Well I decided to play nice.
Since I'm killing time before work I figured an update was in order!
A quick shout out to She-WolfMoon and revolutionfanatic for reviewing!
Enjoy the new chapter!
Sneaking to my car I drove to the train station, smiling at Derek as I wondered down to him, sleeping bag in hand.
"I don't know what it is, I just can't sleep alone."
He smirked and motioned for me to follow him, smiling I walked into the train car, pausing when I saw Isaac and Erica sitting on the floor on their own sleeping bags.
"That's it, we are finding an apartment tomorrow."
I glared up at Derek as he nodded in agreement, watching as I laid my sleeping bag between the teenagers, nuzzling Isaac's neck in acknowledgement, causing the teenager to relax and smile at me. Turning I smiled at Erica, who looked confused as Derek took his seat behind me so I could lean against him as he nuzzled my hair.
"It's because I haven't established a connection with you honey, not the way I'm connected to Isaac and Derek."
Seeing the hurt look in her eyes I smiled and pulled away from Derek, standing up I offered her my hand, reaching up she grabbed my hand, allowing me to pull her to her feet. Shooting a smile at Derek I lead the teenager out of the train station, remembering how I connected with Isaac. Jumping up I climbed onto the roof and patted the spot next to me, relaxing a little more when she sat next to me.
"So how do we make a connection?"
I laughed at her question.
"Isaac told me his story and we connected that way, you could try that?"
She sighed and looked thoughtful for a moment before sighing and told me a story about a seizure she had, how she was grateful she never remembered them until cameras were put in phones and kids started posting videos of her on the internet. By the end of it she was crying and I was hugging her, nuzzling against her neck in comfort, we sat like that for a few minutes until her crying died down and I could feel the bond between us. When she was ready she pulled back and smiled at me before standing up and leading the way back to the boys, smiling I followed after her. Reaching the boys I smiled at Derek as I moved to my spot in front of him as everyone bedded down for the night, Derek curled around me, wrapping an arm around my waist, while using the other arm as a pillow. Closing my eyes I fell asleep, completely happy and feeling safe, the only thing that would make this moment better would have been an actual bed.
Being nudged awake it took a moment to realize where I was and why I couldn't move. Looking around I realized the weight on my waist was Derek's arm; the weight on my legs was Isaac, who was lying with his head lying on my calves, his arms curled around my legs in front of him, his chest lying on Derek's legs, Erica had the back of her head using my hip as a pillow, hearing a soft laugh I turned my head and shoulders to look at the alpha behind me.
"I take it the mini wolf pile going on is a wolf thing?"
He nodded, yawning softly as he tightened his grip on my waist.
"Wolfs seek comfort from each other, it happened all the time with my family, we would all sleep in the living room at least once a weak. It helps with bounding."
I nodded, relaxing again.
"What is on the agenda today?"
"Training."
I nodded, and finally moved to get up, dubbing it time to get up for the teenagers.
"Come on puppies, time to get up."
They both groaned before getting up, finally letting me move and get up. After a few hours of getting ready for the day, and Boyd, who Derek had bit without telling me, showed up, Derek explained how he wanted each of us to attack him. Rolling my eyes I took a seat a few steps in front of Boyd, watching as Isaac kept getting thrown to the ground as he kept trying a front attack, getting an idea I slipped off my heels and snuck to the left side of the alpha, watching as he tossed Erica to the ground as she tried to attack from his right side. Keeping quiet I knew my best chance was to stay slightly behind him as he rolled his eyes and took a few steps forward.
"Does anyone want to try not being completely predictable?"
That was my queue, running up I smirked as he turned around, wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist I started roughly making out with him, as our teeth clashed I felt him reached to throw me off only for me to push my feet into his abs and pushed myself so I flipped over his shoulder, pushing my hands into the concrete I pushed my feet into Derek's back, forcing the Alpha to fall to the ground, spinning around I sat on his shoulder blades, my heels sitting on his shoulders as I lightly pushed my claws into his neck, not enough to draw blood, but enough to make a point. As I started to grin in victory Derek shifted and managed to flip us over so he was pinning me to the ground, completely wolfed out, red eyes barring into mine as he mouthed at my throat in warning. After a few minutes, he finally realized I wasn't going to get away and pulled away, giving me time to catch my breath as the other two betas watched in concern.
"Are we done? 'Cause I got about 100 bones that need a few hours to heal."
I looked over at Isaac as Derek looked sympathetic for a moment as he shifted back and knelt in front of him, reaching he gently took Isaac's arm.
"Yeah?"
"Uh-huh."
I flinch when Derek broke his arm causing Isaac to scream.
"101. You think I'm teaching you how to fight, huh? Look at me! I'm teaching you how to survive!"
I flinched and sat up, watching Derek as he stood up and started walking away, as he passed me he grabbed the back of my shirt to get me standing in the process.
"If they wanted us dead, why aren't they coming for us now? What are they waiting for?"
I sighed at Isaac, knowing he was only causing Derek to become more irritated.
"I don't know. But they're planning something, and you, especially, know that's not our only problem. Whatever that thing is that killed Isaac's father, I think it killed someone else last night. And until I find out what it is, you all need to learn everything that I know. As fast as I can teach you."
I sighed as he dragged me back into the train car, we waited till the teenagers left before I extracted some revenge, playing up to Derek I smiled as he looked down at me. He growled possessively as I rubbed up against him, feeling his excitement against my lower stomach, smirking I whimpered at him, closing my eyes as Derek's eyes flashed and he ground his hips against me, opening my eyes I looked up at him before ramming my knee up between his legs, causing the alpha to drop in pain.
"Before you ask, that was for having Erica destroy my brothers Jeep, and having her knock him unconscious and leave him for dead in a trashcan. I may be your beta, but I will protect my brother."
He growled and rammed his shoulder into my stomach, taking me out on in an instant, coughing I tried to catch my breath until the alpha sank his fangs into my neck, holding me still. Whimpering I tried to get him to let go as his jaw tightened, reaching up I paused, listening to my instincts I lowered my arms and pushed my body into the ground, finally he released his grip and started licking at the new wound, as he deemed the wound clean enough he pulled back as I relaxed, not daring to get up until he calmed down a little. As he leaned over me again I closed my eyes, expecting to feel his fangs again only to feel him lightly nipping at my lips.
"Now we're even."
I smiled and nodded, slowly sitting up, fear in my eyes until Derek sighed and hugged me.
"This is what happens when you knee a wolf in the balls. Don't do that again."
I started laughing.
"That's what you get for letting Erica almost kill my brother."
He paused.
"Speaking of, I'm going to intimidate him one more time."
"Why?"
Waiting where the pools were I glared at Derek as Erica dragged my brother over to us, Derek messing with a basketball as Stiles glared at me.
"Sorry little brother."
Derek nudged me as he focused on Stiles.
"What did you see at the mechanic's garage?"
"Uh…Several alarming EPA violations that I'm seriously considering reporting."
Derek smirked before digging his claws into the basketball, causing Stiles to panic a little until I shook my head, letting him know I would protect him.
"Let's try that again."
"All right, the thing was pretty slick looking. Skin was dark. Kind of patterned. I think I actually saw scales. Is that enough? Okay? 'Cause I have somebody I really need to talk to."
At Derek's look Stiles groaned, looking up I paused, shaking with fear at the scaled creature that looked down at us, it growled before jumping down, using it's tail to slam Erica into a wall, grabbing Stiles we jumped back as the lizard thing moved to attack Derek, seeing a cut along the back of his neck I panicked as my alpha fell face first into the water. Cursing I dove in after him, keeping him above the water as Stiles grabbed his phone and dove in after us as the lizard thing tried to attack him.
"Do you see it?"
"No."
"Maybe it took off."
I gave Stiles a look as a hiss could be heard.
"Probably not. Text Scott, now."
Stiles nodded and held his phone above the water while Derek complained.
"Will you get me out of here before I drown?"
Stiles looked at him as I sighed.
"You're worried about drowning? Did you notice the thing out there with multiple rows of razor-sharp teeth?"
"Did you notice that I'm paralyzed from the neck down in eight feet or water?"
Rolling my eyes I spotted the damn thing.
"What's it waiting for? We're sitting ducks in here."
I was answered as it touched the water and hissed.
"It can't swim, that's lucky."
As we waited for reinforcements to show up Stiles looked at us.
"Did you get revenge?"
"I did."
Derek growled and I laughed, Stiles seemed happy until I almost dropped Derek.
"I need something to hang onto, Derek you're getting heavy."
Stiles nodded and helped me pull Derek over to one of the diving boards where we were pulled out of the water by Scott, who crouched and prepared to fight the lizard thing, shaking my head I watched as the lizard threw Scott into the wall, shattering a mirror in the process. It looked confused for a moment before taking off. With the danger gone I laid back and tried to catch my breath. Feeling a towel land on my face I sighed and grabbed it as I sat up and started drying myself off. Letting Derek help me up we walked outside to see Scott and Stiles trying to figure out what the lizard thing was off Scott's computer.
"It's called a Kanima."
I looked at Derek as he walked over to them, rolling my eyes I opened the passenger door of Derek's car pushed the seat forward and climbed into the back, happily finding a blanket I had hidden in the floorboard as I curled into a ball, feeling completely exhausted I closed my eyes, blocking the world out until Derek and Erica stepped into the car and the car started to move.
"Why are you so ready to kill the Kanima? Besides the fact that it's a threat to the pack?"
I felt my ears perk up a little at Erica's question, the two of us waiting for his answer as he sighed.
"It threatened my mate, your alpha female, I'm going to kill it for that."
I smirked, reminding myself to ask Stiles to do some research later, if he was still talking to me.
"And when are you gonna tell her?"
Derek answered with silence.
So what do we think?
Remember to review and I will update on Tuesday with the rest of my Teen Wolf fics!
