Beautiful Monsters

Part 32

Alex awoke too Peter's loud Roar of pain. Since, against Derek's better judgement, Peter decided to bring her with him. 

"What the fuck smells like burnt flesh? Peter, if this is a weird trauma-turned-kink. Keep me out of it." she sassily stated as she sat up. 

"God, why is my head pounding? Where's Scott? Who did he bite? Is Stiles alive? Is Melissa okay? How did I-" "Okay! Can you stop asking questions?" Derek snapped at her. 

"Can you stop avoiding me?" she snapped back at him. 

"I am not avoiding you." he told her. 

"Am too." she replied. 

"Am not." he huffed. 

"Am too-" "You are bickering like children. Stop it." Peter cut Alex off. 

"Derek, just... say what you want to. But do the thing you've been fighting your ego against and go back to being best friends." Peter ordered, fed up with the childish arguments and behavior of the two. 

"What?" Alex asked, confused. 

"After Jennifer and the Nogitsune... you disappeared." Derek started. 

"Yes, I needed to recharge." she butted in. 

"I wanted to apologize for sleeping with her while I was technically with you. We weren't together like that, but it gave me no right to sleep with another woman." Derek told her, his voice sounding a lot more restraining. 

"Eh, it's fine." she shrugged, not really caring about it anymore. 

"Fine? What you got someone else?" he asked with a raised brow. 

"Actually, Yes, I got my eye on someone. He's older, but I think we're good for each other." she smirked. 

"Sounds healthy, Miss. Daddy issues." Derek told her. 

"Actually, I have Mommy Issues." Alex corrected him which angered Derek a bit. 

"Look, if you forget about the Darach. So will I... Having teenage Derek call me from across the world made me realize how much I missed being kids. How much I missed having my innocent wolf-best friend... Having the fluffy eyebrowed, cute, innocent little cuddle-" "Okay stop!" Derek growled, but it turned into a chucked as she laughed at his facial expression. 

"I'm not sure if this is healthy." Peter mumbled. 

"If you haven't realized, I'm not necessarily the icon of healthy relationships or anything for the matter." she smiled at him and walked off to answer her phone. 

"Gabriel you better have a good reason to contact me." she growled into her phone. 

"Who's Gabriel?" Peter and Derek asked her only to be ignored. 

He told her that the twins were threatening to burn down the house and send him to hell if they didn't talk to her. 

"Okay, let me talk to the two-year-olds." she giggled. 

"HEY! Lilith is part demon and quite frankly, she scares me. She's a lot more like you than Jessica, especially since they are adopted," he told her. 

"Mama Pikachu!" the twins yelled, grabbing the phone from Gabriel and turning on the video call. 

"Lily, Jess. Mama Pikachu is going to be gone a little longer than promised. She has found a... an evil boogeyman." Alex slowly explained, making sure the two understood what she meant. 

"A boogeyman!" the two gasped. 

"A boogeyman," she laughed, "I'll call when it's over...okay?"

"Yup!" they smiled at her.
