Chapter 13

Scott's POV

I had heard enough already. Enough of how Stiles is happy. Enough of how peaceful he looks.

Enough of how beautiful his girlfriend looks like and how romantic a couple they are!. I had heard enough and I was tired of it.

Why did Stiles have to get the best things in life?. Like seriously, he killed my first love, Allison and life decides to gift him with some beautiful girl in his life.

Not fair.

Not fair at all.

"We should try to talk to him again". Peter suggested while talking to Derek and Isaac.

"What for?". I scoffed out.

Derek sent me one of his deadly glares that I didn't fear anymore.

"None of your business!". He snapped.

"Woah, you should have seen that chick.. She's amazingly beautiful than Lydia". Isaac muttered with a wide grin on his face.

Lydia huffed as she flipped her hair behind her with a roll of her eyes.

"No one can be over beautiful than I. Well, not just yet because the most beautiful ones than I aren't born". She said.

"Who uses that 'beautiful ones not born yet' phrase nowadays?". Peter questioned.

"Scott you better think well because if you aren't careful, we'll have to choose sides." Peter said turning to face me.

"My side is always the winning one". I retorted.

"I hope you're right this time around Scott. I hope you are right". He said as he stood up, Derek and Isaac following him behind.

*****

I parked my motorcycle in the parking lot beside Lydia's car. Lydia, Kira and I walked towards the school.

We stopped when Isaac and Malia joined us as Stiles' jeep pulled over the parking lot, a few cars away from Lydia's. He got out of the car, his backpack hanging over one of his shoulders as he slammed the door shut. He looked at us and grinned before walking away towards the school.

"He knows we know". I thought out loud. Well, what else were his actions indicating?.

"Of course, he has a goddess by his side". Malia said.

"We should try talking to him". Isaac suggested. "And be more friendly".

"Yeah". Malia responded as they slowly walked away from us.

"I think Isaac and Malia have already chosen a side". Kira said from behind me where she was standing. I huffed not even trying to turn so as look at her.

I looked away where other vehicles had been packed. I saw Derek and Peter there, looking back at us.

"Pride Scott... Pride". Derek muttered beneath his breathe.

I took in a deep breathe and turned my back towards them as I rushed to school. All these was just too shitty. I never wanted things to turn out this way. I never wanted.

During lunch time, Isaac and Malia went over to Stiles who was eating outside, alone as his usual. I couldn't hear what they were saying to him but Stiles didn't look happy at all.

Stiles' POV

At lunch time, I was having my peaceful moment and was about to open my lunch box when Isaac and Malia came to me. Isaac had this huge smile on his face and Malia was trying to smile though I could tell that she didn't want to be here but was forced by circumstances to show up in front of me.

"Hey Stiles". Isaac started shyly.

"Yo Isaac... Malia". I responded. Malia gave a nod.

I could see Scott looking at us and I didn't need to be a werewolf to tell that he was angry and jealous.

"Um, can. Can we eat with you?". Isaac asked with slight hesitation in his voice, his fingers playing with the handle of the bag containing his lunch.

"Yeah sure". I said with a pinched smile as they sat on the grass facing me. I guess eating lunch with them wouldn't hurt. After all, reconciliation won't be bad, right?.

"Stiles, I wanna say sorry for the way we treated you". Isaac started.

"I deserved it".

"No you didn't. None of us is perfect". Malia said.

A part of me wanted to believe that they were sincere, that they wanted me back in their lives. But the other part of me reminded me that they were doing this because of the new threat coming and they needed me just to help them out and keep them alive.

I know Lux had talked to me not to treat them ill. Not to lash out on them but to be kind. The kindness that they all took for granted and shoved it out of the window.. I don't want to be used again. Not again.

"Why are you apologizing now?". I asked, a part of me wanting to make sure that they didn't want to use me to get to Lux.

"Because we realized that no matter what, you are still pack". Malia said.

"And pack stays together. We know that we shut you out not wanting to know that you also suffered just like us. We played victims forgetting that you were a victim too. We are sorry Stiles". Isaac said, sincerity laced in his voice.

"Forgive us. Even if you won't come back to the pack, at least let our friendship proceed". Malia added..

"How can I come back to the pack when the alpha, whose my best friend, doesn't want anything to do with me?". I questioned. They looked at each other then back at me. Malia opened her mouth to talk but then, the bell signifying for us to go back to class, rang.

"I haven't eaten yet". Isaac whined making Malia and I chuckle as we stood up to go back to class.

********

Israel had started teaching me some some combat skills. I was to go where the Nemeton was, in the clearing where I was trained. No one came to the Nemeton so it was private, the only people present during my training was Israel, Lux, other four angels, Keeper and I.

During the past few days, I had a lot of information to keep in and contemplate. From being the keeper of the book of life, to being the mate to a goddess and a guardian, to being an empathy god.... I know I had a lot to learn and a lot of things to train for. And I was ready for it all.

Keeper taught me how to control my powers, my emotions.. I was able to read emotions from people though not much since I hadn't gained a lot of experience.

"That's enough for today my lord. You better hit the gym more". Israel said with a smirk.

"Are you teasing me?". I asked feigning anger.

"Oh no. No my lord. I'm just saying that you need to exercise more to keep fit". He responded with a low bow.

"Are you saying that I'm fat?". I asked with furrowed brows and arms crossed against my chest. Keeper chuckled.

"I dare not my lord". Israel said.

I tried hard not to smile though my lips twitched up in a smile.

"General, there are supernatural creatures approaching". One of the four angels told Israel before

they became invisible. Israel straightened up and looked behind me, I turned to see who were coming.

Of course, who else would be coming?. I mean, Beacon Hills doesn't have other supernaturals other than the wolves in McCall pack, right?.

Israel flashed a bright white light around us but we weren't affected by it. He was covering us with the light to blind the creatures approaching us.

Keeper came to stand beside me. I could see Lux seated on the Nemeton, the four angels standing behind her in a circular motion but they were invisible, only we could see them.

Approaching was Peter, Derek, Isaac and Malia. They stopped a few feet away from us, covering their eyes with their hands to prevent the light from hurting them. I could tell that they were all nervous and afraid.

Israel drew his flamed sword out and pointed it towards them.

"This is the light of the saints! Do not look!". He exclaimed.

"We come in peace. Please don't harm us". Peter said. For once I had heard him pleading, I knew him as the tough one never to bow in front of anyone. Isaac was now shaking and Malia was trying to fake bravity. Derek was just being Derek... He had mixed up reactions.

Israel took back his sword and the light around us faded. They straightened up and looked at us..... At me!.

"Stiles?". Derek muttered my name beneath his breath. I looked up at him with a grin on my face.

"What do you want?". Keeper asked, they turned to look at her.

"We are here to talk to Lady White. Please". Derek said.

"Ask nicely". Keeper said using the same tone that Derek used. It's as if she was mocking them.

"Be polite". Israel added.

They looked at Israel then back at Keeper and me.

"Stiles-". Derek started but was cut short by Keeper.

"His lordship. He is his lordship. Be respectful". She said.

They looked at me confused with what Keeper had said. I smirked at them. I was now above them all. Who had thought that a day would come when I would be above them. I was now a superior and had power... It felt good but bragging ain't good, right?...

"What do you want?". I asked feigning irritation.

"We know you have the White Spirit with you". Isaac said, afraid that Israel would make him backtrack his statement on calling Lux the white spirit.

"I know you know". I smirked again.

"Please can we talk to her?". Malia asked.

"You talk to her through me. Whatever you want to say, tell it to me and I'll deliver it". I answered.

Peter took in a deep breathe. "We know about Babayada's coming. We don't want to die, Stiles. We want to be registered in the book of life. Please". He said.

"With all honesty, I never thought a day will come when you're serious about something else apart from killing people". I responded.

"This is about death, right?". Peter asked.

"You can't be registered unless you have an alpha." Keeper said.

"What do you mean? That we need Scott here for the registration to go through?". Isaac asked.

Keeper and I nodded.

"The leader is the one who registers his pack". I said.

"But Scott won't come, he hates you." Malia said. "I mean, he's still angry with you". She backtracked her words as I gave a stern look. I didn't need to be reminded that my best friend disliked me.

"What about omega? How do they get registered then?". Derek asked.

"This is the time they now join a pack. Whether they like it or not, this is a matter of life and death, not a time for pride". Keeper answered.

"So. We go back to Scott?". Peter asked his voice laced with disappointment.

"But were not in his side anymore". Isaac whined.

"You wolves separated because of this?". Israel asked. They nodded.

"What are we going to do now?". Isaac asked.

"Simple. Look for another alpha". Derek said.

"Or maybe not!". Lux exclaimed as she and the angels became visible.

"What do you mean?". Derek questioned as Lux stood up.

"Is she the white spirit?". Malia asked.

"Isn't she your girlfriend whom we saw at your place?". Isaac questioned.

I turned to look at them with a smile on my face, "Yes, she's the white spirit. Long story short, we're mates!". I answered as they looked at me dumbstruck then back at her.

"Peter Hale, you were an alpha before right?". Lux asked as she took slow steps towards us.

"Y-Yes. Yes I was". Peter answered.

"Too bad, you died so the power isn't with you. But Derek Hale became the alpha after you, huh?". She questioned now standing beside Keeper.

Derek nodded not sure of where this conversation was heading. I was also curious of what she was going to say.

"You lost your power by saving your sister. You lost the red eyes by doing good". Lux continued. "You are now a beta but you can still fight like an alpha".

"Lux, just go straight to the point". I blutered out.

"They don't need Scott. Derek can revive the alpha power back". Lux said. We all turned to look at her, she was having that sweet smile of hers and seemed so sure of what she was saying.
