Stiles couldn't believe it.
His girlfriend had betrayed him and his friends.
She had let a little girl get kidnapped for the sole purpose of money.
He didn't understand it. How could someone sell a baby for money? Babies were a gift that should be treasured. The parents obviously did. How could someone else not?
It reminded him of his mother. She always said, 'Genim, when you have your own child you'll understand the importance of parenting. When that happens, your whole world changes and you lice for them.'
She was right. No one had ever thought Derek Hale would be a father, and a good father at that. Obviously he was doting on the child and the mother.
Stiles had seen what happened when the two parents got angry. Both were in the stages of grieving. They were out of the anger and sadness stages. Now they were in the revenge stage and Stiles was going to help.
Before that he was going to talk to Sadie.
He found her packing her car when he walked up to her house. She lived with her aunt at the time. Now he understood why.
"Sadie."
She turned around when he spoke. "Hey, Stiles. What are you doing here?"
"I got to know why. Why did you sell that baby?"
She sighed and continued to pack her car. "It's complicated."
"Well uncomplicate it. Tell me why you did it."
"No."
"Sadie, this is my family you're messing with."
"And it's mine I'm trying to save!"
"What?"
"My mother was one of the people on the court of the wolves. One day a Hunter came through and promised to leave us alone. That didn't happen because you know how Hunters are. He killed all the newborns, including the Alpha's. She was heartbroken and decided that she needed a child at all times. Many of them have died during the change so she decided she needed a natural born werewolf."
"So she found Derek?"
"She heard through the Hunters that Derek Hale, the last living member of the powerful Hale family, was expecting a child with a normal human. She decided she wanted the child."
"So she sent you?" Sadie nodded. Stiles rubbed his face. "You're an idiot. You should know that werewolves are protective of their young. You knew Derek and Sam would go after the Alpha who took Laura." He was speechless for a few minutes. "Where is she?"
"What?"
"Where's the Alpha?"
Sadie shrugged. "After the massacre she moved her entire pack. I don't know where she went."
"You took a job not knowing where your boss was working?"
"It would save my mom, Stiles. I did what I had to do."
"Yeah, and I'm doing what I have to do. We're done. Its one thing to come into town and use me, because let's face it. I'm gullible. But when you come into town and mess with my family, that's where I draw the line."
Sadie was hurt. She had obviously liked Stiles. Tears filled her eyes. Normally he would beg her not to cry but he was a mix of emotions right now he didn't know what to say.
"I understand. I'll just go." She said. She reached behind her neck.
"Keep it." Stiles said.
"But…."
"I gave the necklace to you for your birthday. I don't want it back. You can do one thing for me though."
"What's that?"
"When you tell the Alpha that we're coming after her, get your mom and get out of there. I don't want to see anything happen to you."
Sadie smiled, leaned forward and gave Stiles one last kiss. He smiled at her as she got in the car. He hit the side of the car like he had seen in movies as she backed out of the drive. When she was out of sight, he pulled out his phone.
"Yeah. It's me. Tracking device is in place. We'll be able to see where she goes and we'll see where she stops."
