Author's Note: This in unbeta-ed, so sorry if there are mistakes anywhere. I've been wanting to write a an OC story for Teen Wolf for a long time now, so here it is! I don't know anything about having severe asthma, so if there's anything false in here, blame google because that's where I got all the info from.

Read and review!

EDIT: This takes place near the beginning of season two, sorry I forgot to mention that.

When Judith Mahealani had her first attack, she was only twelve years old. It was during P.E, and she was running the mile for school. She'd never been much of a runner, but she was determined to get a better time that day so she could get a better grade then last time. It was at the far end of the track when she suddenly felt her chest tighten and forced her to skid to a stop, she was bent over, trying to catch her breath but she couldn't. It felt like the air was being squeezed out her lungs an she couldn't breathe. She fell to the ground, writhing in pain and trying desperately to breathe, but she just couldn't. The teacher caught sight of her, finally, and an ambulance was called.

Her lips and nails were blue by the time she was in the hospital. By sheer luck, she was still alive, but diagnosed with severe asthma. It had to be the worst possible thing ever for Judith. Her mother and father and even her brother were fiercely protective, forbidding her to do anything physical like running or playing any sports to avoid any attacks. The house was cleared of anything that could give her an attack, all the flowers were taken away, the carpets were removed and replaced with wooden floors. The carpets that weren't ripped from the floor were washed every weekend or so. Although Danny was a year older then her, he would follow her around almost everywhere, he even had her hang out with him and his friends during school, but she never really befriended many of them. The only two that got close to her were Lydia Martin and Jackson. But no matter how hard her family tried, they couldn't protect her from everything. She had three more attacks by the time she was in high school, and a life threatening one when she was a freshmen.

It didn't help that she was incredibly shy and had difficulty making friends. She basically trailed after Danny for her freshmen year, since she was basically known as the wallflower girl. She had a pathetic crush on Scott McCall, who she met through Stiles Stilinski. It was kind of cute how he had a crush on Lydia for the longest time ever. Lydia always laughed about it but Judith thought it wouldn't be that bad if they did end up getting together.

Scott was probably the only boy that wasn't her brother who gave her the time of day. Although Judith was a barely attractive girl who wore black rimmed, big glasses and always was taking a swig from her inhaler, they talked occasionally during class. Danny would always tease her about her crush, and she would respond with telling him to shut up. She actually deluded herself that she had a chance with him until Allison Argent stepped into the picture.

This girl was hands down gorgeous. She's seen prettier girls, but Allison was definitely beautiful. And just like that, she and Scott were together. It pissed Judith off, and she found herself loathing the Argent for taking Scott from her.

But then she gave herself a reality check; hell, Allison didn't take anything from her. If she were to take him from her, that would mean that Scott was, at a time, hers. And he never was. That fact only seemed to add on to the sadness that Judith felt. Her first love was stolen from her, and she spent weeks wallowing in self pity, not accepting any comfort from Lydia or even her brother. Then she slowly got over it, but unfortunately, there was a wedge in her and Scott's relationship that she felt couldn't be removed. But she wasn't angry at him, or Allison, not anymore. She started hanging out by herself in the library, but she would eat lunch with Danny; as if to assure that she was okay and didn't plan to have an attack that day.

High school was hell so far, she hated having asthma. She hated wearing glasses so that everything wasn't a big blur in front of her. She hated being the lonely loser that lived in the shadow of her older brother, only known to others a 'Danny's little sister'. She hated being a burden on her parent's and Danny's shoulders, always worrying them. She hated not having a name of her own and being so completely terrified of having an attack and dying every day. She could make a twelve page list of what she hated about her life.

It didn't matter how she felt though; she didn't see life getting any better for her anytime soon.

But, like everything else, she was wrong.

That day, she had yet another attack during P.E. They were playing dodgeball, the worst game that has ever been invented, and Judith found herself being the prime target for everyone on the opposing team. Apparently, she'd been running too hard because the feeling of her lungs suddenly clenching in her chest was all too familiar. She collapsed in mid run and fell to her knees, desperately trying to breathe despite her airways constricting. Coach had to send Allison Argent to get her inhaler from her locker while students crowded around, either laughing or watching with unmasked interest. Scott and Stiles had them back off, but the feeling of their eyes on her was enough to make her panic a bit more.

It felt like years had passed when Allison finally returned with her inhaler, and after Judith took a few swigs of it and did all the breathing exercises she knew by heart, she was able to get to her feet again. Coach sent her to the nurses office to lie down, despite her protests, and she ended up leaving the gym, tears in her eyes as she listened to people laugh behind her back.

Danny visited her at lunch, asking her how she felt and scolding her for pushing her body too hard. She bowed her head and let him finish chewing her out before the bell rang and Danny had to leave. He kissed the top of her head and told her to call dad or mom if she felt like going home early.

Instead, once he was gone, she swung her legs off the bed and snuck out the nurse's office. She made her way to the girl's locker room and changed into her regular clothes. She then closed her locker and made her way out the school, crossing the student parking lot and walking home. It wasn't the first time she skipped school, and she didn't feel like lying around in that stiff bed up in the office anyways. She just wanted to be alone.

Before she could start wallowing in self pity, the sound of a car pulled her attention away from the sidewalk before her. She paused in her walking as the car pulled to a stop next to her and the window rolled down to reveal the face of a very handsome man she's never seen before.

"Judith, right?"

Judith stiffened and bit her lower lip, "H- How do you know my name?" she asked, failing at hiding the tremor in her voice.

"Doesn't matter," the man replied as he removed his sun glasses, revealing the prettiest green eyes Judith has seen, "I want to talk to you."

By the time the man now known as Derek was done talking, Judith was seated in the passenger seat and playing nervously with her fingers in her lap. She wasn't sure if she believed him or not, and if he really was telling the truth about the existence of werewolves and that she could become one, should she really take the risk?

"So what's the catch?" Judith asks in a timid voice, not looking him in the eye because he was kind of intimidating, "I know you couldn't be extending this offer from the goodness of your heart, but I don't have anything to give you in return."

Derek suddenly leaned a bit closer to her, his gaze like emerald fire and it was enough to send a shudder up Judith's spine.

"The only catch is that once I've bitten you, you are part of my pack from there on out. You have to obey me, because I'm the alpha, and in return I'll protect you, like I protect all my pack mates," he lifted a hand, brushing her hair back to expose her neck to him, almost like he was tempted to bite her right then and there, "Being in a pack is like being in an extended family. We protect each other, we stick together, it really isn't that bad," she raised her eyes to meet his, his scent wafted over her and it made her skin tingle a bit, "But it can be dangerous at times, which is why I'm giving you a choice if you want this kind of life or not."

Judith nibbled on her lower lip, her mind racing with everything that was happening right now, "No more asthma?" she murmured, looking down at her lap self consciously, "No more glasses? No more sitting alone at lunch and living in the shadow of my brother?"

Derek smiled, "All of that would be over."

Judith bit her lower lip again before she lifted her brown eyes to look directly into his, "Can I have a day to think about it?" she asked meekly.

Derek nodded, his intense gaze searching her eyes for a moment, "I'll pick you up after school."

"Okay."
