"My dad will find us" promised Stiles Stilinski once the nausea of what he had done receded.
"He won't have time" said Peter.
"What the hell do you mean" spat Stiles, jumping to his feet at what sounded like a threat to his father's life.
Peter laughed. "I'm not going to kill him"
A hand landed on Stiles' shoulder. He flinched, spun around and was confronted with Erica Reyes in another impossibly low top. Part of Stiles' mind vaguely wondered if she had a stash of clothes hidden somewhere in the Hale House ruin.
Stiles shoved those thoughts and the beta's hand away and snarled at her much to the pack's amusement.
"We're letting you go" sing-songed Erica and Stiles blinked.
"What?"
"Of course," purred Peter. "You can't go telling your daddy or Scott's mummy"
"Oh yeah?" challenged Stiles, trying to think of what their plan could possibly be.
Scott stood up from across the room and moved silently to Peter's side. Stiles stared.
"You won't tell" laughed Isaac. "We never told"
"Well you're all psychos" snapped Stiles who remembered the beta trio going missing for a short while and their changed fashion sense when they returned.
"I'm not a psychopath," smirked Peter. "I'm the alpha"
Stiles scowled but he had realised that he had an advantage. He hadn't been bitten so Peter had no hold over him. Now he just had to save Scott.
--
They left Scott on his doorstep and Stiles on his. Stiles glanced around a moment to check they were really gone and swallowed down the lingering taste of woodland creature in his mouth. He had to tell his dad but he wasn't sure how to approach werewolves. He could tell his dad what had happened minus supernatural creatures but the Sherriff might get hurt.
Maybe Stiles shouldn't tell him after all?
No. That was what they wanted.
He walked swiftly up the steps and pressed his doorbell.
John Stilinski opened the door, shadows under his eyes. His mouth dropped a little and he swept his son into a hug.
"Stiles" He could hear all the emotion in his father's voice.
Stiles opened his mouth to tell his dad what had happened but he couldn't say it. Something else came out instead.
"It's okay dad. I'm okay"
"What happened son?" There were tears in the Sherriff's eyes and it made Stiles heart hurt.
Once again Stiles went to say what he needed to say but something else came out instead. "We got lost in the woods"
John pulled back and surveyed his son whilst Stiles panicked inside. Why was this happening? He hadn't been bitten. Peter Hale had no control over him.
"Are you hurt?" frowned his dad staring at Stiles' jaw. Stiles felt the spot and there was a bruise there.
"Oh, I fell down an incline and was beaten up by a tree." Stiles laughed. He had meant to explain how he had been thrown across a room several ties and locked in an old freezer. But he couldn't.
--
Stiles lay in his bed, staring soundlessly up at his ceiling.
His dad had checked him over and asked him more questions, all of which had received an unintentional lie in response. When John Stilinski was happy he had phoned Melissa who had confirmed Scott's safe return with the same story. They had then sat and watched TV and Stiles had complained about the steak his father was demolishing.
Sherriff Stilinski was now at the station and Stiles had never felt more lost.
How did Peter Hale have as much sway over him as he evidently had. How had Scott had exactly the same story despite them not discussing it beforehand?
Stiles' thoughts were broken by his phone ringing.
"Hey Scott"
"How are you Stiles?"
"How do you think?" Sarcasm bit harshly into Stiles' tone.
"Wasn't it so cool how we had the same story?" Scott was oblivious.
"It's not right Scott."
"Of course it's right, our alpha gave us orders and we followed them perfectly." Stiles felt sick.
"He's not our alpha." Said Stiles but the words burned his throat.
"He is"
Stiles hung up and cried.
Peter Hale was his alpha and he had no idea how it had happened.
