Mama Hale

1.24.24

-Recap-

He moves to attack the girl, but Scott reveals himself to her left, growling at the alpha. Derek growls and walks out to the right and Peter looks at him, unamused. I step out in front of Allison and she hides behind me.

"Run." Scott demands of Allison and she sprints out of the house.

(Lyrica's P.O.V.)

As soon as she's gone, Derek and Scott both leap at Peter but he catches them by the throats and spins, throwing them into the walls. I charge forward and get a swipe across his chest before he picks me up and throws me into the ceiling. He flips me and slams me into an old bookshelf. Scott runs up behind him and grabs his shoulders, but Peter spins and lifts the teen, flipping him over and slamming him to the ground. Derek runs up and flips off Peter's chest, knocking him back a few steps. The alpha quickly regains his composure and hits Derek twice across the face, knocking him to the ground. Once he's down, Peter slams his fists onto his back, fully knocking him down. Scott and I get up but Peter throws Derek into us, knocking us back down. This continues for a while. Us betas all going after Peter but getting thrown down each time. When he finally has all 3 of us down, he shifts. Peter throws Scott out a window and runs after him. As soon as he's out, I get up and stumble to Derek.

"Are you still doing this?" I ask, pulling him to his feet.

"Yeah." He pants.

"Not until he's down and in human form." I say.

"I know."

When I hear tires screech, a horn sound, and a door slam, I spin on my heel and run out the front door. My heart seems to stop when I recognize Stiles' scent coming from the car. I watch in astonishment and terror as Stiles runs forward and throws a flask full of liquid at the alpha.

"Oh damn." Stiles pants as Peter catches the flask and snarls at him.

"Allison!" Scott shouts, throwing her bow to her.

She catches and loads it in seconds, shooting an arrow at the glass flask. The flask explodes, engulfing Peter's whole arm in fire. Jackson throws another flask, hitting him dead in the chest. The alpha's whole body is engulfed in flames. He turns and tries to attack Allison but Scott runs up and kicks him, turning him towards the forest. Peter only makes it a few steps before the fire dies out and he shifts back to normal, falling to the ground. Derek and I walk up to where Peter is laid on the ground, gasping for air. Derek crouches down over his uncle and Scott runs towards us.

"Wait!" He shouts. "You said the cure comes from the one who bit you. Derek. If you do this, I'm dead. Her father, her family- What am I supposed to do?"

"You've... already... decided." Peter gasps for air. "I can smell it on you!"

"Wait, no, no, don't!" Scott shouts to no avail as Derek slashes Peter's throat.

Peter chokes on his own blood for a moment until his eyes stop glowing. Derek slowly stands up and turns to face us, his eyes glowing a bright crimson.

"I'm the alpha now."

-------------------------------------------------

One by one, everyone leaves, starting with the Argents. Scott leaves not long after them, sprinting off into the woods. I walk up to Derek and kiss him, having waited way too long to. We part when someone clears their throat behind us. I turn around to see Stiles standing in front of Jackson's Porsche while Jackson sits in the front seat. I march up to Stiles and hit him on the back of the head.

"Hey! What was that-" I cut him off by pulling him into a bone crushing hug, burying my face in his shoulder.

"Don't ever fucking do that again." I sniffle. "You scared the shit out of me."

I hear him chuckle before he wraps his arms around me, hugging me almost as tight as I'm hugging him.

"I can't make any promises." He says. "But I'm sorry for scaring you."

"You better be." I say, pulling back and wiping my eyes.

"Aw, don't cry Sis." He teases and I laugh.

"Shut up. Or I'll beat your ass." I flash my purple eyes at him.

"What the fuck?! Why are they purple?!" He shouts and I hear Derek chuckle.

"It's a secret." I giggle. "But I've got to get back to Isaac. Be safe and text me when you get home."

"I will, Lyrica."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I hear shuffling upstairs as I unlock the front door and Derek and I quietly enter the house.

"Mom?" Isaac sleepily asks, coming halfway down the stairs while rubbing his eyes. "Where were you for so long?"

"I had to do something." I giggle at how adorable he is.

"What?" He asks, not noticing Derek beside me.

"I had to get something." I say, trying to hold my laughter.

"What did you have to get?"

"Me." Derek says and Isaac's eyes widen, finally noticing Derek beside me.

"Der?" He asks, repeatedly blinking. "Am I dreaming?"

"No, Isaac." I laugh.

"Derek!" Isaac exclaims, running down the rest of the stairs. "Dad!"

I laugh at the surprise on Derek's face as he catches the teen who throws himself at him. Derek hugs Isaac and the boy cries on Derek's shoulder. I smile fondly at them as Isaac tries to calm himself. When he's calm, Isaac pulls away and looks at both of us.

"How did you find him?" He asks me.

"After what you said, I got my phone and keys, locked you in the house, and went out to find him." I shrug. "It wasn't easy, and we got hurt, but Scott and I saved Derek. And Kate Argent and the alpha are dead."

"So the alpha's dead? Just like that? Now who's the alpha?" Isaac asks.

"Me." Derek grins, flashing his eyes.

"Cool." Isaac gasps.

"Wait." Derek says, turning to face me. "What did Isaac say that made you come look for me?"

"I told her how happy I am to have you as my father." He says. "I was so scared to even talk to you when I first met you, but when I got to know you, you were so nice and caring and protective. I never knew what a dad should be like, but I realized that he should be exactly like you. I was so scared and sad when you went missing and I realized that I'd never called you 'Dad'. I was scared to, because I didn't know how you would react."

"Isaac, you can call me 'Dad'." Derek chuckles. "I have nothing against it."

"Thanks." He says before yawning.

"We should be getting to sleep." I say with a smile.

"Yeah. Goodnight Mom. Goodnight Dad." He says, walking up the stairs.
