Chapter 37...

(Luca P.O.V)

“He’s a beauty,” Marcos said when he sat on the couch feeding Dylan. “You did well l’il brother.”

I smile at my brother from where I was tucked into the corner of the couch. Derek was currently in the kitchen and the pack out whilst Marcos  bonded with his nephew. I am glad to have my brother around and watched with a fondness when he interacted with Dylan.

While we stayed at home, Derek and the pack were out looking for Kate and finding…nothing. Trails ended up false leads and scents were non-existent. It was frustrating and taking its toll on all of them. I was anxious, tired, and irritable. Derek was angry, moody, and quiet. The pack fed off our emotions, making them snappy as well and Dylan seemed to sense it as well through our connection and was constantly wailing at points of the day.

“Where’s Derek with the case?”

“Nothing,” I answered with a sigh rubbing my forehead. “It seems she is far more intelligent then we thought she is and good at removing her trails.”

Marcos looked down at Dylan before meeting my eyes. “I can help?”

“I know you can, but Derek doesn’t want you to,”

“I feel helpless, I am your brother. I have known you since you were a little boy, Dylan’s my nephew, and Derek is now family as well. I feel like I need to help.”

I rubbed my forehead with my forefinger and looked down at Marcos’s feet “I know, but you know how stubborn he is, he won’t listen,” I sighed slide my eyes to close for a moment before reopening it and looking back at Marcos’s face, “Maybe we should let it happen the way they are...”

Marcos was quiet when he finished with Dylan’s bottle and brought him to his shoulder to burp him.

“Like I said…I just help helpless.”

I nodded knowing how he felt and looked up when Derek came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup and the pack walked into the house talking amongst them. I stood up from the couch, Derek met my eyes when he walked over to me and kissed me gently on my forehead.

“Anything?” I asked while taking the bowl of soup from Derek’s hand and walked back to the couch before plopping down carefully enough not to slip the soup...

“No, nothing,” Derek murmured, his eyes shining in frustration, and Stiles sighed deeply beside Jackson, Danny and Scott nodding when he stepped towards the couch. Stiles nodded Marcos in greeting before he took Dylan off him and pressed a kiss to his forehead before resting him against his shoulder.

“Bitch is sneaky!” Erica raged coming into the living room and chucking her coat on the couch. “We get a lead, she’s gone, we get a location, she’s gone, and it’s so frustrating. It’s like she knows. It’s like she knows we’re coming for her and she’s on the down low.”

“Of course she does,” Danny muttered with a sigh coming up behind Stiles to wave his fingers at Danny who blinked at him. “She knows.”

I swallowed roughly glancing at them all... This was not really how I wanted things to happen; I wanted peace, tranquillity... I didn’t at all liked my family my pack, this perturbed, perplexed. How she could outsmart a bunch of werewolves...? How could she remove her scent from a pack of scent catchers...

“We trace her scent, but somehow we end up smelling Derek and her scent is lost” Scott informed as he plopped down on the couch closer to the fireplace with a loud huff...

My heart clenched a pang of hurt rose in my chest. I put the bowl of soup on the coffee table, suddenly losing my appetite, left them all to it and went to the kitchen and opened the fridge to get a bottle of blood.
