What upset Stiles the most was the fact that the fights basically came from nowhere. One minute they were sitting around watching whatever movie Stiles had deemed worthy for pack bonding time then all of a sudden they were all at each other's throats. It always ended in heart break and frustration for Stiles and anger and resentment for the pack, and it got worse when Allison and Scott got together making her a pack member. The pack found every reason to pick at each other and it was pissing Stiles off to no end because there wasn't a thing he could do about it. God knows he was trying, he was spending all his free time with Derek trying to help with the pack, and since school let out for summer a week ago that was a lot of time. He grew to enjoy Derek's company after a while and vice versa. Both boys realized that the other wasn't so bad and soon Derek and Stiles became partners in crime. Naturally Scott didn't take so well with his best friend getting so chummy with their alpha and it started a giant pack fight.
"You're not even a good alpha!" Scott exploded
"He's right" Lydia chimed in off handily
"Hell. Stilinski would make a better alpha than you" Jackson cut in "At least he feeds us"
"And he isn't living out of a train station" Danny pointed out
Derek tried to argue but the only words that came out was "Fine then why don't you make him you're alpha?"
And to Derek's horror they did just that. Jackson, Danny, Lydia, Scott and Allison all joined Stile's "pack" and started calling him alpha. He fit the role well even thought it was forced upon him, so well in fact that Derek began to resent him slightly because his group of 5 was more manageable than Derek's own group of three. Stiles stepped up as their Human alpha in all possible ways, going as far to house any of his wolves if something happened at home. He didn't necessarily want the role but they had always listened to him more than Derek anyway so he might as well take the job.
The boiling point came one day when both "packs" were together at the almost finished Hale house watching Peter Pan on the new television.
Erica snorted and looked at Isaac "you know any of those fairies?" She grinned "you may have slept with one"
Scott and Jackson laughed while Isaac looked like he was about to cry, Stiles felt bad for him. He'd probably been dealing with these jokes for a long time, that's why Stiles kept his sexuality to himself
"That is if you can even see with all that faggot blocking your eyes"
"What's blocking his eyes Erica?" Danny asked sweetly, the edge to his voice was so sharp it made Erica stiffen but as always she refused to back down.
"Faggot, I believe you know something about that yourself"
"Don't try that shit with me Erica" Danny was solid "you'll find yourself choking on wolfs bane faster than you can say 'blond bitch'"
"Stiles control your pack" Derek glared at Danny "he's threatening my pack member"
Stiles pulled a face before he decided to just concentrate on the movie
"Did you hear me Stiles?"
"His ears are probably blocked by all the faggot leaking out of Danny" Erica glared
"Are you having some sort of lesbian crisis?" Allison snapped "because if you say the word faggot one more time I'm going to puke"
"If I see your face one more time I'm going to puke" Boyd didn't care how childish he sounded he still wasn't over the fact that Allison had almost killed him and Erica a while back.
"Watch yourself Boyd" Scott snapped at him
"Or what McCall?" Boyd almost sneered "You'll send me love letters?"
Scott sat up and looked Boyd in the eye "I'll make sure to write one at your funeral"
Stiles sighed and pulled a piece of chocolate out of his pocket and tried in vain to ignore the packs.
"Would you stop fighting for five minutes?" Derek yelled at everyone but that only caused a bigger uproar
"I don't know who you're raising your voice at but I know it's not me" Lydia commented smiling at the television
"I'm talking to all of you"
"Well last time I checked you weren't our alpha" Scott said
"Oh and by the way, I was right Stilinski is a better alpha than you" Jackson smirked
Stiles was kind of upset that the only time Jackson could compliment him was when he was insulting Derek.
"He's not even a real alpha! He's just a human in way over his head"
"Rude" Stiles commented still not looking away from the television, he wasn't necessarily wrong but it was still mean to point out.
"Did you just insult my alpha?" Scott and Jackson got up and seconds later the entire room was standing up and growling at each other.
"Okay" Stiles stood up and walked in-between the two packs, he was so tired of the fighting, tired of screaming. He put his hands out between the two packs and looked at "Stop?" It was a question, a desperate and tired question, filled with disappointment and pain. One by one they all sat down, some with guilt and some with feigned attitude, but they all felt bad to some degree. The problem wasn't with Stiles it was with each other, every member of the pack, of each pack, had a soft spot for Stiles. He was loveable and even thought he could be annoying they needed him.
Stiles smiled at everyone "Thank you"
And in that moment I swear they were infinite.
Maybe it was because everything was too perfect, of because of the corny ass quote that was just used. But a howl could be heard in the distance, Derek and Stiles both took off running through the front door. Derek was ready to do this on his own but Stiles yelled back for his pack to follow him and they did just that.
"Scott!" Stiles yelled out as they ran "find the alphas!" Scott ran ahead on all fours, his noise to the ground and a minute later they heard him howl, then they heard him whimper.
"Scott!" Allison screamed and they all picked up speed, even Jackson looked worried as he ran.
"It's the werewolf's whore" A voice laughed through the woods and everyone stopped. Scott was lying on the floor of the forest trying to pull out the branch that the Alpha had impaled into his side.
"And who are you?" Stiles said calmly "only a mad man talks to air"
A woman walked out of the woods "well I wouldn't want you to feel mad in your last seconds" she smiled. She was tall, thin, and blond, and of course her eyes burned red. "They call me Kali, after the God of War. You must be the human alpha"
Stiles smiled at her "you've heard of me?"
"Of course I have, you're the peace bringer, the lover of strangers, the wander, the forgotten, the purple eyed one" she smiled "I've heard much about you, let's see if the rumors of your loyalty and love are true." Kali made a B line for Lydia whom was without weapon on werewolf powers; she screamed and stumbled backwards
"Stiles!" She sounded weak and at that moment she didn't care because Kali was running towards her and dodging all of Alison arrows. Kali jumped up and landed on Jacksons arm when he tried to tackle her, the snap of his arm made Danny charge her but she just deflected him to the ground. Kali only stopped when something hit her temple, she screamed and fell down to one knee as her body tried and failed to push out the bullet. Everyone looked to Stiles with wide eyes and Lydia let a few tears escape with how grateful she was, even Derek eyed the gun in Stile's hand with caution.
"What is this?" Kali screamed as her body refused to heal
"Did you know when you coat a bullet with wolfs bane and fill it with mountain ash it makes it impossible for any werewolf to heal" he was conversational as he made his way to help Lydia off of the ground "you've got about 24 hours before you die." Kali screamed and ran towards Stiles, Derek ran forward and took out her legs, she fell forward in front of Stiles and he aimed down at her head "Or 24 seconds" he pulled the trigger twice and just like that it was over. "Leave her here" Stiles said not looking from the body "let the rest of the pack know that this is what waiting for them if they mess with my pack" and with that Stiles looked up to the startled faced of his pack and Derek, nodded his head towards the house and walked away with Lydia attached to his side.
Stiles could feel his anger build up with every step he took towards the house, it was so palpable that the only sound to be heard in the large forest was the crunching of the forest floor as they walked along. Everyone's eyes were darting from Stiles to each other because they were truly and utterly scared, they had just watched their alpha kill a werewolf without batting an eye and it happened so fast it was hard to remember. And as Stiles walked into the Hale house and gently placed Lydia on the couch their fear grew as he turned towards Derek's pack.
"You're all still alive I see" Isaac laughed "who had the gun? We heard the shots and Lydia's scream from here"
"Where the hell were all of you?" his voice was calm but the anger brewing underneath was enough that it removed the goofy grin that Isaac had on his face
Ever the bitch Erica stepped up "in the house" she rolled his eyes
"You were in the house while your alpha was out there fighting? While we were out there fighting and possibly dying to keep you safe, do you remember what they did to you or did the memories wash away with the blood?" He took a dangerous step towards Erica and Isaac stepped in the way
"Calm down it's not that big a deal"
At Isaac's words Stiles felt something snap and glow inside of him and he grabbed Isaac's shirt collar and brought the taller boy to his height.
"Listen here you little shit" he spit the words at him "My friends could have been killed, Lydia could have been killed so it was definitely that big a deal" he let go of Isaac with a push and from somewhere in the room a growl emanated, it took him a second to realize it was coming from him. He composed himself for a second and realized that Isaac, Boyd, and Erica were all looking at him in muted fear.
"What?" he snapped looking around the room "what are you all staring at?" And no one in the room knew how to tell him that his eyes were glowing a deep and dangerous purple.
So no one did and Stiles went back to being his packs alpha and no one ever asked him about his eyes. And one by one everything fell apart and right into place. The Alphas attacked again and again and each time Stiles added more blood to his hands, but only when his friends were in danger. Never once did he shoot before it was necessary he even let two of the Alphas run when he said he would leave town, and just like that the problem of the Alpha pack was gone.
One day after wards when he was in his room all alone he broke down, he sat on his floor and screamed and thrashed around. There were six members of the alpha pack and he had killed four of them, he was personally responsible for four deaths, he was personally responsible for the lives of his pack, his friends, and no one seemed to care but him. 'I can feel them forgetting me' he thought as he held his head in his hands and cried 'they take me for granted and don't care about me' all Stiles did was care about his pack, protect his pack, but he wasn't an alpha. He was just a kid in way over his head, and as he felt strong arms raped around him he didn't hesitate to fall into them. He clutched onto the warm body and cried himself horse, and when he was done he looked up to see the face of Derek Hale holding him close.
"They do care about you" He whispered to him kissing Stiles' forehead "they just don't know how good they have it" he held him tighter "without you they'd be lost, I'D be lost okay" Stiles nodded and just sat there in Derek's hold for a few minutes before he got up
"Thank you Derek" Stiles smiled at him "but we still have to find a way to make everyone get along"
"That's something you're going to have to do on your own" Derek coughed "I'm not good at friendship things
"And that's the problem!" Stiles snapped at him "that's the reason most of your pack left you Derek, that's why I had to step up as an alpha!"
"But you're not an alpha"
"Tell that to the pack of Alphas that all seemed to know about me" he said sourly and at that Derek had nothing to say
"We need to find a way for them to all get along; you, Eric, and I get along fine!"
"That's because we all do drugs together" Derek snorted
Stiles eyes widened and Derek paled
"Stiles," Derek's voice had a warning in his voice "Stiles no!"
But Stiles was already sending out a text message and running down the stairs, Derek sighed and decided that when this was all over and Stiles discovered his true role in the pack he was going to beat the shit out of him.
Heller geys! so you're in luck, i updated today and I'll probably update tomorrow because I'm 16 and i have no plans ._.
A lot of different dynamics are going to come into this story and most of the chapters won't be this sad or serious but i had to hash out just how bad things were between the pack. yes Isaac is openly gay here and he didn't come out until sometime after chapter two and yes Stiles is starting to question his own sexuality. and for the brake down i feel like Stiles has these often but no one notices, read my story "Pretending" if your interested in that sort of thing. Surprisingly someone actually guessed that I was going to split the pack in two! I am so proud of my perceptive fans!
Hasta la pasta!~
