Ok I want to say I'm sorry to all of the fans of this fic. But I don't have any excuse other then I'm a lazy sack of shit. That's it. I got bored of writing and stopped for a while. But now I'm back and by the will of the pack. I WILL FINISH THIS!
Letting the cat out
Stiles sat in the back seat of his jeep as his Dad drove them home. The rest of the pack was behind him in their own cars. All moving along in one big caravan. Stiles fidgeted in his seat. Processing everything that he has been told. He couldn't believe that his Dad had kept something this big from him. How could his Dad keep the fact that he wasn't human from him for so long. He could of help out Scott so much when he was first turned. Hell he could of helped take down Peter if he had his Feline powers. And how he could of helped more with Jackson. When he was turned in to a Kanima.
"STILES?"
Jerking out of his thoughts. Stiles looked up meeting his Father's eyes in the rear view mirror. "I'm sorry for keeping this from you for so long son. But I don't need you retreating in to you're head right now. I need you present with us. Okay?"
Stiles just nodded.
"Good. Cause you're going to need to have a crash course on how you're abilities work. As well as combat training. I'll be damned if that Bastard comes close to you again, and you can't defend yourself."
"Wait. You know who that guy was that bit me?" Stiles shot up in between the front seats of the jeep.
"Yes. Now sit back down. And put your seat belt back on. Even with a healing factor. Getting in to a wreck and having broken bones still isn't fun." John said. Pushing Stiles on the head back in to the seat.
"I would listen to your Dad on that one Stiles. Especially if you're not use to healing that fast. You're pain tolerance might not be at a level to where you can ignore it as it heals."
Stiles jerk again at the sound of Derek's voice coming up from behind him.
"Derek?"
"Yes Stiles. You can still hear me even if we're in different cars. Now listen to the Sheriff. Getting in a wreck even as a Werewolf still hurts. And that's wearing your seat belt. It's worse when you don't have one on."
"Speaking from experience Hale?"
Stiles looked at his Dad in the rear view mirror. John arched a brow back at him.
"kind of. I've been in a wreck ware my seat belt broke. And was sent tumbling around the car for a bit."
John's face scrunched up in sympathy. "Ouch."
"Yeah it wasn't fun."
"As amusing as it is to hear about how the mutt hurt himself. We have more important matters to discuss." Anna interjected.
"Yeah. Like who was that guy that bite me? And why did he bite me anyways? Wasn't I already turning into a Were-cat already?" Stiles said. Shifting his head back and forth between his Dad and Aunt.
"Yes you were. But the bite from a King or Queen Were-cat could make the process speed up. It's mostly used for times of great strife. For when the Pride is in danger. It brakes the control the parents have over the feline inside of a born Were-cat. And brings the beast to the forefront. It's honestly not much different then a human turned Were-cat."
Stiles looked at his Aunt in confusion. "Wow, Wow, wait. You keep saying King and Queen like it means something. Is that like saying Alpha but for were-cats?"
"Yes and your Father is the King of our pride."
"Dad's an Alpha?"
"If it helps you to think about this in wolf terms. Then yes; I'm the Alpha of our pack. Though I would sagest that you get used to the word pride. The rest of our pride wouldn't take to kindly to being called a pack."
"But your the Alpha Dad?"
John shot Stiles a look in the mirror.
"Sorry King."
"Yes I am the prides King. Why are you having a hard time wrapping your head around that."
"Oh I don't know. Maybe because the last time I checked in with your doctor. You have the beginning signs of a heart condition and high cholesterol."
"Johnathan?"
"Not now Anna. And Stiles we need to have a talk about privacy again."
"Yes now Johnathan. Is this the first time that you've let your puma out since Claudia died? Have you been taking Leopards bane for this long?"
"What Leopards Bane? Is that like Wolves Bane?"
Anna looked back at Stiles. Her brow arching up in the middle. "Leopards Bane is actually a strain of Wolves Bane. That effect Were-cats especially well. In low doses it can make us pass as human. And lets us get intoxicated. But if taken to many times it will build in our systems and start to kill us." With the last part being directly towards John.
"Dad have you been poisoning yourself?"
The heavy sigh that leaves John lips was a trying one. The feeling a deep regret coming off of the man was palpable. "Yes I was poisoning myself. And before you go off on how stupid that is. I already know and I've taken the antidote. But in my defense I wasn't in my right frame of mind. And the pain of loosing my mate wasn't being handled well. And I know that I took a lot of things out on you when I shouldn't of son. And I made a promise to myself that I'll be spending a the rest of my long life making everything up to you."
"But Dad you were poisoning yourself!"
"Yes Stiles. I Know. I was having a hard time after we lost your Mother. And didn't realize that I was making the same hard time for you even worse."
"Yeah Dad I some what forgiven you for that years ago. I'm more concerned about the fact that you were killing yourself with a slow and painful death as POISON! Why is it the fact that you only now have taken the antidote."
"Because you're life is in danger. That's why I've taken the antidote."
"Oh you taken the antidote now cause only now my life was in danger. Where was this need to protect me when Peter was running around on the loose killing people? Where was this need to protect me when I was kidnapped and tortured by Gerard and his psycho hunters? Or I don't know how about when Jackson was turned in to a Kanima? We sure could of used some help with all of that."
"OK for one you never came to me for help when Peter was on the loose. So I had no clue that he was the one killing people. I still thought that he was in a coma at Beacon General. But you decided to hide that Gerard kidnapped you. And trust me the second I find that old fucker, I'm going to give him a taste of his own medicine. And don't get me started on the stupidity that you pulled with Jackson."
"Honestly Sheriff, the stupidity was worse on the receiving end." Jackson piped in as he drove his Porsche past the jeep.
"I wouldn't get to ahead of yourself Jackson. If I had known that you became a Kanima. I would of put a bullet in your head."
The loud screech of tires filled the night as stop Jackson stopped in the middle of the street.
"WHAT?!"
"You heard me Jackson. I would of put you out of your misery. And saved all of the lives that you were forced to kill. I'm just sad that I can't lock that Daehler kid behind bars for what he did. But that doesn't matter now."
Stiles looked out the window as they past Jackson's car. His shocked and pale face was heart breaking. Lydia was waving her hand in-front of his face. Worry and fear was clear to see on her face as Jackson stared off in to the night. The rest of the packs drove slower as they past the silver car. Making sure that the two inside were alright.
"Jackson?"
"Jackson what's wrong?"
Lydia snapped her fingers in his ear. Trying to snap him out of his stooper.
"What?"
Jackson turned to look at Lydia.
"Jackson are you alright? Why did you stop all of a sudden?"
Jackson huffed a sigh.
"Honestly no. The Sheriff just said that he would of put a bullet in my head if he new that I was the Kanima a couple of week back."
"Huh"
"Huh? That all you have to say? I just told you that the sheriff would of killed me a couple of weeks ago. And all you have to say is huh."
"Well what do you want me to say? We just found out that he's an Alpha Were-cat. I'm not going to put anything past him at this point. Now we are getting left behind. Can you please catch up to everyone?"
Jackson looked forward seeing the tail light of their friends driving off in to distance. Shifting the car into gear. Jackson drove to catch up to the group.
