HOT SUMMER NIGHT •peter hale

5. || peter hale

I'm on my morning run like I've done every morning since we came back to Beacon Hills when I notice Scott is walking alongside the road still wearing only his jeans from the night before and cradling his now-healed left forearm with his right arm.

I run over to him, and comfort him he's a lot calmer now and he doesn't seem angry with me which is a bonus I offer for me to drop him home which he accepts but before we can go anywhere Stiles' jeep pulls up next to us, he's here to pick Scott up and even though I attempt to protest I end up in the car as well being dropped home.

"You know what actually worries me the most?" Scott asks causing me to look up and over at him.

"What? The hunters or the transformation" I question but Scott just blushes deeply causing his best friend to side eye him.

"If you say Allison, I'm gonna punch you in the head" Stiles says looking at Scott like he's an idiot along with me.

"I second that" I say looking at Stiles curiously when he goes to fist bump me, I shake my head but return the gesture.

"She probably hates me now" Scott says clearly upset about it which confuses me even more doesn't he barely know the girl I mean the Argents recently returned to town.

"I highly doubt that you both looked infatuated with each other" I say causing Scott to look at me as if to say 'what should I do' but before I can reply Stiles is speaking over me.

"Ugh, Emma's right. I doubt that. But you might want to come up with a pretty amazing apology. Or, you know, you could just tell her the truth and revel in the awesomeness of the fact that you're a frickin' werewolf" Stiles says causing me to glare at me.

"Don't you dare do that otherwise I will probably have to kill you" I say looking at Scott seriously causing Stiles to look at me then back at Scott with a shocked and weary expression before backpedalling his statement.

"Okay, bad idea. Hey, we'll get through this. Come on, if I have to, I'll chain you up myself on a full moon nights and Emma will help. Heck, we'll even feed you live mice" Stiles says causing me to raise an eyebrow at him whilst Scott gives him another look, only this time, it's more confused than annoyed.

"I had a boa once. I could do it. Where am I going, Emma?"

"The Hale house" I say simply causing Stiles to look slightly shocked as he bites his lip to stop himself from asking the question he wants before eventually doing it.

"You live there?" Stiles squeaks out before feeling bad for saying that. "I mean didn't you inherit like a massive fortune from the fire."

"Yeah, I did but there are hunters in town, and I can't risk my son or nephew getting hurt so we're laying low for now. Eventually we'll buy a place" I explain causing both boys to nod there's silence for a moment before another question is asked.

"So, how long have you been a werewolf for? Were you born one or..." Scott asks trailing off trying to make conversation.

"I've been a werewolf for 13 years and I've known about them for 18" I explain just as Stiles pulls up to the Hale house.

"So, if you have any questions call me" I say taking Stiles' phone and putting my number in it and as I get out the car I hear.

"Yes! Did you see that! Right there she put her number in and I didn't even ask! Awesome" Stiles says whilst Scott just gives him an incredulous look, ugh, teenage boys.

Today I'm wearing a black tight dress, black tights and heeled black knee length boots, matching the outfit with a leather jacket and my black channel bag. My hairs down and my makeup is natural.

"Have a good day baby" I say giving my son a kiss on the cheek.

"Have fun kiddo we'll pick you up after school, okay" Derek says with a soft smile which is only reserved for his family.

"Okay, will I see Jack after school?" Olly asks looking up at us with a bit of hope in his eyes.

Jack is Aaron's son and Olly's best friend they were born around about the same time, and they've gotten along ever since.

"Not today mijo but you will see him soon I promise" I say with a smile whilst Olly just sighs before running off to class with a few of his new friends.

"Got any case work to do today?" Derek asks as we make our way back to the car blanking out the stares, we get from soccer moms, posh moms, and the gossipers.

I look at him with a smile motioning behind him to a woman who is quite obviously checking him out, but Derek doesn't look the slightest bit interested.

"No, but I am going to visit Peter, I haven't seen him in a while" I say when I realise, she's not going to come over.

"Don't forget that we need to go watch the beta practice encase he loses control" Derek says knowing that talking with Peter is something that I'll want to do alone as it's a conversation between me and my husband.

I look at him with a smile shaking my head, obviously he thinks that I'll forget.

"I haven't I'll pick you up after and we can head straight there" I say as we get into my car, I peel out of the car park driving Derek home before going to Beacon Hills memorial.

"Okay sounds good" Derek says kissing my cheek before climbing out the car.

When I reach the long-term care unit Peters nurse, who I didn't catch the name of, gives me a really weird look and her vibe is just off like it has my wolf scratching at the edges wanting to just come out and well, kill her which is odd as I don't know her.

I ignore her mostly before walking into Peters room and shutting the door.

"Hey, Peter. Did you miss me?" I ask and obviously get no response it's not like I thought I would but it's just nice to talk to him about everything.

I tell him all about our son and the adventures he's gotten up to over the years but still Peter doesn't move a muscle.

Little did I know that Peter could hear every word of what I'm saying and is trying to speak, trying to me to understand what's going on. How he can't control his wolf, and it's taken over and his nurse is the one who helped him go completely feral.

Yea after the fire he's been slowly going feral but he could feel his mating bond and the thought of his child was enough to keep him sane.

But he can't move and he's never been so frustrated, even after all these years that I've visited and cried, begging him to move, that all killed him not being able to respond, but this— this tops all of it.

Most of all he wanted to warn me about the psychotic nurse that will most likely be listening in to all of this.

But he can't— he's stuck.

(A/N- and I'm finally down with episode one sorry it's a short one but I thought this was the perfect place to end this chapter on, if you enjoyed, please vote ~ Hazza)
