╰┈˚ · ° .  I HAD TIME TO JUST GRAB SOME ESSENTIALS FROM MY HOME before I had to drive to Lydia's house. Now, sitting on the strawberry blonde girl's bed with my back to the headboard and a pillow in my lap, I listened to Lydia rant about the new gossip at school while we waited for our third member to arrive. Well, at least the gossip that did not involve Lydia since she had made a name for herself and not in a good way.

Lydia phone chimed from her dresser, an incoming facetime. The already there smile from today's seventeen years old girl, widened even more as she read the name displayed on her scream. A high pitched screech filled the otherwise quiet room as soon as Lydia answered her call.

"And here is the birthday girl! Happy birthday to my favorite cousin!" The familiar voice and face of the blond came from the screen. Sebastian Miller, Lydia's cousin from her mother's side. With long wavy bright blonde hair messily styled, porcelain skin tone and mixed blue-green colored eyes. Everytime that I had met him, or talked to him through phone with Lydia, the boy always seemed happy, laughter easily spilling from his pink lips. Very similar to his cousin in many ways, with his witty remarks and literally zero filter for his words, but Sebastian, opposed to Lydia, when it comes to his love life or flirting in any way, he always becomes a flustered mess. Something that I had the pleasure of seeing many times in my life.

"Aww thank you Seb." Lydia grinned widely, showing her pearly white teeth "I miss you, you know."

"Don't worry, Lyds. I'm sure that we will see eachother soon" Sebastian said, a tender tone seeping through his words.

"Oh, look who is here!" The strawberry blonde said, now pointing the camera of her phone towards me.

"Oh my gods, is that The Elizabeth Hale" Sebatian dramatically exclaimed "I can't believe what my eyes are seeing right now."

"Get fucked, blondie" I said while trying to contain a chuckle

"I wish" He said with a heavy sigh making both Lydia and I snort. "You are a ray of sunshine like always, Lizzie. You always know how to lighten up my day."

"You are so dramatic that it actually hurts." I commented, now looking at the screen of Lydia's phone since she now stood next to the bed where I was sitting.

"Anyways, party tonight, right?" Sebastian asked with knowing glint

A scoff left Lydia's lips, just having to ask if she was having a party for her birthday was outrageous to the girl. "Of course" She deadpanned with an offended look "I really want to disown you for even having the guts to ask that."

"Oh my god, sorry." Seb rolled his eyes "It's just that I thought that you would be already getting ready for it by now."

"We are waiting for Allison, actually." Lydia said with a bite, "She is late and I'm so going to shout at her for that later."

"Right, you added another person to your Winx club." He said, dramatically sighing "And here I am, years later, still not included."

"Move here to Beacon Hills and maybe we will include you." Lydia winked at him.

Just as she did this, the door of her room opened revealing a smiling Allison.

"You are late, young girl!" Lydia said sternly like an angered grandmother. Giving me the phone, I looked at Seb, both of us snickering lightly at the girl. I turned the camera around so that the boy would not lose any of the drama.

Allison smile faded slightly "Of five minutes, Lyds"

"Exactly, you are five minutes late." The harsh glare that the birthday girl sent our friend made Allison wince.

"Sorry" The Argent girl said a shyly smile

That was enough to make both Sebastian and I laugh. Our sounds mixing together. Lydia turned her glare at us while Allison looked very much confused. I turned the phone and camera around so that Allison could see the boy.

"Allison, this is Sebastian, my cousin." Lydia introduced the two

"Hello," Allison's bright smile returned to her face. "These two actually talked about you a lot."

"Just tell me something" Sebastian said seriously "You didn't take Stella's place, right?"

I slapped a hand over my lips to not laugh at the actually serious question from the boy. For years he had said he was the honorary Stella of our group, not that we never said otherwise.

"Uhm, no" Allison laughed slightly "Musa, actually"

Grinning slyly, Sebastian said "Good, good. So I didn't convince my mom to move just to have my place taken by the new girl."

"Wait what?!" Both Lydia and I shouted at the same time

"Yes, I'm moving to Beacon Hills for our Junior year girls." Sebastian announced

Harshly taking her phone back from my hand, Lydia glared at her cousin "And you didn't tell me that, why?"

"I was waiting for your birthday. So happy birthday cousin! I'll see you soon. Goodbye girls" The call ended with one last smile from him, not even giving us time to say anything back to the boy

"Oh! How I hate him" Lydia grumbled before she shook her head with a smile forming on her plump lips. "Alright! Let's get started!" She announced.

Turning around Lydia took three Macy's bags from her closet, lips stretched into a wide smile as she showed them to us.

"How many outfits do you plan on wearing tonight?" Allison asked eying the bags

"It's my birthday party." Lydia said as it was an obvious response. She took out the first dress. It was a thigh one that would cling to her body, made of stripes of black, white and different shades of gray. "I'm thinking host dress, evening dress, then after-hours casual."

"I noticed that you didn't send out any invites." Allison said confused

"Biggest party of the year, Allison." Lydia answered white taking out the other dresses from the bags "Everyone knows."

"I was wondering if maybe this year things, you know, might be different." The Argent girl said slightly hesitant

"Why would anything be different?" The strawberry blonde girl asked with confusion on her face. But I know that deep down, she was actually worried about it.

"Just 'cause things have been off lately. Things and people. Like Jackson."

I sent the hunter in training a wide-eyed look. Way to be subtle. I knew that Lydia now was aware of the supernatural, even if we didn't talk about it.

"What do you care about Jackson?" Lydia's face contorted in a mix of jealousy and suspiciousness.

"Do you know if he's coming tonight?" Allison asked. It was like watching a train wreck, to be honest.

"Everyone's coming." Lydia snapped. She took a calming breath before taking a pale rose colored dress of chiffon in her hands "This one's American Rag. Mmm, I love it. For me, not you." Then she swapped it for a flower print dress showing it to Allison "This one's Material Girl. That's for you." Then from the bag, she took out a black dress "And this one for you."

I grinned at her looking at the dress, it had a heart-shaped neckline, it was more tight on the upper part while the skirt remained more loose. The straps were just two pieces of elastic fabric that would rest on the arm.

"It's beautiful, thank you" I smiled at the girl

"I knew you would like it." As Lydia said that, Allison's phone started to ring.

"My mother" She huffed out slightly annoyed. She answered the phone, stepping a bit away so she could talk with her mother. As I helped Lydia choose which dress was for what part of the evening, I couldn't help but listen to Allison getting more and more annoyed with her mother until she hung up.

"Everything okay?" I asked

She rolled her eyes "Just my mom, don't worry. She wanted to know if we could talk before the party."

"Okay so the party begins at 10:00. The house is almost all decorated. We still have more than three hours but-" The strawberry blonde girl said "We should probably start getting ready!"

And that was how we spent the following hours. Joking around and laughing while we ate some instant ramen that we had quickly prepared. Accessorizing our outfits, doing each other's makeup and hair. Taking a hundred photos together. Until 9:45 arrived and we were ready to go down stairs to make the last finishing touch to the house ready for the party to begin.

───── ⋆⋅⋆｡ ﾟ☽𖦹☾ ﾟ｡⋆⋅⋆ ─────

╰┈˚ · ° .  Thirty minutes after the party was supposed to begin, the only people that were actually there were Scott, Stiles, Alec and of course Allison and I.

Alec was sitting on a chair on the back of the house near the pool with me standing between his thighs. He was wearing black slightly baggy jeans, black dress t-shirt and his leather jacket on. His hands were skimming up my fishnet clad thighs until they ended up my dress, fingers brushing near my ass before going down and repeating the motion again and again. A teasing light was prominted in his otherwise deep brown eyes, the end of his lips curled into a grin.

"You look stunning, little witch." He said. I wrapped my arms around his neck moving my face closer to his

"I am?" I asked with a cocky smile.

"Mmm" He hummed against my lips "You would look even more stunning with the dress on the floor of my bedroom, your fishnet shredded and you begging for my cock"

His dirty words were said low enough for just us to hear, whispered in my ear. My legs clenched together at the assault of arouse that came without a warning. A gasped lightly, regaining consciousness of where we were and for who. "Maybe later" I returned the grin on my lips. I kissed him, softly smiling into it. "C'mon" I stepped back from him, extending my hand for him to take. "Scott and Stiles are there. And Allison is coming too"

He smiled, standing on his feet while grabbing my hand before his arm sneaked around my shoulders and leaving a kiss on my temple.

"Uh, Jackson's not here." Allison said awkwardly looking at her boyfriend

"Yeah, no one's here." Stiles pointed out

"Maybe it's just early." Scott suggested

"No, it's not that. Last year we had people outside the door ringing the bell as soon as it turned 10:00." I sighed out bringing my hand to my face in discomfort

"Maybe nobody's coming because Lydia's turned into the town wack job." Stiles suggested

"Stiles be slightly more sympathetic. Aren't you the one that had a crush on her since third grade?" I snapped. Yes, Lydia was the town wack job since she disappeared for two days in the woods naked but still, she was my best friend. And I was pretty sure that it was because of my uncle that she actually turned like this.

"Well, we have to do something, because we've completely ignored her for the past two weeks." Allison said

"She's completely ignored Stiles the past ten years." Scott pointed out

"I prefer to think of it as me not having been on her radar yet." Stiles defended himself

"We don't owe her a party." Scott insisted, making me scoff at him.

"What about the chance to get back to normal?" Allison asked his boyfriend

Confused by his girlfriend's question, Scott asked "Normal?"

"She wouldn't be the town wack job if it wasn't for us. Or more so my uncle. I owe her at least this." I answered, getting frustrated.

The teen wolf turned towards me, his softened slightly "I guess I could use my co-captain status to get the lacrosse team here."

"Yeah, I also know some people who can get this thing going. Like, really going." Stiles added searching his pockets for his phone

"Who?" Allison asked confused

"I met them the other night. Let's just say they know how to party." The Stilinski boy said

A laugh spilled from Alec's lips "Oh, yes please." He said clapping the human on his shoulder, maybe with a little bit too much strength since Stiles almost fell forward on his face only to be held up by Scott "I can threaten people so they come here?" Alec turned towards me with a deranged smirk, definitely not a joke.

"There is no need for that yet" I grinned up at him "Maybe later" I added

"Alright then" Scott nodded his head.

It didn't take much for the house to fill up with people. From our high school, the lacrosse team and even drag queens, who Alec had explained where the people that Stiles had called. And as more people arrived, the full moon rose.

"How are you feeling?" I asked my boyfriend as we lightly swayed to the party music

"I'm fine" He answered sincerely. A small smile on his lips "What about you?"

"I'm okay." I replied. My eyes switched from looking at him to the full moon, frowning my forehead at feeling blooming in my chest the longer I looked at it

"What is it?" Alec asked, panicking a bit. "Ellie?" He forcefully turned my head from the light of the moon making me once again stare at his beautiful eyes.

"I don't know but..." I started before shaking my head in confusion and defeat "I don't know"

He sweetly kissed my lips "I'm here with you, amore. Promise"

"Promise?" I repeated hoping that he would say what I needed him to.

Alec brushed his nose against mine, humming lowly, the sound echoing in his chest "I just did"

I grinned slyly at him. "Jesus, we are so cheesy." I fake gagged

"Oh, yes. We are" He smirked "Wanna go upstairs and fuck until morning?"

I laughed at him, high pitched and completed with a not so gracefully snort "Do you always think about sex?"

"Most of the time" He shrugged his shoulders "Kind of impossible not to since you are my girlfriend." He winked at me, making me laugh even more.

"I'll be right back." I said once we had both calmed down. As he started to follow after me, I added "I need to go to the restroom and no, you can' come with me" I said, leaving a kiss under his jaw before making my way back inside quickly before he would actually follow me into the bathroom.

╰┈˚ · ° .  Lydia's birthday party had changed course from a disastrous beginning. The crowd was full on partying, drinking and dancing. I looked as Elizbeth quickly maneuvered out the way of people before disappearing back inside the house. I don't think there will ever be a day when having her near me will not make my heart squeeze almost painfully in my chest. From all the things that I loved about her, the way she smiles, that damn smile– the one reserved only for me where I literally feel her love bleeding from it– would definitely take the cake alongside the look in her eyes whenever she would fight me. I raised my eyes to the moon, full in the night sky. For all my life I wished to feel the connection with it, for it to guid me like normal werewolves and not curse me to the darkness. It always felt like a missing limb. Having that connection was what I wanted the most in my life... until her. Elizabeth had crawled her way inside my heart, my soul, my entire being. The moon wasn't so essential to me anymore, not like she was.

"Hey you." It was the voice of Lydia Martin that brought me out of my thoughts. "Where is my best friend ?" She asked, the words best friend coming more as a challenge.

"My girlfriend-" I said making sure to spell out the words clearly, to which the girl smiled teasingly "Is upstairs. She needed to go to the bathroom."

"And you didn't follow after her? Weird" She commented with a knowing glint in her green eyes.

"She actually said I couldn't follow her" I rolled my eyes "I'm sure she would've spelled me to not move until she returned if I dared to make a step" I added knowing that Lydia was already aware of the supernatural words

"She so would've done that." Lydia extended the tray with glasses filled with a peach colored punch "Take it. It's really good." Giving me one of the glasses before she took off.

I started to sip the punch until I drowned it in one go. It was actually very good. It didn't take me much to have it refilled with new liquid. Sip after sip and glass after glass until the world started distorting in front of my eyes. My vision was blurry and the music disappeared. And in front of me a circle of people dressed all in black with weapons ready in their hands. They varied from knives to guns to rifles. I could hear the cries of a woman coming from the inside of the circle.

"Please!" The woman begged through her sobs. Her voice familiar to me even after years of not hearing it. My mother.

"Move! Move!" I yelled, shoving away the black dressed people, faceless people. I don't even know how long it took me to arrive at the center of the circle, tears falling from my eyes "Mom" I whimpered as her battered and bleeding body laid on the cold ground. Her chest unmoving, her eyes lacking any sparks of life.

"You didn't protect me, Alessandro. You are a waste of space. Even your father preferred to live as a wolf than stay with you. No one will ever love you." Words filled with venom fell from her blue lifeless lips. Each word feeling like being shot in the chest

"No- it-its" I couldn't even form proper words, continuing to stutter

"It's not true?" She asked, laughing with derision. It wasn't the sweet loving sound that I remembered. This was nothing like the Sarah Di Luna that I knew, she wasn't my mother. But she is... "You are unlovable"

And she is right. Maybe I am really unlovable.

╰┈˚ · ° .  I had been away for less than five minutes but when I arrived back, it was like I was attending a completely different party. People were drunk, laughing, crying. People were completely out of their mind. I could feel it. Something was wrong. Very wrong.

Alec.

He was the first person that I thought, my only thought. I runned, shoving my way through the drunk, or something more, crowd going to the place where I last saw him. And he wasn't there.

My chest started to hurt and my breathing accelerated. I was on the verge of losing control, the full moon not helping in the slightest. I looked at the sky, the moon staring right back at me. I felt my eyes glowing "Alpha, Beta, Omega" I said repeating the mantra under my breath. Once, twice, three times until my eyes were not of bright golden shade but my normal emerald green eyes.

Alec. I needed to find him.

His scent was familiar to me, almost carved in my mind. I followed until the outside seats were. He was slumped on an armchair, eyes closed and I could feel the distress oozing off him.

"Alec!" I shouted wide-eyed. He couldn't get drunk so that was out of the question. The breeze that followed my shout, whispered words in my ears. Words I couldn't understand. "Alec, wake up, love. Please" I cupped his cheeks, shaking his head. "Wake up!" Shaking his body, slapping him. Nothing worked. I started to panic once tears started to stream from his closed lids. "Please, love" The wind continued to murmur in my ear louder and louder. "I can't understand you!" I yelled trying to suppress the sob that had formed in my chest.

And silence, or at least that it was what seemed to me. The music was not so loud anymore, and people were just soft whispers. My eyes landed on the glass of punch still half filled in Alec's hand. A glass that most everyone at the party had in their hands. Taking it from Alec's hand, I instinctively sniffed it. Wolfsbane. The smell was unmistakable. The people weren't drunk, they were poisoned.

I placed the glass on the floor before placing both my hands on my boyfriend's cheeks. Magic swirling my veins as I called nature to aid me. I sent a wave of it through the shadow wolf's body hoping that it would work.

With a start, Alec immediately woke up. His breath heavy, eyes filled with tears that then fell to his cheeks.

"Shhh, It's okay now. You are okay." I softly said, trying to calm him down. He looked at me and a sob broke from his chest. I wrapped my arms around him, brushing my fingers through his curly hair and whispering sweet nothing into his ear until his hands both forcefully moved me away from him.

"I need you to be honest with me, alright?" He said, voice hard "Do you really love me?"

"What are you talking about?" I asked confused

"Answer me" He snapped with a growl. "Beacuse right now I'm pretty sure that you are just fucking around with me."

I gritted my teeth, my hand grabbing his chin harshly "I love you, Alec. Never, for even a second think otherwise." I tried as hard as I could to not let my emotion show, to be strong for him, but at the end my voice cracked slightly as I said "I love you so much that it scared me half of the time. I know that I love you, and tomorrow I will love you even more. Please don't doubt it because trust me, I never wanted to care for someone else after the fire. I was content with Lydia and my grandmother. And then Allison came and even those two stupids and irresponsible idiots that I totally want to beat half to death most of the time. You came and you made me care for you, love you, so yes Alec. I fucking love you. Is this enough for you to lose any doubts or I need to say more because I totally can-"

His lips crushed with mine in a war of love and pain, and sadness and joy.

"I don't know what happened after you drank the punch but it was poisoned with wolfsbane" I said after we broke apart

"Wolfsbane?" Alec asked with wide eyes

"Yes" I said using the pad of both my thumbs to brush away his tears. "Do you want to tell me what happened to you?"

He hesitated slightly before huffing out a breath making sure to sit me on his lap "I saw my mother" He said quietly, his fingers playing with the end of my hair "She said some unpleasant things"

"It wasn't your mother. It was you being poisoned by the wolfsbane. And the things that the vision said were not true. I don't even need to know what it said to know that, alright?" I inched my face closer to his "I love you"

He sighed out another breath "Ti amo" [I love you] "We will talk about it more later, but now we need to find the others."

"Yes, you are right" I extended my hand for him to take. He intertwined our fingers together and we started to search for the others.

We found Scott trying to wake up Stiles, of course the human was not responding to anything that his best friend was trying. "Scott! Are you okay?" I asked

"Yeah, yeah" He nodded, even a little unconvincing "Stiles, not so much. Are you okay?"

"Now? Yes" Alec answered

I stepped closer to Stiles, hand touching his temples doing the same trick I did with my boyfriend, and just like Alec, Stiles woke up all of a sudden.

"What the–" He shouted

"It's the punch. We need to find the Lydia and Allison" I said "Let's go"

───── ⋆⋅⋆｡ ﾟ☽𖦹☾ ﾟ｡⋆⋅⋆ ─────

╰┈˚ · ° .  "Hey, I can't find Lydia." Stiles said after him, Scott, Alec and I rounded together again after searching the house for the two girls.

"Us neither" I told the two best friends. Alec had not left my side for even a second. Whatever his 'mother' had told him had really freaked him out. "Allison sended me a message saying that she had an emergency at home."

"Anyone who drank that crap, they're freaking out." Stiles said

"I can see that." Scott replied as people started to jump in the pool.

"What the hell do we do?" Stiles asked

"I don't know"

"Don't look at me" Alec commented when the two best friends looked at him. Now the three of them turned towards me

"Sorry, I'm lacking any ideas right now" I rolled my eyes

"I can't swim! No, no, no, stop, guys!" Someone shouted loud enough to be heard over the crowd. Matt. "I can't swim! I can't swim! I can't... I can't..." He was literally drowning until Jackson, the most selfish person ever, dragged him out of the pool. "What are you looking at?" Matt angrily said, his hair, clothes, everything drenched in water, glaring as he passed us on his way outside.

The police siren started to wail closer and closer to the house and the party but that was the last of our thoughts.

"The cops are here. Party's over!" Someone yelled. All the people at the party suddenly rushed out of the Martin's house.

"Let's go" I said and that is how Scott, Stiles, Alec and I found ourselves outside Lydia's home watching a very angry Matt glaring at us, and Jackson, fully transformed into the Kanima crouched at his feet, his tail wrapped around Matt's legs. As if to protect him, because he was his master. Matt Daehler was the Master and Jackson was the Kanima. His own personal weapon of destruction and vengeance.
