Soulmate Of A True Alpha
Scene 21

Pdv Hannah

I wake up in my brother’s arms and frown before getting up. It takes me a few minutes to remember yesterday and I put my hands to my mouth. I… I ran into the woods ready to kill anyone in my path and… I kissed Stiles! Oh, my God!

Me: Scott, wake up!

Scott: Hannah… Can you please go back to sleep? We’ve been chasing you all night, so go to sleep!

I sigh in annoyance

Me: But/

Scott: Sleep!

I grunt and go back to my room but Stiles is asleep inside. He’s holding my blanket close to him and his face is so calm and soothing that I smile. I close the bedroom door slowly so as not to wake him and go down to the living room to lie on the sofa. I grab a thick blanket and wrap myself in it before drifting back to sleep and the only thing floating in my mind was Stiles’ sweet face pressed against mine.

The day after

I go into the kitchen to get a bowl of cereal but Stiles is already at the oven cooking eggs and bacon.

Me: Since when have you been getting up early, Stilinskie?

He’s startled and turns to me, hiding his flushed cheeks. I do my best to hide mine and not jump on him and k**s him like I did last night.

Stiles: With the night you had… I wanted to buy you a… Lunch… Cool. Here you go

I smile and give her a k**s on the cheek.

Me: That’s so cute!

He blushes and we help ourselves to lunch. I think that thanks to him, I’m better able to deal with this ancient warrior thing. Scott joins us and pours himself a cup of coffee, mumbling to himself.

Me: Good morning

Scott: Mmmh

Stiles: Early morning cub!

Scott gives him a dark look and I laugh.

Me: I’m going to get ready, try not to fall asleep on your plate McCall!

I go up to my room and get dressed, but strangely I feel different from yesterday. More… Confident. It must be an ancient warrior thing or something, but I like it. I go back down to the kitchen and the boys are ready too.

Me: Scott, do you mind if I come upstairs with you?

He seems surprised by my request.

Scott: No, but I thought you preferred the Jeep.

Me: That’s just it, I want to stop being afraid of everything.

Scott: Okay! Come on, get in!

I smile and get on the back of the bike. Stiles takes off in the opposite direction to us because he had to go home to change. We get to the school and I get jumped on by two hysterical crazies.

Lydia: Hannah McCall! What kind of idea was that not to answer our texts and calls! We were so worried!

Alison: At least Scott was there to warn us! We’ve been stressing all night!

I growl. If I couldn’t answer their f*****g messages, it was for a good reason, wasn’t it?

Me: Exactly! If Scott warned you, don’t you understand that I didn’t have time to reassure you ?!!? Think about me a bit too!

I leave without giving them time to talk, but I hear Lydia mumble something.

Allison: Stop it, Lydia, I know she’s been tough, but Scott warned us she might be different the next few days, but she won’t be responsible, it’s because of this ancient warrior thing, she’s not doing it on purpose.

Lydia: Yes… You’re right… But I’m worried about her.

Allison: Me too, but everything’s fine, come on, Deaton says it’s just temporary.

I stop dead in my tracks and realise the situation. They were just worried about me and I told them off. I can’t wait for this to stop…
