╰┈˚ · ° .  THE KANIMA SEEKS A MASTER. 

"You did it," Alec said. His lips twisted again into a proud smile and he didn't waste a second to wrap me in his arms and kiss me, shifting our position once again to where he was above me. "Good job, amore."A smile bloomed on my lips. I started to giggle as Alec started to spread kisses all across my face. "I'm proud of you."

A lovesick smile spread across my lips "I love you" I said

Alec freezed in his spot above me, eyes wide and pupil blown. "What did you say?"

I rolled my eyes, more to cover up the nervousness than anything. "I said..." I started with a more decisive tone before softening it "I love you"

He moved his head towards the side making me furrow my eyebrows. My heart was beating loudly in my chest as I grabbed his chin to make him look at me, only for me to freeze. A single tear had escaped his eye trailing down his cheek. I brushed it away with the pad of my thumb.

"You love me?" He asked, fear and longing leaking off him in waves.

"I do. I love you Alec. I'm in love with you" I said softly.

It was second, he was looking down at me and then his lips crashed against mine. Hard and relentless. "Ti amo." He said, the Italian words slipping off his lips easily "More than I ever thought it was possible to love someone." [I love you]

I wanted to say that we ended up fucking after that, I really wanted to. Both of us. But our phones chimed at the same time. A message from the group with Stiles and Scott.

Scott

Jackson escaped. Meet us at the station.

"Fuck" I said.

"Cockblockers" Alec muttered under his breath as got off of me. "Come on"

And with that, we sprinted out of the house. I drove us to the station where we met with the two boys.

"How the hell did you even lose him?" I shouted at the two best friends

"Don't look at me" Stiles said "Scott and Allison were busy." He pointed at his best friend with a knowing look

"So he escaped while you two were fucking?" Alec bluntly asked

Scott grimaced and said a quiet "Maybe"

"Good." Alec said with a scoff "At least someone actually got to fuck his girlfriend tonight"

I would have decapitated him in that moment if I didn't actually agree with him "This supernatural shit is really getting on my nerves" I said with frustrated breath "And while you were busy at screwing up your already dumb as fuck plan, I actually founded something"

"Why didn't you just start with that?!" Stiles said

"Because I'm angry. I'm literally three seconds away from murdering the two of you. Actually, correction. The three of you" I said out with anger "For this shits, my best friend is not talking to me, I am sexually frustrated and I am probably going to kill someone before the end of this week."

"What did I do now?" Alec asked confused only earning an even harsher glare making him raise his hands up

"Feeling better?" Stiles asked with a grimace. My glare shifted towards him, my eyes glowing golden. The boy yelped and took a couple of steps back at that.

"What did you find out?" Scott asked calmly

I took out my phone and immediately called Allison. "Flora"

"I'm with Scott, Stiles and Alec. I found something." I said to her before putting the call on speaker

"What is it?" She asked

"I translated the bestiary wrong the first time. The kanima seeks a master not a friend. Jackson is being controlled."

"Controlled?" Scott asked "How?"

"That, I don't know"

"I'm pretty sure that he is completely unaware of anything." Alec said

"If Jackson doesn't know what he's doing, then he probably doesn't know someone's controlling him." Allison stated

"Or he doesn't remember." The beta suggested

"What if it's the same kind of thing that happened with Lydia when she took off from the hospital?" Stiles asked

"A fugue state?" Allison asked

"He'd have to forget everything... the murder." Scott said

"Getting rid of the blood." The Argent girl added

"But he had help with one thing... the video. And someone else helped

him forget that." Stiles said

"Whoever's controlling him." Scott nodded his head.

"His master"

"Are you sure Jackson has no clue about any of this?" Allison asked

"He thinks he's still becoming a werewolf and that being with Lydia somehow delayed the whole thing."

"It's not possible" I said to them "The bite turns or kill you"

"Lydia did not do any of those things" Scott reminded me "And she is immune to the kanima venom too."

I exchanged a quick look with Alec. Both of us knew that there was just another possibility for the bite to not work. Being a supernatural creature already. But this was not the time to tell them, not that I wanted to do it in the first place.

"Do we try to convince him he's not?" Allison then asked

"If it helps us find out who's controlling him, then yeah." Scott sated

"Do you think he'll talk to us after what we did?"

"Yeah, it's us. He'll talk to us. Right?" The human boy shrugged his shoulders

"No, he probably won't" I said "I'll call you later, Ally. And let me know of Lydia talked to you or even texted" I added with a tired sigh

"Yes, don't worry" She said before she hanged up

Silence stretched between us until Stiles decided to speak "We should probably go inside and talk with my father" he said with sigh

"You decided to tell him the truth?" Alec asked making Stiles sigh out and nod his head reluctantly

"I have to" He answered

We followed after him entering the sheriff department station, the industrial lights shining brightly above us.

Signaling to a deputy, Stiles asked "Can you buzz us in? I gotta to see my dad"

The deputy opened the door for us and we followed after the son of the Sheriff until we ended up face to face with Mr. Witthemore and his son, Jackson who had a cocky smirk plastered on his face.

"Scott, Stiles, Alec." The sheriff said looking at the three boys "Perfect timing" He pointed at the man behind him "Have you met Jackson's father, Mr. David Whittemore Esquire."

"That means lawyer," explained Jackson.

I glared at the three boys next to me "Don't say it, Lizzie." Scott sighed out

I didn't. I just glared as the Sheriff escorted the three boys in an interrogation room. Melissa McCall had been called for his son, she stayed near the doorway while Mr. Whittemore, with his hand on a chair, looked at the three boys with a glare.

"You can't come in, Elizabeth" The sheriff said stopping me from entering the room

I looked at my boyfriend, who sat in the chair in the middle. One arm casually thrown over the back of Scott's chair. He looked completely bored and unbothered by everything.

"The stupid one in the middle is my boyfriend." I nodded towards Alec who waved at us with his fingers "He is an emancipated teen as you already know. If I can hear what they shouldn't do I can actually be sure that the three of them will follow those rules."

It wasn't true, I couldn't give two shits if they followed it. I just wanted to glare at them with a look on my face that said 'I told you so'

With a sigh, the sheriff nodded his head moving slightly towards the side to let me in. My glare never faltered to the three teens. What did I say? The plan was going to bite ass back in the ass, and what did they do? They continued to make it worse.

Reading from his clipboard Sheriff Stilinskin listed the rules of the restraining order. "You will not go within 50 feet of Jackson Whittemore. You will not speak to him. You will not approach him. You will not assault or harass him physically or psychologically."

"What about school?" Stiles aske

"You can attend classes while attempting to maintain a 50-foot distance." His father answered

"Okay, what if we both have to use the bathroom at the same time and there's only two stalls available and they're only right next to each other?" Stiles questioned but as he saw the angered look in his father's eyes he just said "I'll just hold it."

After that the sheriff said they could go. Alec was the first one to rise from his seat, his grin was maddening and I really wanted to claw it away from his face and at the same time kiss him until we both couldn't breath. We were at the sheriff station so I couldn't really attack him and I was still angry with him so the second thing was out of question, so the third option was it. The silent treatment.

"Oh, come on amore" He said as he approached me. I simply pivoted on my heels and walked out of the room. Him following after me.

As soon as we were in an empty hallway he started to talk again "Yes, you were right. It was dumb plan but I couldn't really pass up the opportunity to see him that way. Jackson is way too cocky. He needed to be taken down a peg" Still not answering him he sighted but apparently my glare was doing anything but making him grin wider "You know that I love when you are angry, little witch. Is not going to work" he added while coming closer and closer until our lips brushed against the others when he talked.

I crossed my arms on my chest still not breaking my glare even with the small space between us. "You can glare all you want. You can't be angry with me. You can threaten me. You can use your witchy trick on me and still it won't change the fact" still no words from me so he continued to talk "What fact?" he asked with a cocky smirk as I was the one who had actually spoken. "You love me." My glare harshened as he chuckled lightly, "And it won't change the fact that I love you. You're mine, little witch. Never forget that."

I rolled my eyes at him, my glare softening lightly as he kissed my forehead. I grabbed his arm and dragged him with me towards the two best friends.

"I'm the worst son ever." Scott said

"Well, I'm not exactly winning any prizes either."

"I don't have that problem" Alec said with a shrug

"You have a scary girlfriend. You are probably in a worse situation than us" Stiles looked ame with a grimace before quickly snapping his eyes away from my glare.

"Probably" Alec said, I could feel his eyes on the side of my face.

"Dammit! You give him a restraining order, and he's mocking you!" We all heard Jackson dad shout at the sheriff "And what do I do about going to the bathroom?"

"Let's go" I said to Alec "See you tomorrow" I added to the two other boys as I dragged Alec away with me.

╰┈˚ · ° .  I arrived home, not speaking to Alec once during the whole ride.

"C'mon amore, just say something" The shadow wolf continued to try as we entered my room "You know-" He cut himself off at the sight of Lydia sitting at the end of my bed.

"Lydia?" I asked confused

"Hi, sorry I didn't meant to-"

"It's fine, don't worry." I quickly said. It had been days since I last spoke with her. All my messages went unanswered, just like my calls.

"I leave you two to talk." Alec said. He kissed the side of my head before walking away, closing the door behind him

"Soo, it's like a serious serious thing with him?" Lydia asked trying to break the ice

"I don't want to talk about Alec and I now" I said with a frown

"Yeah..."

Uncomfortable silence stretched between us, it never had been like this in our friendship.

"I miss you, Lyds" I reveled with a sigh, tears pooling in my eyes

"I know, I miss you too" She said not looking at me "But you are still keeping secrets. I was okay with that before but now... I need to know the truth."

I know she was right but I couldn't let the words out of my mouth

"Please, Elle." She begged with tear stained cheeks

My phone chimed into my pocket and I quickly saw that it was Alec

Alec

Tell her. She is your best friend, you can trust her. I'll leave you two alone. I'll see you tomorrow, amore.

Reading the message gave me the courage to speak. I wanted to roll my eyes at his eavesdropping but I refrained from doing so. "Alright, but you have to keep it for yourself. Don't tell Allison or Scott or the other. I will tell you but they don't need to know that you are aware of it."

"Okay" She said even if her confusion was clear.

And so I did. I told her everything from the beginning. From the fire and the real reason why my family was killed, to the hunters and werewolves. About the people that Peter killed to the one of the Kanima. About my double supernatural status and how Alec was a different kind of werewolf. I told her everything, even how Hex wasn't a weird snake but my familiar, and to say that a weight was lifted from my shoulders, it would've been understatement.

"So all of you are..." She trailed of with wide surprised eyes

"Not everyone. Stiles and Allison are human. Allison thought is a hunter in training."

"And you are..."

"A hybrid, yes. Witch and werewolf"

Lydia let out a sigh of disbelief making her body fall on the bed "That was a lot"

Laying down next to her I said "I know" I hesitated for one second before I decided to not lie to her anymore "When Peter attacked you, he bit you. He was an alpha and the bit of an alpha can kill or turn you."

"But I'm still alive" She said confused

"Those two option are for humans"

"Are you saying..."

"That you might have been a supernatural creature already, that is why it didn't work on you." I explained.

Lydia's expression was a mix of confusion and fear "Then what am I?"

"I don't know. I'm trying to figure it out. No one else other than Alec knows about my hypothesis though."

We stayed in silence, I let her assimilate what she had just learned. About how the world was not as normal as she thought and the possibility that she was not so human to begin with.

A grin then spreaded on her full lips. She raised slightly using her elbow to support her weight "Show me. Show me something"

I couldn't help the laugh that left my lips. I sat up cross-legged and facing towards her "Are you sure?" I asked Sitting up facing me she enthusiastically nodded her head

"Okay" I mumbled before making my eyes glow and claws appear.

She gasped lightly, her eyes moving from my now golden one and my hand.

"This is the werewolf side?" She asked

"Yes but I'm not fully transformed now. I can grow fangs too" I explained while returning to my human form.

"What about your witchy side?" Lydia said while wiggling her eyebrows.

I thought for a second before an idea popped into my mind. "Lay down again" I said while quickly runned to turn off the light and the bedside table lamp. The room was soon casted in darkness only slightly lightened by the stars and moon outside in the night sky. I layed next to my best friend "Ready?" I asked with a grin

"For what?"

"You'll see"

I closed my eyes and thought of that precise moment

"Sit memoria ludere." I mumbled the spell under my breath and soon, almost like we were watching a movie from a projector, a memory started to play. It was the day when we became friends.

"Oh my god..." Lydia whispered looking wide-eyed at the memory playing on the ceiling. As it finished, I waved my hand breaking of the spell "That was- I don't even have words for it"

"Yes well, it's not only cute spells, I can serious kick ass with my powers too" I smirked

"Oh I never doubt it. I'm sure you would find a way to use even a spoon to be a weapon" She said with an amused scoff

"It's easy actually–"

"I don't want to hear it" She quickly cut me off.

"Now that you know everything, I have a favor to ask." I grimaced "I need your help with translating the bestiary. I'm not very good with Ancient Greek. You on the other hand..."

"I knew there was something to pay for that little spell. All magic comes with a price" She said quoting Rumplestilskin

My bedroom was soon filled by the sound of my laugh "Always."
