Derek, Jackson and Scott stood in front of the house, they had to protect the pack from the Kantheon, and Maria had only brought more questions with her answers. How were they supposed to force a demon to feel love? The Kantheon had loved Maria and she had betrayed him?

"What if we were able to force the love we feel for each other upon him, he would feel everything we feel for each other?!" Scott suggested.

"Our powers are linked to each other, if we did that it's possible that he could have access to those."

"Maria said that emotions make us human, and without them we are nothing more than a tittle, what if, we were able to call his memories back to him?" Jackson suggested.

"His memories are inside his head, they are simply locked away by the demon side, and only something that reminds him of the pain that he has suffered can break that seal. You need to remind him of loss! His losing of Maria was what forced him to become the Kantheon in the first place, if we can force the demon to feel the pain of loss then perhaps we can remind him of his mortality." Danny said walking up to his Alphas. "She looked directly at Stiles when she mentioned the emotions, Stiles' emotions are what comprise his entire being, and Stiles uses his emotions in everything he does, if we can force those emotions upon him we can unlock his humanity and finally kill him.

"Your right Danny, Stiles has the most powerful emotions of anyone I have ever met, but you do understand what you are asking of us Danny, You know what has to be done?" Derek answered.

"I do know what I ask, and I do have to discuss it with Stiles first, but until then I would appreciate it if you could keep it quiet." Danny said his decision was clearly a tough one.

Danny turned and walked from the room.

"I cannot give up Stiles, he's my best friend and I will not lose him to this monster, we have to find another way." Scott pleaded with Derek and Jackson.

"We know Scott, but you know it to be true, Stiles emotions are the most powerful I have ever encountered, he may be the only way we can save everyone." Derek said

"I refuse to believe it, there has to be another way, Stiles always said love was the most powerful of all emotions, what about his love for Danny, perhaps we can use that to force this demon to feel his humanity again." Scott was frantic in his speech.

"Scott, if Stiles were to give up his love for Danny, it would leave a huge void within him, it would be a fate worse than death." Jackson said

"You, do not get to choose my fate." Stiles said walking into the room, Danny in toe.

"Stiles, I will not let you do this." Scott pleaded.

"I have a solution Scott, Danny and I share exactly the same bond that the three of you share, we are mated, we performed it on the last full moon while you were all asleep, and you said yourself the mating bond cannot be broken unless death was to occur. If I was to give up my love to the demon, and the entire pack was to link onto that one emotion, we could force him to feel again, and after we do that it's only a matter of making him remember his name." Stiles said.

"Stiles what if it changes you, I cannot lose you, and nay I will not lose you, not to a monster such as the Kantheon." Scott pleaded.

"What he says is true Scott!" Derek said, "The mating bond cannot be broken, if Stiles give up his love to the Kantheon the moment the demon dies the love shall return to its rightful place. It's like when Adrian killed Jackson, all that time ago, Jackson's love and power worked its way to Danny and the moment Jackson's life was restored the love and power returned. No force on this earth can break loves hold on someone, that is what the mating bond is, Love!"

"Scott, nothing will ever tear me away from you, do you remember the promise we made to each other back when my mum died?" Stiles asked.

Scott nodded his head a lone tear rolling down the side of his face.

"We promised that we would always be together, and that nothing would ever tear us apart, we would be friends until the day we died and no matter what happened between us nothing will change." Stiles added. "Well Scott, this demon is not going to come between us, I promise you that."

A tear fell from Stiles eye running down his cheek, Scott reached out and caught it as it fell from his chin.

"I hope your right Stiles, because without you my life would not be worth living, without you I would not be the man err, wolf I am today, and I cannot survive this without you." Scott said before embracing him in a tight hug.

Lydia entered the room, and stared at the site before her and smiled.

Scott and Stiles broke apart and they smiled at one and other as a few tears rolled down each other's faces.

Derek turned to Jackson and took him by the hand and led him from the room out the back door, unnoticed by anyone else. Derek took Jackson's hand and they walked away from the house.

"Where are we going?" Jackson asked.

"I need to tell you something, but I cannot risk any of the pack hearing this." Derek answered as they continued to walk away from the house.

Once Derek deemed they were far enough away he let go of Jacksons hand and turned to face him.

"What I am about to say Jackson, you cannot tell the rest of the pack, if you do it will completely ruin the plan of attack I have for the Kantheon." Derek spoke softly, what he was saying was going to dramatically impact the dynamic of their pack.

"You sound like you're going to have to kill one of us!" Jackson spoke.

"In theory I do, when Stiles transfers his emotions into the Kantheon, as long as Stiles live the emotions won't fully be able to impact the Kantheon, I will have to rip Stiles heart out and essentially kill him so we can stop the Kantheon." Derek started, "and I know that in doing this to say Scott would be unhappy would be an impressive understatement, which is why I need you to use our bond with him to hold him while I do it."

"I don't like this Derek!" Jackson started

"I don't have any other option Jacks, the mating bond cannot be broken, the mating bond will pull Stiles emotions back to him every time he tries to push them into the Kantheon, which is why the moment he gives up his emotions I have to rip his heart from his chest.

Scott, Derek and Jackson were all sitting together on the sofa their arms wrapped around each other, they found that when times were dark to sit in the comfort of each other gave them the strength they needed to overcome the obstacles that stood before them. The rest of the pack were sprawled out across the sitting room, having the whole pack present gave them all the strength they needed to get through this dark night.

"When will things be normal, were I don't have to wake up in the morning and fight for our lives, we're having a child together, I cannot bring them into this world knowing that its whole life is going to be filled with running away and constant death?" Scott asked breaking the silence that had fallen on the room.

"I promise that as soon as we take care of the Kantheon, and we get married I will take the three of us on a vacation away from everything for a week, no distractions just the three of us." Derek said.

"How can you promise me this Derek, what happens if we take down the Kantheon and another demon rises in its place or something worse." Scott pleads.

"You're going to have to have faith Scott, believe that things will be better. Now I think it's time we all get to bed, tomorrow is going to be a big day." Derek said.

As the pack awoke the next morning, they all felt the looming sense of dread that was hanging in the air, the sun was not shining, and it was hidden behind large black clouds. Jackson, Scott and Derek lay in their bed together; the togetherness was something they needed at this moment. Jackson opened the blinds above the bed and let the sunlight stream in he felt the power inside of him expand, it could be felt crackling through the air like electricity. Jackson flicked his wrist and opened the window, the trees around the house, the earth and the wind making Derek's power crackle and burn, together Derek and Jackson looked towards the clouds in the sky and brought about a rain cloud while still leaving the sun visible, Scott's power added to the mix the power in the air was intoxicating and dangerous. The pack opened the door of the bedroom sensing the overwhelming amount of power surging through the house. The all left realising what was happening allowing their alphas the privacy they needed to get dressed.

It wasn't long after breakfast that the pack sensed the danger they had been dreading. The Kantheon had arrived! The earth and sky around the house began to blacken even with their magic holding the sun in place the earth around them turned black and dead, the only bush to remain untouched was the shrub of the Hale family, the rain continued to fall as the pack made their way outside to face the Kantheon.

"The time has come at last, Hale pack for me to crush the last hope of your pathetic world and cleanse this earth of the profanity that is the human race." The Kantheon spoke, the very earth on which they stood shaking under the power of its voice.

"You will not beat us, for you lack heart and without it you cannot hope to defeat us." Stiles yelled.

The Kantheon gave an evil smirk before raising a hand towards them.

"NOW!" Scott yelled.

Lydia stepped forward from the rest of the pack protected by a magical force field that Danny was holding up.

"Your name is Alvalon Vichino Dwemare, and you will remember your humanity!" Lydia screamed at the Kantheon putting all the magic inside of her into the words.

The Kantheon was bound where it stood with its name, however it would not last long.

Scott, Derek and Jackson stood by Stiles.

"It is time" Danny said.

Scott, Jackson and Derek joined hands.

"Genim Stilinski, with the power of three we call forth your emotions, your heart and your love to destroy this vial creature, do you willingly give this up for the good of mankind." Derek, Jackson and Scott asked their voices and minds linked as one as they spoke together.

"I do so give to you my emotions, my heart and my love to save this world from the Kantheon!" Stiles replied.

Danny felt his power weaken as a cloud of golden smoke poured from Stiles mouth before he collapsed to the ground his eyes empty and white, the power began to head towards the Kantheon having reached half way it stopped and began to return towards Stiles.

"Now Jackson!" Derek yelled.

Jackson felt the sunlight rush through him as he raised his hands at Scott. Scott felt his body freeze, he could not move, he could do nothing. Nothing but watch the scene that was unfolding in front of him. Derek grabbed Stiles by the back of his neck and turned him over so that he was facing up towards the sun.

"I'm sorry Scott it was the only way." Derek sobbed.

"What are you doing Derek?" Danny yelled.

Derek unsheathed his claws and drove his hand through Stiles chest and ripped out his heart his eyes burning bright red as he used all his magic to make it painless for Stiles. Danny screamed in pain as his magic exploded around him, his wolf fighting to bring revenge for his mate even against his own Alpha. Derek used his own power to subdue Danny and put him to rest. Stiles emotions made their way towards the Kantheon they embedded themselves deep within its twisted soul. The darkness that surrounded them began to fade and the earth began to regrow as its power was weakened, the Kantheon returning to its human state, powerless as Stiles' emotions brought back its humanity. Erica drew a dagger from the strap around her thigh and drove it into the Kantheon's heart, Alison shot an arrow through its heart tipped with Devils spirit designed to destroy a demon from within. Jackson released his hold over Scott and ran to Derek to finish the Kantheon once and for all.

"Scott, quickly we have to finish this before it's too late." Jackson said.

Scott took the two steps needed to reach Stile's deceased body before he fell to his knees.

"What have you done?" Scott pleaded with Derek.


A/N – OMG, I am so sorry to whoever still reads this, it has been so freaking long since I updated and if anyone out there in fandom universe still reads this I hope you enjoy the new chapter. I really don't have an explanation as to why it took so long to get this chapter out other than I was having an early life crisis trying to decide what I was going to do with my life now that I have finished at Tafe. I am now studying at Southern Cross University in a Bachelor Degree of Information Technology – Majoring in Interactive Multimedia. I can't give you any promises as to when the next chapter will be out but I hope I can get it to you in a shorter period of time than it took me to get this one to you.

So yeah, until next time. Reviews are appreciated by not essential. :-)
