Chapter One:


Deaton eyed her carefully as she paced in front of him. He leaned against the operating table, bringing his arms forward as he watched the broken girl in front of him pace like a mad woman. "Alexis, you don't have much longer. They will be here soon-"

"I know that!" she snapped before her face fell, "I'm sorry. It's just... I have to make this the right choice."

"I understand." He gave her comforting smile and she groaned running both hands through her hair before her whole body just stopped, still in thought...

"What if..." she paused, thinking about what she was about to suggest. This had to be the right decision. After all she only had this one opportunity to make it right and Lords know how many ideas were running through her head. Should she stop Scott going out at all? What if it was Stiles that received the bite? What if she never visited Peter? What about being good and staying hidden and not be killed by Kate? All of her ideas would come up with consequences and when she thought about half of them, the only word (More like name) would echo in her mind: 'Derek'. If Scott didn't go out, Stiles could risk being bitten, she would never have met Derek the way she did, she would have never died to gain her wings and she would have never fallen for him and then lost him causing her to learn how to heal. So what now? She had one idea where it was a very slim chance things would end up better for her... "What if it was enough for Peter to follow my plan?" she spoke and she waved her hand slowly in between the two, the space between then distorting in a shade of blue before bursting out and the picture of Peter and Alexis in her kitchen. Deaton nodded with an impressed smile before all emotion vanished from his face as he watched the scene play out in front of him. He could see through the transparent picture that her eyes were glowing that beautiful blue just then before he focused on the image in front:

"But Peter, you're here, there's only one person left and from Police reports she can be framed and put in jail," she began to explain and he face her in curiosity allowing her to continue, "You can kill her, make her suffer for a little while and then done or you can get her sent to jail, with everyone knowing what she has done where she will spend the rest of her life suffering."

He chuckled and shook her head, "As much as I like your thinking it's just not enough."

"How Peter? How easy will it be to just have her rotting in a cell, knowing she has wronged her family code, killed innocent people? She will be stuck in a hell." She pushed and Peter's hands began to clench...

"I don't think I can change the way he thinks. There is so much determination and rage within-"

"But you have me as well," She cut him off as the scene faded away and her hands shot out to his, "It's not changing him, not completely, it's just... strengthening a desire."

Deaton stared into her now emerald green eyes, the eyes she shared with both her parents. Boy they would be disappointed in him for allowing this, but she had her father's determination and her mother's stubbornness set in those depths. He finally sighed, his head dropping,

"If at all that you or Scott, or even a new possible charge, die, you'll return to this exact time with little knowledge of the experience no matter how long you're there for," he explained and she paused for a split second before her features turned serious and she nodded, "Are you sure you want this?"

"I have to try right?" she asked, tears slowly filling those strong eyes once more. He brought her hands up, grasping them delicately with his larger ones as he closed his eyes. She followed suite feeling his power slowly surround her, taking her back and the scene played out in front of her once more. She then saw the ways he was able to tap into the scene and make the little changes for her request and then she saw black...


"How Peter? How easy will it be to just have her rotting in a cell, knowing she has wronged her family code, killed innocent people? She will be stuck in a hell," She pushed and Peter's hands began to clench and she acted quickly as she half dived over the bar to grasp his shoulders, "Think about it Peter, for me think about this: A new treaty, a home being repaired for a new beginning, You, me, Derek and a new family, a fresh start."

The sudden sparkle in her eyes struck Peter to the core. She wanted it. The determination in her emerald depths to create that dream with him almost melted his heart. He stepped away, out of her reach and shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose trying to refocus his mind. It was then he felt her arms around him tightly as she rested her head against his chest. He had longed to hug his angel and even though she wasn't his he accepted this. His arms hesitantly dropped before slowly wrapping around her small frame, savouring the feel of her small frame against his. How he dreamed of this and it was now happening...

He planned everything and he was so close to finally completing this, close to finishing his revenge, but flashes of the young woman in his arms almost appeared in front of his eyes, how she would talk so animatedly about life and her struggles. How he longed to wrap her in his arms to make her feel better when she was upset. He remembered how he pictured his ideal situation with her in mind and finally, sighed, resting his head against hers and breathing in the scent of her hair. Strawberries...

"Okay," He finally whispered and she pulled back, eyes wide as she looked for confirmation on his face, hand on his heart to truly hear if he was being honest with her. He couldn't help but smile softly, "We'll do things your way. No more unnecessary death."

Her brows arched and he chuckled, his shoulders shaking, "I want to hear you say the plan."

"I won't kill Kate Argent," he spoke clearly and he noted a tug on her lips, "We'll do things your way to have her in jail. We'll create a treaty with the Argent's and then re-build the Hale home. As a family and as a pack." The sudden way her face lit up, tears falling freely had him almost weak at the knees. She had never given him that smile before and he wanted to keep that one her face. He just needed his nephew back, Scott safe and Kate jailed.

Alexis pulled him into a tight hug that had even him think she would crack a rib or two. When she finally pulled back she wiped under her eyes and nodded, a whole new set of determination setting in, "Let's get Derek and then I'll talk to Scott and Stiles."

"How will we find him?" he asked and she paused, gnawing on her bottom lips before spinning round and grabbing her car keys.

"I have a theory, but I need a laptop," She said about to explain that she needed to head to the McCall residence. Peter, not really wanting to risk being found there for many reasons, held a finger up before disappearing and then reappearing with a Mac and she chuckled, "You're a mac guy... Does that go for all werewolves or just a personal preference?" she asked with a smirk and he rolled his eyes handing her a small device, though she noticed the small tug on his lips. She arched a brow before smirking, "MiFi? Cool, but I can just use my wireless." She opened the laptop up and starting setting it up before grabbing her phone out and phoning Stiles.

"Yello." He answered on the second ring,

"Stiles! Just need a quick favour off you." She began with a grin on her face,

"This can't be good, but go on I have a few minutes whilst I wait for my homecoming date to arrive." She could feel he wanted her to ask so she rolled her eyes. He even let out a little excited whine when she didn't reply to him as quickly as he wanted. Adderal addict...

"Lydia?"

"How did you know?" he almost squealed and she had to laugh,

"I'm all knowing, now I need Scott's username and password to find his phone."

"Oh well that's fair enough Miss 'all knowing', that's easy it's Allison." She arched a brow slowly and shared a look with Peter,

"Really?"

"Yeah I know boys totally whipped, now what do I do whilst I go shopping for dresses with Allison and Lydia?" he asked and she rolled her shoulders,

"Offer to carry absolutely everything, buy whatever she wants for lunch or drink and be yourself when it comes to complimenting her. Also, make sure you buy a tie that matches the dress she is wearing and don't forget a corsage of some sorts. You want to woo this chick remember." She quickly wrapped up the conversation before hanging up and typing the information into the computer.

"Allison?" Peter asked with an amused expression and she sighed,

"I said he had his smart moments, moments are different."


Alexis was sat in Peter's car outside the burned down hale mansion, slightly hidden away. She was sat in the passenger seat and couldn't keep still. Peter had been gone ten minutes now. There was this dungeon place underneath the house apparently. Peter explained it was for the wolves that didn't have full control over the full moon period. He also explained it made a good naughty step threat, just without the chaining them up. She had to laugh at that because anyone would hate to be stuck in a room with nothing in it, but the fact that it must have been slightly creepy also? She shuddered at the thought.

Her senses went wild and her head snapped round to see Peter helping Derek over a hill and she pushed the door open before running and flying into Derek's arms. The Beta wrapped his arms around her tightly as he seemed to sigh in content. She pulled back and placed her hands on his chest and her brows furrowed slightly before her hands seemed to glow and she grinned. Derek's colour returned to his face as his brows flew to his hair line. Peter's also, but he had a proud smile on his face as he urged the couple to return to the car quickly.

During the drive back to hers, Derek and Alexis were sat in the back seat as she explained her plan to him. He was sceptical at first but overall agreed it was a better idea. Even though he wanted Kate to be gone as much as Peter. They then began to debate on how she was going to get Scott to agree of all things, then there was Stiles and finally: Allison. This debate continued as they entered her home and Alexis made them all a cup of tea.

Alexis rolled her eyes as she handed Derek his and even though he was frustrated with her, he still pecked her temple in thanks before they sat down on the sofa, Alexis curled up into him. Peter watched with an amused expression on his features, sat in the single arm chair with the best view of them. Even though they were in a frustrating debate, they were still snuggled closely together.

"Look, I'll slap them both if I have to, but I have never been wrong and they should trust me." Alexis then said and placed her empty cup on the table in front.

"And Scott will really follow you?" he asked and she nodded,

"Unless the boy wants a noogie sandwich then he should." She smirked and snuggled into his hold when he pulled her in.

"So it's decided?" Peter asked, clasping his hands together and Alexis's head bobbed,

"We're going to the mall to find me a nice chaperone dress, Derek is going to get Suki and wait for us to return with Thai food since he is still technically a fugitive." She laughed at Derek's grumble and patted his knee,

"We'll get that sorted in no time Derek," Peter said as he stood up and held a hand out to the content Angel in front, "Shall we go my lady?" he asked and she grinned before pausing,

"We're going to take my car though..." she frowned and Peter's brow arched before he finally nodded,

"Jennifer..." he muttered, hand on forehead.

"We'll handle that later. Important things first: Shopping, Scott, Stiles and then Thai food."


"You're insane if you think I agree to this!" Scott growled in a hushed whisper as she flickered through dresses.

"And the fact that after years of protecting you and always being right you still don't trust me just simply stuns me every time." She glared at him from across the rack of clothes.

"What makes you think he won't turn on you, Alex?" Scott crossed his arms, his brown eyes occasionally flashing a golden colour, "Don't you remember what I saw?"

Alexis rolled her eyes as she pulled another dress out and slung it over her arm. She walked round and grabbed Scott by the arm and pulled him in, "Because I spent three years caring for him and then visiting him. He bit me the same night he bit you creating a bond. Throughout this whole time I have felt a stronger connection with him even though I was oblivious to it at first. If he is going to turn on me, I will know," her tone was low that she saw the shudder from Scott, "He wants a new life. He had agreed to not murder or even hurt anyone else. No one has to die Scott okay? No one has to get hurt."

Scott's jaw was clenched tightly before he looked up into her eyes and she saw they had softened. Her own eyes softened as she relaxed her grip on him and took a step away, "Why do you trust him?" his voice was so small she felt her heart sink as she sighed, her shoulders sagging.

"Gut instinct," she replied and hugged the dresses to her stomach, "Scott, I love you so much, you're my annoying little brother who I have protected, even before I knew I was your guardian. If I ever thought that something would cause you danger I would always do my best to prevent it from happening or support you through it all," his eyes seemed to glaze over as he remembered various times she did exactly this, "but if something tells me that it's a good opportunity for us, or I truly believe in something. I will push it."

"Like you pushed with Derek." There was a small knowing smile on his lips and she flushed,

"Unexpected, but yes." She smiled and Scott finally sighed, his whole body relaxing.

"Okay. I'll trust you." He said and her brows flew to her hair line.

"Derek owes me twenty bucks." she gasped in astonishment and Scott arched a brow before the two laughed. She sobered when she saw Peter standing not far from the entrance and she smiled softly and nodded her head. The alpha made his way in and Scott automatically stiffened whereas she felt a smile tug at her lips. She grasped Scott's hand in support and the boy turned to face Peter, who actually seemed anxious. This was unexpected.

"Scott, I understand we started off rocky, but your sister has truly helped me," Peter started and Alexis had to flush and Scott took a step closer to Peter,

"If you give me your word about what she had told me, no more murder, no one getting hurt," he started and she saw Peter tense by a fraction, "I'll join you." Then Peter relaxed as he gave the Beta a genuine smile and held his hand out,

"I give you my word." They both knew Scott was listening in, Alexis was using her abilities also and a bright smile pulled at her lips before she broke away from the two,

"Mission one complete, mission two: Alpha Beta bonding. Peter, help Scott find a suit. He's gotta woo his girlfriend back." She grinned and both boys rolled their eyes. She knew Peter disapproved of Scott falling for an Argent, but he trusted that Alexis will have something to do with this. Not to mention, what with both him and Derek staying at hers now for the time being; and Derek lying low, it would be difficult for the Argent's to figure it out, for at least a week of course.

"Ah yes, Scott, have you ever had a suit tailored for you?" Peter held his arm out with a pleasant smile for Scott, the younger boy walked forward and allowed Peter to wrap his arm around the boys shoulders as they walked off.

"No... I don't actually own a suit." Scott almost muttered and the two walked out the store with Alexis smiling. As much as she hated to think this, things weren't going as difficultly as she thought they would be. Things weren't going too easily she would gladly admit, but... she was content for now...


She pulled the tong from her hair and allowed it to cool as she gave Suki some much needed attention. Yes everything was home once more and the best thing was that she had both Peter and Derek to help with that. She was even able to get Peter to agree to talk to Melissa again and actually go out on a date like a normal guy. If he wasn't interested then that was his choice. The least he could do was have a genuine date with the woman.

Suki was uncomfortable around Peter still, obviously confused from Alexis's hostility around him first and now the sudden caring. The pup just chose to cling to Derek or Alexis. Peter obviously understood. He had been spending his time on the computer doing some research for building the house or figuring out how to pin Kate exactly. Alexis had explained that they needed Kate to wear the pendant that Allison now wears or have Allison tell the police that her aunt Kate gave it to her if they see it. Either way, it was going to take some major skill and time.

Alexis ran her hand through her hair to loosen and shape the curls into a desired look and finally smiled at her reflection when she noticed Derek's figure leaning in her door way. She leaned back and half turned to face him with a smile, her head tilting to the side, "what?" she asked and he shook his head with a smile.

"You just look beautiful..." he explained and she arched a brow, though her face had obviously lit up from the compliment. She didn't think he was the type really... not that she didn't appreciate it of course.

Alexis swung round and stood from her chair, standing tall with a pair of dreaded navy blue high heels. She held her hands out for him and he made his way over. Her hands automatically slid round his waist and she leaned into him, his arms wrapping themselves around her petite form. Her head rested against him chest, just relaxing. She felt spoilt after having a couple days of him to herself when she could. They were very good with their make-out sessions' considering Peter was literally in the room next door. Derek was also incredibly patient with her considering they got pretty heated most times...

"Do you have to go?" she heard him ask and she chuckled before leaning back to stare up into his ocean eyes with a soft smile.

"Unfortunately yes, I also need to keep an eye on Scott," She saw the way he rolled his eyes and she nudged him with a small glare and he had to laugh at this, "Still my brother," She reminded and he leaned down to gently press his lips against hers. She pulled away and shook her head, "Don't distract me." She grinned at his pout.

Derek had been basically stuck in the small house for those couple of days. At first he enjoyed it, being that he could relax and spend time with her, but now she could feel him getting restless. Peter had restricted his 'running' privileges and there wasn't exactly much room for him to work out and when he would try in the back garden, Suki would distract him so he would play with her. Suki just loved him really. She questioned whether Suki loved him more than her sometimes...

Alexis finally pulled away to open her closet door to see her appearance. The sapphire blue dress hugged her figure and the top had a classic vintage look with the sweetheart neckline and silk halter straps. The soft material hugged down her figure to the small of her waist before flowing out down to just below mid-thigh. There was another silk tie around her back where the fitted material ended. Just about enough room for her wings if needed.

The brunette gnawed on her bottom lips before rummaging through the wardrobe once more. She heard Peter laugh as the older man placed a hand on her shoulder and she looked round, "It's not suitable. It's...date dress not chaperone dress." She grumbled with a childish pout and the older man pulled her into a hug and she sagged into his hold.

"It is fine, you look beautiful." He told her once more and the brunette nodded before pulled back and looking at the clock on her bedside table. She had to pick up Scott soon. She held her hand out for Derek and he took it giving her squeeze for confidence. She never felt so... insecure before. When working at the school she always wore these smart work dresses and because this was a dance, something told her to keep it the same, but now she had her wings she had to wear something to suit that. Most things were either too casual or like this and she couldn't help but feel insecure. Yes, she was still young, but she had to keep it professional.

Finally she puffed out her breath and grabbed her clutch, "Okay, I'm going to go before I chicken out," she said and pecked Peter's cheek and pecked Derek's lips softly, "Be good you two." She winked as she slipped out of the door...


Okay, so just a starter, if you think things are going smoothly, that's kinda the idea.
Right, so I have another cover photo poll for you all to do for me! I like this one, but I prefer other ones I made. So I'll have a link on my profile page for you to choose from! You can also let me know via reviews if you want!

Now since I am still writing this, your input is still very much needed. I want you to let me know of Alexis's choice, maybe suggest some consequences of this? OR, just tell me what you think of the chapter in general?

~One more thing before I go!
I have a tumblr, it's easy it's just Lennatha and then the rest of the html for it. I'll post everything me and there will be fanfiction stuff on there as well. I'm still new to tumblr, but it'll be interesting that's for sure.
OKAY! DONE!
I'm sorry for being a fail, I do love you all and I hope to keep you interested.
