asks. "Yeah… Yeah it's going to be OK….. Everything's going to be OK." Scott says almost as if he was reassuring himself gripping the window sill tightly.

"I want the Bite." Stiles says looking Derek in the eyes. Derek's eyes widen slightly as he listens to the steady even heartbeat of his mate. "You're serious." He says. Stiles nods and takes Derek's hand and leads him over to the loveseat. "Derek it's time. I've waited long enough." Derek swallows and nods his head. Thankful that at least for now Stiles can't hear his pounding heart. "I always knew you probably would ask but… Why now?" "You know when I first got involved in all of this I thought about it a few times. I was so close to asking you so many times. I just… I wanted to be a normal kid though. Well as normal as I could be with friends who were wolves. I wanted to do normal high school kid things, go to college marry Lydia and have lots of beautiful babies." Derek nods again. "I wanted you to have all that Stiles I promise I really did. You deserve so much…. So much more than I could ever give… To have everything that…." Derek says quickly. He'd wanted desperately for years for Stiles to give up on him, to leave so that he would be safe. Part of him had always wanted Stiles for himself but he never wanted the human, his mate to be in the constant danger the association with the pack would bring.

Stiles reaches up and cups Derek's cheek in his hand lovingly rubbing his thumb over his Alpha's lips "Shhh Shhh I know you did. I just couldn't leave you and I couldn't leave Scott. I've loved you for so long Derek. It started out as a crush but the more I was around you, the more I got to know you it became clear that you were it for me. I know it took damn near a decade but somehow you gave me just enough. You let me have my freedom. Let me go off to college and have the whole experience. You let me figure out my sexuality and have my fun. I know how hard it was for you yet you still gave me just enough to let me know that when I was ready you'd be there."

Stiles smiles happily thinking back. "A look, a hug when it was just us, just your presence any time I needed you I knew I could count on you. You always just knew. I know you snuck on to campus sometimes to check up on me. I could feel you. You don't know how happy it made me to know you cared enough to drive that far just to make sure I was OK. Somehow I just knew eventually we'd be together. Early on every time I'd have a close call I'd think about asking you for it but to be honest I was scared. Then high school was over and I was in college. I told myself once I graduated I'd ask you. I told myself that I didn't need to deal with being a wolf and college at the same time." Derek shifts on the love seat pulling Stiles close. "You graduated from college years ago though." He says. "I know. After college it was when the house is done, then it was when signed the treaty with the Davis pack. I just kept coming up with excuses. Eventually I didn't think about it anymore. Things got quiet and it just wasn't as important. I knew I would need to eventually because wolves live so much longer than humans. I just figured there would always be time for it later.

Then we get to Texas and Eric dies, Isaac is there holding him and…." Derek pulls Stiles closer as he starts to cry. "All I could think about was that we'd lost another pack mate. It reminded me how dangerous our lives are and how much it hurt you when we lost Boyd and Erica. I thought that could have just as easily been me. You've been through so much Derek…. I can't do that to you…I've been so selfish for so long putting myself at risk." Derek gently wipes the tears from Stiles's eyes and kisses him softly before responding. "Stiles I don't want you to do this for me it has to be for you…for yourself." Nodding and squirming closer to Derek. "It is really it is. It's time, it's past time I have no excuses now. I'm not going to be a liability to our pack. I'm not going to make you have to worry about me every time trouble comes to town.

"I'm going to be 30 years old soon. You've kept me in shape but before too much longer Mother Nature is going to start slowing me down. All the breaks, fractures, dislocations..… they are already catching up to me. Some mornings it hurts just to move. I have to push myself extra hard to keep up during our workouts." Derek nods. He'd noticed probably before Stiles was aware. He could sense the extra exertion Stiles was putting in to their routine to keep up with the rest of them. He'd smelled the pain from Stiles when he's force stiff joints to work in the mornings. Noticed how he'd limp when he thought no one was watching. He wasn't a teen any more darting through the woods powered by an overabundance of testosterone, adrenaline, and fear. He was a man now. A man who's body while still in great shape had been beaten and battered repeatedly over the years.

"I'm happy with you the way you are Stiles. You know there are risks…." Derek says softly. Stiles shakes his head squeezing Derek's hands. "I know the Bite may not take. Believe me I know. I also know that there are factors that stack up for or against it. I think in my case I'll be OK. In our lives getting slow, getting soft means getting dead. Or worse, someone looking out for me when they should be looking out for themselves gets hurt. I could never live with myself if you or anyone else was hurt or worse because I was too slow to look out for myself. My impending sluggishness aside though….." Stiles turns more so he's facing Derek. I want to belong to you Derek. I'm already yours but I want to be yours in every way. I want to wear your mark I want anyone who sees me to know who I belong to. Will you give me the Bite? Please?" He looks in to Derek's eyes for a few moments. Derek eventually smiles and nods. "When?" is all he says. "I'm ready now." Stiles says. Derek lifts Stile's arm and kisses him on the wrist before locking eyes. "Last chance… I love you the same no matter your decision Stiles." Stiles pulls Derek in for a long gentle kiss. "I love you too. Now bite me sour wolf." Derek rolls his eyes as they flash red before holding Stiles tight and biting down. Stiles whimpers in pain as Derek's teeth pierce his skin. Immediately he feels his blood begin to boil. He opens his eyes and sees Derek licking his wrist gently cleaning the blood and helping the wound to heal. "Love… you..Derek…always…..always." Stiles manages to get out as his consciousness slowly floats away. "I love you Stiles. I'll be right here when you wake up. We all will be."

With that Stiles nods slightly before his eyes flutter closed. Derek gathers Stiles up in his arms and squeezes him tightly a nearly inaudible sob shuddering out of him. "Please be OK." He whimpers. You're my life. I'm nothing without you. he thinks sadly. Derek squeezes Stiles closely to his chest keening softly before walking out of the study. Eric jumps up out of his seat knocking his chair over eyes flashing orange "I smell blood what's happened to Stiles?!" Eric races around the table in a blur before stopping cocking his head to the side and sniffing. "You've bitten him?" "How the hell do you move so fast? Christ it's like watching one of those cheesy vampire movies the way you move." Jackson growls. "He's OK he asked for the Bite and I gave it to him." Eric reaches out hesitantly but stops. "I'm… my wolf…can I sit with him?" Derek smiles softly. "Come on up he's OK but vulnerable your wolf wants to protect him." Isaac had joined Eric and laces their fingers together. "So I was right. I'm glad he'll be safer this way. Come on not only will it help you feel better it'll help his transition." "He'll be OK right we know he's going to be OK right? Eric asks nervously.

Derek turns walking towards the stairs. "He honestly wants it, he healthy and strong he'll be OK." "He should be OK." Scott stresses. Eric stops and walks back to where Scott is. He looks Scott in the eye for a moment before reaching out and pulling his frightened pack mate in for a hug. "He's my best friend… my brother…if the Bite doesn't take." Scott whimpers into Eric's neck. Eric whispers soothing things in Scott's ear while Isaac walks up and hugs both wolves. "It was his choice Scott we all know he was going to have to sooner or later. He's been through so much pain as a human. This is the best thing for him.

Have you noticed how he's gone back to hiding under layers of clothes again? He stopped for a couple years. Know why he started again?" Scott frowns and shakes his head no. "Scars, he's covered in scars Scott. His arms, his legs, chest and back. He's been stabbed, shot, clawed, and beaten. I've lost count of all the times has had broken bones or been knocked unconscious. It's a miracle he's never suffered any lasting damage. He hides it so well. It's easy for us to overlook it. We see the bandage or the sling and because we heal so fast we forget that for Stiles all those injuries are cumulative. There are days when he wakes up he moves like an old man because of the stiffness." Scott's eyes are wide, "How could I have not known." "I watch people I doubt many beside me or Derek were aware. He is good at hiding it. Don't beat yourself up over it Scott. I know you love him, we all do. He's Stiles. Even Jackson loves him."

Jackson says nothing but smirks looking down at the unconscious soon to be wolf in Derek's arms. "We wouldn't even be alive if it wasn't for him." Jackson says as he gently runs his fingers through Stiles's hair. Scott sees this and smiles. Isaac continues. "He's strong stronger than any of us. If anyone will survive it will be him. Do you think he'd leave us on our own? The best thing we can do right now is go sit with him and be pack." Scott sighs pulling back nodding and wiping his eyes. "Come on puppies we have a pack mate to watch over. We need to help him just like you all helped me." Eric says taking each of their hands and leading them up to Derek's bedroom where he and Jackson were already lounging watching Stiles sleep.
