17-year-old Liana Arielle Pearce moved in with her cousin, Stiles Stilinski, and his father after her father died in a supposed car accident. Liana knew the truth. She knew that hunters killed her father because he refused to help them kill innocent...
Liana had recently moved to Beacon Hills to live with her Uncle Noah and her cousin, Stiles, after her dad was killed. It was about three weeks before school was supposed to start and Liana was tired of being smothered by Stiles and Noah. She gets that they care about her, but she is starting to feel suffocated. While Noah is at work and Stiles went to hang out with his friend Scott, Liana made her way into the woods.
Liana has always felt at peace in the woods. It's part of being a witch. She was wondering, not really paying attention to where she was going, knowing she could easily find her way back out, when she came across a clearing. Liana decided to sit on a fallen tree and just relax.
She closed her eyes and held her necklace and thought about her father. Liana had a necklace that her father gave her to represent their family and his love for her. She never took it off. She also has her father's leather bracelet around her wrist. He always wore it and told her long ago that if anything ever happened to him to take it off of his wrist and wear it, that it would help keep her safe. She didn't know what that meant until after he died. The second she put the bracelet on, she could feel the power from it. The protection it gave and the extra boost it would give to her powers, should she ever need it. It also helped her feel connected to her father, even after his death. She would have preferred to have him, but there is nothing she can do about that.
She didn't notice a man coming up behind her as she was lost in thought with her eyes closed. That man being Derek Hale. Derek was at his old family home when he smelt the most amazing scent and had to follow it. He smelt honey, earth, lavender, and vanilla. He followed the scent and it led him to a girl sitting on a log in a clearing. Her back was to him, but he could tell she was upset. He walked up slowly to her and placed her hand on her shoulder.
When Liana felt the hand on her shoulder, she instantly sensed that he was a werewolf and threw him away from her with her magic and stood up to face him. She was startled so she never noticed the sparks from when he touched her. Derek flew back into a tree before falling on the ground with a groan.
"Who the hell are you?" Liana strongly questioned.
"Ugh. What the hell was that for?" Derek questioned as he stood, not looking at her yet since he was brushing the dirt off his clothes.
"Well, I'm sorry but when some random werewolf I've never met sneaks up on me, I react." Liana says, not at all meaning the apology.
Derek looks up and his eyes instantly find Liana's cautious ones. Liana gasps as she feels a connection form between them and Derek's eyes flash a sparkling baby blue color before changing back to his normal green eyes.
"Holy crap." Liana mutters as she looks at Derek with wide eyes and her tense posture relaxes. She knows what that connection was. This werewolf is her mate...or more specifically she's the mate of this werewolf.
Derek was staring at her in shock and in awe. Mates are hard to find and he never in a million years thought he would have one, let alone find her.
Derek snaps out of his shock and asks, "If I walk up to you are you going to throw me again?"
Liana laughs a little. "I guess that depends on if you try to attack me." She says jokingly with a smirk.
"I could never hurt you." he says seriously as he slowly walks up to her
"Well, I would certainly hope not." Liana says with a smile.
Derek stands right in front of her, "I'm Derek. Derek Hale." He says with a smile as he holds his hand out for her.
Liana places her hand in his and they instantly felt sparks. She smiles. "Liana Pearce."
Derek brings her hand up to his mouth and places a gentle kiss on her knuckles without breaking eye contact.
"It's nice to meet you, Liana Pearce." Derek says
"It's nice to meet you, too, Derek Hale."
"Since you know I'm a werewolf, is it safe to assume that you know what's going on between us?"
"I'm your mate." Liana says confidently, making Derek smile and nod.
"You are. How did you throw me off of you like that?"
"Magic."
"Magic? You're a witch." He says in realization
"I sure am."
"Wow. You're my little witch." Derek says with a smile.
