ONE NEW MESSAGE FROM: Alpha Twin #1
I stir from my slumber at the sound of my phone vibrating on my bedhead. I wonder who could be texting me at- Wait. What time is it anyway? I sit up and rub the sleep out of my eyes, looking over at the clock. 7:30am. Half an hour before I usually wake up. I contemplate going back to sleep, but the thought leaves my mind as another message comes through.
I look over at my cracked phone and see that I have several messages. One from Scott, one from Liam, two from Peter, and two from Ethan. My eyes widen slightly at how popular I am at this hour, and I decide to leave them for another ten minutes. I head to the bathroom and have a shower, making sure to wash my hair good as, me being me, I forgot to wash it for a couple of days. I then return to my bedroom and pick up my phone, unlocking it and replying to messages.
ONE NEW MESSAGE FROM: Creepy Petey
From: Creepy Petey
Stiles, we have a major issue concerning you and
Derek. You need to call me as soon as possible. I
mean it, Stiles.
From: Creepy Petey
Stiles, CALL ME! NOW!
To: Creepy Petey
Hold on. I have other people to message at the
moment. I'll call in like 5mins.
ONE NEW MESSAGE FROM: Scotty
From: Scotty
Stiles, I saw how Peter and Ethan were looking at
you yesterday. Even Jackson was giving you some
strange looks after looking at the former Alphas. We
need to talk. I'm worried about you.
To: Scotty
Hi to you too, wolfy. We can talk after Peter and I have
a chat. Who knows how long that's going to take. I'll
call you later.
ONE NEW MESSAGE FROM: Liam
From: Liam
Hey, Sti. Hayden and I are worried about you. Can we
meet up later?
To: Liam
Hey, Liam. Sure we can meet up. Why's everyone worried
about me? First Peter, then Scott, and now you. What the
hell is going on?
From: Liam
Peter's worried too? Wow. That must be major. Though I
do know for a fact that what Hayden and I are worried
about has nothing to do with what they're worried about.
To: Liam
Okay. That's a slight relief. I'll message you later. I have to
message Ethan, and then call Peter because he's worried
and being bossy.
ONE NEW MESSAGE FROM: Alpha Twin #1
From: Alpha Twin #1
Hey, Stiles. I know that we haven't really gotten along in
the past, but I was wondering if you wanted to meet up
later?
From: Alpha Twin #1
It is just a suggestion. You don't have to if you don't want
to.
To: Alpha Twin #1
Hey, Ethan. No, it's a great idea. I'll message you after I've
met up with Liam and Hayden, and then Scott, and after
I've called Peter. They're all worried about something.
To: Creepy Petey
Just come over. I can't be bothered calling you.
From: Creepy Petey
I had the feeling. I'm outside. Open the window.
I look up and see Peter looking at me through the window. I get off the bed and unlock the window, allowing Peter to open it and climb inside. The former Alpha closes the window and sits at my desk, facing me. I barely notice that the wolf is staring at me until I look up from my phone and meet the bright blue gaze of the Beta, my eyes going wide at the sight.
"What are you giving me your eyes for?" I ask warily. "Is there something wrong?"
Peter blinks, but his eyes remain the same. "There is, but, I'm not sure if I should tell you that part."
"Anyway, I can tell this is about Ethan. So, get talking. Tell me to stay away from the big bad ex-Alpha that tried to kill me, and threatened to as well."
"Actually, I was going to say the opposite. Ethan told me some things last night, and I am going to tell you that you would be better off staying close to him. There is a danger in Beacon Hills, and the Pack believes that you should stay close to one of us at all times."
"So, you think that Ethan is the best bet?"
"Yes, actually."
I rub my eyes and fall back onto my bed, causing my phone to go flying. It hits the ground and a crack resonates through the small room. I only let out a groan, not moving to pick up my possibly further broken phone, and cover my face with a pillow. I ignore the sound of footsteps, and jump when someone sits on my bed. The pillow gets pulled off my face and I realise that it is Peter - Peter with a concerned expression on his face.
Just seeing the look in Peter's eyes makes me break down. I start sobbing and feel arms wrap themselves around my frail body. I don't fight them, I, instead, bury myself in them and struggle to breathe, my breathing rapid and my heart racing much faster than normal. I feel so out of control, so broken and so weak, and I know that I am. I am just a Human.
The boy who runs with wolves.
"Breathe, Stiles," Peter says soothingly, patting me lightly on the back. "It's okay. You just need to breathe."
I sob. "I'm so weak. I can't even control myself."
"You're not weak. You're the strongest person in the Pack. You may be human, but you're one of the strongest people I know."
"I almost lost it again.. I was so close, Peter."
"You didn't though. You fought against it. It's alright. You did it."
"I... I want Ethan."
"He's already on his way. I messaged him as soon as I got here. I had the feeling that you would break down right in front of me."
"Thank you. You're a good friend, Peter. You're a better person than everyone else believes. They all think you're still the monster that tried to kill me."
