Unexpected Turn of Events

Chapter 3: Awakening

Scott felt a great weight lift from his shoulders as he lost himself in the kiss. It was like nothing he had ever experienced before; Scott's kisses with Allison were more lustful and ravenous, but this kiss was different for Scott it was much more pleasant and loving and most of all it conveyed what Scott craved most...commitment. Aiden's kiss promised Scott that Aiden would always be there whenever Scott needed him to. Scott decided to deepen the kiss and wrapped his arms around Aiden pulling the taller teen closer to him. Aiden offered no resistance and willingly allowed Scott to pull him; he felt his wolf let out a joyful howl. The two teens broke a part after a few minutes, the room feeling like a hundred degrees. Staring face to face, the two wolves simply looked at one another as they held each other close, wondering if this is real or not. "Scott, I love you," Aiden began his eyes never breaking contact with Scott's. "I know that seems hard to believe, given all that I've done in the past to you and your pack, but ever since I met you the first day of school I have liked you. It pained me when Deucalion ordered Ethan and me to go after Boyd with Kali because we knew she wanted revenge for Ennis' death. Scott can you find it in your heart to forgive me? I mean I know that I am the last person in the world who deserves forgiveness especially from a guy as beautiful as you, but" Aiden continued but was immediately cut off when he felt Scott's lips pressed against his own. This kiss conveyed everything that Aiden had just mentioned and then some. "Aiden, I understand that you were just following orders from Deucalion. Believe me, I have met the man and he gives off a really dark prescience that screams 'Disobey me and die," Scott replied as he stroked Aiden's face softly almost as if that applying pressure would cause Aiden to shatter. "And as far as forgiveness goes, I already have forgiven you. My pack wasn't to pleased by that when I told them, but I reminded them that it was Kali who lifted Boyd onto Derek's claws and impaled him. Isaac also told me that as you left, you had a look on your face that read What have I done? So I forgive you and in regards to your first statement..." Scott trailed off as he gave Aiden a chaste kiss and smiled when he pulled away "I love you too. Though this happened so fast, I feel that some part of me has always loved you. When I first met you, I had to do a double take as you and Ethan walked by. I stopped and thought who the hell is that gorgeous angel?" Scott's face reddened by his admission and continued, "Aiden that was when I started falling for you and it just grew, I didn't tell anyone till I stopped Ethan one day in the hall. I told him that I liked you, but I wasn't sure how you felt about me," Scott finished his eyes searching Aiden's almost as if this confession would upset him. The two young teens continued to embrace each other, as if letting go would wake them from their dream like trance. Scott laughed a bit and slowly began to break the hold. "I think we should get to that training now Aid," Scott spoke seriously. Aiden could hear Scott's heart start to race and quickly squeezed the young Alpha's hand. "Scott you're going to be fine, I trust you. You won't lose control and if you start too, I'll bring you back," Aiden said reassuringly. Scott still looked a little unsure, but one look at Aiden's angelic face graced with that cocky smirk that Scott was starting to love and he knew that he could trust Aiden to bring him back because he is Scott's anchor. "I trust you," was all Scott said as a look of understanding passed between them. "Let's go out back so we or me mostly, won't destroy any of the furniture in the house," Scott suggested as he gazed at the millions of pictures that litter the wall, the black leather sofa his mom just bought as a gift to herself for coming into the supernatural world with semi-open arms, and the new 60" plasma that sat on the oak stand in the corner of the room. "That's probably a good idea, but hopefully if you do go on a rampage you will attack the first thing insight which will be me," Aiden replied smugly, but his countenance changed when he saw the worried look in Scott's eyes. "Oh my god Aiden that is so not funny. I don't want to hurt my boyfriend...errr, you even if you can heal super fast!" Scott blurted out in nervous fashion. Aiden quickly snatched Scott's arm and pulled him out the back door and into the middle of the yard; he then abruptly turned towards Scott and grasped him firmly to steady the short nervous teen. "Scott breathe ok. Just breathe," Aiden whispered as he noticed Scott's claws started to come out and his eyes began to burn crimson red, the symbol of an Alpha. Suddenly Aiden was face-to-face with Scott whose breathing had become heavy and was beginning to come out as heavy growls and shallow breathing. Scott looked completely terrifying right now; his eyes were pure red and his face was covered with whiskers, but it was the elongated teeth and the insistent growling that had Aiden petrified to his core. He's generating such a strong presence, Aiden thought to himself as he stared at Scott in awe. A sharp stinging sensation radiated from Aiden's stomach and he heard the liquid drip. Scott had slashed Aiden in his stomach, but before Aiden could react he immediately felt arms wrap around him in a comforting manner. The familiar and rather comforting warming sensation told him it was his mate comforting and apologizing for his actions. "Oh my God! Aiden, are you ok? I am so sorry for that, I didn't mean to attack you like that, I just..." Scott stammered apologetically, panic clear in his eyes. Aiden, already healing from the wound, began rubbing Scott's back in a comforting manner. "Scott, it's ok I'm fine. I wasn't paying attention, it was my fault. I was just so astonished by your Alpha presence that I didn't take time to notice that you were on the move until I felt your claws in my stomach," Aiden replied gently kissing the back of Scott's head as he breathed in his mate's scent. Aiden was astonished by how quickly Scott regained his composure and shifted back to his human form. He was ravenous, his eyes were bright red and he growled like...a wolf. How the hell did he shift back so quickly? Ethan and me had a hell of a time trying to restrain ourselves when we fused together for the very first time, but Scott somehow snapped out of his animal instincts...Aiden was so lost in though that, he hadn't realized Scott was staring at him in confusion. "Aiden, you ok?" Scott asked as he nuzzled closer to his mate. "How did you do that Scott?" Aiden asked in a hushed tone. Scott pulled back to look him in the eye. "Do what?" Scott asked, a look of bewilderment evident on his face. "How did you regain control of yourself....I've never seen anything like that before. When Ethan and I tried to fuse together for the first time we...let's just say it wasn't very pretty," Aiden replied shuddering at the memory of him and Ethan ripping innocent people limb from limb, how they were so blood thirsty and rabid that they reveled in the carnage and bloodshed that was left behind. Scott, finally understanding what Aiden meant remain silent; he had no idea how he snapped back to his senses, all he knew was that he felt a pain in his stomach like the flesh was being torn from his skin and he was back to human. "Aiden, when I stabbed you, I could feel it like it was happening to me instead of you. That's how I was able to snap out of it.... But what does that mean?" Scott uttered in solemn tone, and for once Aiden was at a loss for words. "I don't know Scott, but I think we should go see Deaton because he knows a lot about the supernatural and he might be able to explain what's happening," Aiden replied as he kissed Scott's temple and wondered what the hell is going on....
