A/N: Sorry for the long delay. I'll try not to let things get in the way again. I hope to be updating regularly again now. Here's just a mini chapter as a thank you to my readers who are so patient with me.

Stiles sat in the back of the Argent's green van with Kali and Isaac, Chris was in the driver's seat with Allison as his front passenger. The young half elf was silent as they enter Beacon Hills.

"Did you feel that?" Isaac asked as they entered the pack's territory.

"Yeah", Stiles swallowed. "We just cross the territory boundaries. If we weren't wearing these charms they'd already know we were here."

"So where exactly do you want me to drive to?" Chris called from the front.

"Well I guess if Derek stills lives in the loft we should head there", Stiles answered uncertainly.

"Yeah he still lives there", Isaac nodded.

"Okay time to work a little magic then", Stiles smiled mischievously. He spoke a few words in that same language Isaac heard him use to bind Kali. As he finishes speaking they heard an anonymous wolf howl far away followed by several more familiar howls.

"What did you just do?" Allison asked curiously.

"Ah, I just sent the pack on a little wild goose chase. I think it would be better if the returned to the loft once we're already there. We've got about twenty minutes before the spell wears off. If it works correctly it should lead them straight to the loft once we arrive there", Stiles muttered.

"We're only ten minutes away now", Chris informed them.

"Good timing then", Stiles remarked. "Looks like our time together is almost up Kali. Having you bound by such a torturous enchantment actually has its benefits you know. It's made me more compassionate seeing you in agony. So I'll give you my word that when the time comes your death will be swift", Stiles whispered into the female alpha's ear.

"Now that's more like the Stiles I knew", Isaac murmured fondly.

"Yeah, I'm guessing I wasn't as over my dad's death as I thought and I'm still sort of pissed at the situation I've been put in but this time I had a choice. It makes a difference. I feel more centred, ya know", Stiles admitted to no one in particular.

The rest of the drive passed in silence until Chris parked and turned to say, "We've arrived." Stiles opened the back door and waited while Isaac got out. "Out you get", he ordered Kali, but she refused to move. Stiles wasn't in the mood for her as his nerves were already buzzing so he just used his magic to drag her along while she yelped intermittently as the binding shocked her for trying to escape. They rode up the lift in uncomfortable silence and stepped out to face Derek's loft. Stiles shifted nervously because he hadn't been here for over five years. His wolf was whining constantly as it smelt the scent of his mate. Forcing it to the back of his mind he followed the others in.

"I guess now we wait", Chris muttered as he walked over to the window and began to pace. Allison and Isaac went over to sit on the sofa while Stiles wandered over to Derek's armchair. He walked around it with a sort of reverence. He moved Kali over so she was hovering beside the chair. Sparks of electricity continued to travel across her skin as she attempted to make her escape. Until now she had been smart enough to not bother attempting to escape but fear of her impending demise had over ruled her logic. Stiles didn't bother to pay any attention to her as she no longer screamed out just whimpered.

The moments slowly ticked by until both werewolves stiffened as they heard the approach of the pack at Derek's loft door.

Next chapter the pack meets the new Stiles and Kali dies. Will Cora be the one to kill her?
