They made him go to school the next day, Maia and Derek driving by many times to keep watch over him while trying to get their den ready for the full moon. It had always been their plan to chain Isaac up for his first change because he couldn't possibly be set free even in the woods, not with how tenuous his control was. Derek thought that they would stay with him until he lost consciousness or changed back, before going to fulfill their own needs- but Maia had no intentions of leaving her pup.

Maia pulled up at the school as lacrosse practice was starting, Derek wary at her side, "He really shouldn't be on the field. The moon might not be up yet, but he can feel its pull just as well as you or I can."

"He won't phase," Maia said, leaning into her mate's side. "I have more faith in him than that."

The two sat in the stands before seeing Scott start to hit each one of his teammates and knock them to the ground, systematically trying to sniff something out. "Shit. He's sensed Isaac. He'll turn," the Alpha male said, starting to stand. But Maia pulled him back down, shaking her head, "No, wait and let's see how Isaac reacts."

Scott looked up at Derek and Maia, baring his teeth as his eyes finally laid on Isaac.

And then their attention was pulled away, seeing the coach call their Beta over to the fence where two police officers were waiting.

"Goddamn it-"

Derek wrapped his arm around Maia in a vice, staring at Isaac as he pulled her off of the field. "I know you feel the need to go after him, but think Mai- think! Tonight is the full moon and we can't get Isaac out of jail if we're sitting in there beside him. We could fight off the change, but he has no hope of doing that, so let's go and figure a way to get him out," Derek said, seeing the cuffs being snapped around Isaac's wrists. The young Beta knew that they couldn't act with so many witnesses around, but held on to the hope that his Alphas would come for him.

And as long as Maia's heart was beating, she would never rest until Isaac was back with them.

The Alpha pair were just getting into the Camaro when Scott hit the side of the car, Derek roaring in anger- no one attacked his mate or his car.

"Derek-"

"Get in," Derek ordered, reaching across Maia and opening the door. The teen set his jaw and pointed to the squad car as it sped away, Isaac turning to look back at them. "Do you see that Derek? Do you see what you did," Scott asked harshly, Derek glaring at him. "Yeah Scott, I do and its my fault- I know that. Now get in the car, and come and help us." The young Omega was still resisting, pacing beside the Camaro, "No Derek, I've got a better idea: I'm going to call a lawyer because a lawyer might have a better chance of getting him out before the moon goes up-" Derek nearly ripped his steering wheel out of the car itself, biting his tongue before composing himself and talking to Scott in as calm a voice as he could muster. "Not when they do a search of the house because whatever they think isn't half as bad as what's in that house- its much worse. A lot worse. So since all the Beacon Hills wolves are our shared responsibility, get in the car and help us get him out before he puts himself and the rest of us in danger! Get in the goddamn car McCall!"

Scott looked at Maia and she moved into the backseat, inclining her head to him. "Please. Help us."

The trio raced to Isaac's house and Maia tore off the police tape, going through the house and destroying all signs of abuse- anything that would give Isaac intent to murder. While she was busy upstairs, Derek and Scott went into the basement, the Alpha inhaling the scent that Isaac had left behind when he was last here: fear.

"What is this," Scott asked, looking at the massive deep-freezer.

"Use your imagination McCall."

The Omega opened up the freezer and reached out to touch the bloody scratch marks that covered the inside. "Air holes… for when he'd lock Isaac in here," he murmured, Derek nodding and looking at his former Beta. "I need you to call up your Scooby Doo gang and get them to help us Scott because the hunters have already heard about Lahey's murder and they'll go after Isaac. I can get the police off of his back, but I can't stop the hunters and I can't get him out of the jail at the same time-"

"Derek, I'll be of no use to you tonight, not with the full moon. I'll call Allison and Stiles- he should be getting out of detention soon. Use Maia to your advantage: no one knows her and no one is going to be suspicious. But you have to be ready to move Isaac- we have to wait until dark and that's cutting it close."

The Alpha was proud of how quickly Scott could think on his feet, reaching out and gripping his shoulder: he'd have Scott in his pack if it was the last thing he did.

"Maia!"

Derek and his mate returned to the warehouse, rigging up the chains that would hold Isaac once they got him out of the jail. Maia changed into a pair of pants and a nearly see-through black top, pilling her hair on top of her head as Derek watched her, feeling his wolf rear up inside of him. He crossed over to where she was in a single step, licking her throat before attacking her mouth, feeling her struggling against him. "Derek, we can't- goddamn it Derek Hale! Stop," she said, even as she kissed him back just as hard and demanding. Then he found himself being thrown into the side of a defunct train car, panting angrily as he looked into the burning red flames that were Maia's eyes. "Let's get Isaac first and then we'll mate, alright," Maia asked, her voice layered thick with the law of the Alpha. Derek stood swiftly, panting as he brushed himself off, "Then let's get it done. The sun's been down for awhile now and my wolf's fighting to escape."

Maia came out of the warehouse, seeing a Jeep parked there. Her hand flashed down to her side, claws out and teeth bared. "Whoa! No, no, no- I'm not the enemy here! I'm Stiles," the kid in the Jeep said, jumping out and holding his hands out to Maia. Derek walked up behind his wife and grabbed the tops of her arms, "He's… a friend, Mai."

"And I'm trying to help you get to Isaac in time. Allison saw one of the hunters leave with wolfsbane bullets- she's on her way to stop him now, but we still have to get down to the PD and break him out. And if you love your Camaro, you'll let me drive because I have a feeling Isaac's going to tear it up," Stiles said, motioning to the Jeep. Derek climbed in beside him and Maia hopped into the back, standing up to see everything around her. Stiles drove them to the police department, turning off his lights and exhaling. He was jittery as he spoke, Derek having to refrain himself from ripping into him like a small animal, "So the keys to every cell are in a password-protected lock box in my father's office. Problem is getting past the front desk. But still, its not like we can just go in there and walk out with a murderer."

"Accused murderer. He didn't do it," Derek said before making to get out of the car. "Whoa! Where do you think you're going," Stiles asked, in disbelief over the Alpha male's blind actions. Derek glared and looked at Stiles, pointing to the building before them. "I'm going in there and I'm going to go get my Beta before he phases and decides to attack one of your human friends. Look, I won't hurt the woman working the front desk- I'll just go in and talk to her, distract her," he replied as he stared in the window and nodded. "You think that's a wise choice with your harpy girlfriend back there? Fine- try some thing out on me. What are you going to open with?"

When Derek glared at him Stiles sighed, "I don't trust you Derek. I feel like you're going to go in there and punch her in the face-"

"I'm thinking about punching you in the face."

"Guys," Maia said sharply, looking up at the rising moon. She felt fire rush through her veins and looked away from the moon, struggling to keep herself from changing. Maia clenched her teeth, the skin of her knuckles stretching bloodlessly over the bone as she jumped out of the bed of the Jeep. Stiles instructed her to go around back as Derek walked into the precinct, the Alpha male turning on the charm for the rather attractive woman at the desk. "Good evening; how can I help… you," she asked before looking up into the hypnotizing blue-green eyes, finding herself flustered. Derek smiled at the female cop, making sure his features were morphed into the perfect mask of pleasant shock, "Hi." She smiled and started to flirt, answering back in turn with, "Hi." He hit the counter lightly and fought looking directly into her eyes at first before enrapturing her, knowing that she was as good as done. "Actually, I had a question, but I, uh, seem to have forgotten. I wasn't really expecting someone-" The woman took the defensive and looked at Derek, "Someone who looks like me?"

He chuckled and shook his head, trying to seem embarrassed.

"Well, I was going to say someone so beautiful… but I guess that'd be the same thing."

Derek watched as Stiles moved into the back, keeping the desk officer distracted. Stiles went into his father's office and attempted to get the keys, strangely finding them missing. He then tried to go back to where the cells were, one of his father's deputies coming out of a side room. They made eye contact and then Stiles' eyes flashed down to where he held a syringe full of black liquid and then to a broken arrow shaft that was protruding from the sheriff's thigh- he was the hunter. Stiles sought to scream out for Derek before he was put in a half-Nelson, the hunter dragging him back where the cells were. When they got there, the hunter looked for Isaac, finding the cell broken.

"Oh shit-"

The hunter dropped Stiles and the teen scrambled behind the desk, watching as the half-changed Isaac attacked the man. His fists flew at an almost blinding speed, pummeling the hunter before he threw him against the wall. Once the hunter was incapacitated, he turned his gaze onto Stiles, baring his teeth at the boy who had tried to save his life. And then Maia was there, tackling Isaac with all of the power in her body as he lunged at Stiles. The two werewolves fought as Derek rushed into the room, pulling the Beta away from Maia and roaring for him to back down. Stiles panted as he looked up at Derek, seeing Isaac cowering before him.

"How'd you do that," Stiles asked as Derek helped him off of the ground.

"I'm the Alpha."

His mate went to Isaac and pulled his arm around her neck, hefting him off of the ground as best she could. "Come on Isaac. We have to go before you phase- Isaac, get up," she panted, Derek coming to help her. They drug him out to the streets, struggling not to phase as well as they tried to make it back to the warehouse in time for the moon to rise fully. They all felt it take its place in the center of the sky, Isaac unable to fight it anymore. Derek threw him through the door of the warehouse as Maia fell to the pavement, scraping her hands and feeling the burning healing take place almost instantaneously. Blinding, white-hot pain burst behind her eyes and her entire body arched up from the ground, Maia hardly feeling as Derek grabbed her arm and pulled her into the shelter of the warehouse. A scream broke from Isaac's lips as he laid between Maia and Derek, the agony burning through his body. He went absolutely rigid as the pain ripped its way up his spine, his bones making a sickening crunch as they snapped and twisted and shifted. He rolled over onto his hands and knees, howling out a cry of pain. Derek roared as his ribs pulled apart, his claws digging into the concrete underneath him, his clothes ripping apart as his wolf tore at his insides. Maia was there suddenly, snapping and snarling at him, Derek phasing completely. It was the moment he had been waiting for all week, the moment he sought to dominate his woman and feed her insatiable sex drive in a manner that fulfilled him and made him feel… powerful. Derek mounted her, pushing Maia down against the concrete and locking his teeth around the back of her neck.

Isaac had his eyes locked on the two wolves before him, feeling half-there and half… somewhere else, his mind operating in a dual manner that felt insanely foreign. He managed to take a weak step forward, Derek barking and roaring at him to back away. But Isaac only had eyes for Maia, seeing her underneath her mate and pulling forward to her. Maia's wolf broke away from Derek's jaws, his hold slipping on her as she pulled to meet Isaac in the same moment, the Alpha male going after her again. In a clash of sinew and skin and fur and snapping jaws, the three were together, moving as one, Maia between them, her eyes closed as she was surrounded by passion and heat. Derek gave up his control momentarily because he couldn't even be mad at Isaac- he knew the need that the young Beta found himself in, the hurt bright, piercing, splitting and that he found his solace in Maia.

It was all too clear that she had wanted him as well and for her, Derek could share… at least once a month.

Maia woke up first, wanting to stretch out but finding it nearly impossible as she was pinned between two rock-hard bodies. Her mate was pressed firmly against her backside, one hand cupping her breast possessively as Isaac had his stomach against hers, his fingers tangled in her hair and one of his legs wedged tightly between her thighs. She was confused before the memories of the night came rushing back, the female's skin flushing. Maia was both delighted and in awe as she gazed into Isaac's face in front of her own before craning her neck the best she could to stare at Derek behind her. He opened his eyes to greet her, his legs tangled in those of Maia and Isaac's, kissing his mate's shoulder as she reached back to stroke his hip. "Good morning," he said gruffly, releasing her breast to pull up her other hand and pressing a kiss to her palm.

"Morning. I, uh, I think my wolf went a little crazy last night-"

"Don't even try to bullshit me," Derek said, smirking. "You wanted me and you wanted him. You got us both Maia and you enjoyed it… hell, we all enjoyed it, so there's no point in being embarrassed."

Maia rested her head on Derek's arm and sighed, "We should feel a little guilty, though. He is only seventeen after all and I'm pretty sure I stole his innocence last night…" Her mate laughed and reached across her, popping Isaac in the arm hard enough to jolt the teen awake. "What the- Jesus Christ, Derek. Break my arm why don't you," Isaac groaned, still half-asleep as the two Alphas looked down at him. He then realized exactly where he was and opened one eye, the couple grinning at him, "Why do I suddenly feel like a rabbit caught between two hawks?"

Isaac sought to shift himself, receiving pained protests from both Derek and Maia, the Beta laughing to himself. "I'm sorry, I'm just uncomfortable. My body feels… strange, like all of my muscles and tendons are loose, and my organs have shifted into the weirdest places," he said, Maia dragging her finger down his side. "Yeah, but the soreness is satisfying, isn't it?" Isaac couldn't answer her as he found himself speechless, trying to remember a time when he was this happy- but he had never been this happy because he had been miserable all his life. Derek watched his face carefully and gripped Maia's shoulder, "Isaac… you're crying." The young wolf swiped at his eyes but Maia was already there, licking the tears off of his cheek.

"I just realized for the first time that I'm happy."

He sought Derek's permission before he kissed Maia, pulling her shoulders down so that she was back between them and then their already entwined bodies took up a natural rhythm, the three animals indulging in the most primal of things. Maia was amused by how well they fit together, the places were they touched and pressed against each other seeming seamless, and most importantly, the way in which Isaac and Derek shared her- Isaac respected their bond and respected Derek for who he was as his Alpha while Maia's mate allowed him to share this without so much as glaring at the Beta. She wondered if they would have to redefine what their relationship was, if they would have to rediscover the important things like sleeping and making love.

And then she was distracted, being pulled to a place beyond words between the man who had captured her heart and the boy she sought to save.
