I arrived back at school around lunchtime. Beacon Hills was at its normal routine. Kids buzzing with laughter, floating around every inch of ground.

When I arrived at the stands I expected to see Mason and Liam, or at least Mason but when I got closer I examined that the stands were completely deserted.

I soon find Liam though, stuffed in the cafeteria at a table with Scott, Stiles, Kira, Lydia, Ronnie, and Malia.
Slowly approaching them, it seems a little weird to the pack altogether. As from what I've seen, they keep their werewolf associations strictly out of school.

For school was time to work on algebra and attempt to socially climb the popular kids or enjoy being a reject.

Either way, it sort of made me hesitate to approach them. I mean, Scott had announced me part of the 'pack' but I still didn't feel like I had been promoted to the lunch time comity.

Except before I could turn away, my eyes met Liam's and he patted Scott's shoulder as to signify a short goodbye and then, shot over to me.

No hug or anything, Liam just ran his fingers through his hair and slumped his shoulders.
"You're late" he states. I roll my eyes.
"Really? I didn't know"

A small smile spreads on his face, only a slight hint of amusement.
"I can hear your heartbeat you know? I can hear it lurch whenever you lay eyes on me. Your sarcasm is merely a mask"

I scoff.
"Oh please. Spare me your wolf pick up lines. My sarcasm only shows how unamused I am of the way you decided to say hello to me"

Liam's lips part and his eyebrows raise clumsily.
"Oh- sorry. Hi"
I smile, placing a small kiss on his lips.
"That's better" I entwine my fingers with his.
"Hi back to you"
I glance over to the group, who are discussing something that looks important.

"So what are you teen wolves discussing? Looks pretty important"

He nods, scrunching his nose.
"Nothing but an incredibly dumb plan."

I squint at him. "What kind of plan?"
"A plan to out the benefactor"

I part my lips, locking eyes with Liam.
"About that- this morning, I was late because I had a bit of a run in."

He interrupts. "A run in with what? Are you okay?"

I nod. "Yeah, yeah I'm good. Except I met a hunter who was an alpha as well. Confusing right?"

He raises an eyebrow.
"That doesn't make any sense"

I shake my head. "Don't I know it"

Letting go of his hand, I smooth my hair down.
"More to the point, she was helping kill people on the dead-pool. She wasn't on it though. Considering though, she isn't a part of beacon hills county."

His hand grabs mine and I'm led to the table.
Everyone murmurs a small hi before Liam blabbers the news.

"Maybe she knows who the benefactor is. The one who made the dead-pool"

I shrug.
"I still don't get that if her family are such strict hunters, why they haven't made her kill herself or why they didn't kill her themselves. Just saying" Malia spits.

I shrug.
"The way she said it was like they accepted her. It's possible, a truce. My family did it" I pipe in. Stiles raises an eyebrow, turning to me.

"If she's an alpha, it's probably because she killed the person that bit her"
His face turns a light shade of pink as he faces Ronnie. She smiles at him.
"I'm pretty sure I could have told you that for free Stiles...and it wasn't until a few days ago I thought that Miley Cyrus was the closest thing we had to supernatural."
I turn abruptly and grab Scott's wrist, yanking him up gently.
"We need to talk" is all I say.

Everyone doesn't really realize us scramble out of the room.
He stops.
"This is far away enough"
I shake my head, pulling him deeper into the corridors.
"Scott. We both know her supernatural hearing would suss us out before we even mentioned her name. Were you out of your mind? Telling her about the supernatural?!"

He straightens out, throwing his arms helplessly in the air.
"I-I- I didn't have a choice! It was that girl Bianca. The omega?"

I crease my eyebrow, leaning against the locker.
"Yeah I know her. What about her?"
Scott inches closer.
"Someone sent Bianca after Veronica. I don't know who. The two got in a fight and next thing I know Veronica's blabbering like a baby to Stiles."

I raise an eyebrow, clenching my fist.
"How exactly does this warrant her getting told about the supernatural?"

Scott shrugs.
"It was maybe the fact that the cuts healed in seconds and her fingernails grew inches and that her eyes glowed. I think that's a good enough warranty"

I crease my brows.
"So what did you do?"

"I told her that Bianca had the power to make that happen. I told her she was just as normal as that boy who eats by the dumpster"

I sigh, running my fingers through my hair. Everything got harder and harder these days.

"Scott, if I tell you something, you've got to promise to keep this from Ronnie. At least until tonight"

"Okay."

"Kate turned Veronica. This is why she's sending people after her. Kate wants to be sure, and if Kate finds out she turned Veronica then Kate will come after her. I can't let Ronnie be taken advantage of. There's a sure between the strong alpha and weak beta. So keep this a secret until we figure out what Kate's plan is"

"Jo...you chose the wrong night to force me to keep her a secret"

I shrug, walking by his side.
"And whys that?"
"Tonight's the night we perform our amazing plan to capture the benefactor, and she's insisted to come"
