Tournament, a teen wolf fanfic

on that night you get bitten, you're a pawn

you're new to the game and oblivious

the alpha tells you what to do

((doesn't mean you follow his orders))

you're an amateur

reckless

disposable

but ambitious too

loyal to your old pack

refusing to be controlled

((that's the only way you make it out alive))

you're an omega and a rook

you're stronger now

you understand your powers

guarding your town

protecting

even those who kill

((because that's your job isn't it?

you save everyone))

you're a strong

stubborn castle

and nothing will harm your friends.

you're a knight and you've made sacrifices

everyone around you is dying

you're jumping around

speculating

pretending

trying to be a leader when you aren't

((but it's too much – you can't do it))

you're cunning and careful

rescuing the sacrifices with a plan and deceit

and then you

((it's okay because

you're a knight and you make sacrifices))

and you've survived

maybe it's your loyalty

strength

or cunning

that made you a bishop

an unexpected alpha

you're smarter now

better

((and you need to be –

this is the hardest challenge yet))

brother against brother

against a fox that wears your brother's face

you're trying

and for a moment you almost win

you keep fighting and so does everyone else

((you don't have a choice))

and you win

but not all of you are

alive

((how many more sacrifices will there be?))

you're a true alpha – a queen

you're stronger

more confident

smoothly infiltrating a hunters' club

you bite an innocent and drag him into your war

((you didn't mean it but that doesn't matter to him))

there's a dead pool

and the casualty list is going up

your corpse would fetch the highest price

professional assassins surround you

((this must be what it feels like to be hunted))

you're a queen so you protect

and you d i e once again

and the benefactor is shut

((but, of course, it can't be over yet))

it's only when you defeat your alpha

you rise the ranks and become a regal king

you're strong and mighty

((but you're still human))

nothing can stand in your way

except

theo raekan

the pressure to shelter is strong

and sometimes you feel like b-r-e-a-k-i-n-g

the line between science and supernatural is blurring

and theo destroys your pack

from the inside out

and it's your fault

((because some of us are human, scott))

and you're in a library

all alone

and for fifteen minutes you're

but you're a king so you come back

and you earn back your kingdom's trust

first, your brother

your girlfriend

your beta

your sisters

and then you

h e a l

your pack defeat the beast together

you have plan to keep everyone safe

((that's your top priority as a king))

in the end

it's allison argent who saves you

you're still a king – that won't change

maybe it's time to step down

but something's not right

((someone is missing))

and you feel like a pawn again

clueless

confused

because that first night doesn't add up

you're a rook as you fail to protect the team

a bishop when you hear stiles through a radio

and you drive 143 miles to a ghost town

you're a queen when you remind liam his place

there's no t i m e for mistakes

you can't work with someone you don't trust

((but you're a queen and you make sacrifices))

in the cooling chamber

you remember

your brother is back

((you seriously question how you survived without him))

and together

you drive away the ghosts

this phase of your life should be over

((they still need us))

you're out of the game

and you're different now

brave

strong

cunning

loyal to a fault

you're happy

but then everything

after all,

you never did like to follow the rules.

I had a much easier format planned out but has quite limited layouts ugh. This was 100% inspired by mcfuz's checkmate, which is basically a Percy Jackson version of this and way better because it's original.

It's just that I read that one and then I couldn't get this out of my head. This fic starts at season 1 and ends at 6a. I might update it once 6b is out! I'm so excited for that yay!

I really hope everything here is intact because there were so many edits I had to make since I couldn't use my original. Hope you enjoyed it!
