~Several months later~

The soft clicking of my heels below me began to quickly mix with the heavy sounds of traffic and cars driving nearby.

I turned back around to face the security man at the door of the Sinema nightclub. "Oh fuck you!" I yelled, leaning against a tree as a result of my wobbling feet. "It's not like I wasn't your number one customer! Good luck finding someone else!" I cried, walking away.

I took a deep breath and found my head beginning to spin in circles. I chuckled to myself and smiled at the cars passing by. I don't live too far from here, I mean I guess I could make it.

I held my purse closer to my body and proceeded to walk faster, but my legs soon failed me, causing me to fall down. I leaned over to take off one of my heels and placed it on the ground. Taking off my other shoe, I grabbed them both and tried to stand up. My head began pounding more.

"Ahh you stupid head." I slapped my head and frowned. "Once I get back home I promise I'll get some rest. You just wait." I patted my head and stumbled again. A few people passed by me once in a while and when they did, they would give me these looks as if I were insane.

Out of a sudden, the phone in my pocket began buzzing loudly, scaring the shit out of me. I took it out and looked at the caller id: Unknown.

I answered the call, blowing the hair out of my face. "Hello?"

"Athena we need your help." The voice said on the other line. Some faint growls could be heard in the background.

"What? Who is this?" I looked at the caller id again. Did I really think a name would just magically appear out of nowhere?

"It's Hayden."

"I don't care. Bye." I was about to hang up until someone interrupted.

"Wait. Athena." It was a different voice this time. A male's.

"What?" I growled.

"It's Liam. We need you right now." He paused for a second. "You're the only one who can control Theo."

Hearing that name again made me freeze, causing my phone to slip out of my hands and onto the grass.

"Athena? Athena are you there?" Liam's voice faded away from my mind.

/

"Liam, what's going on? This better be-" I froze in my tracks when I saw a figure standing with its back to me.

"T-Theo?" My feet were beginning to feel numb again.

The figure turned around, and sure enough it was him. A shit ton of emotions were going through my head all at once. I ran as fast as I could in his direction and tackled him to the floor, causing a groan to escape his lips.

Our faces were only a few inches apart, but before he could say anything, I raised my hand and smacked him across the face.

"W-" He tried to say something, but I didn't let him finish, rewarding him with a punch to his jaw. Followed by another. And another. And another.

He leaned his head to the side and spat out some blood. I furrowed my eyebrows at his response.

"Missed me?" He chuckled.

"I'm not done." I raised my arm ready to strike again, but this time he caught it. Catching me off guard, he got up and pinned me to the wall.

"Did you miss me that much?" He held on to my arms, preventing me from beating the shit out of him.

Let me just get straight to the point and say, whew did this man get hotter. It's been quite a while since I last saw him. His hair got a bit longer and his chest? Damn the chest.

"You look rather...dashing." I flashed a smile, revealing my teeth.

"You look great too, blondie." He took a strand of my recently dyed hair and curled it around his finger. A small smile formed on my lips when he called me that.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Ignore the fact that I almost went insane for the last couple of months because of you."

"Oh so you did miss me that much?" He chuckled and took a step back, releasing my arms.

"I won't go into details, but sure maybe I did miss you a little."

"And I see you took that literally when I told you you could punch me if things didn't go the right way."

I laughed, "Well now that you remind me." I quickly turned to face Liam and Hayden, who were chatting in the corner. "So now where's this controlling I'm supposed to do?"

"I..uh..well. Since you came, he's acting normal now and not attacking us, so thanks." Liam said, glancing at Theo.

"Hey Blondie?"

I turned my head in Theo's direction and narrowed my eyes.

"What are you so..dressed up for?" His eyes trailed down my body then back up to my eyes.

I looked down and noticed I still was wearing my nearly skin-tight leather pants matched with a loose tucked-in blouse that just began to slip off my shoulder.

"Oh, this. I was actually out before I..you know, got the call." I looked back up at Theo, kicking my heel against the hard floor.

"You're not much of a party girl." He smirked.

"Well I wasn't. Much has changed though. But I kinda just got kicked out from the Sinema so. There goes the partying." I crossed my arms against my chest.

Liam cleared his throat from behind before finally approaching us. "Sorry to interrupt, but we have to get going."

~McCall House~

"It's okay. You don't have to stop."

"Trust me, I won't." Malia replied furiously to Theo and resumed to walk around .

"Malia, enough!" Scott scolded her. "Slow down, okay? He's going back into the ground."

"You can't. He remembers Stiles." Liam said.

Malia furiously looked around. "Scott remembers Stiles. Lydia and I remember Stiles."

"The Dread Doctors knew all about the Wild Hunt." Liam responded, "He can help us."

"Or, he could kill us." Scott looked over at Theo.

"Hey, how about you guys listen to the kid. He has a point." I suggested, pointing at Liam.

"He's my responsibility. Noshiko gave me the sword."

Theo sighed. "It's so awkward when Mom and Dad fight."

Liam, Malia, and Scott simultaneously turned to face him, "Shut up!"

"You both are right." Hayden began, "If Theo tries anything, we'll send him back to the Skinwalkers. But, for right now-"

Scott shook his head. "He goes back now."

"Except Liam's the one with the sword." Theo looked at them.

"Shut up!" They shouted at him once again.

I turned to Theo and glared at him. "It's like you're asking to get killed. Quit talking."

Scott grabbed Liam by the wrist and led him out of the room to talk, leaving the four of us alone.

Malia began walking closer towards Theo until Hayden stepped in between them.

"Malia."

"Can you give me a second alone with Theo?"

"Why?"

"So I can kill him."

Her response caused me to bare my fangs and growl at her. Theo grabbed my shoulder and gently pulled me back, preventing me from doing anything stupid.

"Okay, look. I know that there's mixed feelings all around, but I might be your only option to stop the Wild Hunt."

"Let's kill him." Malia suggested.

"Like hell you will." I snarled, inching closer. "You guys trust me at least, right?" I turned to face the rest of the pack.

Silence

"Okay, now. Let's all not answer at once." I slapped my thighs.

"See, we would. But considering the fact that you would maul us to protect your Alpha, we don't." Malia frowned.

"Do you not trust me?" Liam asked, facing Scott as they reentered the room.

"I don't trust him." He looked in Theo's direction. "Do you?"

"No.." Liam hesistated. "But I think we can use him."

"Remember who he is. He got into your head and you tried to kill me. And when that didn't work, he did kill me. And Tracy..And Josh..And his sister."

"Okay calm down there Scotty. No one's getting killed this time. I'll make sure of that." I reassured him.

"What are you going to do, control him?" Malia crossed her arms.

"I may." I stepped closer towards her, inches away from her face. "But if I were you, I'd keep a distance from him. Unless, of course you would like your intestines ripped out of your body and-"

"Okay, okay. I think she get's the point." Theo stepped forward again and pulled me back by the arm, away from Malia.

"He might be our only chance to get Stiles back." Liam said.

"Can't we just try to find somebody that we at least trust?"

"This might be a mistake, but you don't know that yet. And you made mistakes when you were learning to be an Alpha."

"Yeah, I made a lot." Scott glanced at Liam. "But we don't have time for mistakes. I can't lose Stiles."

"So, we should try anything we can to save him, right? Even Theo."

Scott sighed, "Convince me."

Liam turned to face Theo. "I can put you back in the ground any time."

"You also need a transformer that can handle five billion joules of electricity. I know where to find one, and I can show you how it works. I'll tell you if Malia promises not to kill me." Theo said, looking at Malia for a response.

Malia growled, earning one from me as well.

"She promises." Lydia answered for the werecoyote.

Malia groaned, "No, I don't! We're really gonna do this? Trust him?"

"You got a better idea?" Hayden asked.

"I've got an idea. It may not be better, but at least it's not him."
