The next day as Danny made his way to school he thought about everything that he had found out from Ethan the night before. He also thought back to a few weeks before that when Ethan had confessed some of the truth to him, he'd woken up and not seen Ethan next to him. He heard the sound of whimpering coming from the bathroom. He grabbed his phone thinking that Ethan had gotten hurt in the bathroom for some reason. He then thought to himself who do you call about a hurt werewolf anyway, maybe he'll tell me if he needs help. When he got there what he saw was not what he had expected. Ethan was sitting in a corner on the floor drawn up into a ball, but he was different his eyes were glowing blue and he had fangs.
Ethan yawned and saw himself in the mirror buried his head in his hands and was crying. Danny heard him say "are you afraid of me now?"
Danny thought about it as he grabbed a tissue box and said "no because if you wanted to harm me you would have done it by now," he then sat down on the floor next to him and said "here dry your eyes."
Ethan grabbed the tissue that Danny had handed him and said "thanks and your right if I did I would have done it by now."
Danny smiled at him and put an arm on his back and rubbed it and said "what's wrong?"
Ethan looked at him and thought do I tell him everything? He then said to himself yes I'm tired of not telling the truth. Ethan could tell that Danny's heart rate was elevated slightly; Ethan could tell he was afraid but yet he was trying to comfort him. Ethan consternated on his anchor his younger brother Aiden and was able to shift himself back to human and said to Danny "I need t talk to you about something and you can't tell your family about it ok. "
Danny nodded and said "ok I guess."
That was enough for Ethan and he said "I'm not what you think I am."
Danny then said "what a werewolf who loves me?"
Ethan than looked at him and said "wait you know, how? Who told you?"
Danny than said "I kind of guessed as I'd heard Scott and Stiles talking, they really need to learn to whisper. Plus that night when you ran off in the motel room I kind of went through your wallet and looked up your last name."
Ethan then said "so how come you never said anything?"
Danny then said "I don't know I just wanted you to tell me."
Ethan leaded over and hugged him and said "thanks so who else do you know is one?"
Danny then said "um your older brother for one," Ethan then interrupted him and said "your half right about that. Yes my brother is a werewolf but he's the younger one."
Danny then said "wait I thought you were the younger one?"
Ethan then said "why because I'm the submissive twin?"
Danny nodded and said "Yeah I guess I just assumed that the submissive twin is the younger one."
Ethan then said "true but not always like I said I'm the older brother by 7 minutes, but Aiden and I don't share the same birthday."
Danny then said "interesting so that means you were born late at night and Aiden was born after midnight the next day, am I right?"
Ethan nodded and said "yeah, so who else do you think is a werewolf?"
Danny then said "Scott." Ethan nodded, Danny than said "Stiles?"
Ethan replied "Nope he's human just like you "as he leaned over and kissed him.
Danny than said "Isaac" Ethan nodded; Danny continued and said "Lydia?"
Ethan shook his head and said "no she's just something else."
Danny then said "ok so what is she then, if she's not a werewolf?"
Ethan said "she's a banshee."
Danny then said "interesting I think I'll have to look that up."
Danny then asked "what about Stiles Cousin Miguel?"
Ethan replied "who's that?" Danny then gave a description of him; Ethan replied "that sounds like Derek. He was Isaac's Alpha."
Danny then said "so who's the Alpha now?"
Ethan replied "Scott"
Danny then said "so was Derek his or something?"
Ethan replied "I'm not really sure who Scott's is I've never really asked him that, plus Aid and I aren't exactly in his pack so I haven't really..."
Danny finished his sentence "talked to him much."
Ethan nodded then said "so you're not wondering why a big strong werewolf is sitting on your bathroom floor."
Danny then said "maybe" as leaned over and kissed him. "So why are you here?"
Ethan then said "I had a nightmare about something from my past. I get them every now and then."
Danny then said "do you want to talk about it" as he rubbed Ethan's back.
Ethan said "no not really, mainly because I don't remember it now, let's just go back to bed ok."
Danny got up first and gave a hand to Ethan and helped him up. Once they got back to Danny's room Danny put his phone down on his desk and noticed that Ethan's had a message on it he flipped it to him as he told him about it. Ethan said "it's just Aiden he wanted to know if I was ok."
Ethan texted him back and added that he had told Danny.
Danny then thought to when he had first talked with Scott about him being a werewolf. Stiles had actually seemed more annoyed that he hadn't said anything then Scott had. Then some really odd stuff started happening in town like Isaac getting electrocuted Coach getting shot with an arrow and some weird shit with Stiles. Danny had hardly seen Ethan during most of that, and then out of the blue one night he gets a call from him to meet him at a vet's office. Ethan had then asked him to help with some ritual to help Aiden come back to life; Danny rubbed the back of his neck as he thought about it. Just as he thought about it he saw the twins pull up beside him at a red light. He looked over at them and Ethan waved at him. Once the light changed they were off, Danny knew they'd be at school before he got there. Even if they were going the limit their bikes had a faster acceleration rate then his car.
Danny turned his thoughts back to the night he had confirmed that Ethan was a werewolf and he remembered that Ethan had told him that he had never been on a date before; Danny knew he needed to make the first move if he wanted to keep Ethan as a boyfriend, he had decided to invite him out for a first date.
When he arrived at school he saw Aiden standing by Ethan's locker. Well Danny was approaching him he saw Aiden leave and thought good it will be easier to ask Ethan what I want t to if Aiden isn't there.
As Danny approached his locker Ethan could smell his cologne that he always wore. Ethan smiled and said "hey Danny," without even looking to see him.
Danny then said "how'd you know it was me?"
Ethan looked around and said "you're sent I could smell your cologne down the hall."
Danny then said "is it that strong?"
Ethan replied "relax you're fine I just have a heightened sense of smell."
Danny then whispered to him "werewolf stuff?"
Ethan nodded, as he grabbed his books for English. Danny then asked him "Ethan do you have any plans for Friday night?"
Ethan thought for a moment and said "no, why what do you have in mind?"
Danny then said "I was thinking we could go out somewhere for dinner and go to a club."
Ethan nodded and said "yeah sure sounds good do you want to drive or go on my bike?"
Danny said "I'll drive no offense I'm just not that comfortable on the back of a motorcycle."
Ethan nodded and said "That's cool I'm fine with that. What time do you want to meet?"
Danny then said "is six good for you?"
Ethan nodded and said "it's a date then," as the bell rang, he thought to himself "man I hate having a locker under that thing."
A little later in the day at lunch Aiden could see that Ethan was in a good mood and said "what's up bro you seem to be in a good mood?"
Ethan replied "yeah I've got a date for Friday night at six."
Aiden then said "wow you finally asked him out?"
Ethan replied sheepishly "no he asked me, I'm terrible at this stuff."
Aiden then said "hey you're still figuring it out ok. Danny knows it too which is why he probably made the first move."
Ethan thought to himself yeah definitely, he then turned to Aiden and said "so what about you and Lydia?"
Aiden replied "what about her?"
Ethan said "when are you going on a date with her?"
Aiden laughed as he replied "you got me there bro, maybe I should see if she wants to do something on Friday too?"
Ethan replied "yeah you should."
Aiden looked at him and said "I like this new Ethan, you've got more confidantes then I've seen in you for a while."
Ethan then said "yeah well I've got a boyfriend and a pack that accepts me for who I am."
Aiden smiled and hugged him and said "yeah we got a great pack now; I just wish they'd trust me more like they do you."
Ethan then said "give them time, and get to know them."
Aiden then said "I know but that stuff is easier for you, and they still see me as a bad guy."
Ethan replied "Scott and Stiles don't. On the night you almost died Scott said that he wanted us in his pack and that Stiles agreed with him. I know Isaac has issues with us but we need to give him time he's still new to being a werewolf."
Aiden nodded and said "don't forget so is Scott."
Ethan said "yeah he is but he's a good guy he reminds me of our Grandfather, he always found good in everyone."
Aiden drew his brother into a hug and said "yeah I know he's like you too bro."
Just then Lydia walked by and Aiden said "hey Lydia Ethan and Danny are going out on Friday so I was wondering if you wanted to do anything."
Lydia then said "how about we rent a movie and order something in?"
Aiden said "yeah sure sounds good. You're place or mine?"
Lydia thought for a moment and said "yours, but you'll have to tell me where it is."
Aiden Replied "it's the same building Allison lives in."
Lydia said "really your werewolves and you live in the same building as hunters."
Aiden replied back "yeah it was Deucalion's idea not ours."
Lydia then said "ok I'll see you at six then."
Aiden smiled and said "that's good as Danny's picking up Eth up then for their date."
Lydia then said "that's good so will have the place to ourselves then."
Aiden replied "yeah. So do you have any plans for tonight I could use some help with math."
Lydia then said "sorry I'm busy Allison and I are going shopping with Malia you can come if you want."
Aiden then said "I think I'll take a rain check on that one. I don't enjoy shopping to much, just ask Ethan."
Lydia looked over to Ethan and said "I understand what you meant from yesterday."
Just then Scott Stiles and Isaac came over to join them. Aiden then turned to Stiles and Isaac and said "since Scott and Ethan are going to be at the animal clinic after school do either of you want to hang out?"
Both of them looked shocked and Aiden said "look were pack now I just want to get to know you guy's better and give you a chance to know me."
Stiles looked at Scott before turning back to Aiden and said "yeah sure."
Ethan then said to Isaac "go with him he won't harm you anymore then I will. Trust me if he does he has me to answer too."
Aiden then said "yeah and having Ethan mad at you isn't a good thing." He then turned to Isaac and said "did Ethan help you find some sunglasses yesterday?"
Isaac then said "no but I did notice that he had a pretty cool pair."
Ethan then said "Aid why don't you go with them to get some."
Isaac then said to Ethan "I thought you were the style guy?"
Ethan then said "I am but he has good taste in sunglasses."
Aiden smiled and said "thanks bro."
Ethan then said "It's true you do have good taste in sunglasses and bikes."
Scott then said "I wish I could afford a bike like yours."
Ethan then said "yours suits you though it's a little rough around the edges like you are."
Aiden then said "yeah the only other thing I could see you on would be a Harley."
Scott then said "maybe when I'm older and have the money for one."
Stiles then said "didn't your brother have one?"
Ethan and Aiden looked at Scott and said "you have a brother?"
Scott said "yeah after High Scholl he kind of took off to get away from Beacon Hills, I keep in touch with him though. Unlike my Dad he actually cares about me somewhat. He said he's thinking of coming back once he finishes veterinary school. He asked me the other day for Deaton's contact info because he said he wants to do his internship with him. I think he has his Harley in storage somewhere. He's got a Chevy Volt now."
Scott then pulled his phone to show the twins a picture of him. Scott also brought up his Facebook page to show some other pictures of him. One of them was of him and Camden Lahey in high School. Isaac looked at it and said "I forgot he knew Camden. I remember now he sent a really nice note to me and my dad when he died."
Allison then said "wait he knew Camden was he on the swim team too?"
Scott then said "no he wasn't that good of a swimmer, he was the Lacrosse Captain. Him and Cameron knew each other since kindergarten. Isaac went to a different school then Stiles and I so we didn't know him until he got bitten."
Danny then said "what does the swim team have to do with anything?"
Stiles then said "do you remember last March or so when there were all those weird deaths?"
Danny then said "which ones were those again?"
Stiles then said "yeah I know I get confused sometimes too. They started with Isaac's dad getting killed and then some others who were on the old swim team that he couched. Anyway Matt Daehler was behind tem he was controlling a creature to kill them."
Danny then said "he's the one who Jackson borrowed the camera from so he could video himself."
Scott then said "yeah."
Danny then said "is Jackson some sort of were creature."
Lydia then said "he's a werewolf."
Danny then laughed and said "an American werewolf in London."
Stiles then said "yeah tell me about it, it's like something out of a movie."
Aiden then said "it's funny Eth and I don't really watch werewolf movies, they just don't seem realistic."
Stiles then said "I could see that. Hey can I ask you something. One of the myths I came across about becoming a werewolf is drinking..."
Allison then interrupted him and said "... rain water out of a puddle. According to my families research that's just myth. The main way other than being born one that people become werewolves is by being bitten."
Ethan nodded and said "yup I've only seen that in myths too. If you think about it, the whole myth just sounds ridiculous. Essentially it was away for people to explain the bite healing quickly, as some people after their bitten they heal right away with no sign they were bitten, but that's kind of rare. They have to be bitten by a True Alpha on the night of a supermoon."
Stiles then said "that's interesting."
Ethan then said "so your brother played Lacrosse, does he still?"
Scott then said "no he had to give it up after he ruptured his Achilles tendon during the championship game. He got shoved hard to the ground and his ankle snapped in a funny direction, but amazingly the ball end up in the net and he scored the winning goal. The team didn't really celebrate it much as their star player was down on the field. Coach Finstock was pissed too. One of the other players on the field got to take a penalty shot but it didn't really matter as the game was over and we had won."
Aiden then said "man that sucks I bet he wishes he could be a werewolf after that."
Scott then said "he doesn't know about them and at the time Peter was the only one in town and he only became able enough to bite me."
Aiden then said "if you had the opportunity would you bite him?"
Scott then said "no unless he asked."
Stiles then said "Scott doesn't see it as a gift but as curse."
Ethan replied "yeah I can see that, especially with the whole you could die from it thing. I remember one time a few years ago with the pack we killed the Alpha took Aid and I somewhere and we saw a young guy in his late teens. He told us to drag him into the woods, were he bit him and then we left. I remember he said to us "leave him either he bleeds out and dies from the bite or he turns either way he's screwed." We just left him I don't know what happened to him."
Aiden then said "that Alpha did a lot of crap like that, he didn't care for anyone other than himself and if one of his "betas" searched him out he either made them part of his pack or killed them if they were too week. He kept us as his Omegas because we were young and born werewolves."
Ethan then added "and we're identical twins."
Aiden then looked down at him slightly smiled and said "mostly."
Ethan growled at him and said "I thought we agreed no height jokes. Don't forget I'm the oldest."
Aiden laughed and said "ok no more height jokes."
Scott then said "I get it too Logan's about six foot two so I kind of know what it's like for someone to make jokes like that."
For the rest of lunch Scott sat in silence thinking about his brother and somehow knowing that it would be ok to tell him about everything, but he wanted to do in person not by phone, or email or text like their dad would or did. Scott thought back to when he left to go to San Francisco with the FBI and all he had done was left them a note.
A little while after school Scott and Ethan arrived outside of the Animal clinic, as they went in Ethan turned to him and said "you don't talk about your brother much."
Scott then said "not to you two. I don't talk about him a lot though even with Stiles."
Deaton then said "talk about whom?"
Scott then said "Logan my brother."
Deaton then said "how is he I haven't heard from him since he left Beacon Hills."
Scott said "he's doing well. I got an email from last night asking for your contact info, he was wondering if he could do his internship here. He also said he's thinking of coming back for Christmas."
Deaton then said "He hasn't gotten in touch with me yet, but if he does I don't mind training someone new."
Just then Danny came in with his family dog and said "hey Ethan, Scott." He then turned to Doctor Deaton and said "I brought Apollo in for his check up."
Ethan went over to the dog and said "hey buddy who's a god doggie." Apollo nuzzled Ethan in a friendly manor.
Dr. Deaton then said "it looks like the two of you are familiar, why don't you help me with the exam."
The four of them went into the back room and Ethan helped get Apollo up on the exam table. The dog was a beautiful white lab Ethan was just stroking him gently well, Danny looked on and said "aside from me Ethan is the only one he lets stroke him like that."
Ethan then said "it's a werewolf thing, plus I have this weird gift were all animals like me even cats which is kind of rare with werewolves."
Just then the phone rang well Dr. Deaton was doing his exam and asked "Scott can you get that for me?"
Scott went into the office and picked up the phone and said "Beacon Hills Animal Clinic this is Scott speaking how canI help you?"
The person on the other end of the phone said "hey little bro I didn't expect to have you answer it."
Scott answer back "hey big bro, I would have thought you would have called earlier, Deaton's busy doing an exam on a dog right now."
Logan then replied "that's ok I can wait a bit to talk to him plus it gives me some time to catch up with you."
Scott then said "cool so you're thinking of coming back here then?"
Logan replied "yeah it feels like something is almost drawing me back there, maybe I'm just home sick but it feels more than that sometimes."
Scott thought about what his brother had said and was almost going to ask him if it was anything supernatural, but instead said "why don't you come home for Thanksgiving as well?"
Logan replied "yeah sounds good bro, I'll have to talk to Mom about it first, but I should be there."
Dr, Deaton then came in the room and said "who's on the phone?"
Scott replied "it's my brother Logan."
Deaton then said "good I was wondering when he'd call. You can go and help Ethan give Apollo a rabies shot well I talk to him."
Scott nodded and headed out of the room and walked over to the small table Deaton had setup up with the rabies vaccine and a needle he then should Ethan what the correct does was for a dog Apollo's size, before handing it to him and said "he trusts you he should let you do it just hold his tail up and inject it just below it and above his butt."
Ethan then said to Apollo "ok now just relax ok this might hurt a little but you'll be ok it's just to keep you safe ok."
There was a little wiper from Apollo as Ethan put the needle in but having the werewolf's touch on him eased his pain a little. Danny noticed some black vanes forming on Ethan's hand and going up his arm as he pricked Apollo with the needle and injected him. After it was done Danny looked to Ethan and said "what was with those black vanes on your hand?"
Ethan replied "I was sharing some of my werewolf healing with him to help keep him settled well I gave him his shot."
Deaton then said "that's interesting that you know how to do that."
Ethan then said "what sharing my healing?"
Deaton replied "yes I usually have to teach werewolves to do that. Then again it's been a while since a born one has trusted me."
Ethan then said "it's not a big deal to me I used to share it with a kid I knew that had asthma in school I'd rub his back and take some of his pain to help ease his breathing well he used his inhaler. Aid and I do it when one of us is hurt or sick to help the other out as well. Plus I used to do it when my cat needed shots too."
Danny then said "you had a cat?"
Ethan nodded and told him the story about his cat well he helped Apollo off the exam table. After herring the story Danny put an arm around him and hugged him and said "man that must have sucked to lose a cat and then your family so soon after that."
Deaton then said "have you ever heard the term "regression to the mean"?"
They all said "no" He looked at them and said "it's a bit of a technical term to say that things will always even out."
Scott then said "so it's like things will always get better?"
Deaton replied "more like things always can't be bad."
Ethan then said "so no matter how bad things get."
Deaton added "or good"
Scott then said "they always come back to the middle."
Deaton then replied "exactly "regression to the mean.""
Ethan then said "that kind of describes Aid and Me; we're like Yin and Yang a bit of god and bad we balance each other."
Deaton said "exactly and the fact that your mirror twins also helps with that too."
Scott then said "mirror twins I thought they were identical, except for the height difference."
Ethan then said "Mirror twins it a term that means that were opposites, it's actually kind of rare in werewolf twins, maybe regular ones too. I'm right handed well Aiden is left so when we stand in front of each other it's like looking into a mirror."
Danny then said "that's kind of cool. I always thought it would be interesting to have a twin."
Ethan then said "I've been one all my life and I've never wanted to be anything but. Aiden is always there when I need him and I'm there if he needs me."
Scott then said "Logan was like that when we were growing up, and Stiles is like that too."
Ethan then said "yeah I can tell by the way Stiles acts around you and you with him."
Danny then said "I have to get him home, "indicating to Apollo, "I'll see you at school tomorrow." He then kissed Ethan and gave him a hug.
Ethan then said "I'll walk you out."
He then helped Danny get Apollo in the back of his car and waved to him as he drove away.
When he came back in Scott was restocking some shelves and he went over to him and said "Scott can I see a picture of your brother again?"
Scott pulled one up again and said as he saw Ethan taking a closer look at the picture "do you recognise him from somewhere"
Ethan then said "if I tell you promise me you won't hold it against Aid and I."
Scott looked at him and said "did you guys bite him or something?"
Ethan then said "remember how this afternoon we mentioned about a few years ago, how when we were with the Alpha that we killed he made us grab someone. I think it may have been him, I can't really be sure because it was kind of dark and he had a hoodie on and we didn't really get a good look at his face but I kind of herd him say to you he was felling drawn here."
Scott then sat down and had his head in his hands and brushed his fingers through his hair and said "you helped someone do that to my brother?"
Ethan replied "look I'm not sure if he was that person or not like I said it was dark and that Alpha made us do that a few times. If it was him and he's alive means he had a good teacher and, him being drawn here might be because you're a True Alpha."
Deaton then said "it's rare but it has happened were siblings have been bitten at different times and because they are family they are pack no matter what. I might know someone where your brother goes to school I can see what he knows if you like. Although I have no guarantee he'll tell me anything Emissaries like to keep their packs secret sometimes."
Ethan then said "yeah they do, we didn't know Miss Morel was Deucalion's until she told us."
Deaton then said "yes she can be sly when she wants to but then again it runs in the family."
Ethan then said "how so?"
Deaton then said "she's my sister."
Ethan then said "is it ok if I don't trust her."
Deaton replied "I'm sure you have reasons too not trust her and I am fine with that."
Scott thought about it as he got a text from his brother asking if Mom was at home today. Scott texted him back saying "yeah she is, she has the day off."
A couple of hours later Scott turned to Ethan and said "I told Stiles to extend the invitation to Aiden to come over for dinner if you guys want , Mom kind of wants to have the pack over for dinner."
Ethan looked at his phone and he had a text from Aiden that said "going to dinner at Scott's?"
Ethan texted him back "he just asked me, you going?"
Aiden sent one back to him and said "yup, I always game for free food."
Ethan texted him back "see you there,"
Ethan then said to Scott "were coming. I hope your Mom's prepared for to more werewolves."
