Author's note: Hi guys! The holiday is over here in Brazil and I'm back to the big city and to college, but first I managed to get a new chapter done for everyone who enjoys reading (and reviewing and following) this little fanfiction.

It's really short, but I like it a lot.

I intend on posting one chapter per week, but we'll see, it depends on the reviews too. I want to know what you guys are thinking, and the best way you can do that is telling me. Can we have a deal?

Have a great chapter!

(as in great I mean decent, because it's all my poor english can manage)

3. Spy

"You did quite a good job keeping an eye on Stilinski for me at Eichen House." Marin said to Malia, a few weeks after life started going back to normal.

"Did exactly what you asked me, yes." The werecoyote replied, very seriously. She knew Marin Morrell probably wanted something more from her. It was like this since she first turned back human.

"Did more than I asked you." The druid said, and Malia raised an eyebrow. "Didn't need to have sex with the boy."

The girl blushed and looked anywhere but to Marin.

"I had sex with him because I liked him. And I still do it now because of the same reason. Not because it was or wasn't in your plans." It was a risky answer, but she chose her words – and tone – wisely. Marin nodded.

"I see."

After a few seconds of awkward silence, Malia raised her eyes to Marin again, a bit more confident and, to be quite honest, annoyed.

"So? What do you want?" her posture made the emissary smile, but the kind of smile that was very similar to proud.

"Don't worry, Trickster, it's not another favor, it's just a friendly warning."

"Okay…?"

And because it was Marin Morrell, she had to take a second to build tension.

"Try to stay away from Peter Hale." She said, and Malia waited for more. When she realized there was nothing, she shook her head, a bit confused.

"That's it?"

"Yes."

The coyote girl frowned.

"Now tell me something my boyfriend hadn't already told me, please?"

"You are cocky, Malia." Marin said, the same smile playing in her lips again. "I like that. And your father must like it as well." She stepped closer, talked lower. "You are strong. You're probably stronger than Scott and all his pack together. You're probably stronger than Peter, but you don't know how to use it yet. I know you can control your powers in animal form, but you still can't turn back, so you need to learn how to control it in shifter form. It takes time and patience, and you can ask Peter for help, because, let's face it, he knows things. But listen to my words carefully, Malia, you need to lay low. Do not let show how great you are at certain things, it'll draw his attention and that's the last thing you want, for Peter is power-hungry."

"All right, you freaked me out a bit now." Malia said, stepping back and Marin nodded.

"Good."

"But they want me to move in with them." She said, worried. "I don't know if I can avoid it much longer.

"You'll figure out, I'm certain." She turned around to leave, but changed her mind and looked at Malia once again. "One more thing: you can trust Derek. He's keeping an eye on Peter for me and he'll follow my instructions when needed. We need you to trust his commands. He might not be your alpha – God, he's not even close! -, but he's your family and he's a good person. And he works for me. Be prepared. Any moment, everything can change."

"I'll be ready."

"I know." Marin nodded. "And stay with Stiles. He's a pain, but he's nice and you two can be good together. We already know a few parts fit."

Malia laughed and then it hit her.

"Wait a minute, did you just joke? Was that a joke, for real?"

Marin just shook her head, hiding the smile, and left through the front door of Malia's house with no other word.

A/N: I know we all thought it was very suspicious of Malia to just break security to wake Stiles and to seem so interested in helping him. I might be wrong, but it was more than just the possibility of learning how to turn back to coyote.

I don't know, we'll see. But here, in this fic, she was under Marin's instructions all along. (otherwise, how could she walk way so easily?) The only problem is that she grew to like him - which is not a problem at all for me!

Thank you for reading and I hope you review it! x
