My One Exception - Book 1

My One Exception - Wolvesbane

Well, this was another fun night in the Argent family. Derek had called Stiles to let him know that he found Scott and took him home. Stiles then ran Charlotte back before anyone knew she was missing. Charlotte had to be extra quiet as she snuck back in the house and up to her room. She had just laid down when she heard the front door bust open.

"Charlotte! We need you, now!! Get up!" Kate yelled up the stairs. Charlotte walked out to the landing, pretending to be half asleep.

"Wha? Why are you yelling? It's like one in the morning" she said.

"Get you stuff, let's go. We're going after Derek." Kate told her.

Running back into her room, she sent Stiles a text telling him what was going on. A minute later, he wrote back and said "Have her follow the Camaro." Smart kid.

Cut to the part where they are on a high speed chase with the boys, or who Kate thought was Derek. Chris called them saying that Derek was on foot, running into the ironworks. "Running?" she asked Chris, but he had already hung up. "If he's on foot, then who the hell driving his car?" Kate asked Charlotte.

Scott finally picked up the speed and ditched them around a turn.

"Damn it!" Charlotte faked being upset. "Who the hell is helping him?" she asked Kate.

Kate just shook her head "I don't know, but they're really starting to piss me off".

Later that next day, Charlotte was being drug around running "errands" with Chris and Kate. They were at the local gun shop stocking up on supplies. Charlotte acted like she was interested in something in the back just to get away for a moment. She would give literally anything right now not to be here. Just then, a text came in:

P: You my dear, did not stay inside.

C: I know...but he needed help. We didn't even get to him. Derek did.

P: I see.

C: You sound upset.

P: You could've been killed.

C: You do know that I am a skilled hunter, even if I don't want to be?

P: Yes, sweetheart. I'm well aware.

"Hey, we're leaving! Come on!" Kate called to her.

C: I have to go, I'll talk to you later.

P: Yes, you will.

Okay, that was weird, she thought. On the way out to the car, Stiles called. She was way behind the others, so she answered "What's up? they're here, by the way.

"Dude, we've got problems. The text supposedly sent from Scott's from originated from a computer at the hospital. Account is registered to his mom." Stiles spilled out quickly.

Melissa wouldn't have sent that text. Charlotte could tell that she was completely clueless about the whole werewolf thing. "Don't walk in there alone, I'll meet you there. Text me a time." and hung up.

"You and I are heading home." Chris told Charlotte.

"Who were you talking to?" Kate asked bluntly. 

"My bank. They were checking to see if I was the one making purchases on my card." Charlotte lied. Kate seemed skeptical, but got in her car and left.

When Chris and Charlotte got to the house, they found Scott outside. "I'm not dealing with this." she told Chris. Just then, Stiles texted.
