They were walking back to the old Hale house with Peter and Isaac and were almost there when they all saw something and stopped.

"You haven't told them everything yet, have you?" Peter asked Derek.

"What do you mean?" Isaac asked.

"Why do you think Derek was in such a hurry to build his pack? So eager to strengthen his power and his number? When there's a new alpha, people take notice."

"People like who?" Fionnuala asked.

"What is this? What does this mean?" Isaac added, walking up the steps to the front door.

"It's their symbol. And it means they're coming."

"Who?" the two betas asked at the same time.

"Alphas."

"More than one?" Isaac didn't sound thrilled.

"A pack of them," Derek stated.

"An Alpha pack," Peter confirmed. "And they're not coming. They're already here. Derek, I suggest you take your girlfriend home. Now that she knows you're safe, I'm sure she could do with some well-needed rest."

Derek nodded, before the two walked away. When they reached the road, she said, "Derek, my house is that way."

"You actually wanna go home?"

"Well, no."

"Fantastic. Let's go to my home then. We deserve some quality time together, don't you think?"

"Dinner, cuddles. Yeah, I could be down for that," she agreed.

"Great. Let's go."

When they arrived, Fionnuala quickly threw together a quick meal which they ate before snuggling up together.

"Oh, did you finish the book I brought you?" she asked.

"No, not yet."

"Where you at in it?"

"Can't remember."

"You like it?"

"Hm. Yeah, it's a good book."

Silence reigned for a little, before Derek looked down and saw Fionnuala fast asleep.

He smiled, grabbing a blanket and throwing it over her to keep her warm while she slept.

"Sleep well, beautiful," he whispered, before getting up and pulling out his cell phone and dialing Scott's phone number. When he didn't answer, he tried Stiles'. He answered.

"Hey, Derek."

"Hey, is Scott there?"

"Yeah. Hey, Scott! Derek's on the phone! He wants to talk to you!"

"Actually both of you. Put me on speaker."

"Kay. You're on speaker."

"Isolde still hasn't had her Winter Formal yet. I have an idea for how I want it to look. But I need your help."

"Whose help?" Scott asked.

"Both of you. I want to make it up to her for continually, but not intentionally, putting it off."

"Absolutely we will help you. Where and when?" Stiles answered.

"Tomorrow afternoon. I need someone to be a distraction for her. Get her out of the loft and away from here so we can do it."

"I'll find someone." 

"Thanks. See you guys tomorrow."
