/A/N: This is my second story. Enjoy.
I accept constructive criticism but don't be mean please.
A don't own Teen Wolf but I own Sophie and anyone else I bring in.
Thank you for reading and I hope you like it. Please review.
I sat outside the room on one of their lounge chairs, curious as to why I had been kicked out of this particular meeting when, being one of the leaders, I was there for all meetings.
After several minutes Kara opened the door and stuck her head out. "They're ready for you."
I stand, giving myself time to smooth out my outfit and take a breath before walking past her and into the room.
Normally I sit with them behind a long table on a… Well what can only be described as a throne actually. This time I'm not sure where to sit so I stand in front of them.
Nate smirks a little. I glare. "You can take your seat with us."
I nod my thanks and take my rightful seat with them, watching as they turn to me. "We asked you to leave because we had something to discuss concerning you and we wanted a fair argument. You couldn't argue for either side and no person would feel the need to side with you on whatever side you chose."
I took a deep breath. This couldn't be good.
"Now, I'm just going to come out with it. There is a new alpha, not just any ordinary alpha. A True Alpha. He needs an emissary and we have decided to give him the best. You."
I smile. "That is such an honor! Thank you…"
He holds up his hand for me to be silent. "This is a rare case. We have never sent one of the leaders to be an emissary. We think it's necessary this time though. Since a True Alpha is also a rare case." He pauses. "The True Alpha resides in Beacon Hills. We know you have a history there. Family. One of the reasons we are sending you in particular."
I cringe a little. I may have family there but I haven't seen them in years.
"You will be given the necessary documents, a bank account with a reasonable amount of money, a vehicle with a gas card to drive there, and some cash now to help while you travel there. You can bring whatever you want and buy whatever you want when you get there. If you need more money, just call and we will transfer more into your account. You can get a job as long as it doesn't impede with your duties. As for a house, we leave that up to you. You may buy, rent an apartment or house, or stay with your family or a friend… Whichever you chose."
Obviously they want me to accept this but they will let me decline if I want. I know that. They always do. But I know, deep down, even before he asks, that I'll take it. I want to go back. I want to see my family. Helping a True Alpha? Bonus. It's the rarest form of alpha and they're normally very kind, very helpful, very reasonable people unlike most other alphas.
"Do you accept the assignment?"
I glance at the head, a thirty year old male named Sean who has become like an older brother to me. Everyone on the council is like family.
"I accept." My voice is clear, no hesitation. I want this.
My eyes glance at the other members. There are seven of us. All powerful in our own way. All the best emissaries. From all over the world.
Nate on the end, a tall, brown haired, blue eyed, muscular male. Harry next to him, twenty three, average height, blonde hair and blue eyes. He's got some muscles but not like Nate. Caesar beside Harry, brown hair, green eyes, barely twenty, almost as tall as Nate, skinny but tough. All the guys are. Then Sean in the middle. He's the shortest of the males, red hair, brown eyes. Next to him is Rose, tall supermodel-esk woman, mid-twenties with flowing brown hair and green eyes, me beside her, and Kate next to me. She's an average height, black haired, brown eyed female in her early twenties. Kara, our receptionist-slash-person who helps is sitting off to the side taking notes and finishing up a file. She's mid-twenties too with brown hair and brown eyes.
I glance at myself. Short, even for a female, black haired, blue eyed, nineteen… The youngest on the council though the rest of them were just as young when they started on the council. The female I replaced had retired.
"Dismissed. You can go pack and prepare. We want you on the road as soon as possible."
I rose, stretching as I walk.
Everyone congratulates me, hugging me, wishing me the best, and file out when they're done leaving me with Rose and Nate, my two best friends.
"Well, let's get you packed." Rose grins, linking her arm through mine and then through Nate's.
Four hours later and all the belongings and items I want to bring with me are packed into a white four door Sedan. Not my choice in vehicles but it'll do. I'd much rather a motorcycle to a Sedan but I'll need it if I'm going to help a pack. I'll probably still buy a motorcycle when I get there though…
I shut the door and turn to the two people who helped me pack. "I'll miss you guys. Call me lots. Give me the deets on all the meetings." I smile and laugh, hugging them tightly.
The both promise to and then I'm behind the wheel and driving to Beacon Hills, California.
If you've ever done the drive, you know there's plenty of scenery. Lots of hills and trees and grass. It's very beautiful.
When I get to Beacon I stop for a bite and to gas up before pulling into a hotel. I'll be staying here for a few nights while I decide where I want to stay.
All my things are brought up to my room for me as I walk through the front door.
It's not the Ritz but it's beautiful.
There's a café on the left, many chairs, a reception area against the wall dead centre, a restaurant to the right and a few elevators on either side of the desk.
I check in and take an elevator to my room.
It's an ordinary hotel room really. If you get the best room in the hotel. A living room, dining area, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom. All the things I'd need.
My boxes are brought in and I help stack them, thanking the gentleman as he leaves. I'll leave the boxes unpacked for now. I don't know when I'll be leaving here.
I decide to visit the resident emissary. Deaton. I know he has an animal clinic in town so I hop in my car and head there.
Pulling up, I can see lights on and know he's in. Good.
I knock on the door and am greeted by the older man's face peering at me from a window.
He opens the door. "Hello, can I help you?"
"I'm just here to introduce myself. I'm Sophie McCall."
His face shows he recognizes my name and he motions for me to enter the building. "Come in, come in. It's lovely to meet you. We can talk in the exam room, this way."
He leads me to a room the size of a decent living room and says I can sit on the table if I want.
Shrugging, I jump up onto it and stare at Deaton.
He looks a little flustered as he pulls a chair up to face me.
"I'm assuming the council has sent you to be the emissary for the true alpha, correct?"
"Yes, that's correct. They decided to put me on the case as this is unique. They know you're retired and didn't feel it fair to make you deal with all the werewolves around here. I'm grateful to be here and to see a friendly face. I, of course, would never ask you to step down. Whatever you're doing seems to work and I would love the help and to learn from someone like you."
"That's very flattering. I'll help in any way I can." He responds, smiling.
I nod, happy to have him on board. "Thank you. I assume you know all the werewolves, as well as the true alpha?"
He gives me a calculating look. "I do."
"I would like to meet him, introduce myself and settle in. Can you help? Get him here?" It's not the normal procedure, there's normally not another emissary around, but it's how I want to handle this.
"Of course. Excuse me." He leaves the room, coming back in after five minutes. "I called him, he's on his way."
I thank him and sit there, glancing around the sterile room while I waited.
He just sat there watching me, kind of creepy if you ask me, but I didn't say anything. Deaton is a bit eccentric. Even for an emissary.
A few moments later you could hear doors closing. I glance at Deaton, questioning why there was more than one door closing, but he doesn't react.
"What are we doing here?" I can hear a voice ask as they walk through the clinic to where we are.
"Deaton just said to come. Not questioning it. He's helped us a lot." I heard a second voice reply as the door opened.
I was NOT expecting who walked in.
They took no notice of me at first, just looking at Deaton who stood.
"Boys. I want to introduce you to someone. She'll be the True Alpha's emissary. You know I'm retired, she's here to help and I'll still be here as well, to help her."
They see me now. Both boys' intense gazes on me as they work something out in their minds.
He realizes who I am after another moment. "Sophie?" My name is awkward coming from him, like he's unsure.
I laugh. "Yup. It's me. I'm guessing you're the True Alpha."
His cheeks are red as he looks down, barely nodding.
"I can't believe they didn't tell me… I'm going to be helping my brother… They could have told me… My brother's a True Alpha…" I mutter all this as I work it out.
They knew. They had to. But they didn't tell me. How could they?
"You're an emissary? How did that happen?" His voice holds a little regret, a little sorrow, a little anger.
"You're a True Alpha? How did THAT happen?" I question back, just sorrow and longing in my voice.
I miss my brother so much and I come back to find out he's a werewolf and I'm to be his guide in life. This is not the life I wanted for him. Of course it isn't. I wanted him to be a normal boy who grew up into a normal man who had kids and a wife he loves but fate decided to play a cruel trick and now he's a being of the night. "This is not the life I wanted for you. I always pictured a nice, normal life for you. You deserved that. Not this."
The other boy speaks up. "Well trust him, he didn't want it either. He's embraced it though. He knows it's his life now. I'm Stiles by the way. Stiles Stilinski. Best friend of Scott's."
I look at my brother who has his head down.
"Sophie." I smile. "Sophie McCall."
He gapes at my name, turning to Scott. "You never told me you had a sister!" She screeches. "How did I not know this? I know everything about you! Even that you…" Scott covers his mouth before he can finish.
"I never told you because I barely know her. Our dad took her when I was four. It was a sore subject."
I frown at that but shake it off. I should have expected that. Who could he be expected to keep me in his thoughts.
He probably doesn't want me here, doesn't want my help, doesn't want to know me… Or just doesn't care either way.
Either way, I don't think he'll ever think of me as his sister.
"Scott, I know you couldn't care less about me personally but I'm here to be your guide. I've accepted the assignment and you're stuck with me as your emissary."
He seems a little unapproachable at the moment, lost in his thoughts, so I leave him alone.
I know it will be awkward between us, for quite some time, but there's nothing I can do. We can't go to be acting like siblings after years of being apart. Maybe friends… Eventually.
The only thing running through my brain right now, though, is…
MY BROTHER'S THE TRUE ALPHA!
