Chapter 4

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

Buddha

Faith Aurora Moureaux don't you forget what we just told you. Your curfew is 11 do you understand? Tomorrow is an important day and you will be useless to us if you haven't slept long enough. If we see you coming home later then we told you to then you know what that means. Believe me when I tell you that you don't want to anger us anymore than you already did today. Just stop disappointing us for once.

"Yes mum, dad. I swear I will make it back in time… So, if this was all you probably won't mind me leaving and don't even think about sending anyone after me. I can take care of myself."

With one last smirk in their direction I left the training room and made my way over to the bathroom. If they only knew what I had planned for that night. I showered quickly, air dried my newly blonde dyed hair and left it in its usual waves. Then I walked over to my closet and picked out the perfect attire for me to wear tonight. Black leather trousers, a black corset which closes with the help of a zipper, my black heeled ankle boots and last but not least my trademark leather jacket. After that I applied black eyeliner, mascara and a dark red lipstick. With one last glance at my reflection I walked out of the room, only to bump into Wyatt. Great, exactly what I needed. My father's spy has returned. I raised my eyebrows daringly and tried to walk past him but he blocked me.

"And where exactly do you think you are going looking like that? Something I should know Miss Moureaux?"

He smirked at me knowing how much I hated it when people called me Miss Moureaux. It reminded me too much of the duty I have to bear and of all the responsibility I have to live with. Not that I really care. I do what I want when I want to.

"I don't think that this is any of your business. So why don't you just, I don't know, vanish into thin air before I will kick your ass just for the fun of it. And before you answer that, we both know that I could do it."

With that I pushed him out of the way and grabbed my car keys and sun glasses on my way to the garages. Hm … Which car would it be today? Quickly making my decision I walked over to the Ferrari Enzo and put some guns into the trunk. I would probably need them. After I was fully equipped, I got into my car. This would be a long night.

Some time later I walked into the nightclub I heard so many people speak about. I was supposed to meet some acquaintances here. Spotting them from on top of the stair I nodded in their direction and my way over to them. On my way there I felt many eyes linger on me. Lot's of people knew who I am and the once who didn't know… Well they were just ogling me like I was some kind of trophy they wanted to own.

"Sebastian and…"

"Richard Miss Moureaux, a pleasure." He smiled charmingly at me and kissed the back of my hand.

I didn't even notice him grabbing it. Looking him directly in the eyes, I raised my eyebrows and withdrew my hand. Not with me.

'I can't remember allowing you to touch me. Do it again and you'll lose your hand. Understood? Great."

I didn't even wait for an answer before turning to the bartender and ordering a Martini. As if anybody dared to refuse me a drink. I may be underage but definitely more intimidating than any other person.

"I'm not here to chit chat. So just spit it out. Why do you needed me to come here? And where's the rest of the group?"

Sebastian looked at me kind of surprised. Oh no, I know where this conversation was going. And it wasn't going to go in a good direction. So much for a night with a bit of fun.

"SO they didn't tell you? It was that attack on the alpha last week in Paris. We killed all of them in the end. The whole pack dead… but they weren't the only once who died. That's why I wanted you to come tonight. I need your help Faith. Something is on the lose, something big. We need more people. People like you."

"What do you need me to do? And that still doesn't answer my question. Why exactly here?"

I started to get annoyed. Not because of Sebastian but this whole situation was just so absurd. What does he mean with "something". Probably not a werewolf but what else could it be?

"Look around Faith. Don't you see? They are here. I've never heard of that species before but they are werewolves, able to turn whenever they feel the need to. But that's not everything. They don't need an alpha. Nobody can control them and one of them is trying to get the lead. He is the one behind all of the kills in Palermo. And now he has come here. He is daring us to strike."

Well that was interesting to here. I knew that all the murders in Palermo didn't happen by human hands. So, all I had to do was find that beast and then kill it.

"Alright, cool great. Let's get going there's no time to waste. I will mingle a bit and look for anyone suspicious."

"Wait Faith one more thing. He might not be what you expect him to be. Just remember that. Meanwhile I will go outside and get all the weapons we will need and more assistance."

With these last words I quickly turned around once again, grabbed Sebastian's hand and put it behind his back. Oh he so wasn't going to call my parents. This was my chance to proof myself and I wouldn't throw it away by someone calling them and telling them to send backup.

"No no no, you don't Sebastian. You and your little friend over there will stay put until I give you the allowance to intervene. Understood?"

I looked at him with flashing eyes. He practically could see the agitation in them.

"But Faith…"
"I said understood!?"

"Yes alright. Just let me go and be careful. If you get in trouble your parents will kill me."

With one last sickly sweet smile I threw his way, I walked to the dancefloor. Not long after that the first suspicious group of people stood out. Dancing my way through the crowd I suddenly felt someone grabbing my hips.

"What exactly do you think you are doing here Faith?"

Damn it, I knew that voice!

"Wyatt, nice to see you here. Miss me already? Cute. And now you can go! And this totally is supposed to be a threat."

"I don't think so! I know who you are after and I also remember your parents speaking about situations like this with you and them specifically telling you to not do stuff like that without backup."

"Oh but I do have backup. You see these two guys standing in the corner and looking at you like they are ready to shoot you? One sign from me and you are dead."

The music changed to a bit slower song, so Wyatt turned me around and put one of his hands on my hip and grabbed my hand with the other. Just what I wanted to do, dance with my sworn enemy. It's not like I hated him because my parents seemed to like him more than they do their own child. Honestly I don't hate him. Well… At least I think I don't.

"You wound me Faith. Here I am worrying about your wellbeing and all your doing is threatening my life. Tsk tsk. What would your parents do if they found out."

"Oh but they won't. Remember Wyatt I am the one in charge here not you. And seeing as your already here, something that is very unfortunate and annoying the shit out of me just so you know, you can help me. I need to find an alpha and he's right here in this club. You feeling up to it?"

"Of course. And how lucky you are that I am here. Found him."

He shot me a victorious grin and then turned us around so that I could look right over his shoulder into the direction of the alpha. And there he stood showing off with his glowing eyes and getting the attention of all the women around him. Could he be any more suspicious? I will probably never here the end of it after tonight. Wyatt is too cocky for his own good. Clearing my throat I let go of Wyatt and took a step back.

"Well then, I will get him to come out so that we can finish him. If you would be so nice to tell these two gentleman in the back there to come outside too. Thanks."

With that I wanted to walk away but Wyatt grabbed my hand and pulled me back once again.

"Oh really and how exactly do you plan to lure him outside?"

"Believe me I have my ways. I am a Moureaux after all and to that I am a woman. I know how to use what I`ve got." I shot him a cocky smirk.

"Yeah right. He will kill you within a second if you blow your cover and he finds out who you really are."

Alright, so he wasn't going to believe me. I somehow had to proof him just how affective being me could be. Yeah… that just sounded really arrogant bit come on it's true. Slowly I took a step closer to Wyatt and looked him from under my lashes into the eyes.

"Oh you know, I've got quite a few tricks up my sleeve. One of them being this.."

I leaned up and lightly brushed my lips over his jaw line and then finally brought them up to his ear.

"I would speak to him like this, then I would dance with him like this." I slowly pushed my body even closer to him and slowly started swaying to the music. "And then I would disarm him like this." I grabbed into Wyatt's jeans pocket and let my fingers trace his abdomen. Then quickly I grabbed his gun and took a step back from him again. He still had his eyes closed before opening them in shock and disbelieve. Mission completed Faith. In that moment I really had to resist the urge to give myself a clap on the shoulder.

"Alright go get him tiger!" Wyatt made a roaring sound and pushed me in the alpha's direction.

That moment that we just shared moments ago was the start of our story. The start of something that I didn't even know I wanted until I had it and lost it…

With that I jolted up in my bed and looked at the alarm clock right beside me on my bedside table, 5.20. Perfect timing. I still had almost three hours till school. I got up and dressed in some running leggings, my sports bra and threw a matching sports jacket over it. On my way out I also put on my shoes for running and then I was out of the door. A nice run in the morning wouldn't hurt before a surely annoying day in school.

I decided to run through the woods and back to the spot the boys and I have roamed around yesterday. Deciding that I would look around a bit I slowed down and walked deeper into the woods. I could here the birds chirping and felt the fresh morning breeze running over my skin. Again I was lost in my own little world and didn't hear the man coming up from behind me.

"I thought I told you that this was private territory. What are you doing here?"

Not feeling his presence I jolted up when I heard his voice. Oh my god I really needed to stop getting so unfocused in this town. Looking to my right I saw the werewolf dude from yesterday. Great…

"And I thought that I made it clear that I really don't care. It's not like I was going to roam around here. Just taking a small jog through the woods."

"I don't recall asking.."

"Then don't feel spoken to. I use to talk to myself when I'm in the company of grumpy dudes."

There was no need of telling him so soon that I knew what he was. And there was no need of him knowing who I am. Hopefully my identity would stay a secret for a while.

Creepy dude just raised his eyebrows at my response and then let out a very unexpected chuckle.

"You know you're something else, I will give you that. But maybe you are just acting like that cause you don't know who I am. Most people are scared or weirded out when they find out. I am Derek Hale by the way,"

I just rolled my eyes at his response. Yeah I don't think that your reputation is the thing I should worry about but more your genes.

"Or maybe I just don't get intimidated by guys like you. All tough and grumpy on the outside but come on this can't be all. You know Derek I am very good at reading people and something about you is telling me that there's something else with you."

Derek just threw me a look. I didn't know if it was supposed to tell me to just shut up or if he was truly surprised by my words. But that wasn't the only weird thing happening. I realized that I haven't thought about ways to kill him once throughout the whole conversation with him. Weird.

"Well then Derek I will leave you to it. Don't expect me to change my route to jog on just because you think that the world bows at your feet. Oh and just so you know it doesn't hurt to smile once in a while. I hope the hint's taken."

I might have taken it too far with that but something inside of me wanted me to keep talking to Derek. I again felt this weird tug towards him from the night prior. I threw one last glance in his direction and so him looking confused at my retreating figure.

"I haven't caught your name yet…"

"Well then you will have to find out. See you."

With that I completely turned around and started running back to the house. Well that already was an eventful morning for an eventful day. I just couldn't wait to go to school…That's sarcasm right there. Anyways a nice shower would help me clean my head and then I would have to speak with Scott. I finally made a decision. Still not sure if it was a good one….
