Chapter 22
"Who Are You Really?"

Later on that day, Scott had met up with Derek. Derek walked out of his house, where they agreed to meet up. He had his hand in his leather jacket's pocket while Scott stood a a few feet away. It was silent for a few minutes. "Well?" Derek asked.

"She knows." Scott said to him. Scott didn't have to say who it was, Derek knew it was Boof.

"I figured." Said Derek without much emotion.

"Well that's not the problem, it's how she found out." Scott continued. Derek looked confused.

"What?"

"Something broke into our house last night, I'm pretty sure it was a werewolf. It tried attacking Boof, then later it lured her into the woods and she doesn't even remember." Scott explained. Derek started to look concerned.

"This is not good." He said after being silent for a few minutes.

"What is it?"

"It sounds like an alpha without a pack. And for whatever reason it saw Boof and wants her." Derek said. As soon as Scott heard the alpha wanted Boof part of his pack his stomach dropped. He didn't even want her apart of Derek's pack, let alone some random's alpha's.

"Well what can we do?"

"I'm not sure yet, because that's not the biggest problem. This doesn't happen much, I've actually never seen it before. But Boof already has a connection somehow with this alpha."

Scott was confused. "What? How?"

"Think about it Scott. She only moved back to Beacon Hills a few months ago. Someone from her old town must be a werewolf."

"Well do you have any idea who?"

Derek shook his head. "No, it's an alpha. But it's also a lone wolf, an omega. It doesn't happen often, but it's already powerful enough it doesn't need a pack. Was it fully transformed?" Derek asked, and Scott nodded. "Then if he does give Boof the Bite and has her join the pack, it won't be good."

"What'll happen?" Scott asked. Derek was quiet for a minute.

"I'm not so sure, I've never seen this happen before, just heard Peter talk about it once before. The best thing you can do now is keep an eye on Boof. Don't leave her alone for too long. And talk to her about what happened in her old town. Maybe there's a connection somewhere. A teacher from her old school or something like that."

"So what should I do?" Scott asked.

"Just talk to her, maybe she might get an idea of who it may be after awhile. And keep an eye on her too. I know you wanna protect her, and I know I tell you all the time you can't always do that, but you can try your hardest."

Scott could hear some emotion in Derek's voice when he talked about protecting Boof. He knew Derek was thinking about Laura, and how he wished there was a way he could have protected her somehow so she could still be here. Scott stood there quiet for a few moments then finally said, "Thanks, Derek."

"Your welcome."

While Scott was talking to Derek, Boof went over to Stiles's house. After what happened Scott didn't want her to be alone, and she didn't wanna be either. Boof opened the door almost right after he knocked.

"Hey." Stiles greeted.

"Hey." Boof said quietly. "You can come in." She said after a minute, Stiles did and the two walked over to the couch and sat down next to each other. It was quiet for a few minutes.

"So Scott told you everything, huh?" Stiles finally said. Boof nodded. Stiles put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, he's gonna be o. He's made this far, mostly because of me." Said Stiles trying to lighten the mood. Boof was so emotionless she didn't even crack a smile.

"It's not so much that I'm worried about." She admitted.

"Well what are you worried about?" Stiles asked her. Boof let out a deep sigh.

"That...werewolf or monster or whatever that came here last night. I don't why, but I almost felt like, it wanted me or something. I don't know why I felt that way but it was scary. I don't want it coming after me and attacking me or worse." She let out, Stiles could hear and feel the fear in her voice. It was quiet for another moment, but then Stiles wrapped his arm completely around Boof. She nestled up against his chest.

"I know you're scared, you have every right to be. This supernatural stuff is some freaky shit. But I promise you, nothing is gonna hurt you. You have Scott, who cares about you so much and wants to keep you safe. And you have me. I know I'm not some strong werewolf or an abominable snowman or whatever but I promise you I'm right here, and I won't let anything hurt you." He told her. When he finished, Boof just looked up at him, then kissed him. It took Stiles a second to realize what was happening and kiss her back.

"Thanks, Stiles. That really does mean a lot to me." She told him.

"Well you mean a lot to me." He said. Boof once again laid her head on his chest, as she did he pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head. The two then sat there like that for the longest time, not saying anything, just being thankful for one another's company. During that time, Boof felt more safe than she ever had in the past couple of months. She was with a guy who meant everything to her, and she knew he was honest when he said he wouldn't let anything hurt her. For a moment, everything was forgotten and peaceful.

It should be illegal how long I take to update. Hope you guys liked this chapter though. Let me know if you want more StilesxBoof or drama with the unknown alpha :)
