Stiles pulled up to the house telling Boyd to put Hunter in the basement. Lydia hopped up, "Wait Hunter as in Winter's little brother Hunter?" Stiles nodded his head going to take a seat in the living room. "I need to sleep for a bit but if he wakes up before me, wake me up." They nodded and went back to what they were doing.

"SHIT it feels like I have a hangover and I haven't even been drinking." Stiles exclaimed upon waking up. "Elly could you please come here?" Eliza bound into the livingroom all smug. "Help me out here, I can't use my magic." Elly stayed quiet. Oh my god is she seriously about to make me beg in my condition. "Eliza please I can not right now, not like this."

"Sorry bro I didn't mean to push like that." Elly says apologetically, holding her hand on Stiles' forehead and her hand began to glow. Stiles took a breath of relief. "Thank you I owe you one. Is Hunter up yet?" Eliza shook her head no. "And is everyone else okay? How long was I sleep?" He tried to stand but was instantly in pain. Eliza pushed him back in his seat.

"Stiles take it easy, you used a lot of magic and lost a lot of blood helping Hunter. Maybe more than you realized at first. You weren't out for long maybe two and a half hours. Everyone, as far as I know, are fine. Stiles *She put up a silencer bubble around them* You know this isn't good for you. You can't keep pushing your magic like this, it's hurting you. The others told me you fainted the night you guys saved Derek."

Stiles was quiet. "Eliza ..... You have to understand that I only do it if absolutely necessary and only for my pack. If I know they have injuries that will potentially kill them if they wait to heal on their own that's when I step in. Hunter would have bled out if I didn't do it then. I promise I'll lay off for a while. I need someone to check on Hunter, but not you. If he smells magic he'll freak and hurt you. As a matter of fact have Derek go."

Eliza looked confused and scared for Derek's sake. Hunter looked ready to chew all our heads off at the school. "Trust me, I know what I'm getting him into. He is the least threatening because he wasn't at the school when Hunter was about to attack you guys. Hunter wouldn't feel like Derek was holding a grudge or wanting to get back at him. Not that anyone else is. Maybe Jax but he'll get over himself eventually."

Eliza seemed to come around to the idea. "I need you to tell them that this is an Alpha order and no one is to argue the decision E S P E C I A L L Y Scott. I need to sleep some more so I don't look like I was just hit by a highway full of buses."

Eliza laughed and dissipated the bubble letting her twin go back to sleep bracing herself for the uproar that will come with this alpha order.She walked upstairs to Danny's room stopping at the door. She hesitated before she knocked. Ethan got a little tense but it faded away when Danny put his hand on Ethan's shoulder and whispering calm down. Danny was the one to invite her in.

"I didn't mean to bother you guys." She said small but continued when Danny shook his head no. "Um ......... Ethan do you mind putting my brother in his room? I would do it but I'm still learning the levitation spell. And I need everyone in the kitchen, so I can give Stiles' orders all at once." The three boys in the room nodded everyone heading to the door.

Ethan was quick about moving his alpha, trying not to wake him. He didn't want to be in even more trouble. Stiles still haven't given the twins their punishments yet. When Elly was sure everyone was there she started. "So I'm going to lead with this. This is an alpha order and no one is to argue it. Derek is going to check on Hunter since he would be the least threatening. I'm just the messenger." She held her arms up in defense.

Everyone seemed to understand why Derek was going with the explanation. Everyone started to leave the kitchen unbelievably content with the orders. It's probably because of the no arguing part of the order, Eliza thought also leaving. Derek bent over the island, he felt like he was going to vomit, twice.

Ally was the one to notice something wrong with Derek. As she limped over to him, "Derek why does it look like you're not breathing? What's wrong? Look at me. *She lifted his head so he was eye level* You have to calm down. Try to match my breathing." Derek closed his eyes and focused on Allison's breathing, slow and steady. Derek slowly started to regain control of his lungs.

"There we go, nice and easy. Take deep breaths just like that. Why were you freaking out so much?" Derek stood up a little straighter but decided to resign to a chair. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare anyone i'm just not use too much of anything ......." Derek looked down at his hands.

"Hey, hey, hey none of that now. *She lifted his chin again* This isn't your old pack, you won't be reprimanded for speaking up. There is not judging or shaming in this pack. Now finish what you were going to say." He gave her a small smile, "Understood. I'm not used to being paid attention to. So it's new and scary when Stiles gives me things like this to do. And I guess I just freaked."

He offered wanting to show that the advice did not go unheard. Ally returned the smile, telling him he'll be fine and that he should talk to Sty about it. Derek made his to the basement after his pep talk with Ally. He got to the last step freezing when he saw Hunter sitting up on the couch. "I didn't mean to hurt anyone I swear. I was scared and didn't know what to do." Hunter gave sounding like he was on the brink of tears.

Right then Derek remembered the day they saved him. Derek made his way in front of Hunter. "You didn't hurt anyone so their is no need for the tears. You feeling better?" Hunter gives a shy nod wiping the tears from his face. "Does it still hurt?" Derek asked gesturing Hunter's stomach and shoulder. Hunter nodded stiffly. "Do you mind?" Derek asked getting up. Hunter got stiff but nodded anyway.

Derek slid a slow hand up to Hunter's arm. He started to pull pain when he reached the shoulder. Hunter breathed in relief, saying a breathy thank you. "I know it's inconvenient but I have to ask some questions for my alpha. Why were you at the school?" Derek sat back down looking at Hunter. "Two reasons really, I was looking for my sister she was suppose to be at the game and because I was kicked out."

"I know it's personal but why?" Derek asked curiously. "Don't worry I don't mind. My dad walked in on me and my boyfriend making out. We were studying but one thing led to another and are books ended up on the floor. My parents thought both their kids are straight. Little did they know that I am gay and Winter is bi." Hunter laughed sadly. "Sorry I didn't mean to bring up bad memories. I'll ask my alpha if you can stay here. I'm sure he won't mind."

A few questions later and Derek is back in the den exhausted. He followed suit and went to sleep like the others. Stiles blinked his eyes open looking at his clock: 2:18 A.M. He pushed himself up out the bed. Leaving his room deciding to check on the others. Once he finished upstairs he went to the kitchen. He froze when he saw Derek sleep on the couch. I thought he went to the house with Elly, Sty thought. "*Whispering* Derek, Derek, Derek." Stiles shook his lightly.

Derek woke up swinging his claws in fear catching something.
