Stiles POV
I reached out and took my dad's glass of jack and sat it on the table in front of us.
"Sorry I took so long Isaac was having trouble getting to sleep. So where should we start?" I asked.
"Isaac Lahey is upstairs right now Stiles? So we not only are we harboring one suspected murderer in the Sheriff's house but we have two here? Stiles what have you gotten mixed up in? Is it drugs? Gangs? I promise son whatever it is I can help. We can find a solution. Just let me help." Dad was getting worked up thinking of all the worst case scenarios. I was just worried where werewolves, mates, Isaac and Derek would fall on his list of worst case scenarios.
"Dad I promise I'm not doing drugs or in any kinds of gangs. And I swear that both Derek and Isaac are innocent. If you just wait like ten minutes for Scott and his mom to get here we'll explain everything. Can you please just trust me on this, even though you have no reason to trust that I've got your best interest in mind." I pleaded hoping that he could trust and understand me.
"Fine son. I trust you. We'll wait for Melissa and Scott to get here." He said.
I breathed out a sigh of relief as I went to step out for a moment. "Excuse me for a second while I check on the food and Isaac I'll be back in a few minutes." I said as I stood and walked to the kitchen. Everything was ready and still warm so I quickly sat the table and walked up the stairs and quietly opened my door and looked in on Isaac.
He looked as cute as could be with his face pushed into my pillow and wearing Derek's leather jacket that I had left on the back of my chair as I went down to start cooking. I walked in and straightened his covers before kissing his forehead again and quietly slipping downstairs in time to see Ms. McCall and Scott walking up the driveway. I quickly went and let them in and led them into the living room where Ms. McCall pulled up the other chair and Scott sat on the couch leaving a space between him and Derek for me to sit in. As soon as I was seated I began to talk.
"Thanks for coming Ms. M. so as I know you are wondering what has been going on with Scott and I for the last few months I think it's time for me to explain. Please hold your questions till the very end. I'll try to explain everything as thoroughly and quickly as possible and please try to remember to keep an open mind about this. We left you in the dark for your protection. So first of all, werewolves—they're real. I'll prove it after I explain everything. This all started that night you caught me out in the woods looking for the body Dad. Laura hale wasn't killed in an animal attack she was murdered for the alpha powers she possessed. That same night as Scott was heading home he was attacked by the new alpha and bitten causing him to turn into a new werewolf. Derek came back shortly after to find her murderer and stop them. Shortly after the others began showing up and once I had put the pieces together and figured out about werewolves I became convinced that Derek was the alpha and the one who had bitten Scott. When we found the body it was just another clue that it was Derek and we called you in. it turns out that he was completely innocent he had just wanted to bury her in the werewolf custom and not subject her to further degradation by calling the police in. Once Derek was released he was on the trail of the alpha when the hunter Kate Argent came back to town she shot Derek with a special poisoned shell that slowly killing him. He showed up at the school for our help and while I helped Derek, Scott was sent to the Argent's house to try to retrieve another bullet like the one Derek was shot with to try and stop the affects before the poison reached his heart. Scott made it back in time and we saved Derek and this started the uneasy alliance between us. After that Derek, Scott and I tried to figure out who the alpha was. That night we were all trapped in the school by the alpha and he tried to get Scott to kill us. Scott told everyone it was Derek because shortly before we had seen the alpha basically gut Derek and presumed he was dead. The night of the lacrosse game Derek and I discovered who the alpha was and he and Derek fought while I got away. The alpha was Derek's uncle Peter Hale. He had been killing everyone even remotely related to the fire at his house six years before. After this Derek was captured while giving a diversion to let Scott get away. Kate Argent took him and tortured him until we could find and release him. The night of the prom Chris Argent tried to kill Scott in front of Allison and consequently told her the secret about werewolves. Peter attacked Lydia and kidnapped me. He needed me to use my computer skills and knowledge of Scott to track and find Derek since Derek had Scott's phone. Before I could finish the hunt Derek howled letting his location be known to other wolves and Scott beat Peter there. After you saw me at the hospital I went with Jackson to go help in the fight against Peter. Before we could leave we were stopped by Chris Argent and other hunters and questioned about Derek and Peter. When I told Chris about his sister Kate being the one to kill the whole Hale family he got very defensive and pissed and let us go. I stopped by the school quickly and made some self-igniting Molotov cocktails and then drove the Porsha out to the old Hale house. Before I had got there Allison and Kate showed up and Allison had shot Scott and Derek full of arrows before Kate came and shot Derek in the chest before pulling the gun on Scott's head. Chris arrived and threatened to shot Kate if she didn't put her gun down cause Scott was just an innocent teenager. After that Peter showed up and knocked everyone down while he grabbed Kate and threw her into the house before grabbing her again and putting his claws around her throat. He made her apologize for decimating his family and for leaving him burned and broken for six years. After she said she was sorry he ripped her throat out in front of Allison before heading to do the same to her. Luckily Scott and Derek had got up to fight him. After they had their asses handed to them I showed up and me and Jackson threw the Molotov cocktails at him setting him on fire. Derek slashed his throat and became the new alpha. So after all that Derek bit Jackson because he was well informed and still persistently wanting the bite. He then Isaac Lahey after saving him from an omega and to help him get away from his abusive father, then bit Erica Reyes to help cure her epilepsy, and lastly he bit Vernon Boyd to give him a pack because pack is family and Boyd doesn't have that. Now the bite either kills you or you change. Lydia seems to be immune to the bite because obviously she didn't die but she hasn't changed either. Jackson doesn't seem to have changed either but that could be a result of him being with Lydia. Isaac, Erica, and Boyd all successfully changed into betas and are now a part of Derek and mine's pack, Scott also recently joined with me. Now there is a new creature called the kanima hurting people in town and we don't know who it is yet. A kanima is a giant lizard looking creature that has a paralytic toxin on his claws so that when they cut you you're paralyzed for several hours. We've been trying to track it down recently but haven't caught it yet. That is what killed Mr. Lahey not Isaac. Okay, now for the hard stuff—werewolves have one mate for them. This is like their soul mate the perfect person for them and they have to be with them or the werewolf and the mate would probably pine to death. I am Derek's mate which makes me the other half of the alpha pair. So now I'm the pack mom—stop giggling Scott—and the pups will listen to me just as they would Derek. Now later Dad we're going to have to talk about pack meetings, breakfast and dinner, and Isaac and Derek moving in. Now any questions?" I finally sat back and took a breath. What a long explanation.
"Stiles, I swear I thought you told me you were going to stop lying to me!?" my dad sounded so disappointed
"Boys if this is a cry for help we're here for you. You don't need to make up outrageous stories for our attention. We can help you get through whatever's wrong I promise. Just please tell us what's really going on." Ms. McCall sounded as distressed as my dad now looked.
"Scott, Derek would you please show them? Now don't freak out I promise you are both completely safe and they would neither ever hurt you," I said.
Scott and Derek both sifted into their beta shapes and let their eyes begin to glow. Ms. McCall yelped and tried to back away while my dad looked relieved that I was lying to him for once.
"Oh Jesus! You weren't lying to us. Okay so I can handle the werewolves. I'll always love you both no matter what." Ms. McCall said trying to reassure us that she wouldn't give up on us completely.
"Werewolves I can handle, Isaac I can handle. I can even understand you wanting to have pack meetings and breakfast and dinner here (that's what you wanted right?), but Derek Hale mated to my 17 year old son I don't know about. You're too young Stiles; can't you wait a few years?" my dad asked and I knew he was trying his best to be supportive.
"That is what I wanted and I'm glad we can hold them here and that Isaac can stay. As for Derek, well dad you're going to have to try and not judge him. He looks out for me and the others. They need him…..I need him. If we were to try and split up it could cause one or both of us to literally pine to death with a broken heart. Please tell me you understand Dad!?"I was scared to hear the answer to my question.
"Okay son, just please keep it quiet and I don't want to know about anything. Isaac can stay and before you ask Derek can to, but Derek gets the spare room and you and Isaac will have to share. I love you Stiles, that's not going to change because suddenly your best friend is a supernatural creature and you're mated to one. I'll try to clear Derek and Isaac when I get back to the office although it won't be that easy." He informed me as he pulled me into a hug.
I held on tight to my dad. I was so scared I would never get this again and that he would hate me for being gay and dating Derek Hale, but he loved me anyway. As far as dads go I had a pretty awesome one!
"Well if everyone is okay with the explanations I'm going to go wake up Isaac with Derek. Scott, you are to go carry the food to the table and don't serve yourself yet, also get everyone a glass of tea and then sit at the table. We'll be back in just a second." I said as I walked out of the room with Derek hot on my heels.
We walked up to my room and entered. I went and sat at the head of the bead on the side while Derek mirrored me at the foot. I began to run my hands through Isaac's shaggy curls.
"Isaac baby, you need to wake up now. It's time for dinner. Come on pup, up and at 'em." Isaac woke and looked at me before nuzzling into my warm stomach before finally getting up and stretching. After he has stretched he let Derek and I scent mark him and then marked us in return. We all got up and headed down to the dining room to have the wonderful food that was wafting up to us making all of our mouths water.
