Chapter 1:
Beacon Hills, California
Getting the loft had been a good decision on Derek's part, it was a constant thought that filtered through Stiles' head, and mouth because he had absolutely no control over his babbling, especially in times like when the entire pack needed to get together to plan.
Scott was curled up beside Allison in a corner of the couch, lost in their own world, Erica and Boyd were too busy making out on the other end of the couch and Lydia was curled up on top of Jackson, watching the movie playing in the background. Isaac and Danny were cuddled at their feet and Cora and Malia were laying down on the carpet, heads pillowed on their thighs. Peter was helping Derek and Stiles plan on how to deal with the Alpha Pack, or rather Peter and the rest of the pack were stealing glances or outright watching Stiles suggest rambling plans and Derek shoot them down, mostly because Stiles was actively involved in those plans, during the action.
Honestly, Derek was lucky Stiles wasn't as hot tempered as his siblings or the way Sourwolf was growling and interrupting him at every turn, he definitely would have ended up dead. It was times like this he was tempted to prove that he was actually stronger and faster than the pack but personal pride is not a good enough reason to out his secret, especially when on the run.
Stiles didn't reply to Derek's latest shoot down, attention having been caught by something outside. Dialing his hearing up, he heard 5 heartbeats approaching the loft. They weren't quite close enough to be heard by the wolves or rather were being quiet enough to not be heard but his hearing was far more sensitive than that of werewolves, not to mention more well-honed due to centuries of practice. Although, with the pack thinking he was human, there wasn't much he could do to act on that. Realizing it was the Alpha Pack let him relax, the ever-present anxiety that his siblings or father had found him, but it made several questions run through his mind at the same time.
"Hey, anyone else hear that?" he questioned out loud, hoping that at least they would try to listen even if it was just to prove him wrong, but no dice. They were all to overconfident, this was the downside of turning people who couldn't fight for themselves before. They were too used to not being powerful in some ways that with the new found supernatural abilities they took it all for granted thinking they could fight everything, because there was nothing stronger than them. Even now, the pack still hadn't had a one-on-one confrontation that went beyond words with the Alpha Pack to prove them wrong and Gerard or the Kanima hadn't done much either.
The original nearly laughed at the looks but the door flew open before he could. Kali immediately moved first, going straight for Derek who after a momentary second of being caught off guard recovered and rushed forward to protect his den and pack, joined by Peter, Cora and Malia. The twins went straight for Scott, Isaac, and Danny while Erica, Boyd and Jackson pushed Stiles, Allison and Lydia behind them when Ennis came forward. The so-called Alpha of Alphas stood in the doorway observing all the separate fights with a smug look that made Stiles ich to race over and snap his neck, but the pack were however badly holding their own, that is to say not in active danger to dying anytime soon although that changed when Kali and Ennis teamed up when Deucalion took over the fight with the Hales.
All thoughts of keeping his secret flew out of his head when he watched Erica's eyes widen as Kali's claws cut through the air going straight for the kill. Ignoring Lydia and Allison's calls for him to stop, he sped forward grabbing Kalli's hand, spinning and launching her straight into the twins, sending them craning into a wall with a resounding bang. The remaining Alphas trying to get the upper hand in the moment of distraction but not getting close as Stiles was quickly spun around by Ennis' clawed hand on his bicep only to gasp as the original closed his fist around his beating heart. Quickly ripping out the organ with a feral snarl, he tossed the organ at Deucalion's feet.
"Nobody attacks my pack. The Hale Pack of Beacon Hills is worthy. Now leave." He watched Deucalion raise an eyebrow and step forward, titling his head.
"Nobody told me the Hale pack was involved with a vampire. Why waste time with children when you could have so much more." He tempted, ignoring the stunned and confused looks of everyone else, and the disbelief and wariness of his own pack.
"A Vampire?" Stiles questioned amused despite himself; he had already blown his secret so he might as well go full out. "Oh, my darling little mutt, I'm not just a vampire. I'm an Original. SHOW ME SOME RESPECT!" he bellowed out, stealing an act from his older brother Nik.
"You will leave Beacon Hills and never come back, or I will rip you to shreds and use your pelt as a rug. Am I clear?" Raising an eyebrow and giving a pointed look at Ennis misshapen heart, Deucalion paled, receiving the message as he hurriedly nodded.
"We apologize for giving you trouble, we'll be out of Beacon Hills by night fall" the room reeked of fear as the Alpha Pack realized just what they had pissed off, collecting the body and heart before leaving. Stiles took a deep breathe, knowing that the pack had seen his face change and gathered up the courage to face them, turning first to Erica.
"Are you hurt?" he asked, scanning her then the rest of the pack for any life-threatening injuries. She shook her head, clearly shell shocked as she watched him with wide eyes.
"Stiles, he said vampire, but vampires don't exist, you're human, so how did you do that?" it was Scott who spoke first, and Stiles nearly smiled at the way he ignored his own admittance.
"Vampires do exist and Stiles is, apparently one. An Original at that." It was Peter who answered Scott, approaching with a wary look in his eye and a towel in his hand.
"What's an Original?" Lydia was next as he glanced at Derek, trying to get a read on the surprisingly quiet Alpha but not getting a que on how to act.
"It's a long story, you probably want to get cleaned up and comfortable first, then I'll explain everything."
