Derek Hale | The Beta
Derek had to admit that he hadn't expected to be invited to the Ramos pack family dinner, honestly he didn't know how to feel about it. Both packs were still strangers and knew nothing about each other, although he supposed this would be a good way for them to all meet each other and talk. But he still felt uneasy about it as he knew he would need to go along with Scott and whoever else he decided to bring, Derek hadn't been to anything formal like this since before the fire that killed most of the Hale family. He tried to hide his emotions as much as he could as he stood there, he was still very curious about this family but at least now he understood why they had traveled so far to be there. Not only was Scott a true Alpha but Beacon Hills held such old power, if he hadn't been born into the town then he would eventually want to see it all for himself as well.
Once Scott agreed to attend this dinner, Derek let his gaze fall onto the oldest daughter. Lyra may not give off the usual wolf scent, but her beauty surely glowed even in the dark night. The blonde tones in her curled hair reflected against the moonlight, and only made her big blue eyes seem brighter. From where he was standing, he could see the different blue hues that streaked through Lyra's eyes and it was obvious how much emotion was expressed through those eyes on a daily basis. But he knew better than to stare at her even if he did find her beautiful, simply staring could end with Sterling calling for a war because Lyra was his daughter. He came across like he would be extremely overprotective of his family, Derek admired the older Alpha for that because he himself could very well be exactly the same. Even if the younger wolves in Scott's pack, he may seem like this moody guy who doesn't care but he does. He wants the young wolves to succeed and grow as people, which is why he often became angry if anything happened to them and he would do anything he needed to to make sure the pack was kept protected from everything.
"We'll keep an eye on the entire family, this is our town and we'll protect it from any danger." Derek quickly assured Scott as he could smell how tense the other was, but he knew there would have been even more tension in the air if the Ramos family hadn't howled for a meeting. At least now they knew what they were getting in to and who they may need to fight as some point,
"We can talk to Chris about them tomorrow. After school so try to relax, you still need to be a somewhat normal teenager." Derek knew that Scott still cared about high school and getting good grades, he always made sure that Scott and the pack kept up with their studies and homework. Just because they were werewolves doesn't mean they can't have a semi normal life after they graduate.
Once they made it back to where the pack were waiting, he let Scott explain about the dinner and sent an icy glare to both Boyd and Erica. They couldn't take the whole pack as it would only cause trouble, and that isn't something they needed with a family that was going to be sticking around for a while.
Let's get inside," Derek spoke clearly to the pack as they all needed sleep before school in the morning, something that he was glad that he didn't have to go through anymore. The house was no where near being done but he and Peter had gotten a lot done considering it was just them redoing the house that held so many memories, he left the pack sleep wherever they could while he went upstairs to his old bedroom. Although the roof wasn't there, the walls were still holding strong and the floor seemed to hold his weight as he slept there for the night. The next morning, Derek was awake early like most mornings and he waited until the pack all rushed home to get themselves ready for school before he climbed into his black Chevrolet Camaro before he drove down the dirt driveway. He needed to visit the local hardware store as he needed more supplies for the house, he also had to stock up on more food as the pups really did eat him out of house and home but he wouldn't change it for a single thing.
Pulling into a parking space he killed the engine and climbed out, locking the doors of his car he begun walking towards the hardware store when a breeze of air rushed past him. His attention was captured when the scent from last night filled his nose, the fresh scent of Lyra surrounded his senses as his eyes searched for her. He glanced back over his shoulder to see the girl was climbing out of her car and Derek couldn't couldn't stop the grin that formed across his face,
"Fancy seeing you again." He watched as she moved gracefully, the breeze brushed down a few strands of her blonde hair that fell around her beautiful face. Now that he could see her in the natural light of day, he could see her naturally rosy pink lips that curved smoothly and he would bet that her smile would light up any room.
Charlotte Ramos | The Human
Charlotte felt heat rush to her cheeks as she listened to what her father asked the true Alpha, she couldn't have been any more embarrassed then she was now. She didn't need anyone to show her around the high school, she wanted to curl up and hid under a rock. But she just waited until the meeting was finished, she quickly turned around so she could head home but looked at her older sister.
"Thanks," She whispered to Lyra before watching her run off deeper into the woods so she could shift and go for a run, something that Charlotte was insanely jealous about and always has been. Even if Lyra wasn't a wolf when she shifted, at least she was still a werecreature because that was more than what Charlotte was. Knowing that he father wasn't being malicious about wanting her to get to know Scott McCall, she still didn't feel right about talking to the Alpha and reporting back to her family. It made her feel uncomfortable just thinking about it but she would give it a go, for her families sake although she wasn't sure what she could possibly find out.
Making her way back into the new family home, she bid her parents goodnight before going upstairs to her bedroom. She got herself ready and crawled into her bed before sleep overtook her body, in the morning she was woken up by the sun light breaking through the curtains and by her alarm clock that was beeping at her. Groaning softly she turned her alarm clock off and dragged herself out of her bed, she ran her fingers through her blonde locks as she opened the curtains to let light fill her room completely. Grabbing her clothes she stepped into the bathroom that she shared with Lyra and took a warm shower, it didn't take her all that long to get ready and she was back in her room making sure she had everything she would need in her backpack. She walked downstairs dropping her bag by the front door as she wanted to get herself some breakfast, while her mom had the task of waking Lyra up so she could take Charlotte to school even though she was perfectly capable of getting to school herself.
"I'm coming," Charlotte finished off her toast and rushed outside to her sister's car, the drive was a quiet one but it gave Charlotte time to think about everything that dared to enter her mind.
"I'll call you if anything happens, but I'm sure I'll be fine. And me being cool has nothing to do with being related to you, I'm not even going to tell anyone about you." Charlotte teased her older sister as a smile graced her face, she climbed out of Lyra's car placing her bag over her shoulders before she ventured into the high school. She knew her family worried about her but Lyra always gave her more space and a chance for her to be the person she was, unlike their parents would could baby her as they think that's going to keep her safe. She did glance over her shoulder to see Lyra was already driving away, it was to late to turn back now so she pushed a door open and stepped inside. She held herself proud like a Ramos and walked at a steady pace, she found the principle's office and stepped inside so she could get her locker and class room schedule.
"Thank you, sir." She left the office and hurried to her locker, she emptied her backpack which was heavy even to her as she had brought all her text books which her father had made sure was waiting for her.
She hadn't seen Scott yet and was beginning to wonder if he had forgotten or just decided to not listen to her dad, but as she glanced around the hallway her eyes landed on him. She felt slight relief wash over her as she was more nervous than she realised, she could feel eyes focused on her and she hated the attention that she was getting because she was the new girl. All she wanted was her big sister to be there with her, so she wouldn't feel so damn alone and she always felt like she could take on the world when Lyra was by her side.
"Hi... Look I know you told my dad that you'd show me around, but if you're busy than I'll be fine on my own." Charlotte told Scott even though she was supposed to get to know him, she didn't want to be a burden or have him feel like she was thrown at him.
