Hi! I hope you like the story! I really love writing it and I love the reviews I'm getting, so thank you for that!

A little warning for this chapter, there is some violence and a itty bitty smut. It's really just a small part. But if it's not your thing you should stop reading at ''When Harry wakes up, he feels a little hot...'' and you can continue after ''I want to wake up more often like that,''

Enjoy!

'So how are we going to do this?'' Stiles asks when they are on their way to Isaac, Erica, and Boyd, who have found Jackson at the Jungle being Kanima-i? Is that a word? Stiles isn't sure.

''We lock him in a mountain ash circle, and then I talk to him,'' Harry says confidently.

''I don't like it. How often do your plans actually work?'' Stiles asks with narrowed eyes.

Harry glares at him before huffing in defeat.

''You've been talking with Hermione.'' He grumbles.

''Of course, I've been talking to Hermione. I recognize a queen everywhere. If she would tell me your plans are mostly shit, I believe that. If she tells me that your plans work, I believe that too. But you probably already know what she said.'' Stiles says with a smirk.

''I resent that. I'm your boyfriend you should pick my side. Derek, it's unfair, do something.'' Harry says with a pout, but Stiles and Derek know that he is joking.

''I wish I could say anything, but my plans are even more shit.'' Derek deadpans, making Stiles laugh.

''Yessir, they are. So you two are going to listen to me. How I would love to see Jackson be defeated and maybe never stand up again, we need to transform him back to a human boy. Any ideas how to do that?'' Stiles looks between Harry and Derek, both are thinking.

''I could try to use a spell to force someone out of their animagus form. Maybe it works on Jackson so he can shift back.'' Harry tells them.

''That's a good one. We keep that one. You should try that as soon as he is a lizard brain. Derek, any input?''

''I could try to roar at him, try to get him to submit.''

''Mmh, good idea, but I don't think that will work. He is a shifter but not a wolf. He will not recognize your Alpha hood. I don't want to risk it and have you paralyzed again.''

Derek nods because that sounds fair. Claws and roaring aren't going to work on the Kanima.

''Okay, we need mountain ash so we can trap him. Where can we find some?''

''Deaton, he is a druid. He will have that on stock.'' Derek chimes in.

''Okay, I will ask Allison and Scott to pick it up before they come to the Jungle,'' Stiles says while already typing a message to his best friend and a backup one to Allison. Stiles knows how distracted Scott can get if Allison is in the near vicinity.

Just a minute later, he gets a check from Allison.

''Mountain ash is check, now Harry, you said something about talking to the Kanima. Or Jackass in this case. We know the creature will have a master. The Master has forced Jackass to kill, so the Master is a more critical threat. We need to know who it is. And maybe because you can communicate with Jackass, he will tell you and hopefully shift alliances. I do get a little BDSM vibe now.'' Stiles says with a frown, his mind already going three other directions.

''You want to make me the Master? And yes, it does.'' Harry asks with a grimace. And no, Stiles, he isn't whining. Jackson is just a real pain in the ass when he is a regular guy.

They stop in front of the Jungle, and Stiles grimaces at his clothes for the night. Not that he needs any attention from other people, but maybe he should buy some new clothes. He suppresses a shiver when he can already guess how Lydia will dictate his new wardrobe if he says something about it.

Erica is waiting outside, and she rushes over when she sees them.

''Boyd and Isaac have him inside, he only changed his eyes for a moment, but we know that it is the creature. He is not listening to anything we tell him. It's like he is in some kind of trance. It's pretty freaky.'' She explains.

''We need to wait for Scott and Allison. As soon as they are here, we can trap him. Harry, you know how to work with the stuff, right?'' Derek asks while checking how long it would take for Scott and Allison to show up.

''Yeah, but Stiles is better with it. So he should probably use it to trap Jackass, sorry Jackson.''

Stiles smiled when Harry slipped up. He feels way too smug about it. He doesn't really hate Jackson, but the asshole has bullied him for years. To call him Jackass while saving his life is just a tiny victory.

''Okay, we will distract him and get him alone outside before Stiles will trap him in a circle, then Harry will talk to the Kanima, and if it doesn't work, Harry will try a spell to force him back into his human form, if he has shifted at all,'' Derek says before getting nods in return. He asks Erica to quickly text the plan to Boyd and Isaac inside so they are up to date too.

Scott just pulls up to the curb with Allison, and after a brief explanation of the plan they're on board. Allison gives Stiles the mountain ash and he can feel it tingle through his core. He doesn't know why he has this affinity with it, but it feels good to use it.

''Allison and I will keep our distance for back up, but we will try not to be seen.''

''Don't play hookey, because if you don't answer when I call, I will spell you to turn into a real puppy for at least a month.'' Stiles threatens. Scott gives him a bashful smile, but Stiles still turns to Allison.

''I promise Stiles, we will not be distracted.''

Scott is pouting, but Stiles doesn't care. He trusts Allison to do the right thing here.

''Let's go inside,'' Derek says, but Harry stops him. He then waves his hands over Stiles and himself. Their clothes transform into something more acceptable for a gay club. Derek frowns before looking at his own clothes.

''Why didn't you change mine?''

''You already look hot enough. I'm not going to make it worse.'' Harry says while leveling Derek with a look until he looks away, blushing. Stiles snorts because he agrees with Harry. Derek doesn't have to look any hotter. He will get enough attention already.

They get inside with a simple confundus spell from Harry, and Stiles probably should feel conflicted by spelling muggles, but he doesn't. It's convenient as fuck.

The music is pumping loud through the speakers, and when Stiles looks around the dance floor, he sees two eyes flash golden. They immediately walk that way and spot Isaac grinding with a guy, but he watches Jackson just a couple of feet away.

Boyd is standing just outside of the dancefloor, eyes also on Jackson while his arms are crossed. Jackson doesn't seem to notice any of this. He is dancing on the floor, but Stiles can see that his eyes are flickering between their regular blue and snake-like orange. It gives him chills.

He feels two hands settle on his hips, and when he turns his head, he sees that Harry is settled behind him, trying to blend in with the crowd. Derek is watching from a couple of feet away, but he seems to approve. He glares at anyone that comes too close to him, making Stiles chuckle.

Stiles leans back against Harry and starts to sway his hips a little, feeling embarrassed for a moment because he doesn't have a dancing bone in his body.

But he feels Harry move with him, and Harry plants a couple of kisses on Stiles's neck, making the embarrassment slide away from him real fast.

''Any ideas how to get Jackson away from the dancefloor?'' Harry whispers in Stiles's ear.

''I want to try something, but you're not going to like it.'' He whispers back.

Harry shifts his head to look at Derek, and when Stiles follows his example, he sees that Derek is glaring at them. He obviously heard them.

''Calm down, Sourwolf. I will get him outside.'' Stiles says maintaining eye contact with the Alpha. He sees Derek reluctantly nod, and Stiles shifts out of Harry's embrace. He guides Harry to Derek before he walks to Jackson.

He almost feels the glares at the back of his head, but if Stiles is right, Jackson will not even know it's Stiles.

He comes up behind Jackson and places his hands on his hips, just barely containing a shiver. He can't even believe he is doing this. He makes a face, and he sees Isaac hides his laughter in the dude's neck he's dancing with.

Jackson doesn't shake him off but even leans into Stiles's touch. Stiles glances at Derek and Harry, and Harry is leaning against Derek while Derek has his arms around Harry's middle. They are both watching intently what Stiles exactly is doing.

Stiles doesn't know why, but he feels a little empowered with how intensely they are watching him. He winks at them with a smirk before he is dancing with Jackson. They stay there for a couple of songs until Stiles turns Jackson around. His eyes are yellow and looking absolutely scary. Stiles swallows and grips Jackson's wrist before pulling him with him.

He doesn't know if it is a good sign that Jackson just follows obediently. Stiles knows that Derek, Harry, Isaac, and Boyd are following a couple of minutes behind him to not raise suspicion. He sees the emergency exit and guides Jackson through the door.

Stiles really doesn't like it that Jackson is so out of it. Especially not when Jackson tenses and starts to hiss as soon as they outside the door in the alley.

He turns around with supernatural speed, and Stiles doesn't even have the time to reach for his wand before he is thrown back against the door he just came through.

He tries to get up, but there is a giant lizard in front of him.

''Motherfucker.'' Stiles groans in pain. He hopes that the pack is just on the other side of the door and tries to stand up. He thinks he hears someone hit the door, but he focuses on the Jackson, or rather the Kanima.

He feels the mountain ash in his pockets, and just before he wants to will it out of there and around Jackson, he hears a roar somewhere to the north. It isn't Derek, but he recognizes the sound immediately. It's Scott, fuck! Scott is in danger, and Stiles can't bolt out of here without risking his own life.

''Jackson-'' Stiles tries, but he is interrupted by a loud hiss.

''Okay, fine, I know you don't like me, but you don't have to kill me,'' Stiles says, trying for a light conversation while walking slowly away from the door so the wolves can burst through it when they can.

Jackson is following his every move, hissing and getting ready to pounce.

''Listen, we just want to help,'' Stiles states calmly, he can almost feel his heart beating out of its chest, but he tries to keep his voice even.

He knows that Derek and Harry are about to burst out and help him, but his mind is also nagging to save Scott.

Stiles feels something trickle down his spine, and he is afraid that its blood. The hit he took at the wall was pretty hard.

Jackson moves towards him in a fluent movement. Stiles can't stop him on time and is plowed over by a three-hundred-pound lizard. His mind flashes for a moment that he is going to die, that the Master has ordered to kill Stiles. But then he hears guns firing. The place he was standing against the wall just moments ago is now getting hit with at least twenty rounds of bullets. He tries to shield his head and also to shield Jackass Jackson, but the creature doesn't budge. It does keep hissing at the mystery shooter. Stiles quickly wiggles his wand out of its holster and puts up a shielding charm.

The creature is confused for a moment before climbing the wall quickly and disappearing. Stiles is still shocked that Jackson just shielded him. Does this mean that the Kanima has some kind of conscience? That Jackson was in control for a moment? He doesn't know and doesn't have the time to find out now. He holds up the shield before bolting out of the alley, hoping that he is running towards Scott.

It was about three minutes since he walked out of the club with Jackson. He only hopes that Harry, Derek, Isaac, and Boyd are safe. Because he just knows that the guys that were shooting at him are hunters.

He is still running when he almost crashes into Derek. Derek holds him up and drags him behind a wall. A volley of bullets crash into the wall he was just pulled behind.

Derek starts to pat Stiles down as quickly as possible, checking for injuries before kissing Stiles senseless.

Not that Stiles is complaining, but now is really not the right time.

''What happened?'' Derek demands as soon as he pulls away. And Stiles needs to reboot his brain for a moment because he loves Derek's kisses.

''Jackson turned Kanima as soon as we walked out. Just before I wanted to trap him, hunters started to shoot at us. He-he shielded me until I pulled up a shielding charm, then he ran away. Well climbed away, but you know what I mean.'' Stiles says, a little breathless from the running and the kiss.

''You idiot, you just walked out of the exit. When we tried to follow, it was as if the door was blocked. We thought you spelled the door shut and used mountain ash, so we couldn't follow. I ran out through the other door as soon as I heard the shooting start.'' Derek snaps.

''Why the fuck would I do that?'' Stiles says, getting angry now.

Derek deflates for a moment and looks contrite.

''I now know you wouldn't do that, but we didn't realize hunters were involved. I was afraid you got hurt. I nearly wolfed out in the middle of the club.''

''We are a pack, Derek. I would never just block you from helping me. I was practically praying for you to come through the door as soon as Jackson turned Kanima. Now, we don't have time for this bullshit. I heard Scott. He is in trouble.'' Stiles snaps, still angry that they would even think that he wanted to play hero and take on the creature alone.

The only reason he can even think off to block the pack out is to make sure they wouldn't get hurt. But he knows that Harry and Derek would go out of their minds if he pulled that.

Derek follows Stiles quickly, the shooting has stopped for the moment, and they run quietly towards where Derek can smell Scott.

''Where are the others?'' Stiles finally asks when they near Scott's location.

''They met with Erica, she howled as soon as we were outside. I don't know their status.''

''This was one whole trap. But I don't know if it was planned for us.''

''Erica, Scott, and you were attacked. Why wouldn't it be planned for us?''

''I think that mine was planned for the Kanima. The others, I'm not sure.''

He just has a gut feeling that it wasn't to capture or kill the pack, not as a whole. They walk into a building, and Derek immediately starts to cough.

''Wolfsbane, it's everywhere in the air.'' He coughs while trying to breathe as little as possible.

''Get the fuck out! I will find Scott and Allison!'' Stiles stressed and pushed Derek through the door outside.

When the door is closed, and he locks it behind Derek so he can't come in again, he turns to look where he is.

''Scott!?''

Nothing in response. It makes Stiles's skin crawl with uneasiness. He walks with his wand at the ready towards the other room. He now can see a purple gas in the room. He pulls his shirt over his nose, not sure if it's safe for him to inhale this shit.

''Scott?!''

A pitty full whine is heard from behind a couple of boxes. He quickly walks over and sees Scott lying on the floor, curled into a ball. His skin is red, irritated by the Wolfsbane. Stiles can hear him take rattling breaths. He quickly spells a bubblehead charm around Scott's head, hoping that he got the spell right and hoping that he isn't going to register at the Ministry for underage magic use. The charm seems to be okay enough, and Scott takes a couple of deep breaths before opening his eyes. He gives Stiles a small smile, and Stiles helps him up from the ground.

''Where is Allison?'' Stiles asks.

''Her mom-'' A cough takes Scott by surprise for a moment, and he is wincing from the pain. ''-her mom did this. Allison pleaded with her to - to let me go, but she wouldn't listen. She wanted to kill me and lose control so Allison could see what kind of monster I am. When I couldn't fight back, she held me at bullet point, but Allison pleaded with her, and her mom let me go, saying I would be dead soon anyway. Then she took Allison with her.'' Scott admits with a grave voice.

''Shit, that's so fucked up.''

Scott just nods, Stiles opens the door of the building, and Derek launches himself at them. He takes Scott's weight and helps him to the other side of the alley, so they aren't close to the building with Wolfsbane anymore.

''Did you hear from the others?'' Stiles asks Derek, and he shakes his head in response.

''Fuck.'' Stiles says before he gets out his phone and dials Harry.

''Are you alright!?'' Is the first thing he hears when Harry answers. He lets out a relieved sigh before answering.

''I'm fine. Scott is fine now too, Allison is taken by her crazy hunter mom, and Derek is in the doghouse.'' Stiles replies, ignoring Derek's glare.

''Thank Godric. We lost the Kanima. Erica howled when she saw it escape over the roof. We did find a body, but the guy was killed with a bullet, not by a creature.'' Harry says simply. Not even responding to the fact that Derek is in the doghouse.

''Do we know who it is?'' Stiles asks with a frown.

''According to Isaac, Erica, and Boyd, it's some guy named Matt Dahler? I don't know him, but he went to school with us according to them.''

''Oh, yeah, he is a total creep, but, wait, a bullet? Is it a Wolfsbane bullet?''

Stiles's mind is already spinning into ideas as to why Matt was killed, and one idea is standing out.

''Yeah it's Wolfsbane. But he isn't a wolf.'' Harry confirms just after a couple of moments.

''No, but that means hunters killed him. So why would hunters kill a teenage boy?'' Stiles asks while pacing and thinking.

''He isn't a creature,'' Harry says.

''No, I didn't think he was. But what if he was the Kanima's Master? He and Jackson did hang out sometimes. I saw him with Jackson the last couple of weeks. If the hunters now killed his Master, one of them would become the Master, which is all kinds of fucked up. Because they can send the Kanima after the pack.'' Stiles rants he sees Scott and Derek staring at him with wide eyes. Thank Salazar that Scott is healing. And now he is talking like a wizard. Just great.

Derek's head swivels around, and before Stiles can ask what's wrong, he simply states, ''The police are coming.''

Stiles groans in response.

''Harry, get out of there with the betas, the police are on their way, and you shouldn't be seen with the body. We will meet you at home.''

''Sure, stay safe,'' Harry says before ending the call.

''Can you walk?'' Stiles then asks Scott, ignoring Derek for the moment. He is still mad that Derek thought that Stiles just locked them out.

''Yeah, but what are we going to do about Allison?'' He says like the lost puppy he is.

Stiles lets out a big sigh.

''We will help her, but you need to lay low for a while. We don't want another assassination attempt by your inlaws.''

Scott groans but gets to his feet with a little help from Derek.

''Stiles-''

''Nope, you're still in the doghouse. I'm not going to listen to you right now.''

''Stiles-''

''I said no,'' Stiles snaps while walking faster back to the car.

He is suddenly grabbed by his wrist and turned around.

''Stiles, I'm sorry, I was just fucking worried that you were hurt and that I wasn't going to be on time to help you,'' Derek says desperately. And the main reason Stiles didn't want to look at Derek just now was because of the devastating look he is leveling Stiles with.

Stiles frowns for a moment before heaving out a big sigh.

''I need you to trust me, big guy. I can't do this alone, but you can't either.''

''I do trust you!'' Derek all but roars.

''No, you don't. Otherwise, you wouldn't have doubted me that I locked you out!'' Stiles yells back, panting from the adrenaline that is leaving his body now. He thinks that everything happened within an hour, but it feels like a whole day. He is exhausted and hurt that his boyfriend doesn't trust him. They are glaring at each other, both not standing down.

''Guys?'' Scott says to break the tension that is simmering between Derek and Stiles.

Derek deflates and cups Stiles's cheek, Stiles wishes he could push him away, but he can't. He isn't strong enough, and he was really fucking scared back in the alley and the warehouse before finding Scott. He's running on fumes now, and he just wants to hide in Derek's safe embrace.

''I'm sorry, I should never have doubted you. But please don't think I don't trust you. You're one of the most important people in my life, Stiles.'' Derek whispers before putting his forehead against Stiles's.

Stiles is weak. He can't stay mad at Derek if he is like this. He never thought that Derek would be like this, but Derek is getting better and shows his emotions now. Stiles pulls him in and gives Derek a reassuring kiss.

He leans into Derek's embrace before pulling back and taking Derek's hand.

''Come on, Sourwolf, you owe me comfort food and cuddles.''

Derek gives him a soft smile before they quickly leave the district of the Jungle and warehouses.

''Jackass Jackson saved you from the hunters?'' Scott asks incredulously when everybody is inside the packhouse, and Stiles explained what happened. Stiles is also still nibbling on some Reeses that Derek had in the packhouse. Score!

''Yeah, he just pulled me out of the way and pressed me against the ground. I would have been hit with at least ten bullets if he hadn't done that. But we don't need to tell him that. He doesn't need a bigger ego.'' Stiles says with a grimace when Harry is almost done with healing the wound on his head.

Harry is frowning and pulls Stiles a little closer to him as soon as he is finished with the healing. He feels Derek shifting too as if they both want to shield Stiles from everything outside. Stiles lets out an exploding sigh when he feels what his boyfriends are doing. Harry doesn't feel guilty. He just wants them both safe.

''Guys, we know that it would be dangerous, but stop coddling me.'' He says before glaring at Harry and Derek.

They both pull away before Stiles stops them.

''No, no, no, I said stop coddling me, not stop cuddling me,'' Stiles says before relaxing back into the couch with Harry and Derek's arms still around his shoulders.

''You're so weird,'' Harry says with a fond smile.

''Don't care, I'm tired,'' Stiles says, and he is already closing his eyes.

''Go to sleep. I will call your father.'' Derek says softly before standing and pulling out his phone.

''You all can stay, the contractor has already built the extra rooms, and Hermione and Lydia went shopping today, so they are clean and decorated,'' Harry says to the rest of the pack, who also look exhausted.

''What kind of contractor can build six rooms in one day?'' Scott asks with wide eyes.

''The magical kind,'' Harry says with a wink.

He hears Scott grumble something like 'freaking magic,' but the betas all leave the living room to explore the new rooms and hopefully go to sleep.

Stiles turns to Harry and blinks open his eyes.

''Hey, you and Derek good again?'' He softly asks, not wanting any wolf ears to listen in.

''Yeah, he was an ass, but he apologized. You can't stay mad at those puppy eyes.''

''Mmh, no, you can't. You are pretty dangerous with those too.''

''Am not, I'm not even a puppy,'' Stiles says with a hand to his chest to play dramatically.

Harry rolls his eyes.

''Derek isn't either. They're wolves.''

''Puppies,'' Stiles says with a stubborn tilt to his chin.

''I do wonder what your animagus form would be.'' Harry then muses. He had talked with Hermione about wanting to be an animagus, but they haven't started to train for it.

''Animagus? I've read about those. That's a wizard that can change into an animal, right?''

''Yes, my father, godfather, and their 'friend' were animagi. To help Remus actually during the full moon. They would distract him so he wouldn't hurt himself.''

''What kind of animals?''

''My dad was a stag, my godfather a grim, and Peter was a rat. Seriously, it should have given them a red flag or something.'' Harry grumbles, still disturbed by reminders of Peter.

''You don't see the bad in people you love,'' Stiles says simply. Harry looks at him and sees the sincerity in it.

Derek then walks back into the room with a grim face.

''No, you don't.'' He says in a soft voice. Clearly have heard what Stiles's had said. Stiles flinches when being reminded of Kate.

''What kind of animal would you be?'' Stiles asks Harry to break a little of the tension.

''I think a stag, that's what my Patronus is, but I hope something else. I'm not sure. I still need to start the meditation to find out.'' Harry muses.

''What do you hope for?'' Derek suddenly asks.

''Some animal that can fly, or something like a wolf. It would be nice to run with the pack during the full moons.'' Harry says with a smile. Derek looks hopeful like he wants nothing more than Harry and Stiles to join them during the full moon runs. They only just had one with the whole pack, but the wizards stayed in. Not wanting to slow the pack down.

''I think I would be a fox.'' Stiles simply says.

''You could try with me to become an Animagus.''

''I would love that! Do you think that I can? I'm still nowhere as far as you with magic.''

''You are learning really fast. I think Hermione is jealous of how fast you are learning. You even cast a successful bubblehead charm today. Something that would normally be taught in seventh year at Hogwarts.''

''Seriously? Damn, that is awesome. Yeah! We should totally start with becoming animagus. It would be awesome to just turn into an animal during a fight and surprise the hell out of a big bad.'' Stiles says gleefully.

Harry and Derek laugh at Stiles's enthusiastic response before they go to Harry's bedroom.

Derek and Stiles are both hovering like they aren't sure what to do if they want to go inside or not.

''Come in, sleep with me,'' Harry then freezes on the spot with a beet-red head.

''You know what I mean.'' He rushes out, not making eye contact with them. He hears Stiles snort out a laugh, the arsehole.

Derek goes back to his room for something to sleep in, and Stiles picks something from Harry's wardrobe.

Harry crawls into the bed first, quickly followed by Stiles, and soon after, Derek joins them. Harry is lying in the middle, and it's a little awkward until Stiles shifts and plants his head on Harry's shoulder. He puts his arm over Harry's stomach and makes a grabby hand towards Derek.

''Der, you're not close enough.'' He says, already sounding a little sleepy. Harry finds it endearing that Stiles is so comfortable with them both that he is already falling asleep.

Derek huffs out a soft laugh before shuffling closer. Stiles lets out a content sigh when he can place his hand on Derek's hip. Derek, in the meantime, puts his hand on Harry's heart, and Harry turns to him, already hearing Stiles's soft snores. It's pretty amazing really, Stiles either can't sleep at all, or he falls asleep within seconds.

''Hi,'' He says softly when he sees that Derek is watching him.

''Hey,''

''Are you okay?''

Derek just shrugs a little, making Harry frown at him.

''I will be. I just hate it when he gets hurt.'' Derek admits in a whisper.

''You know you can't stop him. Or me for that matter, and I've been through a whole lot worse.''

Derek lets out a soft growl at that. Harry feels himself fill with warmth when he feels through the pack bond that Derek wants to protect him.

''We want to protect you too. We all want that. You're our Alpha .''

Derek's eyes flash red at that, and Harry just leans in and kisses Derek because he likes the way Derek wants to protect him.

''You two really should stop calling me Alpha,'' Derek whispers against Harry's lips.

Harry frowns at that statement and pulls back a little to look into Derek's eyes.

''I thought you liked it.''

Derek smirks before responding.

''I like it, just a little too much.'' He whispers.

''Oh, you shouldn't have told me that. I'm going to take advantage of that so hard.'' Harry says with a smirk.

Derek twists his face into the pillow and groans, clearly affected by Harry. And Harry feels a little smug by it and chuckles before he puts his hand on Derek's and closes his eyes before drifting to sleep.

When Harry wakes up, he feels a little hot and also that he is incredibly hard. He is lying on his side with Stiles's face mashed against his chest. Derek is behind him with his arms over Harry's side and his hand pressed against Stiles's back.

Harry is sandwiched in between. He tries to make some room for himself, but he feels that he isn't the only one affected by sleeping together as soon as he presses backward.

He bites back a groan when he feels Derek even shift closer. Then Stiles starts to wake up.

''M'rning,'' He says with a sleepy smile before kissing Harry softly. Harry melts into the kiss.

Stiles shuffles a little closer and gasps when he feels Harry's excitement. He doesn't doubt when he grasps Harry's hip and creates sinful friction between them, making Harry moan.

Harry feels that Derek is now too waking up. For a moment, he feels Derek freeze behind him, but then he takes a deep inhale through his nose and moans from the scents that assault him in the early morning.

Derek then presses closer to Harry's back and starts kissing his neck. Harry is stimulated from both sides and feels his orgasm getting close real fast. He roams his hands over Stiles, stopping at Stiles's ass, pulling him even closer to get just the right friction. He squeezes Stiles's ass making him groan and pant.

''Fuck, I - I'm going to-'' Stiles starts before he lets out a pornographic moan and bucks his hips against Harry, riding out his orgasm while pushing Harry and Derek over the edge like a domino effect.

''I want to wake up more often like that,'' Stiles says with a grin on his face.

Harry snorts, and Derek huffs out a laugh against Harry's neck. Harry was afraid that it would be awkward when they first would do something like this, but there was no awkwardness at all. They slowly start to get out of bed, all three not wanting to ruin the relaxed atmosphere because they just know that today will be a bitch.

Peter just came back, so that will be new. They need to help Lydia with her powers of a Banshee, they need to figure out a way to change Jackson back, they also need to find the Master of the Kanima and eliminate him because a hunter that's the Master of the Kanima is not a good thing at all. And they need to help Allison so she will not be sucked and bullied into the hunter's life.

When Harry thinks about it just fits right in his life. His life had been chaotic since he turned eleven, even before that. He is lost in thought for a moment until he feels a hand cup his cheek.

''Hey, you with us?'' Derek says with a smile, and Derek really should smile more. He is already on his way, now with a stable pack and surrounded by family, but Harry knows how difficult it is to let the past rest.

''Yes, just thinking about how my life is a hot mess,'' Harry responds with a smile.

''You're a hot mess. It fits the bill.'' Stiles declares from somewhere in Harry's closet. When he walks out and sees Harry's and Derek's stoic faces, he scrunches up his nose.

''Not funny?'' He says while rubbing the back of his neck, a little awkward and blushing.

Derek couldn't contain his stoic face and laughed first, making Harry smack him on the shoulder in annoyance before also laughing at Stiles's sour face.

They then quickly went downstairs for some breakfast. The rest of the pack was not up yet. Only Hermione was sipping tea and reading a thick book.

''Mione! Harry said that I could try to be Animagus with you. When do you want to start?'' Stiles asked while bounding into the kitchen and reading with Hermione over her shoulder.

Stiles already has something with nicknames, so it wasn't weird that he started calling Hermione Mione just like Harry did.

''Oh! Yes! I want to start as soon as possible. I want to be prepared if something happens.'' Hermione enthusiastically responded, making Stiles beam at her.

''We could start today?'' Harry proposed he would love to delay all the shit they should be doing.

Hermione turned to glare at Harry, making him feel like an eleven-year-old boy again. How Hermione had the 'mom' stare was beyond him.

''We need to prepare! You could start with the meditation technique, but further, we should really do our research.''

''We could ask McGonagall,'' Harry sneakily proposed, already knowing that Hermione adored McGonagall and would jump on the opportunity to ask for her help.

Hermione positively beamed at Harry.

''That is a great idea, Harry! I'm going to write her right now!'' She said before walking out of the kitchen, her book following behind her, making Stiles pout because he wanted to read more of it.

Peter then sauntered into the kitchen, making Stiles freeze for a moment before he gradually relaxed. As if he needed to remind himself that Peter wasn't a threat anymore.

''Good morning. I hope you have slept well? I slept like the dead, well, not the actual dead, because I'm alive again.'' He said casually while making himself some coffee.

Harry raised his eyebrows at the man, and Harry couldn't help but think that Peter was very sensitive toward magic. Because he immediately ducked his head as if acknowledging Harry's power. Huh, interesting.

Derek walked towards Peter, and scent marked him for a moment.

''Peter, how are you feeling today?'' Harry asked politely when he started to cook breakfast.

''Fine, I'm feeling better than I have in more than six years.''

Harry started to scramble some eggs and cooking some bacon. Stiles was now seated next to Peter, practically inhaling his coffee. Derek started to help Harry at the stove, clearly not comfortable to talk right now. Harry turned to Stiles and made a gesture that he should start talking. Stiles frowned for a moment before finally understanding what Harry was mimicking with his face.

''That's good to hear, Zombiewolf. I have a couple of questions, do you mind?''

''Stiles, I would never turn you down for a couple of questions,'' Peter said in a way that sounded a little too suggestive.

''You're not over the fact that I turned your bite down, are you?'' Stiles said with a smirk.

Peter placed a hand on his chest as if insulted.

''You turned me down, but you accepted my nephew's bite just like that-'' He said with a snap of his fingers to emphasize. ''-That hurts someone's feelings, Stiles.'' Peter purred. Harry couldn't call it anything else.

Harry frowned and wanted to turn around to give Peter a piece of his mind, but Stiles snorted and started to laugh.

''Oh, please, you don't mean that for shit. And Derek has better assets than you. Like you know, his ass.'' Stiles said, and Harry just could imagine the waggle of his eyebrows.

Harry started to laugh, and he could feel Derek's embarrassment through the bond before he even saw the blush on his cheeks, but Derek also had a small smile on his face, as if he couldn't really believe that he was now in a relationship with Stiles and Harry.

''I like you, Stiles. I think you're my favorite of the bunch.'' Peter said with a wink.

''Good, then I'm going to fire questions at you as long as I wish,'' Stiles said.

Harry and Derek were just finished with breakfast and put everything on the table before taking a seat. Hermione came back from where ever she had been writing the letter to McGonagall and was reading while eating.

''Peter, you already told us about the Kanima, do you also know how to stop it? And how can we find out who is the Master? Can everybody turn into a Kanima? What happens if the Kanima kills an Alpha? The Kanima is venomous and can paralyze people, is there an antidote? We now know who it is. Do you think he knows who he is when he is in his Kanima form? Do you-'' Stiles rattles question after question.

''Okay, I'm going to stop you there,'' Peter said with wide eyes, making Derek and Harry chuckle. Hermione was too engrossed in her book, and Stiles looked a little affronted for being interrupted.

''I really don't have all the answers for those questions. We should get the Bestiary. Maybe something in there is helpful against the Kanima.''

''The what? I don't want nightmares dude, please don't tell me you're into stuff like that.'' Stiles asked with a pale face.

''Oh my god.'' Peter bemoaned while putting his hands on his face.

''Stiles, Bestiary, it's something entirely different than bestiality,'' Hermione said with a shudder.

''Oh, okay, then what is a Bestiary?'' He asked, happy to forget what he just asked, while Derek and Harry both were struggling to breathe from laughing so hard.

''A Bestiary is a book full of information about all kinds of creatures. I have one upstairs. We used it during our classes at Hogwarts. I don't know if the Kanima is in there, but we can check.''

''Thank you for answering, Miss Granger. I don't know if I could respond to such atrocity.'' Peter said genuinely. Making Hermione preen.

Harry coughed and put his hand on Stiles's back, smiling at his boyfriend for making him laugh like that. He knew that Stiles still felt a little embarrassed, but he seemed happy enough that Derek and Harry had laughed so hard.

''We have in the Hale vaults similar books, and I know that the Argents have one of their own.''

''Do you know where the vaults are?'' Derek asked curiously.

''Yes, I can take you later if you wish.''

''Yeah, I would like that,'' Derek responded softly. Harry understood why this meant so much to Derek, and he reached out to touch Derek's hand.

''Then that's settled. We will do that as soon as possible.'' Peter declared before walking out of the kitchen, declaring that he was going to freshen up.

''We can start by searching for the Kanima in the book we have, and after we can meditate for our Animagus form,'' Harry said while looking at Stiles and Hermione.

''Yes! I would love to start with that.'' Stiles said while wiggling on his chair, almost falling down if Harry hadn't caught him.

''I almost think that it's going to be a nightmare if you can shift into an animal,'' Derek said with a smirk.

''Rude. I'm a delight.'' Stiles says haughtily.

''Sure you are, babe,'' Derek replies.

''Okay, enough flirting at the breakfast table. Go find a room.'' Hermione says with narrowed eyes and an 'I'm watching you all' expression before she walks out to get the Bestiary.

''She is fucking scary sometimes,'' Stiles states, getting a nod from Derek in agreement.

''Oh, you have no idea. She set a teacher on fire when she was twelve.'' Harry says with pride.

''Holy shit, what else?''

''In our fourth year, she found out that an annoying reporter was an illegal animagus, a bug. She captured the bug and kept it in a jar for four months.''

''Hermione is badass.'' Stiles says in awe.

''Don't you forget it.'' Hermione says before walking back into the kitchen, making the boys startle. Hermione smirks at them before planting the book in front of them.

''Come on, boys, we need to help Jackass Jackson.''

Another chapter done!

I really like how the story is going. It is a bit slow, but I hope you don't mind!
