The Lost Sister (D.H)

1.4 The Third Beta

A few days later. At Derek's hide out. Night.

I walked downstairs and saw Derek there with Isaac and Erica.

He's got to be kidding me.

I raised an eyebrow at him "that's the pack you want? a bunch of teenagers? "

Derek looked at me "It's not your pack, is it?"

I looked at the two betas "get lost"

They didn't move.

I flashed my red eyes at them "get. lost"

They looked at each other and then at Derek. 

Derek nodded and they left. 

I looked after them and then to Derek. 

He crossed his arms over his chest "why are you here?"

Me "i was at your house earlier. "

Derek "why?"

Me "i was going through old memories. "

He nodded, softly. 

Me "your failure of a werewolf was there"

He shrugged "so ?"

Me "He's going crazy. He wants to know why he's rejecting the bite"

Derek "and so do i"

I sighed " makes three of us "

He looked down. 

Me "so are you going to continue ruining innocent teenager's lifes?"

Derek shook his head "i'm not ruining their lifes, Lis. I'm giving them an opportunity of a better life"

I nodded "by turning them into ticking time bombs? you know as good as i do that if you turn a teenager it could end bad for that one. Not everyone can handle the werewolf life"

Derek "we were able to"

Me "but we were born with werewolf gene, Derek, we never got to experience life as normal people. Not everyone can handle such a change"

Derek "that's why i'm only going for the teenagers who already have a miserable life, to make them into something stronger"

Me "let me guess, "the bite is a gift"?"

Derek "you said that"

Me "Because i'm pretty sure that sounds like something you would say"

Derek shook his head"nope.never said anything like that"

I smirked "bad liar"

Then I saw a ghost of a smile on his lips. 

Me "But the bite always comes with consequences, D. and Jackson is the best example. "

Derek nodded "i know"

Me "You're turning them into monsters"

Derek "you're one of them, Lis, don't forget that"

I shook my head "i could never."

Derek walked over to the stairs.

I called after him "Where are you going?"

Then i looked at him.

He turned to me "looking after my third beta"

I froze confused.

At the ice hall.

We walked inside and i saw Scott talking to Boyd.

Scott "If you're looking for friends, you can do a lot better than Derek."

Derek" That really hurts, Scott. "

Scott looked at him surprised. Derek and his two betas walked on the ice. I stayed by the side, watching them.

Derek "I mean, if you're going to review me, at least take a consensus. Erica, how's life been for you since we met? "

Erica "Hm. In a word - Transformative."

She growled at him.

Derek" Isaac? "

Isaac "Well, I'm a little bummed about being a fugitive, but other than that, I'm great."

Scott " Okay, hold on. This isn't exactly a fair fight."

Derek "Then go home, Scott. "

Isaac and Erica walked over to him.

Scott shifted and growled " I meant fair for them."

I raised an eyebrow.

The two betas started to fly around the ice. Scott was beating their asses.

Boyd was just sitting on the ice machine, doing nothing.

Erica and Isaac were lying on the ice.

Scott "Don't you get it? He's not doing this for you. He's just adding to his own power, okay? It's all about him. He makes you feel like he's giving you some kind of gift when all he's done is turn you into a bunch of guard dogs! "

He threw them to Derek's feet.

I raised an eyebrow.

Derek " It's true. It is about power."

He started to walk to Scott while shifting.

Me "Derek"

Derek scratched Scott across the stomach and then gave him a right hook. Scott groaned. Derek punched him in the stomach. Scott managed to throw a punch at Derek but it didn't do much.

Derek smirked, grabbed Scott neck and started to punch him over and over again. Then he slammed him onto his back.

Scott spit blood.

Derek put a foot on Scott's chest.

Me "Derek!"

I rushed over to them "Let him go!"

Derek ignored me and i could hear Scott gasping for air.

Me "Derek"

I stopped in front of them and put a hand on Derek's chest "Derek, please"

He looked at me.

I pleaded, shaking my head "please, don't kill him, i'm begging you"

Derek looked at me and then at Scott and then at me. I could see his brain working.

He breathed out when it hit him "no"

Then he let go of Scott.

Scott breathed out.

Boyd jumped off the machine.

Scott "Don't. You don't wanna be like them."

Boyd nodded "You're right. I wanna be like you. "

He showed Scott the bite on his side and then left with us.
