Destined *Stiles Stilinski* Book 3

You just got here.

After an extremely long and intense kiss I pull away breathless. "Why'd you do that?" I ask tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Sometimes you've gotta take a risk to get the reward." He smiles.

I let out a laugh and roll my eyes. "Are you in Finstock's economic class."

"Maybe." He chuckles.

"So what's the reward in this situation Mr. Killian?" I tease tugging on the front of his shirt.

Jake lets out a hum in satisfaction. "I think I'll settle for this..." he trails off leaning down again. It feels so right but like something is missing, in the back of my head I know exactly what is missing but push the thoughts aside because right here, right now, this is what I want.

As I pull Jake closer by the back of his neck a searing pain shoots through my side. "Ahh!" I cry out backing away from Jake and hunching over.

"Devin! Woah Devin what's wrong?" Jake panics. He reacts quickly when I start falling and catches me. "Devin hey talk to me! Please!" He begs as tears stroll down my face.

My whole body hurts and I feel like I'm getting the shit kicked out me. "Jake." I cry not able to say more. "I c-can't." As I grip my stomach in pain I feel a liquid. Looking down I saw red... blood.

"Devin what the hell? You're bleeding!" Jake panics putting pressure on the wound. "What the hell is going on?" He ask.

"V-vindex." I choke out as Jake's eyes widen.

"How?" He questions applying pressure to the wound. I just shake my head not able to answer because of the pain. "Devin talk to me, what can I do."

In that moment I knew who I needed and it's wasn't Jake, no matter how much I wanted it to be Jake it wasn't. "C-call St-Stiles." I choke.

Jake's eyes look uneasy before he reaches in my back pocket and pulls out my phone. Holding the phone to his ear he pulls me closer in attempt to help.

"Devin?" I hear Stiles answer.

"Actually Jake. Look we're at the park and Devin collapsed in pain and is bleeding, she said she's a vindex then told me to call you." Jake rushes out.

"I'm on my way." I hear Stiles say. Jake nods and drops the phone. Wrapping me tighter he pulls me into his chest when he notices me shivering.

"Jake it hurts." I cry as another pain sears through my body.

"Shhhh it'll be ok." He cooes. Minutes later Stiles is flying in on two wheel and scrambling out of the car.

"Devin!" He yells sliding down next to me. Within a moment I'm being shifted into Stiles arms. "Shhhh you're going to be ok." He whispers pressing his cheek to my head. The second I hit Stiles' arms the pain is eased a bit, not much but just enough for me to catch my breath.

"Where's Scott..." I gasped. "And Derek."

Stiles eyes look at me wearily. "They went after the Alpha pack."

I gasp again trying to catch another breath. "Of course." It all makes sense, I'm connected to Scott and Derek and obviously these two are getting their asses kicked and it's reflecting on me.

"What can we do to help her?" Jake ask taking my hand in his.

Stiles shakes his head. "Nothing, we just have to wait it out." Stiles looks down into my tearful eyes and hugs me closer.

"I'm... gonna kill them." I threaten making Stiles smiles.

"I'll help you out with that." He grins.

"I don't understand." Jake butts in. "Why can't we help her. There's got to be something!" He exclaims as another pain racks through my body.

"Ahhh." I cry pulling myself closer to Stiles.

"How can you sit here and watch her be in pain like this?" Jake ask angrily.

"There's nothing I can do Jake! Devin and I have researched this, we've spent night after night trying to figure these things out and all we've found about this is you have to let it happen." Stiles yelled.

"Well you must have missed something." Jake argues.

"No I don't think we did. I hate to break this to you Jake but you just got here, so you don't know everything you think you do, you've missed some stuff these past few years!" Stiles sasses.

As all this unwinds in front of me I slowly begin getting my breath back. "Guys." I speak up making them turn to me. "I think it's over." I shiver.

"You sure?" Stiles ask helping me stand up.

I nod. "Yea but..." I go to stand on my own and fall. "Ok no not good." I whimper as Jake was the first to react and catch me. I lift up my shirt and see the long mark down my side not healing. "I'm not healing?"

"What how is that possible?" Jake ask touching around the claw mark but stopping when I flinch away.

"One of them isn't healing that means." I realize.

Stiles looks puzzled for minute as he thinks. "Ok um well they were fighting alphas so don't wounds from alphas take longer to heal?" Stiles ask and I nod. "Ok then maybe that's it.

"Yea maybe." I shrug.

"Here let's just get you home and in bed." Jake says scooping me in his arms.

"Yea we've got a cross country meet tomorrow so we all need to be in bed." Stiles says heading towards the jeep. "Hey why don't we put her in my jeep so she has more room to lay out."

Jake rolls his eyes. "No she'll be fine, besides I'm taking her back to our place anyways." Jake emphasizes our.

"What ever. If you need anything call me, alright Dev?" Stiles says kissing my head.

"You know I will." I smile softly as Jake slides me into my car. "Hey Stiles!" I call out the window after Jake shuts the door.

"Yea?" He raises his eyebrow turning around.

"Thanks for coming." I smile.

"Yea of course." He smiled.
