Under The Moon

Chapter 1: The Alpha and the Omega

"Spencer, Spencer, Spencer!"

Derek Morgan's lips twitched at the sleepy groan that emerged from beneath the blankets "Come on Spencer" he said, patting the body underneath, "up"

There was another groan, chuckling Derek left the bedroom and to the kitchen, he turned on the pre-made coffee pot and turned down the heat for the grits now bubbling in the pot. At the edge of the kitchen laid Clooney. The coffee pot had been running for less then a minute before a sleepy-eyed messy haired Spencer Reid emerged from the room.

"Morning" Derek said as he stirred the grits.

Spencer grunted as he made a bee-line for the coffeepot.

"Not ready yet" Derek said as he got out a frying pan for the sausages.

Spencer pouted and stared at the machine as though doing so would make it drip faster.

"It'll be done soon, go sit down Pup"

"Not a Pup" Spencer grumbled but does go sit at the kitchen table.

Clooney came over and settled down at Spencer's feet, after the coffee was done, Derek turned the cooking sausages over before taking out two mugs, one was a Chicago mug and the other a Doctor Who. He poured coffee, creamer in both, and then an alarming amount of sugar in the Doctor Who mug. Without a word he placed the Doctor Who mug in front of Spencer and went back to cooking, his Chicago mug in one hand.

"How's your leg?" Spencer asked once he was full of coffee.

"Healed" Derek said as he placed the plates of food down on the kitchen table, "what about you?"

Last night full moon had gone fine, the two rolled around in the nearby wooded park, acting like Pups, until the Alpha had arrived and got too friendly with Reid. Derek and the Alpha had gotten into a fight, Derek had been able to chase the Alpha off but not before the Wolf had gotten a bite out of Derek's hind leg.

"I'm fine" Spencer shrugged, "really" he insisted when Derek just gave him a look.

"Alright"

The two finished their breakfast, Derek pretending that he didn't see Spencer sneak Clooney pieces of sausage, after eating the two got dressed, and Derek grabbed the leash.

"Come boy"

Tail wagging, Clooney, who had moved to his doggy bed, got up and hurried over to his owner. He sat and waited patiently for his collar to be leashed. With a glance at Spencer, Derek opened the door and the three of them left the apartment, and headed to the nearby park. Once there, Spencer took his usual spot on the bench, and after taking the unhooked leashed from Derek and placing it on his lap; opened one of his books and began reading. With Clooney by his side, Derek started his jog.

Five minutes later, while he's waiting for Clooney to finish investigating the interesting scent that had gained the canine's attention, a large man came up to stand next to him. The man was a head taller than him, wide shoulders broad shoulders and muscles, dirty blonde hair and green eyes, his scent was musky and with a hint of something feral.

"Good morning Derek" said the man, watching the dog.

"Moring Kuma" Derek said, the corner of his lips curling up.

"Had a good moon last night?" the one called Kuma asked.

"Got into it with an Alpha that got too friendly with Spencer, nothing I couldn't handle, and you?"

Kuma exhaled deeply, Derek turned to him, curiosity in his eyes.

"Last night, a group of the pack and I hunted down two Rogues along the border of Virginia"

Derek frowned, he like everyone else in his community had heard about the recent incline in Rogue sightings. As the highest ranking Pack, the McGee Pack, had investigated and killed any Rouges spotted before they even got to the Virginian border. The fact that one got so close was very worrying.

"We killed the first one, however, the second one got away from the second hunting party. We tracked the scent into the city, from there we lost it"

Derek cursed, Clooney, who had finally lost interest, came trotting back. Curiously, he sniffed at Kuma. The Alpha squatted down to pet the dog. "The Pack is informing everyone, including every government and law enforcement liaison to keep an eye and ear out. And to inform us if the Rogue is spotted" he said as he scratched Clooney behind the ear.

"Any idea why the sudden increase?" Derek asked as he headed back to Spencer, his morning jog forgotten, his pace quicker than what would be considered normal. Kuma stood and followed, matching the other man's pace easily, understanding that the man's urgency was in part to instincts still being strong from the full moon last night.

"No clues so far, at the moment I'm more concerned about the Rogue"

Derek nodded in understanding, a Rogue loose in the city was bad, Rogues were nothing more than wild animals, killing indiscriminately. Thankfully their shifts were controlled by the full moon rather then will, which meant that the McGee Pack had a month until the Rogue shifted again, though it wouldn't make the search any easier.

"Anything Spencer and I can do?" Derek asked as they stepped aside for a pair of joggers.

"Just keep an eye out for now, and keep me informed in case something comes up"

"We will" Derek nodded, "how's your brother Tim?"

"He's doing good, he and Kort are apparently back together"

Derek nearly tripped, "What?" he gaped.

"Yeah, surprised me too" Kuma chuckled.

"….Huh"

Spencer finally came into view, and not at all surprised to see Kuma walking with Derek. Having picked up the Alpha's scent when the wind had blown his way, and part of their conversation the closer they got in range of his sensitive hearing.

"Hey Pup" Kuma greeted.

"Not a Pup" Spencer grumbled, scowling when the Alpha ruffled his hair, "are Tim and Kort really back together?" he then asked.

"Yep, however, he hasn't been by to see any of the Pack"

Spencer snickered and Derek grinned, both knowing why Kort had yet to see any of the McGee pack members. Tim may have forgiven the Alpha, but his parents and siblings have not, at least not yet.

"Please record that meeting" Derek said, "and send it to me"

Kuma laughed, "Consider it sent"

"You two are terrible" Spencer sighed.

Both gave him wolfish grins, making him sigh again.

~.~

It was well known within the BAU that Derek Morgan and Spencer Reid were brothers, the Morgan family adopting the good doctor at the age of twelve, though if asked, the two will tell you they've known each other long before then. It was well known that Derek was very protective of his baby brother, and it was also well known that the two were close.

"Too close" some would whisper.

Even their own teammates would give them looks, looks that appeared whenever a touch lingered, brows raised when they would stand so close. And silent conversations, smiles and hand gestures were met with something within the range of amused exasperation. It made Derek' and Garcia's relationship seem normal. It probably didn't help that Spencer allowed Derek more physical contact then others.

"You know, this is one of the reasons people here think you guys are sleeping together" JJ said.

Derek stopped nuzzling Spencer's neck to glare at JJ who merely gave a cheeky grin.

"The door was closed" Derek grumbled, tightening his hold around Spencer's waist.

"And this is a disused office" JJ pointed out, "why are you so grumpy today?" she then asked when Derek growled at her, "is this about the Rogue?"

"That" Spencer confirmed as he shoved the still growling Derek face into his neck, fingers coming up to play with one ear while he made a soft reassuring sound, "and we had run in with an over friendly Alpha last night"

JJ winced; the day after the full moon was tough for all Wolves and others who lived by its pull, instincts hard to control, and making tempers high. For the Alphas of their kind, it was tougher. JJ was surprised that Derek even let Spencer come into work today with the Rouge running around and what had happened last night. Hell, she was lucky Will let her and Henry leave the house after they got the information about the Rouge.

"We got a case, on my way to tell the others, do I need to wait a few more minutes before doing so?" JJ then asked, the Team didn't know that the three were Werewolves, and at the moment they want to keep it that way.

"We'll meet you there" Spencer said.

JJ nodded, and closed the door. As her footsteps faded down the hall, Spencer rubbed his cheek against Derek's head before he coaxed the Alpha to look at him.

"We have work to do Brother Alpha" he smiled, "our Pack needs us with a clear head"

With a sound that some would call a purr, Spencer leaned and rubbed their noses together and kept on until Derek rubbed back and pulled away. The Alpha blinked a few times, shook his head then after a deep exhale nodded.

"I'm good"

With a slightly tilted head, Spencer studied him, then the good doctor nodded and hopped off the desk his brother had placed him on when they had entered the room. Together they left, and headed to the conference room, ten minutes later they were up in the air; heading for Columbus, Ohio. After the team spent a good thirty minutes going over the Unsub that was leaving legless bodies all over Columbus, Spencer settled back down next to Derek after getting coffee, his brother had his headphones on and eyes closed. It was a mediation that the Alpha had been taught as a Pup, the soft R&B music helped with whatever left over instincts his sibling was having trouble controlling. With his leg pressed against Derek's, Spencer picked up his book, opened it to the page he left off on when he went to get coffee and began his own mediation.

Over an hour later, they touch down, and head straight for the police station, upon meeting the investigator in charge of the case Jonathon Kelp, it took the team seconds to realize that the man was racist.

"This is going to be a long case" Spencer winced when Derek's lips nearly curled into a snarl after the man so obviously dismissed the Alpha.

~.~

Four days later, Spencer followed Derek inside the Alpha's home, both emotional and physically tired. They dumped their things, not caring where, their guns and credentials were placed in their proper place. Clooney was greeted with mumbles; shoes were toed off as they headed for the bed. In unison, they flopped face fist into the mattress, with a groan, Derek rolled over, half his body on top of Spencer who grunted but said nothing else.

"Thank you for not mauling the investigator" Spencer said, voice muffled by the pillow.

"Hotch didn't deserve the paperwork"

Spencer chuckled, wiggling until he was completely and comfortably laying underneath his brother, the Alpha rumbling to his brother's happy purr like sound.

"I'm going to have to go to my apartment to pick up a few things"

"We'll do it tomorrow" Derek said, sleep lacing his voice as he rubbed his cheek against Spencer's head.

Tomorrow was the mandatory day off the team had when they had out of state cases. It was a good time as any to get whatever Spencer wanted or needed from the Omega's apartment. Both knew that Spencer staying with his brother while the Rogue was out there was for the best, the last thing either of them needed was Derek distracted, especially while working on a case.

As his brother's body slowly got heavy with sleep, Spencer went over the mental list of things he would need from his apartment, he also decided to treat his brother to lunch; maybe they could invite Will, JJ and Henry. He also wanted to find out more about the Rogue problem.

"Go to sleep and give that big brain of yours a rest Spencer"

After poking his brother the best he could in retaliation at the slight tease, Spencer slept.
