I woke up to Stiles shaking me awake. I growled out as my eyes changed.

" Stiles? What's wrong?" I asked as he looked slightly panicked.

" Jackson talked! He lied about that night! Isaac is back in school." He said as I quickly got dressed in a black tight tank top and blue jeans. I put on my converses and got with him. I get on my bike.

" This is fucked!" I said as my eyes glowed red. What is my brother doing? Is he behind this? No! I refuse to believe it.

" We have to warn Scott." Stiles said as we quickly parked. I got out with Stiles and quickly found Scott.

" Dude, I just talked to my dad, who just talked to Jackson, and I've got really terrible, horrible, very, very bad news." Stiles said as Scott was looking dead at a figure I almost growled at.

"...I think I already know." Scott said as I saw Isaac as clear as day sitting there. For the love of fucking god!

" Fantastic. Just fucking great!" I growled lowly. I felt Stiles grabbing my hand tightly.

" It'll be ok Ray." Stiles said as I smiled. I saw Isaac glaring at me before I flashed my eyes at him. Class ended after not too much longer. Scott, Stiles, and I walked out quickly.

" All right. I only found one thing online called a Kanima- it's a Werejaguar from South America that goes after murderers." Stiles said as I huffed.

" That thing was not a jaguar…" Scott said as I took Stiles' hand in mine.

" Yeah, and I'm not exactly a murderer." Stiles said as I chuckled.

" Lizard face might as well be a vigilante if it goes after murderers." I said as Stiles squeezed my hand.

" Yeah, but you did see it kill somebody, which is probably why it tried to kill you. And it's still trying to kill you, and it probably won't stop until you're dead." Scott said before going away. I see Stiles is gobsmacked.

" You know, sometimes I really begin to question this "friendship." " Stiles said before he and I went to class.

" This is such bullshit." I said as I heard that voice again.

Raven. Don't be afraid. All will be clear.

I looked outside and saw nothing. I was afraid. I put my head down and hoped the voice would stop. It sounded like a woman, I never heard the voice before.

Whatever you are. I hope it isn't malicious. I want to keep my friends safe. I want to keep Stiles safe and loved.

I got nothing back. My brother might be hunting this fucking Kanima down and trying to figure out who it is. Right now, I just felt Stiles holding my hand.

" You heating it again?" He asked as I nodded. Our teacher was turned away from us.

" I have no fucking idea what or who it is." I said as I felt my teeth grow sharp. He held my hand and his warmth filled my inner being. I calmed down and let the class drown out my thoughts. The bell rang, Stiles grabbed my hand and we went to Econ. I sat next to Stiles. I saw Jackson come in and sit down.

" Hey, Testicle Left and Right- what the hell is a Kanima?" Jackson said and I turned to him. The fuck!

" What was that? Pretty boy!" I demanded of him. My anger rising.

" All right, listen up!" Coach said as he hit the books to his desk.

" A quick warning before we begin our review- some of you, like McCall, might want to start their own study groups, because tomorrow's midterm is so profoundly difficult- I'm not even too sure I could pass it!" Coach said as I chuckled.

" Okay, I need a volunteer at the board to answer the first question. Who's got it, huh?" Coach said as I saw him wave up Lydia.

" Come on, let's go, buddy." Coach said before I turned my focus to Jackson as our new problem arised.

" Paralyzed from the neck down. Do you have any idea what that feels like?" Jackson asked as I can feel his anger rising. Fucking whiny prick.

" I'm familiar with the sensation." Stiles said as I took his hand in mine.

" Wait- why would Derek test you? Why would he think that it's you?" Scott asked as I was intrigued.

" How should I know? It's Raven's psychotic brother!" Jackson said as he glared at me.

" Shut up Jackson, what my brother does, I don't really fucking have a clue." I said as I growled low.

" They think it's Lydia." Jackson said as I felt my muscles tense up.

" Wait, do they think it's Lydia? That's Raven's best friend!" Stiles said as I felt my wolf growling and snarling. That's my bestie! My rise or die!

" You better be fucking lying to me or I'll tear your teeth out with my claws." I snarled lowly at Jackson.

" I don't know! All I heard was her name and something about chemistry." Jackson said as I saw Coach coming up.

" Jackson! Do you have something you want to share with the rest of the class?" Coach asked as Jackson heartbeat increased.

" Umm... Just an undying admiration for my-my coach…" Jackson said nervously.

" That's really kind of you." Coach said lowly before picking it up.

" Now shut up! Shut it! Anybody else?" Coach screamed out. I smirked.

" How do we know it's not her?" Scott asked us. Oh fuck he didn't ask that.

" Because I looked into the eyes of that thing, okay? And what I saw was pure evil." Stiles said before I spoke up.

" Lydia is nothing close to evil! She's having trouble dealing with the effects of the bite, but she doesn't smell supernatural." I told them. Stiles had my hand.

" Raven, that's not a very good argument." Scott said as I huffed.

" I'm aware of that, but I swear it's not her. It can't be her. " I said before seeing Lydia freaking out. I got up.

"...Okay, then. Anybody else want to try answering? This time in English?" Coachsai as I walked to her.

" Lydia? Are you ok?" I asked as I saw her shaking and smelling of fear.

" I think it's happening again." She said as I nodded.

" I got you hun. It's ok. I'm going to take her in the hall." I said as Coach nodded. I took her into the hall after looking at Stiles.

" Lydia? Are you ok?" I asked as I lead her to an empty bathroom.

" I saw him coming at me." She said as tears went down her face. I gave her a questioning look.

" The man who bit me." She expressed fear and terror in her voice.

" Do you feel like you are not safe?" I asked as I grabbed a makeup wipe from her purse.

" I don't know how to feel." Lydia said as I pulled her into my arms. Expelling my warmth to her to calm her down.

" I promise you, I will keep you safe." I said in her ear. She held me tightly before we pulled away. I redid her mascara and we walked out. She smiled at me with a genuine smile.

" Thank you Ray Ray!" Lydia said with a slightly bright attitude to replace the sadness that had once wavered over her.

" I got to catch up with Stiles, but we can head to Chem together?" I said as the bell rang out. My phone buzzed.

" Absolutely!" She said before I hugged her.

" I'll be back bestie!" I said before dashing to my locker.

" Is she ok?" He asked as Scott looked at me needing to know.

" She is seeing Peter!" I said as I worried for her. Ever since she was bitten this has gotten bad.

" Are you sure?" Scott asked me before my eyes were full aglow.

" Lydia was terrified in Econ." I said as I felt my wolf becoming present.

" Thank you for keeping your mind focused." Stiles said as he took my hand in his. My eyes drained of its Alpha status.

" I protect my friends and my boyfriend." I said as he smiled and kissed my cheek.

" I'm glad you are an Alpha that has morals." Scott said as I laid my head on my man's shoulder.

" I take after my mother and my sister. I never forgot. Never plan to." I told him with a smile on my cheeks only to fall as I thought about what my brother and his pack had planned for Lydia.

" We have to tell her, I promised to keep her safe. Even if it means soon to tell her the truth." I said as I saw Scott looking concerned about my idea. It was time for someone to tell her!

" Is that really a good idea?" Scott asked me. I saw Stiles looking concerned.

" I don't know if she can handle it." Stiles said as I lifted my head and gave his hand a squeeze.

" She can. I have a feeling. I gotta go catch up to her and walk her to Chem. See you two there. Love you, Stiles." I said before giving him a quick kiss before heading off to see Lydia.

" Ready to go?" She asked as I smiled.

" Of course!" I exclaimed before we walked. I walked with her and sat her down in Chem.

" I feel the need to dye a streak in my hair." I said as I pulled a lock of my hair away.

" Red?" Lydia asked as I smirked.

" Def." I said with a smile as I placed my bag next to her. I saw Stiles and Scott come in.

" Keep her safe." Scott said lowly so only I can hear. I also saw Isaac and Erica.

" Einstein once said, "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity... And I'm not sure about the universe." I myself have encountered infinite stupidity. So, to combat the plague of ignorance in my class, you're going to combine efforts through a round of group experiments! Let's see if two heads are indeed better than one. Or, in Stilinski's case, less than one." Harris said as he looked at us.

" Erica, you take the first station. You'll start with-" Harris said as I saw hands raised up. God, they are hormonal as fuck!

" I didn't ask for volunteers. Put your hormonal hand's little hands down. Start with Mr. McCall." Harris said as I looked at the instructions. Act like everything is ok.

" All right, next two!" Harris said as I stayed put. I was helping Lydia with the experiment.

" What is with everyone being on everyone's ass?" Lydia asked.

" I don't really know." I said as the bell rang.

" Switch!" Harris said as I saw Allison come over and give Lydia a fear-filled look.

" Listen to me, okay? Don't talk to Erica or Isaac." Allison said as Lydia looked confused.

" Why?" She asked confused.

" Just don't." Allison said to her.

" Let's go, girls. Next station." Harris said as I nodded. I got up and was seated next to Isaac, oh fucking Christ.

" You hurt her at all. I'll tear you apart and feed it to the hounds of hell. Hell, we would celebrate it on her birthday." I said as I followed the instructions.

" Really?" Isaac asked before chuckling.

" I've never actually been to one of her big, invite-only birthday parties. I did ask her out once, though." He said as I groaned.

" Slipping into a coma of I don't give a rat's ass Isaac. You are a werewolf, but you are acting like a chew toy. Going to murder an innocent girl who happens to be my best friend." I said as I glared at him.

" It was the first day of freshman year." He started to speak and I wanted to drown out.

" Let me guess, you tried, you failed. Ended up crying like a baby." I said with venom lacing my tongue.

" Yeah. Yeah, she even laughed. Told me to come back when the bike I rode to school had an engine, not a chain." He said with a grin. Was he trying to hit on me? Fuck off!

" Unrequited love's a bitch. Channel that into a tree till it breaks." I said with my eyes bleeding red.

" Nah... I was thinking I'd channel it into killing her. I'm not very good at writing. Or better yet." He replied with a malice tone.

" And switch." Harris said before Isaac growled lowly.

" I'd do it to Stiles." He said before I got up. I felt my claws forming but I hid them quickly. Calm down, Raven!

" Dead puppy walking." I said before sitting next to Stiles. I saw Lydia sitting next to Isaac. No!

" Time! If you've catalyzed the reaction correctly, you should now be looking at a crystal. Now, for the part of that last experiment, I'm sure you'll all enjoy... You can eat it.." Harris said as I was worried for her. I smelt poison coming off of Lydia's crystal. She was going to eat it!

" Lydia!" Scott screamed at her.

" What?" She asked confused.

"...Nothing." Scott said as she bites into it. I walked up to her and she wasn't affected by the venom of the Kanima. I know it's not her. I was with her when it attacked Derek and Stiles! What is she, that can be dealt with later.

" You alright Lyds?" I asked as she grabbed her bag.

" Yeah, I'm ok. Just ready to study." She said as I smiled.

" I'll study with you." I say as I pulled up my books.

" Fantastic, I was going to ask. But, I have therapy with the guidance counselor I have to do. Meet up with me after?" She asked as I smiled.

" Definitely." I replied as I felt a presence near me. It was only Stiles.

" See you after." She says as she pulls me into a hug. She parts from me and heads out.

" We have to keep an eye on Lydia." Stiles said as he and I grouped up with Scott.

" Didn't have to ask me twice. Plus next time I see Isaac, I'm killing him." I said as Stiles looks at me.

" What why?" He asked as I took his hand into mine.

" He threatened you. He threatened to kill you." I said as his anger flared.

" That asshole." He said as I tightened my hand on his. He calmed down.

" He can't get to you. I won't let him." I said as he nodded and smiled. Moving his hand to my cheek.

" That's my girl." He told me before kissing my lips. It felt like a raging fire as he pulled away.

" Gods!" I whispered low as I wanted him, but I pushed the feelings down. I met up with Lydia, only for Allison, Jackson, and Stiles to come with us to the library.

" Glad we have time to study." I said with a grin.

" Same, 'cause Coach's antics are far from straightforward." Lydia said as I saw Stiles get a text.

" Hey Scott wants us to study at his house." He said with a grin.

" You wanna go?" I asked Lydia as she nodded.

" Yeah, lets go." She said as the five of us begin to head out.

" Jackson take Allison. I will follow Lydia and Stiles on my bike." I told him. Jackson nodded and I went with Lydia.

" So how are you two doing?" She asked as I smirked.

" Very well." I said with a grin.

" She is my lady." Stiles said as we got in the jeep. We got to Scott's house and all walked inside.

" If we're studying at Scott's house, then where's Scott?" Lydia asked as I shrugged.

" Meeting us here, I think." Stiles said as I saw Jackson getting worried.

" Lydia, follow me. I need to talk to you for a minute." Jackson said after Stiles boarded up the door.

" Seriously? What is going on with everyone?" Lydia asked me as I pulled her into a hug. We have to protect her. After tonight, I'll tell her the truth.

" I'll explain it all to you as I promised." I whispered to her. She hugged back.

" I hope you do." She said as I can smell sadness from her.

" I never break a promise." I whispered to her before parting from her and watched her and Jackson go upstairs alone.

" Is she going to be ok?" Stiles asked as I nodded.

" She will be. It's Lydia." I said before I sat down.

" All of his is fucked!" I said lowly as I heard it again.

Raven. All is clear. But sarafices are in store for you.

" The fuck!" I growled out as I saw in a front window my brother, Erica, Boyd and Isaac. Mother fucker!

" We told Scott we could protect ourselves, so let's do it! Or at least give it a shot, right?" Stiles said as I walked in.

" Okay." Allison said as I growled lowly. My friends are in danger! Stiles is in danger!

" Look, they don't think we're gonna fight, so if one of them gets hit, I guarantee they'll take off. So, just shoot one of 'em." Stiles said as I growled. Make a point of it.

" Which one?" Allison said as I saw the weapon in her hands.

" Uh, Isaac. Yeah, shoot him. Preferably in the head." Stiles said as I growled, yeah make a point of it.

" Scott was able to catch an arrow, I'm not sure about him." Allison said nervously.

" Okay, uh, just shoot one of the other three, then." Stiles said as I saw it was only Erica, Boyd and my brother.

" You mean, two." Allison said nervously.

" No, I mean three." Stiles said before looking.

"...Where the hell is Isaac?" Stiles said before I smelt him. I shifted as he hit Stiles.

" You dick!" I snarled at him.

" Bring it bitch!" He said as he came at me. I threw him by the throat and growled punches me as I grinned, letting my wolf take over to protect Stiles. I bite into his shoulder before throwing him. I planted my foot on his throat.

" I'm an Alpha. Mess with them. You mess with me. Stiles, my boyfriend; my mate. Allison, the huntress I am glad to call my friend. Scott, the beta who goes far to protect his friends. And Lydia; my best friend. Now if my brother doesn't get that, he has a problem coming his way." I snarled as I saw Scott show up.

" Stiles! Raven! it's here!" Allison's voice rang through the house. Scott and I soon threw out Erica and Isaac. I wiped away the blood from my lips.

" I think I'm finally getting why you keep refusing me, Scott. You're not an Omega- you're already an Alpha of your own pack. But, you know you can't beat me." Derek said with a grin.

" I can hold you off until the cops get here." Scott said as I felt fear run through me.

" We need to talk later brother." I snarled as he nodded. He was being complicit.

" Get them out of here!" Derek said as I heard hissing. I ran out to the front to see the Kanima. It had to be Jackson! I saw a fear filled Lydia come out.

" Would someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" Lydia screamed out as I ran to her. I held her as she cried.

" Lydia! Are you ok!" I asked as she was crying.

" Far from it!" She cried. It was time to tell her.

" I think it's time we had that talk. Get on my bike and I'll take you home." I said as she nodded. Stiles came up.

" Are you two ok?" Stiles asked as I nod.

" Yeah, I'm going to take her home to talk." I said as he placed a hand on my cheek. He took me from Lydia.

" Stay safe." He said as I smiled.

" I will." I said as he looked deep into my eyes with those chocolate hazel dreams.

" I love you Raven. Please promise me you won't get hurt." He said as I nodded.

" I promise to the moon and back I will stay safe. I love you so much Stiles." I said as he nodded.

" With the Kanima running around. I am afraid for you, my dad, our friends." Stiles said as I let my eyes glow their crimson red. My wolf present.

" We will keep them safe." I said as my wolf's voice bleeds into mine.

" That's my wolf girl. That's my Raven." Stiles said with a grin.

" Hey what can I say, meeting you I feel like I can be myself again." I said with a grin.

" Get her home." Stiles said calmly before pulling me into a deep richening kiss. I felt my soul being infused with life as his kiss brought me peace. He pulled away and I smiled. The blush of my cheeks feeling hot against my face was euphoric. I turned to Lydia and we got to my bike.

" We need to talk." I said before she nodded and we left.
