Can't Run Away from your Destiny Book 4 (Teen Wolf)

The Dark Moon

I followed Stiles and Scott to Mexico in my car. We figured out where Derek was, and we were going to find him. I didn't know what to expect, but I did know that I could handle anything that was thrown my way. I tried to ignore the conversation going on between Lydia and Stiles, but it was getting harder to because Lydia kept saying something about us dying. I snorted at that because she seemed to be the only one worried about that. I followed Lydia and Stiles into this building, and I knew the moment that we stepped in that something was off. We ended up walking into some type of club. We walked to the bar, and not too long after we did, some dude walked up, and after Lydia dropped a bullet into the shot glass, did he lead us to a room to talk with a woman. The woman tried to explain the music that was playing, but none of us really cared.

"We're here for Derek Hale." Lydia said.

I would've said something, but Stiles and Scott thought it would be a good idea if I was there as a type of bodyguard. Nobody knew that I was an Alpha female, so we were going to use that to our advantage.

"Is that so?" the woman asked.

"We know you have him." Lydia replied.

The woman cut the fabric a little more forcefully, and gave Lydia a glare.

"We've heard you can be bought." Lydia continued as Stiles placed money on the table.

"It's 50,000 for Derek." Stiles said.

"Now, where does a teenage boy get money like this?" the woman asked.

Stiles stayed quiet, but I knew the answer as well as him and Lydia did.

"Japanese mafia?" the woman asked again before the other people in the room cocked their guns.

"Not smart to come alone." the woman said as she leaned on the table.

"What makes you think that we came alone?" Stiles asked.

I smirked at that because the woman looked utterly confused. I wanted to laugh in her face because she really thought that Lydia and Stiles came alone.

"You brought a wolf into my home?" the woman asked as she finally realized what Stiles meant.

"We brought an Alpha." Stiles replied.

"Actually, we brought 2 Alphas." Lydia corrected.

The woman was confused, but she wouldn't be for too long. I was waiting for the right time to reveal myself.

"My friends... I don't think you're aware of your poor timing. Do you know what the dark moon is?" the woman asked.

I was confused by this, but I knew that Lydia would be able to answer.

"The part of the lunar phase when the moon is least visible in the sky." Lydia replied. See, what did I tell you.

"But do you know its meaning?" the woman asked again.

"Some people say it's a time of reflection. Or grief." Lydia replied.

"Grief and loss, mija. I wonder why, when you and your friends have suffered so much loss, you would risk it again for someone like Derek Hale." the woman said, and I knew then that I had to say something.

"Derek is family, and if I remember correctly, a hunter's code is to protect family." I growled at the woman.

I guess she forgot that I was still there because she was shocked when I said something.

"'Cause we don't like to lose." Stiles said, and that pulled her attention back to them.

It was quiet for a few minutes before Scott came over the radio and told Stiles to take 10 off the table. I thought it was funny because now the woman would see that we meant business.
