After Peter gets hurt saving Stiles' life, the teen's reaction kicks off long-dead instincts that he'd really rather not be feeling. Over the next few weeks they claw and twist at Peter's mind, Stiles' oblivious behavior sending him into a downward spiral of wicked courtship, that of a murderous, ex-alpha, zombie-wolf, until the young man can't ignore it anymore.

As far as plans go, Stiles' was easy enough - stay out of the Preserve. Easy enough. But then Scott had to go and be a martyr, and well, Stiles followed right after didn't he? Now he's broken the treaty between the humans and the werewolves out in the Preserve, but a little quick thinking and with one trick up his sleeve, Stiles may be able to fix things for everyone. Or maybe not.

Home from college for the summer, Stiles takes a job babysitting for one of the Sheriff's new deputies. Caring for five-year-old werewolf triplets is a challenge but it's their dad that really has Stiles tied up in knots. Hired specifically with the Hale family reunion in mind, he only has the summer to decide if he can survive the trip to the end of the road and back.

Baker Peter who can only express how he feels with the pies he turns out day after day in his little shop down on Main Street. He bakes and he experiments, and he feeds the people he cares about. He's a little quiet, a little shy… broken maybe. He doesn't like the loudmouthed kid who starts coming in every week and stuffs his face while moaning like a porn star. At least at first.

"I get it ok? You're the best of the best, the king, the Alpha-thief. Frankly if I never hear you name again, it'll be too soon."

When the worst happens and Stiles' father is killed in the line of duty, he's shipped across the country to live with his uncle in a Boston boxing-gym. It's the first time the Spark comes in contact with a real-life werewolf pack, but that doesn't mean he's happy about it.

It might be about power, it might be about praise, but more than anything it's all about control.

Years after the fire that killed his family, a damaged Derek Hale returns unprepared to survive in a world without pack. Captured and tossed into the fighting pits, he all but loses his humanity in a bid to survive. When a raid finally offers him the chance to escape he takes it, setting out on a collision course for a town called Beacon Hills and a certain sheriff's son.

Peter's ace and Stiles is disillusioned, but neither can afford to move through the world that way, so for now a little cash and a little non-disclosure will have to do.

Fake-dating doesn't actually happen in real life does it?

Stiles goes to a social support group when the pack starts disintegrating around him and is horrified to see Peter there. He's sure the guy is following him, there to make fun of him or assess his weaknesses, but then he gets up to speak and for the first time in his life Stiles finds himself totally lost for words.

Five years after leaving Beacon Hills, Stiles is coming home, and he's not the same lovable goof-ball he used to be. Older, stronger, he can hold his own against almost anything now, but he's still no hero, and with the threat of the nogitsune and a deadly dementia hovering over him, things are only going to get darker.

Behind the scenes of 'These Faces and These Places'

Stiles might not be the greatest private detective in the world, but he's never been caught before.

When a dueling piano bar by the name of Howl at the Moon opened up twenty minutes outside of Beacon Hills, Derek began to wonder whether or not the karmic forces of the world really were against him. When the pack decided to make it their new favorite hangout, he decided for certain that they were.

They needed something, something to mark them as pack.

When it finally happened, Stiles was only surprised that it hadn't happened before.
