Selene POV: Night of the championship game Selene went with Isaac. They just wanted something normal to do and Isaac said it was the right thing to do. Jackson was playing too.

Selene smiled and cheered watching Isaac and Stiles while keeping an eye on Jackson. It wasn't until the game ended that her world spun. Stiles scored the winning goal and she couldn't have been prouder then all the lights went out people were screaming and running.

When the lights came on Jackson was dead on the field but all Selene heard was Mr. Stilinski yelling.

"Where's Stiles?! Where the hell is my son?!"

Selene frantically looked around her eyes starting to glow and her claws coming out. Scott and Isaac rushed over to her both sensing her distress.

"Where is he? Where is he!?" She cried out clinging to Isaac as he grabbed her and she slid to the ground in panic.

"Selene it's okay we'll find him" Scott assured her.

Both Isaac and Scott soothed her terror enough her wolf retreated just enough to pass as human but the vengeance and bloodlust for those who took Stiles was just on the surface. Stiles' father came over to them.

"I got to meet with the medical examiner and try to figure out what happened with Jackson. I've got an APB out on Stiles. His Jeep is still in the parking lot so that means… the hell I don't know what that means. Um look… if he answers his phone If he answers his emails if any of you seen him…"

"We'll call you" Isaac said.

"Look he's probably just freaked out from all the attention or something. We'll find him" Scott said.

Selene not trusting herself to say anything remained silent.

"Yeah I'll see you okay?" Mr. Stilinski said before walking off. Then Coach walked over.

"McCall. We need you on the team okay? You know I can't put you on the field next season if you don't get your grades up."

"Yeah I know Coach" Scott said.

"All right. I mean I… I know I yell a lot but it's not like I hate you guys. Well I kind of hate Greenburg but you know that's different. It's Greenburg. I'm just saying we… I need you on the team. Get your grades back up."

"I will."

"I know."

Then Coach left.

"Is that everyone?" Scott asked.

"I think so" Isaac said making sure everyone was gone.

Then Scott ripped the door off Stiles' locker.

"You're gonna find him by scent?" Isaac asked.

Selene was rolling her neck and shoulders her wolf begging to be let out to hunt and find her mate.

"Yeah we both are" Scott said handing Isaac a shoe.

"But how come you get his shirt and I get his shoe?" Isaac asked.

"We need to talk" Derek said standing behind them.

"All of us" Peter said stepping around the lockers.

"Holy sh…" Scott started before Selene went flying by him claws and fangs out for Peter.

Derek caught her around the waist and stopped her.

"He's going to help but he can't if he's dead" Derek rationalized.

Her need to find Stiles spared Peter's life… for now.

Stiles POV: "Ow ow ow" Stiles said as he was thrown down the stairs into the Argents basement.

Right after the game he was grabbed thrown into a vehicle and brought here. As he finally turned on the lights he saw Erica and Boyd chained up in front of him. As he walked over to tell they started making noise behind duck taped mouths.

"Shh" Stiles said as he reached up to unchain them.

"Ow!" he jerked back getting a major shock from the chains.

"They were trying to warn you. It's electrified" Gerard said behind him.

"What are you doing with them?" Stiles asked.

"At the moment just keeping them comfortable. There's no point in torturing them they won't give Derek up. The instinct to protect their Alpha's too strong" Gerard explained.

"Okay. So what are you doing with me? Because Scott can find me all right? He knows my scent. It's pungent you know? It's more like a stench. He could find me even if I was buried at the bottom of a sewer covered in fecal matter and urine" Stiles babbled in fear.

"You gave a knack for creating a vivid picture Mr. Stilinski. Let me paint one of my own. Scott McCall finds his best friend bloodied and beaten to a pulp. How does that sound?"

"I think I might prefer more of a still life or landscape you know" Stiles murmered.

Gerard was looking at his neck at his scar.

"Ah where's your she-wolf mate Mr. Stilinski? She'll give me any information I want to get you back" Gerard smiled.

"My what?" Stiles asked confused.

"Your mate the she-wolf who marked you as her own binding herself to you and you alone. Now I'll only ask once more where is she?" Gerard asked sounding annoyed as he had to explain himself to Stiles.

Stiles shook his head in denial and fear. Fear for himself and Selene.

"What… what are you 90? Look I could probably kick your ass up and down this room" Stiles said.

Gerard hit him then knocked Stiles to the floor and no matter how much Stiles tried to make him stop Gerard just kept hitting him.

Selene POV: "What the hell is this?" Scott asked.

"You know I thought the same thing when I saw you talking to Gerard at the Sheriff's Station" Derek said earning him a growl from Selene.

"Okay hold on he… he threatened to kill my mom. And I had to get close to him. What was I supposed to do?"

"I'm gonna go with Scott on this one. Have you seen his mom? She's gorgeous" Peter said.

"Shut up" both Scott and Derek replied.

"Who is he?" Isaac asked.

"That's Peter Derek's uncle. Little while back he tried to kill us all and then we set him on fire and Derek slashed his throat" Scott said.

"Hi" Peter said as he waved.

"That's good to know" Isaac said softly.

"How is he alive?" Scott asked.

"Look the short version is he knows how to stop Jackson. And maybe save him" Derek told them.

"Well that's very helpful except Jackson's dead" Isaac said.

"What?" Derek asked not sounding happy.

"Yeah Jackson's dead. It just happened on the field" Scott said.

Silence met his revelation.

"Okay why is no one taking this as good news?" Isaac asked.

"Because if Jackson is dead it didn't just happen. Gerard wanted it to happen" Peter told him

"But why?" Derek asked.

"Well that's exactly what we need to figure out. And something tells me the window of opportunity is closing. Quickly."

Selene snarled loudly causing everyone to jump.

"You deal with Jackson… I'm finding Stiles now" she said before she took off running.

Stiles POV: Stiles' dad just got off the phone when he walked in.

"Oh come on Stiles. Where the hell are you?"

"Right here" Stiles said.

His dad took one look at his beat up face and stepped up to him.

"It's okay. Dad it's okay."

"Who did it?" his dad asked looking at the scrapes, cuts, and bruises.

"It's okay it was just a couple kids from the other team. You know they were really pissed about losing and I was… I was mouthing off you know. The next thing I know…"

"Who was it?"

"Dad I don't know. I didn't even see them really."

"I want descriptions."

"Look dad come on. It's not even that bad."

"I… I'm calling that school. I'm calling them and then I'll personally go down there and I'm gonna pistol-whip these little bastards!"

"Dad! I just…I said I was okay."

"God." Mr. Stilinski pulled Stiles into a hug and Stiles cried.

His dad finally left his room and he laid down on his bed. Now more than ever he felt helpless and weak. This is why he stayed away from Selene he wasn't good enough to be with her too weak or fragile not a strong wolf like Derek or even sadly Isaac.

There was a knock at his door.

"Dad I said I'm fine." The knock came again. "Come on dad how many times do I have to say…" Stiles murmured to himself as he got up to open the door.

"Hi" Selene said softly looking at him.

"Hi" he said back stunned.

"Your father let me in" she said still softly.

"He did? Yeah of course he did."

She reached up to touch his face but stopped herself.

"Who did it?"

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it. I'm fine."

She looked down a little worried and a little sad. Then when she took a deep breath he knew she was figuring out who hurt him.

"Gerard…" she said softly the look of in her eyes was beyond anger.

"Do you wanna come in?" Stiles asked trying to distract her from her rage.

Slowly she walked into his room.

"How are you?" he asked.

She let out a silent laugh.

"You're asking me how I'm doing when you're the one covered in bruises and cuts? How are you? Really" she said before he could say 'fine'.

He sat down on his bed.

"It hurts I felt so weak and helpless I…" she sat next to him.

"Stiles you are anything but weak or helpless. Scott would be in Peter's pack if not for your help. Being the only human in the world surrounded by the supernatural you are the strongest person I know" Selene said.

Stiles knew he still couldn't be with her and not trusting himself to just kiss her and beg her to take him back he stood up.

"Yeah well if I'm all that why didn't you tell me who and what you were?" he yelled slightly.

He saw the hurt and confusion on her face and it nearly killed him.

"I didn't want anyone to use you to get to me I wanted you safe. As safe as you can be anyway" she said softly also getting up.

"Why didn't you tell me I was your mate?"

"… Who told you?"

"Derek mentioned it but Gerard explained it. Why would you bind yourself to me forever?"

"Because I love you!" Selene yelled finally.

"I don't need you to protect me. I don't need you" Stiles said luckily Selene wasn't focusing on his heart beat to hear his lie.

Shaking her head slowly tears in her eyes she walked out of his room. Stiles sat on his bed knowing he just made the biggest mistake of his life letting Selene walk out his door.

"She left huh?" his dad asked coming up to his room.

"So is there uh anything there?"

"Yeah dad there really is but I messed up. Everything's so complicated."

"Ah listen I know getting beaten up and with what happened to Jackson had gotten you pretty shaken. But be happy about one thing. The game. You were amazing" his dad said walking into his room.

"Thanks dad."

"No I mean it. Look it was pretty much over. And then got the ball and you started running. You scored and the tide just turned. And you scored again and again. You weren't just MVP of the game. You were a hero."

"No I'm not a hero dad" Stiles shook his head.

"You were last night."

Then his dad left his room.

"I'm not a hero" Stiles said quietly to himself.

Stiles got a text from Scott. Simply get Lydia and meet Scott. So Stiles went out and picked Lydia up explaining she was needed to save Jackson.

Stiles dove all the way to the warehouse where Scott was and seeing what was happening Stiles drove right into the kanima.

"Did I get him?!" Stiles asked Lydia cause his eyes were closed.

The kanima jumped on the hood of Stiles' Jeep then.

"Whoa!" Stiles screamed as he and Lydia quickly got out of the Jeep.

"Jackson! Jackson!" Lydia yelled at the kanima as she stood right in front of him holding a key.

"Lydia!" Stiles tried to get to her but Scott stopped him.

The kanima looked at the key and slowly started to change into Jackson. He took the key from Lydia and looked at her then he slowly backed away and looked at Derek and spread his arms.

Both Derek and Peter stabbed him with their claws. When they backed off Lydia ran over to him and held him as he dropped to his knees the key falling from his fingers. Then she laid him on the ground slowly.

"Where's Gerard?" Allison asked.

"He can't be far" he dad said.

Suddenly Jackson started to get up. He threw his head back and howled like a real werewolf. Then Lydia ran to him and they hugged and clung to each other. Stiles who had tears in his eyes as he thought him and Selene could be like that.

"He scratched my Jeep" he said when Scott looked at him.

Stiles drove home and still felt miserable.

Selene POV: After leaving Stiles' she went home and moped. Isaac came in later and told her all that had happened.

The next morning they both went with Derek to the Hale house to see a symbol on the door.

"You haven't told him everything yet have you?" Peter said as Isaac looked at the symbol.

"What do you mean?" Isaac asked.

"Why do you think Derek was in such a hurry to build his pack? So eager to strengthen his power and his number? When there's a new Alpha people take notice" Peter explained.

"People like who? What is this? What does it mean?"

"It's their symbol and it means they're coming" Derek said.

"Who?"

"Alphas."

"More than one?"

"A pack of them."

"An Alpha pack" Peter said.

"They're not coming… they're already here" Selene said as her eyes started to glow red.

Stiles POV: Stiles and Scott drove out to the lacrosse field to practice.

"So you really think she's gonna come back to you?" Stiles asked about Allison.

"Yeah I know she is. What about you and Selene?"

"I don't know man it's so… complicated. I will say that I have been doing some major thinking though on me and her and the outcome is looking… good. If I can fix it"

"That's our life now. Complitcated." Scott laughed.

"Yeah okay. Why don't you just get into the goal and help me make team captain like you promised there big guy."

"Hey you know what I just realized? I'm right back where I started."

"What do you mean?" Stiles asked.

"I mean no lacrosse no popularity no girlfriend. Nothing."

"Dude you still got me."

"I had you before" Scott said.

"Yeah and you still got me. Okay? It's a life fulfilled."

"Very."

"Now remember no wolf powers."

"Got it."

"No I mean it. No super-fast reflexes no super eye sight no hearing none of that crap okay?"

"Okay. Come on."

Stiles went to throw then stopped.

"You promise?" Stiles asked.

"Would you just take the shot already?"

So Stiles threw the ball… and Scott used his super speed to stop it.

"I said no wolf powers!"

And their Summer began.
