Chapter 41; Alpha Hale

* Give it all until you reach the top.*

--- Dreams

" Khaleesi." A voice called softly from behind the curtains of my balcony. My eyes trailed up from the book I was working on, the doors slid open and in waltzed Peter his eyes a hazel like gold. Eyeing me as he came closer, watching me as I studied him. Every twitch of a muscle,movement or tilt followed by his eyes as if I was the most interesting subject in the room.

"..... You're the Alpha side of Peter?" I ask. He gave a short nod,still moving.

"Alpha Hale." He answers his voice carrying a slight accent,I furrowed my brows, who gave the Alpha a dang accent?

"What was it that you wanted to see me about again?" Silence as he stood still a centimetre away from me.

" .....The date." He states simply. Now this is awkward.

"Well Stiles and I won,mostly cause Stiles helped me control my strength so now I've got a pickup to.....erm pick up tomorrow. But it was mostly fun.....why?" I ask as I began to fiddle with the straps of the books. The Alpha hasn't blinked yet,it's kinda creepy.

"There is no reason for my question." He says.

"Alright,so why did you not let Peter ask this question?" I ask trying to keep the conversation going.

"Because that wasn't my only question. Will you allow us....." He paused and shifted his weight from one foot to the other hesitation clear in his eyes. " will you go somewhere with us?" He rephrased.

"On one condition." I say as I brightened up.

"What is your condition?" He drawled watching as my fingers twirled around the straps knitting a pattern.

"Become good." I say,his head snapped up eyes narrowed in confusion.

" I was born bad,how can I change something that has always been that way?" He asks.

"No one is born bad,it's a decision we make whilst growing up. You chose this so you can fix it." I answer.

"That doesn't make sense. I was the cause of Peter's mother death." He pointed out.

"No you weren't. Did she die while you and Petey were on your way in to the world?" I ask curiously. He gave a reluctant nod.

"Then she had died of natural causes. You are not responsible for something you have no control over. But you have a choice now, either be good and live happily or be bad and loose everything. It's all up to you. Whichever path you choose is yours to take,no one can make that decision for you." I say as I gave him a soft smile. Alpha Hale sat down next to me, deliberating.

" You don't need to decide now. You can relax if you want,I can wait." I say and smiled even wider. He looked down at me a curious gleam in his golden green eyes.

" Why are you.....so nice?"

"Oh,pfft,I'm not. Okay maybe I am a little bit nice but that's mostly to the people who I deem worth it,worth being nice for. You and Peter,Orella, Stiles,Scott,Alison,Lidia, Derek, my parents, the maids,butler's heck even Jackson,well I'm not really so nice to him but that's his fault." I say.

He frowned his eyebrows knitted together.

"Why Derek? He is but an idiot with no patience."

" Because he's human. He makes mistakes, so do you and so do I. It's just the way he reacts to his mistakes is what's making him so impatient. He blames himself for things he hasn't done,just like you. Just like any sane person,we all blame ourselves for things that are out of our control." I say.

"You are much wiser than your age suggests." Grumbled Peter. Well obviously I am older than you and know more about life than you do,not like I'd tell you though.

" Mhmm, probably because of the amount of books and stories I know of." I hummed and watched as he turned to face me fully, I realised once he did that he was shirtless. Firey scars lined in patterns down to his waist line and up to his hair line. Glancing up I saw that he was smirking with a raised eyebrow. Crap,I stared.

"How do I become good?" He asks.

"Simple.Stop killing those who don't deserve it, stop trying to force people to follow you, stop trying to force yourself to do things that you obviously don't like." I was referring to him staying in the hospital and the way he avoided speaking to anyone except myself.

".....I'll try. Good night." Alpha Hale got up wanting to leave.

"You know you can stay,I won't bite." I say jokingly grinning from ear to ear. He rolled his eyes.

"I'm not afraid of you,Khaleesi."

"I hope not. Because I ain't afraid of you." I say.

"Then I'll stay." He says.

"Alright." I grin and leaned against him as I dragged my attention back to my drawings.
