A/N.
I can't say much about this chapter, other than that Derek will tell the rest of the pack.
Thank you so much to Peter Hale Derek Hale and GFM for their reviews.
Chapter four.
Peace of mind.

He stood leaned up against a wall with his eyes locked on the door. Isaac had called the pack and said something to them, he didn't know what, but the beta told him that they could meet around the next morning.
He told Isaac and Boyd to stay back at the train station with Scott. He closed his eyes tight as he remembered how hellish it had been for him to get Scott to let him go.
His heart was painful in his chest as he heard Scott whimper from where the pup's mouth was hidden in his shirt, the teen's arms locked around him in a tight embrace that Derek could see no way out of.
"Scott, I have to. Isaac and Boyd are going to stay here," he tried to say as he again began to try to move away from Scott, the young wolf just whined and pressed himself closer to the Alpha, "No, please don't leave me, please don't do it, stay, please Derek, Alpha," Scott whimpered and pleaded with him.
Derek sighed and breathed in deeply, smelling Scott and only Scott.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that Scott and you know it. Let me go," he commanded.
Scott's arms lessened around him just a little but it was all he needed, and in a flash he was out of the station, falling to his knees when Scott's howl reached him, his own wolf begging him to go back and comfort their pack mate.
He sighed deeply and hid his face in his hands. He could feel Scott's distress over being away from him, and he mentally thanked Isaac and Boyd for staying with him.
A soft series of knocks on the metal door broke Derek out of his thoughts. From the ever fast heart rate, Derek knew that Stiles had arrived.
He let the boy let himself in. When he could smell him, he looked up and pushed himself away from the wall and walked over to stand in front of the teen.
"I'm not going to give the same speech twice but when we're done here, could you please tell Scott's mother and tell her that at the moment Scott will be living with me," he asked with hard eyes and a soft voice.
Stiles nodded and Derek could see that he was just about to ask a question, when there was a knock on the door again, this time Derek could hear two heartbeats and guessed that Allison and Lydia had come together.
Stiles moved to let them in and despite not looking up; Derek could feel their eyes on him.
He shook his head and took a deep breath and pointed them over to the couch, he would rather stand up.
All three of them sat tense and rigid on the couch and all three sets of eyes were on him.
"I'm guessing that all of you have at some point noted that Scott hasn't been acting like he usually did."
All of them nodded and Derek continued with a heavy sigh.
"The cause of the problem have been handled and dealt with and now I'm asking you to tell me what you have been noticing about Scott."
Allison raised a hand and Derek almost snorted at it.
"What was the cause of the problem? Where's Peter?"
At his uncle's name Derek snarled and his eyes flashed red for a second, before he calmed down enough to answer Allison.
"Peter's dead, torn to pieces and if he ever returns to the living again, kill him painfully."
All three nodded but then Lydia spoke up.
"I noticed how he always tensed up when people touched him, when he wasn't prepared for it." She turned her eyes to Allison and the brunet continued.
"It was right after Peter returned again, that he started acting out. He refused to have sex with me. It came to the point where he wouldn't let me touch him in any sexual way. It was like he was afraid," she said and looked at Derek with question in her eyes.
Derek was about to answer her, when a wave of peace rolled over him. It took him two seconds before he figured out that the emotion came from Scott. Barely a second later after that, a text beeped in on his phone and Derek looked at the text Isaac had sent him.
Isaac: Scott shifted again, he won't shift back again.
"Derek: Let him stay like it, I'm not done yet.
He sighed.
"I didn't know until you came back from the school trip and I was called to help Scott calm down again. I brought Peter up and told him how could he be weak if he had resisted my uncle. He didn't resist he said."
Derek swallowed and bowed his head, God; he didn't want to tell them it.
"Peter had from he had been an Alpha sexually abused Scott. He didn't stop until I killed him a small week ago."
Gasps around him broke out and he could hear them mutter "Oh God."
The room was quiet as he let them progress what he had just told them.
"What do we do now?" he heard Lydia ask, her voice cynical. Derek made a mental note to tell her later that she would make an amazing nurse.
He sighed again, "So far the biggest trouble is to knock it into his head that I won't throw him out of the pack, fix what Peter did to him and-"he shrugged and licked his lips.
"Have he told you what he did to him yet?" Stiles asked, his voice hurt over the knowledge that he hadn't seen what was wrong with his best friend.
"Yes. And we try to help him the best we can but he's not making it easy for us. The only ones he's really letting touch him are me and Isaac," he stopped when he heard a snort and looked at Allison and Stiles.
"What?"
It was Stiles that spoke. "I don't know if you've realized but Scott's not exactly the straightest person that I know, and I do know for a fact that he has certain feeling for a certain werewolf."
Derek rolled his eyes and chuckled a little. It was good to know.
"Tell us if we can help in any way. I'll tell Melissa," Allison said and with that the three teens left the loft.
The Alpha made a clicking sound with his tongue as he too, walked out of his loft and entered his car. 'Blackmail material' he thought.
He tensed up as soon as he saw Isaac stand in front of the iron door that led down to the train station. The beta had a wary look on his face and Derek didn't like it.
"How did it go?"
"Better than I expected, they offer their help if it will be needed. Now where's Scott?" he stopped when he saw the expression on Isaac's face, it looked like he really didn't want to tell him where Scott was.
"Isaac," he commanded.
"He kind of went a little mad and attacked me and Boyd-" Isaac lifted his shirt up to reveal healing wounds on his stomach and chest, "We couldn't hold him down and then he escaped out of a window, broke the glass I think, because he whimpered."
Derek couldn't stop his growl as he searched after Scott through their bond. He panicked when he couldn't feel the young werewolf and quickly realized that the young beta had closed off their bond.
He scented the air around them to see if he could get a scent of where Scott had run off to. 'The teen was a wolf; he would think like one too, he had to think like one' Derek thought to himself.
He tried to force an opening of their bond but had to let go of it, when he sank to his knees and groaned at the sharp pain he was feeling. He felt rather than he heard, Isaac get on his knees beside him and when he looked up at the beta, he had a concerned expression.
"He's blocking me actively. I don't know how but I can't feel him."
"You'll let him stay out there? This close to a full moon?" Isaac asked and looked in the direction of the forest.
"I fear I have no choice. As for if he's still out there when the full moon begins on Friday, I guess I'll just have to be in the forest."
"What makes you think he won't wander into town?
Derek looked sharply at Isaac; did he hint that Scott would do that?
"I mean that Scott isn't afraid of people like wolves normally are. Maybe he'll even attack if people come too close to him or something. We don't know what he's going to do Derek. There's also the fact that there could be hunters out there and they could find him" Isaac said with slight panic in his eyes.
Derek took a deep breath and got to his feet again. He walked towards the door leading inside and looked behind him, his eyebrow rose, "Coming?" he asked and disappeared down the stairs.
Scott POV.
He didn't know how he did it. His Alpha had left; he had begged him to not do so. He was afraid that the bad man would come back.
His Alpha kept going away and when he came back he always smelled sour, like he wasn't happy. He wanted the man to be happy, wanted to please him in a way that he hadn't wanted to please the bad man.
His claws dug deep into the soil as he rose to his legs again. He lifted his big head and looked up against the darkening sky. A sound to his left made his ears twist but he remained still.
He slowly started moving again. There were shards of glass in his fur. He could feel something in him call out, something that needed the comfort that he had now left.
He snorted and shook his head. There were so many smells. His attention perked forward when he heard some sounds from a clearing close by where he stood.
He started moving forward towards the sounds. He stopped before he could be seen from his cover behind the trees. There were two people, one of them had a gun and when he breathed in he could smell something that tickled his nose, made it itch. He pawed at his nose and tried to make the itch go away, somehow he knew that if he made a sound, the people in front of him would do bad things.
He couldn't hear the men talk but suddenly a laugh was broken by the silence and the black-brown wolf escaped before he could reveal himself to the bad men.
He lifted his head against the sky and let out a loud howl before he darted away and deeper into the forest, to a part where the wolf knew that nobody would ever go to.
A/N.
How did I do? Did you like the last part? I'm not entirely happy with how the first part of the chapter went but do tell me what you thought in a review and if you have any ideas for the scenes between Scott and Peter that I'm going to do soon.
