A Pup Of Our Own

Chapter 1

A/N: This is a story that was exclusively on my ao3 now I am sharing it here for those who don't read my ao3 stories. I hope you enjoy. 

It was strange for the pack to see. Even after everything they've seen in Beacon Hills, this was still the hardest to comprehend. It just wasn't an everyday sight. Theo smiling and playing with a child.

A beta came into Deaton's one morning, seeking help. He told them how he had belonged to a werecoyote pack. They were well hidden but that didn't last long. Hunters came for them in the still of the night. Half the pack was wiped out before anyone could move a muscle. His own family was shot in front of him.

He told Deaton that some managed to get away, a few we're taken. "Infants. They're just babies. Please don't let the hunters kill them." He had begged and pleaded. In the end Deaton couldn't help him heal. He had died from loss of blood. Deaton told Scott what the beta had told him.

Immediately Scott and the pack headed to Hood Mountain. The beta told Deaton the coordinates of where the pack was attacked. When they arrived they found the dead bodies. Scott took a second to make an anonymous call to the ranger station and report it. Once they were sure someone was on their way they started to track the hunters.

With Derek, Malia, and Theo all in wolf/coyote form leading the hunt, it didn't take them long to find the group of hunters. They were in a log cabin high up in the mountains. Scott figured they were amateurs since there was no mountain ash protecting them. Any hunter with experience would have warded their base.

"Corey, I want you to try and get as close as you can. Take Derek with you. Try and figure out just how many there are, and if possible, find where they have the babies." Corey nodded and took Derek by the arm. Instantly they disappeared from sight. "Mason, you and Nolan are going to get the kids out and make your back to the rendezvous point. The rest of us will take out the hunters." Everyone nodded and once Corey and Derek got back they got ready.

The plan worked. Scott, Malia, and Derek attacked from the front. Theo, Liam, and Corey attacked from the back. Once the way was cleared Mason and Nolan rushed in and grabbed the two babies. They met up with Lydia at the rendezvous. Lydia called the local sheriff's department to report the hunters. She gave them an anonymous tip, claiming she saw them flee the scene of the murdered pack.

Scott and the pack incapacitated them and left them for the police. Making their way down to Lydia who had called Scott and said they had a problem. She didn't sound worried. She sounded annoyed and slightly angered. When the pack finally met up Scott figured out why.

The two babies they had rescued had shifted into puppies. One was obviously a wolf, it had squirmed free of Nolan's hold and ran up to Scott. It started to attack his untied shoelaces in a playful manner before doing the same to Derek and Liam. The other baby was obviously a mix of wolf and coyote. It's body was close to a coyote but it's facial features were more wolf.

The mixed pup wiggled free of Mason's hold, and ran straight for Theo. Standing on it's hind legs and whining till Theo kneeled down, at which point it hopped into his lap. Theo stood up while cradling it in his arms. It's whines turned to small yips as Theo petted it's head and back. The pup seemed to be very happy with Theo.

The pack was stunned to see the chimera smile as the pup tried to bite his fingers, which he was wiggling around in a teasing way. Theo didn't seem to notice everyone watching him interact with the pup. He was too busy playing and faking that he was hurt when the pup bit him.
