The Great Wall of Derek hale

TGWOD chapter 21

Chapter Text

In the morning everyone woke up to the smell of bacon and coffee. Stiles was singing and dancing to the music in his own head as he made the pancakes and the eggs on the huge griddle that he had forced Derek to buy for just these occasions. Derek came in and wrapped his arms round his mate and kissed him on his cheek (he wanted to do more but he could feel the eyes of the Sheriff on him) and then went of to get himself some coffee.

Stiles finished up and shouted out, mainly for his Dad's benefit,

"Pups, go set the table. Danny, can you grab the toast and Isaac can you pour the coffee. Breakfast is made".

He came in and laid out a pile of pancakes at both ends of the table and the eggs and bacon. Everyone sat down and the Sheriff was just going to grab the bacon when Stiles stopped him,

"No Dad, as this is Derek's home, we follow Wolf tradition, the Alphas get to serve themselves first and then me. After that you all can help yourself."

His Dad muttered to himself but waited as Derek and Scott got their pile of food followed by Stiles. The Sheriff made sure he was the next by dint of his glare. He may have been lower in the pack than the Alphas and their mates but he wasn't going to be lower than a bunch of kids.

After the food was gone. Stiles asked the others if they could leave the Alphas alone with Danny as they need to explain what being a werewolf would mean for him. He stopped Lydia before she left to tell her that he would call her when they had finished so that she could meet them at Deaton's to release the twins.

When the others had gone, he pulled them all back into the bed and got them all comfortably arranged. Stiles sat with his back against the headboard and had Danny rest between his legs and rest his back against his chest while the other two lay on either side of him.

Stiles rested Danny's head on his shoulder; rubbed his cheek against Danny's and then begun

"Danny, I'm sorry that we have kept you out of all this. I'm sure you've been suspicious but we didn't want to bring you into this world if we could avoid it because it can be dangerous.

"You've seen the good sides of being in a Pack but there are bad sides. Derek is a born wolf. He comes from a long line of wolves that've existed for centuries. There are humans who hunt werewolves. They're called Hunters, they're meant to follow a code that means that they do not hunt wolves that do no harm to humans but some decide to drop the code. This happened in Derek's case. His whole family, apart from Cora, his uncle Peter and his sister were killed in a fire caused by a Hunter and her group that decided that the Hales should be exterminated."

Stiles stopped for a second to grab Derek's hand, first pulled it up to his lips and then pulled it onto Danny's stomach so he could keep on squeezing it while rubbing his thumb over the back of his hand.

"That Hunter was Allison's aunt, Kate. You've to be always diligent when you're a werewolf, some will try to kill you just because you're a werewolf without any regard to how good you're as a person. The Pack tries to protect its own but it doesn't always work. You shouldn't just think that the Hunters are bad and the werewolves are good, There are equally bad werewolves.

"There are three different class of werewolf: there's the Alpha like Scott and Derek, and me by delegation, Betas who're part of packs but are subservient to their Alphas like you and Isaac and then a third group of wolves that have never joined a pack or were kicked out for some reason like Ethan. These are Omegas .

"A beta becomes an Alpha by receiving it at the death of a family member, rather like inheritance, or by killing an Alpha. Derek became the Alpha after he killed his Uncle who'd become Alpha by killing Derek's older sister Laura. Uncle Peter had gone crazy after the fire and it was actually a service to the world in general to put him down. Peter came back to life less crazy. I'm not going to explain how because it would give you a headache. There's also a special category called the True Alpha which is extremely rare, these are people that become Alphas by their own will and not by inheriting or taking the Alpha from someone else. I only mention them because our boy Scott, he is one of them.

"You may feel invincible but you're not. You heal very quickly but injuries caused by an Alpha take a much longer time to heal, if you're shot with a bullet that has been laced with Wolfsbane, a form of Aconite, it could kill you and you cannot cross a barrier of mountain ash.

"Going back to bad werewolves you were just taken by one: Deucalion. He was the one that captured you and bit you. He was known as the Demon Wolf and he had, together with his band of Alphas, terrorized many Packs killing them if he didn't find them worthy or forcing the Alpha to kill his pack and join him if he would. They came into our town and killed Erica and Boyd.

"Now this is going to be the hardest for you to hear; this Alpha Pack that Deucalion had included Aiden and Ethan who could merge together to become this almost unstoppable Alpha."

When Stiles mentioned the twins, all three Alphas pressed themselves closer to Danny.

"They were the lowest in their pack and Deucalion showed them how they could become this merged Alpha. They killed all their pack and then killed their Alpha to become an Alpha themselves and join Deucalion. As I understand it, the Pack wasn't good and their Alpha had treated them very badly. However, when they came into town they killed Boyd and probably killed Erica for Deucalion. Ethan first got involved with you because he thought you were part of this Pack but I do believe he genuinely loves you. I'm not saying you can't be with Ethan but he and his brother will never be part of this Pack. If they could kill their original Pack, nothing says they won't do it again and I cannot forgive them for what they did to Erica or Boyd. My only concession is that we haven't hunted them down and killed them.

"When you were attacked and captured, both the twins fought to save you and Lydia but they were badly injured. They were taken to Dr Deaton's, yes the vet, but also a werewolf medic. When they woke up and realised you had been taken they went Feral, that's when the wolf comes to the front and there's no humanity left. Deaton had to knock them out and cage them.

"Unless you've questions I propose that we pick up Lydia and go to the clinic so that you and her can be with your boyfriends."

Danny pulled his face up so he could look at Stiles and answered

"There's too much information for me to process yet so I haven't got any questions. I'll sit down with Ethan and Aiden with Lydia and ask them to explain what you've said. If they did, in fact, kill Erica and Boyd and they can't explain it, such as it was an accident or to save their own lives, I don't think I can continue to go out with Ethan."

Stiles grabbed Scott's hand and was still gripping Derek's and holding both of their hands hugged Danny.

"Okay Danny. We're not going to make you choose between the Pack and Ethan. Scott went out with Allison and she's a hunter. However, if you do go out with them, anything that you discuss with the Pack will be off limits to the twins. Other than that we won't stop you."

They all got dressed and once Stiles had called Lydia to tell them that they were on their way and she had informed him that she would meet them there instead, they made there way to the clinic. Once they got there they could hear all the animals in a frenzy. It wasn't a surprise when they saw the twins, they were biting at their cages and roaring. However, as soon as they could recognize the scent of both Lydia and Danny they began to calm and soon they had reverted back to their human selves.

Deaton was pleased that he could get them out of his cages. Once he let them out they both ran up to their girlfriend and boyfriend and hugged them and sniffed their necks. Ethan's eyes flashed blue and he said to Danny

"You're a wolf,"

Danny explained that Deucalion had bitten him and that Scott and Derek had brought him into the Pack. Lydia suggested that she take Danny and the twins to hers to talk. Scott, Derek and Stiles agreed.

On leaving the clinic, Derek dropped off Scott at his home and was about to take Stiles back to his when Stiles said

"You know, we haven't done our homework that Stacie suggested. I can't think of a better time for us to do this. I wasn't sure I was ever going to see you again and I want to be close to you. Can we go back to the Loft? Dad won't be expecting me for a few hours.
