PART 3

Chapter 3x9: Shadow Ninjas

"Nate!" - Called out Stiles as soon as he arrived at his house - "Nate!" - He called out again running upstairs

He thought maybe the boy hadn't arrived but when he opened the door of his room he saw the boy sleeping on his bed curled up in a ball with his parent's file open and on the floor.

Stiles slowly approached the scene picking up the file reading the information on it realizing maybe Nate have read it, Nate's parents have divorced, his dad was living on the gym he owned here in Beacon Hills while his mother was now living in D. C. and working on a radio station.

The hazel eyed boy also read that there was an actual attempt to find Nate as he was reported missing by his mother after the divorce, but his father made no attempt of such thing, the case was dropped after a couple months later since they didn't find a boy named "Ignatius", apparently Derek helped Nate switch his school papers and other identifications with the name of "Nate Grant", so the police reported him as death since he had the diagnosis with cancer they thought he might have die living on the streets at the short time without treatment for his disease.

Stiles close the file and turned to the boy taking a better look of him realizing that he had tear stains on his face, he maybe had been crying until he fall sleep, he thought it was the best not to weight him with the issue he discovered, Nate had something else on going on and he didn't want to bother him, so he just put the file on the nightstand, change his clothes and joined Nate on the bed spooning him making the boy let out a sigh without waking up at the feeling of the pale boy's arms around him.


Nate woke up stirring when the sunlight hit his face, he slowly opened his eyes even he didn't want as he felt the warm body of his boyfriend spooning him from behind, he carefully turned around and bury his face on Stile's chest and moving his arms to hug the boy while the brown haired boy hugged back, he didn't sleep last night and just fake it like every morning to not worry the werewolf.

"Morning" - said Stiles

"Morning" - said Nate with his voice groggy as he just woke up

"Are you ok?" - asked Stiles feeling bad about asking the question but he needed to make sure of his boyfriend's well being

"I'm...okay, I guess" - answered Nate - "I'm sorry I read the file without you, but after that you said and something Lydia said I got the courage to do it, so I had to before I even get the chance to back out" - he explained

"No, babe, it's fine, you don't need to apologize, I don't need to pry on every little thing about your life"- said Stiles

"You don't pry on my life Stiles, you are part of it" - said Nate looking up at his boyfriend - "besides you told me you'll be there for me, so you are just supporting, not prying" - he added

"You know you say Lydia and I are the smartest people in the group, but you have a way with words unlike anyone" - said Stiles making Nate giggle a little looking down with a blush all over his face

"So...what about you? What did you find out yesterday that you had to do it by yourself?" - asked Nate

"It's nothing" - lied Stiles - "I was just trying to find something about how Barrow got to Kira, but I didn't found the clue I was looking for" - he continued to lie

Nate frowned when he pick up the change on Stiles heartbeat when he spoke those words, he just lied to him, the Delta was confused about why his boyfriend was lying but maybe he had a reason, besides since Stiles is worried about going overboard "prying" on his life, he shouldn't confront Stiles and make him feel uncomfortable about his ability to tell when he lies.

"Okay" - said Nate still a little unconvinced about playing along - "well, we better get ready and go to school" - he added

"Yeah, sure, let's go" - said Stiles kissing the top of the werewolf's head before both stand up to go and get ready for school


"Shadow Ninjas?" - asked Nate while he walked with Isaac and Lydia

"I know it sounds weird, but-" - trailed off Isaac

"Actually it doesn't" - interrupted Nate - "I mean we are in Beacon Hills, there was a serial killer with flies coming out of his tumor, I saw Kira absorbing electricity and we helped a werecoyote that turned out to be a girl that got lost after a car incident, nothing is weird anymore in here Isaac" - he explained

"Still, you need to be careful, they haven't marked you yet" - said Lydia

"Mark me? What am I? A cow on its way to become meat or something?" - said Nate with his eyebrows furrowed

"You think they are marking us to kill us later?" - asked Isaac before gulping

"I mean, that is what they do to cows before the butcher does his thing, right?" - stated Nate like it was the obvious answer

"No, but see I think they didn't want to hurt us since they just mark us and left, they only attacked us when the guys defended themselves, I didn't try to attack them and they didn't do anything to me just mark me" - said Lydia

"Do you have a way to attack them anyway? I know you carry pepper gas on your purse but didn't knew you had a sword to fight against "Shadow Ninjas", if you do have one you give Hermione a run for her money with her own black hole purse" - joked Nate

"Nate this is serious" - said Lydia with a stern tone

"Don't worry guys I can defend myself pretty well and if they do anything to me remember that I can heal faster than any other werewolf" - said Nate to them

"Still I think it would be the best if I stay with you" - said Isaac

"I don't need a bodyguard, I'm not Whitney Houston" - said Nate rolling his eyes while he opened his locker

"You, Scott and Kira are the only ones yet to be marked, they did it with the Twins, me, Isaac and even Derek" - explained Lydia

"I can't believe I miss Derek arriving" - complained Nate arranging his locker and backpack with the stuff he needed

"That is what you picked on from what I just said?" - asked Lydia incredulously

"I got a lot going on at the moment Lydia, I'm sorry if these "Shadow Ninjas" aren't my top priority, mostly if they are just marking people and not killing anyone" - said Nate

"You read the file last night, didn't you?" - Asked Lydia and the werewolf nodded before closing his locker and resume his walk with his two friends

"What file?" - asked Isaac confused

"A file about my parents, Stiles and Sheriff Stilinski helped me to find out if they are still in Beacon Hills after I left" - said Nate

"Are you gonna do anything about the information you find out?" - asked Lydia

"Yeah, sure I'm gonna go and pay a visit to my mom's apartment and my dad's gym and be like ''hey guys remember me? Guess what? I'm not dead HAAAAA!''" - said Nate sarcastically before yelling the last part in a nasally tone

"Like I told you before, you don't need to anything with the information you found there if you don't want to" - said Lydia

"Well I don't want to do anything about it...yet...maybe...I don't know, I'm still very unsure about it" - said Nate walking with his friends into the classroom

"Well whatever you decide, we are here with you" - said Isaac

"You sound like Stiles" - joked Nate while he looked for his boyfriend around the classroom without finding him, just Scott, Aiden and Ethan were around so he approached the Alpha - "Scott where is Stiles?" - He asked concerned

"He took a day sick, he wasn't feeling well" - said Scott

"But he was well this morning, I didn't see anything weird, why he didn't told me? Maybe I should go with him" - rambled Nate turning around before Scott grabbed his hand to stop him

"Wait Nate, maybe we should give him some space" - said Scott

"Screw that Scott, I'm gonna go and see if my boyfriend is fine" - said Nate

"You can't go alone, what if the creatures from last night find you?" - asked Scott

"I will defend myself" - stated Nate

"I'll go with him" - said Isaac

"Me too" - said Ethan

"My two exes going with me to help me find my current boyfriend?" - Asked Nate arching an eyebrow to both - "I don't think so" - he said

"Well only me, I'm your friend now, not just your ex" - said Isaac

Nate looked at Isaac and then turned to see Scott with a worry look on his face looking like a hurt puppy waiting for the Delta's answer hoping that if he go he may take on the Beta's offer to go with him at least.

"Ok, you can come with me" - said Nate rolling his eyes and Scott let go his hand as he felt more secure about the decision of his Delta
