     "Aurora please"

The two teenagers stood outside the counsellors office. While the youngest waited for her older brother, the sarcastic human was trying everything he could to persuade the werewolf.

          "Please stop"

However, the teen werewolf wasn't very convinced. On a typical Friday night, Aurora would rather stay at home and workout for hours on end. But both teenagers knew she wouldn't be able to resist a party hosted by the queen of parties.

"Not until you say yes"

Aurora, almost, said no but the look on Stiles' face completely changed her mind. Eventually, Aurora agreed. However, only if Stiles agreed to buy her ice cream. The latter was pleased with her decision and agreed to the terms immediately but they both knew, she was going to agree anyway - with or without the deal.

A couple of moments, the young werewolf stood in an all black assemble with pumps she was going to break her neck in. For someone who wore converses for the majority of her life, pumps was something she wished she didn't agree to.

Occasionally, she growled to the helpful banshee and werecoyote but they kept smothering her in make-up that was going to leave a lasting effect nevertheless.

Walking down the stairs was a big risk Aurora was not willing to take. But as she made it to the middle step, she was proud of herself. That was until that moment.

The next thing, the majority of students saw an embarrassment moment for someone dressed in a scandalous outfit. The moment Aurora Lahey fell down the stairs. But at the current time, Aurora didn't care.

"hello handsome. Wanna go to an exclusive party with me?" That's how Aurora expected it to happen but to add to the already awkward situation, all the teenager could do was give the new werewolf a thumbs up.

•••

"It's Lydia Martin's Lake House" Aurora explained to the confused werewolf. Whilst everyone was waiting for the two to arrive, the latter was stuck in traffic. The situation didn't make the car ride anymore awkward then it already was, nor did it help the agitated teenagers to escape the horrors of the full moon.

To escape the awkward silence, Aurora began to drum her fingers, trying to keep in tune with the music. Of course, this had angered the newborn werewolf.

"Can you turn the music down?" Liam asked, clutching his hair with his hands, his knuckles turning white at the tightened grip. Aurora immediately obeyed and turned the music turn to a comfortable volume.

Eventually, the two freshmen had arrived, the party not-in-full swing and the only words that escaped the transitioning werewolf was "Where is everyone?"

All Aurora had to think of was ice cream...and hitting both Scott and Stiles. If it was only that easy. She had to make it through the night without turning first.

     "They're here. It's a small party" Aurora stated, the lies escalating from her mouth.

     "You said everyone was coming" Liam pointed out, earning a growl as a response from the female. "We just arrived early"

Together, they walked inside the lake house, the other five members already waiting. Only just noticing, he began to turn and leave but Aurora stood in front of the door with a sad expression.

She didn't want to do this but she knew that they wanted to help the transitioning werewolf. "I'm sorry" Aurora mouthed before slipping out of the house.

•••

"What party?" Aurora questioned down the phone. Of course she was left out of the loop due to all the supernatural problems in Beacon Hills. Luckily Garrett always had her back.

     "I'll send you the address"

As soon as Aurora got the text, a sigh escaped her lips. It was just her luck. Liam had to tell Mason who then told everyone. But what Aurora wanted to know was how they gotten the address.

Acting oblivious to the situation, she mustered her best excited voice. "I'll meet you there."

     It hadn't taken long for her freshman friends to arrive. They piled out of their cars, a group holding a keg in their hands. Mason knocked on the door, revealing a confused look from Lydia Martin.

One by one, they all entered the Lydia's lake house. The two females glanced at each other, a panicked expression on both of their faces. Luckily the crew had moved Liam away from public eyes but they wasn't in the clear.

•••

Down in the basement, Scott chained Liam against the support beams, having to hold his arms as Liam fought to be free.

"I got him, gets his hands" Scott spoke to Kira. Aurora sat against the wall, watching the trio struggle. She debated on helping Lydia but the young werewolf was bound to struggle against the full moon nonetheless.

     It was times like this that she wanted Isaac.

A moment later, Aurora heard a thud, turning her attention to the female fox. "I didn't kill him, did I?" Kira asked.

"No you didn't, he's just out cold" Scott replied.

     It only felt like seconds when Liam finally woke up. Aurora rolled her eyes at the couple and at the situation. Perhaps it would be better if they weren't snogging onto minutes before.

Liam broke free from the chains, breaking the window as he ran into the woods.

     "Are you two clearly that dumb?" Aurora questioned.

•••

     Running into the woods, Scott and Aurora searched for the new werewolf, using his scent and his increased heartbeat to track him. When they finally found the poor freshman, he was kneeling on the dirt, a frightened expression present on his pale face.

"What's happening to me?" Liam whimpered. Scott immediately kneeled down in front him whilst Aurora refused to get dirt on anything but her shoes.

"Same thing that happened to me" Scott confessed. Aurora felt inclined to say the same thing but she rather let the two boys have a heart to heart conversation without her input.

"They can't know about this," Liam sniffed before adding. "my mom, my stepdad. I can't do this to them again"

A curious look appeared on Aurora's face. She knew the boy was trouble, majority of the freshman year. But nobody knew the extent of his actions or what happened. "What do you mean again?" She asked, remaining in her spot next to Scott.

Liam looked at her, realising for the first time that she was there "I got kicked out of school" Liam whimpered again. "The way they looked at me. They saw what I did to that car"

     "Liam, it's okay" She tried to comfort him, not wanting to set him off once again. However, her plan didn't work.

     "They can't see me like this. Like," Liam started, both Scott and Aurora finishing. "like a monster."

Scott stood up from the ground and looked down at the teenager, an alpha helping his beta. "you're not a monster, you're a werewolf, like me."

     "Like us" Aurora corrected.

     A smile appeared on her face as she held out her hand. Liam stared for a moment before accepting her help and stood up.

     And like that, he was part of the pack. The inner circle.
