╰┈˚ · ° .  THE TENSION WAS HIGH IN THE HOUSE. While Melissa stayed with her son upstairs, trying to help Mr. McCall that had been wounded by the creatures, the rest of us remained on the ground floor. Everyone was on high alert, looking through the windows and door where the creatures stayed, looking inside, unmoving.

"Did you have a great nap?" I asked my boyfriend amusedly as I ran my fingers through his hair.

"Couldn't you stay with me?" Alec said in a tone slightly above a whisper, sighing in confort from my action. "I hate waking up without you." He was sitting on a chair in the kitchen but he had pulled me between his legs. His head was on my stomach, arms wrapped around my thigh lazily and eyes closed.

"You are clingy." I chuckled.

"And you love it." He looked up to say that, a grin curving his mouth.

I smiled down at him, loving the moments when he was that calm as much as when he was his psychotic self. My hands left his hair to cup his cheeks until I had to only lean down to kiss his lips.

"No making out." Derek's stern voice pierced through the bubble that Alec and I had created between us.

"You are no fun." Alec grumbled before relaxing his head once again on my stomach.

I looked up at my cousin, grinning widely as I met his gaze, to which he rolled his blue eyes at me— his own too similar to mine.

Alec's chest rumbled lightly, and when I arched an eyebrow down at him, he pushed my hand back into his curly hair.

"Shouldn't we be a bit more worried?" Kira's voice was tight with weariness and fear as she said that. She shifted her gaze towards Alec for a split second— probably wondering what the fuck was wrong with him to want cuddle in the middle of this— before she looked at me.

I smirked at the girl, "All the baseboards in the house are made with ash wood and the powder at the front door, that's Mountain ash. They both came from the Mountain ash tree. The wood and its ashes. They are a protection against the supernatural." I nodded my head towards the darkness-made creatures. "They can't cross it. Meaning they can't get in. And with them, you all can't too."

"And you can?" Kira asked, confused.

I hummed under my breath. "We did not get the time for a proper introduction, and a supernatural one." I motioned to my cousin with my hand, "This is Derek Hale, ex-alpha, now just a very powerful beta, and my cousin."

"Unfortunately." He scoffed when I said that he was my cousin.

Ignoring him, I continued. "The twins, Ethan and Aiden. They used to be alphas too and they would merge in this one gigantic super-alpha, now they are a pathetic excuse of what they were and omegas."

"You are kind of a bitch, you know." Aiden said.

Ignoring him too, I continued again with my conversation. "Alec, here-" I nodded my head down at him. "Is a shadow wolf. Explained more simply, one of his ancestors got cursed by a witch blocking their connection to the moon and binding him to its shadow."

"And guess who was the line of witches that cursed my ancestors?" Alec said with a bitter, slightly amused chuckle.

I guess he is still holding a grudge for that.

"Werewolf can be bitten or born. Scott was actually human before my uncle bit him. He was a beta, and then a few weeks ago he turned into an alpha. All on his own, without having to kill for his power. He is what is called a true alpha. Very rare. Then there is Isaac, the tall one that loves to wear scarfs. He was Derek's beta before he joined Scott's pack. Lydia, on the other hand, after being bitten by an alpha, her supernatural gene got activated. She is a banshee, someone with a connection with the supernatural. Sometimes they are called harbingers of death because they can predict death." As I spoke, I could see both the confusion and curiosity in Kira's eyes, that is what made me continue. "Allison is a hunter. She came from an old family of werewolves hunters, but now she is more hunting people who want to kill us then really us. Stiles, Sebastian and Allison are human, but nevertheless still part of the pack."

"And you?" The girl asked.

"I left the best for last, of course." I said earning the scoff from the other men in the room. "I'm a hybrid. I come from two supernatural lines. Werewolf and witch, I'm both. Witches are blessed with their powers from Mother Nature itself. We are her daughters. And because of that, I'm the only one in this house, apart from Scott's parents, that can get out and pass the mountain ash circle."

Kira furrowed her eyebrows, stepping towards the back door in the kitchen. She raised her arm and cautiously moved it forwards until the protection of the Mountain ash tree was activated, emanating a purple glow and pushing her hand away.

I smirked at that, "As I said. You all can't cross it."

"Are you going to tell us what you are?" Aiden said, looking down at the girl.

"What? What do you mean?" Kira stuttered, getting more afraid.

"Aiden..." Ethan sighed as he watched his brother.

"Watch!" The other twin said, once again showing us how her hand couldn't cross the mountain ash. "See that? She can't go through it either. So, what are you?"

"She's a Kitsune, idiot." Derek said. "Use your eyes. You can see it all around her. The younger ones give off an aura. She just hasn't learned

how to conceal it yet. She probably doesn't know what kind she is either."

My eyes glowed bright gold, and as Derek had said, the aura of a fox made of fire covered the girl.

"Well damn." I chuckled, stepping away from Alec— ignoring his grumble of protest, I stepped towards her, taking her hand. Magic coursed through my veins coming in contact with her own aura. I even see it with my werewolf eyes how the fox shifted sensing it.

"What is she doing?" I heard Ethan ask out loud.

"Who knows. Witches are weird." It was Alec that said that. I could recognize his voice everywhere. And still my focus didn't falter.

The whisper of the fox was so soft that I had almost lost it. It had said it in Japanese but the thunder echoing in my ears and the little sparks of electricity coursing through my body were an enough translation.

"Thank you." I whispered back to it.

Kira gasped when my hand left hers. "What did you do?" She asked.

"Thunder." I said with a wide smirk. "She is a Thunder Kitsune."

"How do you know?" She asked, gulping down.

"Don't ask." Alec grinned as he yanked me back to him. "You will only get more confused."

╰┈˚ · ° .  Hours passed before something else started to happen. The supernatural creatures outside the Mountain ash barrier had now their swords in hands, bashing the hilt into it testing its strengths actually making the house tremble.

"What are they doing?" Scott asked as he and Kira both came back into the kitchen.

"Testing for weaknesses." Alec said, suddenly serious as we all watched attentively how they restlessly used their swords on the barrier. "They are trying to find a spot where they can force their way in."

Plates cluttered to the ground, the ceramics breakin, the chandelier swinging above the table with each hit. And when after multiple times they striked the part of the back door, the barrier started to falter.

"Guys?" Aiden called. The swords of two darkness creatures were already starting to pierce the mountain ash. "We have a problem."

"Scott, call Allison. See if she found anything about them" I said to the Alpha as they started to group around the soft spot.

"What are you doing, little witch?" Alec asked as I stepped before the door. His tone was part curiosity and part fear and anxiousness as he spoke.

"Whatever I can to delay the inevitable." I spoke as I gathered my magic. "Stay back." I whispered to him.

He nodded his head in a short nod, kissing my temple before stepping back.

Feeling the ash wood and mountain ash barrier was easy enough, and as the house trembled once again as the sword pierced through, my magic was there to create another barrier, reinforcing the already existing one sending the two creatures flying back. But it didn't last because as soon as they fell, they were once again back on their feet repeating the motions once more.

Minutes passed, a thin layer of sweat began to form on the skin of my forehead. "I can't keep it up much longer!" I shouted through the strain.

"Drop it." Scott said.

My focus almost faltered for a second after I heard his words.

"What?"

"Drop it, Lizzie. Trust me."

And I trusted him. So I called back my magic, stumbling a couple of steps until Alec was right there to help me.

"Don't do anything." Scott told the other as the creature, one after the other walked in. But they did nothing, they observed, waited.

And it wasn't until Scott, hand in hand with Kira stepped forwards that they moved. Two of them faced against the true alpha and kitsune, yellow eyes glowing from underneath the mask stared down at two teens. Almost as if piercing their souls with their gaze. Second stretched to almost feel like minutes, and when Scott and Kira were on their knees— feeling the effect of whatever power they had— the two creatures left the marks behind their ears, exactly like the one that everyone else in the room had branded now behind their ears. And then, only then did they leave, dematerializing himself in a cloud of shadows.

And I could breathe properly once again, when I felt both the heartbeats of the two on the floor.

"You did good, little witch." Alec whispered as I relaxed into his embrace.

───── ⋆⋅⋆｡ ﾟ☽𖦹☾ ﾟ｡⋆⋅⋆ ─────

╰┈˚ · ° .  "They are called Oni." Alec said as he brushed his fingers up and down my exposed back.

The bed was warm with our shared heat as we laid there, skin bared to the other underneath the thin charcoal gray sheet.

"Japanese demons. They are searching for someone with a dark spirit attached to them. Allison called it a Nogitsune."

"Like someone that is possessed?" I asked, raising my head from his chest.

"I guess." He replied before chuckling lightly.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked confused.

"Noghting, nothing." He replied, his chuckle now turning into multiple.

"Tell me." I demanded, narrowing my eyes down. "Alec!"

He started to laugh, loudly and hard. His abs flexing underneath my hand.

"Oh come on, tell me!" I glared harsher as his laugh augmented even more.

He was getting on my nerves. I straddled his waist, pinning his arm up, lowering my face to his, the laugh quickly came to a stop when his eyes darted to my eyes, lips and then lower to my exposed breasts.

"Do you want to go for another round, little witch?" he asked with his unhinged grin on his lips. "I'm more than up for it. You don't seem tired enough."

"No." Then I thought about it for a second and I corrected myself. "Later. Tell me why you were laughing."

His grin widened, he came forward to nip at my jaw and lips and before it could turn into more, I fortunately was able to yank myself away, not yet too far gone to the lust.

"So?" I asked with a challenging tone.

"For a second you looked like a puppy there with your cute expression, tilted head and scrunched up nose." He bit his lips containing the chuckle that wanted to come out, "And then I realized that you are more similar to a feral wolf than a puppy."

"Are you kidding me? Your humor is more broken than I realized." I scoffed trying to get off of him.

Keyword was trying because as I leaned back, letting go of his arms, Alec steeled me back against him.

I could feel his cock, hot and hard as steel underneath me, and as he shifted slightly, grinding to me, my mouth opened slightly releasing the slightest moan.

"Alec."

"Ride me, little witch." He said. His tone grave and filled with lust, making my blood boil. He shifted until his cock, inch by inch, in a torturous slow pace slided into me. "Let me see how desperate you are for me."

His hands slithered up my tights, cupping my ass as I moved up and down, grinding myself on him as he bottomed in.

"You look gorgeous taking my dick." he whispered through clenched teeth as he used his thumb to rub circles on my clit. "Like it was made only for you."

My pace increased to his words, and when my eyes caught his— filled with so much lust that they had bleed to black— I could feel myself reach my orgasm.

"I'm gonna come." I said through pants, making Alec take his hand away from my clit, joining the other as he grabbed my hips. I almost cried in protest at the loss of the stimulation, but soon, an even louder moan fell from my lips as he used his strength to thrust inside of me. Lost to the lust, it was soon that we both reached our pick. I clenched around him, screaming through my orgasm bringing him with me as I milked his cock.

I fell forward against him, spent from the mindshattering orgarms. The third of the night.

"Fuck." Alec mumbled as he tried to normalize his breath.

"Yeah, fuck." I mumbled back, words muffled by his skin.

His chuckle reached my ears, and with the last energies that I had left, I managed to lift my head to look at him.

His lips stole mine for a kiss. Soft, not rushed, but all the same it made my heart stutter. I let out a whine that was silenced from his lips as I felt him slip out of me.

"Come on." He whispered against my lips, "I need to clean you up."

He had enough strength left to walk to the bathroom and come back with a clean wet towel, passing it between my legs to clean me and himself up. But as he came back to bed, he almost collapsed.

"Maybe three times in a row after fighting Japanese demons two times and sleeping for only two hours was not the best idea." I said, trying to mask my amusement.

"It was." Alec denied. "Now sleep, Amore." [Love]

"So I can't tell you that I love you?" I asked knowing really well what was going to be his answer.

"Like I would ever stop you from saying that." He scoffed, titling my head back to look at him. He waited a second, and when I did not speak, he raised an eyebrow. "So?"

I laughed softly at his eager expression. Alec could hear me saying it forever and never getting tired of it. Whenever those words would leave my mouth, his eyes always lit up.

"I love you." I said, meaning every word from the deepest parts of my soul.

"Ed io amo te." He replied in his native tongue. [And I love you.]

He always says that telling it in Italian gave the words much more meaning to them. He felt them to the fullest when he said them in his native language. That was why he always tried to say it in italian.

It made me fall in love with him even more— if it was possible— when he had told me that.

Loving him was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

Hello everyone!!

The spice in this chapter was definitely not planned. The chapter was too short without the last part, and still I did not want to write it. It literally wrote itself alone, I swear.

But let me know anyway how it was. Dare I say it? I really liked it.

English is not my first language, I'm actually Italian, and saying something in English has definitely less meaning then when I say it in italian.

Alec saying I love you almost always in italian was something that I had planned from the beginning.

Elizabeth introducing everyone was so fun to write, lmaoo. I hope you liked it!

Anyways, thank you for reading this chapter, I'll see you on Thursday!
