Chapter 10
Allison had lifted her hand and slapped Kira.
She had actually slapped her.
Kira stood still for a minute, stunned. She couldn't believe Allison had slapped her. She then turned her head back slowly as she felt her cheek sting. Without warning, she lifted her hand and slapped Allison back. Before Allison could react, Kira had grabbed her by the hair, and with forced she slammed her against the lockers like a ragged doll and fell to the ground.
Allison reacted quickly after that and kicked Kira in the stomach before she could reach her, causing Kira to fall to the ground as well.
The two girls were heavily trained, so an enormous amount of damage was being done in the middle of the hallways. By that time, a small group of people gathered around them.
Allison had Kira pinned on the ground as she pulled her hair and slapped her once again. Kira thrust her hips upward causing Allison to fall frontwards, giving Kira the opportunity to switch their positions.
Kira was on top of Allison as she grabbed her hair and continuously punch her. She then was suddenly pulled away from her target and started to struggle harshly. When Kira noticed that it was Scott the one that was holding her, she stopped resisting. She continued to pant heavily as she rested her back against Scott's chest.
Kira noticed that Allison was being held by Isaac as the rest of the pack stood next to her and Scott, watching Kira with concern.
"Let me go!" Allison creamed in rage as she struggled against Isaacs hold.
"I'm not going to tell you again Allison! Stay away from my family! Stay the fuck away from Scott!" Kira screamed with the same or even more amount of rage.
"What is going on here?!" they all turned around to see Mr. Wilson – the teacher that hated The Pack – approaching them.
Kira kept panting, her back against Scott as she stared at Allison with anger.
"What did you do!" Mr. Wilson demanded as he walked up to Kira.
"I didn't do anything! She was the one who started it!" Kira yelled in rage from her spot.
"Why don't I believe you?" Mr. Wilson annoyingly asked which made Kira want to kill the stupid man.
"I am not lying you idiotic man! She was the one who said the first insult, the one that threw the first punch! I was defending myself. I am not going to let a stupid bitch try to hurt me, or my family, do you hear me, Allison. Get that through your thick skull because next time, I swear, I won't be as gentle, and the damage that will be done to you will be so painful that you won't be able to walk in weeks!"
Everyone in the hall, including The Pack, winced at Kira's words knowing how serious she was about her promise.
Kira was panting again by the end of her little speech as she clenched Scott's arms – which were around her stomach – for dear life.
The entire Pack could see Mr. Wilson's face lighten up with glee as he heard every single word that came out of Kira's mouth.
Kira had just admitted that she would hurt Allison and that was enough to get her in major trouble.
"That's it! You're coming to the office with me" he said as he walked closer to her, and without warning, he grabbed her by her right arm and pulled her towards him.
It wasn't violent enough to cause any bruises on Kira, but rough enough for Scott to seethe in anger and snap in action at the sight of his girlfriend being pulled forcefully from his hold.
Before they could get far enough, Scott quickly walked towards them. He grabbed the teachers hand that was holding Kira's arm and harshly pushed him away as he pulled Kira back to him sending the teachers a murderous glare.
"Don't you ever fucking touch her like that!" he yelled, his voice booming through the halls.
Silence.
All they could hear was complete and utter silence.
It was no secret who the members of The Pack were. Everyone in town knew they were involved with dirty jobs; there just wasn't proof to send them away.
Even though everyone knew who Scott McCall was, no one had ever heard him scream like that – apart from his Pack of course.
He was always nice and distant from everyone. He wasn't cruel or rude as most people would expect he would be considering that he came from a family of criminals, him being the next in line to command.
This was not the nice Scott that everyone had seen. This was the leader of The Pack, whether many realize it or not, The Pack's True Alpha was coming out. Family is everything to the young Alpha, absolutely everything. He could lose anything else in life, but as long as he had his family, he would be alright.
The teacher had just manhandled Kira. As small as the action was, to Scott it was a big freaking no, no.
"Control yourself boy!" Mr. Wilson scolded, slightly startled by the teen's action.
Scott didn't even falter at the teacher's tone of voice, if not it made him angrier.
"You ever try to touch my girlfriend like that again, and I'll make you regret it" Scott murmured in a low and dangerous voice.
Mr. Wilson didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. "Follow me" was the only thing that left his mouth.
Scott looked to his left to see Isaac still holding Allison, and he sent her a deadly glare.
"You're coming too" he spits out as he looked dangerously at her. He knew that Mr. Wilson would allow her to leave without being punished, but he would not allow it.
If Kira needed to go to the Principal's office then so did Allison.
"Scott you have to – "
"I don't have to do anything!" His statement sounded like a growl as he walked closer to Allison, grabbed her by the arm and dragged her towards the office.
"If you think that I will let you get away with this you are sadly mistaken" he said as he walked after the teacher, The Pack closed behind.
"Are you okay?" Malia asked Kira as she walked next to her.
"I'm fine. I told you, I can handle her"
The entire situation was intimidating and to a certain point, scary. The look on The Pack's members face, the way they walked, the way they looked, everything.
Sure, most of the school knew who their family was and knew not to mess with this certain type of people. As long as they kept away, everything was fine. But they had never witnessed them in action. There has never been a situation where The Pack had to show this side of them.
Mr. Wilson was walking in the front, trying to hide how much Scott's attitude had frightened him.
You see, this was why Scott was a perfect born leader. You never see him coming. At first, you see his dimpled smile and soft brown eyes and you are tricked into believing that he is harmless. But when the moment comes to it, he strikes. His cold demeanor and powerful actions are enough to scare anyone.
Scott walked behind his teacher, dragging Allison along. Kira walked behind them with Lydia and Malia each on her side as the boys trailed behind them, making them look like their bodyguards. It was quite a sight actually.
Once they got to the Principal's office, Mr. Wilson, Allison, and Kira were the only ones allowed inside. The rest of The Pack were forced to stay behind.
"What happened?" Principal Thomas patiently asked as he looked at the two girls in front of him.
"It was her fault, Principal Thomas!" Allison quickly started to defend herself.
"Principal Thomas, you know Allison is a great student, she is not someone to act rashly. Obviously, Kira was the one to initiate the fight," Mr. Wilson said as she stood in between the two girls, obviously trying to get Kira in trouble.
"You didn't even see what happened Mr. Wilson; you're just using this opportunity to get me in trouble. It's not a secret that you hate my family" Kira said as she crossed her arms.
Mr. Wilson turned red with anger as he stared at the tiny girl "such disrespect" he murmured in rage making Kira roll her eyes.
"Kira, please" Principal Thomas sighed.
The principal had nothing against Kira or the rest of her family. He knew of the rumors going around about them being involved with the mafia, and they were probably true. But these kids never gave any kinds of problems while in school. On the contrary, they often kept to themselves, only hanging out with each other and keeping excellent grades.
"Apologize" Mr. Wilson demanded, making Allison look all kinds of smug.
"I'm not going to apologize for something I don't regret. I told you a thousand times Allison to stay away from my family but you continue to be a pest in our lives; so, this is are the consequences."
"Kira" Principal Thomas sighed "you just admitted in attacking Allison."
"I was defending myself! She was the one who hit me first Principal Thomas! She attacked me! I wasn't going to let her get away with it!"
"Is this true Allison?" Principal Thomas asked.
"Of course not Principal, you know I would never do anything like that," She said in the sweetest voice possible.
"Principal Thomas, Allison has always been an exceptional student. You can't possibly believe that she would be the one to start all of this" Mr. Wilson said as he defended Allison.
"You are such a two-faced bitch." Kira told Allison with an incredulous face as.
"Kira that's enough!" Principal Thomas ordered "I'm sorry Kira, but I can't turn my head the other way. You will have detention every day for a week both during lunch as well as after school."
"Didn't you hear what I just said! My God, I can't believe you believe the crap that comes out of her mouth!" Kira exclaimed as she stood up and glared at the principal.
"Kira, Mr. Wilson is backing up Allison's claims, and it doesn't help that you keep telling us that you don't regret hitting her. Look at the state you left her!" he sighed out as he pointed at a very roughed up Allison. Her hair was a mess, and she had a couple of bruises forming on her arms and face.
"You know what, fine! Whatever, it's not like you'll believe me anyways." Kira spits out.
She turned to look at Allison "you're just a jealous little girl that can't admit that she lost." She then turned to Mr. Wilson "you're a condescending and pathetic man that hates my family and would do anything to hurt us." Lastly, she turned to Principal, "and you need to learn how to make decisions by yourself, instead of being weak and letting everyone manipulate you!"
"Ms. Yukimura! That's enough!" Principal Thomas yelled in anger "You just earned another week of detention!"
"I would gladly go to detention Principal Thomas because I regret nothing of what I've done and said. Now if you excuse me, I have a couple of minutes left for lunch, and I'm hungry! Considering that I won't be going home tonight until late, I think I have the right to eat."
Kira stood up and walked out of the office but stopped by the door.
"Oh," she said as she turned to look at Mr. Wilson "I'll leave it to you to tell my father of what happened, let's see if he believes your claims of everything being my fault" she smirked as she saw Mr. Wilson gulped. Although her father was calm and pacific most of the time, when Ken Yukimura gets mad, there is hell to pay. Unfortunately for the teacher, he had seen this side of Mr. Yukimura when the issue of Liam's test occurred, nothing made Kira happier at that moment but knowing how this idiotic man was afraid of her dad.
As soon as Kira step outside of the office as she saw the entire Pack waiting for her which really wasn't surprising at all; she gulped already knowing what will happen. When she tells them of her punishment, they will not be happy about it. Without saying a word, she grabbed Scott's hand and started pulling him, the rest of The Pack followed.
"What did they say Kira" Scott demanded as he pulled her back, stopping her from walking further.
Kira sighed as she looked at all of their worried faces. She bit her lip, not saying anything. She knew they would not like this.
"I have two weeks of detention both during lunch and after school. Allison wasn't punished. They didn't believe me when I told them that I didn't initiate the fight. Mr. Wilson backed up Allison, and Principal Thomas believed him" She said quietly, still angry at the outcome.
She gulped as she saw all of their faces harden with anger.
Then her eyes widen, as she noticed Malia – who was standing behind Lydia, Isaac, and Liam – let go of Stiles' hand and stormed back into the office.
"Malia no!" Kira yelled as the rest turned around to see her running back to the office.
They all went to stop her, but none of them were fast enough.
Just as Malia was entering the Main Office, Allison and Mr. Wilson were coming out of the back, out from the principal's office.
Malia didn't stop as she saw them, rather increased her speed and without warning, she raised her hand and forcefully slapped Allison; the impact was so hard that it made her stumble back into Mr. Wilson.
"Malia!" Stiles yelled as he got a hold of her.
"That" she breathed out "is what happens when you mess with my family; when you mess with my sister."
"Ms. Hale!" Principal Thomas screamed out as he stepped out of his office.
"Since you all seem to believe that a member of my family was the first to attack this bitch, I thought I would make it come true. Don't worry Principal Thomas; I will be attending detention with Kira, see you after school" she said as she looked at the shell-shocked face of her principal.
"Not another step! Either of you!" the principal yelled with raged "you are the student, you will not be telling me what to do! In my office NOW!"
They all stared startle at the principal's outburst. Malia's face morphed with anger as she tried to take a step forward towards their principals but Kira hold onto her tightly. She didn't want Malia to do anything stupid.
"Is not up to you to decide your punishment, your parents will be called now the three of you IN!"
The members of the pack growled at the way their principal talked to Kira and Malia, but Scott decided that it was better for his parents to get involved. They were the adults and even though he hated to admit it, they will most likely take their opinion and actions as more important than theirs.
Without another word, Kira pulled Malia inside the office, the principal and Allison following.
"Principal Thomas Allison – "
"Enough Mr. Wilson" The principal snapped "I already heard what you have to say, this is something I will deal with the girls and their families, now go teach your class."
The Pack glared at Mr. Wilson. No doubt that he wanted to stay behind and berated both girls again.
Mr. Wilson shuffled uncomfortably as he cleared his throat "what are you doing just standing there? Get to class!" He glared at the teens as he walked out of the office.
The three girls sat in front of the desk with Kira sitting between Malia and Allison. She knew that once Malia becomes angry, it was tough for her to control her temper and she needed to make sure she wouldn't launch at Allison and get into even more trouble.
They sat in silence, not saying anything. Their Principal harshly glaring at them but it didn't affect the girls in any way. Honestly, this man's glare compared to Melissa's, or Noshiko's was a joke itself.
After a while of just sitting there in silence, they were all startled when the door suddenly flew open as a very angry looking Mr. Argent walked through the door heading towards his daughter.
"What the hell happened here?!" he yelled.
"Mr. Argent, please calm down" Principal Thomas pleaded but it was as if he was talking to a wall. Mr. Argent ignored him and turned his attention towards Kira.
"I knew you were trouble the moment I learned about you" he hissed as he started to menacingly walk towards the girls making both Kira and Malia tense.
"Stop right there!" a voice stopped him.
Kira and Malia turned to see both Melissa and Peter walking in. Melissa quickly walked towards the girls standing between them and staring down at Mr. Argent.
"What do you think you're doing Mr. Argent?" Melissa asked with an ice-cold voice.
"You need to teach these girls some manners! They're out of control! Look at what they did to my daughter! But of course, what else could I expect from these spawns –"
"ENOUGH!" everyone jumped at the intensity of Peters' voice "I would choose what you say next about my girls very careful Argent" the two men stood face to face trying to intimidate each other.
"Both of you calm down, we're here to discuss what happened, not to get into another fight!" Melissa snapped.
"Mrs. Hale is right. Gentlemen if you please." The principal pleaded.
Peter gave Chris Argent one last cold looked before walking towards the girls.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hale, Mr. Argent. You were called because both Kira and Allison were involved in a fight in the hallway. Now, since Kira's parents are still out of town, I had to call you Mr. and Mrs. Hale. Kira has already confessed to attacking Allison."
Peter took a step closer towards Mr. Argent when he sent a menacing glare to Kira.
"Kira, honey, what happened?" Melissa asked turning to look at the small girl. She knew Kira, and she knew that otherwise provoked, Kira wouldn't start a fight just like that.
"Melissa, Peter, I'm sorry for causing so much trouble to you, but I just couldn't stand there and do nothing. She hit me first, I simply returned the action." Kira replied as she stood tall next to Melissa because like she had said before, she regretted nothing.
"There you go, while I don't condone violence Kira was simply defending herself."
"You don't condone violence?" Chris Argent scoffed at Melissa "Please considering what you people do it wouldn't surprise me if you urged her to hurt my daughter."
"Oh my God is no wonder Allison is such a bitch, she gets it from you. Do you really need to bitch and whine at every single thing my mom says? You barely even let her finish a fucking sentence!" Malia growled.
"Malia!"
"Well she isn't wrong," Peter said but quickly shut up when Melissa sent him a deathly glare.
"Why don't we all just calm down!" Principal Thomas demanded "I need you here to discuss your daughter's behavior, but both you men keep acting like teenagers."
"Principal Thomas is right," Melissa said, "no matter the hate between families, we need to talk about this with civilized people."
"We were in an argument okay!" Allison yelled as she stood up "We were arguing, it got out of control, and we ended up fighting, that's it!"
"Melissa, I already accepted responsibility. I know there are consequences for every action we make. I accepted the two weeks of detention that I was given without protest."
Melissa and Peter smiled at Kira, proud at the maturity that she was displaying.
"Well, what about Allison?" Malia asked.
"I wasn't going to assign Ms. Argent any detention but considering that she was involved in the fight, she will have three days."
"Three days? Kira and I have two weeks!" Malia protested.
"A teacher is backing up Allison, and since Kira admitted in attacking Allison that will be the punishment she will get" The Principal stated as he looked between both girls.
Peter was about to speak up, in anger once again but Melissa gave him a look in warning. No matter what they said, there was nothing that will change the principal's mind.
"Okay I understand why Kira is here, but what did Malia do?" Melissa asked in confusion.
Malia winced, knowing exactly what was coming. She closed her eyes as she started to hid behind Kira.
"You're the girlfriend of our Alpha. Do your duty and protect me!" she whispered to Kira while she tried her best to make herself smaller. While Malia was seriously scared about how much trouble she would get for hitting someone, Kira let out a little giggle, amused at the girls fear of her mother.
"After talking to both Kira and Allison, Malia came back and slapped Ms. Argent."
"What!" Mr. Argent boomed out.
Melissa simply glared at the man and then at her daughter. "Very well then, that being said my daughter will attend detention with Kira. Is that all?"
"Yes, that will be all. Ms. Yukimura, Ms. Hale, Ms. Argent I will meet you after school, and we'll talk about what you'll be doing during detention."
And with that, the two sets of families began to exit the office.
"You better keep your devil spawns from my daughter" Chris sneered once they were in the quiet hallway.
"You call my girls or any of my kids that one more time and I swear – "
"What" Chris cut Peter off with a smirk "you'll kill me, go ahead, at least you'll give me the opportunity to put you behind bars like the animal you are."
"Out of the two, you were always the self-absorbed one. This isn't about us Chris, is about our daughters, yet you always find a way to make your police job dictate how to act in life. Is a pity, you even let it dictate how you raise your daughter. You're so blinded by your hate towards us that you don't realize you're ruining your own daughter" and with that Peter left a furious Chris Argent as he guided his girls towards the front of the school.
"I cannot believe you two!" Melissa fumed as she kept walking "how many times have I told you not to get involved in fights during school?!"
Kira and Malia just look at each other, almost afraid to say something.
"Melissa, I'm sorry, really I am, but there was no way I was just going to stand there after she slapped me."
"Why did she slap you?" Peter wonder.
Kira took a deep sigh as she glared at the floor in anger "she was angry because Scott and I are together. For some reason, in her delusional mind, she believes Scott still loves her. So, when I gave her a dose of the truth, she lost it and slapped me."
Melissa and Peter stared at the small girl. They could understand where she was coming from. Scott was very important to Kira as she was to him and she was trying to keep the girl that hurt him so much away. Unfortunately, this was the way it happened.
Melissa then turned to Malia "but you young lady."
"Mom, I'm sorry."
"You're sorry? I told you last time that you would be grounded for the rest of your life if you as much as touch another student!"
Malia winced, and she looked at the floor, not knowing what to say. She often let her anger control her and doesn't think about the consequences that might come after.
"Melissa" Kira interrupted "honestly; I can't really blame Malia for the actions she took. If it were the other way around, I would've probably felt the same way. Keep in mind, I might've acted in a different way, without getting in trouble" she gave Malia a pointed look, "but I would have done something around the same"
Peter smiled at how Kira was handling the situation. There was no doubt in his mind that Kira fits perfectly in his family. She was loyal, smart and loving towards the rest of The Pack.
Melissa took a deep sigh before she turned to look at her husband. Peter didn't say anything, simply gave her a small smiled and a shrug, clearly showing his support to Kira and Malia.
"Okay, I can see your point. But you have to learn how to control your anger better Malia. Kira, Malia, you are both grounded for the weekend. No going out anywhere, you're going to stay home and help the staff clean. Am I understood?"
"Yes mam." both Kira and Malia said simultaneously while looking a little dejected.
"Now go to class," Melissa said as she gave them both a kiss on the cheek "one of the boys will come after detention to pick you up."
Peter smirked as he walked closer and gave both girls a kiss on their forehead "just so that you know, I thought what you did was pretty badass"
"Peter! Do not encourage them!" Melissa yelled as he dragged Peter out of the school.
Kira and Malia looked at each other before the burst out laughing. After a couple of seconds, Kira sighed and quickly dragged Malia towards their next period; a class they only had with Lydia and Isaac.
Their teacher glared at them for being late and usher them to sit.
"What the hell happened? How much trouble are you in?" Isaac quietly asked as Lydia looked at the two girls, her eyes asking them if they were okay. She sighed in relief when both Kira and Malia nodded.
"Mom and dad came, a whole scene was formed with Allison's dad, but everything turned alright at the end. We do have detention during lunch and after school for the next two weeks though" Malia grumble as she took out her notebook and started taking notes on the stupid subject. Her mom would seriously be mad this time if she failed any of her classes.
"At least we'll be together" Kira whispered to her, making Malia smile.
The rest of the day went without any trouble. Well, if you don't count the whispering from the entire school behind their backs trouble. Everyone was still in shock at what had taken place; they saw another and darker side of the nice kids in school. Not that The Pack cared much, they never cared about what others thought about their family.
Once the bell that for the end of the day ranged, the girls started to walk towards the parking lot so they could meet The Pack.
As soon as they walked outside, their family quickly walked towards them to make sure they were okay.
"Are you alright?" Scott asked as he caressed her cheek.
Kira nodded "we're fine, both of us, we just have detention for two weeks. Three of those days we'll be sharing it with Allison."
"Which completely sucks and is totally unfair that she'll only get three days" Malia breathed out "but at least mom isn't as mad as I thought she would be, although Kira and I are both grounded for the weekend but it isn't too bad." She then turned to look at Stiles "I'm sorry but humans are friends did not cross my mind. Not once."
Stiles rolled his eyes, but Malia could see a smile trying to form on his lips.
"I still don't understand what happened," Liam said as he slung his shoulders over Kira and Malia's shoulder.
Kira sighed "don't really want to talk about it in the parking lot Cub; we'll tell you the story when we get home. Anyways, we should head over before we get into more trouble. Who's going to pick us up?"
"Stiles and I will come" Scott said. He looked down towards Kira and frowned at the light bruise forming on her cheek from the slap that Allison had given her. Kira reached up and gave him a peck, trying to distract him from the bruise.
"Okay, you two" Lydia said as she walked towards the girls and hugged them both "I expect full details when you get home. Liam and I will be staying tonight. But please for the love of God, don't get into any more fights, is bad enough that I have to spend lunch for two weeks with just boys" she scrunched her nose jokingly as she looked at the boys.
"Oh, you love us," Liam said as he kissed her on the cheek.
"Alright guys, we'll see you in a couple of hours."
Both girls gave their boyfriends one last kiss before Kira grabbed Malia's hands and dragged her towards the main office.
Once they got there, they both internally groaned as they saw Allison waiting there as well. Kira made sure to wait for their principal at the other side of the office. Malia made sure to glare at the girl the entire time.
"Alright, you three" they all turned towards the door to see their principal walk through "during lunch, you will meet at the library where you will eat and do your homework. After school is a different story. There are a couple of rooms that we have not use in a while, and since we are thinking of adding classes next semester, your job will be to clean."
Malia's jaw dropped "What?!"
"Ms. Hale, this is your own fault. There will be no whining" Principal Thomas glared.
Malia didn't say anything else but gave him a murderous look while she clenched her fist.
"Follow me" he ordered.
The three girls walked without saying a word.
Malia groaned once they entered a very dirty looking classroom.
"Your supplies are here. I'll be coming every once in a while to check on you. You start another fight, and I'll add another week of detention," and with that, he left.
"Great" Malia huffed "we have to clean here, and we have to clean the manor this weekend. Clean, clean, clean, what are we maids?"
Kira giggled "relax; it'll be over soon."
The three girls made an extreme effort to ignore each other. While Allison put on some headphones and headed to one side of the room, Kira and Malia moved to the opposite side of the room to be as far away from her as possible.
"I can't believe you hit Allison."
"Why not," Malia asked "for me, it was instinct. I know I promised I wouldn't get into a fight in school anymore and I would learn to control myself, but my god! I hate that girl; she had it coming. She blamed you for what we all know she started and got you in trouble for two weeks. And I know that you said you could handle it, you've said it multiple times. Proved it too. But I just couldn't stop myself Kira, I just acted. And I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get us into more trouble but I couldn't help it and oh my god I think your rambling is contagious!" Malia said as she came to a stop.
Kira didn't say anything, she just smiled, and without warning, she launched herself at Malia hugging her tightly.
"Although I would've preferred you didn't get in trouble, thank you," Kira said sincerely. This was still all new to her. Yes, she was defiantly a member of The Pack already, she loved everyone, and everyone loved her; but she grew up with no friends and the amount of love that these people were giving her still amazed her.
She loved it; it made her feel so happy.
"You were great out there you know," Malia said as she started to wipe the windows "you acted like a true leader. You took full responsibilities and explained your actions. I could tell mom and dad were proud of you for the way you handle the situation."
"Really?" Kira asked with a light but happy smile.
"Yeah" Malia smiled "there's no doubt in our minds that you are perfect for Scott. You two know how to handle the situations carefully while making sure no further mess is made. That's what makes you great leaders. I could never do that, that's why I'm glad Scott will be the one to take care of our business when dad retires."
"It doesn't bother you?" Kira wondered.
"Are you kidding" Malia scoffed "I would be horrible at it. You know me, I let my anger control me. I attack and ask questions later, that's not a good characteristic for a leader. It will get us into too much trouble. Scott on the other hand, he's perfect for it. I'm really proud of him."
Kira gave her a kind and proud smile.
"What?" Malia asked, feeling a little embarrassed. She never told this to anyone else before. Her dad asked her once if she minded if Scott would be next in line and when she said no the subject was dropped. The only person that knew what she was truly feeling was Lydia, but this was a discussion they had a very long time ago.
"That's very sweet of you Mal. It makes me feel proud. It takes great character to admit your flaws."
"Oh, you know, you learn from your mistakes" Malia sighed "plus, it wouldn't do me any good if I didn't."
"Anyways, I'm perfectly happy with my position, I think the name Were-Coyote is pretty cool" Malia said as she sent Kira a wink making the smaller girl giggle.
The girls continued working for the next two hours. Throughout the hours, Kira made sure that they were as far away from Allison as possible. Like Malia had admitted herself, she attacked first and asked questions later; if Allison were to say something that got into Malia's nerves she was sure that the 'were-coyote' would not hesitate to hurt the annoying girl.
At the end of detention, both Kira and Malia were exhausted. Their clothes were a little dirty, their hair was messy, and sweat was dripping down their forehead.
"And this is the first day" Malia whined as she and Kira walked outside where both Stiles and Scott were already waiting.
Both girls quickly got in the backseat of Stiles Jeep and slumped against the seats.
"You girls okay?" Stiles asked as he asked, looking at them from the rearview mirror.
"Yeah" both girls answered quietly.
"How was detention? You didn't get into more trouble, did you?" Scott asked.
Malia scoffed "do not worry your pretty little head big brother. There is no way I will be adding another week of detention to this hell."
Both Stiles and Scott frowned "what on earth are you two doing?" Stiles asked.
"Cleaning classrooms" Malia scoffed "whatever, at least Kira is with me. I would go crazy if I didn't have anyone to talk to."
Kira gave her a small smile as the two boys in front of her chuckled.
Once they got to the mansion, both Kira and Malia quickly walked inside.
"Finally!" Lydia sighed out as she walked closer to both girls "I can't believe you have to do this for two freaking weeks."
"You can't believe?!" Malia exclaimed "Kira, and I are the ones who actually have to go to detention."
Lydia rolled her eyes and then scrunched her nose "why do you smell like that?"
It was Malia's time to rolled her eyes "oh our punishment is to clean fucking classrooms" she said as both she and Kira walked into the dining room.
"Marie, please bring Malia and me something to eat" Kira told one of the maids as they sat down.
"Alright, you're here. Now Kira, what on earth happened?" Lydia asked as she sat down next to the girls. The rest of The Pack followed.
Kira sighed "Allison was angry because Scott and I are together. It's like you all said this morning, she wasn't going to let it go. She went into this ridiculous rant about how Scott would only love her blah, blah, blah. I got angry and basically told her she was crazy. She did not like that, so she slapped. I returned the favor and the rest you know."
Both Kira and Malia started to wolf down their food. Because of the fight, they had skipped lunch and didn't have the time to eat after school since they had to go straight to detention.
"I always knew that chick was crazy. I was right not to like her" Malia mumbled as she drank some water.
"You don't like anyone, so that wasn't really a clue" Isaac scoffed. "Anyways, I'm glad you're okay Kira, and I was absolutely delighted when I saw that Allison got the most damaged out of the two."
"Yeah well out of the two, she was the one that didn't get in trouble. Even though Principal Thomas decided to give her detention, he only gave her three days! I mean come on, she was the one that hit Kira first, yet she gets punished worse than Allison?" Malia huffed "so freaking unfair."
"Principal Thomas believed every single word coming from Mr. Wilson's mouth" Kira rolled her eyes "that stupid teacher backed up everything Allison said even though most of it was a lie."
Scott clenched his fist in anger as the rest of The Pack scoffed.
"How much trouble are you with Melissa?" Liam asked.
"Kira was able to explain everything and calm her down" Malia explained, "we're grounded for this weekend, we need to help the staff clean the mansion."
The rest of The Pack turned to look at Kira who was too busy stuffing food down her throat to notice.
Scott smiled softly and caressed the top of her head. She seemed to amazed him every time with every action she took.
"Sorry" she sheepishly said, "I'm starving."
"Tell me about; I feel like I haven't eaten in days" Malia murmured into her cup.
Lydia sighed heavly as she looked at the two girls. "I can't believe you two got into so much trouble. What am I going to do without my girls" she whined as she rested her forehead against Isaac's arm.
"Aw baby, you have us," Isaac said as he rubbed her back. Lydia lifted her head and glared at him making him back away slightly.
"It is not the same. Being the only girl in a group with four boys is not fun."
"It'll be over soon Lyds, don't worry" Malia reassured her.
"I guess. Ugh, stupid Allison, why does she have to ruin everything" Lydia whined.
They sat around the table as both Kira and Malia finished eating. Once they were done, they moved to the living room. They were just talking and spending time together.
Usually, Lydia and Kira liked to finish their homework before doing anything else, and Isaac and Scott would join them just to spend more time with the girls; many times the rest of the group would follow as well.
Today was different. It had been a day filled with so much drama, and for once the just focused on spending time with each other rather than worrying about anything else. While everyone was happily chatting, Scott took the opportunity to drag Kira to the gardens so they could talk in private. Once they were alone, Scott sighed heavily as he ran his fingers through the bruise on her Kira's cheek. He then pulled her closer and gave her a tender kiss on her forehead before hugging him towards him.
"I'm sorry for what happened with Allison."
"Scott it wasn't your fault," Kira said as she detached herself from his embrace and looked him in the eye "it was her. She's obsessed with you. I don't know if she'll ever let go. There was no way I was just going to stand there and let her run her mouth."
Scott smiled lightly "yeah, I didn't think you would. I just wished you hadn't gotten hurt."
"Scott" Kira whispered as she put a hand on his cheek. "I told you, I can handle her. I can handle this. You can't protect me from her crazy self, and I don't want you to. I'm not your typical girl remember, I can defend myself."
Scott harshly swallowed as he nodded. He knew it was true, Kira didn't need anyone to protect her, it was self-evident that she could do it herself without any help. Still, he couldn't help but worry.
"Scott, stop. Everything is fine. A couple of days of detention is not going to kill me. Plus, I have Malia with me, it won't be so bad." Kira said.
Scott's lips quirked up, and Kira giggled "come on, just hug me" she sighed as she snuggled against his chest.
Scott sighed as he closed his eyes, fully content with the feeling of having his girlfriend in his arms. The two stayed like that for a couple of minutes before they joined the rest in the living room. By then, both Peter and Malissa had returned home and had joined the teenagers. They spent the rest of the day just enjoying each other's company and it was perfect.
When the night came and everyone started going to bed, Lydia and Malia joined Kira in her room so they would be able to talk. After a couple of minutes of chatting about everything, Kira brought up a sour subject.
"You know," Kira said "we've talked about how much Allison hurt Scott but we've never talked about you guys, I mean she was your friend right? That must've been tough."
Lydia and Malia looked at each other not knowing what to say. Lydia sighed deeply before looking Kira.
"You're right" Lydia nodded "it was a bit tough. At the beginning, we weren't sure what to think about Allison, but slowly we started to trust her. It hurt knowing that someone we considered our friend was only using said friendship to bring our family down. Next, to Scott, I was the one closest to Allison."
It was true, at one-point Lydia and Allison had become great friends. Mind you, not as close as Lydia and Malia were but either way, Lydia put her trust in their friendship only for Allison to stab her in the back. "When we heard her talk that day on the park about how difficult it was to get information on our family I was so angry. I swear I think at that moment I channeled my inner Malia because I didn't even think, I just walked up to her and started slapping her." Lydia sighed "It hurts when you realized that you had put your trust on someone that didn't deserve it."
Malia angrily shook her head "I always knew she was a bitch."
Lydia let out a choked laugh "oh God Kira; you should've seen how they were the first couple of months. Malia gave her such a hard time. Melissa often got her in trouble for it, and Scott would get so pissed!"
Malia gave both girls a proud smile as Lydia continued to laugh, remembering all the times Malia would make Allison's life hell. "It was kind of funny actually. Everyone worked so hard to keep Malia away from Allison; Stiles was exasperated. Melissa as well, but no matter what, it took Malia so long for her to actually warm up to Allison and even then, she was always cold towards her."
Malia shrugged "I just never trusted her. There was something off about her, and my gut told me not to trust her. I was right!"
"Always listen to Malia's gut" Kira teased as the other two girls started to giggle uncontrollably.
"God" Kira sighed as she rubbed her eyes, all of a sudden the atmosphere changed from silliness to the complete opposite. "There are so many times when I wish that we weren't in this field you know? I have constantly imagined how our lives would've been if we were just… normal. There is so much betrayal and hate that there are times in which I feel so suffocated."
Lydia and Malia swallowed harshly as their hearts started to beat faster with emotions. Their own eyes watering as they witnessed Kira's eyes doing the same.
"There have been so many times where I been scared that one of my parents wouldn't return home. That I wouldn't be able to see someone I love again. But – but at the same time, our families – The Pack and the Yukimura's – are filled with so much love and trust that is hard to imagine my life without it. I once told Scott that the beauty of this field is that when you find the people you truly and genuinely love and trust, they stay with you. Even though I know this, it doesn't stop from making feel so terrified."
Lydia and Malia didn't say anything. They were too familiar with that feeling. There were so many times when they had been so afraid of the outcomes, of what could happen to one of their loved ones. Of what could happen if they never return.
"That's why you have us" Lydia choked out "we will always protect each other. No matter what happens, we will always be united. As you said, we are filled with so much love and trust, and that's all we need to succeed. No family can be strong without trust, and that is something that we do not lack. We're fighters Kira, and although that many times it can be terrifying, it also means that we will never stop fighting for our family."
As Lydia had finished her little speech, Kira and Malia had scooted closer and hugged the strawberry blonde hair girl; all three of them crying. They stayed like that for a couple of minutes, loving the reassuring feeling that the three were receiving.
"Ugh" Malia groaned as she cleaned her cheeks "stupid tears. I'm going to bed. This is too heavy and mushy, and I'm tired" she said as she stood up.
"Me too" Lydia sighed as she too stood up "it's already late, and it has been a long day. You two need to rest as much as possible. Two weeks of cleaning classrooms are not going to be easy."
"Don't remind me" Kira whined as she buried her face on her pillows.
Lydia and Malia snickered as they both gave the tiny girl a kiss on the cheek, leaving the room afterward.
Malia was tired and emotional from the events of the day, but even though she was exhausted she couldn't sleep. So, like every other time that she couldn't rest, Malia sneaked into Stiles room. It has been a very long and stressful day. She didn't mind going to detention since she would be with Kira but she was frustrated with how they got there.
"Stupid Argents" she mumbled as tried to make herself comfortable. Apparently, Stiles was as tired as she was – which she found ridicules, Kira and her where the ones who were cleaning dirty classrooms for two hours – because he was sprawled on the left side of the bed holding the bleakest tightly towards him.
"Stiles" she sighed in frustration as she tried to get some of the blankets for herself but nothing seemed to work.
"Stiles I'm cold!" she whined. She kept moving him, trying to get him to let go of the blanket but to no avail. After a couple of seconds of the same thing over and over, she got so exasperated that with her right foot she gave him a sharp kick making fall off of the bed.
Stiles yelped in surprised; he looked around not understanding what happened and how he ended in the floor; with a slight ache on his back none the less.
"Stop hogging the fucking blankets!" she yelled as she turned her back from him and grabbed the blankets for herself making herself comfortable.
"What the hell?" he murmured under his breath as he started to climb back into bed. He sighed as laid down next to his girlfriend.
"Malia" Stiles whined like a five-year-old "share the blanket!"
"How does that feel huh?" Malia mocked, but turned around and let him some blankets non the less.
"So, so tired" Stiles murmured as Malia snuggled him against her. Malia lifted her head to look at him. Her lips quirked up to a satisfactory smiled as she gave him a soft voice on his cheek.
Stiles unconsciously smiled a little as he continued to snuggle against her, making Malia's heart clench with warmth.
With that, Malia laid her head back down and closed her eyes, letting herself fall into a deep sleep.
"Mal" Malia heard a whisper as well as feeling something poking her cheek.
Malia groaned, she was still so tired, she didn't want to wake up.
"Mal" another freaking whisper with a poke; she was begging to get angry.
"Mal"
"Fucking what?!" she almost yelled as she swatted the source of the poke from her face.
"Get up baby," a voiced said, sounding immensely amuse.
Malia opened her eyes to see Stiles perched on one arm, looking with amusement and affection in his eyes.
"Come on; we have to get ready. If we don't go down to breakfast Melissa will be angry" Stiles chuckled.
Malia huffed as she rubbed her eyes trying to wake herself up. Finally, she decided that making her mother mad at her again was definitely not worth it so after giving Stiles a small kiss; she headed towards her bedroom.
Once she had changed in her outfit for school, she headed downstairs where everyone was already waiting.
"Morning" she mumbled.
"Sleepy?" Peter asked as he kissed his daughter's cheek.
"Ugh, I feel like Lydia now, I need coffee to be able to wake up."
Lydia giggled from the dining room table as she took a sip of her coffee.
"Hey Mal," Derek said as he walked towards her with a big smile on his face "Liam just told me of what happened yesterday. Pretty cool if you ask me."
"What is it with you Hale men and encouraging my children to fight?" Melissa asked looking all kinds of frustrated with her hands on her hips.
Derek chuckled as he leaned closer and whispered into Malia's ear. "Whatever your mom says, I feel pretty proud of you kid."
Malia smiled widely as she walked towards the table and sat next to Stiles giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Malia, Kira, you girls make sure to eat everything during lunch okay, you're not going to be home until hours later. Oh, and I expect the both of you to be in your best behaviors in school. No more getting in trouble and I understood?" Melissa glared.
"Yes mam" both Kira and Malia answered simultaneously.
"Good." Melissa said with a stern nod.
"I'm going to miss you guys during lunch" Liam pouted.
"Aw Cub, we're going to miss you too." Malia pouted as well. She knew she didn't have a choice about going to detention, and she definitely did not regret slapping Allison – that felt too good – but that doesn't mean she's supposed to enjoy it. Two weeks of cleaning classrooms are going to be hell.
As soon as they were done eating, they all got into their vehicles and started their way to school.
Scott felt Kira laid her head against his back as he drove through the streets on their way to school.
As soon as they got to school, they all met at their usual spot, Lydia and Malia sat on the bench, everyone happily chatting with one another.
Scott smiled softly as he pulled Kira giggled at something Stiles said. He drew closer to him with one hand over her shoulders and gave her a sweet kiss on the side of her head. As he was kissing her head, something caught his attention. It was Allison; she was just getting out of her car and was looking through her bag. He tensed a bit and clenched his jaw. He wanted to talk to her, he needed to get things straight, but he didn't know if right now was the best moment. Not with everyone around. If Malia or Lydia saw her talking to him, they would snap. It was absolutely no secret of how protective those two were.
"Scott?" Kira's voice broke him out of his internal debate and turned to look at his girlfriend "you okay?" she asked.
Scott hesitated before looking back at Allison "I'm going to talk to her."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Kira asked with a worried frown.
Scott sighed and then kissed her forehead again "yeah, I need to do it."
"Okay" Kira nodded "I'll take The Pack inside so you can have some privacy."
Scott gave her a grateful smile. He loved that she didn't even question him. She trusted him completely and knew that she didn't have anything to worry about. So, with one last kiss, he started walking towards Allison. In the background, he could hear Kira telling everyone to go inside the school with her.
Scott walked with determination, his face void of emotion. He needed to make her understand that there was no more Allison and Scott, no matter how much she wanted it.
"Scott" Allison whispered, hope lacing her voice once she noticed that Scott was standing right in front of her.
"Come with me" Scott demanded with a cold voice as he started to walk to a more secluded area. "What the hell were you thinking? Why did you attack my girlfriend? Are you that dense to actually go after her?" he asked, anger clear in his voice.
"Scott, why are you doing this?" Allison asked in frustration "why are you lying to yourself; you know what you have with Kira will never be the same as what you had with me."
"You're right, it will never be the same" Scott nodded, and Allison started to perk up, looking at him with a hopeful smile "its way better" the smile that was planted on Allison's lips vanished and her lips started to tremble as her eyes full of hurt started to well with tears. "What I have with Kira is more real than what I ever had with you. I know Kira will never betray me, she will never hurt me the way you did. There is trust between us, between our families, something that never existed in our relationship. I should've listened to Malia when she told there was something wrong with you. She was right to hate you" Scott spit out.
Allison looked down, clearly trying to calm herself down as she bit her lips and tears started roll down her cheeks. She then lifted her head and looked straight into Scott's eyes "You're just doing this to hurt me. I get it okay I made I mistake, I never should've used your feelings for me to help my father, I know that now. But please, you love me, Scott, not her" she cried.
Scott couldn't help but scoff "love you? After everything? Allison, you made sure to kill the love I had for you when you decided to hurt my family."
"You – you don't mean that." Allison stuttered as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Allison I was in love with you. I loved you, and you betrayed me. You took my trust and destroyed it. Don't be surprised that I had moved on with someone that actually cares about me." Scott said through gritted teeth.
"I already said I was sorry" Allison cried.
"You're sorry?!" Scott snapped "you broke my heart, and all you can say is your sorry? You think that a simple apology will fix this? My feelings for you were real, but all you did was use them to your advantage. I stopped believing in love; I wanted nothing to do with it! Kira was the one who made me feel different. It was Kira who made me feel hope again, not you!"
Allison whimpered as she tried to control her tears but to no avail.
"Whatever" Scott huffed "you, and I had ended the day I found you in the park, frustrated because you hadn't found any information on my family to put them behind bars." Scott took one step closer to Allison as he menacingly looks into her eyes. "Stay away from my family. Stay away from my girlfriend. You try to pull the little stunt from yesterday ever again, and you'll understand the reason you father so desperately wants to put my family behind bars." And with that, he turned around and left.
Allison felt heartbroken. No matter what Scott said, she truly did love him. All she wanted was for him to give her another chance, all she wanted was for them to be together like they were at the beginning of their relationship. Allison stood there, crying silently as she rubbed her chest, trying to calm the pain. After a minute or two of crying, she roughly dried her tears and took a deep breath. She loves Scott, and she doesn't think that love will ever go away. No matter what Scott says, she won't give up. Her love for Scott was real back then and is real now. She would make him see it. One way or another.
