It had been a few days since the incident in the woods. Peter Hale had been killed by Derek. A few days off from the supernatural had been what everyone needed. A breath of fresh air. A moment of respite. 

The people of Beacon Hills were finally out of trouble. Or at least they thought they were. Derek Hale was cooking up a plan which is never a good thing. Derek is not a very good plan maker. He can follow a plan very well but making plans was not his forte. As proven with what he had just done.

Selene was pacing up and down the abandoned train warehouse looking at her new Alpha. The abandoned train warehouse was their new home. Possibly a step up from the burned down house they lived in before. But still weird. Why couldn't they get a house or an apartment like normal people? 

Selene's mouth opened and closed over and over like a fish. Thinking about what to say. Her pacing was a way to help her thoughts form but her brain and her mouth were not cooperating. She just couldn't understand what had just happened. 
"Will you please stop pacing?" Derek finally asked. "You're creating a draft." His eyes were closed and his head had been thrown back a long time ago. He was sat on a wooden box. 

"You bit Jackson?" Her mind finally chose as her words. Pacing for 20 minutes had lead her to that three worded question. Derek shrugged, still not opening his eyes. "Do you not quite grasp on how much of a dick he is?"
"It doesn't matter what kind of person he is. Scott made it quite clear he doesn't want to be a part of our pack." Derek pointed out. "Jackson was more than willing to become a wolf. We need the numbers. A pack of two is hardly a pack at all. Three isn't much better. I need more." 

He stood up from his box and looked down at Selene. "Do not tell Scott or any of his little friends about this. I don't want anyone to know I'm building up a pack. I don't want the hunters catching wind of this." The look in his eye told her this was an order and she could not disobey a direct order from her Alpha. No matter how stupid it was. 

"Fine." She huffed making her way towards the exit. "I'm going to see Lydia. She's still in the hospital." Derek shook his head and sat back down on his wooden crate. He didn't care about Lydia. In his mind everything Peter did was finished. Peter was long gone and was never coming back.

Selene sighed as she turned her car engine off. She couldn't help but feel guilty. If the Hale pack had just stayed away from Beacon Hills, would Lydia be in the hospital right now? After a few minutes of silence Selene finally exited her car and made her way up to the room Lydia was currently staying in. 

Lydia was at least awake now... unlike Stiles. Stiles was currently sprawled on the hospital waiting area seats. He looked content if he also looked really uncomfortable. He had bought Lydia a get well balloon which in his current state could have easily blown away or stolen.

Selene slid into one of the seats Stiles hadn't taken up. She put a hand on his foot on gently shook it.
"Stiles." She whispered. He smacked his lips and began to mumble something. "Stiles." She repeated.
"You're dirty." He said loudly in his sleep. A woman, trying to clean the trash out next to his head looked up at Selene disapproving. Selene couldn't help but blush. Finally the woman left which caused Selene to give out a sigh of relief. Selene gave his foot a quick jerk which woke him up immediately. The balloon reacted to him getting up suddenly by hitting him in the face.

"Do I want to know what you were dreaming about?" Selene teased. Stiles blushed slightly knowing that his answer would probably get him into trouble. Selene had been his girlfriend for a couple of days. She didn't need to know about his dreams. He thought about that statement for a second. His girlfriend. Was she his girlfriend? They hadn't really spoken about it. They were together but were they together officially? Selene pulled him out of his thoughts.
