Selene POV: Bad got worse very fast. While trying to save Mason it only made him shift into the Beast.
Selene could also tell Sebastien Velet the man of Gevaudan was back.
Scott and Liam brought a Dread Doctor into the animal clinic where Stiles and Selene were trying to figure out a way to save Mason.
"He's still alive" Scott said.
"Can you keep him alive?" Scott asked Deaton after they put the Dread Doctor on the exam table.
"I'm not sure he technically is alive" Deaton replied.
"Screw keeping him alive how do we get him to talk?" Liam asked rage filled his voice.
"Personally I don't think we utilize torture nearly enough" Stiles said.
"Allow me" Selene said letting her claws out.
"Did you hear that?" Liam asked as Sebastien's voice echoed in the room.
Selene growled "Go back to hell."
Then there was a loud high pitch sound causing everyone to hold their ears and drop to their knees. The Dread Doctor got off the table and started for the door.
"Liam wait!" Scott yelled trying to stop Liam who was going to attack the Dread Doctor.
He was blasted in the chest sending Liam flying back into the wall. The Dread Doctor walked out the door and it closed behind him. All the metal objects in the room flew at the door to block it.
"Stop it's electrified" Deaton said when Liam tried to go for another attack Scott was able to stop him this time and the high pitched noise had stopped.
The wolves all listened as the Dread Doctor talked with Sebastien.
He wanted the Pike that was used to kill him. The Argents had that Pike, which was now a cane sword used by one of the Dread Doctors, with them.
Everyone grabbed the medical files on Mason looking them over carefully.
"Maybe there's something in here something about how he was a genetic chimera" Scott said.
"Mason had a vanishing twin" Deaton told them.
"Now we've got a vanishing Mason" Stiles replied.
"What's that have to do with him turning into a 250 year old French guy? How does that even happen?" Liam asked.
"Hold on Scott might have something. Mason's twin wasn't entirely gone. That's what made him a genetic chimera" Deaton explained.
"The DNA was still there" Scott said.
"Metaphorically speaking the DNA of Mason could still be inside Sebastien as well" Deaton said.
"How?" Stiles asked.
Selene was equally confused.
"Life is energy. Energy doesn't just disappear. The Dread Doctors may have found a way to break the rules of the supernatural world but there are some rules that simply won't break."
"So Mason can't just be gone?" Liam asked.
"Somewhere in Sebastien he has to still exist in some form a spark of energy a flicker of memory" Deaton said.
"Hang on Liam you said Mason said something right before he turned" Stiles said.
"He said 'that's not my name'."
"The Beast finally remembered his name" Selene said.
"Damnatio Memoriae" Stiles said.
"That's what they wanted they wanted Sebastien to remember his name" Liam said.
"Hold on do you guys know the myth of what happens when you call a werewolf by its true name?" Selene asked smiling.
"It turns back to human" Scott said.
"Exactly."
"What does that mean? Someone can just walk up to the Beast yell Mason's name and turn him back?" Liam asked.
"Not yell, scream, and not just someone" Selene said.
"Lydia" Stiles said.
Then Scott got a text from his mom telling him that Lydia was in the hospital. Stiles and Selene went to see her while the others waited in the waiting room.
"Hey you alright?" Stiles asked.
Selene looked at the wound on her throat.
"Did… did you find something? A solution?" Lydia asked softly.
"Yeah it was you it was you Lydia" Stiles said.
Thankfully Scott had an idea on how to help Lydia and his mom was fully on board. Selene and Liam helped Lydia sit up as Scott Stiles and Melissa came back into the room.
"Lydia this is going to have to be just between us since I can get fired for it" Melissa said holding a needle.
"It's a cortisone shot it's gonna bring the inflammation down" Scott explained.
Lydia held out her arm.
"Not there" Melissa said.
She slowly peeled Lydia's bandage back.
"Yeah okay I'm gonna need to leave" Stiles said.
"You're not going anywhere, hold her hand" Melissa directed.
"Okay fine I'm not leaving but I still might faint" Stiles said taking Lydia's hand.
"Don't worry I got you" Selene said taking his other hand relaxing him.
"Okay here we go" Melissa said.
But before she even put the needle in, Liam fainted. Scott rushed over to him.
"Hm guess I should've held his hand" Selene said.
Stiles held her hand tighter.
"Not a chance" he said smiling.
"Okay Lydia this is gonna hurt like a bitch" Melissa warned.
Lydia winced and gasped in pain. When it was over Scott and Liam helped Lydia up and they all went down the elevator.
"Okay I'll get Malia text me when you find Parrish" Stiles said going to leave.
"Hold on" Scott said giving Stiles a package.
As he did Selene slipped her hand from Stiles'.
"What is this?"
"Something I've been working on for a while just make sure Malia gets it."
"Is it plan B?"
"It was plan A."
"Plan A never works."
"This one will."
Stiles turned to go but looked back at Selene waiting.
She smiled softly, sadly.
"No…no way" Stiles said stepping up to her taking her hand.
"Stiles Malia has the Desert Wolf after her she needs that package. The Beast is my problem" Selene said softly.
"No I'm not going to let you fight that thing alone" Stiles said getting closer.
"I'm not alone, Stiles please just go help Malia" Selene said softly pain in her voice.
"I can't what if something happens I can't lose you" Stiles whispered as he leaned his forehead against her's.
"You could never lose me. It'll be okay but you have to go" Selene said not really believing her own words.
"Stiles go."
Selene took a step back but Stiles pulled her back and kissed her hard and deep.
"Alright I'll go but I'm not okay with this" he said when they broke apart.
When he started to walk off Selene stopped him this time.
"Hey the Desert Wolf is still out there so watch your back. Be strong my Alpha Male. I love you" Selene said with a wink.
She saw that Stiles understood what she was saying and he smiled.
"I love you too."
Then he left.
Stiles POV: Stiles felt confident and happy, even as he was terrified. Selene was letting him be the equal she needed. True she never made him feel anything but loved and he knew she loved him trusted him but he felt like he wasn't always good enough strong enough for her.
Now he realized she'd always seen him as strong and good and hers even if he wasn't a werewolf she didn't care. His insecurity was for nothing.
Yet as he opened the door to Scott's house and the Desert Wolf put a gun to his face he really wished Selene was there with him.
"Oh damn" Stiles muttered.
Malia attacked then pushed Stiles out of the way into a wall then went for her mother.
Selene POV: Selene ran ahead of the group to make sure nothing stood in their way as Scott and Liam had to help Lydia. That left any fighting up to Selene until Lydia was close enough to the Beast to scream.
However she heard Lydia scream in fear so she turned back even as she felt the Beast getting closer.
It wasn't until a sharp pain burned through her chest that she stopped in fear.
Because it wasn't her pain she was feeling it was Stiles'.
