Book 3: My Unpredictable Romance with Derek Hale (Teen Wolf Fan Fic)

Derek: Never Ending Problems

(Previously: Derek checked on Jackson who's body is rejecting the bite, as Derek ran into Kristin before they made out in the closet beforr being interrupted by Michelle.)

Lydia is still missing and I'm busy tracking the Omega that dug up the dead body in the cemetery. It's dark in the woods and I use my senses to pin point the Omega's position. I need to know why he is in my town before I decide what to do with him. He could be here to join my pack but I've already got my next couple of members lined up and who knows, maybe even Scott will grow a brain and decide to join me. It's the smart thing to do since omega's never last long on their own between other packs and hunters. Plus they're at the very bottom of the wolf hierarchy and sometimes it's the worst place to be.
Twigs snap to the east as insects continue to buzz and chrip and the wind howls. Even though it's a chilly night I can't feel the cold mainly because of being a werewolf, but my leather jacket also helps and as I listen closely I realise the Omega isn't alone. Scott is chasing after him and telling the Omega to stop and wait.
What the hell Scott?! I hiss silently as I begin to sprint to their location, using my sense of hearing. I arrive just in time to see the Omega activate a hunter's trap. His hands are caught in the rope as he dangles in the air above the ground and below the thick tree branch. Crap . . . I can hear the hunters, it's too late for him.
Without hesitating I grab Scott's shoulders and fling him away before I drag him behind a tree out of view. Of course Scott is trying to fight me and get free to help the Omega but there's nothing we can do.
The hunters have him now.
"What are you doing? I can help him," Scott continues to struggle against me.
"They're already here," I reply while keeping my grip tight around Scott. He would be able to hear them if he wasn't completely focused on the Omega.
"I can help him."
"Quiet!" I demand. We can't get caught. Not when my instincts are screaming at me, warning me that the hunters are about to throw out the rule book.
The seven hunters emerge from the shadows and surround the Omega as his legs thrash in the air. He's wasting his energy. They aren't going to let him go. It's not going to matter if he's innocent or guilty. Part of me hopes my gut instinct is wrong but I don't think it is. At least Scott isn't fighting me anymore but that's because of the tazer in Chris's hand, and as expected the Omega yelps in pain when it comes into contact with his torso.
His screams echo around us and I'm immediately reminded of the multiple times I was tazered and shocked by Kate before Peter basically slit her throat open with his claws. Kate. . . that's why the hunters are breaking their code.
"Who are you? Chris questions although the Omega doesn't answer, "What are you doing here?"
"Nothing . . . Nothing I swear," He answers Chris and I make sure to keep my grip tight just in case Scott decides to play hero which will end up with him dead along with the Omega.
"You're not from here are you? ARE YOU?" Chris yells.
"No, No I came looking for the Alpha. I heard he was here that's all. Look I didn't do anything. I didn't hurt anyone. No one living, he wasn't alive in the ambulance. He wasn't I swear," He replies. Well I guess I got my answer.
It was only an hour ago when I heard about the man in the ambulance that was on his way to the hospital when the Omega ripped open the back doors and attacked, there was blood everywhere apparently.
Gerard steps forward and stands beside Chris, "Gentlemen, take a look at a rare sight. You wanna tell them what we've caught?" He spares a few glances at the other hunters, and I only just realise Kristin's father Brian and brother Alex are part of the group. Most werewolves know about the Argent's- especially Gerard.
I like to know who to avoid as much as possible.
"An Omega," Chris replies.
"The lone wolf possibly kicked out of his own pack, or the survivor of a pack that was hunted down- maybe even murdered, and possibly alone by his own choice. Certainty not a wise choice," Gerard says before he takes a few steps back and grabs a silver sword from its sheath which is resting on a large rock nearby.
I hate it when I'm right.
They are going to come for us next. We should attack now while they are least expecting it. My wolf is just angry as I am.
I can't risk that. Not yet. I have to be smart.
Gerard makes his way back to the Omega and I know exactly what is going to happen next poor bastard.
"Because as I'm about to demonstrate; an Omega rarely survives on his own," Gerard finishes before he draws the sword back and strikes forward, cutting the Omega in half from the waist down.
There's a sickening sound as his legs hit the ground along with his intestines and other internal organs.
Scott immediately begins to struggle against me but I don't let go, "Look, look . . . Look at them! You see what they do! This is why you need me. Why we need each other. The only way to fight them is together,"
When you're a werewolf and an Alpha you have many enemies. I had the hunters near the top of my list along with other beta's wanting power, and packs wanting an Alpha. Now the hunters are at the top of my list again, and I need to deal with them ASAP.
"What are they doing?" Scott asks and I can hear the panic in his voice.
"Declaring war," I reply.
War isn't how I want my leadership to begin but I don't have a choice. I'm not going to let them win. I can't.
"We have a code," Chris objects.
"We didn't have any proof that he killed a living human," Brian adds.
"They murdered my daughter," Gerard replies before he plunges his sword into the moist dirt, "No code. Not anymore. From now on these things are just bodies waiting to be cut in half. Are you listening? Because I don't care if they're wounded or weak, or seemingly harmless, begging for their life with the promise that they will never ever hurt anyone, or some desperate lost soul with no idea what they're getting into. We find them and we kill them. We kill them ALL," Gerard declares.
"About time," I hear Alex snicker in response.
I guess he isn't going to be happy about me and Kristin. I can't help but smirk in response as I begin to drag Scott away quietly.
If it's a war Gerard want's then that is exactly what he is going to get.
"What the hell!" Scott exclaims after I let go of him and he stumbles for a few steps before he stands straight.
"That's just a taste of what they are capable of," I warn Scott who starts fumbling behind me.
"This is crazy."
"It's only the beginning. You need to keep your distance from ALL of the Argents'."
"What are you talking about?" Scott plays dumb.
"I'm talking about you and Allison."
"We broke up."
Yeah and werewolves can fly. I hold in the snicker.
"No you didn't."
Scott sighs, "Whatever, I'm not going to just ditch Allison," Scott replies and I stop walking immediately and face him. Scott barely stops himself from colliding into me.
"What?!" I can't help but raise my voice slightly.
Did Scott not just see Gerard cut the Omega in half?
Gerard won't hesitate to do the same to Scott if he finds out what Scott is.
God damn moron!!!
Yeah right because you're going to keep your distance from Kristin right? My inner wolf snickers.
Kristin's not an Argent.
She may as well be. Her father and brother are on Gerard's hunting team. Kristin is going to get us killed.
No she isn't. If anything I'm the one that's going to get Kristin killed, although I won't let that happen.
Kristin was one of them.
Exactly- she was one of them.
You're a god damn moron.
Shut the hell up.
"I can't," Scott replies.
"Is Allison worth your life?" I ask.
Is Kristin worth yours?
I told you it's not going to come to that.
"I love Allison."
"Well you should probably give your mother a heads up and let her know the type of coffin you want to be buried in," I snap.
"Why do you do that?" Scott asks frustrated.
"Do what?" I reply. I can hear the hunters leaving and heading in the opposite direction, and I hold in the sigh of relief. If I really wanted to I'm sure I could take them, but I need more power first.
"Act like you don't understand when I know you do."
"What are you-"
"I'm talking about Kristin. I know you love her."
Oh god not this again. I hold in the eye roll.
"Kristin isn't an Argent."
"But her father is a hunter," Scott points out.
"I'm not talking about Kristin with you, now move it. We need to get out of here," I cross my arms over my chest and wait for Scott to walk around me. Scott sighs before he follows my order and I walk behind him staying on high alert just in case.
I'm going to win. I can't let the Argents continue massacring my kind- I won't.
We won't. My wolf agrees.
I just hope Kristin will forgive me. I don't want to hurt the people she loves but Chris, her father and Alex might not leave me a choice.
Do you honestly think Kristin is going to wait around for you?
Yes and no. I want Kristin but I don't deserve her. I'll never be good enough.
You sound like a girl.
And you sound like a douche bag. I keep our argument silent as Scott and I continue walking through the dark forest.
I can't waste anymore time, not if I want to win.
