A Tale
Of Two Packs
That Became One
Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here. This was an idea I was allowed to try my hand at thanks to scottmccute on Tumblr.
Summary: The McCall and Tate Packs aren't all that at ease around one another. At least not until a few events begin to bring them together.
Scott 'True Alpha' McCall was perhaps a bit on the wary side of life at the moment. As word was, a third body had been found, just as horribly mangled as the previous two were. Which only meant that this killer was only just getting warmed up and he had no damned idea if this meant the killer was normal or not so normal. It made the young man wonder what his old best friend Stiles Stilinski would have thought of the whole thing if he hadn't been a dumbass and allowed himself to be Bit by Peter Hale once upon a time. Something that had horribly backfired on him as his body had rejected the Bite and saw Jameson Stilinski retire from his position as Sheriff of Beacon Hills and eventually leave town. And in his place, would see Deputy Tara Graeme take over as Sheriff of Beacon Hills due to her time with the Sheriff's Department and the local city government feeling she was the ideal choice. Many in the town also felt she was ideal as well for the role.
Her appointment to Sheriff had also led to Scott choosing to willingly inform her of the more Supernatural elements that resided in town. As he had felt this was a smart choice to do as it would help keep her alive in the long run. An idea that so far had proven to be a damned good decision to make. Even if it had taken the new Sheriff some time to deal with what she'd been told! And because Derek had simply stood by as his Uncle had basically forced his memories into his head that gave him a huge fear of fire afterwards, along with the fact that the man had caused Stiles' death, had caused him to willingly work with the Argents to put an end to Peter's reign of terror. Something that had mightily pissed off Derek as he had been wanting to do it himself. Kate however had ended up in prison for her role in the Hale Fire years ago and it was a small measure of comfort for him.
And because Derek had never become Alpha, Jackson would never become a threat. A good solid talking too by Chris would even help deter the young man from trying to gain the Bite for himself. His seeing all the crap McCall had to go through also helped Jackson to decide not to get the Bite as well. Over time, Scott, his mother, Sheriff Graeme, along with Danny, Harley, Allison, Lydia, an occasionally reluctant Jackson, and the Argent parents would deal with a variety of threats to come their way. Derek would even be part of the so called McCall Pack that saw Deaton often acting as an advisor of sorts to the group as well. Vernon Boyd The 4th, a born Wolf, would even join the group along the way. The fact Scott and Allison hadn't lasted long as a couple also helped make for an easier time of dealing with her parents, especially Victoria as she was a bit more distrustful of Scott then what Chris was.
Scott however would arise to the level of what's known as a True Alpha through pure strength of will thanks to the threat of a Darach that was looking to do some serious damage and had no concern of any innocents getting caught in the crossfire due to an old grudge with a group known as the Alpha Pack. A Pack that would see its members going their separate ways towards the end and seeing a pair of twins from the group joining Scott's Pack. A fact that had made both Chris and Victoria understandably wary considering their pasts, even if they weren't Alphas anymore. Shortly afterwards, Scott would meet Satomi Ito, a rather long lived Alpha who had been living in the greater Beacon Hills area after she'd approached him and offered any kind of guidance he might need. Naturally, he was a bit wary of her considering his past experiences with Alphas but she never let that bothered her as she could honestly understand it. This in turn would also allow him to meet with Kira Yukimura and her father, Ken Yukimura. Both of whom had joined Satomi's Pack some time ago after the death of Kira's mother Noshiko.
Kira would even join his Pack as she felt more at home with them then with Satomi's. And with her help, along with her dad's and the others, Kira would have a pretty easy time of coming to deal and accept her Thunder Kitsune nature. A new Pack however would show up a few weeks after Kira joined the McCall Pack with her dad acting as a go between for the McCall and Ito Packs. This new Pack was led by interestingly enough, an Alpha Werecoyote who had been on the run for some time with her human father Henry Tate. But after ending the threat of her mother, the Desert Wolf and becoming an Alpha because of it, she and her rag tag small Pack decided to return to Beacon Hills to stay for good. Her Pack consisted of herself, her dad, a Werewolf known as Isaac Lahey, who had ran off some years ago to escape his dad, a Werewolf known as Erica Reyes, who along with Alicia Boyd had been kidnapped some years ago, resulting in a very tearful reunion for the Boyd family and seeing a spark of potential ignite between Boyd and Erica as well.
Tracy Steward, a born Werewolf, an alive Cora Hale, which shocked the Hell out of Derek and leading to a tearful reunion between those two, and Josh Diaz, who wound up being host to a Raiju also had places in the Tate Pack. And at first, things were rocky between the two Packs aside from the Boyd and Hale family reunions and Vernon and Erica having feelings for one another. For a time, Malia never wanted anything to do with helping protect the town as she just wanted for herself and her Pack to be able to live in peace with nobody bothering them. And it had worked for a time until an asshole named Brunski decided that assassinations of the Supernatural was a good idea. An event that saw Liam Dunbar ending up being Scott's first Bitten Beta and saw him bringing his best friend Mason Hewitt along for the fun of it all. By the time the threat was over with, Scott and Malia were on somewhat better terms with one another. And he could even admit to feeling more then friendly feelings for her as well.
Granted, he doubted she felt anything towards him and was a little afraid to even make a move lest it ruin things between them. And now, a new threat was making itself known and he just wanted to sigh in annoyance. "Struck again huh?" Asked a voice he had come to know over time.
So much so that her sudden arrivals no longer even made him jump! "Yeah, unfortunately." Admitted Scott with a sigh as he watched Tara and her's take care of business.
Malia frowned as this meant nothing good in her view. "You catch any scents?"
"Yeah, same as last time, something that smells like a Cat."
"Ugh, those things get on my nerves." The fact that something Catlike was attacking people wasn't something she liked much!
"Oh come on, they just want a little loving attention." Joked Scott with a grin towards her.
Malia rolled her eyes. "Well, they can get it from somewhere else cause its not happening with me."
An amused chuckle escaped Scott, one that got him a light punch from his fellow Alpha. "You know what I think we should do?"
"Violently beat on someone so they won't bug you later?"
That got him a mild glare from the girl but he could tell she was fighting off a grin too. "No, asshole, I was thinking that you and I should go and get something to eat together."
"Like, right now?" As he wasn't sure that was a good idea!
"Uhh, yeah, like right now. Think of it as a first date."
Hearing that floored the young man considerably! Making the Coyote Alpha smirk at him. "What, Cat got your tongue?" Asked the girl cheekily.
"No! No, not at all! Definitely not at all."
"Mmm, right, so, what'cha say? Cause I gotta admit, I'm startin' to like you. Even if you do wanna be all protector of the city and all that crap."
Scott mock glared at her for that one. "Well, the timing probably isn't right, but since I'd been wanting to ask you out myself… I say why not?"
Malia grinned widely at that. "Then let's get to it!" Grabbing his hand, she started dragging him away, eager to get some food in her belly for their first date underway.
"Bye Graeme!" Called out the girl with a wave.
Tara could only grin in amusement at the scene as it was about damned time those two finally did something! Their first date would turn out to be a hit, literally at that since Malia would get them into a huge fight with a bunch of morons who didn't know how to shut the Hell up. And later on, they all would find out they were dealing with a litter of Werejaguars with a love for violence. Their Catlikeness bugged the Hell out of Malia as they dealt with them, serving to make for quite a bit of amusement in the process. Dealing with the Jaguars also helped solidify the two Packs into one single Pack. Well, that and the fact the Alphas of said Packs were dating! Jackson would even joke about it being the McTate Pack now instead of the McCall-Tate Pack since it took less time to say it like that. He'd get eye rolls for it but both Scott and Malia would find themselves liking the idea of the 'McTate' name. And would even use it for at least the Pack's name over all. These two had found love with one another, even if they hadn't been initially looking to find it to begin with!
Author's Notes: May not be what mccute was looking for, but I hope she and those of you read this enjoyed it!
