Trusting you (Sterek)

40

Derek had his arms around Stiles as the young wolf spoke to Theo's sister "hey we didn't ask, what's your name?" Stiles said with a dopey smile that seems always there when in the arms of his mate

"I'm Tara Raeken, I don't suppose either of you recognise me" she smiled softly, she was a little older then Derek probably around the same age as Laura who was whispering away to Cora who was just chuckling at whatever she was saying "I remember the both of you, but I suppose that's the only reason Gerard kept me alive, he knew Claudia had a son and he wanted to find you Stiles, he wanted to kill you and watch the Hale's suffer, he took my brother, Talia said he's alive I thought, I thought he killed him just like our parent's"

"He's alive" Stiles said looking down with a sigh

"He was made to believe Stiles family killed yours, Gerard used him" Derek explained "he was told you where dead and that Gerard would help him get revenge"

"Oh god" She frowned shaking her head "they had me locked away, he didn't deserve that, I was suppose to protect him"

"It's not your fault" Stiles said trying to comfort her

"It's really not" Chris said as he walked into the room, the four wolves turning around to the door, Chris smiled "Peter's fine, he's gone to get Theo but I don't think it's clever to bring him to a hospital, so we where planning on meeting at the loft, Talia asked me to come and tell you"

"Thank you Chris, Sorry about..." Stiles said drifting off a bit

"Don't, he deserved to die Stiles, I'm more worried about how its effecting you then me, I lost so much but I gained so much more" Chris gave a warm smile and Tara got up off the bed "we should go if we want to get there before Peter"

Suprisingly enough we signed Tara out with ease and Stiles, Tara, Derek and Chris got in Chris car and Laura got in hers with Cora and they drove to the loft, few of the wolves where there, 3 of Talia's and Talia and Derek and Stiles whole pack which wasn't many anyways, Scott gave Stiles a hug when he came in which was a little weird but Stiles just hugged him back "I'm fine Scott" Stiles says patting his friends back

Erica shook her head "we all feel the grief you feel Stiles, we know you wanted answers from him" Stiles sighed "we're sorry"

"It's ok, I have you guys and I'm happy I do" Derek smiles pulling Stiles into his side kissing his forehead

"Let go of me you psycho" they all heard shouting coming towards the loft

"Well here comes your brother Tara" Laura piped in chuckling

"Oh will you shut up and just walk, if I could kill you I would have the first time I knocked you out" Peter shoved Theo through the door "just be happy they want you alive, Theo froze as his eye set on the young girl in the center of the room and Peter went over to Chris smiling at him "one special delivery at your request" he huffed out gently and Chris smiled back at him

"Theo?" Tara said slowly as she stared at the younger male "Theo they told me you where dead" She ran over to him and pulled him into a tight hug

"T... Tara? No no your dead everyone we loved are dead, I killed to avenge your deaths I I" Theo choked on his words as he hugged his sister in tears "how are you alive?"

"They didn't kill me, you shouldn't have trusted them Theo they made you do bad things, they made you kill an innocent family, it wasn't them who killed ma and pa it was Gerard, him and his men" Theo growled and stepped back shaking his head "that man used you"

"Where is he, I want to kill him, I want him dead"  Theo said rage in his eyes

Tara put her hands out to her brother "Theo calm down, fighting isn't always the answer, killing isn't either, I know you want to punish them for what happened but it won't change anything"

"He's already dead" Derek then answered pulling Stiles closer as the boy whimpered, "he tried to shoot Chris, thats how cold that man is tried to kill his own son"

"They should all die" Theo shouted towards Derek, Peter stepped in front of Chris and growled at Theo

Chris sighed he rested his hand on Peter's shoulder "you already got shot protecting me idiot, what are you doing you could have died once already today yet you still throw yourself into the shot aimed at me" Chris frowned and looked at Theo "they are dead, me and my daughter are not their family"

Theo growled back at Peter being held by his sister "yeah right, you are as much as a hunter as them, you double cross your family, your own blood what makes them so trusting of you, yet they all wanted to kill me and not you how do we know you are not lying to us!"

"You have the same suspicion as Talia" Chris sighed "I could have gave them up a long time ago, I could have gave the mates over to Gerard, I could have left you thinking your only sister  was dead, I could have let Peter kill you, yet you still do not trust me, I am on the side of the wolves, my best friend was killed my the monster I called dad, my wife was killed by Derek's family because of what that man had brought her to believe, my sister I handed to Peter for his own revenge because she killed his wife and kids, I was even handing over my own father to be questioned by your kind and almost got shot for betraying him, what have I done to not be trusted? I threw away everything I believed in to help werewolves, including my own family why would I have a reason to lie" Chris said standing and folding his arms as he stared back at Theo

Theo remained silent as he stared at Chris then everyone around him before back to his sister "it's ok little brother" she whispered giving him a gentle smile "they saved us"

Theo let our a defeated sigh and nodded he then looked towards Stiles and Derek hanging his head "I'm sorry, I just, I lost everything"

"We know" Stiles said "we all lost something or came close to at least loosing everything if we havn't already lost it all, but that's what makes us stronger, we lost things but the strength to keep what they believed in gives us the strength to keep going, I never grew up with a pack, it was always just me and Dad, and now I never been more happy having my mate and our pack, our own family"

Theo looked at Stiles then his sister "this family of yours gave me my sister back" he smiled "All I ever wanted was a family, my first one was stolen from me, now I have my sister back I can get a family again"
