It's late at night, there's a new threat in town, and where does the McCall pack find themselves? In the middle of the woods. More specifically, the same place as the dead hellhound, Halwyn. Scott, Lydia, Malia, and Zahra were talking about this very incident when Zahra started to feel uneasy. She wasn't sure why, but she started to watch Scott more closely, as well as the surrounding area in search for any signs of danger. He may have been the alpha of the pack, but she still felt that it was her duty to protect him, and not the opposite way around. Her mother says that it is in her blood and that she was created for this task, just like her ancestors were created by the great Egyptian goddesses, Bast and Sekhmet, to protect the pharaohs. Zahra and her family are descendants of the Mai, an ancient Egyptian race, they are considered to be more similar to demigods than to a supernatural creature. They possess many of the same qualities of a werewolf but do not phase like they do, nor are they affected by the moon. There are few Mai that possess even more qualities than that, instead of being able to read someone's chemosignals, some are able to not just sense a person's emotions, but feel them as well. The most impressive, and rare, ability of the Mai is that some of them are given nine lives. Bast was the Egyptian goddess of cats, so she blessed the female descendants of the first Mai she created with this astounding ability. It is rare and often skips many generations, but both Zahra and her mother found out that they possessed this quality a couple of years ago.

Her family moved to Beacon Hills shortly before the deadpool was distributed. Everyone in her small family was on the list for $5 million each. Somebody, still unknown to the two Bast women, broke into their house one night and shot Zahra, her mother, father, and little brother execution style. She and her mother, Nailah, woke up within minutes of each other, awakening as if from a bad dream, unfortunately for them everything that happened was a reality. The next few weeks were difficult, not only due of the death of her father and brother, but because neither Zahra's mother or herself was aware that they were descendants of the original Mai.

Suddenly the air around them changed, not physically, but emotionally. Zahra focused on Scott, she saw him getting agitated and sensed his fear. Neither of the other two girls picked up on it until Scott mentioned seeing hunters and bolted away while telling the girls to run. Zahra was the first to follow suit, confused as to where he thought he saw hunters, but feeling like she needed to stay with him. After the initial confusion and shock of Scott's outburst, Malia and Lydia ran after the two yelling for them to stop.

Scott ran through the dark woods in terror, he saw hunters surrounding him with their guns aimed at him. He first saw the lasers pointed at him and without thinking about what he was doing, he began to shift acting on his instinct to survive. It seemed like they were only getting closer no matter how fast he ran, and soon enough he came to a clearing in the woods, completely surrounded. He could feel himself starting to panic when he heard the heartbeats of over 10 different people. One of the hunters started to approach him and he attacked without second thought. It was only a couple of seconds later when he felt someone pulling him off of the ground and heard Sheriff Stilinski trying to calm him down. He did not realize what had happened until he saw Zahra's concerned face and heard Stilinski telling the officers to lower their weapons. Scott began to apologize profusely just as Lydia and Malia finally reached the opening; they looked around in confusion trying to figure out what they had just walked into.

Confused and concerned glances were thrown around the circle trying to get answers from Scott about what they had just happened. Before their alpha could give a proper response Sam and Dean came rushing into the chaos guns at the ready. They had a look of concern and panic written all over their faces, lowering their weapons only when they spotted Sheriff Stilinski.

"Uh... I think we've got some visitors," Lydia stated as the brothers she recognized to be special agents began to walk over towards their circle. Sheriff Stilinski looked over his shoulder to see who she was talking about, and sure enough the two men were halfway across the clearing and getting closer to the group by the second. "I'll take care of this, just talk to Parrish and he'll relay all the information back to me."
