Malia sat across the couch, back slouching against the puffed up pillows. She was never going to understand her work in front of her, planted on the table. College work, ew. How was she ever going to understand any of this when she couldn't even grasp Maths in high school? She let out a grunt of frustration as she snapped her head away from the skeptical work she had become so puzzled at; cupping her head in her hands.

"Babe I'm home!" a voice called out. Malia looked up and suddenly her frustration turned into a ball of excitement. The female pounced off the couch, her long chocolate blonde hair waving past her shoulders in her sudden movement. Her arms were wrapping around the neck of a male, the exact height as her. Her brown ovals meeting his own as her lips snunk a small kiss to close the gap between them.

"I missed that...and you of course" Scott replied, his cheeks fainting in a tinted pink from Malia's welcoming kisses as soon as his feet had stepped through the door. His heart jumped every time her lips would meet his. Yes, it had been years since Kira had left with the skinwalkers but Scott had some sort of feeling every time he was around Malia. A type of...lust feeling, a caring feeling inside him.

"I'm glad you did. Now you can help me with my work." Malia bluntly stated, strutting over to the table she had been sitting at before her boyfriend had arrived home. "Aw, baby, I can't...I have to work" Scott answered, a sigh of exhaustion parted from the skin of his lips.

He followed her over to the couch and took a seat next to her. "I promise..I will make it up to you once I get home. Full of cuddles, that scary movie you always love to watch-" Scott shudded at the thought of a recent scary movie, 'The Nun', Malia had recently come to love. Him on the other hand, he was terrified.

Malia laughed as she watched his shudder revel down his spine. She knew that movie terrified him but yet, she absolutely loved the movie. It had so much tension and she found herself being drawn to exactly that. She continued listening as Scott continued. "...and we can buy that especially large pepperoni pizza you love so much" he finished.

Even though she hated not being able to spend time with her boyfriend after he'd just gotten home, Malia knew he enjoyed his work...even if he rarely had time for her. Whenever they tried having time with eachother, Malia always ended up falling asleep on waiting too long for him to return home. "Okay. Deal" she smiled. Scott gave a warm smile towards her but this time it wasn't like every other smile he'd gave her since they'd been together. It seemed off.

"Are you okay?" she brought herself to ask the alpha besides her, her eyes full of concern. "Yeah..yeah I'm fine. Just really tired today, I didn't sleep much last night" Scott replied with a tone of security in his voice. "Oh- I probably kicked you out the bed again" Malia thought as she shrugged off her thoughts and allowed Scott to dress for work.

Steam filled the bathroom as Malia wiped the heated water from the bathroom mirror. She had nothing better to do in the evenings so she decided to take a well needed shower to release her stress of college work whilst Scott was working. Throwing on a pair of dark blue leggings and a light grey hoodie, Malia was as comfy and warm as she could describe.

She walked into the living room where she heard a distant chime from underneath the couch pillows. The chocolate haired brunette curved her eyebrows in confusion as she lifted up the pillows with her hands. There, tightly tucked in the gaps was Scott's mobile phone. "Probably forgotten that" Malia spoke to herself, picking up the device. Little did she know, Scott's notification icon was flashing amongst the screen.

Malia was always someone who went with her instincts. Always followed her curiosity. Except it could've been Stiles trying to reach Scott from the FBI with updates, how him and Lydia are or Liam freaking out about a maybe new werewolf perhaps. Malia's finger painted down the phone until it reached the home button, with little force the home screen was already displayed to her.

There was so many text messages from an unknown name Malia had no idea who, she'd never even heard of this name but the name itself she wasn't so overly angry about. She read the messages in her mind, over and over again.

Y/N; 'Hey baby, you coming over for some more fun tonight? You can always tell Malia you're working again like the past weeks. I'm proud of you for keeping it from her for this long xoxo'

Paralyzed with the chemosignals of hurt, anger, sadness and confusion. Malia's eyes swelled up with their own tears. Had Scott really been working to help with his college course? Had he spent weeks lying to her? What did she even do wrong in their relationship for him to consider doing this to her?

She didn't have much time to question the uneasy thoughts in her mind as the familiar sounds of the door unlocking came to her senses. The werecoyote took a hard gulp, her eyes glowing a form of crystal blue from the wielded mix of anger and hurt inside her. She placed Scott's device upon the glass table next to her. Was she seriously going through with what she was about to do... But she needed to know.

[ Hey guys! This is my first chapter of the first book I'm writing on Wattpad. I've always struggled with the structure of my writing but hoping you all can give some kind feedback on how I'm doing or how to improve. I hope you enjoy the first part and let me know if you'd like another! 💘]
