Soulmate Of A True Alpha
Scene 23

We’re finally out of the hospital. It was rather complicated to get Scott, who had been dead for 45 minutes, to … Alive and well…

Scott: Hannah, are you getting on my bike?

Me: No. I think I’m so tired I might fall asleep and fall off the bike, so I’ll ride with Mum instead.

He laughs and nods.

At home

I go straight upstairs to bed after giving my brother and my mum a k**s, but as I walk past my brother’s room, I see Stiles and I talking again and I smile. I go upstairs and slip into my blankets but the second I close my eyes, all I can think about is all the feelings I have for Stiles and how it seems like I’ll never be able to take the time to talk to him about them. It reminds me of something my dad said to me after my first botched date when I said I didn’t have time for it anyway. He said “When you think you haven’t got time for something, you’ve got to make the time before it’s too late” and he was right. I get out of bed and put on a simple pair of jeans and a jumper and go and get my mum’s car keys before driving to the front of his house and sending a message.

[Me: I’m outside your house, will you open the door for me?]

The response is almost immediate

[Stiles: Give me two minutes]

After two minutes the door opens and Stiles lets me in.

Stiles: My dad’s working late tonight, he won’t be home until two in the morning.

I nod and we go up to his room and I look at the paintings covered with inscriptions and photos. All relating to the benefactor and the murders and… Me?

Me: Why do you have information about ancient female warriors?

Stiles: Oh sa?

He picks up the sheet and takes a long look at it.

Stiles: I.. I was looking for something to… Help you control your… Power…

Caught up in a surge of love, I cling to him and place my lips on his. He responds immediately to my k**s and I smile against his lips. It’s so much better than the time when I wasn’t fully conscious! His hands come to rest on my reeds and mine in his messy hair that I love so much. Nothing matters to me in that brief moment. Not even the murders, my uncontrollable powers, the benefactor. Nothing. We peel each other off breathlessly and he strokes my cheek.

Stiles: I never want to let you go again…

I smile

Me: You could invite me to sleep at your place, smartass.

He smiles

Stiles: That’s right, Hannah McCall, do you want to stay over?

I smile and pretend to think

Me: Mmh… I think I’m going to have to say yes.

We both smile, my cheek hurts from smiling so much, I’m so happy!

During the night

I wake up because Stiles keeps moving next to me

Me: What are you doing?

Stiles: I usually sleep in the middle…

Me: Let’s spoon then

He settles himself next to me and I put my head on his arm but he takes off as I start to fall back asleep.

Stiles: Sorry, my arm’s tingling!

I gasp to sleep but he speaks again

Stiles: I don’t like it when our backs are to each other…

I growl

Me: I’m going to kill you Stilinskie!

Stiles: Sorry

Me: Come here you

He moves to the centre of the bed and I slide into his arms, resting my head on his neck.

Me: Are you there?

Stiles: Shhh! I want to sleep…

I laugh softly and close my eyes to go back to sleep, but I suddenly wake up and jump out of bed without meaning to and realise what’s happening. My powers! I’m going to be uncontrollable again!

Me: Stiles the morphine!

Stiles: What?

My claws grow along my fingernails and my headache returns.

Me: Morphine! Hurry up!

I’m screaming because the pain is so strong and my eyes are burning because I can feel the anger of the ancient warrior inside me wanting to explode. He gets up and comes to stand next to me, but I step back and slam into the corner of his room. Stiles’s dad comes into the room and looks at us both without understanding what’s going on and I push him out of the room more violently than I would have liked and close it to stop him getting in again.

Me: Stiles, hurry up!

My head is screaming at me to kill him but the rest of my body isn’t moving and it’s making my headache worse.

Stiles: No, I’m not giving it to you.

Me: Stiles! This is really not the time to piss me off! Give me the f*****g morphine!

Stiles: No, I’m not giving it to you. You have to control yourself now or you’ll never make it. Your powers may be harder to handle, but your self-control is the same as a werewolf. You’ve got to replace something to calm you down whether it’s an emotion or a person but replace something

Something that calms me… My pack… I don’t want to hurt them… Scott , Kira , Stiles ,Liam , Allison and Lydia … They’re my family and I’d never forgive myself if anything happened to them. My claws dig into my skin and the pain disappears. I breathe and let myself fall to the ground. Stiles comes next to me and I signal to him that I’m okay.

Stiles: You did it.

I smile. I managed to control myself! I jump into his arms and laugh.

Mr Stilinskie: Can I go home now?

Oh my god! I’d forgotten all about it! I throw myself at the door to open it for him and luckily he’s fine. I’ve rarely seen him since he’s been back in Beaconhills because he works so much. I smile and jump into his arms.

Noah: Hannah! At last I can see you! I’ve been wanting you to come home for so long! I’ve missed you Rosie

I remember him calling me that back then because I’d come to his house with a head full of roses thinking it would make me look pretty. I wanted to look pretty for Stiles but it was a royal flop. I laughed as I thought about it and he put me down.

Me: I missed you too, Noah, sorry I didn’t come and see you before.

Noah: That’s all right, darling.

I smile and Stiles comes and stands in front of us.

Stiles: That’s very sweet, but I’d like to go back to sleep with my girlfriend!

Noah: Your girlfriend? You’re going out?

My cheeks are turning as red as a tomato. Thanks Stiles for being so discreet!
