To Be Who I Am

Footsteps

Peter seethed for a couple of minutes, watching Derek and Stiles leave together. How could this happen? How could Derek of all people get a mate and he couldn't? The anger at Derek forcing him away from Stiles made him shudder. 

How dare that omega even address him! Even look at him! How could Derek even allow that kind of disrespect!

He let out a couple of breaths, trying to calm himself down. But he knew exactly how to remedy this.

An organisation that he'd found out about while trying to overcome his secondary gender.

If you dug deep enough, they were there, running unethical experiments.

They needed people to experiment on and they had warned Peter that their experiments resulted in death since they only dared about results and not the subject.

All subjects would be killed during experimentation or once they had the results they needed, afterwards, so they could hide the evidence.

The subjects would be envolved in incredibly nasty experiments that would torment them.

To be honest Peter wasn't really thinking when he called them up.

His fury over Derek and Stiles still overwhelming his mind.

"You asked me if I had anyone in mind, I do now" Peter sneered on the phone.

Meanwhile, none the wiser to Peter's actions, Derek stood there awkwardly at the door, Stiles on the other side of it.

He'd walked him to his home, now what?

Stiles was also having the same thoughts, should he invite Derek in? But would Derek think that was too soon?

They'd only just bonded recently.

"Um...thanks for walking me home" Stiles said hesitantly.

"No worries, sorry about Peter again-" Derek finally said but Stiles said, shaking his head "No, I guess I deserved-"

"No! Don't say that!" Derek snarled, feeling anger and annoyance overwhelm him. 

Stiles not expecting Derek to snap back like that, and suddenly feeling Derek's alpha phenomenons flare up, flinched a little in surprise. 

He hated how he couldn't stop himself from stepping back a little even if the alpha's anger wasn't truly directed at him and the expression on Derek's face as he saw Stiles flinch a little.

Stiles had expected Derek to say sorry but instead Derek let out a annoyed sigh and said a bit aggressively "I should go"

Stiles opened his mouth to tell Derek to stay or to tell him, it was okay, he knew Derek wasn't angry at him but the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit them out quick enough before the alpha turned around and walked away.

Stiles watched him go, somehow he couldn't bring himself to call after him and he felt strangely cold.

He shivered a little as he closed the door, running his hands together.

Well, it hasn't gone how he was expecting but at least Derek wasn't sick of him yet!

But Peter's words still stuck to him, like super glue that he couldn't get rid of.

Would Derek have been happier with a beta? Was he angry because he'd bonded with an omega?  

Was he hiding his hatred of his bonded?

Stiles tried to wrestle with these troubled thoughts as he got ready for bed.

His Dad had gone to another sub meeting, that he'd been forced to go to ever since Stiles mother had died. 

It was a feeling that that had to become single needed to be re-educated on how to live their life. 

Stiles didn't really know much about it, only that his Dad said the meetings were helping him but they were difficult at the same time.

Stiles let out a sigh as he fell on to his bed, they keep telling him that his Dad was tired due to working but surely those late night meetings didn't help?

He frowned as he suddenly heard some footsteps downstairs. 

Strange, he didn't hear the key or the door open?

"Dad?" He shouted but there was no response.

Another wave of coldness swept down him but it was a different type of coldness than before.

One that made his heart beat rapidly inside his chest and his breathing suddenly felt a bit  laboured.

If it wasn't his Dad...

Who was downstairs?

Stiles slowly got the courage to step outside of his bedroom when he really just wanted to wrap himself in covers and pretend this was all a nightmare.

"Hello?!" He called out, no one replied.

Suddenly a creek of the floorboards was heard but it was right behind him!

Stiles twisted around sharply, eyes widening in shock but he didn't have time to think anything.

There was pain in the back of his head then everything went black.

Sorry this chapeter took a while! Hope you enjoy!
