Dear Genim Stilinski,
On behalf of those here at Yale University I would like to congratulate you and welcome you to the Yale family….
"This is great Stiles" Kat said, as she read the letter. "What's the problem?"
"The problem is that I wanted to leave without being noticed by the pack. But then this thing had to arrive now everyone knows where I will be going. That was the point of doing everything else in secret Kat!"
"Don't be such a big baby. A lot more envelopes like this will be arriving soon enough. And they're not just for you. Ryan got into Yale as well and then you both will have to make a decision. Together."
"why aren't you going to school? Why doesn't Jackson have to go!? Or Scott! Or Isaac! How come I'm the only one that has to go back to school. By myself might I add!"
"Because you're the one that wanted to do everything in secret. If you had wanted Scott and Isaac to join you would have told them to which schools you were applying too. But you didn't so you'll be attending school with Ryan. Now stop whining and get the hell out of my office. You're giving me a head ache and for Lucifers sake just talk to Derek! I'm getting tired of his howling"
"You didn't answer my first question"
"And you're avoiding the situation. I already went to school in this lifetime Stiles. I'm not going to go through that again. And if you want proof go through that file cabinet over there. All my diplomas should be in there."
"What school did you go through in this lifetime?"
"Norwich University in Vermont. I went as a cadet not a civilian. My class rings are also there." Kat said looking down at her laptop. Stiles almost felt bad for being in her office this late at night. But she was the one that was up at 3 in the morning. One of the twins was curled up on her couch with a stuffed black wolf in his arms. Tony was on the floor clutching onto to Jacksons sleeping form. Clearly Jackie and Kat made up.
Rings from West Point, Norwich and other military academies were in the bottom of the cabinet. There were diplomas from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Berkley, University of Chicago, NYU, Columbia, and others. Kat was pretty much a doctor in everything.
"You had a thing for Military Academies?"
"They were always funner. The guys are always hotter. Jackson graduated from Harvard with Isaac. Boyd and Erica went to UIC in Chicago. To answer your many questions" Kat announced. "Military academies provided me with a sense of family I know it's hard to imagine but they did. West Point is probably one of my favorites. If not the favorite. I'm thinking of going back there in the next lifetime. See how much things have changed." Stiles nodded along. Still looking through the many diplomas and admiring the many class rings. "If that will be all I ask you to take the twins into their room and get Jackson of my floor"
"Sure thing mom"
"Don't call me that"
"Kat?"
"Yes Erica?"
"I'm not going to apologize for my behavior. Derek sent me to apologize but I'm not going to. I don't care that you gave me my life back. What happened was your fault. If it weren't for you everything would have been fine" Erica spoke determinedly. In her mind the only thing that Kat brought was pain and death. Nothing else. The pack would have never been in that situation if she would have just left them alone.
"Erica, dear, please learn to hold your tongue. It isn't becoming of a young lady like yourself. It also isn't going to prove your point. Now if I actually cared about you opinion I would defend what happened and what I did. But I don't care. Therefore whatever comes out of your mouth is of little importance. I know you think you're queen of the world or whatever. But you need to take your ego down a few notches. Before another wolf does and takes you down completely. Now leave my office." Erica walked out of the office with a angry snarl. She had never been dismissed that way. Never. Not by an Alpha not even by Derek.
"Well what did you expect? Her to give her position as Alpha Female to you? Just because Stiles left doesn't mean that you'll get away with whatever seduction plan you have for Derek now. You should just stop trying." Jackson said leaning against the wall looking towards Erica with disdain. "Quite pathetic don't you think? Its kinda sad that you still have the hope that he'll leave Stiles for you"
"What do you know about it. You've always gotten what you wanted rich boy. You have no idea what it feels like to fall in love with someone who will never love you back"
"You think I don't know?! That's bull shit! Lydia never loved me! She only said she did because I was the only one that could put up with her shit besides Stiles! I know exactly what it feels like!"
"You still have Kat! She loves you! And you're too fucking blind to see it! I don't have anyone"
"Kat doesn't love me!"
"Yes she does! She wouldn't have let you take Abaddons spirit into you! She did it to keep you by her side the only way she could!"
"..." Jackson couldn't say anything. he stayed quiet and looked at Erica. It didn't help that they were right outside of Kats office and she probably heard everything. Only he could get himself in these situations.
"Jackson? Can you come in here please?" shit, fuck, of course. Erica looked at Jackson with a smug look.
"Have fun"
Walking into Kats office felt like a punishment. He was terrified of what she would say. Kat was standing turned away from looking out the window. When he moved to stand behind her he could see the twins chasing Isaac, Scott, and Derek in their wolf forms. It wasn't overly cute but it was enough to make him go "aw".
"Do you really not think that I love you? That I would do anything for you? Because I would. I would die for you. I mean if I could that is. But I can't so I can't promise that type of sacrifice"
"Kat, I didn't mean it like that. I didn't. I just it's been 3 years and I think I'm in love with you but I don't know for sure cause you're you"
"Because I'm me? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Am I not good enough for the captain of the lacrosse team Jackson? Is that it?" she still wasn't looking at him. But her words were full of sadness. He was scared of what he might see in her eyes.
"Its not like that Kat. You know it's not. Its just. I met this girl and I have no idea what my feelings are right now. I think I love you but I really like her. And yeah I sound like an asshole but that's how I feel right now. "
"Get out. Just fucking leave Jackson. I'm not going to be second best."
"For what it's worth. I'm sorry. I'm leaving the manor tomorrow. I'm going to go to Chicago to meet up with her."
"Jackson. Get the fuck out of here now. And don't ever come back unless it's time."
*break*
Dear, derek
I'm sorry to do things this way. But I feel as if I'm not wanted anymore. Since you said no the pack refuses to acknowledge me and I can't live like that. None of them will talk to me and I guess I can't blame them. They know what it feels like to be dead and they don't want to go through that again and because of me they will have too. I guess I just want to say goodbye. I will be back but maybe in another life time. Things aren't at the best place right now and it's hard for me and you to be together anyways. I'll send you a letter for each year I spend a college but that's it. You can't reply and I won't contact you in another way. I'll come back when things are under control. In the meanwhile take care of Kat, shes broken and needs someone like you to understand. I guess that's why the two of you were together in the first place huh? Accept His offer and become the Alpha you are meant to be. I'll find my own way and become the warlock I'm supposed to be. Please understand why I'm doing this. Its killing me to leave but I have too. Good Bye Alpha
-forever yours, Stiles
"We'll be okay won't we Kat?"
"I don't know Der. I don't know anymore"
"Its me and you against the world again"
"It looks that way"
Year 1
Dear, Derek
Its been a year and here is my first letter. What can I say I mean college is a pain in my ass. it's hard but it will be worth it in the end. Still no luck with the potion but hey I'm only 22 I'll find it at some point. I hope you said yes and that you're immortal. I hope that what the news said about Jacksons marriage to that Katelyn chick isn't true. Kat is probably miserable right now isn't she? Is her fault? That these wars are going on I mean. Did she cause them or? I don't know why I'm even asking it's not like you can reply anyways. I heard Erica broke off from the pack. Does that mean she'll lose her immortality? If it does that kinda sucks for her but she treated me the worst so I don't really feel bad. I met someone. I know that's not what you wanna hear but I did. Her name is Isabelle and guess what? She's an Archangel just like Kat. Only she's not as powerful and that makes her a little bitter but she's great and she makes me feel loved. I still haven't decided on my major yet but I still have time. Kat and Jackson visit me sometimes. Secretly of course. You probably don't even know where I am but that's a good thing. I miss you. So freaking much. Sometimes when Isabelle kisses me I compare it to how you used to kiss me.
But let's talk about you. The media is going insane about the new girl on your arm. We both know that's the mother of your children but they don't. I'm happy you and Kat found solace in each other once again. Its for the best. You're more powerful then ever aren't you? You've declared a couple wars and taken over a couple countries but that's why they call you Warlord isn't it. I hope your happy wherever you are now. But I hope you know that I love you. Not like I once did but I still do. Just keep that mind will ya sourwolf?
Forever Yours, Stiles
Year 2
Derek
Sophmore year in college is a pain in my ass. There are these kids from this program called "International Baccalaureate" and they're kinda freaking perfect. They handle everything like it's no big deal. Every deadline every finals it's easy for them. But at the same time it's not. The proffs expect so much more from them. The first thing they ask is "who here is from the IB program" and there's normally like 3 kids and the other kids sneer at them while the proff goes "good, I expect great things from you all". I feel bad for them sometimes.
But on to me. Isabelle and I are still going strong. Its been a year now and she's great. I met a demon named Juanito, he's sorta my best friend right now. He's been helping me gather materials in order to complete the ritual. He's awesome. His girlfriend Brenda is an angel so it's kinda weird to see them together. But they're perfect for each other. You can see it. There's this other girl. She's their bestfriend her name is Britt and she's human. Surprisingly enough. She has boyfriend in the marines so she's lonely sometimes but she's great once you get to know her. When we met she told Brenda "B, don't tell people I'm nice. Just tell them I'm a bitch and they'll get used to it". I laughed my ass off. She's not one to hold back and I love her for that. I'm sure Kat would've loved her too.
How is Kat? She hasn't been in the news like at all. Why is that? Is she pregnant again? If she is that's great. Maybe she'll get that girl she always wanted.
I've picked my major. I'm going to be a psychologist and then go on to graduate school. Its going to take a awhile but you're only getting two more letters like I first said. But yeah. There's not much else to tell you. But I miss you and I love you.
-with love, Stiles
Year 3
D-
Hey, how are you? I'm great. I love college. I don't think I told you this but! Britt,Brenda, and Juanito are all IB kids and they're totally helping me out with everything. They're teaching me all their little IB tricks so college is easier now.
Isabelle and I broke up. It was for the best. She has to do her angel duties and I have to do my warlock duties so you know yeah.
-Stiles
4th year
D-
I'm graduating and what not this year. Brenda and Juanito are totes getting married. Britt is disgusted. Her boyfriend is on leave so she's disgusted and happy all at the same time. I'm actually with Ryan now. Something about me and him just clicked. Its great. Well yeah. I'm going on to graduate school and well yeah.
-S
Each year the letters got shorter and shorter. Each more impersonal then the last. It hurt Derek to know that he was unimportant to Stiles. Just a duty now. It hurt Derek more then he couldn't reply. Because Stiles didn't want him to and because Derek had no idea where he was. Stiles going to graduate school meant that he wouldn't see him for 4 more years. And that thought killed Derek. But it could be worse. But at least Stiles was writing. At least Derek knew he was okay.
Derek answered every question Stiles asked in his mind. Yes Kat was pregnant. Yes they finally got the girl they always wanted. No she didn't cause ALL the wars. Just the first one that is. She was pissed about Jackson. Yes Jackson really go married to that chick.
But everyday Derek gained more power and lost more hope of Stiles coming back. And yet Derek loved him more and more each day.
Its been 8 years since I last saw Derek and I am afraid that he won't love me anymore. It probably sounds stupid seeing as how I treated Derek before. But I can't help it I'm still very much in love with him.
Juanito eventually helped me figure out what the ritual was. So now I can't die. Well I can but nobody needs to know that. Not really anyways.
It sucks to know that the pack still hates me. But now it's because I left Derek behind. And I kind of hate me too. Britt died in order for me to become immortal. And Brenda kind of hates me now. I took away the only person she had left considering that Juanito had gone back to hell. It was his life after all. I'm hated by a lot of people now and to be honest I'm not surprised.
But now as I walk up to the big house I'm not sure what to expect
"Hi! Who are you?! My momma Kat isn't home and my daddy Derek is in his big office."
"Courtney!? What did I say about opening the door to random strang-" Derek cut himself off and stood at the door staring. "Stiles" and bam! The door was shut in Stiles face.
I'm late, I'm late for an very important date. Great now I sound like the freaking rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. I just need a top hat, a coat , some gloves and a ocket watch.
"Kat?"
"Jackson?!"
"How are you? Its been a while"
"Awhile?" she scoffed. "More like a life time sweet heart. I got by Elizabeth in this time."
"Oh well yeah. My name is Edward, in this life time I mean. How is everyone?"
"Uh? I assume you mean Derek and Stiles. They're fine. Stiles ended up figuring out the ritual during graduate school so he's like us. And Derek is still running things of course. Just underground until he can emerge again. The pack is doing okay. Erica ended up breaking off and forming her own pack down in South America. Scott and Isaac have 3 kids. Um Boyd found his mate in a wolf named um I forgot. Peter is in coma since Stiles totally kicked his ass in a challenge one day. Cora is still in Chicago."
"That's good. How are you?"
"I'm good. I'm heading down to a wedding"
Jacksons smile turned sly. "Who's wedding would that be"
Kat returned his smile and let a chucked escape her smile. "My own actually. But you already know that"
"Well I mean. I got a letter announcing the marriage of " Edward Blake and Elizabeth Delacrux" but I wasn't sure"
"Mm well would you mind escorting me then Mr. Blake?"
"Of course not Ms. Delacrux"
"You think they would get tired of doing that." Stiles whispered to Derek as they walked behind the happy couple. "They do this every time they find each other."
"Let them have their moment Stiles. Its their thing. Besides if that means leaving you and I alone for a couple of hours I don't care how many times they do that" Derek said pushing stiles up against a wall in the alley.
It had been twelve long years of dancing around each other and finally Derek could call Stiles his again. And Stiles was his to keep. Every year, every life time was different from the last. And Derek was happy to know that his pack survived through the war years. That his sons would never have to bury their father. And that Kat was happy.
But most importantly that he had Stiles in his arms once again. And this time it was for eternity.
They say that love is forever.
You're forever is all that I need.
please stay as long as you need
Can't promise that things won't be broken but I swear that I will never leave
please stay forever with me.
Authors note: thats the end! Its over. Forever. I guess. Lol I dunno. I might do a Stiles at college type of thing but I'm not sure yet. So we'll see. If you can convince me I'll do a super duper long epilogue including all the characters but other then that. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this.
