Chapter 5
I do not own Teen Wolf in any way.
Eventually, it was time for everyone to go back to school.
Nicholai had woken up and Lilith had found an apartment nearby for them to live in, until the rest of the pack got there.
"Are you sure you're up to fighting speed?" Paige asked Isaac as he got ready for school.
"It's school Paige. Pretty sure I can handle it", Isaac told her.
Paige looked at him and Isaac sighed.
"I'm serious Paige. I feel much better", he said, "Besides, you need to worry about yourself".
Isaac walked past her and Paige grabbed his arm.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" she snapped.
"Let it go Paige", Isaac growled.
When they got to school, Isaac turned to Paige. "I'm sorry for what I said", Isaac said, "I'm just worried".
"What about me Isaac? I'm terrified. You don't seem to understand. I could die. Die. Having Camden. Young she-wolves always have high risk pregnancies", Paige said. Paige looked away from him as tears filled her eyes.
"Paige. Baby look at me", Isaac said.
Paige reluctantly looked at him.
"I love you. I always will. You know that", Isaac told her. He leaned over and kissed her, which led to a heated make out session before the bell rang.
"Go. Coach will be angry if you're late", she said pushing Isaac away.
Isaac grabbed his stuff and kissed her one last time before running into the school.
After class, Scott and Isaac met Paige by her locker.
"Don't let it bother you. It's just lunchtime detention. If all they want right now is to piss you off, then don't give in. They're just trying to get to you", Scott told Isaac.
"You got detention?" Paige asked Isaac.
"Yes, the twins set me up", Isaac growled.
"Like Scott said, don't let them get to you okay? Focus on me and Camden", she said putting Isaac's hand on her stomach.
"It's not just me", Isaac said looking across the hall to where Aiden was talking with Lydia.
Aiden looked over at the three and smiled. Winking at Paige.
"What?" Scott snapped at Isaac.
"Now they're getting to you", Isaac said. He kissed Paige and walked off.
"Easy Scott. Don't do anything stupid", Paige told him as he stormed off.
When would the boys start listening to her?
While the others were school, the Alpha Pack attacked Derek and Cora at the loft.
Cora got pinned down by Ennis and Derek was impaled by Kali.
"Everybody done? 'Cause just listening to that was exhausting. So... Let's chat", Deucalion said entering the loft. "Sorry about this, Derek. I asked Kali to be gentle, but..." Deucalion said.
"This is me being gentle", Kali said twisting the pipe in Derek's body. "Let... let her go", Derek said.
Ennis let go of Cora and she ran towards Derek.
"No", he told her.
"See? We're not unreasonable", Deucalion said.
"What do you want? You want to kill me?" Derek asked.
"You really think I'm that boring? Don't throw me in with sociopaths like your Uncle. I'm a man with far more vision than simple murder. In fact... I'm here to show you just how much vision a blind man can have", Deucalion told him.
The longer the pipe stayed in Derek, the more blood he lost.
"You're killing him!" Cora yelled.
"Not yet, little sister. But I could", Kali said, "Who knows if it's five minutes or five hours before it's too late to take this thing out? But just to be on the safe side, Duke, you might want to get to the point".
"Now you see the one problem with being in an Alpha pack. Everybody wants to make the decisions. Me? I'm more about discovering new talents... Like you and your sister", Deucalion said.
"Not interested", Derek said.
"But you haven't even heard my pitch", Deucalion said.
"You want me to... Kill my own pack", Derek said.
"No. I want you to kill one of them. Of course, I wouldn't ask you to kill Paige. I need her for another reason. Do that, and I won't have to ask you to kill the others. You'll do it on your own. I did it. Ennis did. Kali did. Tell him what it's like, Kali, to kill one of your own", Deucalion said.
"Mm... Liberating", Kali said.
"Listen to me, Derek. Do you really want to stay beholden to a couple of maladjusted teenagers bound to become a liability? And believe me, they will become a liability. In fact... I have a feeling one of them is getting himself into trouble right now", Deucalion said.
"I'll save you some lunch to eat later", Paige told Isaac as she walked him to the chemistry classroom.
"Thanks. I'll see you later", he said and kissed her goodbye.
She went into the cafeteria and sat down with Scott and Stiles.
"You okay?" Scott asked, noticing the she-wolf's discomfort.
"Yeah. Stiles come here", she said.
Stiles sat next to her and she placed his hand on her stomach.
"Press down right there gently", she told him and he did. "Come on Camden", she said trying to reposition him. She eventually got Camden to turn. "Thank you Stiles", Paige said stroking her stomach. A few minutes later, she sat up and said, "Isaac. Something's wrong with Isaac". She got up and Scott followed her.
As they got closer, they could hear Isaac yelling.
"It's coming from the janitor's closet", Scott said. Scott moved the soda machine blocking the door and pulled Isaac out. Scott pinned him down by the throat and growled Isaac's name.
Isaac's eyes returned to normal and he sat against the wall.
Paige sat beside him while Scott checked on Allison. "I'm okay. I'm fine", she said. She had a scratch on her arm.
"I'm sorry, I didn't... I didn't mean to do that", Isaac whimpered.
"I'm okay", Allison repeated.
"I'm so sorry", Isaac told her.
"Shhh", Paige said trying to calm her mate.
"It's not his fault", Allison said.
"I know. I guess now we know they want to do more than get you angry. They want to get someone hurt", Scott said.
"We have to do something", Paige told Scott.
"Yeah. I'm gonna get them angry. Really angry", Scott said.
They ended up hot-wiring one of the twins' motorcycles.
"How long is this gonna take?" Isaac said.
The engine started and Isaac got on the bike.
"Maybe you should upgrade from that bike of yours", Paige said.
"Okay. Pull back with your left hand. Kick down to put in gear. Front brake. Throttle. Back brake for stopping. Try not to crash", Allison told him.
"Yeah. Been there, done that", Isaac told her.
Both Allison and Paige took a picture of Isaac with their phones.
"This is totally my new background", Paige said, "If I weren't pregnant already, I'd jump you right here in the parking lot".
"Umm…Paige. We have to get to class", Allison told her.
Paige kissed Isaac goodbye and followed Allison into the building.
They went and sat down in their English class. They heard the motorcycle rev and Aiden ran out of the classroom. Everyone followed him out of the classroom.
Aiden was standing by his bike.
"You have got to be kidding me. You realize this is gonna result in a suspension", Mrs. Blake said.
The twins looked over at Isaac, Allison, Scott, and Paige.
The three simply smirked.
"See, the reason I'm always invested in new talent is simple. We all know a pack is strongest due to its individual parts. The stronger the individual parts, the greater the whole. When I lost my sight, one of my betas assumed I wasn't fit for my role anymore. He tried to take it from me. Killing him taught me something about alphas I didn't know they could do. His power was added to mine. I became stronger, faster, more powerful than I'd ever been. I tested this new ability to subsume the power of your own by killing another one. In fact, Derek, I killed them all. I took the individual parts and became a greater individual whole", Deucalion said.
He knelt down and grabbed Derek's head. He felt his face. "You're right, Kali. He looks like his mother. And from what I've heard, Paige looks like her too. You'll get to know me, Derek. Like she did", Deucalion told him.
"I know you. I know what you are. You're a fanatic", Derek said.
"Know me? You've never seen anything like me. I am the Alpha of alphas. I am the apex of apex predators! I am death, destroyer of worlds! I am the demon-wolf!" Deucalion yelled.
It started thundering and lightning.
Kali pulled the metal pole out of Derek's body.
"Hate it when that happens", Deucalion said.
Derek collapsed to the ground next to the puddle of his blood.
"What do you want with Paige?" Derek asked him.
"Ah yes. Paige. You'll find out sooner or later", Deucalion said and left with his pack.
Cora ran over to Derek.
At the end of the school day, Paige was walking down the stairs with Isaac and Scott.
"Yeah, I wish I could have seen their faces. They look seriously pissed?" Isaac asked.
"Yeah", Scott said.
They stopped in the middle of the hallway. The twins were standing on the opposite end.
"Kind of like that", Scott said.
"Paige…go back to the loft", Isaac told her.
She quickly kissed Isaac and ran out to her car.
When Isaac got back to the loft that night, Paige was crying on the couch. Isaac immediately ran over to Paige. "Baby, what's wrong?" he asked her.
She looked over at Derek.
"You need to leave", Derek said staring out the window at the rain.
"Ah... I don't get it. Look, did something happen?" Isaac asked.
"It's just not gonna work with all three of you here. I've got my sisters now. It's too much. I need you out tonight", Derek told him.
"Where am I supposed to go?" Isaac asked him.
"Somewhere else", Derek said.
"Did I do something wrong, Derek?" Isaac asked softly.
Derek turned around to face him. "You're doing something wrong right now by not leaving", Derek said.
"Oh, come on", Isaac said.
"Just get out", Derek told him.
"Derek, please", Isaac pleaded.
"Get out", Derek repeated.
"Come on", Isaac begged.
"Go!" Derek yelled. He threw his glass at Isaac.
It hit the pillar behind Isaac and shattered.
The room was silent, except for the sound of thunder.
Isaac straightened back up and glared at Derek. Isaac grabbed his stuff and headed for the door.
Paige got up and followed him. "Isaac…" she said, "Please!"
Isaac gathered her in his arms. He didn't say anything. "I'll come see when I can", he said. He kissed her forehead and started for the stairs.
Paige made her way back into the loft. She marched straight up to Derek and slapped him. "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM!?" she yelled, "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU DEREK!" She went up to her room and threw herself on her bed.
Camden started shifting around.
"I know baby", she said trying to soothe him. Her pup could sense his father wasn't around and that was what really broke Paige's heart.
What do you think Deucalion wants with Paige? How will Paige and Isaac cope being away from each other? Also, prepare yourselves for OC's. A whole pack of them!
