Part 1

Theo was a good addition to his clique (who was only composed of him and Allison) as he's really good in sciences (like maths, physics and chemistry) and could help him and Allison for history homework (because he read a lot), improving both of their marks.

For the whole month they hung out a lot more, testing the water, before having to spend a week together.

In addition of their morning jogging, they start to skate after school as Theo and Scott (and Stiles too, RIP) were fond of skateboarding (and Allison wasn't as good at it as she was on ice skating). Even though Scott remembered they both were asthamatic, Theo seemed to have gotten out of this handicap and is very much healthy now. And while Allison's having some archer business, he and Theo worked out and he was even willing to play lacrosse with him even though he never played and wasn't that keen on the sport (he was the typical american football player)

They also hung out more in the clinic, as Theo's very good with dogs. He chose to tell them the truth about that.

Theo's werewolf.

Like, an actual werewolf, those mystical creatures half-human and half-wolf howling at the full moon and attacking humans. Except some point of legends weren't actually true.

For one, they did not howl at the full moon, but get a boost of power at this time. They usually could transform to half-human and half-wolf whenever they want or if something's making them wolfing out. On the other hand, most of them did not attack humans, because then, they had to deal with hunters (humans hunting werecreatures with some incredible weapon, crossbow, bow and arrow and guns). And finally, they worked in pack with hierarchy and only the alpha would bite a human and turned him.

Theo was turned when he was young (it also explained his healed asthma), and didn't have much memory about it, just that made him move out. And Scott's heart clenched when he got what's he's implying. It was in fourth grade, hence they lost contact of each other.

Meaning that Stiles was also probably bitten. Because, if one could turn into werewolf by an alpha bite, other couldn't bear the change and die. Sheriff did say Stiles was bitten on the arm but everyone thought it was an animal attack. A probably sentient animal who ccould shift.

Finally, spring break came and they were ready to head to Beacon Hills (and had to find some excuse so the Argents wouldn't forbid Allison into the trip. Hence, to their eyes, Allison's is having camping with her girl friends who are really in camping, just not with Ally) to elucidate the mystery.

They set out directly at the end of the last day of school and drove to Beacon Hills in Theo's truck. They arrived five hours later and settle to sleep in the car, since the McCall house was sold to someone else last month and Sott didn't feel like asking Stilinski senior to crash at his house (the poor man).

So, early in the first morning, after stretching their sore muscles and using the school's locker room to shower and be presentable enough, they went to investigate the murder case that rampaged in the town for the last month. Of course, first step was to stop at the Sheriff's station.

Scott knew for a thing that Stilinski wasn't the Sheriff anymore (or the man'd be superman to go working after losing the last family member he had), but he was shoked to learn he actually passed away. Like, last time he heard about him, he as in intensive care. Look like he drown himself in alcohol and died. The Stilinski house was now under Elias Stilinski's name who won't do much as being hold in a nursing home several towns away. And the murdering case wasn't solved as there were other death, one they actually could have crossed if they got there earlier.

Jackson Whittemore.

Scott stopped listening to Theo's voice, who went to learn more after he nearly faint at Stilinski's death.

"As his corpse was still conserved in the morgue because the cases is in progress, his parents couldn't held him a funeral."

Well, that's really too bad. The whittemore would probably sue the station, the father being attorney.

"What do you want to do, now?"

Theo's not asking him to decide their next move, but rather what he need to do to feel better. Because he did feel overwhelmed.

"Maybe we shoud check on Lydia, Jackson's girlfriend, well, when he was alive."

They went to the hospital, because it's where she was last time he was there and they did come at the right time as she was being relieved of her stay. They greeted mrs Martin and asked to talk to Lydia, as schoolmate. Something true only for Scott, and partially as former high schooler of Beacon High.

"Do I know you?" She started coldly.

None of them commented as understanding her mood. She was hospitalized for three weeks at least, and the moment she was released, she learned her boyfriend's murdered.

"I was on the lacrosse team with Jackson, uh, sorry for the loss."

She shrugged with watery eyes.

"One may say he's not the only loss."

"Still, a loss is still a loss."

Maybe it was his tone or his eyes, to having passed though the same pain, Lydia Martin lost her cool and actually showed some emotion. She nodded quietly and just accepted his condoleances.

Mrs Martin called her so they could leave and Lydia let them here.

Except they met her again in a desert corridor when they were leaving too (As Scott wanted to checked his mother's work place one last time) and she was frozen in place.

"Lydia? Are you OK?" Allison called her out.

They thought she was maybe crying so letting Allison checking her out was for the best, but she held a face of suspicion.

"Did you see this guy?"

"What guy?"

"You were alone."

"It couldn't be, he was leading me here and get into this room."

They were in the intensive care section, in front of the room named Peter Hale.

"I think he died too," she blurted out suddenly.

"You think?" Scott repeated.

"I was hospitalized, I didn't stay in date about everything that happened at this time."

While Scott's confunding in apologize, Theo got Lydia's attention.

"Forgive me asking but why where you hospitalized?"

"I was attacked by a man. He may use some animal to bite me to unconsciousness and now the wound's still healing."

She touched instinctively her injury, hidden under her dress where the three's eyes fell to.

Scott and Allison look strangely at Theo, who nodded imperceptibly. It must be an alpha werewolf's bite, but the victim didn't turn into a werewolf, or wasn't conscious to be one. Which couldn't be possible according to her time of being hospitalized. Three weeks, and they didn't even know when she was bitten, but as the full moon would be soon, they'll know. They exchanged phone number with her.

They head to the library and gathered all the murders that happened, infos in the gazette or in Scott's texts he received from Stiles before his death. Seven deaths plus the one of Jackson and Peter Hale, the latter not confirmed yet.

They guessed they could check the preserve as most of them was found there, but it was a huge place and they didn't count much on it.

So they searched on the newpapers and find a string with the Hale house fire. It was implicit that they had to check on the only survivor member, Derek, but it wasn't easy as the man just returned in the town two months ago and never made a public appearance.

Now, they didn't have choice but to go in the preserve and hope to find something in the burnt house. They weren't hoping a lot but they were very surprised to see a familiar face.

"Kate?"

"Allison! What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same question!" The young girl exclaimed.

"Oh, I was in the area because your parents said about forgetting something at their last trip and asked me to check for them."

"My parents were in Beacon Hills?"

Kate lost some easiness at her niece's surprise but forced a smile when noticing the boys' surprised eyes.

"And what are you doing here? During spring break? Wait, let me guess, your parents didn't know, right? And since Scott is here because of his home town, with a unknow guy, you want to..."

"No, don't finish your sentence, whatever you're thinking, it isn't!"

"Oh, is that so?" She defied them.

But none of Scott and Allison said anything knowing the older woman's thought. Quite surprisingly, Theo didn't say anything either, as the couple thought he would say something smug or snarky.

"Anyway, let's have dinner !"

They had dinner in Kate's apartment. They ordered takeaway and chatted lightly but Theo's feeling something's off.

Then, after the meal, Allison asked to talk to her aunt privatly as she wanted to know about her parent's presence there. And she learned a lot. The Argents were actually hunters and Kate's brother and her sister-in-law came two months ago to hunt a werewolf who came back after six years of absence. Yes, Laura Hale, meaning that the whole family was born werewolf. Some people must be really scared to commit a genocid. But Allison's parents didn't find anything after a month there (and having to miss their daughter's birthday), but they decided to leave as the murder calmed down, the alpha must be taken down by an outside force. So Kate replaced them to find more about the case.

That's all Theo heard before the Argents women came back in the living room.

"Well, the night was long, I think you guys should go."

Implying Allison will stay the night here. Legitimate, instead of sleeping in an inconfortable truck with two guys.

"Sure. We'll see you tomorrow."

Allison nodded stiffly, but was aiming a warning look to Theo.

"They could have stayed." Kate taunted.

"Not under the same roof as you," Allison answered back playfully.

It was the last Theo could hear before leaving the building quickly. Scott and him planned the night and chose to tail the aunt the following day. She looked like knowing more than she's willing to share.

"Lydia called," was the first thing Allison greeted them after getting in the truck.

Being a girl, she was the most expected to gain Lydia's thrust than the others two.

"What did she say?" Scott inquired.

"She dreamt or saw the man again."

"The invisible man that only her could see?"

"Yep, and she's also suspecting it to be a vision or something as she saw him in the burnt Hale House."

And Lydia's never been in this part of the town.

"She was there?"

"Yeah, certainly after we get out as it was darker and the man was definitly asking something from her."

"A probably dead man."

"A dead man who's haunting her. Does that mean spirit and ghost existed too?"

"They do," Theo confirmed "but nobody could see them, not even with werewolf's eyes. The only supernatural creatures that could see them are the banshee, I think it's called."

"What it actually is?"

"Only women could show sign to be one. They sense and hear death. They also predicted the death of those close to them by screaming. But they're so rare that I never saw one."

"Well, meet Lydia, a new learner of her supernatural part that she wasn't even aware of."

"Maybe your family would know something. According what your aunt said, your family's coming from a long line of hunter, they probably noted all the supernatural they met, or used to hunt."

"Oh god, you heard. Of course, you did, it wasn't that far from you. Does that mean you werewolves don't have some sign to show your supernatural part?"

"Well, you saw me and Lydia. We're basically like humans if we don't show any power. She didn't know but I rather not be close to her."

"Understandable. So, what do we do? We go talk to Lydia?"

"Hm, actually, do you know what your aunt's doing for today?"

"Uh, she said she will keep looking for indices, why?"

A look between the guys made her understood.

"Are you suspecting Kate? I mean, I know we're a hunter family but that doesn't mean anything."

"Yeah, but look with an outside eye. Your parents came here and just after the news of Laura Hale, a werewolf, death is spread, they quited and Peter Hale seemed to be dead. Your aunt came here and Derek's missing."

"Not dead."

"Yet."

"She probably abducted him. Or worse, is tortuting him."

"That's a grave accusation."

"We had to follow her to know if it's true."

"You're a horrible person to manipulate my feelings like that."

"Look at my perspective."

"Hush."

Scott chose to not interfere. The two of them knew some days before he was reunited properly to Theo, and they seem to have a bickering relation. He internally wonder if Stiles would chat with Allison like that. Theo and Stiles did share some similarity.

They found Kate after geolocalizing her phone (Theo also knew that kind of stuff and Scott's wondering what he didn't know and where and when he learned that), she lead them to some abandoned cabin in the preserve. And they were shocked (not really) to see she had binded and chained up a man and was torturing him with a whip. If Allison trusted Theo's hearing, Kate was asking where the body were and the man, most probably Derek Hale, wasn't cooperating. (10.4.2020)

As they couldn't bear this scene anymore, they planned to distract Kate's attention. Allison had to get out of the preserve and call her aunt and tricking her about knowing more about the Argent Family and possibly get their hunting notebook and just know more about Argents. While the guys get in the cabin to rescue the poor man.

Before parting, the couple shared an intimate instant next to Theo, who tried not to think too loud about being the third wheel.

It took them just the afternoon to set free the werewolf, who's so worn out, so they took him to late lunch and were quite amazed how muh he could eat. Like Theo said, they got fast metabolism, super strentgh, super agility and super sense, therefore it was only logicale they had to eat more. They want to question him about his presumably dead uncle but the man was so asocial it felt ungrateful from someone they just saved.

At least they got him to assume that uncle Pete was the serial killer who as avenging the Hale House fire, but also the murder of his niece and Derek's sister, leading to his murder by Derek himself. What a dysfunctional family to kill their own like it's nothing. 

And since the alpha spark was originally from Laura, then to her murder Peter, but finally to his (justified) murder Derek, he's now the alpha. And Scott had to ask.

"Are you the one who bite Stiles?"

Derek shook his head.

"I didn't bite anyone. Peter bite three people, all teenager. One rejected the bite and died in pain, one became a werewolf but at this time I already killed Peter so the turn may shocked him and he got overwhelmed but then Kate appeared and hunted him."

"So, she's the one who killed him?"

"Yeah, she cut his body in half, because that's how the hunters work. The Argents couple were the one who cut Laura's corpse."

"And now Kate wanted to do the same with Peter's corpse?"

Derek just nodded darkly.

"What about the last bitten?"

"No clue. She didn't manifest for a month. I thought she died but then, it's not in the news."

"Because she's a Banshee."

"Those supernatural beings who can sense death by screaming?"

"Seems so as she's seeing your dead uncle who's haunting her."

"Well, it's not like she could ressurrect him."

Derek should stop assuming things so fast.

As the night fell, the guys were starting to worry about Allison who didn't give a sign for the day. When they decided to accompany Derek wherever he lived, for safety, they were stunned to see Lydia here. But she didn't seem aware of her actions as she knocked out the high schoolers and abducted Derek after making him sneeze purple ashes.

It was the full moon in the dark sky.

Once regained consciousness, Scott and Theo chased after the banshee in trance with Theo's scent. They got to the preserve (of course) and saw with horror that Lydia cut Derek to do something with his blood. Before they could do anything though, an arrow flew through the air and stopped the poor red hair.

Sh wasn't shot, as Scott would make sure a moment after, but Allison's aim was pretty terrible.

"Perfect! One stone three birds! I always knew the hunter's blood ran inside you, Ally!"

The praise wasn't that appreciated as Allison came out behind her aunt with a dark look. She shot an alarmed look at Theo, but quickly look at her boyfriend who was carrying the empty doll Lydia became after being haunted by a dead werewolf.

Kate was gloating when she pulled out a sword and approaching Peter Hale's corpse, but before she could cut it in half and did other monstrosity (not really since werewolf aren't humans, so she can scather them, she still get out as human), Derek regained the will of his body back and jumped on her.

He was shifted, with sharp fangs and claws and alpha red eyes, and would have seriously harmed Kate if Allison didn't intervene again by shooting the alpha in the shoulder. It was enough for Kate to knock him on the side and assaulted Peter's body in half, making Lydia scream to reality and Derek of more anger. He roared and attacked her though the pain in his shoulder and was so fast that even Allison couldn't do anything else than watch in horror.

Derek bit Kate.

And even though the huntress let out a cry, she wasn't seething in pain, meaning she will be turned, Theo assumed.

"Oh, my god... Kate!" Allison came to the same conclusion as she ran to her aunt.

Derek was smiling ruthlessly, mouth bloody. "How ironic for a hunter to be turned in that creature they were hunting, huh, Kate? Now you're going to follow your sick code and end your life!"

Even through his yell, a pleased glint was in his eyes. She made him suffer, now it's his turn.

"N-no !" Kate got up in pain thanks her niece's arm. "I'm... will not..."

She didn't end her pathetic speech as the weight of the full moon was just just above her. She turned a horrified look to her relative before taking the flight, Allison's on her toes.

"Allison!"

"Scott, calm down! You had to take Lydia out of here! She seemed to be still under Hale's influence and she could still do whatever ritual she was manipulated to do! And bring Derek with you because it's his blood that's the cause! Don't worry, I'll go after Allison!" Theo instructed before taking the run.

Well, he will go after Allison if he was sure she's still alive. The girl did chase after a turning werewolf after all.

So he wasn't that surprise to see a lifeless body in the bottom of a pit. It probably wasn't intentional, Kate was trying to get out of her cluth and ended up shoving her, which made her lose her balance and fall.

Theo jumped to kneel beside her and winced at her bad state. She smelt blood and pain and at the sight of how her body was placed, he could easily guess her spine was broken. She still managed to talk, though.

"Scott..."

"Look, Allison, it seemd pretty clear you won't have many time before dying, so there's only one option, to take the bite. Thing is, your a huntress, and as you heard Derek, your Argents Code tell you that's either death or, actually it all lead to death, because you do not accept were creature. But, I kind of like you and Scott would be devasted to learn your death, so..."

He looked into her eyes, where pain and suspicion were mixing at his speech and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"I'm sorry I can't take your pain. I know you could if you accept the bite, you probably turn into a werewolf like your aunt did, and between us, I don't think she'll end her life, she didn't seem to follow the code, neither you have to. You were put into this mess without your knowing, so it just kind of survival thought, you know?"

Her eyes didn't seem to agree.

"Well, I do admit there's gonna be some downside, like mountain ashes from rowan wood, to wolfsbane and even mistletoe, but if you're careful, the bite's a gift."

"Unlike you..."

Theo raised his brows and shot a glance to his hand, interwined with her, covered by a glove in montain ashes. His hand didn't react badly at the protection against supernatural.

"Oops, you got me. But, that's not the point. Are you gonna take the bite or no? Quick, or I have to carrry your corpse to Scott."

"Scott..." Sh whimpered. "I want to see him..."

"Then, it's settle! I'm gonna call an alpha, wait a little longer, ok?"

She waited. She didn't know how long but then Theo was beside her again with another person. It wasn't Derek, and she was kind of relieve by that, but a kind looking Asian woman. The alpha glowed her red eyes and took her hand. She was in so much pain already, she didn't even feel the bite.

"It's OK, now. You can close your eyes, my child."

So she did, feeling already a connection with this woman.

*

"So you're not a werewolf?"

"Not really. But as you saw, I could easily passed for one."

"Yeah, except, you can pass through mountain ashes and aren't weaken by wolfsbane. And probably not even by mistletoe or the lichen. What are you? A super werewolf?"

Theo snorted. "You can see me as one. I'm indeed better without the restraint, but it's only that. I can't take pain neither inhibit scent like you guys."

"Yeah, thanks to alpha Satomi."

That made Allison open her eyes.

"Oh, finally!"

Allison was greeted by a blong girl, seeming younger than her.

"Hey, I'm Lorilee, your packmate!"

"Easy, Lori, let her breathe and realize what she is by herself."

It was a blong guy who talked. Handsome. Beside him was Theo, who waved at her.

"Theo, what?"

"Well, you accepted the bite, remember?"

"I wanted to see Scott," she reminded him what she said.

"Well, you couldn't see him if you were dead, now, could you? So you had to take the bite and thanks god you didn't reject it, now, you're in your alpha's lair and meet your pack. Here, Brett and his sister Lori. There are others, but we're gonna stop here."

"Where's Alpha?"

"Checking on Derek. Since he's a lonely alpha and could easily be taken as omega, she proposed him an alliance."

"If Derek's here, then..."

Theo rolled his eyes. "Fine, I call your boyfriend."

Scott came later, when she was introduced to the whole pack (she could count at least thirty of them, not all were bitten (like her and Demarco Montana) by alpha Satomi, most of them were taken as omega like Carrie Hudson or after losing their original pack like the sibling Brett Talbot and Lorilee Rohr (why the different name, she didn't know), including bonding with the Alpha Satomi and trying not to held grudge to Derek Hale who saw his last family member being cut in half (while one of her relative was in flight, maybe dead). And Lydia was with him.

Allison tried not to show her jealousy at how close the two were. But she wasn't succesful.

"Why are your eyes glowing?" Theo called her out.

She checked herself in the mirror and her eyes were glowing gold and her fangs out, and probably her claws too.

"Calm your heartbeat. The adrenaline is making you wolf out," her alpha advised her.

She complied and found her human form again when Scott was close enough.

"My girlfriend is a werewolf," he breathed out, amazed.

And it was enough for Allison to smile sweetly at him.

"Lovesick," Theo mumbled without bothering them.

"But genuine," Lydia commented with a longing voice.

"I know someone in Eichen to help you," Satomi told her kindly.

"I'm not crazy."

Eichen House is a mental health treatment facility. And Lydia may see dead people, it was real and totally supernatural.

"Oh, absolutly, my apologies if it comes out wrong. I was saying I know a banshee residing here, Meredith Walker, it could probably help you train your powers to seek help of a peer."

"Oh. In this case, I appreciate your help," the girl said, losing her coldness.

Well, since she got this power, she better used it or someone may manipulate her again.

So, Lydia was warming to the trio and Derek, who she abducted without her knowing, but she finally left them at the same time Derek chose to go home. When the trio wanted to follow, because they're not sure where Kate was, Satomi stopped them as Allison need to train to control her wolf.

"What to you mean?"

"Well, I heard that you're schooling in San Francisco and as I can't travel and leaving my pack behind, who got most of their life in Beacon Hills, you had to train to be werewolf during those two last days of spring break before leaving."

"How long would it take? I can already control my heartbeat to not wolf out at ramdom."

"And what about full moon?"

"What about full moon?"

"Well, you were lucky enough to be turned on full moon and on the edge of dying so your werewolf powers were concentrated on healing you, but for the next full moon, you're going to need an anchor to help."

Realization fell on the newly turned werewolf and she looked stunned.

"So, not only I'll go berserk on my periods once a month, now I'm a werewolf, it's grown to twice a month?"

"You just resumed perfectly female werewolf," Lori agreed.

Allison punched Theo in the arm so fast he barely registered.

"Thanks, Theo. If Scott's injured, I'm taking revenge on you."

"Well, if you're that worried to harm him twice a month because of losing control, just remove your female part. It'd lessen the charge in half since it's the most uncontrollable thing."

"That was mysoginic."

"Glad to see someone else realizing what a prick you are."

"It wouldn't be a problem if you were a Chimera, you're not really a supernatural but do gain their power."

"So it's what you are? A Chimera?"

Oops.

Allison spend the rest of the day training her wolf and finding her anchor under Scott's amazed eyes. While Lori was dying to know what a Chimera was.

"So you're part-werewolf and part-werecoyote? What's the difference?"

"Well, I'm faster than you average wolf since coyote are the fastest animal and greater predator. So, as I'm both of the greatest predator, with great extra and without weakness."

"We just ask the difference between werewolf and werecoyote, calm your shit."

"Also, you said yourself that you don't know how to be an actual werewolf."

"Geez, I was just explaining the catch to be a Chimera, no need to be harsh."

"You're really insufferable," Loru sighed then exchanged a look with her brother.

"What are you doing?"

"What are we doing?"

"You're doing this look thing between siblings. I know, I used to do that with my sister before..."

He didn't finish, realizing where his thoughts where leading.

"Anyway, that's it?"

"Actually, no. We need to use your werewoyote part for something."

Brett was frowning like he wasn't sure about his little sister's choice. But he eventually shrugged and explained what they wanted from him.

"So, you want me to attire the coyote running in the forest because it's hunted by a human hunter because it's actually a werecoyote?"

"Yup, pretty much."

"If it's really a werecoyote as you think it is, why don't you ask your alpha to roar at it?"

"We can't!" Lori stated fiercely. "She didn't know."

"And you know, because?"

"We highly suspected it." So they actually weren't even sure about the supernatural part. "But we're also buddhist and we can't really let the human hunt it."

"So, are you going to show us your mighty power of werecoyote or not?"

Since the guy's so smug, a little praise could catch his attention, right? Seemed like Theo had a need to prove himself.

The five of them (with the addtion of the cute and lovely couple of human-werewolf) go to the other side of the preserve, where there was a ranch, belonging to the human hunter of werecoyote.

"Why is he hunting it anyway?"

"Fight me if I know, he wasn't an easy man to talk."

"OK, we're going to part here. Allison and Scott, you go distract the hunter, as respectively hunter and human and Brett and Lori, you keep my clothes."

The siblings and the couple shot a him a weird glance but then froze when he undressed. And not just the top, pants and shoes and underwear fell too and he was naked under their wide eyes. Then, without missing a beat, he shifted into a brown wolf and sprinted into the woods.

"Can I do that too?"

"What? Getting naked or full shift?"

"If full shifting means getting naked, then both?"

"Well, I heard Derek's mother have the capacity of full shift but it wasn't something everyone could do."

"Too bad..."

Scott's face fell at Allison's thoughtful look but then Lori pushed them out as they had to do their part of the plan.

"He's well build."

"Oh my god," Lori sighed while half-laughing.

Later, after dissuading the hunter to chase the coyote while wolf Theo's chasing it, Brett decided to check as it took longer than expected. And with reason, he huffed exiting the woods with a brown wolf.

"He was mating with!" Talbot groaned.

"Well, someone got to enjoy themself," Lori commented sarcastilly. "Did you find out if it was a werecoyote, at least?"

"How could he? He was too lost in his orgasm to remember his plan!"

"Chill, it was the mating season for coyote and wolf, I was just doing my job as full shifted."

His explanation was ponctuated by him dressing back in his clothes that Scott neatly folded. Lori kind of regretted not letting them on the floor. He deserved it for not going according to the plan.

"So, it wasn't a werecoyote?"

"No idea, but it did felt connection with my werecoyote part even though I looked more like a wolf when full shifted."

"So, how was it to fuck when full shifted?"

"Weird. I'm not really used to full shift, even less mate in this form."

"Oh my god. Does this count as zoophilia since he was in his wolf form?" Allison gulped.

Theo shot her a dark look but the group was thinking seriously.

"But then, we did it for nothing. The hunter will just start hunting the coyote again once we left and he would do it easily as the animal is impregnated."

"If it was a female."

"Like you'd do it with a male."

"What would I know? I was in my wolf form, I wasn't even conscious of my act till you find me."

"But if it was a female, which most certainly is as they let you do the work, they're going to give birth in two months."

"If it was a real coyote and not a were." Theo enjoyed breaking the news.

"So a werecoyote couldn't give birth even full shift?"

"You'll have to discover it," Theo ended the discussion. "Look at the good side! If it's really a female and she'd give brith in two months, she wouldn't risk it by sprinting in the woods and get caught by the hunter, hence ending her future baby!"

"But if it was a male, and a were, he could still be skipping into the woods and get hunted by mister Tate's hunting skills. And the man isn't an amateur as he was hunting the animal for seven years!" Allison called him out.

"Well, my job ends here. Besides, he didn't catch after seven years hunting it."

"Not only you insufferable but you're not even helpful."

The girls exchanged a look, agreeing, but Scott defended his friend.

"Theo couldn't do the impossible! He already did what he could!"

And that's why everyone love Scott.

"He was just enjoying himself."

And this was why Brett is a killjoy.

The trio returned to San Francisco after spending the last day with Lydia and knowing more about the girl, who was actually mathematically gifted, and promised the pack to be careful. It was a good thing that Derek and Lydia could count on Satomi pack, even if Lydia had to see the siblings after school as they did not attend the same high school, the siblings being in a private school at Davenford Prep.

* 

Four months passed and a school year ended. And a family.

The Argents uncovered Allison's secret. As they never taught her anything about their lineage, they didn't ask her to end her life (neither did they want to) but they cut all contact with and Allison won't have anything to do with the Argents hunters. At least she didn't tell them anything about Kate, who may or may not end her life since the bite and not having given sign of life. The only things she inherited from the Argents was given by her aunt, the heirloom pendant and the bestiary (and also some of her skills to hunt).

Now she's forced emancipated and living with Scott who promised his dad to not get distracted by her presence, neither getting her pregnant and still working in the animal clinic to help with the fee. Allison and Theo were also working since he turned sixteen in April and they're colleagues in the cosy coffee shop, saving enough for another trip to Beacon Hills.

Who would know they arrival matched the one of the Alpha pack?

Certainly not Derek when he saw them at his door while he was fighting the terrible Ennis.

"Are you two his betas?"

"Definitely no. I don't have anything with him," Allison denied immediatly with a disgust look.

Theo was wrinkling distatefully his nose. He's not beta of anyone.

That distracted enough the bestial alpha and Derek shove him out of his window and they heard a crash and a curse but otherwise, the alpha seemed to have left the building. The empty loft with a hole in the bay window looked painfully messy.

"What are you doing here?" The lonely alpha grumbled.

"Asking to crash. We didn't feel like spending the summer holiday in San Francisco with Scott's absent dad and Allison's hunters parents."

"What about yours?"

"MIA."

Derek and Allison looked suspiciously at him.

"Not anymore questions and I won't lie to you."

"You're such a mystery."

"Because you're not? Who was that man?"

"Well, as you saw, my place isn't really safe. It seems I had contracted some enemies who want my life of rather alpha statut."

"But it's the only place that could fit us all. Like, we can't really ask Lydia to crash at her house as the Martin already had money issues."

The mother and the daughter already sold their lake house belonging to the paternal grandmother to the Whittemore (who also succeed to sell off the Stilinski house by any means) and the mrs Martin was working in the high school as biology teacher at the death of the last one, mr Harris.

"And we can't really ask help of my alpha, she's already busy with the pack."

It would actualy be the logical thing to do but Scott and Theo did save Derek's life once and as fellow werewolf, he did want to help Allison, so he let them crash two of his bedrooms, empty of furniture, of course.

"So, what's the deal again?"

Because, of course, Beacon Hills' striked of murder, again.

"This time, there's serie of three death, sort of like a ritual, according to Deaton."

Scott's head picked up at the name. Who would have thought the vetenarian he admired was actually a druid and emissary of the Hale pack? Before they get out of the town last time, Deaton explained some thing to Scott and seemed fond enough to want to train him as future emissary.

"Rituals could only be performed by druids, right? But since most druids ended up being emissary to advice werewolf, they couldn't do something as ruthless to take people's life. Then, it's a counter part?" Allison guessed, thanks to her bestiary.

"Indeed. Deaton said it could be a Darach. The dark counterpart. They used a sacrificial ritual in five steps, there was a celtic five fold knot on the Nemeton where the sacrifice where found."

"Was Lydia the one finding them?"

"You know the answer. But she didn't walk to the Nemeton, thanks to Meredith's training otherwise she'd be caught by the Darach. She determined how the Darach worked, each group of victim had something in common. The first one got three virgins, the second three warriors and the third three healers."

"Nine deaths."

"Yeah, with blow in the head, sliced throat and strangulation by garrot."

"You wouldn't happen to know what the next three would be?"

"Nop. And I don't have time to chat with you, I'm waited elsewhere."

"Why? Do you have a date?"

His silence was enough.

"Oh my, you're sure she's not a mass murder secretly?"

Derek glared at Allison, who knew the story because of her bonding time with Kate, and Scott apologized for his girlfriend behavior. Because it stinged.

"We're looking out for you," Theo chiled. "I mean, you're certainly attractive but not with this dark look, so if she accepted this part, either she has a plan or she's maso."

"She could have seen Derek's good side," Scott chimed, always the kind one.

"Which one are you talking about? I'm not sure we're talking about the same person."

"Stop being mean. But I do want to know how she put up with you," Allison inquired.

The older just rolled his eyes.

"I saved her from an omega."

"What happened to the omega?"

"Cut in half by Gerard Argent."

"Who's that?" Allison gasped.

"You don't know your grandfather?"

"Well, I didn't even know my family was hunters until four months ago. And once my parents discovered my lycanthropia they didn't want to tall me aything about, especially the taking off my own life, so..."

"Well, he's psychotic and didn't follow your code to hunt those who hunt you and killed every werewolf on sight, vision he taught his daughter, Kate. At least, his son's the correct one."

Then, the two werewolf exchanged an understanding look before Derek's leaving.

"Wait, then, where's Gerard, now?" Theo's crunching his nose.

He didn't like to not knowing.

"The darach attacked him after the second sacrifice and he's now in hiding and recovering."

"Lori! Brett!" Allison greeted them with happiness.

Scott also hugged them, because Lori's friendly and because he played Lacrosse with Brett. But the siblings ony shot a glare to Theo before showing his the reason.

"Aw, they're so cute!" Allison awed at the sight of five baby coyotes.

"So, it was a female."

"And a werecoyote! The pregnancy took four months instead of the usual two and not finding her mate that impregnated her, she gave me all her litters because she remembered my scent."

"When you cockblocked us."

"Oh, if you're assuming your role, it's only legitimate that you took care of your offspring, right?"

"Well, now, it did sound zoophilia."

"Not helping, Ally."

"Like come on, why don't she take care of them, herself? It's useful, coyotes."

"Tell her that yourself! Like you said, she's so fast I couldn't catch her, and there were five fricking cubs!"

"But I'm more of cat person."

"Isn't that ironic for a canine chimera?"

"It's not like I chose." Seeing their thoughtful look, he cut short their possible questions. "Fine, I'll take care of them and trained them as the greatest predator and perfect familiar."

The next day, they met with Lydia who watched carefully the five coyotes.

"And they couldn't take human form?"

"Don't think so? They were born from a coyote form mother..."

"Where she is, anyway?"

"Huh, still in the wood?"

The deadpan look she shot at him was peculiarly insulting. As Lydia get into the supernatural world, she started exchanging with the trio a lot, and her conversation with Theo were especially heat as they were discussing science with Scott adding sometime his opinion. He could easily say they were basically on the same level of smartness, so yeah, her look saying how much he disappointed her was hurting.

"Then, why don't we go find her?"

"You just want a break with all those sacrifices, right?"

"You have no idea."

They head to the preserve as the Talbot and the Rohr told them where the werecoyote took off. Because, well, after giving birth, she did have more will to live and it wouldn't happen with the hunter still in his ranch area.

"How are we going to find her? Should you howl or roar?"

Scott wasn't directing it at someone specifically but as he's between two shifters who could do both, his two friends answered him.

"Well, a howl in the midday would worry whoever heard it so I opted for."

"Well, then do it, because I'm certainy not howling," Ally snorted.

She may be a werewolf she didn't want to act bestialy.

Theo howled and something between the trees shifted. however before they could localized it, Lydia screamed. It shocked everyone, but those with super hearing got more damage.

"W-what?"

"Derek," Lydia gasped.

"What about him?" Theo mumbled while retrieving the coyote caught by the scream.

"Well, I'm a banshee, why do you think I screamed for? Derek's obviously in danger."

"Oh, you're a dangere radar, now? And where is he?"

Good point.

They didn't got any new from Derek till nightfall. They were in apha Satomi's lair with the pack, when Derek came in. He wasn't hurt, not physically, but he got this crestfallen look.

"Jennifer's the darach."

They didn't know who's Jennifer.

"Wait, you mean, Jennifer Blake? The new english teacher? Your girlfriend?" Lydia prompted.

"Oh, hun, I'm sorry," Allison whispered.

She did make fun of him yesterday, but the truth still hurt.

"Did she tell you why she's doing it?"

She need power to stop the alpha pack lead by Deucalion. The one who ordered Ennis to attack Derek to test his strentgh, then killed him off because for some reason and then he deceived the others alpha of his pack so they attack Derek again, but he was with Jen... well, actually Julia Baccari, one of the alpha's former druid, who was seeking revenge and killed off Kali, the said alpha. Then, she also snapped the neck of a merged alpha, who was actually the combination of twins but they survived, but when she went to attack Deucalion, the alpha of alpha, she wasn't strong enough so she made other sacrifices.

"Great, three more deaths."

"She said she will keep going on till Deucalion's dead because of his barbaric method."

"Which are killing of his own?"

"But for a reason."

Everyone got on their guard at the new voice.

"Please, don't bother you're not fighter if I'm not wrong."

"What are you doing here, Deucalion? Wanting me to join your alpha pack?" Satomi spoke up.

"Well, not really, I doubted you're willing to kill your kind." He slide a look on the pack behind his shade.

"Wait, you're blind?" Theo guessed.

"Well guessed. What gave me out?"

"Your shade?" Lydia chimed.

"I wasn't always blind. But thanks to Gerard Argent, I lose my sight and ended up killing off my pack in self defence, now my goal is to create the strongest pack."

"Of course, it's Gerard," Allison sighed, already knowing where it'd lead.

"And who are you?"

"Allison Argent, his granddaughter. And if you think about taking me as hostage, I have to warn you that as I didn't know he was alive, I doubted he knows about me."

"Like we're going to let you touch one of us," Brett added.

"Brave, but I also doubted Gerard would pay attention to a werewolf relative. But now, that the darach killed off Kali, one of the strongest of the alpha and sacrificed three philosophers, her next move will be strategic and I need Derek Hale to work with me."

"You're gonna use him as leverage?"

"Tempting, but too easy to fight off. No, you're gonna convinced her to heal my blindness with her healing power she gained after the three sacrifices of the healers."

"What's the catch?" Theo pushed up.

"I may stop gathering alpha for my pack and live like a visionnary I used to be."

"Really? I remembered my mom saying you were that kind of person before losing sight."

In every way that term meant.

"But Jennifer will listen to me?"

"Well, she did heal you when you were injured badly by Kali and the twins and said she own you her life because you kill a virgin on the Nemeton."

"You sacrificed a virgin too?"

It wasn't on purpose. It was his girlfriend at that time and Peter (him again!) convinced him that if she take the bite from Ennis, they live happily after, but she rejected the bite and he had to kill her to apease her death. And Kali happened to mauled her druid near the Nemeton, were Julia/Jennifer used this spark of power to maintain her life.

"Use her emotion to bind her to you."

"That's Machiavellian."

"Name's Deucalion. But I'm flattered you think I'm the same level to this admirable author."

Funny.

But by the time they caught on the darach, she already completed the ritual by sacrificing three guardians. Thankfully, her feelings for Derek were genuine enough and she took the time to listen what he wanted to say. But when she laughed when he said he still have feelings for her because Deucalion must be behind it and will jumped out and attacked her, Derek just look quietly at her and she showed him her true face, not the darach one, not even the Jennifer Blake one with glamor, but the one she bear as Julia Baccaria and nearly mauled to death by Kali.

"You're still beautiful, just like the rest of you," he echoed his mother's words when she first saw his blue eyes.

Because it's true. Even with all her scars, she's still a good-looking woman that he fell for her quirk and character and not her physics.

Moved, Jennifer decided to trust him and healed Deucalion's eyes, who was leaving to kill Gerard who was in hidding. But then, the twins came and warned them about Gerard. Irritated to be interruptions, Jennifer killed off the hunter with her boost power.

"Everything ended well, then?"

"Just, what about the werecoyote?"

The werecreature growled at the group and glowered her blue eyes. Better not be on her bad side if she already killed.

The only one she tolerated was Theo, because his scent remind him confort and her kind.

(and also because they had some... Affairs...) 

 

Previous

Following

It was close to midnight when someone knocked on the MCCALL's door.

Scott went to open it because he was still awake and because his mother raised him well and to always help your neighbors in need.

But Sheriff was on the other side with a grim look.

Just like that, his life took an unexpected turn.

*

Melissa MCCALL died.

Her funeral was held one summer day and probably way too sunnier for the event. All her colleagues from the Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital were there and with some of Scott's close friend, who happened to be just Stiles, the Sheriff's son. His father was there too.

Rafael McCall was estranged of his ex-wife and son for nearly a decade because of some argument when the kid was so young he didn't remember.

Scott barely recognized him among all the figures giving condoleances. But when he hugged him, the teenager nearly broke in tears for the first time in days.

He couldn't cry when he saw her corpse, he couldn't cry when he had to help for the funeral and he certainly couldn't cry when Stiles was next to him and conforting him. His friend lost his mother too, and him considering Melissa like a surrogate mother was like losing a mother a second time, so Scott had to keep his head up and not cry or his world would crumble.

But now, in his father's arms, he found the feeling of home again.

Nothing's fixed, his mother passed away and he probably would be under Rafael's charge. It'd probably complicated things as he's a FBI agent locate in San Francisco, but for now, it's enough.

*

Stiles didn't want him to go.

He said and insisted that the Stilinski could adopt him, as they were already like brother, it would be just be officially on the paper now. Besides, it wasn't like agent McCall could raise him with his full time job and after all the years apart.

He was so adamant that Scott nearly conceded just to make him OK and less fidgety even if Sheriff was hesitant and not sure he could afford to raise two teenagers instead of one. But then, Rafael -no- his dad spoke up and assured his guard.

He gave him an emotional speech with lame words but the feelings were there, in his broken look and watery eyes and because, he loved his family and he's going to protect him no matter what. Scott moved in with him in San Francisco.

It was awkward at first.

His dad's appartement wasn't small but not really suit for two men, one still underage, but Rafael did everyhting to make him confortable. They brought his bike, the one he used to ride to school, and all his things he'd need while attending high school in San Francisco. Rafael having applied him in the local school and he even made the effort to cook dinner for them. It wouldn't last, because he's still agent in the law enforcement, a federal not least, but he asked days off for losing his - ex- wife so it's understandable.

They didn't sell the MCCALL house since there were still things inside, but they didn't know what to do, so it will stay there, at Beacon Hills, for a while.

They stayed two days to get used to live together after all those years, but then they had to return to social life again. Rafael in the office and Scott in school.

"Scott. Tomorrow, I probably get home late, with the paperworks. I put the moneys so you can order dinner, OK?"

"Sure, thanks dad."

"You're welcome. If you need anything, you can call me."

"Got it. Good night."

"'Night."

Scott couldn't fall asleep so he started playing all the scenarii of what will happen in his first day. He missed the first week with the funeral and the move, and he's never been in city school. He'll be awkward, certainly, but probably not that surrounded.

*

Like he expected, he didn't make any friend.

The school's principal was quite friendly with him and introduced his school in a great light but from what he saw in the corridor, it seemed to be like all the high school in teen movie, just in a big city like San Francisco.

Stiles called him every nights. He told him how lonely he felt without his best friend and mourned the change in their life and just kept repeating how he missed his partner. Scott said the same and that his new high school was so much different from Beacon Hills, and not just because of the place. The class, the teachers, and even the sport. People played american football and only swear to that. And there was a cheerleading team.

Stiles reassured that none of them could be as beautiful and smart as Lydia.

Scott hung up thinking that he felt really lonely. And his dad's home very late, when he's already asleep even if he wasn't tired.

*

A week after his first day, he finally got to speak to one of the students. The first meeting was catastrophic to say.

He bumped into this girl at the exit of this hugely known waffle house, making her drop her drink and her pastry on her jacket. Probably and brand new, but nobody will ever thik that after this slip.

No surprise he got blazed, but by the girl's friend and not the girl herself, who was just too shoked. His apologizes were dismissed coldly by the victim.

Allison, her friends called her. 

"Whatever, it's not like he could repay it."

OK, he probably deserved it, but still, talking about the person in front of her was rude.

"Be careful, next time," Allison told him not kindly.

And here he wanted to have some break with a nice dessert. Feeling awful, he decides to make it up and saved the money his dad gave him so he could buy the girl, Allison in his econ class, some nice jacket. Not as expensive as her ruined one but one that would also suited her perfectly.

He mustered his courage and talked to her after class, when her friend weren't there, not wanting to be treated harshly again.

"Hey, Allison, can I have a word, please?"

Her gentle smile fell a little when recognizing him, but her expression froze when she understood what he's doing.

"Oh... thank you..."

"Scott," he supplied.

"Thank you, Scott. Hm... I think I own you an apology too. I shouldn't have treat you so badly, even if you deserved it for your slip. But you didn't do it on purpose and it wasn't nice of me to talk about you just in front of you."

"Well, apology accepted, Allison. I see you around."

Satisfied with himself, Scott let her and went to his next class.

He thought that was it. Because even if the girl's pretty, she's also fiery and that's not what he needed right now. He just want to pass class, not wasting his dad's money by applying him in the city school, and do good job in the clinic (he applied after school in the animal clinic, reminding him of his plan to apply to Beacon Hills Animal Clinic, and save money, except he wasn't sixteen yet so he's just a trainee. For now.). Too bad for the sport, guess he just going to settle with some jogging early in the morning.

But then, they got more exchange because of school project, And Allison's nice when one learn to know her.

They start hanging out more, without her friends, who barely allow his presence during lunch break. They chatted a lot (somehow his mom's death came up and Allison felt even worse being cold while he was grieving, but Scott's a sunshine and she decided to be careful around new meetings, because everyone has its own battle, so always be kind), during their alone time to work on the project, by texts, and they just hit it off.

They go jogging together now!

A month after the start of their relationship (friendship, calm down) , Scott had to touch some word to Stiles, what kind of friend he'd be if he didn't. Stiles was excited for him to finally have a friend to hang out with, to laugh with, to just live with! But Scott noted the sour tone behind his words.

"No, it's just, well, I miss you."

"Well, you're still my best friend, you could always call and text me."

"Yeah, sure, bro."

He starts cooking too. With his pay, he buy some recipe sbook and cooked dinner for his dad and him, even if the adult would be here late or they barely see each other, like they expected if Rafael's going to raise him. But the morning after his first try in cooking, his dad gave him a compliment by post-it. Not wanting to woke him up just to show his joy, he answered back on the post-it. Since then, they started exchanging by post-it when they couldn't see each other.

It wasn't good, not yet, the loss of Melissa still so fresh in their heart, but it's starting to be fine. They could do it.

And he could do it with (pretty, wonderful, amazing) Allison.

After several months of morning jogging, the Argents, appalled to learn that their daugher's running partner in the early hour of the day was a boy, invited Scott to their house, for a family dinner. It was during winter break, Scott didn't have better to do other than working and doing his homework or cooking for his dad who didn't have holidays, so he accepted. How wrong of him.

The Argents immediately thought they were dating, they weren't (not yet) and the tension dropped considerably when it was stated after Allison's aunt's, Kate, comment.

Later, unbeknownst to him, Kate encouraged Allison to ask him out.

As he knew that Allison was the tough girl, he was barely surprised she asked him out, just that she was actually interested in him like he was. They got their first date as couple in ice rink (and unsurprisingly, he sucked).

He was so excited he called Stiles to tell him. But Stiles also had something to tell him.

"Scott, my dude! I was going to call you too! I have some juicy news for you!"

Even if he was overjoyed, Scott waited for his friend to speak first. He did say he didn't feel right lately, so hearing him excited remind him his usually quirky best friend and that made him glad too.

"You know how you always said nothing's ever happening in Beacon Hills? Well, jokes on you, a body was found in the preserve! And not any kind of body, a half body!"

Scott didn't let him finish the rest of his diatribe because he knew his friend, his annoyingly infuriate friend who like to go against authority.

"Wait, wait, Stiles! You're not thinking about checking it by yourself, right?"

There's a pause. He was thinking about it.

"Do not go looking for the dead body-"

"Half dead body!"

"-Half dead body, alone, in the preserve, at night!"

Another beat of silence.

"You're right. If only you were there," the hyperactif sighed.

Making him sighed too. "Stiles..."

"I know, bro. I promised not to run into the preserve, at night, but I will find more about this case and keep you update."

"Stiles."

"What?"

"Not in the preserve in daylight, too."

"Fine!"

"I love you, Stiles."

"I love you too, bro."

He didn't got the chance to told him about Allison, though.

Stiles kept his words. While Scott was struggling in history and doing homeworks with Allison (by sneaking on the Argents parents because they still thought they're just friends, oops? Besides, they wouldn't know as they're in trip while leaving Allison to Kate's charge who adviced them to use protection. Yikes.), Stiles send him texts about how the case of this half-corpse is going on.

It belonged to one of their inhabitants. Well, former, as she's not only dead but also did move out six years ago because of her family and house burning down. She, Laura Hale, and her brother Derek got out of Beacon Hills after the case was closed as incidental gaz exhaust. Seemed that she should have better stayed out of the town since her return ended up with her death. To his brother's pain. 

(Well, that's how Scott translated it as most of Stiles' texts were swearing and how unhelpful the brother was.) (9.4.2020)

Scott was starting to worry very much when nearly a month passed and the amount of deceases were increasing. He asked how the Sheriff's going and Stiles said tired but to lighten the mood, he said that Jerk Jackson was attacked and incapacipated for a while, so he took his place in the lacrosse team (His glee was also because Jackson Whittemore is Lydia's boyfriend). Allison was also showing sign of discomfort at her parents prolonged absence but auntie Kate's here to sooth her and keeping them entertain, as young adult (something Argents parents and papa McCall wouldn't approve).

Besides, it's be Allison's birthday, so the teens need to change idea.

Scott was surprized to learn that Allison's actually a year older than him, but quickly understood when Kate complained about her constant moving causing her to be held back. He also learned that the Argent were actually a French family, as Kate explained her birthday present in form of silver pendant, a family heirloom, representing a wolf and a fleur-de-lis (even if history isn't his favorite class, he remembered the flower and found it matching Allison really well). Kate then let them alone with all the stuff teenagers needed when alone (protection!). 

If the start of the night was awkward due to Kate's comment, they eventually eased and made out and more.

Tomorrow, they could easily say neither of them were virgin anymore.

But Scott couldn't wait the next day to tell his best friend. Except, Stiles wasn't answering.

He tried again the following morning and nearly missed his first class (but totally missed his early running date with his girlfriend). He left a vocal message for his blood brother because with all the murders, he's really worried now.

But now, he had to go in class and apologize for having ditched Allison. Who got his agitated state once he told her about his best friend not answering while the town he lived is overrun by a serial killer. She tried to sooth him by saying maybe Stiles forgot his phone somewhere, maybe his father confiscated it as he did something against law. By the end of the day, he was calm enough to make out quickly with her and reassure her back about her parents, who did contact her. Somathibg was making auntie Kate disgruntled, though.

Later that night, he called and let a dozen of message asking his best friend to at least send him a text via another phone to reassure him that he's still alive. Finally, he called the Sheriff, just to be sure if he didn't confiscate his phone or the phone wasn't dead of lost, or whatever. He just need to know Stiles' OK.

"Oh, Scott," the Sheriff sighed tiredly.

Scott didn't know how to take it.

"Sheriff? Is... is Stiles alright?"

"To be honest, I don't even know. He... he's missing since yesterday. The school said he went to class and the coach even said he was in the game, he played, Scott! But then... not news. Nothing!"

"Oh, Stiles... I- I'm sorry, Sheriff."

"No, no, it's alright. My boy's so lucky to have you as friend who checked on him even across the State. I updated you if we found anything."

"Yeah, OK... You're going to find him, Sheriff, and everything would be OK."

"I hope so, son."

They ended the call. And Scott was blaming himself for not detering his stubborn best friend in this murduring case.

A text came in and he smiled brokenly at his girlfriend's text, trying to confort her by saying everything would be OK. But the truth was he didn't know and wished strongly that everything would be fine.

He called his dad.

He didn't want to bother or even alarm him, but he need someone to confort him. Rafael seemed to sense there was something wrong because he got home earlier and spent the night with his son. Thinking that maybe Melissa's absence got him.

Scott was quite ashamed to realize that his mother's death didn't stab him in the heart like it used to. Like, he's still hurt when it brought up but not too much, now, four months after living without her. However, conbining Stiles' missing and his mom, Scott broke in tears.

His dad even let him miss school if it could help him, but as responsible student, Scott insisted to go. Just not wanting to trouble his father or worry Allison.

Nonetheless, his mind wasn't in lessons.

Allison insisted to spend the night with him and even Kate saw his distress. So he decided to unpack some of his problem to an outside ear. But Kate just seemed oddly interested in the town name, Beacon Hills. She eventually told him to take some rest and not to worry too much since he didn't have any news.

*

The Argents came back but Scott barely registered the info as his world crumbled down at Sheriff's call.

Stiles' dead.

They find his body near the Hale burned house in the outskirt of the preserve, half a week after his reported missing person. He seemed to be attacked by a wild animal, maybe a montain lion, by the bite on his arm and suffered a lot at his pained look on his last breath. He was probably trying to hide himself inside the mansion but he got attacked and die instantly, not having the time to call of help as showed by the phone in his hand. His corpse was rigided and so dirtied by the mud they barely recognized him.

Scott's dad asked a week off to the school for his son so he can attended the funeral, and three days at his office so he could be here for him.

At Beacon Hills, he send the former sheriff in intensive care after the funeral as he was devasted by the loss of his last family and sold the McCall house, not wanting to have bad memory to his son. He would have done the same for the Stilinski house but it wasn't really his choise, even if the actual person couldn't even make a decision.

Scott didn't say anything as he was also in great pain. He got his friend's phone as memory and checked his texts where an unsend message caught his attention. Something about Lydia. Wanting to take care of his brother's last wish, he checked on the girl who was hospitalized as she was also attacked and bitten by a wild animal after the lacrosse game where Stiles disappeared. He tried to put all the strings together but thinking about Stiles was just painful so he just let some flower and recovery message for Lydia and left. The week came eventually to its end ans he couldn't even say goodbye to the last Stilinski since he was in shock.

As he returned to San Francisco, his dad told him that all the funding the McCall house's worthed were on his personal account that he could use when he want, preferably when he's major. Otherwise, he could ask some money or use his pay from the animal clinic.

Allison was there to welcome him.

"I'm here."

And he's going to need her presence and some fresh air.

Her parents didn't even comment their closeness since they returned from their business trip, which then lead to Kate's absence, but they did hear some things so they let him mourn, even if that meant letting them close (too close for just friends to their eyes).

Life kept going on and Scott was getting better as the days were passing, thanks to Allison and this new guy.

Theo.

He's a transferred student during his absence in Beacon Hills and shared a lot of class with Allison. Seeing her sad look, he tried to cheer her up and learned a little about her boyfriend who remind him of his childhood friend. Turned out, they really did know each other.

Theo was friend with him and Stiles in fourth grade, so the guy was also saddened by the loss and proposed they go together in spring break to give him a last goodbye, and with a little luck, learned more about this murdering case the hyperactif was investigating on his own.

Also agreed by Allison, they decided to head to Beacon Hills in the next holidays.

4th January 2012 at 10:07

Hayden Romero say :

well fuck

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Language, young lady

 

Josh Diaz say :

For real, Tracy?

 

Theo Raeken say :

She certainly is better on text than you

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Thanks for the back up, Theo

 

At 11:00

Corey Bryant say :

What's the commotion anyway?

 

Hayden Romero say :

Dunbar got transferred here. And guess what? I've got history, chemistry and maths class with him now.

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Well, you guys certainly got history.

 

Theo Raeken say :

And if he annoys you, you could use the history book to knock him out.

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Dear lord, don't give her idea

 

Josh Diaz say :

Wait, wait, you mean Liam Dunbar, the guy who punched you in sixth grade the day of taking yearbook photo?

 

Hayden Romero say :

Glad to see you got some memories but you'd be the other end of the punch if you mentionned this ever again.

 

Corey Bryant say :

Come to think about it, you also do have chemistry.

 

At 12:41

Hayden Romero say :

Can't believe he's actually in the Lacrosse team. Now, I have to see him during practice too?

 

Theo Raeken say :

That does sound funny. Want us to cheer on you after school?

 

Hayden Romero say :

That's not funny Theo.

 

Theo Raeken say :

I think it is.

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Sure, Theo.

You want to stay after school so you can make fun of Hayden, it's certainy have nothing to do with those two bench players that you call your childhood friends.

 

Josh Diaz say :

You're still pinning about McCall and Stilinski?

Sack up dude! I mean, you're totally not the kind of guy who shies away, so why don't you go and talk to them ?

And remind them how a wonderful ass you are?

 

Theo Raeken say :

Easy with the use of words.

You wouldn't like to have your ass kicked.

 

Hayden Romero say :

I certainly wouldn't mind if it happens

 

Corey Bryant say :

Kinky, Hayden

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Oh my lord.

 

Hayden Romero say :

Not that way, and you know it, Corey

 

Corey Bryant say :

Do I?

 

Josh Dias say :

Anyway, I'd only come watch today's practice if Theo's hype enough to remind those two peeholes who's the boss

 

Theo Raeken say :

Then, it's settle.

 

Tracy Stewart say :

You got some cheerleaders, Hayden.

 

Hayden Romero say :

Thanks ig

If only you're really here to support me...

 

Corey Bryant say :

We are dw we gotchu

 

At 15:17

Tracy Stewart say :

Well, at least, Dunbar's cute

 

Corey Bryant say :

Yeah, but got that jock's image

 

Josh Diaz say :

Why you guys're on the chat like you're not sitting next to each other

 

Theo Raeken say :

So Hayden got felt out.

Geez, Josh, learn to read between the lines

 

Josh Diaz say :

look whos talking

 

At 17:19

Tracy Stewart say :

OMG! Hayden, you'd never believe who's going to cheer for Dunbar from now. That's right, our lil' Corey!

 

Hayden Romero say :

WHAT?

 

Corey Bryant say :

That's not what happened, Tracy!

 

Theo Raeken say :

It sure does look like it

 

Corey Bryant say :

Not you too, Theo

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Again, thanks for the back up, Theo

 

Josh Diaz say :

Chill, he's just high cause McCall smiles at him

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Well, yeah, McCall did notice him over the Argent girl he's pinning 

That's some improvement

 

Hayden Romero say :

Guys, back to the main talk.

Are you going to explain, Corey?

 

Corey Bryant say :

I was just chatting with his friend Mason cheering on him at the bleacher

 

Josh Diaz say :

And he clearly did get to know him

 

Hayden Romero say :

Oh, that's it? Well, Mason's decent unlike his friend

and definitely gay.

 

Josh Dias say :

Think that we got it by the way they talk eagerly

 

Tracy Stewart say :

What was the word he used again?

 

Theo Raeken say :

Intense

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Yeah, right. 'Intense'.

 

Josh Diaz say :

Attaboi

 

Hayden Romero say :

Oh, and I think Mason's from a wealthy family

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Go go go!

 

Theo Raeken say :

Don't urge things or go clubbing

 

Tracy Stewart say :

No, Theo, you should advice him to have some condom and safe sex

 

Corey Bryant say :

I hate you all

 

Hayden Romero say :

Nah, you love us. Hopefully your crush on Mason won't surpass it

 

5th January 2012 at 12:21

Hayden Romero say :

Really, Corey? Really?

'Just chatting with and getting to know Mason'?

There you go enrolling to lacrosse team while you're more individual sport than team sport

Just chatting, my ass

 

Josh Diaz say :

Yeet

Why don't you just go and wave with the 'notice me Mason' sign?

 

Theo Raeken say :

Because then every person named Mason would notice him.

 

Josh Diaz say :

Smartass

 

Theo Raeken say :

Duh

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Oh, Corey, that's so cute to do things to impress your crush but don't push yourself and feel forced to do something you do not enjoy

 

Hayden Romero say :

Yeah, lacrosse player do tend to act like unbearable Jocks like their star player

 

Theo Raeken say :

Thankfully there still are some down to earth people.

 

At 12:47

Corey Bryant say :

Well, I have you know i'm on the team as goalie

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Cheers! We better celebrate this after practice!

 

Hayden Romero say :

Yup, could be a great break for me

 

Josh Diaz say :

Were gonna raid on this fastfood

 

Theo Raeken say :

Do we not always

 

30 November 2011 at 15:25

Tracy Stewart say :

Corey, are you OK?

 

At 15:39

Theo Raeken say :

Corey?

 

Josh Diaz say :

What happen?

 

Hayden Romera say :

Trouble in paradise. Dickhead Lucas upsets Corey.

 

Josh Diaz say :

Want me to beat him up?

 

Theo Raeken say :

And make it an accident?

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Seriously, Corey. Answer us, youre freaking us out

 

At 16:01

Corey Bryant say :

Im fine

 

Hayden Romero say :

You're not. Want to hang out?

 

Corey Bryant say :

Don't you have soccer practice?

 

Hayden Romero say :

For real?

 

Josh Diaz say :

Are you seriously thinking about soccer while you're in pain?

 

Hayden Romero say :

I'd ditch school for you, Corey. Where are you? You need to hang out to change ideas.

 

Theo Raeken say :

And not in club.

 

Corey Bryant say :

too late

 

Josh Diaz say :

Comin'

 

At 23:43

Tracy Stewart say :

We love you, Corey

 

Hayden Romero say :

Yeah, and the douchebag doesn't know what he's losing.

 

Theo Raeken say :

Well, no surprise. He can't even come out. He doesn't deserve you.

 

Josh Diaz say :

youre worth sm than him

siriously

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Except for his othorgraph, Josh's right.

Besides, you have us.

 

Josh Diaz say :

We got your back, dude

 

Hayden Romero say :

As a running gag inside this group, we're family

 

Theo Raeken say :

You're better without him. You're going to find someone worthy, but that's not him

 

Tracy Stewart say :

He wasn't that attractive.

 

Corey Bryant say :

Thank you guys, I appreciate. But I rather not step into physic bashing people.

Cause that also means I don't have good taste.

 

Theo Raeken say :

I'd say you were rather desperate when choosing to date him.

You barely came out and you want to prove yourself that you don't care about people's judgement so you date the first guy having some interest in you

Which was a tactical mistake, first relationship has to mean something not to prove anything to anyone

Like we said, you worth much more than him, don't ever think the opposite again

 

Corey Bryant say :

Wow

 

Hayden Romero say :

omg

 

Josh Diaz say :

Well said, Theo!

 

Tracy Stewart say :

I'm little jealous to not be the receiving end of Theo's speech

 

Corey Bryant say :

Yea I don't even know what to say

 

Theo Raeken say :

There is nothing to say than accepting the truth

And I'm always saying the truth

 

Hayden Romero say :

Safe when you're in denial

 

Theo Raeken say :

Would you drop it

I'm not denying anything

 

Jash Diaz say :

yet

 

Hayden Romero say :

Or ever again?

 

Corey Bryant say :

Then, why don't you tell us more nice thing more often?

It really rise my self-esteem

 

Theo Raeken say :

Don't push

 

Hayden Romero say :

And here we thought you appreciate us 

 

Theo Raeken say :

I do

 

Josh Diaz say :

Prove it

 

1st December at 00:11

Tracy Stewart say :

Come on guys, don't gang up against Theo

 

Hayden Romero say :

Don't kill the mood, Trace

I'd like to have a pep talk from Theo

 

Josh Diaz say :

There's no ill intention, Theo's awe-inspiring and we'd like to have some nice review from him

 

Theo Raeken say :

Fine

Tracy, you're drop-dead gorgeous and really smart. The adults who're belittling you don't even know what they're saying, you could like totally outrank them all, but since they have more experience, they think they know all

Which we know it's not true

Hayden, your willpower never cease to impress me. And you're compassionate and strong. You're actually the most strong woman after mrs McCall and you're so protective of your loved one that makes those who aren't so pitiful

And Josh, I'm not sure what make us in the relationship we're in now

 

Josh Diaz say :

That's it? I'm feeling quite rejected here

 

Theo Raeken say :

I wasn't done

You may be a pathetic addict but you're still in our group of chimera. You're like the troublesome child to our lovely child Corey is

 

Corey Bryant say :

Thanks

 

Hayden Romero say :

I'm moved

 

Tracy Stewart say :

I have to admit I 'm equally affected

Now, it's your turn to receive some meaningful feeling coming from us

Even if we're the same age, you act like you're the responsible one of us and it's refreshing compared to our missing parents for some and abusive relatives for others. We appreciate what you're doing considering you're not stranger to that. Thank you for your dad feel

 

At 00:19

Theo Raeken say :

Stop with the dad joke

 

Hayden Romero say :

And you're totally the dad of our group

 

Tracy Stewart say :

I'm the mom

 

Josh Diaz say :

Agree

And since you're depict me as troublesome child and Corey's sweetie, we're totally the youngers to Hayden's big sis protectiveness

 

Hayden Romero say :

I can bear to be the big sis after being the lil one to my sis

 

Corey Bryant say :

That's it. You're the family I always want

The chimera family

 

Theo Raeken say :

If that's what it take for you to be in good mood

 

Corey Bryant say :

You're everything I want to be happy

Like I said, I'd totally go jail for you

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Refrain. Just

 

Josh Diaz say :

ow, come on

live a little

 

Theo Raeken say :

What I said? Troublesome

 

Hayden Romero say :

You like us

 

Tracy Stewart say :

As the mom friend, my 'I love you' made up for Theo's too

 

Corey Bryant say :

Damn right you do

Our love so pure noone can come between

 

Hayden Romero say :

That said, I have to go to bed. ily

 

Josh Diaz say :

Sleeping's for the weak

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Josh no

 

Theo Reaken say :

I'm out

 

Corey Bryant say :

Night

Love you guys

 

29 October 2011 at 10:16

Josh Diaz say :

mrs argent is a jerk

 

At 11:01

Theo Raeken say :

Indeed. She's a horrible teacher who doesn't have her place in BH.

 

At 11:04

Tracy Stewart say :

Really, Theo?

 

Hayden Romero say :

You're not saying that just because you don't like her daughter?

 

Theo Raeken say :

Please, don't make it sound I'm childish I'm not.

Beside, don't you have class?

 

Hayden Romero say :

Free period

 

Josh Diaz say :

im skippin

 

Hayden Romero say :

And clearly high at this ungoldly hour

Where are you?

 

Josh Diaz say :

the suual

 

Hayden Romero say :

Behind the bleacher, that is.

 

At 11:34

Corey Byrant say :

Don't have fun with just the two of you. Comin right away.

 

At 18:55

Theo Raeken say :

That said, we do have weirdo as teacher.

 

Josh Diaz say :

Well, it's Beacon Hills you can't expect to not have weirdo. Even us are weirdo.

 

Traccy Stewart say :

I ain't weirdo

 

Hayden Romero say :

My sis say denial could lead us on the wrong path. As someone who cares about your health (each of you), I'd recommend you to be more honest with yourself

And with us, of course

 

Corey Bryant say :

Did you seriously write us a love confession?

 

Josh Diaz say :

Sound more like a lecture, but oh well...

 

Corey Bryant say :

I'm a romantic at heart

 

Theo Raeken say :

And not just at heart

 

Tracy Stewart say :

How is that even possible?

Anyway, I may not be no weirdo, I can't be more incomprehensible than Theo.

 

Josh Diaz say :

You just prove the opposite with your answer. Your sentence can't possibly be english

 

Theo Raeken say :

Anyway, back to teachers. No adults could be more crazy than Finstock

 

Tracy Stewart say :

And that means something. This man is higher than Josh.

 

Josh Diaz say :

Please, he's like high 24/7

I only get high on the we

 

Hayden Romero say :

You wanna repeat that again?

 

Josh Diaz say :

Usually on we

 

Corey Bryant say :

When there are no annoying circumstances like today

 

Josh Diaz say :

What he said

 

At 20:37

Tracy Stewart say :

If we really are critisizing the teachers, we can't not talk about mr. Harris.

 

Theo Raeken say :

A douchebag.

 

Josh Diaz say :

World Most Terrible Teacher

 

Hayden Romero say :

Insensitive asshole

 

Corey Bryant say :

Yeah, at least, coach Finstock could be funny

 

Tracy Stewart say :

And he's also the PE teacher.

 

Theo Raeken say :

World Most Annoying Course

 

Hayden Romero say :

Nerd. 

 

Josh Diaz say :

He's right tho

 

Theo Raeken say :

Of course I am. 

 

Hayden Romero say :

Life must suck for not liking sport. 

 

Theo Raeken say :

Speak for you. 

 

Josh Diaz say :

Jock

 

Corey Bryant say :

I'm OK. I'm mean I'm fine with individual sport but quite annoyed when I have to play in team.

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Oh you sweet child. How's life with Lucas?

 

Corey Bryant say :

Fine. We usually hangout in club. 

 

Theo Raeken say :

He's taking you to club? Does he know your age? Aren't you too young to be in club?

 

Hayden Romero say :

Geez, Corey. Couldn't you wait before lashing this bomb? Papa Theodork is freaking out now. 

 

Theo Raeken say :

This is not the moment to joke. How could he take you to clubbing? You're underage!

 

Tracy Stewart say :

He's not forcing you anything, is he? 

 

Corey Bryant say :

No. The only thing forced in our relationship would be my money out of my pocket to the bouncer of Sinema

 

Josh Diaz say :

Sin ema ? ;p

Does this club allow everyone once you got the cash? Does they have a special high corner?

 

Corey Bryant say :

Well, I wouldn't know since I don't get high.

 

Josh Diaz say :

Maybe I should go with you next time. 

 

Corey Bryant say :

Fine by me if you don't embarass me in front of Lucas. 

 

Tracy Stewart say :

You mean too much? I'm pretty sure Josh's going to embarass you when he's high

 

Josh Diaz say :

Thanks for the vote of confidence. 

 

Hayden Romero say :

Does this place also hire underage since they allow underage to club? I need some money

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Guess you have to discover it at Corey's and Josh's next night out. 

 

Theo Raeken say :

Seriously ? I don't get how you youngsters think those days.

 

Josh Diaz say :

Live a little Theo

I mean, don't do drugs because I won't advise being additive to anyone but you have to have some fun

 

Corey Bryant say :

Yeah, don't be a bitter bookworm. 

I mean, books' great but you have to get out sometime.

 

Theo Raeken say :

I do, I skate. 

 

Hayden Romero say :

Yeah, but you're not that great, didn't you say it yourself? Why don't you go to the skate Park and train more?

 

Tracy Stewart say :

So you can impress girls.

 

Corey Bryant say :

Or Guys. I'd totally be impressed. 

 

Theo Raeken say :

I don't need to impress anyone. If anyone can't see how amazing I am without skating they do not deserve me.

 

Josh Diaz say :

Thanks god we met at the hospital

 

Hayden Romero say :

Whatever If you want to live in denial. Just, don't get caught when you commit crime. I wouldn't like to hear my sister that you get arrest.

 

Theo Raeken say :

Oh, don't be like that. I'm sure you guys going to help me out.

 

Josh Diaz say :

You mean break in to the sheriff's station? 

 

Tracy Stewart say :

Or bail you out?

 

Corey Bryant say :

Either way, it's a 'hell yes', right guys? 

 

Josh Diaz say :

You really a sweet kid agreeing to that

 

Corey Bryant say :

Yeah well, I'm okay to end up in jail if the reasons is for you guys

 

Hayden Romero say :

Aww. Well, I'm not. 

 

Theo Raeken say :

You ungratful kid. 

 

Tracy Stewart say :

You're tearing this family apart. 

 

At 21:58

Josh Diaz say :

Don't worry, she actually does care.
