25.

"Oh I would", the alpha answered showing me his fangs,"I have so much anger in me. I would kill everyone, who's in my way right now".

"But not me", I quickly said and wrapped my arms around his muscular body, that seemed to be so fragile right now. Our body's touched and my heart stopped beating for a moment, waiting to see if he would bite me.

"I trust you Derek", I whispered with fear in my shaking voice, but still I meant everything I said. My body was tense. Derek was in control, if I would die tonight.

But he didn't bite me. At least nothing hurt. Then Derek wrapped his strong arms around my body, pulling me the closest possible. It was like he was making me a part of his own body, so he wouldn't bite me.

I was relieved and spoke a quick spell, to make Derek remember all of the great moments that we've spent together. It seemed to work. His body loosened up and he turned back to his human form.

"How did you know I wouldn't bite you?", he asked me breathless and took my face in between his hands.

"I didn't", I breathed.

"Thank you", Derek whispered quickly and pulled me closer, until our lips collided and we kissed.

„Thank you for bringing me home", Derek said with a slight smile,"And everything tonight".

„You don't have to thank me", I answered,"Everything is going to be alright and you'll get revenge when we have these alpha idiots".

Derek laughed shortly:"I'm looking forward to that".

I took a look around. It felt awkward if I would stay tonight, so I decided to go home:"If you need help, just call me. Always. I'll go home".

„I will", the alpha answered,"Be careful". I nodded and drove home.

It was in the middle of the night when someone shook my body to wake me up. I opened my eyes and grabbed the person. I used my vampire speed and slammed them with their back to the wall.

„Ouch", the person said and I realized it was Stiles the whole time,"Jolene it's me".

„Oh I'm sorry", I said and stepped back,"What is it? It's like five in the morning?".

„It's eight", Stiles corrected me, making me blush,"Derek needs our help".

But before he was able to continue I shoved him out of my bedroom and closed the door:"Continue! I'll just change in the meantime".

„Oh okay. Anyways. He tried to phone Erica to tell her that Boyd died but she didn't pick up. Isaac hasn't seen her since last evening. Derek is guessing that they have Erica", Stiles explained.

„Okay", I said and got out of my bedroom. I quickly grabbed some jars from a cupboard and gave them to Stiles,"It's for a spell to find Erica. Don't drop it".

„Thank god, you have a plan", Stiles smiled,"Scott, Lydia and Allison are already at Derek's. I dropped them off. Scott messaged me that Derek is freaking out".

"Understandable", I shrugged while I was pouring two bags of blood in a to go coffee cup,"Practically half of his pack is either gone or dead".

"Really? Blood in a coffee cup", Stiles laughed.

I giggled:"Should've taken a Starbucks cup".

We entered the loft with all of the magic ingredients, making everyone stare at us. I rolled my eyes when I saw Peter.

"We don't have time for baking", Peter hissed with a smirk on his face.

"What is this idiot doing here?", I asked the group.

"We need him to fight the alpha pack", Derek answered and stepped for.

"If you say so", I shrugged and placed the jars on the table. Peter was sitting on the stairs and watched every move I made.

"What is your plan with all of that stuff?", Isaac questioned with a weird face while pointing to my magic ingredients.

"Lord", I exhaled annoyed.

"How can you be so dumb?", Stiles answered instead of me,"We're obviously producing a potion to make you useful". Everyone even Peter and the sourwolf laughed.

"Half of my life I was locked in a freezer so I'm sorry but being helpful is new to me", Isaac answered.

"Oh god", Stiles said frustrated.

"No for real. What is your exact plan?", Derek asked.

I looked up:"I'll find Erica and then we'll get her out of there".

"What if they keep her somewhere your magic won't reach or get through?", Peter asked,"They know that you're a witch".

"They don't know how strong I am", I answered confidently,"I have four werewolves to channel my power with".

"What?", Peter gasped,"You won't do anything with me".

"Then leave Peter", Derek hissed.

"We don't even like you", Stiles answered.

I rolled my eyes because of the discussion that started and I prepared everything for the spell.

"Do you need help?", Scott asked and came up to me.

"Just pour all of these herbs in this bowl", I smiled.

"What do they do?", he asked.

"They'll make my magic stronger incase the alpha pack has something like a magic barrier or so", I explained.

"Oh cool", Scott answered, then he leaned in to whisper in my ear,"I think you need to talk with Derek before we'll free Erica. Otherwise he'll freak out. You seem to get along with him".

"Okay", I nodded to Scott. Then we were ready for my spell to find out where Erica is.

I grabbed a knife and spoke up:"I'll need a drop of blood from every wolf to channel your power with mine and".

"You won't cut me", Peter immediately screamed.

"Oh shut up", I rolled my eyes,"If I would've wanted you dead, you wouldn't be here anymore". Then he gave in and I cut everyone a tiny bit, so a drop of blood would drop into the bowl of herbs.

When I cut Derek's hand he seemed to be very nervous so I tried to calm him down:"We will find her. Don't worry". He briefly smiled and stepped away to make room for Isaac, who was last. Derek was glad that I tried to help him, but he didn't believe it would work.

"Isaac", I spoke up, before I would cut him lastly,"You will drip your blood on this map. Because you're some kind of brother to Erica".

"Okay", he agreed and I took his hand in mine and a drop of blood fell on the map. Then I immediately closed my eyes and spoke the spell. Isaacs blood started to move on the map. Everyone gasped.

"Its working!", Allison screamed happily, making me smile. I opened my eyes.

"Did it work?", Derek asked excited and moved closer to the map.

"Beacon hills first national bank", I stated,"That's where Erica is".

"We'll go right away", Derek said and wanted to exit his loft.

"Derek no!", Scott answered and stopped the alpha,"We are not prepared".

"I'm an alpha", Derek answered,"We are enough people. It's going to be fine".

"You're crazy!", Lydia spoke up. But Derek ignored her, probably because she had no clue about fighting anyways.

No one followed Derek, making him turn around:"Come on Isaac. At least you'll help me". His beta followed.

"Don't do this Derek", I spoke up, before he could leave.

"Why?!", he faced me.

"You don't know what this alpha pack has prepared", I said and walked closer to him,"Let me at least do another spell to see what is going on. Then we'll see if we can go today".

"Today is full moon too", Stiles added,"You have no one left with a clear mind, who would be strong enough to fight the alpha pack except Jolene. And the alpha pack is going to be stronger than usual".

Derek's gaze wandered between Stiles and me. He was thinking about it and finally gave in:"How does this spell work?".

"I technically just need Isaac, because he has a bond with Erica", I explained.

"Then we'll do that", Derek said and walked back to the table. Isaac sat down and I stood behind him. Derek watched everything we did.

"Scott, Derek, would you grab Isaacs arms and hold him?", they looked at me with wide eyes and I shrugged,"It's not going to be a pony ride".

I placed my fingers on Isaacs temples and spoke the spell. My eyes rolled back and I was able to see what Erica saw. It was dark. It seemed to be a vault. Isaac started to move because the magic was transferring to his body and a non witch would only feel pain, like he did right now.

Then I saw another girl. But I could see her face, because Isaac moved to much. Derek and Scott tried to hold him, even Peter helped, but it didn't work. Our bond broke and I flew back, smashing in the wall. All I could feel was pain and exhaustion, then I lost control and got unconscious.
