California-

Roman, Dean, and Seth arrived, hiding in an abandoned warehouse. There was still light out. Dean had spread out all the photos of Phil in different forms, human and animal. Finn had gotten a tip from Randy Orton about Phil, making a deal with Finn.


"My mate is with him, I need him out of the way.", Randy said.

Finn raised a brow.

"And you want me to do what Orton?", he asked.

"I hear you're looking for Phil Brooks, the Shapeshifter", Randy smirked.

Finn stopped what he was doing and looked at Randy.

"And you know where he is?", Finn asked.

Randy nodded.

"Like I said, I need him out of the way, in order to get my mate", Randy said.

Finn smirked and propped his feet up on his desk.

"So this man with your mate is Phil?", Finn asked.

Randy rolled his shoulders, nodding and crossed his arms over his chest. He was getting tired of repeating himself. Finn liked pushing peoples buttons.

"So will you?", Randy asked.

Finn dropped his feet off the desk and stood, holding his hand out to Randy.

"Deal", Finn said.


Roman was pacing the space, being here in the human world made his Wolf pace inside his head. Whining, something was up.

"You alright?", Seth asked.

"No, my Wolf he's, I don't know, he's restless. For some reason he wants to run, to protect, but I don't know where or who", Roman said.

Seth looked worriedly at his Alpha. Roman shook his head, rubbing his forehead.

"I can't worry about that now, we need to find Brooks", Roman said.

Dean cleared his throat.

"Finn found out he owns this bar not too far away from us. We just have to tip toe around, try to act human", Dean said.

"I have to get a clear scent from him in order not to lose him", Seth said.

Roman nodded. He was going to respond, but then he heard a baby crying, no, two babies. He looked around.

"Do you hear that?", he asked.

"Yeah, this time I do", Dean said standing.

Roman quickly made his way out, his Wolf leading him. If he was in his Wolf form, his tail would be wagging with excitement and he would be jumping up and down. He knew these babies. His Beta and Gamma behind him.

"Roman, what is it?", Dean asked.

"I know those babies or my Wolf does. I don't know how to explain it, I just, I need to see them okay", he said.

He stopped when he spotted a woman with two babies. She was trying to calm them down, but couldn't seem too.

"Rome?", Seth asked.

Roman crossed the street to the restaurant the woman was at. She looked up at him.

"Can I help you?", she asked.

"Your babies", he looked down at the tiny face, wet cheeks.

His Wolf wanted him to hold the child, to comfort him. Both were crying, the woman looked overwhelmed.

"Do you mind?", she asked, handing one of them to him.

Before he could protest, he had the baby in his arms. The child stopped and opened his eyes slowly.

"Aries", he whispered.

He found himself nuzzling the baby boy, a smile across his face. Dean and Seth watched him, concerned. Seth sniffed, a hint of his Alpha on the child.

"Alpha, the child, he's..."

The woman quickly stood, stopping Seth.

"I should go, thank you for holding him", the woman said, taking her son back.

Roman was going to protest but before he could, another woman appeared. The women walked away quickly. Seth approached his Alpha.

"Alpha, that child, he's yours. I caught a hint of your scent, along with the hint of your female", Seth said.

Roman quickly went in the direction the women went. Stopping at the corner. Seth sniffed. Why did those babies smell of him? His Alpha's mate? What was going on?

"She's there", Dean said, pointing across the street.

The place was crowded and when she saw that Roman noticed her, she ran into the bar. Standing at the entrance, he looked inside, but she was nowhere.

"She couldn't have just disappeared. She went in here", Dean said.

"I know, I saw her too", Roman said.

"Maybe she's hiding in the bathroom", Seth suggested.

They walked in and sat at a booth. The place was getting packed quick, but if the woman was hiding in the restroom like Seth said, she would have to come out eventually. This was the only way out. They had a good view of the bathroom door.


Dark Woods-

Rosa arrived a few minutes after.

"He's where you wanted him to be", she said.

"Good", Boogeyman said.

"His Gamma caught on quicker than we thought. I almost didn't get away on time. Emma got there just in time", Rosa said.

"But he did recognize the boys?", Sting asked.

She nodded.

"All we have to do now is wait for her to get to work and notice him. She hasn't drunken the tea in a while, so her scent is going to be strong", Sting said.

They nodded.

"Lets hope he doesn't react the way he did with Abigail, thinking this is a trick", Boogeyman said.

"He'll feel the pull with her", Sting said.

"Yes, but her scent comes in and out", Boogeyman said.

"Lets hope it comes in when she's around him", Sting said.


California-

Nova was a few minutes late to work. She hoped Phil didn't mind. It wasn't her fault, her alarm clock didn't go off when it should have. She had to talk to him about changing shifts. Working late nights just wasn't for her anymore. She didn't get much done during the day because she slept in.

Walking in through the kitchen, Phil sent her a look.

"I know, I know, I'm sorry", she said, tying her apron around her waist.

She put her hair in a ponytail. She noticed Punk watching three men at a booth by the door.

"Who are they?", she asked.

"I don't know, but I think they might be like us", he said.

"Really? I've never met more like us", Nova said excited.

"Don't get too excited, they might be bad guys", he said.

"Go over and find out", Nova suggested.

He chuckled.

"If you're so brave, you go", he said, crossing his arms over his chest.

She shrugged and went over, smiling as she stood by the table.

"Hi", she said.

The man with black hair and grey eyes looked up at her. Did her heart just skip a beat? He realized something too, because he was looking at her the same way.

"Who are you?", he asked.

She backed up a bit.

"Who. Are. You?", he asked again, standing slowly as to not scare her.

Punk approached. Placing his hand on Nova to pull her behind him.

"Is everything okay here?", he asked.

Roman looked at him.

"Hands off my mate", Roman growled.

Nova quickly went to the kitchen, she grabbed her bag. She was about to walk out the back door when yellow eyes froze her in her spot.

"I've finally found you love", she backed up and he stepped out of the dark.

A smirk on his face.

"You are more beautiful than Abigail described", he said.

"Who's Abigail?", she asked, still backing up.

The cooks noticed him and pushed her behind them.

"Get out of here, now", one yelled.

Randy laughed and shifted into his snake form. Everyone screamed. He tried to reach for Nova, but she grabbed a knife off the counter and stabbed him. He screamed and she ran out the kitchen door.

"Hey, what the hell?", Phil asked, holding onto her elbow.

He looked behind her and noticed Randy. He was back in his human form and coming towards her. He looked down at Nova, before looking at Roman.

"Go with him Nova, he'll protect you", Punk said.

She shook her head no.

"I can't, my grandma said not to trust any of my mates", she said.

He understood why and nodded.

"Run", he said.

Nova took off out the front door. Roman noticed and ran after her, Dean and Seth behind him. Punk shoved Randy back.

"Don't touch the girl", Punk warned.

"Or what, shifter", Randy growled.
