The Serpent Wolf - A Riverdale x Teen Wolf crossover AU

11.

"What?! Betty Cooper? The blonde northside girl with the blue eyes and the ponytail? SHE did the dance?" Stiles asks. I'd been back at the motel for a while.

"Yeah, she did." I laugh.

"I can't believe that." Scott joins in conversation.

"She loves Jug, it's clear she'd do anything for him. She wanted to show him that, so she did it the best way she knew how. By joining him." I shrug.

"People do crazy things for love." Lydia says, taking Stiles' hand.

"It's sort of like joining a pack?" Malia asks.

"Well, a little different. But yeah, more or less. A pack is your family, and so is a gang." I say.

"You really know a lot about the serpents, huh?" Liam asks, I shrug.

"My whole family were serpents; my dad was FP's right hand man. Jug and I were meant to take over the serpents. I know every serpent law, I know the ins and outs, and I grew up on the southside. It was meant to be my life, of course I know." I say.

"What made you find us, then?" Liam asks.

"The same thing that made Scott a true Alpha, a will not to maim or kill an innocent person, including the people I love." I say.

"That's what makes her one of us." Stiles says, nudging me.

Later, I'm in the cramped motel room with Lydia and Malia, getting ready to go meet FP, Jug and Betty before we go to the Wyrm. Stiles, Scott and Liam are sitting outside while we mess around.

"So, you pretty much have to strip in front of a bunch of old guys." Malia asks.

"Not just old guys, but yeah." I say, I stand staring at myself in the mirror, fussing over the outfit I plan to wear under my clothes which is barely anything honestly, a black bralette and lacy shorts that I'm like 99% sure should count as underwear.

"It looks fine, Logan. Don't worry." Lydia says, seeing the worry on my face.

"Yeah, you look hot Logan don't even worry." Malia says.

"It's not the outfit I'm worried about." I say, pulling on my black jeans with rips in the knees and searching for my shirt.

"What are you worried about then? If we stick to the plan, we're set." Malia asks.

"This seems too easy, something's wrong. Lydia, do you know if anyone's going to die tonight?" I ask, my voice shaking.

"Yes. But it can't be made out who it is, it's almost like the sense itself isn't sure." Lydia says.

"Great, even the Banshee's malfunctioning..." I sigh.

"I'm going to go talk to Stiles, I know you're worried Logan but we'll get through this, we'll always get through this." Lydia says.

"Oh! I'll come with you, I want to see if Liam will spar with me." Malia says.

"You crushed any masculinity that boy had last time, Malia." Lydia says.

"And now he's practiced harder!" Malia says. I find the top I'm looking for and put it on, inspecting myself once again.

"Actually Malia, can we talk?" I ask.

"Sure." Malia says, Lydia using that as her cue to leave.

"I think it's time we talked about it." I say, Malia shakes her head.
