A/N: Once again thank you for all the lovely reviews, I intend to keep improving to all of your approval :)
Melissa stirred slightly, she had drifted back to sleep since earlier, she had a long night. Her eyes danced around the room, it appeared to be late morning but she was at peace. Looking about, Peter was gone, she sat up slightly and used the quilt to cover herself. Melissa got dressed rather slowly and walked out and saw Peter sitting in his chair calmly, "Why didn't you wake me?"
"You looked so peaceful when you sleep," Peter approached her and caressed her face intimately.
"Do you mind if I take a shower?" Melissa blushed.
Peter smirked, "Go ahead."
The warm water gently ran over her entire body, she felt so relaxed. The memories of the past night flooded through her like a crashing wave, Melissa felt surprisingly happy though. Rubbing her hand on her neck a small bite mark, a hickey, nothing to be worried about but something felt off about it. A new sensation seem to flow through her veins, she felt stronger then before but she figured it was the excitement and adrenaline from the night before.
Melissa dried herself off and got dressed, walking out of the bathroom and rubbing her neck she grabbed her purse and looked at her phone, she had about fifty text messages and at twenty miss calls all from Scott, "Oh no!" Melissa shouted, her motherly instincts kicked back in, "Scott!" She wailed.
Peter sighed as if he didn't want her to go but then spoke up, "He doesn't know your here?"
"No!"
Peter snickered inwardly at the thought.
"I have to go!" Melissa stammered as she made her way to the door.
Peter whisked her into his arms and planted a brief but passionate kiss, his blue eyes fell upon her bite, he fingered it with slight confusion and caution, "I'll uh stop by later to check up on you," He said as he pulled himself away from her.
She smiled, "I'd like that."
Her ignorance was bliss as she did not realize the imminent danger she was in, Peter, whoever, did.
Melissa sped home, walking up to the porch, Scott burst through the door, "Mom!"
"Scott," Melissa felt awkward about the situation with Peter but failed to mention it to Scott.
"Where were you?" He embraced her.
"Um I went out -" Melissa mumbled, she knew Scott would explode with anger if she told him she was with Peter, "- with Peter."
Scott froze but quickly began asking questions, "What happened? Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"
Melissa shook her head, "Peter just provided a listening ear is all," Melissa didn't go into detail, she didn't have to after all.
Her son looked full of concern but said nothing.
"I'm gonna go change and uh," Melissa searched for her words, "And um take a nap."
Scott nodded, "I'm going out with Stiles."
"Be safe."
Scott chuckled inwardly on the words 'be safe' nothing he ever did was safe.
Melissa changed and crawled in bed and gently floated away to the realm of dreams.
Peter couldn't stop thinking about the bite mark on Melissa, he had to check up on her, "What have I done?" He thought to himself. His mind darted in many different directions, "She's strong, she'll survive," He mused, "Of course Derek thought Paige was strong and she..." He paused, "I can't afford to think like that," He told himself inwardly. Peter looked out the window of his apartment, his plan was being flushed down the toilet. It started out simple, use Scott's mother to make Scott join his pack, Scott was under the threat of his mother becoming a werewolf but if Peter had turned her accidentally his plan would simply fade. Peter felt torn, but not because of his plan, he felt ashamed with himself for using Melissa, "Do I actually like her?" He pulled back from his thoughts, "No! She is no more then a pawn in my game," He lied to himself, "Just a pawn."
"She spent the night with Peter," Scott's eyes fixated on the ground as he confessed to Stiles.
"So did they um..." Stiles tried to find the right term to confront Scott with.
"I don't know! I hope not."
"Why would she even go over to his house?" Stiles gaped.
Scott bit his lip, "We got in a fight, I tried to convince her Peter was evil."
"I take it that it didn't go well," He shook his head.
"Ya think?!" Scott snapped again.
"What are you going to do?"
"I haven't figured that part out yet," Scott acknowledged his fears, "Derek won't be much of a help but I now know I have to take Peter down...for good!"
Melissa awoke to the doorbell ringing, stretching with a yawn she shouted out, "Coming!" She rubbed her neck but to her surprise the bite mark was gone!
The door bell rang again as someone frantically pressed the button.
"I said I was coming!" Melissa called out as she approached the door and opened it, "Peter!" She exclaimed and hugged him.
Silently Peter examined her healed neck and finally spoke up as he pulled away from the embrace., "I said I would check up on you," He smiled but it seemed forced.
"Come on in," She waved him in, in a friendly gesture.
Peter walked in slowly but kept a sharp eye on Melissa.
"Coffee?" She smiled.
"No thanks," He shook his head.
"Are you okay?" Melissa could tell Peter was uncomfortable.
Ever part of Peter screamed as he wanted to tell her everything, he wanted to confess to being a werewolf and confess his vendetta against the Argents. He wanted to tell her about the danger she was in and what he had done to Scott. But only silence fell, "I'm fine," His voice came out sharper and more serious then he intended.
"Oh," Melissa almost seem to cower to the strength in his voice.
Peter smiled and it seemed the whole world stop to stare for a while, "I'm just glad to see your doing okay," He caressed her face. But on the inside fear boiled in the pit of his stomach as he saw the healed cut, he knew at that moment Melissa McCall was becoming a werewolf!
