Chapter 3

I ran to the edge of the woods and just carried on running, trying to calm myself. I stopped at a large tree and sat with my back against it. I heard footsteps and looked up to see Stiles and Derek stood there. Stiles stepped forward and sat next to me, pulling me into his arms. I felt so secure that I finally let myself cry. All of the tears that I never shed over my parents were finally coming out. I felt Derek sit at the other side of me and his presence was oddly comforting. I shivered slightly from the cold, realising that I hadn't brought a jacket. I pulled back from Stiles and kissed him on the cheek. "Here." I turned to see Derek removing his hoodie and offering it to me.

"Thanks, both of you. I'm sorry about that, I never really mourned my parents I just went straight after the hunters." Derek chuckled slightly,

"Don't worry about it. I was in the same position not very long ago and I remember how much I needed a shoulder to cry on." I looked at Stiles and he looked completely taken aback.

"What's up Stiles?" He looked at me and closed his mouth,

"Nothing, I just didn't know that the big scary Derek Hale actually possessed any form of emotion." This made me laugh and I could practically feel the scowl on Derek's face. Derek spoke up, "So, who's pack are you going to be in now?" I sighed and turned to Derek, hugging his jumper closer to my body. "Well, I can be an Alpha myself and build my own pack that way but it just seems like a lot of messing about." I shrugged my shoulders and brought one of the sleeves of Derek's jumper up to my face, breathing in the scent. Derek coughed slightly, "Well you could always join my pack, there are a few of us but we can help you." I smiled at him and nodded my head.

"Thanks, I appreciate it." We were interrupted by a howl in the distance. The wolf behind it sounded like it was in pain. I turned to Derek "Who is it?" He frowned slightly,

"Isaac." I stood up and pulled Stiles up with me.

"You need to go home Stiles where it's safe. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you." He gave me a quick hug and ran off. I turned to Derek who was in full wolf form.

"Can you keep up?" I smirked at him,

"Oh yeah." We set off running to where we had heard Isaac, me easily keeping up with Derek, even in human form. We reached a clearing and I saw a young man who I presumed was Isaac hung upside down from a tree. Hunters all around him had their weapons drawn ready to kill him. Derek stepped forward and let out an ear piercing growl. I stepped up to his side ready for a fight. Isaac looked over at us a questioning look settling on me. I smiled at him watching the hunter nearest to me. An older and a younger man stepped forward, the older one clearly in charge. "Well, well, well what do we have here?" His voice sounded oddly familiar.

"Are you lost Derek?" Derek growled at him and took a step forward, I was close on his flank.

"I see you've got yourself a new beta." I let out a loud snort, which caused all of the hunters to turn and look at me. "I am no Beta." The man frowned slightly and looked back at Derek.

"Men I hope that you can take care of these rabid dogs for me?" They all took a step closer as the older man moved back slightly, having an argument with the younger man about codes. Derek turned to me and said "It's time for you to suit up Kayla." I smiled at him

"You best step back a bit." He complied and I changed into my lupine skin. I stood as tall as Derek's shoulder and the men around us started to move back with fear. Derek looked at me and smiled "Wow." I chuckled slightly and spoke to his mind.

"Not quite what you were expecting?" He laughed. I let out a loud growl which seemed to make the men shrivel away even more. The commotion caught the two arguing men's attention and they both looked at me with awe. The older man spoke up "Well Chris, it seems we have got ourselves a pure bred werewolf. Very rare. Only a few left alive now, they are direct descendents from the original werewolf who was a full wolf. Fascinating." I growled again,

"Still kill them all the same." The men again ran at us with guns and weapons of all types. Derek started to take them out and I ran over to where Isaac was, making quick work of the ropes holding him. He nodded at me and joined in with the fight. I ran at a man who was about to shoot Derek and threw him at a tree. A young girl stepped from out of the shadows with a bow in hand, she shot and arrow at me and it hit me in the leg. I growled at her and was about to rip her apart when a werewolf ran in front of her growling at me. It was Scott. "So this is your girlfriend." He looked shocked, he obviously didn't realise that it was me. The girl stepped around Scott and shot me again, this time in the shoulder. "Allison no!" Was all that Scott said before she shot me a third time. Men were circling me now and knew that I had to do something or I would be dead. I ran at the man nearest to me and rip him apart with my teeth, the next man with my claws. I shifted back into my human form wincing at the arrows in my body. I quickly dispatched the other men with relative ease. Once I was done Derek and Isaac finished off the men they were fighting with. Chris and the other man stepped forward looking shocked. A wave of pain hit me and I fell down to one knee. Scott ran forward but he was barged out of the way by Derek. I felt Derek pulling the arrows out of me and it felt a lot better. He helped me up and gave me a quick once over. "You okay?" I smiled at him and stood up on my own, "Yeah I'm fine thanks. But I think that I ruined your jumper, which is a shame because it smelt really nice." This made Derek laugh,

"Well I'm sure I can get you another one." There was a small cough and our attention was drawn back to the two men in front of us. The older man stepped forward and looked straight into my eyes, "Ah, I now know where I recognise you from. You were that girl that I left alive after I had slaughtered the rest of your pack." He started to laugh to laugh to himself and I started to run towards him but I was grabbed from behind by Derek and Isaac. "Let me go!" At this point tears were already falling down my face. "I'm going to rip you apart!" The older man just laughed even more, the younger man Chris stepped forward. "Why did you kill them all, they didn't even break the treaty!" The older man turned to Chris with an angry look on his face.

"Do you really think that they wouldn't have done something at some point?" Chris ran a hand through his hair in a frustrated gesture, "There is still a code to follow or we just become murderers!" The older man let out a loud sigh and started to walk away.

"We're not having this discussion here." Chris grabbed Allison and the three of them walked off into the woods. Derek and Isaac slowly let go of me. I sat down on the floor and put my head in my hands. I could hear Scott walking up to me and I looked up to see him looking rather guilty. He sat down next to me and started to talk, "Look Kay I'm sorry, I didn't want this. It just happened, I will try and help you in any way I can but you have to understand that I can't kill any of them." I nodded slightly and wiped my face. Scott pulled me into a hug and I let out a loud sigh. "I'm sorry I shouted at you but you have to realise how hard it is for me." Scott rested his head on my shoulder and mumbled "I know." in my ear. Scott pulled back and pulled me up with him.

"Right we best get back home, Mum will be wondering where we are." I nodded at him and turned to Derek and Isaac. "Thanks for letting me join your pack. I'll have to meet up with you both tomorrow and we'll have to get to know each other." Derek smiled and nodded at me. I turned around and linked my arm through Scott's as we walked back to his house. We got home rather quickly and I made sure that I cooked Scott something decent to eat, for which he was very grateful. After we had eaten I made my excuses and walked upstairs to my room. I opened the door and started to get undressed and changed into my pyjamas. As I was about to get into bed I noticed something folded up on the pillow. I unfolded it and saw that it was a jumper, I brought it up to my face and sure enough it was one of Derek's. I laughed and pulled it over my head. I whispered a 'thank you' knowing that if he was close by, he would hear me. I snuggled under the covers and quickly fell asleep.
