"Wait... what?!" exclaimed Danny surprised "I thought your mother died of... I'm so sorry Mistress" he suddenly apologized "That was out of line, I... everyone knows how important your parents are for you".
"It's ok Danny, there is no need for apologizing" I replied with a kind smile.
I touched the back of his neck, accepting his submission. It is something I've seen Derek do with his betas a few times, and hoped it worked to relax an animal partner as well. Luckily it did, Danny was soon a puddle of goo on my hands, making me giggle at how adorable he looked.
"Don't make fun of me!" complained Danny with a bright blush "It's instincts" he defended himself.
"I know!" I blurted out of the blue, afraid that I've insulted him. The last thing I needed was to get my best friend angry at me. Yes, Danny was now my best friend not Scott, I thought bittersweet "I just founded very cute. I giggled out of happiness, you know I never mock. And whenever I use my snark is to tease".
"I know, sorry is that..." I cut him off.
"You mother's stories made you so afraid?" I smirked a bit cockily but reassuring at the same time "I always knew that there was something wrong with my mom when she got sick. She was the healthiest person I've ever known, she never ever got a flu. But then suddenly she had a fatal sickness? That wasn't common" I explained to him "They told me that it happens, that when it comes it's a surprise for everyone. But that isn't what happened to my mom. At the beginning I thought that I was trying to find someone to blame, to sooth my pain... but now" I shook my head tiredly.
"You think that someone cursed her or planted that disease on her purposely" he stated, surprising me. He said exactly what I was thinking "Partners can communicate with each other with our mind".
"Another thing I need to know about our bond?" I asked him, not even blinking at the weirdness that was mind reading. After all, I've seen stranger things this last year.
"No. But you are right Stiles" he told me with a thoughtful expression "Witches, like werewolves and animal partners have a perfect immune system...".
"Then why do I have ADHD" I questioned him, cutting him off.
"Because you never used your magic, all that energy running through you ready to explode needed to manifestation in a way" he explained "In your case is the ADHD, but I can assure you that now that you discovered your powers and will start practicing them it will go away".
"Thank God!" I sighed under my breath.
That will mean less money to spend in medicine, I thought happily.
"Stiles" I looked up rapidly when I noticed the serious tone that Danny was using "My mother acted very strange during the time that your mom was hospitalized... as if she was afraid".
"Do you think that she knows what happened to my mother?" I asked him hopefully.
"She might and if she doesn't at least she will have an idea to where we need to go" he told me. However, as my luck is always bad there had to be a fucking but "But there is a problem, she and my step-dad are in vacations. And even if they were here, she would have never accepted helping us".
"And by us you mean me" I deadpanned with my usual snark "She would have never helped me. An evil creature of hell".
"Sorry" he winced at my dry sarcasm.
"You have nothing to apologize for" I sighed "So we are back at cero".
"Not exactly" replied Danny making hope blossom inside of me again "I have an aunt from my mother's side, she came to Beacon Hills at that time and had a huge fight with my mother. I think that she was aware of what was happening to your mother too".
"And why would she help me?" I inquired "Doesn't she hate my kind too for what he did to your mom?".
"No, she never labels people. She doesn't care for sex, color, nationality, human or supernatural creature. For her we can only be judge by our choices but also can redeem ourselves" he told me with a fond smile.
He surely must like her a lot, I thought happy that he had an understanding family relative.
"She is a brilliant woman" I commented.
"Indeed she is" he replied, smile still on place "She lives in Las Vegas with her husband, children and warlock companion. It is a bit far...".
"... but at least it's a start" this time I didn't interrupt Danny, I finished his sentence. A good start for a future perfect syncopation "Then we better start packing, we are leaving at dawn" when I stood up a deep angry growl irrupted through the preserve "Please tell that it was you" I face palmed when Danny shook his head and just turned into a fox, before jumping in front of me ready to protect me "You know Danny, I can protect myself just fine" I growled at him, angry at being treated like a Cinderella.
That doesn't mean I won't be there for you, he snapped back in my head.
Wow! That was freaking amazing, I commented in my head impressed.
Glad to have pleased you, he replied happily.
We need to learn how to block our thoughts, the last thing I need is you seeing my dark fantasies, I told him.
Like your wet dream of having Derek knotting you? he asked, chuckling when I squeaked and blushed embarrassed Relax I am no one to judge, I am dating with an ex-blood lustful-alpha, I rolled my eyes at that.
Everyone here is insane, aren't they? Is someone completely normal here?! I complained in my head.
Why would you want normal when you have different? Different means original and fun, normal means plain and boring, Danny told me.
That is... this time I was the one interrupted.
What you told me my first day of school when I was worried of someone making fun of me because I was from Hawaii. That is why I want you to be comfortable enough with me that you won't have to feel embarrassed, because I am able to read your mind.
I was forced out of my shock when the growls got louder.
Let's leave this conversation for later, it's time to fight! I announced just a few seconds before a huge coyote jumped in front of us. The peculiar thing was that it's eyes were bright blue. I could have sworn that I saw them shine for a second, but that couldn't be true unless... Danny, do werecoyote exist?
Yes, why? Do you think she is one? That can't be true, unless she is an omega. She is way to wild to have a human brain, he told me worriedly.
Stay behind Danny. I ordered him as I began walking towards her slowly, trying not to scare her away.
Wait Stiles! She is dangerous! Danny shouted in my head and was about to pound on her, but I stopped him.
Do you trust me Danny? I demanded to know.
It has nothing to do with trust! Stiles she... I cut him off.
DO-YOU-TRUST-ME? This time I punctuated and took my time with each word, trying to make my message clear.
I do, he replied grumpily.
Then trust that I'll know what I am doing, I asked him softly and turned my head for a second to flash him a reassuring smile.
Once I was kneeling in front of the werecoyote I concentrated some of my magic on my eyes making them shine. They weren't golden, they weren't blue, they weren't red... they were purple. I discovered that a few hours ago, while I was waiting for the whole Hale pack to recover from the dark druid and the alpha pack attack. But it didn't bother me. The only thing I didn't like is not knowing why they were purple.
The werecoyote titled his head to the side, like a confused puppy, and watched me with caution but curious at the same time. I raised my hand and placed it on her head, then I began chanting a spell I remember reading on the book of Jenifer while I was waiting. I just hope I could muster it and don't ruin the only chance Danny and I have of saving the werecoyote without killing it.
"Dla zapomnianych, zapamiętanych, dla tych zgubionych i znalezionych, dla tych, którzy nie dotrą, a nawet tych, którzy mają dopiero przybyć... śpiewam dla wszystkich, wszystkich wspieram, nie ważne czy moc dzierżona w moich dłoniach i decyzje moje staną się pomocne, czy zgubne. Czy przyjmę ścieżkę, którą postanowiliście iść przez życie? Przez mrok i światłość? Podczas wojny jak i pokoju?" I chanted in a voice I couldn't recognize like mine.
The voice was deep and reach, full of power and as seductive as sleek. I could feel the winds through the woods pick up at the utilization of my powers, I could sense the life of the preserve and see the bonds of every living thing of Beacon Hills. But all of that didn't matter, because the werecoyote threw her head backwards and howled in glee. Soon I felt something click in my soul, a bond forming similar to what happened with Danny but not quite the same. It was as if the werecoyote was underneath me, not my equal. Not in the bad way! But as if I was her lieder.
Insane isn't it?! I thought. Who would follow me?!
"Oh my... it worked Stiles. You did it!" exclaimed Danny excitedly, almost glowing in pride when I looked at him. I didn't understand what he was saying or why he was taking his jacket off, but when I followed him with my gaze I understood the reason "Hey there" he called softly at the nude girl in front of us "My name is Danny and I am the animal partner of the witch that just saved you" he covered her with his jacket.
She just looked up and flashed me her eyes, I focused my magic and flashed mine remembering how it always worked with Derek and his betas. She exposed her neck and I caressed it, accepting her submission.
"Alpha" she sighed happily before enveloping me in a tight hug and scent mark me.
What did she just say?! I questioned Danny, at the edge of panic.
She just recognized you as her alpha, answered me Danny amused.
No shit Sherlock, really?! I snapped at him, my voice dripping in sarcasm. I want to know why? I am no werewolf or werecoyote alpha!
It doesn't matter, you just bonded yourself to her so she would recover her humanity. That bond makes you her alpha, her guide to the path to her soul, he explained to me.
"Ok. What is your name?" I asked the girl, who seemed my age, sweetly.
"Malia... Tate" she answered when she finally discovered how to speak.
"Oh my God!" I exclaimed astonished.
She was the Malia Tate that was never found when her mother's car crashed, killing her mom and her little sister.
"Don't worry Malia, we will get you with your dad" Danny told her with a smile, showing the dimples that everyone falls for.
"No!" she shouted, holding me tighter and shaking her head "I don't want to face my father, not after killing my mother and my little sister!".
It was full moon that night, I reminded Danny whose expression of confusion turned into an expression of understanding and pity. Stopped looking at her like that or she will tear you apart. She lived under the rules of survival for a long time, and if you aren't strong you won't survive. If she sees your pity... let's say she won't like it at all. He nodded his head in understanding and wiped the pity out of his face.
"Calm down Malia, your dad doesn't know about supernatural creatures and will be very happy to have you back" I tried to reassure her.
"I don't want to get back! He doesn't smell right!" now I was the one shocked when she screamed that "I didn't know about what I was when I was I child, but I always knew that the Tate family wasn't for me" she looked at the ground in pain, but then looked at me determined "I want to be with you, alpha".
I laughed cause it wasn't a request or a question you may do to your alpha, it was a demand. Of course, I would end up bonding with a were that doesn't respect authority and does what she likes... just like me. I locked gazes with Danny who knew exactly what I was thinking, and by his smirk he was all in for it too.
"Then I hope you are my size, cause we leave for a trip at dawn!" I told her with a wicked glint in my eyes.

A/N: This spell is the same one that Thomas used with Brenda in my story Alpha and Luna, for the ones that read it or are interested on reading it.
Like this is when the characters are thinking.
Like this is when Danny and Stiles communicate with their minds.
Like this is whenever Stiles is casting a spell.
