Hey Guys!
When I was writing this chapter I was having troubles writing and I looked at my phone and I saw the reviews and the follows and it really helped me write. I'm really thankful for all the reviews and follows and I hope you all like this chapter. Also regarding Allison I decided to leave her dead and Isaac might come in later, but not right now, but thank you all for the support. Also I found I was spelling Braeden's name wrong, Sorry for that.
After heading back to Scott's house for the afternoon Stiles got a message worrying message from the illustrious Derek Hale.
"Stiles, it's Derek. When we got to the loft Malia was waiting to talk to me and she did not seem happy." Stiles, Lydia and Liam called Scott on their way over to the loft. When they got to the loft everyone gathered outside. Scott and Kira got off of Scott's dirt bike and rushed over to everyone.
"So what's really going on here?" Scott looked at everyone as he asked the question, waiting for someone to answer the alphas question. It was Derek who finally answered the question.
"Well when Braden and I got home earlier today, Malia was waiting in the loft to talk to me. She was just waiting there and it looked like she'd been there for a while, but she was not happy."
"Derek what emotion did you pick up from Malia?" Stiles looked at Derek with his beady eyes which showed he was worried about Malia, to a point where it was making him sick. The group could see him looking queasy, they knew he was worried and it just proved them right to a concerning point.
"Anger, betrayal and confusion." Derek looked at Stiles and felt worry fill the room. He wasn't trying to make Stiles feel bad because he knew exactly what had happened and he knew now wasn't the time to be screwing around with him. It was overpowering how strong the smell of worry was. Stiles was ridiculously worried and you could tell he blamed himself, he was almost hysterical, but he was hiding well for the time being. Derek was not the only one who noticed how worried Stiles was.
"Stiles she will be fine, we will find her." Scott moved his hands from his sides to his best friends shoulders as he had done many times when he had needed to be reassured.
"Scott it's my fault she's even missing! She won't forgive me and we don't even know where she is!" A tear started to form in the corner of his eye, but it wasn't a tear of sadness, it was of anger and it was directed at him.
"Stiles, it's not your fault. We decided as a group that it wasn't time to tell her and none of us singularly is to blame. When we do find her and we will, we will explain and she will understand." Scott looked his friend in the eyes and comforted him, but comfort only goes a short way.
"So Derek what did you actually tell Malia? Did you tell her she was a Hale?" Lydia looked to Derek as she asked the question.
"I told Malia that she was Peter's daughter and that's all I told her when she stormed out the door."
"Guys I have a feeling I know where she went. I think she went to Peter's apartment, she knows where it is because she came with me last time I went to Peter for help." Everyone looked at Scott when he told them where he thought she was.
"The problem is that we can't all go there and waist time in case she isn't there. Scott and I will go to Peters, Kira and Lydia you go see if she is around the school." Stile's was leading this search and Scott didn't really mind because Malia meant a lot to him.
"We will pick up Liam on the way there, just in case something is wrong. Derek are you going to stay with Braden?" Scott looked over to Derek as he fumbled situations around in his head.
"No I will be coming with you. Being cooped up inside has been annoying and I already told Braden I would be helping you guys. So I will go with Scott in case Peter causes a problem."
"Thanks Derek it will be great to have you there. So everyone lets get going." Everyone said their goodbyes, Scott and Kira had a kiss and everyone went their separate ways as they pulled out of the parking area of Derek's building.

Peter was sitting on his couch reading a book and having a beer. When Peter turned the page he heard someone pull up outside the house he thought someone had come to talk to him, someone who he had become training and someone who missed their last session. Peter walked to the door to answer it.
"Well I never knew you to be one for front doors Ka..." He opened the door and standing right at the door was Malia, his daughter.
"Hello Peter, who did you think it was?"
"No matter, but why do you grace me with your presence and where is Scott and the whole pack?"
"I'm...apart from them for now and peter I know. I know you're my father."
"Oh that cats out of the bag. In my defence my sister stole the memory so I didn't know for a long time."
"I understand Peter, but I want to know why you didn't tell me earlier?"
"For the same reason your friends didn't. It wasn't the right time."
"Yesterday I almost died and Stiles didn't even bother to mention it to me!"
"Malia why are you telling me this, I'm not your boyfriend and I was waiting for them to tell you."
"The thing is you are my dad. You could have just told me." Malia collapsed on the couch in a fit of tears. Peter was not sure whether to stay where he was or to comfort his daughter.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Lydia and Kira were well on their way to the school when Lydia looked over at Kira and could see how stressed she was.
"Kira what is it? You look like someone ran you over and beat you up." Kira turned to Lydia and put on one of her half smiles, the ones that make her look really awkward.
"Umm it's nothing really, I'm fine." She just smiled at Lydia, but it wasn't fooling her.
"Spit it out, I'm not sitting in this car for another 5 minutes with you looking like a dead kitten in the corner, so just tell me what your thinking."
"Okay fine you win. I'm just worried about Scott. Sometimes when I look at him I feel like I'm looking at a sum of his pain."
"Kira, what makes you think that? He's happy with you, have you seen the way he looks at you? He looks at you like you're the most important thing in the world and your one of two people who he has ever looked at like that."
"I know Lydia and that's part of my point. I feel that sometimes when he looks at me he feels guilty and remembers Allison, that's the pain I think he feels. I think he feels guilty for being with me when Allison died."
"Girl, Scott is always going to have memories of Allison and is always going to love her, but you really think that's what he's thinking about when he's touching you, kissing you and sleeping with you."
"What are you talking about? We haven't slept together." Kira's face turned a red as a rose as the embarrassment crackled through her cheeks and Lydia could see how embarrassed she was.
"I meant like you do every night. I didn't mean that and really I don't want to know, but you really haven't slept together yet?"
"Oh right yeah and no we haven't yet." Lydia saw Kira calm down and she laughed to herself.
"Kira I wouldn't worry about it, I really don't think he's in pain when all he's thinking about is you."
"You're right, you're right, but thank you Lydia."
"Well if it kept you from looking like quivering kitten then I would listen to anything." Kira smiled when she looked at Lydia and she was glad that she had a friend in Lydia.

The group of guy's had arrived at Liam's house. Scott decided that he should be the one to get Liam. He knocked on the door and a taller black man answered the door.
"Hello."
"Hi Sir, I'm here to pick up Liam, tell him it's Scott, Scott McCall."
"Oh Scott, I remember you from the Lacrosse game. You're the captain you really are amazing at Lacrosse, I hope that Liam will be as good when he gets to your year. I'll go get Liam."
"Thank you that really means a lot to me." Scott yelled after Liam's dad as he ran up the stairs. Scott looked into their house and he could see photos framed on the wall and vases on benches. He noticed how posh the house was and he could tell Liam came from money. As that thought went through his head Liam stumbled down the stairs.
"Hey Scott, how's it going?"
"Hey Liam, I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important, but I was wondering if you could come help us with a...situation."
"Sure no problem." Liam went to close the door as his dad yelled out to him.
"Liam be back before 12."
"Sure thing dad." Liam said as he shut the door behind him. He jumped in the car and saw that Derek, Scott, Stile and he were the ones in the car.
"Where are the girls? It's like a sausage fest in here." Derek and Stiles looked at him like they were about to attack him.
"Lydia and Kira are checking places out together and Malia is actually who we are looking for." Scott was the only one to answer Liam's questions. When they reached Peters apartment they could smell Peter and someone else. Malia was here and they all knew it. The group burst into Peter's apartment and saw Malia and Peter sitting down speaking.
"Malia." Stiles and Scott both said in sync. Malia looked over at the door and saw the 4 boys standing at the door. She looked startled.
"Stiles, Scott what are you doing here?" The boys were even more confused now, especially as to why she asked that question. It actually kind of hurt Stiles' feelings that she didn't think he cared enough to look for her.
"We've been looking for you Malia, I've been worried sick about you." Stiles walked towards her as he answered her question.
"You should have thought of that before you decided to keep this from me!"
"Malia, we only hid it from you because it wasn't the right time." Scott stepped into the middle of the argument.
"Why? Why wasn't it the right time?"
"Well the assassins, the Benefactor and Kate come to mind." Peter smirked as he heard Kate's name.
"Stiles you could have just told me and we would have avoided this entire situation!"
"Malia please you need to realise that we kept it from you to protect you and we made a mistake and we are sorry, but we can't change what we did, all we can do is say we are sorry."
"Stiles I believe that you are all sorry and I'm still part of the pack, but this doesn't fix things between us. I'll see you all tomorrow at School." Malia stormed out of the building and back to her car and drove off.
"Anybody come here to see me?" Peter joked as everyone left the apartment building. "Does anyone ever come to visit me just because they love me?" Peter yelled after the group as he closed the door. When they were gathered outside Peter's apartment, Derek spoke up.
"Did you guys smell something off in there? There was another scent one I couldn't place."
"Yeah I smelt it, but I didn't think much of it." Liam said agreeing with Derek.
"Well we'll worry about that later for now let's go have a rest." Scott said to the rest of the team.
They dropped Liam back at his house (in time luck enough) and Scott got out at his house. He ran to his door and pushed it open and ran inside where his mother was standing.
"Hey mum."
"Hi Scott, how are you?"
"I'm good. How was your shift?"
"Long and tiring, so I'm going up to bed. Oh and there's a present waiting upstairs."
"A present? Now you've got me excited." Scott grabbed a drink and something to eat and quickly ran up to his room. When he opened the door he saw his beautiful girl sprawled out on the bed. She looked as good as ever.
"Hey Kira." A smile quickly grew across both of their faces like they did whenever they were around each other.
"Hi Scott, how are you? I heard you found Malia."
"Yeah we found her at Peters. She was fine we had nothing to worry about." Scott said as he laid down next to his beautiful girlfriend.
"I'm glad she was fine and it will be nice to see her tomorrow."
"Yeah it will." Scott kissed her as she tucked her hair behind her ear. She kissed him back, she gripped his shirt and pulled him closer, she pulled him as close as she could and increased the passion in her kisses. Scott pulled away this time, he didn't want to, but to tell the truth, he had to.
"I'm sorry this seems to happen every time, but my mom is down the hall." Scott had a huge smile on his face as he looked at her perfect face.
"Its fine, but it doesn't mean we have to stop this." Kira smiled as she returned to making out with Scott. At that moment Melissa walked opened the door.
"Umm Scott could I please speak to you for a second." When Scott and Kira heard Melissa's voice they jumped up and both their cheeks were bright red the embarrassment quickly turning Kira into a ripe tomato.
"Sure mom." Scott walked outside the room with his mom.
"Sorry to interrupt you and Kira...but I was wondering if everything was going well, everyone seems to be on edge?"
"Yeah it's no problem, nothing was happening so don't worry, but yeah everything is fine we just had some problems with Malia, but everything is good." Scott replied with some blush in his face when he thought about his mom talking to him about him and Kira.
"That's good. I'll let you get back to that as she peered over to Kira."
"Thanks' mum."
"Scott you really like her don't you?" She smiled at Scott and gave him a little pat on the arm. It reminded Scott of the night he went to the party with Allison and she questioned him or when he went to the formal to win Allison back. She was always there to talk to him about anything he needed to talk about.
"Yeah I do, I like her a lot."
"Then make sure she doesn't get away from you this time." Scott smiled as he went back into his room and back to Kira.
"You know when I got back mum told me I had a present waiting for me and I never imagined anything as beautiful or as special as you." Kira blushed from what Scott was saying. It was the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to her. She got a feeling in her stomach a queasy feeling and she suddenly just blurted it out.
"Scott, I love you." Shit I can't believe I just blurted that out, he's going to run now.
"I love you to Kira." They both shared a passionate kiss before she turned over to sleep and Scott laced his arms over her making her feel warm and safe.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
When Stiles got home his dad was asleep and he crept into his room where Lydia was sitting patiently on the end of the bed.
"Hi Lydia, whatcha doing here?"
"Hi Stiles I just felt like asking some questions about Malia."
"Sure whatever you want Lydia."
"Is she okay?"
"She's fine, we found her at Peter's."
"He didn't hurt her did he?"
"No, she was fine."
"I just feel responsible. I mean I told Peter about Malia and I just feel like if anything happened to her."
"Lydia it's fine. Even if anything did happen it wouldn't have been your fault."
"Stiles thanks that really means a lot to me. I'm sorry I haven't asked how it was for you."
"Well I'm glad she's okay, but I'm still worried about her and I have a feeling she's really angry with me and I'm not sure she still likes me."
"Stiles it doesn't matter. If she loves you then she will forgive you and I'm sure she still likes you Stiles."
"Thanks Lyds."
"You know something Stiles? I really love these conversations we have. I feel like when no one else is here for me you are."
"I feel the same way Lydia. It was nice to see you." Lydia smiled as she walked out of Stiles' house and back to hers.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Derek, is that you?" Braeden said as she heard the big iron door open.
"Sorry I just got back. We found Malia with Peter, but there's something else going on with Peter."
"What do you mean Derek?"
"When I was in Peter's apartment I smelt something, something off."
"What do you mean?"
"I caught a scent, one that seemed familiar, but not one I could remember."
"Where do you think you've smelt it before?"
"Well I think I smelt it when Kate attacked me, but I really don't think Peter would be working with Kate, I mean the guy ripped out her throat."
"Well you did rip out his throat on the exact same night and you still talk to each other."
"That's different, we are brothers. Of course we still speak."
"I'm just saying that maybe he is working with Kate. I mean he is a sociopath and I wouldn't put it past him." Derek looked at Braeden and could tell that she was quite possibly right.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Kira woke up in the morning to find she had moved in her sleep she was lying right on top of Scott. She felt freaked out, but comfortable lying on top of him. Melissa poked her head in the door to see if Scott was awake, but saw Kira lying on top of Scott. All she could think about was how sweet they looked together, so she decided to leave them alone and left for her early shift at the hospital. A few minutes later Scott's alarm went off and Scott stirred from his sleep. He opened his eyes to see Kira had moved on top of him in the night and he smiled. Kira smiled back.
"Morning beautiful."
"Morning to you to, sadly we've got school today so we better get up."
"Agreed." Kira and Scott moved over to the drawers. Kira had been sleeping at Scott's quite often, so she decided to leave some clothes there for her to change into. She moved to the bathroom to get changed while Scott got changed in the room. They went down stairs to have breakfast, fingers laced the entire way. Once they had breakfast they jumped on Scott's bike and made their way to school. When they got there the first thing they saw was Stile's chasing after Malia.
"Do you think she'll take him back Scott?" Kira asked her boyfriend who was currently getting off of his motorbike.
"I'm not sure, she might, but I think she will need some time to get back to trusting him, so who knows." Scott laced his fingers in Kira's as they walked into the school. They only let go of each other when they had to go get their books from their separate lockers, but before they let go they had an innocent kiss in the hallway. When Kira walked over to Lydia, she could see the look on the Banshee's face. It was one of those smiles someone makes when they want to know something.
"Hey Kira, how are you this morning?" Lydia huffed with that devious smile on her face.
"Hi Lydia, I'm good, but what do you want to know? You have that smile on your face; you know that smile that says I'm going to prod you till you tell me?"
"Fine you caught me. It's not something I want more something I noticed. You and Scott have barley let go of each other since you got here and your looking particularly...smitten, did something happen?"
"The only thing that happened was last night when we were together I blurted out that I loved him and I truly thought he was going to run, but he said he loved me to."
"See I told you. You have nothing to worry about and that proves it. Just limit the PDA I mean at this rate it looks like you'll be in the janitor's closet by the end of the day." Kira felt embarrassed at what Lydia was implying.
"Well have you seen Malia and Stiles this morning?" Kira asked Lydia to move of the embarrassing topic at hand.
"Yeah I've seen him chasing her around all morning, some part of me feels really bad for me and the other part thinks it's really creepy he's following her everywhere." Kira laughed as Lydia commented on the situation playing out in front of their eyes.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
After school Stiles caught up with Scott and found him without Kira which was a rare sight these days.
"Scott, can I talk to you?"
"Sure Stiles. Anything in particular you would like to talk about?" Scott said this expecting the topic of Malia to come out.
"Scott I want to ask what you said after Allison found out about you been a werewolf and also what you said to your mum." Scott shifted feeling uncomfortable talking about Allison, but if Stiles really needed to know he would oblige.
"Well when Allison found out she helped Kate catch me and I think she must have remembered how much she loved me and not cared that I was a werewolf because the next think she said to me was... well you were there for that and as for mum I didn't say anything to her, she just started talking to me again after a few days."
"So what you're saying is that she will forgive me eventually on her own without me saying anything to her?"
"Well I think that's how you're interpreting it and I partially believe she will, but Stiles I know your worried about Malia and you miss her, but I'm sure she will realise she is feeling the same way soon and will come back to her. All you have to do is make sure you don't lie to her again." Stiles smiled and gave Scott a hug.
"Thanks dude."
"No worries." Scott smiled as his best friend left him looking happier than he had been for days.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Chris Argent was sitting in his temporary office thinking of the visit from Araya the other night. Araya had always been an odd woman, but even for her it seemed extreme and something out of character, but like Kate she could have just been a sociopath or maybe it wasn't her. he heard someone open the door.
"Hey Chris." Derek and Braeden walked through the door and started speaking to him.
"Hi Derek and Braeden. How are you? I heard you got shot."
"Yeah, but thanks to Melissa and Derek I'm feeling all better."
"That's good to hear and I see a lot has gone on since I left."
"Yeah, a lot would be an understatement. I take it Scott told you about Kate?"
"Yes and we also had a not so pleasant meeting with her and her pet Berserkers. Let's just say it wasn't pretty."
"I hope it wasn't too tough on you."
"No, I'm fine. So how are you Derek?"
"Well I'm good apart from one thing. I think Peter is teaching Kate."
"Really? He ripped out her throat."
"That's what I said, but Peter would do anything that would give him power and Kate is still looking for a way to learn control, so I decided it wasn't that unlikely for the pair to be working together."
"You may be right and if you are, we all need to be careful, extremely careful."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Peter heard the door creek open. This time it was who he was expecting. The were-jaguar walked in the door as if she owned the place. Her blonde hair bobbing at her shoulders. Peter couldn't help, but think that she looked better after he slit her throat then before.
"Kate, how are you?"
"Shut it Peter, I saw Scott and the others here the other night, what did they want?"
"Well they were actually here for Malia, but I don't think they have any idea."
"Good because that would be bad for both of us if they did."
"Did you hear? Your brother's in town."
"Yes I did know, I had a . . . unpleasant meeting with him in a warehouse with Scott."
"Did the family bonding not go well?"
"Peter stop screwing around. Teach me how to control it already."
"Kate I told you before in the vault. It comes from anger, you use anger to control the shift."
"Peter you better not be lying to me because if you are then it won't end well for you."
"Would I ever lie to you Kate?"
"Probably."
"Fair enough, but trust me on this." Peter smirked as he looked at the hunter turned were-jaguar sitting in front of him.
