" Gym class. Ugh." I said as I stood next to Stiles in my gym clothes. We were rock climbing.

" It's not so bad." He replied with a slight wince in his voice.

" I do this shit running." I said with a smirk.

" I know, but its mandatory." Stiles replied before I see Scott fall and get caught by the rope.

" McCall, I don't know why, but your pain gives me a special kind of joy... Right?" Coach said with a grin as loud as he could scream.

" All right, next two! Stilinski, Hale, let's go! The wall." Coach yelled. I got situated quickly.

" So is Isaac ok?" Stiles asked as I began to climb.

" I wouldn't know." I said with truth on my tongue.

" You don't?" He asked. I looked at him as I scaled up.

" It's Derek's beta and problem." I said as I felt a surge of anger fill me.

" Not about that pack?" Stiles asked as I stopped, he got next to me.

" No." I said as he nodded. We finished quickly and came down.

" Next Erica and Brent." Coach said as I saw a nervous girl go up and attempt to climb. I sensed she was panicked.

" Oh, please-" Erica whispered.

" Oh, no." I whispered as I felt Stiles put his hand on my shoulder.

" Erica? Dizzy? Is it vertigo?" Coach asked aloud.

" Vertigo's a dysfunction of the vestibular system of the inner ear. She's just freaking out." Lydia said in a slight tone. I got out from Stiles' grasp and began to climb up without having my guard set.

" Woah, Raven!" Scott exclaimed as I got to her.

" Be careful!" Stiles' voice echoed in my ears.

" Erica? You ok?" I asked her, she looked afraid.

" I'm fine, I promise." She whispered quickly.

" Erica, you don't have to prove anything to anyone." I said with a friendly smile. She looked at me and nodded.

" Let's get down." I say with a calm tone. She nods and we climb down.

" See? You're fine. You're on the ground. You're all right. Let's go. Shake it off. You're fine." Coach said as I walked her away from the laughing crowd.

" Go get changed and let it out." I told her, and she nodded and walked away.

" I'm proud of you." Stiles said as he came up and hugged me. I gave a small hug back.

" It'll be ok." Stiles said as the class went to the washrooms. I went and followed. I didn't see Erica at all. I quickly got into a black and red stained tank top and some torn black jeans. As I zipped up the last of my boot, I felt off.

" Where?" I asked myself as I looked around. I walked out and the feeling got a lot stronger.

" Erica!" I exclaimed as I ran to find Scott had caught her. She tried to climb the wall!

" What happened?" I asked Coach.

" I don't know." He replied as I had saw someone call 911. They soon arrived and took her away.

" I felt it Stiles." I said as he gave me my black hoodie.

" Felt it? Like Scott?" He asked as I nodded.

" I felt so cold and weak." I told him as he held me tight. The school was pretty much over after that. Stiles and I decided to go for chinese. We sat down as I rubbed my hands.

" Still feeling it?" Stiles asked me as I nodded. I took a big bite of my noodles as Stiles broke into the chicken. I swallowed and thought that feeling finally dispersed.

" Remember how you asked me if I was a pack kind of girl?" I asked him as he nodded.

" Not really no, I've heard stories of packs being slaughtered by a rogue wolf, hunters and what happened to my family; I can't do it." I said before taking another bite.

" I understand." He replied as I kept eating. He took my hand after I swallowed more food. I nodded and let a single tear down my cheek, only for Stiles to catch it.

" If you ever do, let it be the right reason." He said as I smirked.

" When hell freezes over." I replied before we finished our meal. We walked back to his jeep to see my brother there.

" Speaking of." I said as I walked over.

" Yes my dear brother, what Alpha business do you have with me?" I asked as he smirked.

" Just informing my Alpha baby sister that I've added another to my roster or pack members." He said as he walked away. Another? I didn't have time to ask him as he had disappeared.

" What did he have to say?" Stiles asked as I felt him lace his hand in mine and gave it a squeeze.

" He added another. He turned into another teenager." I said as I looked at him.

" The question is who?" Stiles asked me before we got into the jeep. We got back to his house before dark. I smirked at him as I fell on his bed.

" An Ice rink?" I asked as he sat by me.

" Yeah, you know, ice, blades. Fun!" He said as I smirked.

" I think I need a distraction." I said as he looked surprised.

" Really now?" He asked with a smirk as I pulled him in. I planted a hard kiss upon his lips as he reste on top of me.

" God, you're sexy." Stiles whispered as I pulled his shirt off, I lifted up so he could take my top off. The way his pheromones hit me was like a sexually driven rush. I felt my eyes glow as he moves to take my pants off. I felt my drive increase before I flipped him over and got on top. I removed his pants quickly and sank down. The impact of our union was star breaking

" Oh God!" I cried out as his member slid with no resistance inside me.

" Fucking christ!" Stiles' voice was all echos. I began to move with no hesitation as my body moved of its own accord. I moved Stiles' hands to my ass to guide me.

" Ahh!" I cried out I felt the familiar shift in my spine. That growing feeling of my core tightening. I wanted that feeling. I flipped Stiles and he smirked before slamming inside me. I cried out again as he kept moving.

" Stiles!" I moaned out as I couldn't take it anymore. I let out a cry of pure pleasure as I felt nothing but heat and warmth envelop me. I felt Stiles' body collapse on me.

" I definitely needed that." I said as he pulled out of me. He was out of breath.

" That was enticing." Stiles said as he kissed my forehead.

" Don't know how often we get to do that." I replied as I put my clothes back on, I laid on his bed as he got dressed as well.

" I'm sleeping in here." I said as I pulled the covers up. I felt the bed move before Stiles cuddled up to me.

" Who did Derek chose?" Stiles asked as I huffed.

" I don't know." I replied as sleep enveloped me.

I was running through the woods as I saw the other wolves running ahead of me. Their howls of happiness grew loud and victorious.

" Wait for me!" I cried out before going on all fours. They were all happy as I caught up. They changed their shape and became familiar faces.

" Be ready." A voice called out. I looked about to see my family was gone. A black wolf with ruby red eyes staring at me.

" Mom?" I asked as I was ripped away from the wolf. I was thrown into the preserve, in front of the husk of my home.

" What?" I asked as I saw eyes glowing in the doorway, but it refused to come out, but leaving growls in it's wake.

I woke up to the smell of coffee.

" What?" I asked as Stiles' smiling face came into view.

" Got you coffee. The shower is ready for you." He said as I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I yawned and got up, shedding my clothes and going into the shower. I cleaned up and let my body become engulfed in water and body wash. After raising my long black hair, I hopped out and dried it off. I saw Stiles left me some clothes. I pulled on a dark blue v neck and some black pants. I put my hair down and put on some black lipstick and dark eyeshadow.

" You good?" Stiles' voice hit my ears. My inner wolf howled with happiness.

" Yeah, I'm good." I said with a grin.I grabbed my black Milwaukee platform wedges and zipped them up.

" Hot damn, where were these shoes?" Stiles asked as I smirked.

" Pulled them out of my clothing trunk." I said as he looked at me.

" You look hella fine." He said as he kissed my cheek.

" Why thank you." I said before heading outside.

" I'm riding with you." I said as he smirked. I flashed him my eyes.

" How did I end up with a hella fine girl?" Stiles asked as I got inside.

" Fate, I guess." I replied to him with a big grin. We got to school with no problems. I got into class and finished my essay with the few remaining bit of time I had. Being at least an A student did help my curriculum, but Gerard is another fucking problem. I turned in my paper quickly and went to my next class. I felt my phone buzz before I sat by the window. It was Derek.

Keep an eye on Gerard for me. D.

Jesus Christ.

Trying to keep my ass alive. But I have no problem helping keep OUR asses alive. That means all my friends. RH.

I put my phone on my desk as the teacher walked in. Stiles was right next to me.

" You ok?" He asked as the teacher wrote on the board. He placed his hand on mine.

" As much as I can be." I replied before zoning out in class. The bell rang, Stiles took my hand and we went to lunch.

" Come with." He said as I smirked. I see Lydia with a thumbs up as she looked me up and down.

' Thank you.' I quietly mouthed to her. Stiles and I sat down.

" Boyd. You got the keys?" Stiles asked Vernon. He held the keys out and tried to take them, but refused to let go.

" This isn't a favor- it's a transaction." Boyd replied as I smirked.

" He's a man of principle Stiles." I said as he smiled cheekily at me.

" Right. Absolutely." My boyfriend replied before placing a single twenty on the table.

" I said fifty." Boyd replied to the gesture.

" Really? I-I remember twenty. I don't know, I have a really good verbal memory, and I remember twenty. I remember that distinct "twuh" sound, "twuh-enty." " Stiles said sly like to entice the teen in front of us. I just chuckled. Boyd saw this and grinned.

" I said "fifty." With the "fuh" sound. Hear the difference?" He responded to Stiles.

" If you can't, I can demonstrate some other words with the "fuh" sound…" Boyd said sternly to Stiles, who dug into his pocket.

" Uh, no. N-no. I think I'm recalling it now. Maybe I just got it confused with "fuh"-orty." Stiles remarked as he placed another crumbled-up twenty on the table. Boyd didn't flinch and ate a chip as if not to take the bait.,

" Come on, man. Have you seen the piece of crap Jeep that I drive?" Stiles said as I had no issue giving the money for a fun date. I pulled my bag out.

" You seen the piece of crap bus that I take?" Boyd retorted to him. I pulled the forty Stiles placed and gave Boyd a crisp one hundred dollar bill.

" Go get something nice Boyd. Have a good one." I said as he smiled and gave me the keys.

" Now that is business." He said as I nod and pull Stiles up while handing him the forty he attempted to give Boyd.

" You carry that?" Stiles asked as I showed the extra 6 one hundred dollar bills I had in my wallet.

" Why?" He asked me. I shrugged with a grin.

" Never know when Lydia wants to go shopping. And I do love a good shopping spree." I said as I smirked.

" But!" Stiles exclaimed as I shrugged.

" I have money, I just don't like others to know. Not to mention the trust fund that's locked till I'm 18." I said with a grin. Stiles looked stunned.

" Do I want to know?" He asked as I smirked.

" Wouldn't you like to know weather boy?" I asked before sitting with Scott.

" Got 'em. Pick Allison, Lydia, and my favorite girl up right after work tonight, and we'll all meet at the rink, cool?" Stiles asked Scott, who nodded. I smelt another wolf, freshly transitioned. I looked to see a sexed-up-looking Erica. I let a low growl out. I felt Stiles take my hand and squeeze it.

" The fuck!" I asked as I saw Erica take a bite from an apple and walk away.

" ...What... the holy hell... is that?" Lydia asked me as I huffed.

" It's Erica." Scott replied. I watched as Scott and Stiles left.

" I have no clue what has got into her." Lydia stated as she took my hand in hers.

" It'll be alright Lyds." I said as she nodded. School pretty much went by smoothly before we teens got to leave.

" It's going to be ok." Stiles said after we got back to his house. I changed out of my clothes.

" I hope so cause Erica, how she looked, it makes my blood boil." I said as he got up and came over to me.

" I wasn't looking at her, I was concerned about you." He said before he gave me a reassuring kiss. I smiled and got dressed in a tight red long sleeve top with black pants. I grabbed my boots and laced up. I smiled as we left after Scott told us he was off work.

" Got me some skates?" I asked as Stiles held up these black ones. I took them and smiled.

" Have you done this before?" He asked as I nodded.

" When I lived in New York with Derek and Laura, we would skate all the time." I said as he smiled.

" Till we handle Gerard, I'm stuck with living with you." I said with a grin. He kissed me before we got Lydia.

" All good?" She asked as we got to the ice rink.

" Very." I replied with a wink. We got into the ice rink with Scott and Allison behind us. I sat with Stiles to lace up.

" Could it be any colder in here?" Lydia asked as I saw Stiles pull an orange jacket out.

"...I'm wearing blue. Orange and blue? Not a good combination." She said as I chuckled.

" But it's the colors of the Mets." Stiles said as if offended.

" I find the METS pretty chill." I responded. Stiles looked at me and just smiled.

" That's a reason I love you." He said before placing a kiss on my forehead.

" Okay, um, maybe orange and blue is not the best, right, you know... Um, sometimes, there are other things you wouldn't think would be a good combination, but end up turning out to be, like, a perfect combination. Do you know? Like, two people together... who nobody ever thought would be together ever...Like Raven and I. I honestly never thought we would end up together." Stiles said as he took my hand in his, that warmth flooding my very soul.

" No, I can see that." Lydia replied to his statement, I see him go kind of shocked.

" You can? Not everyone can!" Stiles exclaimed as I let a laugh out.

" Yeah." Lydia said with a grin at us.

" They're cute together. So do you two." She replied as I smiled warmly to her.

" And that is why you are my best friend." I said to her before Stiles gave her a reeses. She took it and unwrapped it. She smirked and put it in her mouth. Stiles and I got on the ice, I felt free and glided with grace. Thank you werewolf genes. I glide away to do a couple of spins and skate away before coming back to an awe-struck Stiles.

" I never knew that you were that good." He said as I chuckled.

" It's all ok." I said before going for a small kiss before the loud shriek stopped me. Lydia, kneeling on the ice was screaming bloody murder. I skate over to her, she is scrambling her hands on the ice.

" Lydia!" I exclaimed as I tried to pull her away from the spot.

" Lyds!" I screamed out as I saw Scott and Allison looking afraid for her.

" Lydia." I shrieked again, she snapped out of it and cried in my arms.

" I got you, it's ok." I said as I held her. Stiles helped me get her off the ice.

" What is happening?" She asked as I shrugged.

" Let's get you home." I said as the group agreed with me. Stiles and I got her home with no issue. After Stiles and I got back to his house, we just laid in bed listening to music.

" She'll be ok right?" Stiles asked as I sat up.

" I'll make sure she is. She's my best friend." I said before he sat up and laid me down. I placed my head on his chest.

" I can only hope." I said as sleep hit me hard.

I was thrown back in front of my old house again, the husk dusted with decay and torched flames that had its hold once before.

" Come on!" I screamed before shifting. I was ready to fight.

" Show yourself!" I screamed out. I heard movement before I was hit. I got back up as growls hit my ears.

" God damn it!" I screamed as I saw shapes moving close to my home.

" I can do this all day! Come on!" I screamed as I let out a roar that shook me to my core. But all I saw was the shape in the doorway leading to the home where my family burned. The growls welcome the challenge.

I woke up with Stiles coming out of the shower in nothing but a towel.

" Glad you are awake. I sorted some clothes." Stiles said as I saw he laid out a black v-neck and some blue jeggings.

" Thanks." I said before getting out of bed and getting a hot shower myself. After I washed and rinsed, I popped out. I dried off quickly and put my hair in a long braid.

" No makeup today." I said as I got dressed. Stiles and I headed out in his jeep. I leave my bike unless I do need the sucker.

" It's alright, let's just go to class." I said as I smirked. Stiles and I went to class. As classes rolled, I noticed something, where is Boyd?

" Stiles, Boyd's not here." I said as we saw his lunch table empty. Stiles and I ran to Scott. My inner wolf howled with worry.

" Scott, do you see that?" Stiles said as we pointed to the table.

" What? It's an empty table?" Scott said as I growled low.

" Yeah, but whose empty table puppy?" I asked as I saw the gears turning.

"..Boyd." Scott said before we all shot out of there quickly. The bell rang loud as Scotty, Stiles and I were in the hall worried.

" I'm going to the ice rink, see if he's there. And, if he's not at home, you call me, got it?" Scott said as we looked at him.

" What?" He asked us.

" Maybe we should let him…" Stiles said as I got worried now.

" Boyd, you know, man? You said Derek's giving them a choice, right?" Stiles said as I was concerned even more.

" We can't." I quietly spoke as my manta hit me.

" You gotta admit, Erica looks pretty good." Stiles said as I stopped him.

" Easy Stiles, you might end up in the dog house." I said as he gulped.

" I'mma shut up." He said as I nodded.

" Yeah, how good do you think she's gonna look with a wolfsbane bullet in her head? Or Raven for that matter!" Scott said as I flashed my eyes.

" Calm it, I've been at this for a while." I said with my wolfish voice.

" All right. All I'm saying is, maybe this one isn't totally your responsibility." Stiles said as I didn't know what to think.

" They all are. And you know this thing's gonna get out of control. That makes me responsible." Scott said in a respectful way.

" All right, I'm with you. Both of you. And, I also gotta say... this new-found heroism is making me very attracted to you…" Stiles said as I chuckled loudly.

" Shut up." Scott tells both of us.

" No, seriously! Do you wanna just try making out for a sec? Just to see how it feels?" Stiles asked in a joking way.

" You are mine Sti." I said as I flashed my eyes at him, he smirked at me.

" I was making a joke." He said as I chuckled. But if Derek has three, he has the modifications to have a pack. He was strong.

" Much love Stiles." I said with a grin.

" I love you too Raven." He replied before giving me a deepening kiss. I pulled away.

" Let's find Boyd." Stiles exclaimed as we left. We rode over to Boyd's house after finding the address.

"Hey, Boyd? Hey, Boyd? It's Stiles and Raven." Stiles called as he got to the door, I smelt a wolf a turned around.

" Wow." Stiles exclaimed.

" What are you doing here, Stiles? Raven." She said with a slight annoyance to her, god she gets to be a wolf and she's bitchy. Great!

"Uh, nothing. I was just looking for, um- " Stiles stammered.

" Boyd?" She asked. I got in front of Stiles.

" Very much so yes. Business is no of yours." I said standing firm.

" You know what you're doing right now that's kind of funny? You're only looking into my eyes." Erica said as she looked at Stiles.

" That's funny?" Stiles asked her.

" Why would that be funny now Erica?" I said with a growl.

" Well, yeah... Because it's that kind of look where you're trying not to look anywhere other than my eyes... But you want to, don't you? You want a nice, long, hard... look." She told him, trying to flaunt herself.

" Not really, no." Stiles told her. I made my eyes glow.

" Back off bitch, he's mine." I said as she flashed her beta eyes at me.

" I have beautiful everything." She said with a smirk.

" Overconfident much now beta!" I said with my fangs showing.

"' Congratulations, Erica. We should get going. We have a date." Stiles said taking my hand. He was trying to get us out of here.

" You're not going anywhere." She said with a growl, oh really now!

" Why not?" Stiles asked as I saw she had a car part in her hands.

"...You're having car trouble." She said before hitting him and then hit me. I stumbled for a minute before getting up. I growled as I saw Stiles was down, but she hit me oh hell no!

" Run bitch!" I said as I gave her a head start.

" He will leave you for me." She said as I growled loud to make her shake.

" Like to see you try. Now Go the fuck away." I snarled at her. I watched her leave. I got to the ground and checked Stiles' head.

" Sti? Wake up?" I asked as I caressed his face. I stayed with him till he woke up in pain, a good hour before he came to.

" Bitch!" He said holding his head. I placed my hand on his neck and siphoned some pain from him.

" Next time I see her, she's a fucking dead cunt." I said as I helped him up.

" You ok?" He asked as he checked me over.

" I'll heal. I always do. But I think I will give Derek a visit. Let me call you a tow." I said as I pulled up local tow company. It wasn't long before one came up.

" $100 to tow it." The gentlemen said as I pulled a hundred out. He took it and got Stiles' jeep on the tow motor.

" Call me when it's done." I said as I inhaled deeply for Erica's scent. Found it.

" I have a meeting with my brother." I said flashing my eyes and began to walk towards the beta who thought I was the one to mess with.
