Work Text
“Hello–” She answered.“Stiles–”“Hey, wha–why are you calling so early?”She hears some shuffling in the background.“We’re in the hospital right now.” Cora answered bluntly.“What the hell happened?”“Your Dad’s been working on a case for the past few months Lydia and me have been helping but a few days ago Parrish told us that he hadn’t shown up to work and it was weird because your dad even said he was going to take a few days off which-”“He never does that means– Fuck. We’ll be there by tomorrow evening…. Tell Lydia it’s ok, I know she was just trying to do what was right. And I love you both.” Stiles hangs up and is about to get up and start packing until her husband stops her.“Calm down first before you go into Emissary mode. You are a daughter right now worried about her father.” He said.“I can’t have a breakdown right now, we have to figure out how the hell this happened, Derek!” She flailed her arms, she tried to push him away but couldn’t.Derek only used his Alpha voice when he needed to. “You need to calm down. We can’t do anything right now. Your dad is in the hospital and they’re doing the best that they can. I need you to calm down and then we can eliminate whoever did this.”“Ok,” She exhaled. He was right, then again, he was always right. “I can’t lose him, he’s the only living family I have left.” She feels the tears flowing down her face.“You’re not going to lose him, sweetheart. We’ll figure this out.” They stayed like that for about 20 minutes. “C’mon, it’s time to go back to Beacon Hills.”“I’ll text the pack to let them know.”About 20 minutes later they had their stuff and were ready to leave.“Ready?”“Yep, texted everyone. We have a meeting tomorrow with Alpha Ito at 5 PM at Peter’s place.”“Good.” Derek leaned in to kiss his wife.“Der,” Stiles said nervously. “Do you think we could-”Sensing his wife's nervousness he answered without even a second thought. “Go for it.”She kissed her husband on the cheek. “Eli, Laura, Claudia!” Her kids ran down the stairs.“Yes, momma?” The twins said.“Remember what I told you three about teleporting?” They nodded. “Ok, well Grandpa Noah got hurt. We need to go and help him and figure out who did this to him. But I can’t wait till tomorrow so is it fine if we teleport?” Before the girls could even respond their big brother beat them to it.“Mom this is Grandpa we’re talking about. Of course, it’s fine. No one messes with our family.” He said firmly.“Ok, hold on to each other.” Within a second, they were in the pack house.“Jesus fucken Christ Stiles!” Isaac yelled. “A warning would’ve been nice!”“Sorry Isaac I didn’t think anyone would be here.” She said shyly. “Also, you didn’t respond to the group chat. Not my fault.”“We stopped by for a visit when Lydia and Cora got the call.” He walks over to her. “I’m so sorry Stiles.”She melts into their hug. Isaac has always been one of the few people other than her husband who has been there for Stiles when everything went down with Scott.“What are we chopped liver?” Laura says.“Laura Stilinski-Hale!” Stiles exclaims.“It’s fine Stiles,” Isaac laughed. “Hi, sweetheart.”Laura blushed. “Hi, Uncle Isaac.”“How are my beautiful goddaughters?” Isaac asks.“Worried about Grandpa Noah,” Claudia answers softly.“I know sweetie,” He knees down to comfort them. “Your mom is going to do everything in her power to heal your grandpa and find who did this.”“We know,” They said in unison. “Can we go play with Erica now? Laura asked.“Erica’s sleeping baby. Which is what you should be doing. Take your bags and go up to your rooms, please. You can play with your cousin when she wakes up.” ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ Erica walked right in without saying a word to anyone and went straight to her Alpha’s room. “Out big guy.”Derek didn’t even argue just got up from his bed walked over to Erica and scented her.“Thank you.”“Always Alpha.” She walked over to lie on Derek’s side. “Come here Momma Bear.”Stiles moved closer to her. “Missed you,” She said as she scented her friend. “Thank you for coming.”“Like I told Derek, Always,” Erica responded.“How was the drive?”“Not bad since the 3 of us took turns driving.”“You let Leila DRIVE????”“Stiles we’ve been teaching her since she was 12!”“I know but-”“We took her to get her permit a week after her birthday. Have some faith in your goddaughter!” Erica exclaimed.“Fine, fine.”“How are you?” Erica said softly.“I’m fucking scared Erica. What am I going to do without my dad... I already lost my mom I can’t lose him either.”“I know Stiles, you’re going to save him.”“What if I can’t??”“I know you’re going to try every fucken way to save him until you run out of options. Whether he dies from his wounds or the bite, know that you did try in the end. This isn’t your fault sweetie. This is life.”Stiles knows her friend is right. She’s not going to give up until she’s exhausted every option. Leila came in 2 hours later to tell them that breakfast would be ready soon.“Mami, Derek says it’s time to eat. Everyone’s here.”“We’ll be out in a minute baby,” Erica says.Leila walks downstairs not bothering to tell them because almost everyone here is a werewolf. “What’re we having because I am STARVING.”“Just some French toast with a lot of bacon and sausage,” Derek says.“Thank you,” Leila says.“You’re welcome, sweetie. Can you help me set up the plates please?”“Already on it Dad,” Eli says.“Thanks, buddy,” Derek says.They finish making everyone’s plate just as Jackson and Ethan walk through the door.“Where is she?” Jackson asks.“She is here Lizard Boy,” Stiles answers as she walks down from her room with Erica.“Barbie,” He says to Erica. “Momma Stiles,” He says smiling then goes in for a hug.“How are you holding up?” He caresses her hair, holding her tight.“Could be better.” She answers honestly.“C’mon knowing you, and I do, you haven't eaten since you got the news. Let’s see what our Alpha has cooked up for us.”Said Alpha was already walking towards them. “Jackson.” He says smiling.“Derek,” He says, going in for a hug.“Came to get my wife.” He says.“All yours Alpha.”✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ “How’s he doing?” Cora asks Melissa.“We managed to get the bullet out and patched him up. He’s stable.” Melissa says. “You two can go see him once he’s moved to his room.”Cora doesn’t reply, just goes back to her wife. “He’s doing good, baby. We can go see him when he’s moved.”Lydia’s exhausted from all the crying she did the whole morning. “I have to tell Stiles.”“Just text her, she’s probably sleeping still.”
Badass Banshee
Melissa just came to update us. Your Dad’s doing amazing. We can go see him when he’s settled.
Want us to wait for you?
Momma Bear Stiles
You guys go ahead, we’re still eating. Keep him company for me, please.
Tell Grumpywolf that we’ll bring you both some breakfast.
Where are your kids btw?
Badass Banshee
My lovely wife wanted them protected so she sent them with Peter.
Momma Bear Stiles
Ah and what better protection than an ex-murderous Alpha.
Badass Banshee
You’d be surprised how protective he is of them since he can’t be like that with his grandkids.
Momma Bear Stiles
I thought Malia was letting them spend time together now?
Badass Banshee
You know she’s not the problem.
Momma Bear Stiles
True Asshole is the problem, gotcha.
We’ll all be there in about 30 minutes.
“Everyone’s going to be here in 30 minutes. Stiles said we can go in to keep her Dad company,”“Okay, come on then.” ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ “Scott, I told you that you can’t be here!” Melissa yells at her son.“We came to check on how the Sheriff is doing.” He growls back at her.“He’s fine now, leave.” She says.He narrows his eyes, “Why don’t you want me here Mom? What’s going on?”Just as she’s about to give him her answer they all walk in.“Mommy, Mommy!” Natalie yells. “Look Uncle Derek’s here!!”Scott almost snaps his neck with how fast he turns around to see if the little girl said is true.The entire Hale pack walks into the hospital children included.“What’s she doing here?!” Scott growls.“She came to see her father, Scott.” Melissa says.“I didn’t know I needed your permission oh True Alpha,” Stiles says as she gets closer to them. “Melissa,”“Stiles sweetheart, it’s good to see you. Although I wish it was under better circumstances.” She embraced her.“Me too,” Stiles says softly. “Is he still doing good?”“Yeah, come on, I'll take you to see him.”“Hold on,” Scott says grabbing Stiles’ arm “She can’t be on my territory without my permission.”Jackson snarls. “Get your fucken hands off her McCall.”“Why are you defending her?! You never even liked her!” Scott yells.Isaac chimes in. “We wouldn’t want Melissa to have to deal with another family member in the hospital.”“I’d listen to my husband if I were you, Scott.” Allison answered.He let go of Stiles’ arm and turned to look where that voice came from.
Allison
Scott then turned back to glare at Stiles. “What the hell did you do!?!”“I didn’t do anything. Allie’s been alive this whole time. I tried to tell you but you were grieving then when you got better you just ignored me, you didn’t even listen to me when I told you about-”“BECAUSE I WATCHED THE LOVE OF MY LIFE DIE IN MY ARMS.” He growled.“After the Nogitsune you could barely even look at me! The rest of the pack actively ignored me. I had no one on my side.” She didn’t want to bring this up, but she knew she needed to get it out. “Then when he came around it was like I didn’t even exist to you anymore.”“Not this shit again, Stiles Theo did not hurt you. He told me himself that it was all consensual. He didn’t lie once, and I believe him.”“Yeah well, you know who didn’t believe you, your Beta. He knew what was going on and he tried to help me. But how could he go against his Alpha and a Freak who only wanted to steal your power.”“You’re just saying that because after he broke up with you he didn’t want you anymore.”Stiles laughed. “When he got tired of me. Derek had just come back into town. He came to me thinking we’d be attached to the hip like we normally would but to his surprise, he found me in my bedroom with my wrists bleeding.”The pack gasped.Scott was going towards her until Eli stepped in front of her. “If you put your hands on my mom again,” Eli growled. “I’ll make sure you don’t come out of this hospital alive. Do you understand me?”“Mini D calm down honey,” Erica says, pulling her godson back.“Eli, c’mon this asshole’s not worth it,” Leila says, helping her mom pull him back.“Leila!” Erica chastises her daughter.“I’m not wrong mami, y lo sabes.” She tells her mom.“She’s right you know,” Boyd says.“So yeah, Allison’s alive and has been for the past 18 years. She’s married and has two adorable kids.”“Married to who?”“Me dumbass,” Isaac says.“What the fuck is going on here?” Malia yells. Then she, freezes when she catches a familiar scent. “Stiles.” She walks towards her when she’s stopped by her husband.“Malia get back in the car,” He growls.Peter growls back. “Don’t speak to my daughter like that,”Scott just scoffs. “You need to leave. All of you. You’re not welcome in my territory.”Cora laughs. “Your territory? Since when?”“Since HE,” He says pointing at Derek, “abandoned it when he fucked off and never came back. I’ve been protecting it with my pack ever since.” He says puffing out his chest.“Your pack?” Jackson laughs.“Okay, I think we all just need to calm down,” Melissa says.Scott ignored his mom. “Malia, boys let's go.”“I’m staying,” Malia answers.“Jr. come with me then,” Scott says.The shorter boy follows his alpha out the door after he says goodbye to his mom. “I’ll see you later Mom.” He then surprisingly walks over to his grandpa.“Hi, Grandpa Peter.”“Jr.” He says with a small smile.Once they leave everyone visibly calms down.“Stiles,” Malia says. “Can we talk?”“No,” Stiles says coldly. “I have nothing to say to you.” She hears a growl coming from who she can only assume is Peter. She couldn't care less; he doesn’t know what part Malia played in hurting her all those years ago.“Okay,” Malia answers softly. “C’mon baby, let's go catch up to your brother and dad.”“Grandpa Peter,” The tall boy says. “Alpha Hale.”Derek is surprised that he was spoken to, he’s never even met his cousin’s kids. ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ Everyone had taken their turns visiting her dad. But since he wasn’t awake, yet they decided to go back home since they needed to get ready for their meeting. Stiles, Derek, Peter, and Isaac went to the Diner for their meeting. They got there with 15 minutes to spare, and Peter made them some food to pass the time. Once they were done the Ito pack arrived.“Alpha Satomi Ito,” Stiles says.“Stiles darling, no need for formalities.” Alpha Ito says.“Yeah Stilinski,” Brett says, winking at her.Derek was glaring at Brett.“Calm down big guy,” Stiles says.“Now, I’m assuming you’re here to ask for your territory back?”“Yes,”“Okay.”Scylla pulls out some papers and puts them in front of them. “Just sign here and they’ll be officially yours again.”“Just like that?” Isaac asks.“Alpha Ito has been wanting to give them back to you for a while. Ever since Cora and Peter came back, she thought that it would be the time but whenever we ran into them, they said that neither of you was interested in coming back.” Brett answers.“Nice Brett. That was a very Alpha answer.” Stiles says.The beta preened at her praise. “Well, I’m going to be one, so I have to step up.”“Really?” Derek says looking over at Satomi.“It’s time. I’ve been Alpha far too long. Brett has been such a good student. He’s going to be a great Alpha.”“He is,” Scylla says.“I think this calls for a celebration,” Stiles says. “Peter, how about some of your famous milkshakes?”“On it!” ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ Once they were back at the pack house it was time for them to figure out what the fuck happened and why her dad was shot. But of course, Peter needed to start some drama.“Before we start, I’d like to ask Stiles what she has against my daughter. Does it have to do with what happened with Theo?”Jackson, Isaac, and Erica stood protectively in front of their Alpha’s Mate.“That’s none of your fucking business, Peter.” Erica snarled.“Ah, so it is because of that.” He said.“Peter.” Derek growled.“Nephew.” Peter deadpanned. “Come on Stiles, it couldn't have been that bad.”“Boyd, can you and the kids stay in the basement?” Stiles said calmly.Boyd accepts her command and locks himself and the kids in the basement.With a flick of her hand, he was pushed against the wall. “‘Couldn’t have been that bad’ Didn’t you listen to the part where I tried to fucken kill myself because of that asshole? Because my supposed Alpha believed him over the person who helped him control his wolf. Who constantly put herself on the line EVERY FUCKING TIME. With no care in the world because he was like a brother to me! Apart from my Dad, Scott, and Melissa were the people that I considered family. You of all people should know how important that is to a person who’s had a loss in their life.”Peter flinched.“Scott stopped talking to me after he thought I killed Allison which led to him kicking me out of the pack. He pulled rank and told everyone to not contact me whatsoever. Luckily for me though I had already told Isaac about Allison, so I had him by my side. He wasn’t happy here anymore and decided to meet them in San Francisco. Then Theo showed up at school. I don’t know how he did it, but he convinced Scott that he could trust me again, it was all a part of his plan.” She cleared her throat. “When the whole thing with Donavan happened, he told me he wouldn’t tell Scott, he played into my fractured relationship with my best friend. I wanted him in my life so badly that I agreed to go on a few dates with him. I thought, ‘What's the harm right?’” She laughed.Everyone in the room flinched.“Things were getting... He kept doing things that I didn’t want him to.” Tears ran down her face. “God, then one day Isaac called and told me he had something important to tell me.” She looked at the Beta in front of her, then at Erica, and smiled sadly.“He told me that Chris had saved Erica and Boyd. That they were alive and wanted to come back home. And once they did that, they’d try to find Derek. But unbeknownst to them my loving husband already knew they were alive.” She feels him squeeze her hand. “So yeah, Derek came looking for me so I could help him find his Puppies. But he found me almost dying.” She exhales. “That’s how that nightmare ended. Because of these three, they saved my life.”“Always, Batwoman,” Erica said.“You’re never gonna get rid of us Stiles,” Isaac said after her.“Now back to why I feel the way I feel towards your daughter. Aside from Liam, I went to Malia. Because we were together at some point, I thought she’d believe me but to my surprise, she was banging Theo. Not that I gave a fuck, but I was sure she’d smell that I was off, I was barely getting fucken by. But she didn’t believe me. Scott and Theo had been filling her head with lies about me and I just couldn’t get through to her.”“Stiles, you don’t have to keep going sweetie,” Erica said from the left of her. “He doesn’t fucken deserve it.”She shakes her head, lets Peter fall to the ground, and he groans from being held up for a long time. “When the McCall pack, by that point, was just Scott, Malia, Theo, and Liam. They found out about my almost dying by Melissa because Derek had insisted on getting me checked out.”“I can tell it from here if you want?” Derek said.She was exhausted now from all the crying. Especially the teleporting was catching up to her too. “If it’s okay with you all, I’m gonna go get my girls and sleep.” She walked down to the basement to get her girls. Once she was back in the living room, she felt someone enter her wards. She decided not to say anything because it was time that everyone knew the truth. Derek walked over to his wife and girls and scented them. He then continued where he had left off.“When Melissa got her checked in she asked me what had happened. I told her how I found her and what I smelled. She insisted that what I said wasn't possible because from what she knew Stiles was in a happy relationship with a wonderful young man.”“Which we all know now is a fucken lie.” Erica snapped. “Anyone within a few fucken feet could smell what was going on with her.”“After that, I asked Melissa how things were here, and she said they were pretty good for the most part and that the pack had everything under control.” He sighed. “Stiles was there for a week mostly sleeping and healing. After the second day, I heard her phone ring. I answered it and to my surprise it was Erica.”
Flashback
“Stiles?” Erica said anxiously. “Isaac says you haven't answered any of his texts, is everything ok?”
Derek stays silent on the other end. He couldn’t believe that she’s alive.
“Are you okay? Do you need us to go back home? Please talk to me…”
“Erica,” Derek whispers.
“Derek,” Erica gasps. “Oh my god, it’s Derek!!”
“Derek?” A female voice says. “Are you sure?”
“Like I’d forget my Alpha’s voice Allie please,” Erica says.
“Allison?” He says hesitantly.
“Hi, Derek.” She says softly. “Is Stiles okay? We’ve been worried sick and haven't heard from her for the past few days. Normally she checks in with us.”
“Stiles is-”
“Derek, you can go see her now, she won’t be awake for a while though because of the sedatives we gave her for her to get some rest.”
“Awake? Derek, what the hell happened?” Erica asked.
“How long will it take you to get here?” He asked.
The voice that responded surprised him even more.
“I’ll be there with the kids in 2 hours.” Chris Argent answers.
End of Flashback
“They got there and stayed for a day but had to leave because Melissa called Scott to tell him why he hadn’t come to see his best friend in the hospital..”“Then what happened?” Leila asked, sitting a little too comfortably next to Eli.“Once they got there, Scott demanded answers,”“As if he gave a fuck,” Isaac said angrily.“Melissa wouldn’t let him in until he answered her questions about what’s been going on with Stiles, the two of them went into an empty room to talk. I waited to see if Theo and Malia would leave but they didn’t.”This part always made both Boyd and Derek angry.“That’s when I heard your daughter,” He says looking at his uncle. “She said ‘Good thing Scott kicked her out of the pack, with how weak she is, she would’ve put all of us in danger.”Every werewolf in the room growled. Most of them didn’t know what had happened between Malia and Stiles.“Malia would never say such a thing like that,” Peter growled.Erica had enough of his bullshit. “I may not be able to hold you up against a wall but me, Isaac, and Boyd could rip you to shreds,” Erica growls in her beta form. “You’ve known your daughter for the better part of maybe 3 years? That’s only because she’s finally let you be in her life. Stiles has shown people who’ve severely hurt her mercy. Like your daughter, who the fuck is she to call her weak? Stiles Stilinski-Hale is the strongest person I’ve ever known. None of us could go through what she went through and come out of it stronger. We don’t care if you believe us, we are all tired of acting like what that pack did to Stiles is forgivable when it’s not.”“What happened to Theo?” Leila and Eli asked in unison.“I killed him,” Isaac answered. “Chris helped me lure the fucker. I felt so guilty for not noticing what was happening with her. When I saw her in that bed with her hands banded up. I know we had promised not to do anything, but I couldn’t forgive myself. With him gone, I knew there would be one less person that could hurt her again.”For a while, no one said a thing, until Derek finally took pity on his cousin.“Malia, stop standing out the door already and come in.”“What the hell are you doing here?” Eli snarled.“What he said,” Leila says behind Eli.“Children,” Peter says from the corner.Derek needed to be with his wife. “Isaac, you and Boyd are in charge. I’ll go tell him to bring the kids back”Once he did that both Betas just stood a little taller at their Alpha’s orders.“What do you want?” Isaac asked.“When I got home Jr. said that Scott had just left him there and hasn’t been back since. I came to check if he had come to argue with you guys again.”“Well, he’s not here so you can leave now bye.” Leila answered.“Leila.” Her dad said.She just huffed and sat back down, she looked over at Eli and realized his eyes were glowing, and his hands clenched. His claws were digging into his palms. “Hey,” She whispered into his ear, “Let’s go for a walk, yeah?” They both left through the back door without a word. ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ “Hey big man, you need to cool it,” Leila says as they make their way toward the other side of the preserve.Eli snorts. “Big man? Really?”“Callate sonso,” She says laughing.“Lulu, you know I can’t understand you right?”“Well, if you'd bother to learn Spanish you’d understand. For example,” She exhales nervously. She turns around to look up at him. “Quisiera tener el valor de decirte cuanto me gustas.” She bites her lip nervously.Eli blushes, he might have lied when he told Leila that she didn’t understand her. With the help of his ever-loving mother, he started learning Spanish a few months back.
Flashback
“Baby, what’re you doing up so late? Don’t you have an important test tomorrow?”
“Yeah momma, I’m ready for it. Just looking at some classes that I can hopefully take after school.”
“You? More school?” She asks.
He laughs, “I know, shocking.”
“Why are you up so late little wolf?” She asks.
“Well, you know how you and Dad always say that we’re one big happy family despite not being related except for Aunt Cora and Peter.”
She narrows her eyes; she knows where this is going. She had just talked to Erica about it the other day. “Yeah?”
“It’s just that lately,” Eli starts fidgeting with his hands. “Fuck. That’s a lie, it's been happening for a while. I’ve had these feelings… And I don’t know what to do with them. I don’t want to do anything about it because it’s inappropriate…”
“Eli, my sweet boy.” She stops her son because seeing him think what he’s feeling is wrong hurts her. “You and Leila decided what you were to each other when you were little. The more you spent time together the more me and your dad realized that this was something special.” She smiles. “Also, you’re not so subtle, you look at her like she’s mother moon.”
Eli blushes. “I’m looking at some Spanish-speaking courses that I want to take.”
“Mm, We can talk to your dad about it tomorrow, yeah? Believe it or not, he’s better at this than I am.”
“Okay, thanks, mom.” He says kissing her cheek.
“Just so you know, the feeling is mutual.” She winks at him and goes back upstairs.
End of Flashback
“Eli?” Leila asks nervously.“Yeah?”“You okay? You dazed off a bit there…”“Sorry, I was just thinking about something my mom said.”“What did the ever so wise Emissary Stilinski say?”Eli looked down and smiled at her. “The feeling is mutual,” He said, winking at her.“C’mon, there’s this place I wanna show you.” He held out his hand and she happily reached for it.“You’re not leading me to my death, are you?” Leila laughs nervously.“I’d protect you with my life Leila,” Eli says in a serious tone, squeezing her hand at the same time.Leila blushes and looks away. “Where are we going then?”“We’re almost there.”Though they haven't been back here in a while Eli remembers when they used to come every other summer. Whenever he would get overwhelmed, his mom would bring him here so he could calm down or let it all out. She’d tell him how this was their spot, hers and dad's. How he showed her this spot because Grandma Talia used to bring him as well.“What was that?” Leila asks just as they walk towards a more secluded part of the preserve.“Mom’s wards. Only our family or people with good intentions can come through.” He leads her through them.“Nice, do you come here a lot?”“We used to,”“We?”“Me and my Mom, she’d bring me here when I’d get overwhelmed about stuff.”“What’s got you almost wolfed out then?”“Everything. I feel like we’re missing something, we know now why Grandpa Noah was shot. I overheard Jackson and Aunt Lydia talking about how they think that McCall was the one to shoot him.”“Eli, my Mom, told me stories about them when they were in high school. He had this whole not-killing rule. I doubt that asshole has the balls to shoot the only father figure he’s ever had.”Eli vehemently shakes his head. “No Lulu, I don’t know what it is about, but I know he did it.” He rubs his chest trying to calm his heart down. “I think it has to do with my Mom… Because if it wasn’t they would’ve told her, right?”Leila picked up on the way his heartbeat ticked a little faster. “Eli?” She questioned. “Are you okay?”“I think I’m” He tried to take a deep breath. “having an anxiety attack.” He sat down on one of the rocks.“What can I do?” She kneeled in front of him.“Breathe, I need to breathe.”“Okay, okay.” She got hold of his face. “Look at me.”With Leila holding his face it isn’t that hard he can see the way her hazel eyes sparkle in the sunset.“Come on Eli, breathe with me. Deep breath in, deep breath out.”He did what he was told and followed her breathing. While keeping eye contact with her.“There we go,” Leila says, smiling up at him. “Better?”“Shit, yeah” He takes notice of how close they are and gets up. “Thanks,”She gets up and wipes the dirt off her jeans, walks over to him and hugs him from behind. “What brought it on? Your mom?” She feels him nod.He doesn’t expect her to hug him but enjoys the comfort it brings him. Eli takes hold of her hand to loosen her grip on him so he can turn around.She was about to take a step back when he pulled her back in and took a deep breath, she did the same.“One time, someone got past my Mom’s wards. They wanted revenge for something that she did.” He takes a deep breath. “I caught her scent change, so I did what my dad told me to do, get my sisters somewhere safe, and protect my mom. I locked Claudia and Laura in Mom's room; I pulled out the mountain ash she made me carry constantly and put a line of it in front of the door. I ran downstairs and I saw Mom struggling to keep up with the woman that was attacking her. I wolfed out and went towards her, but the bitch threw me across the room and knocked me out.” He exhales. “Before I was out of it though I heard my dad come in.”Leila hesitated but she knew that they both needed this. She pulls her head away from his chest, buries it into his neck, and inhales. “What happened when you woke up?”Eli freezes, he’s never let anyone else besides his dad or mom scent him. “Leila-”“Just, let me do this, my wolf is going crazy and wants to comfort the fuck out of you.”He laughs, “Only you would describe it like that. Anyway, when I finally woke up, Dad had already killed her. Mom told me she was proud of me, I told her she shouldn’t be, how am I going to be an Alpha if I can’t even protect her.”He felt her frown on his neck and her scent soured.She pulled her head back and looked him dead in the eye. “You did what you could, you protected your sisters. What if you hadn’t locked them in the room? Your mom would’ve had to worry about them while fighting the bitch.” She looked up at him. “Eli, you have to stop putting so much pressure on yourself. You’re going to be a great Alpha one day.” She smiled softly at him. “You’re gonna keep looking into this, aren't you? If we get caught, I’m throwing you under the bus.”“Yes,” He scoffs. “And you’re older than me, you’re the one that’s gonna be the bad influence.”“Oh, ha ha.” She flips him off.“Leila, wait...”“Yeah?”He starts fidgeting with his fingers. “You feel it too, right?”A smile comes across her face at the way he’s so flustered suddenly. “Is that what you meant when you said feelings were mutual?”“Mhm,” He mumbles.She feels her cheeks get hot. She didn’t expect him to admit it so quickly. “C’mon big guy,” She holds out her hand for him to grab. “Let’s get back to the house.” ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ “Okay, so what’s been going on since we’ve been away?” Erica asks.“Well, some supernatural creatures have just passed with no problem and some witches have come by to take over but Alpha Ito, her pack, and I handled them. There have been some killings over the past few years… I didn’t think much of it until earlier at the Diner, but someone’s been killing Alphas.” Chris said. “Just clawing at their throats, almost as if they only wanted their-”“Alpha Spark,” Lydia says.The adults froze.“What the hell is an ‘Alpha Spark’” The tall boy asks.“Essentially it’s what makes a wolf an Alpha, normally born wolves, they have it passed down from their Alpha. Or if they kill an Alpha. The third option which rarely happens is the True Alpha which until I recently believed was just that a wolf rose to the occasion by themselves.”“It all makes sense now, his anger, the way he can’t even control his shift. You all saw the way he was yelling at Melissa earlier.” Isaac said.“My dad doesn’t kill people!” Jr. yelled.“Baby, calm down.” Malia says.“How can an Alpha lose their Spark?” The tall boy asks.“Well,” Lydia waits for the boy to introduce himself.He flushes “Peter McCall-Tate ma’am.” He stands a little taller now puffing his chest out.“Really Uncle Peter?” Cora snorts.“I didn’t choose the child's name.” He answers.“Anyway, back to your question,” Lydia says, ignoring her wife and uncle's banter. “They can lose their spark when they burn it up by healing someone or when an actual Spark like Stiles doesn’t believe in them anymore.”“Is that how Alpha Hale got his Alpha status back? Because of his wife?”“Well turns out, according to Stiles, he still had a little bit of that Spark left in him all he needed was someone to believe in him.”“And that’s where we come in,” Allison says, “I wasn’t going to leave her there. So, we talked to the Sheriff and told him everything that happened with her permission of course. She left with us to San Francisco, and finished school with us.”“Man, it was great,” Boyd says.Erica agrees, “Fuck yeah, the parties, the places we traveled to. I’m happy we all got a second chance.” She says emotionally. “No one is going to take that from us.”Lydia frowns, she was always resentful that she wasn’t in the loop back then. She would’ve done anything to protect Stiles. ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ Derek had sent all the kids to clean up for dinner. With most of them already done, he called his son and goddaughter to help him set up again. He noticed that they seemed nervous. From what Stiles had told him they had walked out to the preserve. To their spot. She only knew because only their family knows where it is and only people with good intentions can pass through her wards.“You two, ok?” He asked.“Yeah!” Eli and Leila squealed.He was going to talk to his wife about this later. “Well we need to hurry up everyone’s here already.”Everyone sat in their assigned seats once they had the plates placed and served. Derek is at the head of the table Stiles to his right followed by Eli and his girls. To his left was Cora followed by Lydia and their kids. After his family was his betas, Erica’s family to the right of him and Isaac’s to the left followed by Jackson and Ethan. On the other side of the table was for their guests. Brett was at the head of that side, on his right were Liam and Kira with Scylla on his left. Malia and the boys were also sitting on that side. Stiles had extended the table to accommodate them.“I’d like to thank our guests for joining us for dinner and supporting us in this difficult time.” Derek nodded at Brett to take the lead.“Thank you, Alpha Hale, for the invitation. Know that the Ito Pack will be here whatever you need.Jackson snorted. “Are you two done? I’m hungry.”Ethan then elbowed him in the ribs.“Fuck what the hell.” Jackson glared at his husband.“You’re being disrespectful.”“I was just trying to lighten the mood geez.”They heard a giggle from the other end of the table, and it was Claudia.“What’s funny?” Said Lydia with a frown.Stiles laughed nervously “It’s just things have been so tense with my Dad and being back here.” She looked over at Jackson. “Thank you for that.”Jackson preened at her praise. “Always.”From Lydia’s left, she hears a low rumble. Now everyone from Derek’s side erupted in laughter.“What’s so funny now?” Liam asked.That earned him another laugh from Stiles and Erica this time. Now all three Betas frown, catching on to what is so funny to Stiles.“Daddy, why are you sad?” Little Erica asked.Allison burst out laughing. “Only you can make my husband look like a kicked puppy Stiles.”Malia growled from the end of the table.Everyone turned to see who Malia was growling at and they all saw that she was looking directly at Allison.Allison raised her eyebrow at the coyote. “Do we have a problem?”“Mom, what're you doing?” Pete says trying to stop his mom from lunging at the huntress.“Malia, you’re a guest in this house. You will not disrespect or attack anyone in my home. If you can’t control yourself, I’ll kindly ask you to leave.” Stiles says standing now.Malia looks over now at Stiles. She’s never seen this authoritative side of her. Frankly, it scares her.“I apologize on my mother's behalf to Emissary Stilinski, Alpha Hale,” Pete says.“Malia?” Stiles says again trying to get the Werecoyote’s attention.“I’m sorry. Allison, I don’t know what came over me.”“It’s fine. You see me as a threat. I would too if my husband suddenly says that he lost the love of his life all while being married and with kids.”Malia flinched.She was right, she was hurt by what Scott had said, not for her sake but for her sons. She knew how this would look to them, like their dad didn’t love their mother. That she wasn’t good enough for him like she was weak. “Excuse me I need to-” And out the door she ran.The boys got up to go after their mother but were stopped by Stiles.“Don’t worry, I’ll go check on her.”“Are you sure?” Isaac, Liam, and Jackson asked at the same time.She laughed again. “We’re talking about this when I get back. But I’m sure, this is long overdue.” As she got closer to the door, she heard the Werecoyote crying.“You boys didn’t have to follow me out.”“Damn, your senses must be really out of whack if you think I’m both of your sons Mal.”“I heard you tell my dad,”“I know, I felt you pass the wards and told Derek not to say anything.”“God Stiles, if I had known-”That’s when Stiles snapped. “That’s the problem, Malia! You could’ve known. I tried to tell you!! I thought, ‘If anyone would believe me it would be Mal. If anyone could protect me from these assholes it would be the girl that I trusted my life with.’ But boy was I fucken wrong.” She snarled. “I don’t think you were that cockdrunk to not see right through that fucker. Because believe it or not he's not that good. I would know.”Malia flinched.Stiles laughed. “When I got out of the hospital, I begged Derek to tell me what you said because I just knew something had happened.” She exhaled. “But he wouldn’t budge. In the end, Boyd was the one to tell me. Which I deeply appreciate to this day, because Gerard Argent tortured Boyd, Erica, and me. That’s Chris’ dad. He wanted information on Derek and the pack. I didn’t give him anything so you can imagine how bad I was. Yeah, I wasn’t close to Boyd or Erica, but they were Derek's Betas, they mattered to him, so they mattered to me. Believe it or not, I’m the reason you and Scott are even alive. Those two were ready to rip you to shreds. I was so close to letting them go too… Ultimately though I decided that having you find out what I said was true was the better outcome.”If she was honest Stiles hated seeing this person that she once loved broken now. But that’s how it was for her all those years ago.“Isaac killed him, you know. He felt SO guilty for not realizing I wasn’t okay that he wanted to kill everyone who hurt me. But he settled for Theo, from what he told me he and Chris made him suffer. And I’m glad he deserved that and so much more.”They just sat there in silence. Malia wasn’t sure how to respond. If she’s honest she wishes she could go back in time and let Boyd and Erica kill her. She’s disgusted with the fact that she let Theo and Scott manipulate her. That she let both have her.“I was ready to come out here and let you apologize. But I’ve realized that I don’t need that from you or Scott. I don’t need you in my life. If Peter and Kira choose to have you in their life, I have no say in that just as long as they keep the pack and you separate, I won't have you hurting anyone in this pack do you understand me?”Malia just nods.“You can come back inside if you want. If not, I think it would be best if you left. If your boys want to stay, Derek can give them a ride back home.”“I’m gonna keep looking for Scott.” Malia answers.“C’mon then.”They both walk back inside, and all eyes are on them.“Peter, Jr., If you want to stay, you can.”“No, I want to help you look for dad,” Jr. said.“I’ll stay if that’s okay with you, Emissary Stilinski,” Pete says.“Of course, it is,” Stiles answers.✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ Melissa was checking in on Noah when she heard him speak.“Sti-”“Noah? You’re in the hospital.”“Stiles,” Noah says softly. “Don’t tell Stiles to come, they’re in danger.”“Oh Noah, they’re already here.”He’s asleep before she even finishes telling him. ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
Melissa
Hi sweetheart, I was wondering if you could stop by the hospital. There’s something I need to talk to you about.
Stiles
We’re already on our way.
She was about to ask Melissa when she was already walking towards them. “Stiles, Derek.”“Melissa, what’s wrong?”“Let’s go into your dads' room, I need to check in on him.”They walk over to the Sheriff's room in silence. Stiles can’t seem to stay still; she keeps on picking at her nails.Once they were in the room, Melissa locked the door.“Your dad woke up earlier and said to tell you to not come home. That you’d be in danger if you did…” She sighs. “I think he knows who did this, and that whoever is behind this wanted you to come home.”Stiles is silent, processing information. Her mind slowly connecting the dots, the whispers between Lydia and Jackson make sense now. She knew they were hiding something but didn’t know what.She exhales. Deciding on dealing with the Banshee and Lizard boy later. “Well, there’s nothing we can do about it now, we’re already here.”Derek looks over at his wife. She looks better than she did during dinner last night. He had thanked Scylla immensely for checking on her and making sure she was doing okay. ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ Allison hears her daughter yelling for her from the kitchen.“Mommy! Mommy!” Little Erica yells.“Yeah, baby?” She calls out.“The sad puppies are back!” She giggles.Allison now looks up and sees that her daughter’s right the ‘sad puppies’ are back. “Erica baby it’s not nice to call people names.”“Yeah, little Argent.”She glares at Jackson. “She’s not wrong. You three were acting like sad little puppies competing for Stiles affection.”Both Betas scoff.“You know Stiles said we’d talk about it later but because of her argument with Malia she wasn’t in the mood anymore.” She’s going to bring this up when Stiles and Derek get back from the hospital. “Where’s Kira? I thought she was patrolling with you guys?”“We don’t know, she got a text message and said she had to leave.”“Hm, odd. Do you guys want some fruit? I was just cutting some up for the kids.”To her surprise, they accepted the fruit. They sat down on the couch by the kids.“Laura, Claudia can you two go upstairs and tell the big kids to come down. Please.”“Okay, Auntie Allison.”“Why’d you send Stiles’ kids instead of yours?” Jackson asked.“My baby is the light of my life, but she is the most aggressive little wolf. Miguel hates when she’s sent to wake him up because she doesn’t do it nicely.”The two girls raced upstairs.“You left, me right.”“Why you wake Lulu up.”“Because I here fist,” Claudia stuck her tongue out at her sister.Laura goes to wake up Miguel, Eli, and Talia.Claudia practically runs into Leilas’ room and is surprised to see her brother there.“Eli?”“Shit shit shit shit.”Leila gets up as if it’s no big deal.“Morning, Claudie.” She walks over to the little girl and kisses her on the head.“Goo mornin Lulu. What Eli doing here?” Claudia asked.“He had a nightmare and came to sleep with me because he wanted me to protect him.”She picks up the little girl and starts tickling her.“Thank you for coming to wake me up, we’ll be down in a few.”Once she leaves Leila throws a pillow at Eli. “Get up asshole.”“You didn’t have to tell her that you know.”“It was a joke Eli, better than the alternative.”He covers himself back with her blanket. “Ugh, you’re right.”“How are you feeling though?”“I’m better. Thank you..”“Anytime,” She smiles at him.They head downstairs luckily for them they’re the last ones to get downstairs.“Buenos Días mi reina,” Erica says.“Morning mami, y pa?”“He’s out patrolling with Derek. C’mon we need to eat before we get everything for when Noah gets here.” ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ “Oh, come on Mel, can’t I go home already?” He says exasperated. He had been here far too long for his liking.She rolls her eyes at him. “Noah, I need to make sure you’re stitches are doing good. And you know you’re not going home, right? You’re going to the pack house.”“Why?”“So that we can help you out, Dad. Before you even object, Melissa and Chris will be staying with us too. You need to tell us what you know so that we can plan to figure out how to stop this person.”“Kiddo, I told you that you don’t need to. We can handle it; you should just go back home.”“You do know that my husband is a werewolf right? He can tell that you’re lying through your teeth.”“Son of a bitch,”“Sorry sir.”“No, no. Don’t apologize. Even if you didn’t tell me he has his tells. I would’ve known he was lying anyway.”Both men are quiet now, they know better than to argue with her.“Okay, well you’re good to go.” Melissa says.“Alright Daddio. Where do you want to go to eat?”“How about Peter's place?”

Catwoman

Momma Stiles

Thanks, Catwoman<3
Instead of telling everybody, Allison creates a group chat for the moms.
Pack Mamis
Allison
Okay so what I wanted to ask you about is if you know what’s going on with Eli and Leila?
Lydia
What happened to them? And why isn’t my wife in this?
Erica
Are you talking about how awkward they’ve been acting?
Stiles
Cora is probably not in this because she would just ignore it.
Allison
Yes exactly Stiles.
And Erica, yes to that BUT NO
Erica
OMG WHAT DID WE MISS?
Allison
I sent Claudia and Laura to wake the teenagers up, right? So when she comes back down she tells me casually that Eli was in Leila’s bed. Then Laura comes down with a pout because she says she can’t find Eli.
Erica
SHUT UP SHUT UP OH MY GOD STILES IT’S HAPPENING!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!
Stiles
FINALLY.
Lydia
The way that you two are invested in your own kids getting together is disturbing.. – Cora
Erica
Oh, come on Care-bear you’ve seen how cute they are with each other.
Lydia
I apologize for my wife.
Did you question them?
Allison
God no. They already looked embarrassed enough.
Stiles
BOOOO
Erica
YOU WHORE
Jk.. but really you should’ve put them on the spot.
Allison
Anyway, yeah that happened. I think I’ll ask Leila about it. Knowing Eli, he’ll get all defensive and awkward..
Stiles
Ahh my baby, he doesn’t do well with communicating sometimes.. it’s a Hale thing.
Lydia
We’re both Hales’ Stiles.
Stiles
By marriage Lydia. We do not have communication issues now,
do we?
Lydia
You’re right.
Erica
So, what are we gonna do about our babies?
Stiles
Let’s just let this play out. Leila would be more upfront about her feelings. Eli would reciprocate if he felt like she felt the same.
Erica
You’re right, my baby is so sure of herself and her feelings. Stiles’ right, we need to just let it play out for now.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ To say that breakfast at Peters’ Diner was awkward was an understatement. Her Dad had asked her if something was wrong because she was looking towards the kitchen from time to time. She avoided the question successfully until Malia walked into the Diner.She walked over to them. “Sheriff Stilinski, I’m glad you’re doing better,” Malia says.Noah smiles at the Werecoyote. “Thank you, Malia.”“Stiles can we talk?”Stiles hesitated because she didn’t know what they could possibly have to talk about “Sure, outside?”“No, we can go to Dad's office. It’s more private…”Now she’s intrigued because this has to be important if she wants to be in a soundproof room.“Want me to go?” Derek asks.“No, stay here with Dad. I’ll be back in a few.”They walk to the back of the kitchen and make a left into Peter’s office. Once they were in there Malia started rambling.“God Stiles I’m sorry I’m so fucken sorry” She says way to fast even for Stiles “I’ll put them both down if you ask me to.. I can’t believe they fucking did this!”“Mal, calm down.” He helps her breathe. “Put who down?”“Scott and Deaton.”Stiles froze. She had a suspicion the Druid was involved but Scott?“Let’s go,”“But-”“No Mal, if you’re about to tell my that the man I considered a brother once shot the only fucken father figure he’s ever had! We have to tell everyone together. Come on let’s go to the house.” Malia’s about to agree when Stiles speaks again.“Where’s Jr.?”“With Dad, at the house. I’ll tell him to meet us there.”“Daddio you done already?” She asks her dad.“Yep, we gotta go now?” He asks“Yeah, Malia has something to tell all of us.” ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ “Remember when it was just us?” Lydia teased her wife.“You mean when you would text Derek repeatedly that you didn’t need a babysitter.” Cora snorts.“You were babysitting me! He told me to keep an eye on Scott and that’s what I was doing. He didn’t need to send you here.”“Derek was just worried about you Lydia. He just wanted you to be safe and with a werewolf at your side you would be.” She walks over to her wife and embraces her.Lydia pouts.“Plus look at us now, we wouldn’t have ended up together if he hadn’t sent me.”“That’s not true. The pack would’ve come back, and I definitely would’ve still had the hots for you.”“You’re right.”
Flashback
With Derek and the rest of the pack leaving Lydia decided to stay back and keep an eye on things there, plus she promised Stiles she’d look after her dad.
“Stiles, he’ll be fine. I’ll make sure he eats his vegetables.”
“Okay, thank you so much, Lydia.” Stiles hugs her.
Stiles then gets into the car while Derek stays behind.
“I know,” She says before she even lets him speak
He raises an eyebrow at her.
“You were going to ask me to keep an eye on Scott while you’re gone right?”
“Yes.” He grumbles.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
“You can stop following me.”
Silence
“Cora Hale! Get out here right now!”
“Fuck! I have werewolf hearing remember? There's no fucken reason for you to be yelling!”
Lydia just continues to walk away.
“Lydia come on, I’m here to help.”
“Are you coming back to school?”
“Yes,” Cora grumbles while rolling her eyes.
Lydia narrows her eyes at her. “Why?”
“I need to keep an eye on Scott, why else?”
“Fine, but we should go to the Sheriff to see if he can help with getting you in school as soon as possible.”
Cora groans. “Fine,”
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
Lydia had let Cora settle in for the next few days. She then texted her on Thursday that she’d be starting school tomorrow.
Lydia
You’re starting tomorrow. Get some sleep.
Cora
Ok.
Lydia rolls her eyes. ‘Just like her brother.’
The next day Lydia goes to pick Cora up at Derek’s Loft. Both her and the Sheriff offered their place to stay but she kindly objected mainly because the loft smelled like pack.
“Good morning! I come baring gifts!” Lydia says enthusiastically.
Cora walks out of her room already dreading the day ahead. “It’s literally 6:30 in the fucking morning Lydia why are you here so early?”
“‘Good morning to you too Lydia. Thank you for the coffee’”
Cora glared at the redhead.
Lydia just ignored her. “I’m here because I brought you clothes since Derek sent you here with nothing. Also, we need to be there early to get your schedule and everything. I made sure you’d get some classes with me and some with Scott. Hopefully, that’ll satisfy your need to keep an eye on him.”
“Let me just take a shower.” Cora walks past her and tilts her head to sniff the air. There was something off today about her scent, but she still smelled like asphalt after it rained.
Lydia had turned around and caught Cora she just narrowed her eyes. “Okay, I’ll lay out the clothes for you to pick.”
Cora comes back 20 minutes later dripping on the floor.
Lydia was sitting on the bed waiting for her when she sees Cora, naked. Her brain short circuits.
She gets up and turns around. “Cora!”
Cora smirks. She catches the way her scent changes. Now knowing what was off earlier. “Sorry, werewolves are very comfortable in being naked.”
Lydia still doesn’t turn around.
Cora then reaches over her to get the clothes. She puts them on and is surprised that Lydia even got her size right.
“Okay, you prude you can turn around now.” She says jokingly. But again catches the way Lydia’s scent sours.
She reaches for her to turn her around. “Hey, you know I’m kidding right?”
When she finally gets a good look at her she notices how her cheeks are rosey.
“Lydia hey I mean it I was kidding. I won’t do it again. Promise.”
Lydia avoided making eye contact with her. “Okay. C’mon, it’s already 7:10.”
Cora put her shoes on and grabbed the coffee that Lydia brought her. “Okay okay.”
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
They got to the school with time to spare but Lydia was not having it.
“Cora if you don’t want me to yell you will hurry your furry ass up!”
Cora rolled her eyes. “Yes, mom.”
Cora kept up a good pace but strayed a few steps behind her. She almost crashed into Lydia because she had stopped walking.
“Lyd,”
“What are you doing here?”
Cora came from behind Lydia and was faced with her “cousin”.
“And why do you smell like Stiles?” Malia asked.
“What the fuck do you care?” Cora snarled.
“Is she whoring herself out to you now? Or is it Derek? I kn-”
Before Malia could even finish that sentence Cora’s fist was already on her cheek.
“Watch your fucking mouth! If you EVER talk about Stiles like that again-”
“You’ll punch me again? It’s not like I’m lying. She’s just jealous that Theo doesn’t want her anymore.”
Cora was about to lunge at her again but Lydia stepped in front of her.
“Cora, don’t. We don’t want to attract any attention.”
“But she can’t just-”
Lydia grabs onto her shoulders and looks at her with pleading eyes.
“I know. I know Cora. Please.”
When she sees that the werewolf understands what she’s asking her. Lydia then turns around to face Malia.
“I’d say I’m sorry, but I’m not. Have a good day Malia.”
They walk past her with Cora growling at the Werecoyote.
“Please tell me I don’t have any classes with her.”
Lydia smirks at her. “Nope. I made sure you didn’t, I knew how you’d react if you did. Sadly, I do.”
Cora tenses up. “Change it.”
“Um, no?”
She then growled. “Why not?”
“Because we don’t need to be too far from them if we want to keep an eye out for Scott. It’d be better if we at least tolerate them.”
“But-”
They’ve finally reached the office.
“Hello Rita, I’m here to pick up Cora Hale's schedule and to show her around the school today.”
“Ah yes. Ms. Hale.”
Once they got everything Lydia walked Cora to her first period.
“So you have Scott and Theo for this period. Theo only for this one Scott for 3 then 6th period.”
Cora flashes her eyes at the redhead.
“I know, I really tried to get at least one class without the bastard, but it was impossible.”
Lydia then hands Cora a backpack.
“Welcome to high school.” She says smiling brightly at her.
Cora grumbles and walks into the classroom.
Since she’s still early she manages to get a seat in the back.
She starts going through the things in her backpack. She finds herself feeling proud that Lydia got her things that she actually liked. Mate. Mate. Mate. Her thoughts were then cut off by a growl.
She looked up to find the two wolves glaring at her.
She just smirks at them and waves.
They walk towards her Scott sitting at her right and Theo in front of her.
“What’re you doing here Cora?” Scott growls.
She ignored the True Asshole. “Hi, I’m Cora.” She says with an outstretched hand.
Theo shakes her hand. “Theo.”
She squeezes his hand hard enough to break his bones. “Nice to finally meet you Theo.”
She can smell the fear he instantly feels when he realizes who she is.
“Okay everyone settle down! Class has officially started.”
The wolves turn around and face the teacher.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
It wasn’t until 4th period that she finally saw Lydia.
Unluckily for her there were already people sitting around her, so she had to sit in the back.
She then feels her backpack vibrate. She takes out a bend we phone which no doubt The Sheriff got for her.
Lydia
What’s wrong Grumpywolf?
Cora
Nothing. Why?
Lydia
You seem upset…
Cora
I’m fine Lydia. Be a good student and focus.
Lydia blushes.
Lydia
Fine.
Cora
I’m starving. Is the food any good here?
Lydia
Sometimes. Don’t worry I brought us lunch.
When class was over they went to their next class together then went to lunch. Lydia walked over to where she normally sat which was with Scott.
Once the reached the table he got up and told Cora to leave. To which she did gladly, Lydia was leaving with her until she hears Scott.
“Lydia, wait not you.” He says quickly.
She turns around and raises her eyebrow at him. “If Cora isn’t welcome here then I’m going with her.” She proceeded to walk away.
They luckily find an empty table.
“You didn’t have to do that.” Cora says once they’re seated.
“Cora, I brought lunch for the both of us. I wasn’t going to let you eat alone.”
Lydia takes out two massive sandwhiches. One is filled with a lot of meat and the other one has half the size of the meat but with vegetables.
“Here, I made this one for you” She slides the meat one over to her. “And this one for me.” She says smiling.
This is the second time that Lydia’s ‘provided’ for her, and it makes her feel fuzzy. She can’t help but smile back at Lydia.
“Thank you, Lydia.”
Lydia’s eyes widen at seeing Cora smile. She can’t help but blush.
“Of course.”
The rest of the school day goes smoothly, Cora tells Lydia if she wants to go to the loft after school to do their homework.
Cora secretly just wants to spend even more time with Lydia and obviously wants to provide for her now.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
“What do you want to eat?”
“Well since I know you have no food in that fridge I assume we’re getting takeout?”
Cora just nods.
“Uh, burgers?”
“Gotcha,” She’s on her phone instantly looking for any places close by where she can order and have it delivered there.
20 minutes later their food arrives.
They both go to answer the door and Cora starts growling at the man. She didn’t need to use her nose to notice the way he was ogling Lydia right in front of her. She shoves the money into his hands and shuts the door on his face.
Cora is about to go sit on the couch with her food when Lydia stands in front of her with her arms crossed.
“What was that about?”
“Nothing.” She tries to move past her but is stopped by Lydia again.
“You smell angry and sad.”
Cora freezes. From what her mom had told them mates could gain certain abilities but it was rare.
“Smell angry and sad?”
“Yeah... what- what?”
“You’re not supposed to know what I smell like Lydia. Last time I checked you’re a banshee, not a wolf.”
Lydia tilts her head “Huh. That is odd.”
Cora then decides to change the subject. “How's the burger?”
Lydia then takes a bit from the burger. “It’s really good, where’d you get it from?”
Cora preens at her mates' compliment.
“This place where my mom used to take us.”
“Oh,” Lydia says exhaling. “I know Derek is allergic to emotions but if you want to talk to someone about it you can, with me.”
Cora looks at her and sees that she’s being sincere. “Thanks, maybe another day?”
Lydia just nods.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
Lydia leaves a little past 7. Cora insists on her staying over because she doesn’t want her to leave. She objects of course because she knows her mom will be mad if she’s nit home.
Cora
Are you home already?
Lydia
Almost,
Cora
Ok, let me know when you get there, please?
Lydia
Cora, I’m a big girl I can take care of myself.
Cora
I know. Sorry.
Cora waits anxiously for Lydia to let her know that she’s home. She starts getting worried because it’s been 30 minutes already and so far she’s gotten no response from her.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ Lydia was about to text Cora once she got inside but her phone started to ring, she answered it already knowing who it was.“She only growled at Malia and punched her.. broke Theo’s finger but overall good.”Derek exhaled from the other line. “Why did she punch Malia?”“She called,” Lydia stays quiet not wanting to repeat what Malia said.“What did she say, Lydia?” Derek asks.“She called Stiles a whore…” Lydia whispers. “Said she was whoring herself out to you or Cora because she smelled Stiles on Cora. She was going to go for a second punch but I was able to calm her down.”“That’s good,” Derek says angrily. “How’s everything there?” He asks.Before Lydia knows it she’s spent the next 30 minutes talking on the phone with Derek Hale.When she hangs up she texts Cora.
Lydia
I’m home. Sorry, I took so long, was talking to your brother.
Cora
Thank fuck. I was worried, I was about to go over to your place.
Lydia
I’m fine, really.
Cora
I know, I know.
Lydia
Well good night. I’ll see you tomorrow bright and early.
Cora
Night.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
Derek
You’re a born wolf, Cora Hale. You know how to
control yourself.
Cora
I know big brother. I just couldn’t stand the way that
bitch was so smug about it!
Derek
Yeah, Lydia told me.
Cora
She told you I punched her too?
Derek
Yes.
Cora
You’re gonna let her talk about your mate like that?
Derek
Of course not. We all know it’s not true though. Just
focus on school and your mate.
Cora
Shut up.
Derek
Do you really think I wouldn’t feel it?
Cora
Honestly, no.
Derek
We all did, Isaac, Erica, Boyd, and Stiles.
Cora
Mm.
Derek
Yeah. Go to sleep it’s late.
Cora
Yes, Alpha.
Cora smirks.
She changes into her pajamas and lays on her bed staring at the ceiling.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
For the next few months, two things happen. Cora and Lydia get closer which only makes Scott angry. Then Theo disappears and Malia and Scott get closer which makes Cora want to throw up.
“Ugh look at them.”
Lydia rolls her eyes. “Cora just ignore them.”
“How can I when they’re literally all over each other? And constantly reek of sex.”
Lydia scrunches her nose as if she knows what Cora is smelling.
“There isn’t a way for you to not smell them?”
“Not that I know of.”
“I’ll ask Deaton or Stiles.”
“Stiles, we don’t trust Deaton.”
“Ok, I’ll text him.”
Lydia
Question.
Stiles
Answer.
Lydia
Smart ass. Do you think it’s possible that I could have magic? Because I’m a Banshee?
Stiles
I’m not sure why?
Lydia
I’m trying to figure out a way to block a wolfs sense of smell…
I know I can do it but I need it to not wear off.
Stiles
Hmm, I’ll ask Chris about it right now.
Lydia
Ok, thank youuuuu.
“Stiles is going to ask Chris about it.”
“Ok hopefully because I can’t stand it Lyd. They’re fucking disgusting!”
“I know,”
Stiles
So Chris says that there’s a possibility that you could have
a magic, different from mine because you’re a Banshee.
Lydia
Okkkkk, could you send me some books?
Stiles
Anything for the light of my life.
Lydia
Don’t tell Derek that, he’s going to rip my throat out with his teeth.
Stiles
Shh, I’m more scared of what Cora would do to me if I’m honest. You
know she’s into you!
Lydia
Please, how do you even know that, have you told Derek how
you feel?
Stiles
Lydia, I practically ran away with the guy. He knows...
I told him already.
Lydia
WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?
Stiles
I just got caught up in everything, I’m sorry.
Lydia
It’s fine.
Stiles
Derek told me that he’s sure that she likes you back, pay more
attention to how she reacts when you do stuff for her.
Lydia then looks over at Cora who’s still glaring over at Scott and Malia.
She then watches as she sniffs the air and turns around to look at her.
“What?” Cora asks.
“What do I smell like to you?” Lydia blurts out. “Shit sorry. I didn’t-”
“You know when it rains? How the asphalt gets wet and to has a certain smell?”
Lydia’s cheeks feel warm. “Yeah?”
“That’s what you smell like.”
“Oh,” Lydia says softly.
Lydia decided that they needed to talk about this in a more private setting.
“Can we talk about this later? At the loft?”
“Ye-yeah.”
“Let’s get to English then we can get to the loft faster ok?” Cora started fidgeting with her hands. Do you wanna stay over?”
“Uh-”
“You don’t have to if you don’t want to.”
“I do, I guess I’m just nervous.”
Chapter 3 – what are you playing at?
On their way to the loft they stopped to see Noah, Lydia had promised Stiles that she’d keep an eye on her dad for her.
“We should stop by to get food for Noah.”
“Exactly what I was thinking.”
“What should we get??”
“Steak?”
Lydia rolls her eyes. “You know Stiles doesn’t want her dad to be eating a lot of greasy heavy foods.”
“What’s one steak every two weeks going to do?”
“Every two weeks?”
Cora looks away.
“Cora.” Lydia says sternly.
“IT’S MY BONDING TIME WITH HIM, OKAY?” Cora exclaims.
“Wait till Stiles finds out she’s going to be LIVID.”
Cora whines. “Don’t tell her!”
Lydia smirks.
Once they reach the Diner they place their order and wait for it to be ready.
Cora perks up and looks over at the door. It’s Scott and Malia. She tries to ignore them, but she can feel him staring at her. She fully turns around to glare and growl at him too.
Lydia is none the wiser of the stare-off between the two wolves. She gets their order and caresses Cora’s arm to get her attention so they can leave.
Lydia feels how tense she is. “Cora, what’s wrong?” She hears her growl get louder
She then looks away from Cora and sees Scott and Malia by the entrance.
“What’re you doing here?” He asks.
“Buying dinner,” Lydia says.
Scott ignores her. “What’re you playing at? Are you using Lydia to get to me?”
Cora snorts. “Let’s get two things straight McCall. 1. I could care less about you. 2. Whatever I have going on with Lydia is none of your fucking business.”
Lydia pulled Cora back and whispered into her ear. “Cora, sweetie, please,” she starts caressing her arm. “Let’s go.”
Cora relaxes under her touch. She’s ready to go until the werebitch speaks.
“So she’s not whoring around with you but with your brother?”
Cora then walks towards both of them, pushes Scott out of the Diner, and grabs Malia by the throat.
“I fucking told you if you ever talked about Stiles like that again.”
Lydia in the meantime texted for backup.
BH’ Finest
Lydia
SOS. Need help at the Diner.
Parrish
My ETAs 10 min.
Noah
What’s going on?
Lydia
True Idiot and Mal came and started to antagonize Cora. She had already warned Mal about talking about Stiles.
Before she could respond, she saw Parrish’s cruiser entering the parking lot.
He got out of the car and walked towards Malia and Cora.
“Cora, let her go.”
She growled at him. “I warned her not to talk bad about Stiles.”
“We know but this time she’ll listen.” He looks over to Malia. “I think we’ve learned our lesson right Mal?”
Malia shakes her head.
Scott finally gets up and lunges toward Cora but she beets him by throwing Malia at him.
Lydia then walks over to Cora and caresses her arm. “Hey, it’s okay.”
“It’s not okay,” Scott growls at her. “Just because she doesn’t have an Alpha doesn’t mean she can go feral on people.”
Cora was about to attack him when Lydia put herself in front of them.
“Let me take care of it hm?” Lydia says caressing her cheek. She then turns around to glare at Scott.
“Listen to me Scott McCall. We have practically been in each other's orbit our whole lives excluding Malia. You and Stiles have been like siblings.”
“Before she killed my girlfriend!”
“Ex-girlfriend Scott. Allison was dating Isaac. She’s gone, and she would be ashamed at how you’ve treated Stiles and how you’ve let her be treated. Cora had warned Malia not to talk about Stiles like that in front of her and she chose to ignore it.”
“How can you defend her after everything she’s done?” Scott snarls.
“How can you talk shit about a person who’s been there for you through everything!!” Lydia yells.
None of them had realized that the Sheriff had arrived until he spoke.
“Scott, you’ll do good by keeping your girlfriend and pack member in her place and keeping my daughter's name out of her mouth. Stiles is gone, she’s moving on. So she should be out of your minds too.”
Scott growls but ultimately agrees. “Yes, Sheriff. Malia come on.”
“You ok kiddo?” Noah says to Cora.
“Yeah, thank you. I’m sorry for causing such a scene.”
“It’s fine. Thank you for defending my daughter.”
“Of course. She is my Alpha’s Mate. Can’t disrespect her. Argue with her yes but disrespect her never.”
Noah just nods.
They all went back to the station to have their dinner. They caught up with their week and what their plans were for senior year and college.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
The next morning they find themselves cuddled up between the blankets.
“So are we finally going to talk about it?” Lydia whispers in Coras' ear.
“About what?” Cora groans out.
“Lydia + Cora = Mates.”
Cora stiffens.
Lydia giggles.
“How?”
“Stiles, she told me to just pay attention to how you act around me.”
“Mm,” She says. “You’re ok with it then?”
“Of course Cora.”
Cora then nuzzles her neck.
“Cora,” Lydia moans out.
“Yeah?” She says as she continues to suck on her neck.
Lydia’s about to respond but starts to whimper when Cora bites her.
Cora starts to lick from her shoulder up to her jaw. “Mate.”
Lydia blushes. “Please,”
“Please what Lydia?”
She started rubbing against Cora’s thigh.
“Touch me,” She says breathlessly.
“You’ve never been with a girl right?” Cora says as she starts caressing Lydias' body.
Lydia shakes her head.
“But you’ve touched yourself right?”
She shakes her head again.
Cora continues to caress her until she reaches Lydias' pajama shorts. She hears her breath hitch. “Is this ok?”
“Yeah, yes.”
Cora pulls away and goes to take Lydias’ shorts off. Once they’re off she starts to kiss her thighs. She stops just as she's about to reach her pussy.
“Fuck you smell so good.”
“Cora” Lydia whimpers.
“Yeah, baby?”
“Please touch me.”
She tentatively kisses her pussy, smirking when she hears her gasp. She then starts to lick her lips. Enjoying the way she tastes.
“Cora please,”
Cora then starts to suck slowly on her clit, loving the way Lydia writhes under her. She then slowly pushes a finger inside her.
“Oh fuck…” Lydia gasps. She loves the way Coras’ tongue feels on her.
“More?”
“Mhm,” She whimpers. “Please, please,”
She then puts another finger inside her, she feels her squeeze her fingers. “Fuck, Lydia. The way you’re squeezing my fingers.”
An idea pops into Cora’s head which she will probably discuss with Derek later.
“Faster,” Lydia moans out.
Cora continues to pump her fingers into her pussy and suck on her clit.
“Cor-” Lydia moans out.
“Be a good girl Lydia and come on my fingers.” She sucks on her clit a little harder and feels the way she tenses up her orgasm taking over.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Lydia moans breathlessly.
Cora then pulls back and enjoys her handiwork. She loves the way Lydia looks, sweaty and flushed.
Lydia then pulls her down towards her. “We’re doing that again when I’m less sensitive ok?”
“My pleasure.”
Lydia then grabs Coras’ hand and sucks on the fingers that were inside her.
Cora moans at the action. “Fuck Lydia.”
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
After they spent the weekend learning about each other's bodies, they reluctantly said their goodbyes and promised to see each other tomorrow. Cora decided to text her brother about her dilemma.
Cora
I have a question..
Derek
What is it?
Cora
Have you ever… let anyone fuck you?
Derek
Yes, he has. It was fucking AMAZING. – Stiles
Cora laughs. Of course, they’ve done it, it doesn’t surprise her.
Cora
With a dildo right?
Derek
Yeah – Stiles
Derek
Cora I love you and as open as we wolves are about our sexualities I don’t want to know about what you do…
Cora
Ugh you’re right sorry I’ll text Stiles.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
Cora
Ok, so what I was going to say is that when you were doing that to my brother, did you ever feel like you.. like you wanted to actually FEEL what it feels like inside of him?
StilesOf fucken course dude! I only went off by what he was saying and how he felt.CoraOk so.. ugh I know you’ve already talked to Lydia. We got together this weekend… my point is when I was um, fingering her it felt so fucken good. God Stiles, you have no idea how much I wanted to be a guy at that moment and fuck her and feel how she’d squeeze my dick instead.StilesTMI? I’m kidding lol. But wow Cora, no yeah that’s hardcore. Lucky forus and our respective partners I have been looking for a solution to our dilemma…CoraTELL ME NOWWWW.StilesThere’s this witch down in New Orleans, she’s special… her and her girlfriend wanted to try it out too so they’ve been practicing on spells and stuff. It works for a while but it’s not permenant.CoraOkkk… Thank you.StilesOf course Grumpywolf. Did Lydia ever figure out how to block Scalia’s odor?CoraStiles, it’s been a couple of days. But knowing Lydia she probably has it figured out.StilesGotcha. I’ll keep you updated and let me know how it goes with Lydia.CoraOk, tell everyone I said hi.StilesThat reminds me, Erica wants me to give her your number but I know how you are with talking to people sooo I decided to just ask first.CoraUgh, I don’t want to be a bitch so give it to her.StilesOkie dokie. Bye bye Grumpywolf.CoraBye stiles. ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
Over the next few weeks, Lydia figures out how to make the scent last first and finding how to have Cora wear it.
Cora
Are you sure you can’t come over?
Lydia
I can’t; have a lot to do
Cora
Ok ):
Lydia
I’m sorry sweetheart.
Cora
It’s ok /:
Lydia
I’ll make it up to you<3
Cora
How? (;
Lydia
Cora Hale!
Cora
Is that what you’ll be doing? Screaming my name?
Lydia
I will not dignify myself with responding to that.
Cora
I’m kidding baby.
Lydia can’t help but giggle and blush at the name
Lydia
It’s fine, I promise to make it up to you though. I’ll pick you up, tomorrow ok?
Cora
Yes, ma’am (;
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
Lydia
Does Cora like baked goods?
Derek
Absolutely, Dad used to be so good at cooking/baking. Cora always tried to help but was never really good at it, so she just enjoyed eating everything he made.
Lydia
Oh my Grumpywolf, I can only imagine how her face looked like when she couldn’t get it right.
Derek couldn’t help but laugh, which earned him odd looks from everyone at the table.
Derek
I bet she loves that name. Her face was pretty much how it is now when she gets frustrated.
Lydia
Just all eyebrows then?
Derek
Yeah pretty much.
Lydia
Back to backed goods, is there anything that she likes specifically?
Derek
Anything with blueberries and cheesecake.
Lydia
Thank you very much. I’m off to look up some recipes then. Tell everyone I said hello and I hope we can see each other in the summer.
Derek
I’ve been talking to Stiles about it. She’s not ready to see Scott but I think as long as we’re all with her, she’ll feel calmer.
Lydia
Hopefully, you all can come down here then. I miss everyone. Bye Derek, thank you again.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
Erica
Hey care-bear, what are your plans for the summer?
Care-bear
I'm probably just spending it here, how about you guys??
Erica
Derek says we’ll probably head back home, I say no because Momma Bear isn’t ready..
Care-bear
Yeah, it’s too soon. Maybe for two weeks? She’s been doing so well with you guys, we don’t want her to regress in her progress.
Erica
EXACTLY. But Derek says “Erica, we’ll be there to protect her. She’ll be safe with us.”
Care-bear
I trust Derek and you guys to keep her safe, but I’m still on the fence about Stiles being ok, you know?
Erica
I know that’s what we’re all saying.
Care-bear
I guess we’ll wait to see what Stiles has to say.
Erica
I’ll let you get back to whatever you were doing, bye bye care-bear<3 (:
Care-bear
Bye Erica
End of Flashback
She walks over to her wife.“Cora sweetheart,” She says softly.Cora whines at the name. She then walks over to Lydia.“We’ve talked about this, we’ve taken every precaution to ensure that nothing happens to our kids or us. If god forbid something does they’ll go to Derek and Stiles. You know how much they love their aunt and uncle. They’ll be loved and cared for.” Lydia pulls her wife into a hug and caresses her back. “I know that because of everything you went through you don’t want to lose anyone but you know-” She pulls away to make her look at her. Her eyes are watering. “You know I couldn’t bear to lose you either right? I- Cora you mean everything to me and the thought of losing you.. I would be right there with you. I can’t live without you.”Cora whines again. She didn’t mean to make her wife cry. It’s just that with everything that’s happening at the moment she can feel that something big is coming.“Lydia-” Cora chokes out. “I’m sorry I just, I’m scared. I don’t know what I’d do without you either. I’d be no use to our kids if I lost you.”Lydia stiffens. “Hey no. You listen to me, Cora Hale. We will do everything to protect our family. Nothing and nobody is going to hurt our pack.” She starts scenting her neck and leans in to kiss her.Cora reciprocated it by pulling her closer and Lydia slips her tongue into her mouth. She hears her wife moan.“Lydia,” Cora moans out.“Yes, sweetheart?”Cora whines. “Please, please.” She can feel her smirk.“You know how this goes baby…” Lydia says seriously.Cora's throat tightens. She pulls away and takes her clothes off. She starts to blush when she sees her wife checking her out. Lydia on the other hand starts getting turned on at the sight of her wife naked. Like Cora said with everything going on they haven’t had any time to be alone. Once Cora is sat in the middle of the bed Lydia crawls onto the bed and stops at her thighs.“Look at you baby,” Her voice lowered an octave. “So hard,” She tentatively runs her finger up her wife's cock. She smiles when it twitches, she grabs it and squeezes it lightly.“Fuck” Cora moans. “Lydia please.”Lydia starts to stroke her cock. “Please what sweetheart? Tell me what you want.” She says while lowing her head to lick Coras’, she moans at the saltines of her cum.Cora groans, lifting her hips to meet Lydia's hand.“I want your mouth please baby.” Cora chokes out.Lydia sucks on the tip of her wife's cock and licks the slit, “Baby?” Lydia says with a raised brow. She sits on her thighs and starts to stroke her cock again painfully slow.Cora breath hitches. This is something they, she had been wanting to try but they just never got the chance to. “Please, mo-”Lydia smirks as she moves her hand faster on her cock squeezing it harder.“Mommy please.” She moans when she feels Lydias' mouth on her again.“Good girl,” Lydia says breathlessly. She then takes her wife's cock in her mouth, relaxing her throat so she can take more of her.Coras' hips move on their own at the feeling of her cock hitting the back of her wife's throat. “Your throat is so warm,” She moans out. She looks down which was a mistake because Lydia looked recked, her makeup smeared her mouth dripping with saliva and cum. “Fuck me, you look so hot.” She groans when Lydia moans around her cock.Lydia starts bobbing her head painfully slow deepthroating her every time. Her pussy starts to clench when she feels Cora’s cock twitch.“Lydia, Lydia, wait.” Cora says breathlessly. Lydia pulls off with a pop.“Yeah, baby?”“Inside, I wanna cum inside of you.. I’m so close please.” She whines.Lydia smiles at how desperate her wife sounds. She takes her dress off and climbs on top of her. She starts to tease her by rubbing her pussy on her cock.“Mommy..” Cora whines.“Sorry baby. I didn’t mean to tease you.” She says smirking. They both moan when Cora’s fully inside her. She clenches her pussy enjoying how full she feels.“Please, please, please…”“I know sweetheart I know. I’ll take care of you right now.” She starts to pick up the pace when Cora starts to rub her clit. She starts clenching her pussy milking her wife’s cock.“Fuck mommy please, please,” Cora whines. “So good, good,”Lydia moans as her orgasm hits her. That doesn’t stop her from praising her wife. “Such a good girl, My best girl.” She says caressing her face.Once they’re out of their haze Cora starts to kiss her neck.“Cora, wait.” Lydia moans. “We can continue this later, c’mon.” Just as she’s about to pull away Cora starts to growl and flips them over so Lydia’s on her back“No,” She rumbles.Cora starts to get hard again when she hears her wifes breath hitch, she continues to kiss her neck and leave her scent. “So good” She whispers.“Co-Cora we need to get back to Derek’s they-” She moans when Cora starts to suck on her neck.“Don’t care” Cora mumbles into her neck. “Wanna make you feel good.”They spend the rest of their evening in bed. Lydia savors this moment, she can feel it in her bones that something bad is going to happen. ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
Later on that day
“So what’s the big emergency?” Erica asks as she walks into the house.“Malia has something to tell us,” Stiles states from the couch.“What is it?” Jackson asks.“Wait where’s Care-bear and Lydia?” Erica asks.Stiles smirks. “My sister-in-law and her wife are having a very much-needed private night.”The whole room except for Erica and Allison groan.“Definitely teasing them later.”“So the point is that Malia is here to speak about Scott and Deaton,” Derek says from the kitchen, he walks over to sit next to his wife and hands her strawberries that she can snack on.“Yeah,” Malia speaks up. “I went looking for Scott but I couldn’t find him anywhere so I waited them out at the Clinic because for some reason that was the only place I couldn’t catch a scent.” She then looks up and catches the Kitsunes' eyes and smiles.Erica smirks, “Then?”Malia snaps out of it. “I then asked Kira for some help, so she came to meet me and we could listen in on their conversation because they couldn’t catch our scent with these bracelets that Kira had.”Lydia had made everyone jewelry that could mask their scent, not only that but they were able to blend in with the surrounding scents.Stiles chimes in “Ah yes, courtesy of our resident banshee, we’ll thank her later. Continue,”“They were talking about how they can finally secure Scotts True Alpha status…”“It’s my girls, right? He wants to use them to get his Alpha Spark.” Stiles states as she looks at Jackson.Jackson pales, he avoids her looking at her in the eyes.Kira then speaks up. “He wants to get them to get to you.. He also knows that they’re powerful together.”Derek looks up and sees everyone nod in agreement. “I want to try to figure out a plan that doesn’t involve anymore killing-”“No, Derek. No killing rule when out the window when that mother fucker shot my dad.” Stiles seethes. “Now he’s going after our kids? All for what power? Fuck no. If he has to die then he dies. Both of them.” She looks over at Melissa apologetically. “I’m sorry Momma McCall but if it comes to anyone in this pack living or dying. I am choosing them. Scott lost the privilege of being important to me a long time ago.”Melissa just nodded her head.Stiles claps her hands together as she stands up. “Ok so here’s how this is going to go, we get the kids secure in the basement. With either Boyd or Isaac.”Both wolves protest. They’ve gotten to be the best fighters out of everyone.“Stiles no.” Isaac groans.“Yes, pup?” She says smirking at him.She then hears Jackson and Liam snort out.“Oh you two, think it’s funny huh?”“Yeah calm down puppies.” Cora says walking into the house with her wife in toe.“Don’t even get us started with you.” Jackson says.“Yeah, you’re the worst one out of all three of us.”“As if.” Cora states.Stiles smirks. “Oh yeah? You think I don’t know how you acted with Mal while the rest of us were in San Francisco? How you defended my honor?”The three wolves lift their eyes and smirk at her.“Yeah, Care-bear what was that about huh?” Erica teases.“Shut up Erica!” Cora growls.“Ooo testy,” Erica says.“That’s enough leave my wife alone,” Lydia says.They all turn to look at Lydia who is glaring at all of them.“C’mon Cora you’d do anything for Stiles. She says jump you say how high,” Isaac says. “We just want you to admit it.”“Yeah, we get enough shit about it. It’s not fair that you don’t.” Jackson says crossing his arms and pouting.Cora finally gives up. Because they’re right, besides Lydia the only person that she let’s in or let’s take care of her when she’s hurt is Stiles. It probably has to do with how motherly she’s always been, even before she was even a mom. “Fine. Fuck off now.”The three wolves cheered. Everyone around them started laughing.“I’d like to remind you all that you are in your 30’s and seeking the approval of someone who is the exact same age as you is pathetic,” Peter states from the corner.“Shut up Peter.” Stiles and Malia say at the same time.“Back to my point. We get the kids safe, then take Deaton and Scott down. There’s no other way. I know I don’t know Scott anymore but if he’s willing to kill Alphas willy-nilly then there's no doubt he’s going to hurt my daughters.”“We could have two of us pass as your daughters. They’d be none the wiser, then when they have them we track them down and kill them.” Allison chimes in.“It’s like you read my mind Allie cat,” Stiles says with a smile.“Always,” Allison says smiling back at her.“Ok, now that we got that covered.” Stiles exhales as she turns over to talk to the older kids. “I know you five want to be there with us and fight if it comes to that, but we can’t focus if we’re worried about you guys getting hurt too. So I need you to promise us to stay here and take care of the little ones.” She then looks over at her son and smiles fondly at him. “You’re in charge baby. I don’t want you to use this to ‘prove’ yourself. Use it as a learning experience. If things get bad, assess the situation and talk to Leilaor Miguel. Get their perspective before deciding anything.”The three wolves nod.“Now another thing I wanted to talk about. It’s something we talk about as a family. The girls are little enough that they won’t feel like they’re leaving anything behind. Eli has always wanted to move here. And well I’ve always been skeptical about coming back but having all of you here again I’ve realized that I missed this… I think it’s time for us to come home.”“We can move back too” Erica states.“Yeah us too,” Allison answers as well.Stiles looks at her friends fondly. “I don’t want you to uproot your life. I’m just telling you because now at least you’ll have a reason to come back home for holidays.”“We’re miserable in San Francisco Stiles,” Isaac states.“Yeah, as much as we love Seattle it’s not home,” Boyd says.“Just talk about it and think about it for a few days,” Stiles says. “I think it’s time for all of us to get some rest.”“Stiles-” Malia says.She turns around to look at her. “Thank you. For coming to me with this. You and your kids can stay here as long as you need.” ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ They planned to meet up with Scott and Deaton. Hand over Laura and Claudia, once they’re distracted take them out. If only it was that simple.“What did you do?” Deaton snarls. “These girls have no spark!”Stiles laughs. “Well, no shit dumbass.”In the end, Lydia and Allison volunteered to pass as the girls.“Why?” Scott shouts.“WHY?” She shouts back. “You tried to kill my dad. And actively trying to kill my children!! All for what? Some fucken power? All because you wanted to keep being a fucken Alpha!?”“Yes! Because you took it from me!!” Scott growled.“I didn’t do shit!!! You lost it because you were a terrible fucken person Scott. You were and are a terrible Alpha. You failed to protect me, a pack member. You believed a guy who you hadn’t seen in years. You convinced another pack member that I was lying. Then instead of realizing that you were making a mistake, you decided that the better option was to kill Alphas. When my dad finally caught onto you, you chose to KILL HIM!” Stiles shouts. “Don’t you see how fucken wrong that is man? Killing the man that raised you after your piece of shit, Dad left. My dad was there for you and your mom, just like she was there for me and my dad.”“Scott man come on, you know this isn’t right,” Liam says from the other side of the room.“AND YOU! YOU ABANDONED ME!”“No Scott. I left the pack because after what happened with Stiles I realized that you weren’t going to change and I couldn’t just stay with an Alpha that didn’t listen to its members.” He exhales. “Scott, I told you that Stiles smelled wrong. I told you that she was being hurt by him. I begged you to ask her if she was okay. But you ignored it. You ignored me, ignored Stiles, ignored when she tried to kill herself.”Even though everyone in the room knew what happened they still couldn’t flinch at picturing Stiles’ almost lifeless body.“Scott you crossed a line when you tried to kill my dad. Either you get my girl's powers and I die trying or I kill both of you and Melissa loses her only son.” Stiles stands her ground. She draws from her power and encircles her and Scott so no one else can get in.“Let’s go then.” Scott snarls as he lunges at her.Stiles throws him against the barrier. “Scottie, Scottie” Stiles tsks. “Deaton should’ve warned not to mess with a spark, let alone a mother.” She stalks over to where she threw him.He laughs and mumbles something.“I’m sorry what was that?”“I said,” Scot tries to stand up. “That you’re not capable of murder.”“Oh and why not? I have a valid reason. You’re trying to kill my daughters Scott.”Scott is about to speak again when Stiles interrupts him.“You know what? I don’t think killing you, is what you deserve.” She grabs his face and places her thumbs on his temple. Within seconds he’s screaming out in pain.Deaton is about to help Scott when Jackson intercepts him. “Don’t even think about it, old man.” He has a death wish apparently because he ignores him. Jackson pushes him back, and Cora claws at Deatons back while Isaac and Liam break his arms and legs. Derek is the one to finish the job by slitting the man's throat.When they’re done with the trash, they hear Scott’s screams dial down. Until he slumps on the floor Stiles drops the barrier and walks over to her husband. She nuzzles his neck.“Is he?” Erica asks.“He’s fine, just had to live through what Theo did to me.”“Oh.”“And I took his wolf.”“You-”“Wha?”“How?” Erica asks“It’s not like he deserved it anyway,”“What about his boys?”“They’re still Werecyotes, they’ll be fine.”“But they don’t have an alpha anymore? What’re they gonna do?”“They can either submit to Derek which I think won’t be a problem but if not I can look around to see if anyone will take them.”“And Scott?” Erica asks.“Honestly, I don’t want to deal with him anymore. But I’m going to have to talk to Melissa about it.”Derek interrupts her before she continues. “Come on, let’s get home to the girls.” ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ “I think somethings wrong with them” Leila whispers to Eli.“Yeah I’ve been watching them, I remember mom saying that it happened to dad once when-”“When what?” She says a little louder but Eli is already moving towards the two werecyotes.“Are you both ok? Do you need anything?”Jr. growls at Eli telling him to get away from them but Pete whimpers. He tentatively reaches out for Eli’s hand. Eli takes that as a sign to reach for him too, once he makes contact with his hand Pete seems to calm down.“Jr. let him do it or else you’ll hurt everyone including the kids.” Pete growls out.So Jr. does, once he’s calmed down he apologies to Eli.“No problem man.” Eli then walks away with Leila to check on the little ones.“How are you two doing?” Leila kneels down to caress Claudia’s cheek, “I’m sure everyone’s gonna be back soom ok?” Claudia nods her head.“Yeah c’mon Lo, let’s check on Erica.” Luara grabs her brothers hand and walks over to Erica, her brother Miguel has her on his lap.“Look who it is Erica, it’s Laura.” Miguel whispers into his sisters ears, he sees her eyes widen.“Lo” she says with grabby hands. Miguel puts her down so that she can walk over to her. They let the girls play, while they talk.“So what happened with them?” Migeul asked.“Think the bond with their dad broke.”“Fuck really?” Miguel pales.“Yeah, I remember mom telling me that it happened to dad once,”“With who?”“After the fire,”“Mm”“So you and Talia?”Migeul flushes, “No,”Eli watches his eyes and notices the change in his scent. “Nat?”Miguel then completely avoids making any eye contact with him. “Shut up man.”“You and Nat really?”He ignores the question, “What about you and Leila?”Eli smiles, “We know how we feel about eachother, we’ve talked about it… I-um, we’ve been sleeping together. Just sleeping. Ever since we’ve been here I’ve been on edge especially since I knew Jackson and Lydia were hiding something from mom. Having Leila with me has helped me a lot.”“That’s good Eli. From what dad’s told me, it’s different for wolves so Leila is most likely benefiting from this as well.”Eli blushes, thinking back to the times he’s caught her purring. “Yeah, she is.” ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ Kira sneaks up on the Werecoyote, “So are you staying?”“I-” Without Scott, Malia doesn’t seem to want to stay here anymore. “Whatever the boys want, I wouldn’t want to uproot them from their life.”“How about following Derek’s orders? Stiles?”“I’d do anything to be back on Stiles good side.”“Like that’s ever going to happen.” Syclla says as she walks up to drag Kira away. She then hears Malia start to growl at her. “C’mon my little fox, time to celebrate.”“Sorry Mal,” She says, she walks away with the Emissary. “Coming.”Malia watches them walk away with a frown.“So THAT’S Malia?”Kira blushes. “Yep,”Sil smirks noticing the blush on the kitsune's face. “Now that her and Scott are over are you going to pursue her?”Kira had thought about it, but ever since she’s been back she’s been spending alot of time with Sil and the Ito pack. “No, I think this whole situation has taught me that I was just holding on my crush from High School… Besides I’m interested in someone else.”Sil looks over to her Kitsune, “Oh yeah?”“Yes,” Kira blushes. “Do you not?”Sil stops her, “Kira of course. Oh sweetheart, I like you so much” She pulls her into a hug. “But I don’t want you to make any changes just for me..”Kira laughs, “I think we should go slow for now.. Given that it is my first time with a woman.”Syclla immediately apologizes “Kira of course! I’m sorry i didn’t mean for us to get into this right away! Trust me I’ve had my fair share of bad relationships.” Sil looks at the Kira and reaches for here cheek, “I truly have a feeling this is going to be great, so I definitely don’t want to ruin it.” ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ Once everyone arrived to the pack house each parent ran to their children and embraced them.Stiles’ felt whole again having her girls in her arms. “My sweet girls” She mumbles into their hair.“Mom” Eli chokes out.Stiles looks up at her son. “Come here baby”Eli jogs over to her and hugs her tightly. Although they were sure their plan Eli was scared that he’d lose his mom.Malia on the other hand, held her boys at arms length and told them about their Dad and what was going to happen.“But Mom!” Jr. yelled.“Junior!” Pete yelled. “Don’t yell at Mom!”“If it hadn’t beenn for her Dad would still be Alpha. We’d still be a pack!”Peter walks over to his grandson. “Junior, you need to calm down. It isn’t Stiles fault. Your Dad made his bed with her a long time ago and it’s just catching up to him. Both him and your Mother hurt Stiles very much.” He makes Junior look at him “You both either accept your Cousin Derek as your Alpha or you go searching for a new one. Trust me you won’t find anyone close by that’ll take you once news spreads about what your Dad did.”Junior slumps into Peter and starts crying.“What’s gonna happen to Dad” He mumbles into his chest.“Scott decides on what he wants to do.” Stiles says from the living room, “He’s human now, he can either stay with you guys or leave.”“I wanna stay” He whispers.“Then we’ll stay sweetie.” Malia then walks over to Derek. “I,-” Fuck she knew this was going to be difficult. “Alpha Hale, I’d be honored to join your pack. I will be loyal to you and your Mate. I will do everything in my power to protect you both.”Everyone on the room is stunned. They hadn't expected Malia to submit so quickly.“Mal-” Stiles says as she steps forward.“No Stiles.” Malia meets her halfway, “I failed you twice.. I won’t do that again. I don’t want my sons to see their Mother as someone who doesn’t stand up for what’s right.” She holds onto Stiles hands. “I’m so sorry. I know you won’t forgive me let alone trust me but I will be fighting along side you, for you, until I die.”Stiles starts to cry, she can’t stop the tears. Malia then pulls her into a hug, Stiles let’s her. Malia whispers into her hair how sorry she is, and how much she’s missed her. They stay like that for a while until Stiles can’t cry anymore. When they pull apart, they realize how empty the house is.Stiles is about to look for her kids when Malia stops her, she pulls her towards her again, caresses her cheek and gives her a kiss on the lips. Before she has any time to react Malia pulls away and walks out of the house.Stiles stays tere frozen, unsure of what to do.“Stiles?” No response. “Baby? Are you ok?”“Mm?” She answers.“Stiles?” He pulls her towards him and lifts her chin up until she’s looking up at him. “Hey, look at me sweetheart”Stiles finally looks up at her husband. “Di-did she just?”Though Derek wasn't happy that his cousin had just kissed his wife he understood from Malia's point of view. He knows that if things turned out different Stiles and Malia would've been together for a long while. He remembers Stiles telling him that what hurt her the most in the end is Malia not believing her.“Yes, yes she did Stiles. Now please go wipe off my cousin's saliva.”Stiles pouts, “Aw and here I was feeling up for some smooches,” She goes in for a kiss but Derek pushes her back and keeps her at arm's length. “C'mon Der-Bear give your wife some kisses hm?” She's grinning from ear to ear now.Derek makes a run for their bathroom and all he hears is Stiles says “Alpha my ass” While hiding in the bathroom Derek texted Malia.
Derek
As your children's uncle, I’m asking you to not kiss my wife again.
Malia
I won’t apologize I just thought it was the best way to close or end what was going on with us. I won’t do it again.
✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ “So what will you be doing with Scott my darling?” Peter asks.Malia was not scared by her father whatsoever “Jesus! Don’t sneak up on me!!” She goes to push him but he doesn’t budge.He raised his eyebrow at her flustered look. “What’s got you all” He points his finger and whirls it around her face. “Like this???”She looks away. “Nothing, and for your information. I don’t know what Scott is thinking of doing but I’m staying here with the boys. They want to stay here and I know that they’re only half coyote but they’re half werewolf too. They’re going to need more than just a coyote…”“They have me, we can go somewhere else? Where ever the boys want,”“No Dad. The boys need an Alpha and what better than their cousin? Uncle?” She looks over at him. “What is he to them? If me and Derek are cousins what does that make him?”“I believe since he is older than them, they should call him uncle.”“Ok well who better to be their Alpha than their uncle.” ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ “When are you guys moving down here?” Cora asked.“Well Lila’s school semester ends this upcoming week so I think we’ll work that out and go from there. How about you guys?”“Same here we just have to get Miguel out of school,” Allison answered. “Erica was just about to start so that’s not a problem. I think we could here maybe by the end of the month?”“Great!” Lydia exclaimed. “Are we all going to live here or we gonna build more houses on the land?”“I think for all of our sakes we should build more houses. Just so we could have our own privacy and we could just all meet up here.” Erica answered.“Good ok, I’ll talk to Derek about it.” Cora checked her phone it was already late for them to leave. “When are you guys leaving then?”“I think tomorrow afternoon? Just so we don’t have to be in a hurry.” Erica said.“We should all get some rest then it’s been a long fucken day.” ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ “Der?” Stiles says as she walks up to their bedroom. “Der-bear c’mon baby. Give your wife some smooches.”Derek groans but makes no move to get out of the bathroom.“Derek Hale! You’re being a child!”He finally comes out of the bathroom. “Wipe her saliva from your mouth then I will kiss you.”Stiles frowns. “Oh come on it was barley a peck!” She walks towards him and wraps her arms around his neck.Derek let’s her lean up and get close to him, “Stiles–”Stiles kisses him, it’s slow at first. Derek then lets her deepen the kiss, they both moan when their tongues make contact. He pulls her closer by the hips, his hands caressing her butt, Stiles pulls back when she feels Derek’s hand travel between her her legs.“Der,” Stiles gasps.Derek can feel and smell how wet she is. He pulls her underwear aside and moans when his fingers slip into his wife's pussy so easily. Stiles moans when he starts to finger her, she can’t help but clench around him.“Derek,” Stiles whimpers.Derek pulls his finger out only to insert two more.“Fuck” She starts to grind against his fingers. “Alpha please…”Derek growls as he starts to thrust his fingers in and out of his wife at a faster pace. “Cum for me baby,” He whispers into her ear. “Be a good girl for me and cum on my fingers.” He sucks on her earlobe and moans when he feels her clench on his fingers again. He feels her stomach tighten and her breathing change. “C’mon baby you’re so close, cum for your Alpha Stiles…”That’s what sends her over the edge, she feels her orgasm take over. “Der, Der, Der”Derek pulls his fingers out, “Good girl,” He says as he kisses her neck. “Let’s get cleaned up and get some sleep ok?”Derek gets her cleaned up and ready for bed, Stiles feels very relaxed now without the thought of her daughters being in trouble. Tomorrow will be a new day, and the rest of their pack will go home, eventually returning to Beacon Hills permanently. All is well with the Hale Pack.
