Can This Be Love? [Stiles-Stilinski] COMPLETED

The Moon Also Rises

Chapter 11

~Meagan~ 

That day at school flew by in a whirlwind of romance and learning, with only a few glances of contempt from Lydia and her crew, yet they slid right off my back. I guess when your flying up high on cloud nine its hard to feel hate blows from below. 

I will say that the highlight of my day was last period English.  But I do have a bit of a bias for that class, due to the fact that I share that class with my brother and his best friend-I mean my boyfriend. I still can't believe that I get to say that.  The one thing that I noticed was a dull ache through out the day but I put it off as girl trouble. 

Once the last bell rang signaling the students freedom for the day, Stile and Scott went off to lacrosse practice and I gave Stiles a quick kiss before heading home.  As I was leaving, Stiles grabbed my arm and pulled me gently back to him and enveloped me in a hug. Before letting me go he whispered in my ear. 

"I know you've felt the ache today. It is because of the Moon.  Be careful today, especially around your family. I will call you right after practice. I love you.." 

He pulled back and looked in my eyes as he told me he loved me and I saw a quick flash of crimson before his eyes returned to their normal whiskey brown. In confirmation of my Alpha's concern, I flashed him my ice blue eyes as quickly  as he did before allowing them to return to normal. With a final kiss he released me and went on to lacrosse practice with my brother, just like normal.

After getting home, as the sun started to descend, the ache grew into a pain, which grew into an agonizing, stabbing, pain throughout my whole body. After checking that my mom was at the hospital, I let out an agonized yell. 

I looked at the clock and groaned as I saw that Stiles and Scott still had 20 minutes left of practice. Then a thought crossed my mind. Sheriff Stilinski!!  He would be going through this too just with a bit more practice than I have. I grabbed my keys wrote a note for Mom and Scott saying that I was at Stiles' house, and ran out the door. 

*****************************************************

*BANG, BANG, BANG!!* 

Standing on Sheriff Stilinski's front porch I could have sworn my insides were going to explode through my eyes. 

"Sheriff, please!! If your in their I need your help!! Please!!!" 

Within a few seconds I heard a familiar grunt from the other side of the door, as the Sheriff pulled the door open with a pained look. "Hey kid, you too huh? Welcome to your first Moon. Stiles should be home in a few so come on in and join the painful pity party." 

He swung the door open wider so that I could slide past him inside. 

I had been inside Stiles' house before to train but neutral walls and comfy looking couch seemed to pop out at me. It must have been because of the pain I was in. Whatever the reason, I plopped down onto the couch and tried not to cry as another wave of pain racked through my body. 

After sitting with the sheriff for about fifteen minutes we heard Stiles' Jeep roll into the driveway. Oh thank God!!  Stiles busted through the front door and a look of pained surprise settled on his face when his eyes fell on my slouching form. 

Checking on his father with a glance and a nod, Stiles rushed to my side and sat with my cuddled up to his side. As he slid me closer to him, a wave of horrible pain raked through me and I let out a cry so powerful that my eyes could no longer remain their normal shade. As my steel blue eyes glowed I rode the wave of pain until suddenly it started to subside with a rush of release. 

My head snapped in Stiles' direction with a question etched into my facial features, when the answer was etched into his. A look of terrible pain was on his face and there were black lines on his arms where his veins would be. I must have been making a face of confusion because Sheriff Stilinski spoke up and said with a grunt, " He is taking your pain from you. It's one of the perks of being an Alpha." 

I looked at Stiles, the man I loved and that loved me, with a newfound confidence in our relationship. If this man is willing to take away the pain that I am feeling, simply because he could made me want to kiss him more than ever. 

Once the wave had passed, Stiles slumped over on the couch next to me and I leaned into his chest and whispered a "thank you".  Stiles nestled his face in my hair and kissed the top of my head and gave a slight nod. 

With a glance at the clock I noticed that is was 3:00 am. This night of terror is almost over!!  I reached for my phone and text Scott saying I was okay and that I was with Sheriff Stilinski and Stiles, and that the sheriff didn't want me walking home alone this late after my accident.  Once I sent the text I collapsed on the couch leaned against Stiles and I drifted off into a fitful sleep.
