Chapter Four- Derek

I sent all of my Betas home after a couple of hours of training. Peter had lurked by the wall the entire time. After Boyd left, the last to go, my uncle asked me, "Do you really think that they're here for Jackson?"

"You don't?" I replied.

Peter moved away from the wall. "I think they came to find you. Well, me, originally, but they would know that you're the Alpha now."

"How many are there?" I questioned him about his search earlier.

"There are six here," Peter answered me, "but it's only part of the whole pack. For whatever reason they're here, it's most likely the strongest of them. I would guess that the others are nearby in case they are needed."

"Very good," a soft voice with a slight southern accent said from outside of the house. We both froze. "Would you mind if we come in Derek? There are only two of us right now and we really want to talk to you. I promise that we won't attack."

I didn't respond; they would come in either way. At least I could tell they were being honest when they said there were only two. One, the woman with a southern accent I assumed, smelled of freshly cut grass and a mixture of flowers. The other Alpha smelled like ash. Peter and I could hear them as they made their way into the building. We were both tensed and in our wolf forms in case they made a threat. When they finally game into view, I could see that they were both women in their early twenties.

The one that smelled like flowers was of average height and weight. She had straight blonde hair that flipped out on the bottom and eyes the same green as a granny smith apple. Her lips were soft pink and her barely tanned skin was covered in freckles. She wore a pair of jean shorts and a pink t-shirt. The second woman seemed to be the complete opposite of the first. Her skin was almost transparent and perfectly smooth. She had brown eyes so dark that they were almost black, which matched her long, slick black hair. Her nails were bright red along with her thin lips, she was extraordinarily tall, and wore black pants with a tight, long sleeved black shirt. This second Alpha was harsh and deadly, even by werewolf standards.

"I'm Savannah and this is Hayden," the blonde said in her accent.

Peter was watching, continually looking between all three of us Alphas and waiting for a sign of any kind of threat. "What do you want?" I growled.

Savannah let out a small giggle. " We want you."

I blinked. "I have a pack."

"Of course," she offered a falsely happy smile, "but don't you ever think about the fact that they're all teenagers in high school?"

"They wanted the bite." I felt as if I had to defend myself against her.

Hayden moved to sit on the couch's armrest, the same place Erica had been only hours before. The image was for some reason wrong. Peter took a step away from her. Savannah didn't look away from me. "They're going to want to have lives beyond this, Derek. A bunch of sixteen year olds, they're going to eventually graduate. They'll go to college, get jobs, and start families. All of them will move on." Her voice was getting quieter as if to be understanding, yet it was losing its sickly-sweet tone.

"They'll always be a pack," I hissed at her.

Savannah crossed her arms. "Erica and Boyd already wanted to leave. They're only with you now because we let them go. Scott doesn't even want to be a wolf to he can be with the hunter's daughter. Jackson, he has no other desire then to be better at lacrosse. Besides Isaac, the most loyal person in your back in the boy Stiles, and he isn't even a werewolf."

"For the record, he chose not to be. I offered," Peter interjected.

I gave him a warning glare to stop talking and he got the meaning fairly quickly. "How do you know so much about our pack?" I asked.

She ignored both what Peter said and my question. "I liked Laura. She was considering becoming part of the pack, as we are offering to you. Unfortunately, her only goal was to find who started the fire."

The blonde Alpha smirked as she heard my heart jump. "What do you want?" I repeated.

"You're an Alpha. We want you to become part of our pack."

"I already said I have a pack."

She moved closer to me until she was only a step away. "Leave them. Let them be teenagers. If they want one, they'll find another pack. They're going to leave you anyway."

"No." It was a response to her allegation and the offer.

"The full moon is two days from now," Savannah said. "You have a month after that to make your decision. You can either join us, or try to protect the children who will eventually leave you." Her voice was cold now.

With that, she turned away and began to head towards the door. Hayden stood up and I watched her out of the corner of my eye as she followed her fellow pack member. The door clicked closed and the two women could be heard running through the forest. When it was impossible to hear them anymore, Peter turned to me and shrugged. "I told you they were here for you."

I ignored him and walked out, calling behind me, "I'm going to make sure Boyd is keeping watch over Lydia."

Notes: Thank you, as always, for reading. I really hope, like I did with the Stiles chapter, that I didn't completely ruin Derek. Comments will be greatly appreciated. I would absolutely love to hear your feedback on Hayden and Savannah, and what you would like to see in the future from them and the other four Alphas.

I hope you liked it! (:
