"Where are you taking me? I want Scott,"

"Scott isn't here. If he were here, you wouldn't have almost been taken by the reptile... you don't even know what's going on, do you," Derek muttered as he found a small creek behind his house. He tossed Stiles in it, washing the Kanima's pee off him. "Now, tell me who the Kanima is," Derek looked into Stiles' eyes, "Fuck!" He pinched the bridge of his nose as Stiles' eyes were still pink.

"Let me go, Derek!" Stiles shouted, finally having enough of being manhandled, even if his body did love it. He pulled back, trying to back out of Derek's grip, but it only made Derek turn on him, snarling at him to submit. Stiles wasn't one of his Betas. Stiles glared back at the Alpha, "Why are everyone's eyes pink," Stiles demanded. Derek didn't answer and just dragged Stiles, if he was walking or not, to a bigger body of water.

Claiming a mate was different for every species. Vampires would imprint by biting the human, werewolves would mark their mate with their bite, and reptiles would pee on theirs. It was like a love potion; the human didn't have to have any feelings for them. Their fluid had a pheromone that would make the human claim whoever they made eye contact with, as most reptiles had Human Masters. The Kanima Master had been leaving venom in Stiles' Stab Wounds. This would almost guarantee that Stiles obeyed the Master when they communicated. Derek couldn't tell what Stiles' other scars had been from. Though he hated the boy, he was intrigued. Derek found a spring and picked Stiles up when he refused to get in the water, it was 43 Degrees outside, and Stiles could feel the frost coming from the water.

"Derek, just let me go home and take a shower," Stiles tried climbing up Derek as he waded into the water. He clings to Derek as his body almost shuts down with the ice bath. "Scott!" Stiles screamed as he saw the tiny silhouette of Scott running to them. Derek quickly tried to wash off the urine before they could make contact, but it was too late as Scott got closer, and his red eyes turned pink. With a small pause, Scott kept running full force to Stiles. He jumped into the water and split Derek from Stiles.

"What the hell is going on here," Scott roared at Derek. Stiles clung onto Scott, shivering and chattering his teeth together. He looked at Stiles' eyes, they were not a pale pink anymore, but they were a Mauve color replacing his brown irises. When the wolves eyes shifted from their wolves, they would have similar colors. As Stiles turned into a popsicle, the Alpha filled Scott in on what had transpired. Scott widened his eyes in horror at what his best friend had just gone through... but the only thing on his mind was, 'What will Allison think?'. He was planning on making her his mate. Would she say no now because Stiles was his mate? He didn't know what he was doing or had any control over it... but that still didn't pull Scott out of this shit situation.

"Well... what do we do now?" Stiles chattered his teeth. Scott decided they should get out of the spring now. Boyd and Isaac offered Stiles their dry clothes, and he practically snatched Boyd's shirt off his body to cover up.

"Tell my brother that I am here and why..." Laura told Stiles, and he muttered 'Shut up' under his breath. Derek raised his eyebrows at Stiles.

"He talks to himself sometimes," Scott shrugged.

"We have to breed him. If we go too long, then we will all slowly lose our minds," Derek said with his arms crossed, and Stiles gulped. He was beginning to think this was all a prank, and tomorrow on the 13th, they would fill him in on the joke.

"I think I should take him home..." Scott glaring at Derek

"Scott, you have never had a mate before. You will lose yourself in lust. Then you will become savage. You might even regress like Peter had," Derek explained why he wasn't being a creep. When Derek said his name, he appeared, upsetting Stiles as he hid his face in his neck. Scott protectively hugged his arm around his buddy, thinking this was all Derek's fault. Derek watched Stiles peek behind Scott's neck and look at Peter. His energy was drained fast. Derek's eyes shifted to his wolves. He looked in the direction Stiles was looking at. A Wolf's eyes can't fully see spirits. They do see orbs, though. He watched two orbs clashing together. Stiles saw Laura fighting with Peter. "Stiles, what are you seeing?" Derek asked. Stiles looked back at him. Derek genuinely asked him that question.

"Derek, the Kanima is gone. I have checked," Scott said, thinking he was talking about the Kanima.

"Scott, he is seeing something. Look," Derek pointed in the direction of the orbs, "With your wolf's eyes," Derek told him. Scott saw the orbs but didn't think anything of it. He always saw orbs when he was wolfed out. He assumed the sun was creating mirages or something.

"Laura is fighting Peter... he still doesn't know he is dead," Stiles told him.

"What?" Derek took a step closer, but Scott stood in front of Stiles, growling

"Don't confuse him. I don't want him to return to the Eichen House," Scott growled.

Stiles looked down at his feet. They were cut up and scrapped from running after Isaac tearing off his shoes earlier. He had told Scott about his abilities early in their friendship. His father took him to the Eichen House and banned him from seeing Scott because he was an 'enabler.' Scott would be lying if he said he never saw Stiles talking to no one or if he hadn't thought the orbs were spirits when he looked through his wolf's eyes one day when Stiles was talking to his mother on the anniversary of her death.

"Look, I will figure something out," Scott muttered, taking a couple of steps with Stiles, then picking him up and carrying him once he saw how damaged his feet were. "Are you two coming?" Scott asked Isaac and Boyd. The two betas' looked between the Alpha and True Alpha, Derek snarled at them, and they submitted to him. Scott couldn't believe it... Stiles was right about them... he was always right. They heard Derek run off and roar with anger. Every bird in a 5-mile radius was scared off. "We will fix your door... text your father that you are staying the night with me... Mom is at the hospital all night, so we can use the Study to research, okay?" he asked as he helped Stiles sit in the passenger seat. Scott's mother didn't mind them researching the supernatural, but Stiles is messy, and she likes her Study organized.

"Why were you out here anyway? Playing with wolves?" Stiles said, shivering as he looked for his phone, remembering that he had left it on the porch. "What are you looking for?"

"My phone, it's on the porch of the house I am building down there," Stiles pointed toward the meadow.

"You're building a house? Why didn't you ask for my help?" Scott asked

"Well... you don't have time for me outside of school anymore," Stiles muttered, and Scott shook his head. "Scott, then where were you today... I drove by the Vet Clinic, and you weren't there,"

"Okay... I know I have been a horrible best friend. Let me go check out the house and grab your phone. Then we can talk everything out..." Scott asked, and he watched his best friend close himself off from talking. He sighed and walked down the worn-down grass path. He heard grunts and growling as he got closer, then he saw Derek tearing down the house brick by brick. He wouldn't have been able to touch the house if Stiles had enough Bricks to go around the house. Scott tackled Derek away so he couldn't demolish it anymore. Stiles will be devastated. "What are you doing!"

"You still look at me like I am the bad guy, Scott! If you want me to be the bad guy, I will show you how monstrous I can be," Derek's clothes ripped off as his bulking muscles shifted from human to wolf. Scott stood in a fighting stance, but then he looked around; he didn't see Isaac or Boyd. "If you are willing to keep him from us, risking us going feral, then we will keep him from you," Derek sneered. Scott retreated to the Jeep and stopped Isaac and Boyd in their tracks. They were about to reach Stiles' door when Scott threw them back and roared at them. He suspected them of running away scared, but they submitted to him... that meant they were in limbo between packs. They waited for his orders to obey, he flared his nostrils at them, and they ran back to Derek.

Stiles still gave Scott the cold shoulder, and Scott muttered swear words as they drove off.
