Sorry it's a day late guys!
As always a shout out to Lindsabt, revolutionfanatic, and She-WolfMoon for reviewing!
Enjoy the new chapter!
Waking up I flinch as pain shot through my thigh; feeling hands on my side I opened my eyes to see Derek, concern clear on his face as he helped me sit up.
"How are you feeling?"
"I hurt."
He smiled.
"Give it a few more minutes, it'll be ok."
I nodded, leaning against him as the pain slowly wore off.
"Wow."
"Feel better?"
I nodded, genuinely surprised at how much better I felt.
"This is amazing."
He nodded watching as I sniffed the air, the musty scent of iron was thick in the train yard, closing my eyes I smelt something fresh, turning my head I felt myself whimper at the smell of mint and spring rain. Hearing a snicker I looked up to see I was practically shoving my nose against Derek's neck. Pulling back I blushed.
"Sorry."
He laughed and kissed me.
"You smell good too."
"Can you two stop?"
We looked up to see a very sleepy Isaac looking at us.
"Sorry sweetie."
He shook his head and walked over to us, sitting next to me as I felt the over whelming urge to mother the teenager and make sure he was ok after last night. Derek laughed at me.
"I didn't realize you would be affected so quickly."
I looked at him, curiosity clear on my face.
"You're the alpha female, that's why you're trying to mother Isaac."
"Oh."
He nodded, watching in amusement as I adjusted to my new senses, my head spinning for a moment before my world came back into focus.
"This is...wow."
Derek laughed as he watched Isaac and I move around each other, I could feel what he was sensing, he felt like pack, it was strange to say the least.
"Derek?"
I looked over at Isaac as Derek did the same.
"There's a girl at school that needs the bite."
"Who?"
"Her names Erica, she has seizures, and is epileptic. She's a good kid."
Derek nodded.
"I'll ask. Stay here."
"Can I go?"
Derek looked at me, eyebrow raised.
"I want you to stay here with Isaac."
I nodded and kissed him.
"Good luck."
He nodded and climbed the stairs leaving me with the teenager.
"So what's your story pup?"
He blinked at the term before sighing, and explaining his life to me, his mother dying, the abuse from his father, being stuck in a freezer, and his father dying. At the end of it he was snuggled into my side and I was nuzzling his hair, relying on my newfound instinct to comfort him.
That was how Derek found us when he came back a few hours later with a confused, and sad looking blonde behind him.
"Destiny, this is Erica."
I stood up and smiled at her, instantly realizing she was part of the pack.
"Hi sweetie."
She hesitantly smiled at me as I gently hugged her, my smile growing when she relaxed and hugged me back, pulling away I looked at Derek.
"How long ago did you bite her?"
"Two hours, she's almost done with the transition."
I nodded and touched her frizzy hair, unable to hide a thoughtful look.
"Why don't we get you cleaned up? Make you look more like the wolf you are."
She nodded, still shy and unsure as I looked at Derek who nodded in agreement.
"Do me a favor sour wolf."
"What's that?"
"Look for an apartment or something, cause this isn't going to work and I would love to get out from under dads roof."
He laughed and nodded as I kissed his cheek before grabbing Erica's hand and pulled her behind me as I lead the way to my car. Unlocking it I watched Erica as she slowly climbed in and looked around at the interior.
"Why do you drive this and Stiles drives a crap Jeep?"
I laughed at her question as I speed dialed my hair stylist.
"Our dad told us that if we wanted a car we would have to buy it ourselves. I went my entire high school career without a car, saving every penny I could. And when I started college I had enough saved so I could pay the down payment on this."
I tapped the steering wheel.
"It wasn't the best car when I bought it, it had been rolled in a wreck and the owner of the car lot was about to crush it when I said I wanted it. Within a month I had it paid off and by the next year I had all repairs fixed and painted the custom color it is now."
"Wow."
I laughed as my stylist finally picked up the phone.
"What's up Des?"
"Hey Trey, are you done for the night?"
"Almost, why?"
I sighed.
"I have someone that desperately needs your help."
There was a pause as he sighed.
"Fine, you owe me."
"Of course I do, I'll be there in five."
Ending the call I smiled at the blonde.
"You'll love him."
Two hours later Erica had smooth hair that fell in natural waves, we had a list of products to pick up, and I owed my stylist a night of free drinks at the club. All in all we were happy as I drove her to the nearest Walmart.
"I want a new style."
"And what do you want your new style to say?"
She paused as we walked into the store, grabbed a basket and picked up all the hair products she needed, along with some makeup.
"I was invisible yesterday, I don't want to be invisible anymore, I want to be sexy, like you."
I paused and looked at her, feeling a small since of pride as I realized the teenager was looking up to me after only three hours together.
"Just remember, nothing is sexier than confidence."
She nodded, as I looked down at my outfit to prove me point, a simple navy blue tank top, an over size grey jacket I had stolen from Derek, black sweat pants that hung low on my hips, and blue flip flops, in short I looked like I just rolled out of bed, and had all the confidence in the world. Walking over to the clothing section I watched as Erica had fun pulling out different pieces, some I nodded in agreement and others I shook my head with a simple 'hell no' causing her to laugh and put it back. Three long hours later we were finally done shopping and were finally headed to her house, pulling to a stop I smiled at the two story house as Erica smiled at me.
"Be good sweetie, Derek and I are picking you up at lunch tomorrow, don't forget."
"I won't."
I smiled at her and hugged her.
"Have any problems you call me, okay?"
"Okay."
Watching her grab her bags and walk into her house I sighed and drove home, smiling at my dad.
"Hey."
"Have fun?"
"Lots, I'm really tired, I'm going to bed."
He nodded and let me go to bed without a full interrogation.
Sliding into Derek's car I kissed his neck lovingly as I slid into the back so Erica could sit in the front when we picked her up.
"Did you two have fun yesterday?"
"We did, she looks amazing."
He nodded as we pulled in front of the school, pausing he rolled down the window as Erica walked out of the school. Smiling I reached forward and hugged her lightly as Derek smiled at Scott and my brother before taking off towards the train station.
"Why are we going to the station?"
"You three need to train."
I sighed.
"Whatever Mr. Alpha."
He chuckled.
"Have you even told your brother yet?"
I sighed and shook my head.
"No not yet, I will soon though. Oh, I have to leave in a few hours, Matt and I are looking at new property to open a new club."
He nodded as he drove, eventually pulling to a stop outside the station.
Collapsing onto the couch I sighed, my body hurt, Derek was a mean tutor, he had tossed me into the wall more times than I could count as well as throwing me on the ground. When I met with Matt we still weren't happy with the property, so we would have to keep looking, not to mention it was a physically demanding night with rowdy customers that had deliberately walked into my club with the intention of starting a fight. Relaxing I felt my body healing as Stiles walked in holding his head.
"What happened to you?"
He looked up, blinking at me before I could see the anxiety setting in.
"Where have you been?"
"With Derek."
"He bit you."
I paused and raised an eyebrow.
"How do you know?"
"Had a feeling, as to what happened to me, you're new pack mate hit me in the head with part of my motor and left me in a dumpster to die!"
"Erica did?"
"Yes!"
I sighed and laid back down, throwing my arm over my eyes.
"I'm going to neuter Derek."
"Good. What are we going to do about my Jeep? It's going to cost a fortune to fix!"
I groaned, my brother getting on my nerves.
"I'll pay for it, I should have been paying attention to what Derek was planning anyway. Credit card is in my wallet."
I pointed towards my purse as I looked at Stiles as he moved his hand away revealing a giant red mark across the right side of his face.
"She caught you pretty good."
"Shut up."
So what do we think?
Remember to review and I will update Monday!
