In The Dark

The Wolf In You

     Aiden's POV
      Theo and I laugh as we sit in the tree next to my room. We used to come up here when we were younger and do homework. "You seem happy again. I like it," he says. I sigh, looking down at the Zero bar in my hand.
    "Things are getting better," I tell him. "You cut your hair shorter." He throws his head back groaning.
   "Are you blind? We've been up here for maybe three hours and you've just now noticed," he says. I slap his shoulder. Yelling from the inside of the house catches our attention. He stands up, jumping onto my balcony and offering me his hand. Even now when I hold his hand, I get sparks. That's wrong, I know, but long time crushes are hard to kill.
     We walk down stairs, his hand at the small of my back. Derek stands with Scott, Stiles, and my dad. They all look like their all going to kill each other. "Since when is he alive again?" Scott yells at me.
    My eyes lock with Theo's. "Your heartbeat," he whispers. My brows draw together.
    "How can you hear my heart-"
    "Not the time. You need to calm down," he says.
    "Who the hell are you?" Derek demands, eyeing Theo up and down with a murderous expression.
    "Who do you think I am?" Theo snaps back, tucking his hands in his pockets. Gosh damnit Theo! Keep that mouth if your shut!
    "Anyways, Scott," I say, clapping my hands together. "He's been alive for maybe a week now. He didn't want anyone knowing he was back cause now he's an actually werewolf with fur, and can't control the shift completely. I don't know why he's here."
    I take a deep breath. Derek gets behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling my crop top down as much as it'll go. "Your mine," he says in my ear. I can't help but smirk. Yes I am.
     "Well isn't this wonderful," my dad says. I can hear the sarcasm, but can also tell he's being serious. Theo steps in front of me.
   "I'm gonna go. Call me later," he says. I pull myself away from Derek and walk him out. "It was nice being with you aga-"
    "Cut the crap. What are you?" I ask. His face pales and his jaw clenches. "And for how long."
    "I'm a Chimera," he says. My eyes widen. Stiles and Scott got me caught up in all that happened long before I came back to town and they told me what happened with the Chimeras. Jackson was one and killed many people. They also told me about the dread doctors and what they were doing to people. "I was created by the Dread Doctors and I had a successful transition. I know how to control everything and I'm not bad. There's more than one reason why your werewolf boyfriend doesn't like me and its because of what I am. He's Chimera racist."
    "How long have you-"
    "Almost two years now. Nothing about this has been easy. But right now I'm using it to my advantage." I cock a brow. "I can smell the wolf is Scott and Derek, but not you. I can since power in you. The wolf in you is gone."
    ××××××××
      I look outside Derek's large loft window that overlooks most of the small city. He sits down on the arm of the couch, looking at me. "Its gone...again."
    "What is?" He asks. There's a tension between us and I hate it.
    "The wolf in me. Chimera's can sense things about people, Theo was able to tell I'm not a werewolf anymore. Just a witch; he senses power. I don't want the bond to go away." Derek stands and walks over, taking my hands.
    "I don't want that either, but I'll still love you. I don't need some matting bond to love you." I let out a sob.
   "Derek, you'll still feel the bond, I won't. It's such an empty feeling. I still love when its gone, but the bond makes it so much stronger. And I just- I feel like you won't love me anymore. You think everyone around you gets hurt, and you knew that with me being a werewolf I could defend myself. Now without that and not knowing how to really use my powers, you'll think of me as helpless and not want that in your life."
     He pulls me closer to him, playing my hands on his shoulders. I want him so much closer, and I don't mean that in a sexual way. I just want him to hold me close to him in bed, kissing each other every now and then. "I married you cause I know that whatever comes our way, we can handle. We're in this forever."
    "Isn't this wrong though?" I ask. "Witches hate anything being their own." He bends down a little and rests his forehead against mine.
    "What did I tell you that one time? Its what we do in the dark that no one else has to know."
