Maia was sitting in one of the half-finished train cars, zipping up her black leather boots up over the legs of tight black jeans. She wanted to get a start on the day before it was completely lost like it had been the day before where she, Derek and Isaac had made love in every position possible- it had been an easy day together, the three of them laughing and snacking on junk food between their intimate moments. It was being part of a pack that made them feel like family… but something more where they could be honest and candid and open with each other.
She stood and pulled on a blue lace tank top, feeling the stiffness in her body from sleeping between her mate and their fledgling, but knowing that it was worth it. Maia brushed her hair out before putting it up, Derek moving around the warehouse as he dressed. "So you're going to look at this… her name's Erica, right," she asked offhandedly, her mate smirking. "There's no need to get all bent out of shape about us possibly bringing in some new blood, Mai."
"Yeah, female blood," Maia replied begrudgingly, Derek looking at Isaac's sleeping form.
"Oh yeah? What about your new pet Isaac then? You don't see me being jealous over the fact that you're sleeping with your new plaything," Derek said as Maia snorted, kicking at his backsides. "That's only because I'm sleeping with you too. Now go have fun with your new concubine." Derek grinned at her and placed a chaste kiss upon her lips before going to where Isaac laid and ruffling his curly hair. He then grabbed his jacket and walked out, Maia staring at her Beta for sometime longer.
She bent down over him and pressed a kiss to his forehead, Isaac barely stirring, "I'm going out to get us some food Isaac. Stay in the warehouse- I won't be gone long."
He nodded and rolled over, a loud snore Isaac's only response.
Derek sat outside of the school, searching for the one named Erica. Isaac had described her: petite with long, frizzy blonde hair and a quiet demeanor and Derek had been quick to tell him that no matter their 'quiet demeanor', all women were secretly hellcats on the inside- Maia was living proof of that.
And then Derek saw her, dressed in a pair of leggings and an oversized sweatshirt, the expression on her face one of unease as she disappeared into the school.
"Hmm, Isaac may actually be of some use after all…"
Maia walked back into the warehouse with her arm full of grocery bags, looking at the massive pile of blankets and pillows that was their makeshift bed before finding herself on her back, her heart racing as Isaac pinned her to the ground. She had never been caught off-guard like that and panted, the burning amber eyes cooling as they searched Maia's face.
"Are you alright," Isaac asked, still on edge as he helped her off of the ground.
"I will be once my shoulder heals," Maia said through her teeth, dropping the bags and reaching up to snatch her shoulder back into the correct position. She then looked at Isaac's shirtless form, admiring the way his jeans hung around his hips as she licked her lips. "You know, I really don't have that much of an issue with you putting me on my back…"
Isaac grinned and looked down at her, his eyes fixed on the clip she had keeping her hair up. He reached up and tugged it lightly, Maia shaking her head gently so her curls would fall. "Much better. Now, what were you saying about being on your back?"
Derek was bored with waiting when he saw flashing lights in his rearview mirror, turning to see an ambulance rushing into the parking lot. He watched them go in and waited to see who they were wheeling out, fairly irritated when he saw that it was Erica. Derek did not like it when things he wanted got away from him and he would not let it happen this time, starting the Camaro and backing out of the parking lot to follow the ambulance.
She was teaching him all the ways of sexuality- rather Isaac was learning for himself, having pinned her down and with the fleeting thought of completely devouring her, buried his face between her thighs once he had destroyed her pants. Maia had one long leg draped over his shoulder and the other wrapped around his chest, her hips raised as she pressed herself into his wanting mouth. Her eyes were closed and her hand was threaded in his hair, her chest rising and falling sharply. She jerked in response to his ministrations and Isaac hummed, sending a vibration rushing through her body. "Oh, my… Isaac-" Her cell phone started ringing but the Beta had no intentions of stopping, seeing how she twisted and grabbed for the remnants of her pants to dig in the pockets. "I'm here Derek," she replied breathily, looking down at the devilish blue eyes that locked with hers, teasing even as he thrust his tongue deep within her.
"You're not having sex without me, are you baby," Derek asked, hearing Maia panting and moaning through the phone. "Not exactly- shit!" He could only imagine how Isaac was pawing at his mate and shook his head: even when they had first been together, though it had been the Beta's first time Isaac had had no qualms whatsoever about intimacy. Derek listened for awhile longer before chuckling once, "Sounds like he's a chip off the old block-"
"What do you need Derek," Maia asked almost irritably before she sought to pull away from Isaac. "Give me a minute- I'll have you between my teeth if you don't let me finish a complete thought!"
She rolled over onto her stomach and attempted to catch her breath, Derek hearing the extra background noise cease. "That's better. Erica's had a bad seizure and they've brought her to Beacon Hills Memorial. Now I know hospital security is shit- I can't think of a better opportunity to claim another pack member. Do you want me to bring her into the fold," he asked, staring up at the hospital. "Actually, I do- but I want to be there to watch you do it. Give me fifteen minutes," his mate replied, Derek rolling his eyes as he leaned back against the hood of his car.
"See you in twenty."
Maia pressed the 'Call End' button in the same moment that Isaac buried himself inside of her, taking her from behind. He remembered Derek's words the night he was given the Bite and smiled impishly to himself, thinking of how drastically things had changed. Not only had he gotten the chance to make love to Maia- many times- Isaac had done it with Derek's full knowledge and actual consent. And he was glad that he could have her like this; Isaac had never looked at any of the girls his age because they had never appealed to his senses… and Maia appealed to him in every way, shape and form.
He dug his fingers into her hips, hearing her panting as they meshed, melted and became one. Isaac ran his hand up Maia's back, seeing the long jagged scars there and wondering who had thought to harm her. Maia gasped out as he fisted his hand in her hair and pulled, making her arch back as he sunk into her.
"You are mine," Isaac panted in her ear, his hips flexing as he filled her. "You are ours."
Their bodies moved together, the young Beta realizing that it didn't feel the same without Derek- neither better nor worse, just different. She recognized the difference as well, knowing that she and her mate had to fight for dominance while Isaac seemed more than content to simply be on the same level with her. They moaned together and he began to thrust harder, faster, still panting in her ear as he began to salivate at the fact that she was as close to her completion as he was. Maia could tell by the way his breathing hitched that he was close, feeling his burning fingers press into her buttocks as he attempted to keep her close. Isaac threw his head back and roared at the top of his lungs as he thrust into her one final time, finishing within her even as Maia tightened around him over and over. They stayed entwined for a few moments longer before Isaac pulled away, pressing a soft kiss to the back of Maia's shoulders.
"I guess you have to go," he panted, rolling over onto his back as he collapsed onto their makeshift bed. Maia nodded wordlessly before she stood shakily, going to her clothes and pulling off her boots to shimmy into a new pair of jeans.
"I'll be back a little later, Isaac," Maia said, bending down to kiss him after pulling on her jacket.
He released her shortly and watched her walk out of the door, biding his time until Maia and Derek came home.
Derek stood when Maia pulled into the parking spot beside him, appraising her appearance before he nodded. "When we get back to the warehouse, I want to fuck you- in front of him. I have to show him who's boss," Derek said half-teasingly, receiving a deserving glare from his mate. "He knows you're the 'boss', no need to drive it home. Isaac drove it home once today and I'm still sore…"
The two Alphas moved through the hospital relatively undetected, finding Erica in an exam room. Derek took hold of the hospital bed and began wheeling her down the hall, Maia attempting to find an empty room where they could talk. He looked down at the girl as she attempted to move, seeing her absolutely terrified at the sight of him. "Lie down," Derek said, his voice gentle and smooth. Maia pushed open the door to the morgue, finding it empty and motioning for Derek to enter, "Here." He pushed the bed to the middle of the floor and took off his jacket, seeing his mate post herself against the wall. Erica sat up as he moved down where her feet were, never taking her eyes off of him. She decided that he was handsome, even with his slightly deranged little smirk, the older man leaning down to watch her more carefully.
"Who are you," Erica asked, unable to look in his eyes.
"Let's just say we have a mutual friend," Derek replied before moving even closer to her, Maia adjusting herself. She was uncomfortable to say the least, but knew that this was a necessary evil in recruiting for their pack- maybe it was how Derek felt about Isaac at first. "You get a warning right before you have a seizure, don't you," he questioned, searching her face. "Its called an aura... like a metallic taste in my mouth."
The Alpha male sensed her fear, heard the change in her heartbeat and shook his head, "You don't have to lie to me Erica. What's it really taste like?"
"It- it tastes like…"
"Blood," Maia finished for her, Erica turning to look at the older woman. She was incredibly beauty- more beautiful that Erica herself could ever hope to be- her eyes hazel with a deep red tinting. Derek captured her attention again, his hand wrapping around one of her ankles. "What if I told you that all of… this could simply go away? The side-effects, the symptoms…" He massaged her calves for a moment before pulling her legs apart and standing in between them, bringing her to him in a blinding motion that had her nearly hyperventilating. Derek stroked her cheek, seeing all of the potential through the hair and the acne and the fear. "All of it. And what if, all of those things not only went away but everything else got even better?"
Erica knew that what he offered couldn't possibly be true, but asked anyway, "How?"
And then his eyes were glowing crimson, the fingertips on her cheek suddenly hot and tipped with claws.
"Let me show you."
He turned her head, brushing back the hair that stuck to the thin sheen of sweat there and inhaling her deep, heady scent. The smell of her growing arousal mixed with her fear in a way that made Derek's teeth rip through his gums, the Alpha looking over the pale shoulder at his wife. Maia was simply watching, a mildly contented look on her face before she moved forward to push Derek back, "You didn't tell her everything Derek. For all she knows, we could be a couple of sparkly vampires." He felt his eyes widened, realizing what he had almost done and phased back, panting. "Almost got ahead of myself there-"
"What are you," Erica cried out, pulling her knees up to her chest. Maia stroked a single finger down her spine and leaned into her ear, breathing quietly. "Do you even really care? We smell you, that wetness growing between your thighs- you would have taken whatever he had to offer without a second thought. But we werewolves operate by a certain… code, in which the Bite can only be offered to those who truly understand what they are receiving." Erica breathed heavily, looking at Derek's form, "But he said that it would take it away- and whatever he has to offer… is worth it to be rid of this curse."
Maia looked at Derek and nodded, the Alpha before her allowing himself to half-phase. "We are what you will call Alphas, the leaders of our pack. When you take a look at my mate Maia, you will see what you will grow to be- perfection in every sense of the word. What you see before you is a creature stronger, more powerful than any normal man could ever hope to be and I'm not even fully phased. But every blessing has its conditions and unfortunately ours is the Argent family, the hunters. They are dangerous… but with your pack behind you, you have noting to fear. And as a wolf- if that's what you choose to become- you will be everything that you have ever wished you could be. Beautiful, strong… whole," Derek said, a sensual sort of growl underneath every syllable that he spoke. They were both surprised and thoroughly pleased when Erica gave her neck to Derek, asking for the Bite, "Please!"
"I have a more appropriate place to put this."
Derek moved her onto her side and bared her supple hip, Maia holding her head down as he dug his teeth into the soft flesh of her hip. The changing werewolf gritted her teeth together to keep from screaming, wrapping her arms around the plush thigh beside her head. Erica squeezed her eyes shut, her hand reaching for something and finding long fingers. Maia held her hand as the girl in her lap attempted to struggle, seeing her eyes roll back in her head slightly. "She's seizing," the Alpha female said to her mate, Derek holding Erica's legs. "She's not seizing- not fully. It's the venom rushing through her brain and God only knows what its doing." But God wasn't the only one, because Erica could feel unbearable heat building in her head, putting all of the jumbled nerves and neurons right. And then something else was growing within her, sort of like a sensation that she thought pregnancy would feel like- a small presence taking residence in the pit of her stomach and growing there. But the presence… that primal sense that she knew was her wolf didn't just take home in her stomach- it spread itself throughout Erica's entire being, the venom that was apart of it rushing through her veins and changing what was already there, changing everything.
And then she collapsed, falling into unconsciousness in the arms of her Alphas.
Derek met Maia's eyes, blood on his lips as he looked down at their new fledgling. She lunged forward as best she could and captured his lips in hers, Derek fisting his hand in her hair. "We have to… warehouse. Now," he panted, feeling himself on the verge of phasing. Adrenaline rushed through his body at the fact that he had just brought another wolf into their pack and Maia was not doing anything to help the predicament he found himself in.
He hefted Erica's small body into his arms and followed Maia out of the hospital, still smiling.
