As promised...

I hope you like my latest OC!

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Wolf, but if I did... there would be a lot of shirtless!Derek


Your hand fits in mine
Like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind
It was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me

Little Things - One Direction

This song is just utterly adorable and so is this next chapter... I love Isaac so much


Chapter Five: A New Side To Someone Old

Isaac Lahey had everything he had ever wanted. He was probably the only beta that treated the bite like a gift, literally. He was eternally grateful to Derek for saving him, which the rest of them found a bit strange. Sure, being a werewolf was great... but it also sucked. Secretly the rest of the pack thought Isaac had become slightly cockier than usual over the past few weeks, and none of them knew why... apart from Derek.

However, Isaac was still haunted by his past. Some nights he would wake up screaming for help, screaming for his brother, Camden. Derek spent hours beside Isaac's bed, trying to calm the young boy down when he'd had one of his night terrors. Derek never told the rest of the pack this. He knew exactly what Isaac was going through. He'd suffered from night terrors too, not so long ago. It wasn't exactly something you could control.

So it was one night when the rest of the pack was out, that Isaac came to Derek with something he wanted to share. Towards the rest of the pack, Derek was cold and uncaring. Towards Isaac, Derek showed compassion. This was strange to the rest of the pack. Anyway, Isaac told Derek about someone he'd met - a girl from school.

"She's pretty freaking special, Derek." He'd said.

Derek had simply smiled at him in encouragement.

"Like, I can't even explain it, but when I look at her... When I look at her I feel like I can't even breathe. I'm sitting in the middle of class and all I can hear is her heartbeat singing to me. Out of thousands of heartbeats in school, the only one my body cares about is hers..."

Derek didn't say much. He knew exactly how Isaac felt; he knew exactly how much his wolf ached to get out, too. He hadn't said anything to Isaac about "mating" or anything. He didn't want to scare him or make him afraid. The last thing Isaac needed was to be discouraged. Derek was finally glad that Isaac had found someone that made him truly happy. When Isaac made him promise to not tell anyone, Derek kept his promise.

So, after the rest of the pack was at Alexia's house watching her while she slept, he took the chance to ask Isaac about his friend.

"So, uh, how is your friend?" Derek asked.

Isaac blushed. His face turning beetroot, the corners of his mouth turning into a giant smile.

Derek laughed, "Good, then?"

"You have no idea," Isaac paused, "She doesn't know about me, though. But she definitely suspects something. She knows I'm different, but she doesn't seem to care..."

"That's good. I wouldn't object, you know, if you wanted to tell her. It's your choice in the end." Derek said simply. He knew how hard it was to keep a secret like that from someone.

Isaac nodded, "I know... I'm just surprised how none of the others have figured it out yet. Surely they can smell her off me?"

"Not really... All humans have the same basic scent usually. Once you become familiar with one's individual scent, then you can smell it and recognise it for yourself. You just smell like the rest of them do after a day of school." Derek said.

Isaac raised his eyebrows.

"Really? That's pretty cool! I was always waiting for them to catch me out, but they didn't seem to notice anything."

Derek shrugged and let it drop. He was partly the reason none of them knew anything, but he wasn't going to tell Isaac that. He just wanted Isaac to be happier, and he was.

...

The bell rang for the end of the period and Isaac got up and practically ran out of the classroom. Sitting for an hour listening to his stupid History teacher droning on was absolute hell with her sitting behind him. He could practically feel the eyes on the back of his neck. His hair stood on end as he remembered the feel of her hands on his neck, the feel of her light breath on his face...

He turned around at the doorway and Rebecca was staring at him. He was lucky that none of the other werewolves were in this class.

"Carpark" she whispered under her breath as his eyes met hers. He smiled to himself and held five fingers up, indicating how long he'd take to get his stuff from his locker. She nodded and he turned off and walked down the corridor.

It wasn't like he was ashamed of her, it was the exact opposite; he was afraid she'd be ashamed of him. He didn't want to publically out them as a couple – yet. He wanted to make sure that she reciprocated his feelings before taking anything further. All his senses told him how she felt, but Derek had once been fooled and Derek was much more experienced than him.

He arrived at his locker and so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't realise Scott was beside him until the beta hit him on the arm lightly. Isaac jumped and nearly yelled, while Scott had a mischievous look on his face.

"Dude, what's up?" Scott asked, "You don't usually seem this tetchy..."

Isaac shoved his unneeded books back into his locker and slammed it shut before replying.

"Nothing, I have to get going now. I'll see you all later." He said.

Isaac walked off, leaving Scott watching his friend with a concerned expression. Scott knew something was up, something was different. Isaac was being a lot more secretive than usual today, but Scott had no idea what was wrong. He knew better than to mention it to the rest of the pack... they were slowly becoming more paranoid over everything.

Scott shook his head to clear his thoughts and made his way to his English class. He hoped that Allison was in. He hadn't seen her all day and was becoming really worried.

Allison... suddenly nothing else mattered to Scott.

...

Isaac walked out of the building and made his way to a blue Toyota Prius. Rebecca was inside. Isaac could hear the unsteady rhythm of her heart, literally skipping a beat now and then. He could smell the lemon bodywash she used, the subtly flowery perfume she used every day and the excitement washing over her. She was lightly drumming her fingers on the steering wheel and muttering under her breath to herself. Isaac breathed out quickly and opened the car door and slotted himself in.

She just looked at him in amazement, "Where did you come from?"

"I just wanted to surprise you," he paused, "It was worth it. Your face was hilarious."

"Very funny..." she began to start the engine, "Where are we going today? My house?"

Isaac shook his head, "Nope... My house... If-if that's okay?"

"Sure. Any particular reason? You just said that-"

He cut in, "I know, but there's something I need to tell you. I think you partially know... about me."

She looked away and began concentrating on the road as he spoke. She knew that something was up with him... she'd always known it. Ever since the day after his father died, Rebecca had always known that Isaac Lahey was not the same boy he used to be. She accepted it, though... She'd grown to love it.

"I, uh, you don't need to tell me, Isaac. Really, it doesn't bother me. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do, you know that? I trust you, I will always trust you." She said.

"But I haven't been very deserving of your trust. I've lied to you, lots of times..." he mused thoughfully.

"And I've lied about not doing my homework sometimes... In the end neither lies really hurt anybody, did they?"

And that was why Isaac knew that he needed to tell her. She deserved to know. She was the only person apart from Derek who knew him, for what he really was. She'd accepted him, even though he acted cocky and ignorant to everyone else. She'd been with him when he'd opened up about his father; she'd been there for him when no one else was. She didn't deserve to be dragged into the world of the supernatural, but maybe that would make it easier... The lies could only last for so long.


Just incase you were unsure, Isaac's "friend" is Rebecca!
