Chapter 3

I do not own Teen Wolf in any way.

A/N- The poll looks like B-3 and G-2. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go vote!

The next morning as Paige was getting ready for school, Isaac walked into her train car.

"Hey", she said, "How're you feeling?"

"My whole body hurts", he told her.

"It'll get better once you learn control", she said. She took in his appearance. "Is that one my brother's jackets?" she asked.

Isaac blushed and said, "He let me have it. You don't like it?"

"No…" she said. She walked up and grabbed onto the jacket. She leaned up and said, "I think it's hot".

Isaac smirked and closed the distance between their lips.

After a few minutes, they heard knocking on the train car.

Paige pulled back and blushed.

"You're going to be late for school", Derek said.

"I'll see you after school", she told him.

Isaac held onto her as long as he could.

Her first period of the day was gym.

They were climbing a rock wall.

"Right? All right, next two. Hale, Erica, let's go. The wall", Coach said.

Erica and Paige walked up to the rock climbing wall.

They started climbing.

At one point Erica froze.

"Erica? Are you okay?" Paige asked her.

Erica started whimpering.

"Erica. Dizzy? Is it vertigo?" Coach asked.

"Vertigo's a dysfunction of the vestibular system of the inner ear. She's just freaking out", Lydia said.

Everyone started to laugh at her.

"Erica", Coach called.

"I'm fine", she said.

"Coach, maybe it's not safe. You know she's epileptic", Allison said.

"Why doesn't anybody tell me this stuff? I have to get - Erica, y - you're fine. Just - Just kick off from the wall. Th - There's a mat to catch you", Coach told her.

"We'll do it together", Paige told her. Paige grabbed Erica's hand and they both pushed off the wall and landed on the mat.

"Come on. See, you're fine. You're on the ground. You're all right. Let's go. Shake it off. You're fine", Coach said.

Paige and Erica unhooked themselves and Paige led Erica away.

"I don't need your pity", Erica snapped.

"But Erica…I wasn't…" Paige said as Erica stormed off.

Scott placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I was just trying to help…" she said.

Paige was waiting outside the boy's locker room for Scott and Stiles, when Scott came running out. Paige followed him.

He caught Erica as she was falling off the rock wall.

"Put her on her side. Put her on her side", Allison told Scott. He did and Erica grabbed onto Paige's hand.

"How'd you know?" Allison asked him.

"I just felt it", Scott said.

After the ambulance was called, Paige pulled her phone out and texted Derek.

Might have found you a new Beta. Get to the hospital. Name is Erica Reyes.

After school, Paige rushed home.

Isaac met her at the door and kissed her.

"I missed you", she told him, "Now where's my brother?"

"In your train car", he told her.

She entered her train car and said, "Where is she?"

"At home, healing from the bite", he told her.

"Why didn't you bring her back here?" she asked.

"Because unlike us and Isaac, she has a home to go to", Derek told her.

"She's pack now. That means she belongs here", Paige argued.

Derek sighed and left the train car.

Isaac came in after him.

Paige sighed and sat down on her mattress. She pulled out a mountain of homework out of her backpack.

"Is that all yours?" he asked.

"No! It's yours too", she said.

Isaac groaned.

"No mate of mine is going to fail school", she told him. She handed him the stack of papers. "We'll work on it together, okay?" she said.

When Erica woke up the next morning, she was a totally different person. Erica came by and helped Paige get ready for school.

When Paige came out of her train car, Isaac's eyes turned golden yellow.

If they had been alone, he would've thrown her down and had his way with her.

She was wearing a pair of dark skinny jeans, a blood red tank top, with leather jacket, and a pair of high heeled ankle boots.

"Wish I could go with you", Isaac whined.

"It won't be much longer. We'll find a way to prove your innocence", she told him.

"Paige? You coming or what?" Erica asked.

Paige nodded. She leaned up and kissed Isaac before leaving.

At lunch time was the only time Scott and Stiles saw the two girls.

They strutted into the cafeteria.

Erica walked up to a table and grabbed an apple of a guy's plate before biting into it.

The two boys ran after them in time to see them get in Derek's car.

Derek took them out to lunch.

"Do we have to go back?" Paige asked.

"Yes, you have to go back. We have to keep up appearances", Derek told her.

"But it's getting harder…" she said, referring to being away from Isaac.

"Awww…c'mon Paige! Am I not good enough for you?" Erica teased.

"Sorry, but I don't bat for that team", Paige said. She was beginning to like Erica.

The next day in school, the two girls were at Erica's locker when Erica saw Scott in her mirror.

She shut her locker and the she-wolves turned around.

"Two's not enough for Derek. I know he needs at least three. So who's next?" Scott asked.

"Why does there have to be a next when we've already got you?" Erica asked.

"Who's next?" Scott asked again.

Paige spaced out, thinking about Isaac.

His smile, his laugh, how his lips felt on hers.

"Paige!" Erica snapped.

Paige blushed and said, "What?"

"C'mon", Erica said.

That night, the pack went to the ice skating rink.

"We should come back here later", Paige told Isaac.

"I can't ice skate…" Isaac said blushing.

Erica gagged and Paige growled at her.

Derek thought it was somewhat nice that his pack got along with each other.

Scott entered the rink and walked up to Boyd. "Boyd. I just wanna talk", Scott said.

Boyd ignored him.

"Hey, come on, Boyd, please. Did Derek tell you everything? And I don't just mean going out of control on the full moons. I mean everything", Scott said.

"He told me about the hunters", Boyd said.

"And that's not enough for you to say no? Whatever you want there's other ways to get it", Scott said.

"I just wanna not eat lunch alone every day", Boyd said.

"If you're looking for friends, you can do a lot better than Derek", Scott said.

"That really hurts, Scott", Derek said.

Scott turned and saw them standing there.

Erica and Isaac were on his right and Paige was on his left.

"I mean, if you're going to review me, at least take a consensus. Erica, how's life been for you since we met?" Derek asked.

"Hm. In a word – Transformative", she said. She bared him fangs and growled.

"Isaac?" Derek asked.

"Well, I'm a little bummed about being a fugitive, but other than that, I'm great", Isaac said winking at Paige.

"Okay, hold on. This isn't exactly a fair fight", Scott said.

"Then go home, Scott", Derek told him. Derek looked over at Isaac and Erica and they went after Scott.

Scott shifted and broke the ice with his fist. "I meant fair for them", Scott said.

Paige started to go after her mate and pack-mate.

Derek grabbed Paige's arm.

"He's going to get hurt!" she hissed, her eyes on Isaac.

"And you can patch him up later", he said.

"But Derek!" she whined.

"No Paige!" he said flashing his red eyes at her.

She huffed and turned away. She could hear the growling, but she couldn't bring herself to watch.

"Don't you get it? He's not doing this for you. He's just adding to his own power, okay? It's all about him. He makes you feel like he's giving you some kind of gift when all he's done is turn you into a bunch of guard dogs!" Scott yelled. Scott slid Isaac and Erica over to Derek and Paige.

"It's true. It is about power", Derek said and shifted. He walked towards Scott.

Paige dropped to knees next to Isaac. "C'mon baby. Wake up", she cooed.

Isaac's blue eyes opened as Scott and Derek started fighting.

She helped Isaac and Erica up as Boyd walked over to them.

Isaac was holding his injured arm.

"Where are we going?" Paige asked Isaac. She had her eyes closed.

It suddenly got colder.

She opened her eyes and they were back in the ice rink.

"You said you wanted to come back here later", Isaac said.

"And you said you couldn't ice skate", she said.

Isaac winked and said, "I might have lied".

They laced up their skates and Isaac stepped out onto the ice.

He held his hand out to Paige. "C'mon", he said.

She put her hand in his. She could see herself spending forever with Isaac if he was always like this.
