Getting Isaac back to the loft was no issue. He looked slightly distraught as if his memory had escaped him. By the time Derek and I got him to the spare room in the upper part of our loft, he was asleep. Night had fallen, I walked out of the room and shut the door. Derek was already downstairs. I felt my eyes glow as I walked down the stairs. I sat at the window sill and began to think. Why was the Alpha Pack doing this? Collecting Alphas? Taking Betas? What was the endgame? I felt some hands on my shoulders as I inhaled. My eyes clear as they go to their human status.
" All this pain." I said as I felt my mate's body against my back.
" What's their end goal?" I asked as Derek deeply inhaled my scent.
" I don't know, but I can tell you this." Derek told me as he made his eyes glow in the reflection of the giant window pane that showed the city.
" I will keep you safe. You will be ok." He said as I smiled. Those eyes of his always made me feel safe. He sat next to me and placed a hand on my cheek. He smiled at me and placed a kiss on my lips. I could feel the heat and want in the bond as I felt my fangs elongate. I took deep breaths as I looked at him through a could of my long locks. God, I wanted him. Now! I saw his eyes flash. He kissed me as I wrapped my arms around him as Derek picked me up.
" What about Isaac?" I asked as I felt his lips going to my neck. Fuck! He was a god!
" He is gonna be out. For a bit. Probably all night. Right now." He said before laying me down on our bed.
" Focus on me." He said before he and I locked lips.
" Jesus." I moaned as I felt him remove my top. My black lace bra coving my chest. I saw him lift up and take his top off, my hands moving up his abs to his pecs as he came down and prepped my neck with kisses. My fangs bared as they exposed themselves again.
" Christ." I mewled as he ripped my bra off with no issue. He let his lips wrap around one nipple and sucked while licking the nub as his other hand fiddled with my other breast. I bit my lip hard enough to make it bleed, which caused Derek to look up and take my lips in his as I felt my cut heal. His hands maneuvered to my jeans as he got them off after lifting enough to see what he was doing. He quickly got them off with the black underwear I was wearing. I was bare while he still had on his pants!
" Not fai..." I started but he had another thing planned. He spread my legs apart and began licking with vigor and desire, I had one hand in his hair and the other covering my mouth as he worked me, his tongue was liquid honey and he worked two fingers in me that made my walls clench and get wetter. I bite back a howl of pure euphoria as the smell of my climax engulfed the room.
" I swear you are a god." I said breathlessly. He smirked before I came up and kissed him, tasting myself. I got his pants and underwear off. I engulfed him in my mouth and hollowed my cheeks. He growled as he guided my head, the shaft was thick and felt like a perfect fit. He stopped as he grinned. I let him go with a pop.
" I don't want to cum in your mouth." He said with a fanged grin. I smirked as he got on top of me and took no hesitation to enter me. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his hips. As he pounded into me, I felt my brain's thoughts stop as all I could think was; God Fuck! How can he do this! Perfectly! I felt the familiar feeling of the coil building. I felt Derek's fangs nibbling on the mark he gave me so long ago.
" Fuck!" I growled as I felt his knot catching. He growled as he grabbed my hips and quickly got me up and in his lap and continued.
" Ahh!" I cried out as he held me and his knot inflated and caught. I felt tired and feeling full as he continuedly came. After all, was said and done, Derek got us under the blanket. I just laid on him as he rubbed my back. That activity will never get old.
" Do you have to go to school?" Derek asked as I smirked.
" I do have to pass this last year, so I can just lay here with you and get pounded till we have weird mermaid werewolf babies." I said with a smirk. Derek smiled and placed a kiss on my forehead. I fell asleep and didn't dream. I woke up as my alarm went off. I saw that Derek was working out. I smirked and got out of bed. I got dressed in a long sleeve black top and blue jeans with combat boots. I got my trident necklace on my neck, my hairpin in my long honey brown hair. He came over all sweaty. I snatched my sleeveless blue hoodie in my hands.
" AS much as I want to kiss you. I have school." I said as he smirked.
" Stay safe." He said as he touched my claim bite. He quickly covered it with my shoulder sleeve. I left the house and went on my bike. I got on and went to school. I was getting off my bike when I felt eyes on me. I shook it off and headed inside. Class after class, I was practically bored out of my mind. As I was about to go to lunch, I felt my phone buzz, I pulled it and saw it was Derek.
Find me. D.
Wait for what! I inhaled deeply and smelt my love. I found him with Lydia, Allison, and Stiles with a determined cousin of mine.
" Pareidolia. Seeing patterns that aren't there. It's a subset of apophenia." Lydia said as I walked next to my man.
" What did I miss?" I asked as I saw Allison slightly glare at me.
" They're trying to help." Scott said as Derek looked slightly annoyed.
" These two. This one, who used me to resurrect my psychotic Uncle. Thank you." Derek said to the redhead.
" And this one, who shot about 30 arrows into me and my pack and has a grudge against my girl." Derek said as I felt his hand intertwine with mine.
" Okay, all right, now, come on. No one died, all right? Look, there may have been a little maiming, okay, a little mangling, but no death. That's what I call an important distinction." Stiles said as I lifted an eyebrow.
" Being shot and nearly bleeding out to death and stabbed leading to scarring. Healthy I presume." I said as I looked at Allison.
" My mother died." Allison said as I growled low. The bitch stabbed me! I felt calmness shot through the bond as it made my bite scar from Derek feel like endorphins as it traveled my body.
" Your family's little honor code kill your mother. Not me." Derek said sternly. I turned to him as he looked at me then behind me at probably Allison.
" That girl was looking for Scott. I'm here to help him, not you or her." Allison's voice was like venom. Fine act like a bitch, get treated like one.
" You wanna help whats going on? Find something real." I said as I looked at her with my eyes flashing.
" Derek, Marina... Give her a chance. Okay, they're on our side now." Scott said as I huffed.
" Well then maybe you should tell her what her mother was actually trying to do that night." Derek said before I lead him out of the room.
" I know this sucks. And it sucks so much more as the Alpha Twins are snooping." I said dragging Derek to another room.
" And we only have so much time to find out why they are here." Derek says as I smirked.
" I know what you did. Calming me down in there." I told him as he smirked. He pulled me in and kissed me, I smiled into it as I remembered something.
" I have to stay late to finish an Art project. I won't be home till late." I said as I felt his hands on my hips.
" Text me when you are back." He said before he gave my forehead a kiss and left. I smiled as I felt the mark on my neck. I went on about my day before the bell rang. I packed up my bag and began heading to my bike.
" Library then home." I said before I felt a presence behind me. I turned to see one of the Alpha twins. I had to stay calm.
" Hey." He said as I smiled.
" Hi." I replied as he smiled back.
" I'm Ethan." He said with a calm exterior.
" I'm Marina." I said as I had my arms crossed.
" I noticed your bike. Nice Honda." He said as I patted my old boy.
" Yep Dean is my main, but I have a project I'm working on and hope to finish." I said as I kept my heartbeat calm and scent secluded.
" What would that be?" He asked as I got on my bike.
" A 1969 Chevy Camaro Convertible. My dream car. Pretty much missing a few essential parts, but I can't wait to drive it. I also have a 2010 Dodge Challenger so I'm happy with what I have." I said as I started up my bike. I put my helmet on and rode off. When I was far away enough, I gasped out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
" Fucking wicked." I said calming my nerves. I went to the library and began my project. Time began to slip past me. My phone buzzing pulled me out of it as I saw an urgent text on my phone.
Please come home. D.
I sighed and saw it was 10:56 PM. I packed up my stuff and rode off. I got home and after parking my bike, I headed up. I put my bag down and saw Derek by the table. I could smell the sadness and anger fuming off of him.
" What happened?" I asked as I see him turn to me.
" Deaton tried helping Isaac remember. He said they are at the Beacon Hills National Bank." He said calm but saddened.
" Why do I feel like you are about to drop the other shoe?" I asked as he looked at me.
" Cause Isaac said that Erica was dead." He said flatly. I felt myself stagger and walk to a brick wall that had a giant hole in it. I felt my fangs come out and my eyes glowing. I let out a loud cry as I collapsed. I felt arms around me as I sobbed.
" It can't be true! It can't!" I cried out as he rocked me back and forth. We stayed like that for an hour as I couldn't cry anymore. I felt myself getting tired as I felt Derek slowly remove my clothes and lay me in bed. I felt my eyes close, sleep wasn't easy as I kept screaming awake picturing Erica's body on the floor of a room. It soon became light as I just wanted to stay in bed. Derek called me in sick and just laid with me.
" We have to rescue Boyd." Derek said as I nodded. I got out of bed and put on a blue crop top and black jeans. I sat by the window as my thoughts ran.
Why would they do it? What was it to gain to kill Erica? How long do we have to wait and just sit here?
I jumped a bit as I saw Derek come by and rub my shoulder.
" Your eyes kept flickering, I was getting worried." He said as I got up and sighed.
" I have to distract myself." I said as he nodded. I walked to the door and I felt Derek's presence follow. I went down to the garage and took the tarp off my project. I began working on the engine. This just wasn't my dream car, it was also a distraction. It felt like hours as I installed the new parts. I saw the time as only three hours had passed and the night sky was almost on us. I covered my project and headed back up. I saw Stiles, Scott, and Peter. I waved to them as I wiped away the grease.
" New car project?" Peter asked as I nodded.
" 1969 Chevy Camaro Convertible." I told him before he smiled. I see Stiles and Derek talking, Stiles had his hand out and Derek had a fist out. Oh no.
" Okay, see this? That's maybe 3 inches of room to gather enough force to punch through solid co..." Stiles says before Derek outright punches with a hard enough force to knock Stiles on his ass. I chuckled.
" He could do it." Stiles said before I walked over and did a little healing magic and his hand was fine.
" I'll get through the wall. Who's following me down?" Derek asked as I put my hands up.
" You said to stay as far from Alpha Packness as I can and you'd just ground me here." I said as he nodded.
" Don't look at me. I'm not up to fighting speed yet, and honestly, with Isaac out of commission, you're not looking at very good odds for yourself." Peter said as I sat back on the window sill. I could feel the full moon empowering my mermaid self.
" So I'm supposed to just let them die?" Derek asked his uncle. I let my mind go fogged out. I soon felt a hand on my shoulder.
" I'll bring him back safe." Derek said as I saw Scott looking over to me.
" You better or I'm tearing that cute little ass apart." I said as he smirked and placed a loving kiss on my lips. I watched as they left. Time went by as I felt nervous and worried, keeping tabs on the bond and emotions that Derek let through. The full moon overhead as its light hit me.
" I can't take waiting around like this, you know? It's nerve-wracking. My nerves are racked. They're severely racked. Racked." Stiles says as he's over by me. I pat his shoulder.
" I could beat you unconscious and wake you when it's over." Peter said as he had his head back on the couch and his eyes closed.
" You think Erica's really dead?" Stiles asked as I huffed.
" You think I really care?" Peter replied as I growled.
" How about we play the quiet game before I flood my loft!" I said as the two looked at me. I got off the window sill and went to the bathroom. I changed into a black tank top and blue jeans. I grabbed a light jacket and came back out.
" No, you idiot. I have an apartment downtown." Peter said to Stiles as I returned and sat on my bed.
" Okay, fine, but still, that just proves that there's something up with the bank. And why wait around for the full moon, huh? Why not just kill them whenever they want to?" Stiles asked as I wanted this headache to be over with. I pressed my pendant and it formed my trident. I walked to the window and let it absorb moonlight before letting it go back into necklace mode. I zoned out for what felt like a half-second before I felt panic in the room. The boys were panicking as they looked through the papers.
" There, that's it." Stiles said as I came over to the table.
" Hecatolite." Peter said as all the alarms came on.
" Is that awful? That sounds awful." Stiles said as I slammed my hands on the table.
" Get 'em on the phone. Call them. Now!" Peter exclaimed.
" Okay, why?" Stiles said in a worried tone.
" 'Cause Boyd and that girl aren't gonna kill each other. They're gonna kill Derek and Scott." Derek's uncle exclaimed. Fear, shock, worry! It all hit me at once. Stiles quickly rang up my cousin.
" Scott! Scott! No, listen to me, okay? Look, you gotta get outta there. Look, the walls of the vault are made with a mineral called hecatolite. It scatters the moonlight." Stiles yelled loudly. I felt my claws emerge. Oh no!
" Look, it keeps the moonlight out, okay? They haven't felt the full moon in months." My friend exclaimed as I felt my eyes glowing.
" Okay, think of it like the gladiators in the Roman colosseum. They used to starve the lions for three days, making them more vicious, more out of control. Deucalion has kept them from shifting for three full moons, diminishing their tolerance to it." Peter's voice was going foggy. Was I having a panic attack?
" Scott, they're gonna be stronger..." Stiles' voice was harder to read. My heartbeat was getting faster.
" More savage, more bloodthirsty, Scott, they're the lions. They're the starved lions, and you and Derek just stepped into the colosseum." Peter's line was like a death sentence to me as I felt myself shaking. The roars and growls were loud. I felt Derek's pain!
" Scott? Scott, are you hearing this? Scott!" Stiles yelled out. I screamed out as it turned into an earth-shattering roar. I was afraid, I was scared as I felt hands on me. Peter looked into my eyes.
" Marina, it's ok to calm down." Peter said as I was on my hands and knees as the feeling of pain hit me.
" They're killing him!" I screamed out! I cried tears of agony before it stopped. Derek's heartbeat was loud in the bond.
" It stopped." I said as I felt myself change back.
" We have to find them." I told the two of them.
" I have a feeling the night has only begun." I told them as I grabbed my bike keys and headed out to find my mate and figure out what the hell happened.
