Infidelity and Scandals
Chapter 3: The plot thickens and deep conversations
"Wow talk about drama…" The guy on the other line said with a whistle. "Tell me about it I just feel really bad for Stiles you know he deserves way more than this." Cora said with a sigh. "Well I'll be glad to help in any way I can…from what you say he sounds like a good guy but isn't a law that you can't cheat on your mate? I thought werewolves can't even cheat after mating because they don't have the urge to." Decyln said with a frown falling upon his face.
"That's exactly what I was thinking I don't remember much from what my parents explained about mating but I know that cheating hardly ever happens…and if it does it usually a revenge thing or…something like that. I really can't remember I was so young and I was barely paying attention." Cora said. "Anyway, what is the master plan to make Derek pay? I still don't see the part I have to play." Decyln said.
"Well the plan is for you and Stiles to get close…like really close. Make him forget about Derek for a little while." Cora explained. Decyln laughed loudly on the other line before responding, "You really don't know much about mating, do you? I mean come on Cora you want me to compete with a mate, you do know that mating is not like marriage, mating really does mean forever. I mean don't get me wrong I'm always up for a challenge but this is something that I don't even think I can pull off."
"Oh come on Decyln we have no other choice but to do this…or at least try! Derek did it and he isn't even fazed about it! You should see him walking around the loft without a care in the world!" Cora yelled. "Something about this whole situation still doesn't make any sense to me. Are you even sure that Stiles him even mated? I mean there is a possible that it could've been just a werewolf fling." Decyln reasoned. "No I'm positive he was, scratch that is Derek's mate. He wasn't just some type of concubine; you should've seen them they were the real deal. I don't know how or why but it just was out of blue. Derek just stopped caring, it was like one morning he woke up and decided he didn't love Stiles anymore." Cora snapped. "Have you met the girl…the girl that Derek is with? Oh, and did he claim her as his mate?" Decyln asked. Cora grinded her teeth together, just thinking of the woman made her blood boil.
"No I haven't and I don't plan to get acquainted with her anytime soon or ever for the fact. She is playing with some serious business here and is destroying things deeper than marriage! As for the mate think I'm not one hundred percent sure…he hasn't mentioned anything about it so maybe that's a good sign?" Cora took a deep breath after her rant. "Well Cora you can't be too harsh on her, and I'm pretty sure that she doesn't even know about Stiles. " Decyln said while rolling his eyes at her dramatic actions, he could just see her glowing eyes. Cora always did have anger issues.
"First, don't you dare defend her D, don't you dare and second Decyln I just know you are rolling your eyes because you think I'm being dramatic but, I'm not. You have never met Stiles but he really is amazing and anyone can fall in love with him when you catch him in his moments. He is someone that everyone just loves and he is the type of person that could crack any person if he tries hard enough and, he did that to Derek. He broke down his walls without realizing it and that's why the two became mates." The girl said with a heavy tired sigh. "You sound really passionate about this…which is the only reason I'm going to help. Something about this whole thing is just sending warning signals in my head but I never seem to listen to them when I'm with you. So whatever is you have planned and whatever you want me to do you can count me in." The man said with a grin.
"Yes! As always you never disappoint! How soon can you come to town?" Cora asked excitingly. "Mmm," Decyln contemplating for a bit before continuing, "Roughly three days tops, not that long but you know I have to watch my back and cover my tracks when I travel." "You're still on the run I see." Cora pointed out. "Cora I'm an omega and a wanted one at that I'm always on the run and I'll be on the run my whole life." The werewolf replied. "Yeah I know but I just wish you didn't have to, I wish you could be free." Cora said resting her head on the bench she was sprawled on. "Ahh freedom is overrated anyway and not mention boring and look at it this way, if I'm always on the run I could never be bored." He said while scratching the back of his head. "I guess you're right about that but I'm pretty sure it still sucks moving and laying low all the time. It must be hard to know that you can never settle somewhere." Cora added. "Eh it was at first but then I just got used to it and now I can't imagine just staying in one place for too long." Decyln stated nonchalantly.
"You are defiantly a free spirit and could you let me know when you're here?" Cora asked. "I will make sure to do that and then you could fill be in on more about the whole situation and this oh so great plan of yours." Decyln said dryly. "Oh before I let you go and before you start sprinting off over here I do give you this warning, don't fall in love." Cora said seriously. The werewolf raised an eyebrow at his phone before asking, "Don't fall in love with whom exactly?"
"Stiles I was serious about everything I said before…I just don't want you to or him for that fact to get hurt in the whole process of things, ok?" She asked sounding slightly concerned. "Oh Cora please you know me and love don't mix at all together. Trust me you won't have to worry about any of that." Decyln said with an eye roll. "Alright well I have to go, let me know when you arrive and don't forget!" She reminded. "Yeah, yeah I heard you the first time. Goodbye Cora." "Bye Dec, see you later." She said and then pressed the end key.
Decyln scoffed before crushing the phone in his hands and dropping the dust on the floor. "Don't fall in love, psh as if I could fall in love with some random teenager, yeah right. That'll me the day." He said while sprinting off into the woods.
"Did you know an omega can never mate? Like unless its starts its own pack and stuff…that's kind of sad. I mean I was reading some stuff on wolves just in general and I read that it's untrue that all of wolves mate for life but it also says that they typically only have one partner at one time." Lydia said to Allison as she was surfing the internet. "So what you think that maybe Stiles and Derek were mates but they were one of those pairs that don't mate for life but this is based on wolves not werewolves." Allison reasoned. "Yeah that may be so but they do share certain similarities and stuff except the rapid healing and all of that but they share traits so what makes us know for sure if this isn't one of the traits they share?" Lydia asks more to herself than Allison.
"Mmm I don't know much about mating ladies I was only eleven when my parents died and I wasn't exactly given the mate talk." Cora said with a small laugh. Lydia and Allison gave her sympathetic looks before speaking again. "Well I mean I suppose it's possible that this theory can be true I mean but only to certain extent there has to be more to it than that." Allison said with a contemplating face. "Wait I heard from Isaac who heard from Stiles that Derek hadn't slept with him for three months? Yeah I pretty sure it was three months and that was around the time Derek started sleeping with Jennifer so it proves that he wasn't sleeping with the both of them at same time!" Cora said shooting up from her seat. "Well that helps our theory even-wait did you say Jennifer? As in Jennifer Blake our English teacher?!" Lydia snapped. "Yeah now that you mentioned it…Derek did mention she was a high school teacher." Cora said.
"Wow I will never be able to look at Ms. Blake the same…even if she didn't know; it just changed my whole perspective on her." Allison mumbled.
"Well I am excited about one thing in this whole thing…"Lydia said with her best bitch smile. "What is that?" Allison asked. "I can't wait until Erica comes back from her little trip and finds out about what Mr. Hale did to her batman." She answered.
Oh shit I haven't even thought of Erica's reaction. Ooh this is gonna be good especially with Decyln in the mix, Cora thought with a smile matching Lydia's.
"Stiles, are you ok in there this has to be the fourth time today you get a bloody nose." John Stilinski said as he stood outside his son's bathroom door. John pressed his ear to the door and heard a stream of curse words. "Yeah dad, I'm fine it's just umm a bloody nose no big deal." The younger Stilinski replied. When Stiles finally came out the bathroom John saw his son have a big sweatshirt on with joggers and tissue clogging both nostrils of his nose. Is it really that cold in here? He thought before shaking his head and reading his paper.
Stiles closed his door behind and flopped in his bed with a sigh; thank the coach for canceling Friday's after schools practice. Stiles groaned when he heard his phone buzzing and picked it up without checking to see who it was, already knowing it was Scott.
"Hello?" He greeted lowly. "Hey Stiles, bud, how ya feeling? I thought I should check up on you-." "Listen Scott as nice as you are acting you don't have to call be every two minutes to check up on me! I'm fine-." "Oh Stiles stop it with that crap I already know you are not alright and-." He stopped talking when he heard the phone drop and a low whisper of curses. What the hell?
Stiles picked up the phone quickly as he grabbed more toilet paper. He squeezed his nose and lifted his head up to stop the bleeding. It was so much blood and it was not stopping but at least the vomiting stopped. "Yo Scott sorry about that but as I was saying-."
"Yeah you can hang up now." Scott said as he squeezed his whole body through Stiles' window. Stiles groaned before pulling the covers him more tightly to his body. "Dude close the window please its freezing!" Stiles said with a yelp. "Sorry man," Scott said while quickly closing the window, "still having those chills, huh?"
"Yes but in about hour I should be striping off my clothes because of the hot flashes." Stiles said with a groan. "How often does it switch?" Scott asked with a frown. "Ehh, it switches every couple of hours. Give or take some." Stiles said with a shrug.
"Oh," Scott paused and frowned before continuing, "and how are you sleeping? Are those pills that Deaton gave you working?" Stiles froze and let his face fall. "Yeah I am sleeping a lot better and thank God that I can finally focus in school a little better. It's just that...well ever since I've been taking them I've had these nightmares and I can't wake up so I have to put up with it." Stiles said with a frown. "What kind of nightmares? Do you want to talk about them?" Scott asked with a concerned look. Stiles let out a small laugh before replying, "Aww thanks a lot man, Scott for actually offering but I don't want to burden you with this stuff. Its ok, I'm ok really you don't have to waste your time by checking up on me. I'm a big boy and I handle some nightmares besides…I'm sure you have more important stuff to do like hang out with Allison."
Stiles had this sheepish grin on his face but Scott could see through it. He knew what people thought of him and what they said behind his back. He's a selfish, whiny, lovesick and inconsiderate best friend and some days he thought they were right. Like today…he knew that he spent a lot of time with Allison and is guilty for ditching Stiles more than once for her but did he really feel that way? Did he really feel that "hanging out with Allison" was more important than checking up on him? Scott looked in his best friends eyes and answered his own question…he thought that he was inferior to Allison and it tugged on Scott's werewolf heart.
Stiles has been there for him for as long as he can remember. Before Allison, before he became a werewolf, before he became popular. Stiles was basically there through everything and has never not been there through the storm. Good or bad he stood there at his side fighting 'til the very end. Scott could count more than once that Stiles picked him up when he was on the brink of giving up and before Allison…well they were inseparable. Now they've drifted so far apart that his best friend didn't feel comfortable enough telling him about his nightmares. Stiles wasn't comfortable with the fact that he was taking time out of his schedule to take care of him.
Scott sighed and ran a hand through his hair and finally spoke, "Stiles…it's not burden you are not a burden and you never have or can be. I feel more than shitty that you can't talk with me like you used to. I know that I'm not the best friend I used to be but three years ago I wasn't a werewolf and my life wasn't as complicated. I know it's still not a good enough excuse for treating you the way I have but it's all I got. I know that you have just as much to deal and more because of Derek and I know it's my entire fault for dragging you into all this werewolf crap but I'm so sorry, man I'm really sorry and I beg for you to forgive me."
Stiles looked at his best friend in both shock and awe. Scott looked away and wiped the tears that managed to break through his eyes. Stiles was even more shocked that he cried more because he hasn't seen his best friend cry since the incident at Motel California. Why would he feel this way? None of this werewolf crap was his fault, he certainly didn't ask for it and Stiles would've gotten involved whether or not Scott has asked for help. "Scott I don't blame anything on you at all so you have nothing to apologize for. I'm happy for you saying that I'm not a burden yes, but I was just saying I didn't want to. Yeah, sure we don't talk like we used to but we both have a lot on our plate and there really isn't time to just "hang out and have a quick chat" and that doesn't mean I trust you any less. As a matter of fact I feel like our relationship has gotten stronger over the past three years…yeah we're different now but I never expected for everything to be the same. Bud, do you recognize that we've been through more than life or death situations together that I could count on fingers and toes?" Stiles sighed and chuckled while shaking his head.
Scott albeit couldn't see his big goofy grin he could feel it. Stiles still considered him as a best friend and that made him feel overjoyed. Without Stiles…Scott would definitely be lost all the time. "Thanks man, you don't know how much that comforted me. It's nice knowing that some things hasn't changed badly." Scott said while leaning back next to Stiles on his bed.
The pair lied on the bed in a comfortable silence before Stiles broke it. "Yeah…hey Scott can I tell you something…it may sound stupid but I feel like I really need to tell you something-." "Stiles I'm pretty sure it's not stupid so go ahead and shoot." He replied with a playful eye roll. "Well it's about my nightmares…" Stiles paused and gave Scott a side glance and continued, "they have been very vivid and I had this one nightmare that Derek was in…he was fighting with another werewolf but it wasn't an alpha…he appeared to be a beta but didn't look like anyone in the pack."
Scott turned on his side so he could look at his best friend. "Do you think it has anything to do with the alpha pack? Do you think Derek is 'recruiting' more people?" Scott asked with a frown. "To be completely honest I have no idea what this is about…I don't even know if it's a dream it sort of feels like a case of déjà vu but I know it hasn't happened and I defiantly never seen this beta before." Stiles replied. "Maybe this guy or beta plays a role in this battle with the Alphas maybe he's a clue or something but the real question is, why are you dreaming about this?" Scott said, his frown deepening.
"That's exactly what I was thinking…I don't know I just have an odd feeling about this guy." Stiles mumbled more to himself. "Well if you dream of him again tell me and then maybe you could get more info on him." Scott said with reason. Stiles nodded and half-heartedly listened to Scott change the subject to lacrosse. There was just something that he couldn't shake off about this nightmare…or more like that guy and his gorgeous grey eyes…
