The bet - Sterek, Scisaac, Thiam

Freeze Fright

*Isaac POV*

"Deaton?" I screamed as soon as I entered his veterinary building.

"Hello Isaac," Deaton replied sweetly.

"I assume you have no idea what happened tonight, do you?"

"No, I believe not!"

"We were attacking this new pack in this building. Liam and Stiles ran in to a room. The metal doors lowered before we could get to them. When the doors opened again, Theo and Derek grabbed them and we legged it!"

"Are they okay?"

"They are on the brink of freezing to death."

"What?! Both of them?"

"Yes!"

"Even Liam?"

"He won't warm up."

"I think I have heard of this. I believe it is called freeze fright."

"Freeze fright? What is that exactly?"

"You can be infected by it if the room is filled with white smoke and you are a werewolf."

"But Stiles isn't a werewolf!"

"Then he must be the mate of one."

"Is there a cure?"

"Not one that has been discovered but I think I might be able to work it out if I have enough time."

"What do you need to know?"

"What warms them up?"

"I'll call Derek now."

In that instant, Scott raced into the room with his eyes shinning red. My reflexes cause me to flinch and tried to convince me to run away. My feet wouldn't move due to the guilt I felt about shifting and running away. I wanted to cry my heart out but I knew I couldn't look weak in front of my beloved alpha. 

I picked up my phone and dialled Derek's number.

"Hello?" I asked into the phone.

"Isaac, are you okay?" Derek replied.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine."

"Where are you?"

"At Deaton's. Do you know what warms Stiles up?"

"He said the only thing that warms him up is me."

"Okay, thanks. Bye!"

"Bye!"

I hung up the phone. A million solutions ran into my head. The cure could be the warmth of the alpha or it could be someone you trust. There were so many options that I couldn't decide which one it was. Well, that was until I remembered that Deaton said that Stiles could only have freeze fright if he was a werewolf's mate. It hit me like a yellow wolfsbane bullet. Derek and Stiles were mates. The only cure that was reliable was to snuggle with your mate. Stiles was saved. But what about Liam? He could die if he doesn't find his mate. It was really rare to find someone your wolf desires and if you found them, you were considered extremely lucky. I couldn't let Liam die. 

My mind went back to the moments of that night that I remember. Whilst I was resting my head on Scott's shoulder, I remember Theo barking orders to Derek. A beta wouldn't dare to do that unless they wanted a death wish. In addition to that, Theo growled at his alpha. It was followed by the car shaking from Derek's roar but that isn't the point. A beta would only have the ability to do that if something extremely important was at risk. Liam and Theo could easily be mates. I knew I had to test both pairings, seeing if my predictions are true. If they were, maybe I could find a cure.

"Deaton, I think I know how to save them," I informed him.

"What did Derek say," He politely asked.

"That he was the only thing that could warm Stiles up," Scott replied for me.

"And you said that Stiles could only get freeze fright if he was a mate of a werewolf," I continued.

"The werewolf would have to be very powerful though, most likely an alpha," Deaton explain. I studied his face and then saw the shocked expression when he managed to put together the pieces I put down. 

"Okay, what do you think the cure could be then Isaac?" Asked Scott innocently, obliviously not being smart enough to work it out yet. Of course, it is one of the reasons why I love the dumbass. Despite this, I slapped myself in the face.

"Scott, I think Stiles and Derek are mates," I explain as calmly as I possibly could, wandering how he would take his best friend and his previous alpha being in love with each other.

Thank you guys so much for reading. You literally have no idea how much it means to me. Thanks for 68 reads as well. I had this chapter ready two days ago but I also got sims 4 so that is why I haven't really updated much. Sorry about that. The next chapter might have something to do with mates so be sure to check that out when it is uploaded. Thank you. Bye...
