Chapter 3: Bites All Around:

Quick Note: At this point Isaac's dad is still alive but since being turned Isaac has been staying with Derek and avoiding his dad. With his supernatural abilities, he has been able to avoid his father when he has to sneak back to his place.

I also acknowledge the fact that there were quite a few spelling errors in previous chapters especially with the Kanima, which I was spelling Kanmia. I will now be using the correct spelling.

Previously:

"Derek, I know that this might not be the best time considering the threat to the town and Gerard Argent being in town, but there is something I need to ask you," Will said and Derek nodded for him to continue. "Derek, I want to take the bite and become a full member of this pack." Derek was shocked and before he could say anything the front door slammed shut. Stiles appeared in the entrance to the kitchen with a terrified expression on his face.

"WHAT?!"

Now:

All of the pack and William looked at Stiles whose terrified gaze was glued to his father sitting at the table. Erika, Boyd, and Isaac not wanting to get caught up in this drama bomb quietly slipped out of the kitchen and into the living room. Derek was a bit overwhelmed by the panic that was coming through his bond with Stiles, but William was looking at his son with a sad look on his face.

"Stiles," Will started to say.

"No dad, don't try to gloss over this and calm me down. I want several valid reasons for you wanting something like this. No offense Derek, I know the bite is a gift and that you treat it like such but my dad needs to explain himself to me." Stiles said in a panic stricken tone that left no room for any argument.

"Okay son, I asked for the bite for some very valid reasons. First, I want and need to be more involved in your life. I feel that over the years since we lost your mom, we have held together but once the supernatural descended we have been drifting. Being part of the pack would help us stay connected. Yes I know how childish it sounds. Secondly, as a wolf I would not be at any human health risks ever again and I will be able to heal better than I do now. That is one less stress for you. Yes hunters are a risk but with me being part of the pack I can make sure that they can't buy their way past us and out of trouble. Stiles just consider it." Will explained.

"Those are all valid points dad, but what you failed to consider is that you have supernatural in your blood. Even if you don't have access to it, you have dormant magic. If the bite takes there are three possible outcomes for you. One you could just end up as a werewolf; two your dormant magic could be awakened and you would just become a wizard with the same human healing and immune system; three you could become a hybrid werewolf with wizard magic. I am not comfortable with the possible unknowns." Stiles ranted.

"Stiles, while I have faith that the bite would take with your dad, why did you not tell him what could happen if the bite is rejected?" Derek asked which caused both of the Stilinski men to scoff.

"Derek, the Stilinski family has a long history with other supernatural specifically werewolves and Fae. Generations ago, we created a spell with the help of the Fae, that when cast can insure that the changing bite will take without rejection. Stiles could also super charge or completely will the bite to take even without the spell. I would never be in any danger of not changing with the bite." Will explained. Stiles had been quiet through his father's explanation with a contemplative frown on his face. Derek was just in awe because if his family had allied with the Stilinski family earlier, than maybe certain people could have been spared death.

"Fine dad, I won't fight your decision to take the bite and I will make sure that it takes without any issues. However, if Derek agrees with me I have some conditions for letting this go through." Stiles said looking to Derek to gauge his reaction. Will was relieved that Stiles was allowing his choice but he was on guard a moment later because despite the limited interaction with his nana and other cousins Stiles was trickster to his very core. One does not naively make a deal with a trickster without looking for every loophole. Derek got over his surprise about the spell and looked at Stiles carefully. He subtly examined his bond with Stiles which was as strong as last night but was still not settled. Mab had explained that until Stiles' Kitsune element became fully defined then the bond would be unsettled and clouded about his position within the pack. The bond was telling him that Stiles was concerned, apprehensive, and scared but was also going to be completely truthful; therefore Derek nodded for Stiles to continue with what he wanted to say. "The first condition that I have is that we need to bring a few people that can be trusted and can help the pack in on the secret of supernatural. We have too much happening around town to be doing everything by ourselves, and with more connections in the community we can protect ourselves better. I can insure that they will never betray us with a few enchantments, so we just need to pick the people carefully. We will need at least three deputies from the sheriff's department, two emergency room doctors and nurses, at least one lawyer maybe two, a computer hacker, and I think that an accountant would be useful. The second condition that will take care of one of the people we need is to bring in Danny Mahelani into the pack." Stiles said but everyone heard Isaac whimper in the other room at Danny's name. The beta slowly poked his head into the room and looked at Derek with a mix of fear and hope in his eyes. Derek ushered Isaac and the rest of the betas into the room for the rest of Stiles' terms.

"As I was saying, we should bring Danny in because he is a brilliant hacker and he also will act as a connection to Lydia and Jackson who are the number one suspects to the Kanima. Most importantly though is that he is Isaac's mate which I can only sense because of the pack bonds and Isaac's lit up at the mention of his name just like Erika and Boyd's' do when the other is mentioned." The betas all blushed at that and Stiles smiled warmly at them before continuing. "The third and last condition that I have is that we bring in Heather Storm (this is the same Heather that the Darach made use of in actual cannon). Not only is she Erika's best friend, her parents also hold two of the positions that we need connections too. Heather's mom is a respected accountant in town and her dad is the lawyer that works closely with the sheriff's department. Are there any objections to this plan?" Stiles said and the group was quiet each thinking the idea through. The betas seemed to be pleased by the plan especially Isaac and Erika for obvious reasons. The sheriff was contemplative going through his head on the possible people that they could recruit if Derek approved of the plan. He was sure of whom he would pick from the sheriff's department and Melissa McCall would definitely be the obvious choice for the nurse. She could also recommend any of the other hospital staff that she would trust. Derek had a frown on his face as he thought it over. His mother's pack had all worked in the community so they had not needed connect to anyone outside of the pack for the type of protection that Stiles was suggesting. Derek liked the idea and with Stiles' insurance of enchanting the connections to not betray them was comforting. He could not think of any negatives to including the teens especially if one of them was one of his beta's mates.

Derek relaxed his frown and looked at his pack. He was pleased to see that they were all waiting for his final say on the matter, even though it must be killing both of the Stilinski men. Derek was filled with a sense of warmth that despite the imminent dangers facing his pack that they were looking to him for strength.

"I agree with your plan Stiles. We do need more connections to the community and the enchantments will insure everyone's safety. Will, I will leave the decisions of the deputies that we read in up to you along with the medical personal since you work more closely to them. We will read them in over the weekend. As for the accountant and lawyer we will bring them in after we bring in Heather and Danny. Isaac Erika, I want the two of you to talk to those two and bring them with you to the Stilinski house tomorrow after school if you don't mind sheriff. Stiles can you get me the allegiance and the spell for the changing bite effectiveness by tomorrow? That way I can give your dad the bite as well as Danny and Heather if they want it tomorrow." Derek said. The betas and the Sheriff nodded in agreement while stiles just smirked.

"The spell for the bite can either be done one of two ways either by ingestion of a potion or incantation. The incantation is more efficient but combined increases the bite's effectiveness up to 97% rather than the 90% from one or the other. The deputies will need more proof than just our word or you shifting. Dad needs to show them that they can trust him as a wolf so he needs to show that he has control before we bring them in. Dad has two shifts before the weekend ends, I say that we use those two shifts for dad to get used to being a wolf, wizard, or hybrid before we bring talk to the deputies. Derek if you want to I would say dad gets the bite now. I will cast the spell as soon as you give the word; with dad's dormant magic he does not need the potion." Stiles stated calmly. Derek nodded in confirmation and asked Will if it was alright for the pack to stay the night at the Stilinski residence. The sheriff agreed and directed the teens to grab the spare bedding for a campout in the living room along with calling their respective parents (except Isaac). While the betas were busy with the set up Derek gave Stiles the heads up to cast the spell on his dad. Stiles spoke a few sentences in old Polish and both Derek and Will seemed to glow in a faint gold aura. Derek shifted into his wolf form and took Will's arm carefully. He drew back Will's left arm sleeve and quickly bit down deeply on the man's forearm. Will inhaled sharply but did not move as Derek was still clamped down on his arm. A minute later Derek released Wills arm and shifted back as the glow faded from both men. Will took a few deep breaths his eyes closed head bowed forward on his chest. When Will opened his eyes both Derek and Stiles were a little shocked as the sheriff's eyes were a brilliant glowing emerald green. Derek could feel through his new bond with the sheriff that he was at least a werewolf, but he had never seen that eye color on a wolf before. Stiles was taken aback by the powerful rush of magic that he felt emanate from his father because that made it clear that the bite had created a werewolf wizard hybrid.

When Derek got over his shock he looked at the new wolf and Stiles since the teen was looking rather smug. "Stiles I can tell that you dad is now a wolf but why are his eyes green? I have never heard of or seen wolf eyes like that." Derek questioned.

"Well Der, you know what the original three colors of wolf eyes mean and represent but my guess is that when you were a kid you never saw your grandparent's eyes shift. Green eyes on a werewolf signify that the wolf is an elder or gamma. They are typically as strong as betas but not as fast due to their age. Since my dad is older than anyone else in the pack, the supernatural world defined him as an elder. Also once you get over your shock you will more than likely smell the magic now active in him." Stiles said proudly and Will smiled at his son and let his eyes change back to their original color. The two Stilinski men led their gob smacked alpha into the living room where the betas were engaged in a puppy pile on the floor. The three men joined them and the pack spent the rest of the night letting the pack bonds settle while watching the original Star Wars Trilogy.

Next Day: Friday

It was an interesting start to the day at the Stilinski home. Isaac, Erika, Boyd, and Derek were treated to a traditional Stiles cooked breakfast of French toast an omelets. All four wolves were adamant that they will have to beg Stiles to cook for them more often. Will was happy that now that he was a wolf his son was going to be less restrictive with his diet. He still got a salad packed for his lunch but he was given the promise of a steak for dinner soon. The teens went to school and the adults went to work, the sheriff to the station and Derek to a small café where he spends most of his day designing personalized furniture and construction projects (Derek has his own company that does mostly online orders).

At school, the day was proceeding in a pretty normal fashion with a few exceptions. Scott had pretty much ignored Stiles' existence in favor of Allison, but Stiles did not mind he was having a good day especially when he was watching what he had dubbed "The Puppy Chronicle" of Isaac and Danny. The hacker seemed to be both interested and a little unnerved with the adorable blond teen. Danny was not rejecting Isaac but he seemed a little uncomfortable with how contact craving that Isaac displayed. Stiles and the other betas were just enjoying the show and it would have been a great day if chemistry class had not happened. Stiles was running late after a tense conversation with Scott about why he was hanging around with the Hale pack and Mr. Harris just had to dig at Stiles.

"Stilinski, I see that you took you sweet time. Since you can't be on time for class maybe you will be on time for detention." Mr. Harris said scathingly as Stiles walked into the room just as the bell rang. Had Mr. Harris said this to Stiles before his supernatural puberty, Stiles would have just played the good boy and just agreed to the detention; however, his Kitsune and Fae instincts were now weighing in on his thoughts and Stiles was not in any way shape or form happy. Stiles got up close and into Harris's personal space and spoke so quietly that only the supernatural students in class could hear him (Isaac, Scott, and Erika).

"Really, I got here just as the bell rang and was therefore not late. You know that it is against the school code for you to be treating me like this. If you are trying to get revenge for my dad doing his job and pulling you in for questioning then you are being a right bitch who is just waiting to be slapped with a harassment suit. Although that is not really a surprise considering you taught a sociopathic murderer how to make Molotov cocktails that killed an innocent family with children. I wonder how the California State Board of Education would take that information. I bet that the moment that they got wind of that little fact you would find yourself without a job real quick. So back off me or I let that tidbit of information lose to every single state board of education in the US." Stiles snarled in the teachers face, which went extremely pale as he fearfully nodded. Stiles stalked over to his desk that he happened to be sharing with Danny and Isaac and sat down. Isaac leaned over and nuzzled Stiles' neck while Danny looked at him confused.

"What did you just do to Mr. Harris?" Danny asked. Both Isaac and Stiles just smirked at Danny.

"Well Danny boy, I was tired of being Harris's verbal target, so I told him that unless he starts behaving properly I will let some information that I have on him out to every state in the US boards of education." Stiles said with a vicious smile, which unnerved Danny. He had never thought that Stiles could be so manipulative but a couple months ago when he himself had been on the other side of Stiles manipulation, Danny was never going to underestimate the other again.

"So Danny are you joining us after school today? I promised the others that I would be bringing some of my mother's famous Shepard's pie and brownies." Stiles asked with a kinder and more relaxed tone. Danny had been considering the invitation since Isaac asked him earlier in the day, but now with the combined offer of delicious food (Danny had eaten Stiles' home cooking before) and Isaac's illegally adorable puppy eyes Danny could not resist.

"Yes I will be joining you guys. Just please stop with the cute puppy eyes and food bribery. I give up." Danny moaned shaking his head at the accomplished smiles on the faces of his two lab partners.

After that, the rest of the school day proceeded without much else happening. Heather seemed as confused as Danny about being surrounded by the pack but seemed content on waiting for answers after school. When school let out all of the betas along with Danny and Heather piled into Stiles' jeep and Stiles drove the group over to his place after stopping at the grocery store for dinner supplies and potion ingredients. While Stiles cooked and prepared the potion, the betas kept the other teens occupied.

Dinner Time:

Derek and Will pulled into the drive way of the Stilinski at the same time, both men looking a little worn out. They looked at each other with questioning gazes. Will never being one to beat around the bush broke the silence.

"Why do you look like you have been run through the ringer Derek?" The sheriff asked. Derek attempted to stand up a little straighter but he gave up after a moments worth of trying.

"I was dealing with demanding clients on top of pack bonds being all over the place today. Your control is unshakable, but seeing that you raised Stiles and your profession that is not surprising. The betas emotions were all over today and I felt all of them while I was searching out for the bonds that belong to Jackson and Lydia since betas mentioned that both of them are still alive. I think I found faint traces of their bonds but something is masking them. It took a lot out of me. Why are you so tired?" Derek inquired.

"I was busy with cases all day along with going through which of the deputies and emergency responders staff that we could trust. I also had to complete the physical fitness exam for the department today and it was difficult not to show off." Will explained as the two men walked to the door. When they entered the house, they were welcomed by the smell of Shepard's pie being pulled from the oven. They walked into the kitchen to see the most interesting sight of the day. All of the teens minus Stiles were staring wide eyed at the food being pulled out of the oven like it was some divine revelation. Danny and Heather were surrounded by the betas, Isaac cuddled into Danny's side and Heather wedged between Erika and Boyd. The two human teens were drinking some strange green herbal looking substance. Derek looked at Will for an explanation, but the sheriff just shook his head motioning for them to join the teens.

"Well now that we are all here we can eat and then talk. Boyd, Isaac get the silverware and Erika grab drinks." Stiles ordered and the betas moved quickly to obey. The crew sat down for a delicious meal filled with very little conversation. When the food was gone Derek felt it was time to broach the subject.

"Danny Heather, I am not sure how much you have been told and I am sure that you have a lot of questions. Do want me to start with anything in particular?" Derek asked. The two teens looked at each other and then at Derek and the pack.

"Stiles Isaac and Erika filled us in on pretty much everything that is going on around town and how we are involved. Heather is a known friend of Erika's and I am best friends with Lydia and Jackson who are somehow mixed up in this. What I want to know is how can we help and protect ourselves? Also an explanation as to why Isaac is so attached to me would be nice. It is not that I don't like it, it is just a little unsettling since a few weeks ago Isaac rarely let anyone touch him." Danny said to which Heater nodded in agreement. She wanted answers but knew that even though Erika had changed she would never hurt her.

"Did they explain about the fact the supernatural exists and that Isaac Erika Boyd I and the sheriff are werewolves?" Derek inquired and seeing the teens nod in confirmation he continued. "There are a great many ways that the two of you can help us as you both have connections to the community and your own talents. Danny is the best hacker in town and Heather has been the top volunteer at the school for years making her a part of the community. I and the rest of the pack want you two to join us because of your skills and to also protect you since you two could easily become targets because of your talents. Heather we are also looking to recruit your parents to help the pack so having you part of the pack would make connecting to them easier. As for protecting you, I and the rest of the pack think that offering you the chance to become werewolves would be able to protect you. Does that help?"

"It does and I appreciate the honesty. I know that I would not mind being a werewolf and it would allow me to connect with Erika now that she is cured of her epilepsy. Although you didn't answer Danny's question about Isaac though, and I will admit to being curious about that." Heather said with a relaxed smile on her face. Derek seemed a little uncomfortable in broaching the subject, while both of the Stilinski men were not bothering to hide the slightly evil smiles on their faces. Isaac smiled and unapologetically snuggled more into Danny making the Hawaiian teen blush.

"What Derek in his glorious alphadom is struggling to explain is that Isaac and Danny are mates. Werewolves in a similar fashion to normal wolves are monogamous creatures and mate with their true mate based on instinct. Danny if you take the bite and become a werewolf you will instantly feel the connection to Isaac. A good example of mates is Erika and Boyd here." Stiles explained with an evil grin on his face as Heather blushed along with Danny and Derek. There was silence for a few minutes before both teen told Derek that they wanted the bite and were willing to take it now. Will offered to call Danny and Heather's parents and let them know that the teens were staying over for the night. While that was being done, Erika and Boyd called their own families before going to set up the living room for another pack sleep over. Danny and Isaac cleared and did the dishes while Derek pulled Stiles out into the hallway and pressed him up against the wall.

"Stile while I appreciate you explaining the subject of mates to them. Next time do not undermine me do you understand?" Derek growled out in frustration. Stiles smiled gently and reached up and rubbed the side of Derek's face with his hand. It was slightly out of place considering their previous interactions but Stiles felt that it would help.

"I know Derek. I won't do that again. We needed to move things along a little faster so I decided to move them along. Relax now I think that you have two new betas that are ready for the bite. I already had them drink the potion and when you are ready I will cast the spell. Shall we go?" Stiles said. Derek backed up and let Stiles off the wall. They walked to the living room where the rest had gathered. Danny and Heather had removed their shirts and were standing in the middle of the room waiting for them and the rest of the pack sitting around them. Derek nodded to Stiles to begin the spell and moments later the three of them were glowing gold. Derek started with Heather and as gently as he could bit her right above her right hip. After he was satisfied with her bite, Derek Danny over his left hip which made the teen gasp a little. When he was satisfied with the bite, Derek took a step back and the glow faded from all three of them. Danny and Heather both opened their eyes at the same time sporting gold eyes. Erika didn't wait and pulled Heather down into a hug and scent. Danny meanwhile sniffed the air and the next moment was smothering Isaac in a very enthusiastic hug and the blond seemed to relish the contact. Stile just smiled before turning on the movie that the teens had chosen to watch before going to the kitchen and bringing in the brownies. The pack settled into another quiet domestic night unaware that evil was plotting chaos across town.
