"I told you he was up to something," Stiles whispers as we watch Theo get out of his car. "We just spent three hours watching this guy play video games in his bedroom," Liam says and I nod. "So, he better be out here covering up a mass murder," I finish for him but I think Stiles is just ignoring us. "Let's find out," Stiles says as we continue to follow him. "Still got his sent?" Stiles questions. "Don't need it," Liam says pointing out the footprints in the mud. We continue through the woods until Liam suddenly stops. "What?" I ask him. "We forgot- we were supposed to meet Mason at the school gym," he says and I mentally face palm myself. "Okay, why don't you just tell him," Stiles says and we give him a confused look. "Tell him what?" Liam questions. "Anything," Stiles shrugs and I roll my eyes. "I can't just tell him anything," Liam says. "Why not?" Stiles questions and I share a glance with Liam. "We haven't told him everything," he says and Stiles gives us a look. "Still? We said it was okay," he says and I roll my eyes at him again. "Yeah, I know but it's not that easy," Liam says. "Yeah Stiles it's not exactly an easy topic to bring up in conversation, what are we supposed to do, walk up to him randomly and be like hey Mason we're werewolves with glowing eyes and claws and oh don't forget the pointy sharp fangs that we use to fight off other supernatural creatures," I sarcastically say and Stiles sighs giving me a look. "He watched dad blow up a berserker with a land mine. I think the groundwork has been pretty throughly laid for acceptance," Stiles says and I sigh. "Scott and I have been through this okay. More than once. It's just better when they know," Stiles says walking ahead as Liam takes out his phone. "What if he freaks out? What if he doesn't want to talk to me anymore?" he says getting paranoid. I sigh turning around and facing him. "We'll tell him together, I won't let you do this on your own," I say and turn to catch up with Stiles. "Okay, but what if he tries to stab me with something silver," he states again and I can tell Stiles is getting annoyed. "Or what i-" we hear a crash and turn around to see Liam gone. The both of us walk to where we heard the crash to see Liam sitting in a hole. "What the hell are you doing?" Stiles hisses and I try to keep in my laugh as Liam just shrugs. "I swe- There he is," Stiles whispers pointing at Theo standing on a bridge. "Hurry up stop screwing around," he says hurrying off. I give Liam a hand and we both rush over to Stiles. "Try get his sent," he says and we nod. "Get anything," he questions. "Soap," Liam answers and Stiles gives me a look. "It's nice soap," I agree and he runs his hands through his hair. "His emotional state. Mood signals, remember?" he says and we both nod again. "He's sad," Liam suddenly says. "Sad?" Stiles says and I nod. "More like grief," I cut in. I watch as Theo drops a pretty white flower into the lake. "Oh my God," Stiles says as we look at him. "Go," he says pushing us away from the hiding place. "Why?" I ask him. "Just go," he says and we obey.

"It's the bridge where they found his sister," Stiles says and I give him a confused look. "He had a sister?" I question and he nods. "The one that got lost and died of exposure. He was leaving a flower for her," he explains. "Well that doesn't sound evil," Liam states. "I know," Stiles says but suddenly stops when Theo appears in front of us. "What are you guys doing?" he smiles and Liam stands in front of us protectively causing Stiles to put his hand on his shoulder. "Woah, why do I get the feeling this kid is tougher than he looks," Theo says a little to confident. "Only when we let him off his leash," Stiles says. "Stiles, we were in little league together, why are you so suspicious of me?" Theo asks Stiles who shakes his head. "I'm suspicious of you cause of these," Stiles speaks up giving Theo some papers. "One is a speed ticket signed by your dad eight years ago. The other is a signature on a transfer to Beacon High, they're different," Stiles says as Theo looks at them. "They do look different," he says. "They're completely different," I cut in standing next to Liam. "Stephanie Hale," he smirks and Stiles cuts in. "Actually she's a Stilinski," Stiles says but Theo ignores him. "So my dad's not my dad, like he's an imposter?" he questions. "Something like that," Stiles answers as Theo folds up the papers. "Who do you think I am?" Theo asks him. "We don't know yet," Stiles says. "You want me to give you a DNA sample or something?" Theo says and I see Stiles getting agitated. "No I don't have anything from fourth grade to match it," Stiles retorts. "You know Stiles, I came back here for Scott. But I also came back here for you, someone like you. Someone who's willing to walk into the woods in the middle of the night to protect his friends. I don't have anyone like that. Scott does. You all do. I know I'm in the right place. I'm meant to be here. I'm mean to be apart of this pack,"
