Blissful Burn ➳ Stiles Stilinski [5]

Ten Steps Ahead

"So if you're here to make amends with me why is she here?" Theo pointed right at me.

My eyes glowed angrily in response and I took a step forward until Scott put his arm in front of me.

We glanced at each other having another one of those telepathic conversations where we could read each other's minds. Kind of.

It was sometimes hard to have mind-reading conversations with Scott when there was nothing much going on upstairs.

But I took a step back when I understood him wanting to keep this civil.

"It was my idea to bring you into this plan asswipe," I sneered keeping my temper down.

It was hard when I felt the rage of Tracy ready to pounce on me like some pathetic lizard.

He smugly smirked back at me like he had no idea how dangerous it was for him to be standing this close to me. "Then I'm flattered you included me in this new scheme of yours."

"Oh would you relax, it was a last resort. Don't go feeling too special Raeken." I snapped.

He wasn't going to stop and now I could feel Liam getting angry.

"I told you we'd end up on the same side." Theo looked at the three of us now.

My little sophomore gave him a big fake smile before he spoke. "How about I punch you in the balls to remind you we're not?"

"And that is how we do it!" I held my hand up and Liam high-fived it while we kept our eyes set on Theo.

He genuinely laughed at the remark but Tracy scowled at us. We sure as hell were mocking both of them.

"I love this kid," Theo stated.

"I don't." Tracy seemed irritable and I growled while placing a hand on the beta.

"Awww Tracy...you're way too irrelevant to be contributing to this conversation right now. But how about you come back to us in a few years when you're finally not being a huge suck-up to a fake-ass werewolf."

Liam held his hand up so I could hit it and we both were so proud of ourselves. Of course, we were.

Well technically I shouldn't be proud of putting little children in their place but they should learn to shut their mouths and show some respect when speaking to adults.

For the record, I may be seventeen but I sure as hell feel like a mother sometimes.

"All it takes is one little scratch and you're helpless," she waved a claw around attempting to torment me.

"Cute. But you're not my first kanima and you're not relevant enough to be the last," I raised my brows taunting her. "So try me."

"It's been a while since I've paralysed a human. Hey, how is Stiles doing—" and her next breath consisted of her yelling out in pain.

Burn marks appeared on her arms and my eyes were glowing as well as my canines showing. Just because I could burn people with my mind didn't mean I could do it without being obvious.

I was still learning.

"Alright, enough!" Scott stared at me warning me to stop now.

I glanced between him and Tracy and Theo and gave it a few seconds before standing down. It wasn't until then he sighed going back on topic.

"We know you're not on our side, Theo. You said you wanted to help Lydia, but you left Eichen with something else, didn't you?"

"You mean the mask?" He curiously questioned. "Are you worried about that?"
