I do not own the characters of Teen Wolf. I only own this story and the character I have created for the purpose of this story. Reviews are appreciated. I love to know what you think.
"No! You know I would never betray you like that! It wasn't supposed to end like that! Give me another chance! Let me make this right!" a female voice cried out in a desperate manner, a frantic hint in her voice. Fear lacing her veins and making her heart thrum with adrenaline, pulsing it throughout her body, the urgency in her voice picking up and the adrenaline surging faster when her body was encased in icy water, the weakened ice cracking out from under her the minute she was pushed onto it.
"I'm taking care of it by getting rid of a liability." spoke a male voice from the surface on land, his pale eyes watching as the girl made a feeble attempt to make it back to the surface, back to the hole that she had fallen through. Her fists were raised and slamming against the underside of the ice, her now bleeding nails scrapping against the ice in an attempt to claw her way free from the cold depths of the water. Her mouth opened in a silent scream, bubbles of air rising from her throat and out her lips, her eyes rolling back into her head seconds before the water rushed into her lungs.
Derek's green eyes snapped open, his vision blurry and alarmed as he felt two sets of arms hauling him up into a sitting position, those hands hitting against his bare back. It took him a while to realize why that was happening until he realized that he couldn't breathe, his lungs unable to expand to take in air. His eyes widened in hints of fear as he tilted his head back a bit, his chest straining to rise to bring in air, sharp and relentless gasps leaving his tinted blue lips.
"Come on. Come on. Scott, grab me that basin." ordered Aiden as his brother continued to hit the back of the wolf's back, using a fist now in order to emit more force. Scott quickly grabbed the basin by the bed and handed it to Aiden, just in time for his other Beta to get a good breath in, gasping harshly as he seemed to be spitting out mouthful after mouthful of water. Derek made the move to rub at his now raw throat, only have his hand guided back away in a gentle grasp. He brought his shaking hands up and curled them into fists, resting his head on them as his sides heaved as he brought lungful after lungful of air in.
"What the hell? How did you two?" started Scott as he tried to ask two questions at once, his eyes darting from the three wolves, his hands rubbing soothing circles into the oldest Beta's back.
"I heard him gasping and his heart was racing. Ethan heard the fluid in his lungs." explained Aiden as they both continued to keep the older wolf propped up, feeling his body shaking against theirs.
"Derek? What happened?" asked the True Alpha as he reached over and guided the wolf's fists down into his lap, where they rested and continued to shake.
"Murder. She was murdered, shoved under the ice, she drowned." exclaimed Derek in a rush as his now icy blue eyes looked towards his Alpha, only turning back to green when the younger wolf let his brown eyes bleed to red.
"Who? Derek, who was murdered?" asked Ethan as he rubbed his hand up and down the older wolf's arm to give him any sense of comfort.
"Whoever is inside of me, she was murdered, she was showing it through me, I guess." explained the blue eyed Beta as he made a move to get out of his bed, only to get pushed back onto the bed by his Alpha, feeling the two sets of the arms from the other Beta's come around his waist, holding him as if he were a pup, gentle but secure grasps.
"You are in no shape to do much of anything right now, Der. Stiles and I informed the rest of the Pack about what was going on, they know what to look for now and how to react. You need to rest right now, you need to keep your strength up for when it comes to fighting with the Incubus. You need a strong chance." explained Scott as he gave his Beta's shoulder a firm squeeze.
"I'm guessing that means shifting is out of the option?" asked the older wolf as he looked towards the brown eyed teen with hints of a desperate look in his eyes. Scott bit his bottom lip as he considered and weighed the options of his Beta shifting, worry filling his usually calm eyes.
"You can try and shift as long as both Ethan and Aiden are in the room, as well as myself. I don't want to take any chances, Derek." explained the Alpha as he nodded at the three Betas in the bedroom. The oldest wolf leaned over and rubbed his cheek against the younger wolf's shoulder, a satisfied sound leaving his lips at the chance of being able to shift. Fear prickled in the back of the Beta's mind as he eased himself off the bed and down onto the floor, he didn't know whether the pain of the shift would spark even more intense pain of the Incubus.
"Take it slow." ordered Scott as he got off the bed and settled himself on the floor near the oldest wolf, his back resting against the side of the bed. They all knew that shifting was Derek's go-to way of comfort when he was too shy to ask for it himself. The blue eyed Beta stretched his arms in front of his head and arched his back a bit to relieve the slight tension in his muscles. He lowered his head a bit, baring the back of his neck and a section of his spine as he willed his wolf forward, familiarizing himself with the color of his wolf's fur, the size of its body, the sleekness of his muscles and the power and strength that surged through them. His wolf rammed into him without a second thought, without a warning, rocking his body forward from the force. His muscles began to tear from bone, bones dislocating and fracturing beneath his skin, a deep and throaty groan leaving his lips. His green eyes shut tightly as his spine bowed and arched, the vertebrae shifting and tearing from his spinal chord. It took all of a few seconds for the wolves to take in the change of Derek's scent before his heart began to race in his chest. His back arched further than naturally possible, his claws scrapping deep lines into the floor beneath him, his head thrown back in a yowl that turned into a silent scream.
"Shit!" exclaimed Aiden as he hurled himself off of the bed just in time to guide the older Beta's writhing body to the floor before he completely collapsed. They all watched with wide eyes as the shift was reversed in sharp snapping sounds of bone, the laced sound of muscles securing back together before securing to bone. Derek curled in on himself as his body writhed and twitched in agony, his muscles coiling and relaxing in a frantic matter before his eyes snapped open, the green color fading before a full black filled his eyes.
