Three Little Wolves Part 4

The Bone Woman

-Riley

The Deadpool was over. No more assassins, no more deaths, no more bad things. 

That night, Scott and Sam had a talk with mom. Apparently, they kept the money from Garrett's locker. My mom made them give the money back to the Hales. I was laying down in my bed but I couldn't sleep. Any other time when it was storming like this, I slept like a baby. I tried listening to music, counting sheep, everything and nothing worked. I was drawn outside for some reason. I ended up walking all the way to the loft but I wasn't alone. Lydia, Anna and I arrived at the door of Derek's loft. He opened the door and we screamed. 

All I remember after that is waking up in Derek's bed. "What happened?" i asked. "You along with your screaming friends arrived in front of my door screaming your heads off." Derek said. I was still mad at him about the whole Braeden thing. "Riley, I'm sorry. I know you're still mad at me and I'm sure you hate me, but please, please understand that I never wanted to hurt you." He said as he came closer to me. "Derek, stop." I said quietly. I was on the verge of tears just by being in his presence and him apologizing is only making it worse. "Riley, just listen. I love you." He said as he sat on the bed. I looked up at him and the tears just fell down my face uncontrollably. He reached for my hand and I jerked it back. "Stop. I have to go." I said as I got up from his bed. Derek grabbed my arm and pulled me into his chest. "Stop this." He said. "You don't have to be like this. You've put up this wall and it's only hurting you." He said as he put his face in my hair. "Riley Jose Akota Santiago McCall, I love you. I don't want you to be mad at me anymore. I want that little kid I met in the forest back." He said. I looked up at him and he was crying too. I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him. "Forgive me Pequeno." He whispered. I wrapped my arms around him as tight as I could. "Close your eyes." He demanded. "Why?" I asked. "Just do it." He said annoyingly. I closed my eyes and I felt a velvet box in my hands. "Derek." I said as I opened my eyes. "Happy 16th Birthday Riley." He said as he kissed my forehead. "Open it." He whispered. I opened it and it was a bracelet. It had a triskelion engraved on it. I looked on the back of it and it had a saying in spanish. 'Siempre seras mi pequeno lobo. -D.Hale' "You will always be my little wolf." I said. I looked at him and pure happiness was written all over his face. "I'll never take it off. Thank you Der." I said. "Anything for you." He said. 

My brothers came over and tried giving Derek the money back. "Don't you want to know why it took so long for us to return it?" Scott asked. "How much do you guys make at the animal clinic?" Derek asked. "Minimum wage." Sam said. "That's why. Anyone can be tempted. even True Alphas boys." He said. "You're not angry?" Sam asked. "It's not even mine it's all Peter's." Derek laughed. "Where's your money?" I asked. "You, my dear, are standing on it." He said. Scott looked down. "There's another vault under us?" Scott asked. My god. Could my brother get dumber? "No. I own the building. And I have my own bank accounts including one for Riley's schooling and his own private account. All the money from the vault was Peter's." Derek said. I looked at him with glaring eyes. He made me 2 bank accounts?!?!?!?! I could kill him. "I honestly think we'd be better off if the rest of it never came back." Derek said. Derek zipped up the bag. "I know that Lydia and Anna were here last night." Scott said. "You too Riley." Sam said as I tried walking away. "Deaton and Max are still trying to figure out what Kate did to you." Scott said. "If anyone can find an answer, it's them." Sam said. 

I was left alone with Derek. I grabbed my jacket and headed towards the door. He grabbed my hand. "Does this mean we're good?" He asked. I nodded. "Yes. I forgive you Derek." I said as I hugged him. "Come over tonight. We're having a little shindig for my birthday." I told him. "I wouldn't miss it for anything love." Derek said as he kissed my forehead. "Now get to school kid." He laughed. 

-Scott

I was walking down the hall when I heard his heartbeat rise. He was in trouble. I ran in the locker room to see Liam almost getting crushed by a weight. Liam started coughing once the bar was off his chest and he could breathe. "If you don't want to be with the pack that's fine." I told him. "But don't push your friends away too Liam." I added.
