I Didn't ask to be a Monster

Chapter Five

"You were right. I believe you. I know you were telling me the truth when you said you loved me. Part of me loves you, but the other part doesn't want to trust you."

Peter wrapped his arms around Lydia and pulled her tightly against his chest.

She pulled back to look him deep in the eyes.

"So you need to earn that other part of my heart. I need to learn that I can trust you. That means you do not manipulate me like you do with everyone else. You will not lie to me. I will not be played like you are obviously playing Derek. If I ever get the feeling that you are hiding something from me I will put you back in the ground. Do you understand?" She was extremely serious.

"Yes I do understand, I promise you." He put her hand over his heart. "What is left of my heart is yours. I promise you I will tell you the truth."

They leaned in for a kiss but were interrupted when Ethan came in alerting them that Aiden and Kali had arrived.

Peter took Derek and Cora out the back while Ethan and Lydia stayed up in the apartment to distract the threatening pair of Alphas.

"Don't call until you are at least a hundred miles away." Peter leaned on the car as she said goodbye to his niece and nephew. "GO!"

Derek put the car into drive and took off.

Peter heard the sound of glass shattering; he rushed upstairs to find the twins and Kali dead on the floor.

Jennifer was standing in front of Lydia.

He wanted to run to defend his mate but he wasn't suicidal. He was no where near strong enough to even attempt to take on the Durach.

He could hear Lydia's heartbeat screaming with fear. He hated being this powerless.

He stayed in the shadows on the second floor looking down at the live pair.

Lydia pulled herself against the column, "What do you want from me?" She was terrified.

"I want you to do what you do best Lydia. I want you to scream." Jennifer's true form appeared in front of Lydia.

Lydia's lungs let out a piercing ear bleeding scream.

Peter covered his ears and writhed with pain. He could feel himself about to pass out from the intensity of her scream.

Cora rushed pass Jennifer to Lydia who was crumpled on the floor sobbing.

Jennifer and Derek exchanged heated words. Derek finally agreed to go with Jennifer if it meant saving Scott's mother and Stiles' father.

"Come on we have to go Lydia, we can get help." Cora helped Lydia up. She had heard Lydia and Peter's conversation from earlier. Cora knew Lydia was apart of the family now.

"From who?" Lydia was frustrated.

"I don't know but we can't stay here." Cora was getting choked up thinking about her brother going off on a suicide mission.

The pair stopped dead in their tracks as they heard the sound of bones crunching. The women turned on their heels to see Ethan and Aiden, now separate, on the floor.

"They're alive..." Cora and Lydia fell to the twins' sides. Quickly they pulled the twins upwards and dragged them downstairs to the car; they had to be quick if they were to ensure their survival.

The entire ride over to Deaton's, Lydia was wrought with worry on where Peter was. She prayed that Jennifer didn't kill him that he was just knocked out somewhere.

Peter finally woke up with a splitting headache. When he was finally able to regain his senses he looked down at the loft below. Lydia, Jennifer and the twins' body were gone.

He panicked.

'Where is Lydia...'

He fumbled to his feet and took off.

He texted her.

"Are you alright, are you safe?"

"Yes, I am fine. I'm with Cora, she protected me. Are you okay? We are at Deaton's; the twins were still alive we brought them here"

"Stay with Cora. I am coming to you."
