Theo Raeken Imagines

A Mate

"Who exactly is this?" Theo asked when Scott told you to follow Theo's lead.

"(Y/N), my new beta." Scott said quickly when you didn't answer.

"I don't like her." Theo said when he felt an irritating comfort to your presence.

"That doesn't matter right now. We need to get on with the plan." Stiles pointed out as he motioned towards the rest of the pack that were splitting off into groups and getting to their instructed positions.

"I could go with Malia and Liam?" You offered when Theo didn't answer but a growl rumbled up through his chest and out his nose in a cloudy puff that hit the cold air.

"No, Malia's taking them to meet up with Peter. You should go with Theo." Scott said and started to walk to the jeep.

"So what I'm a babysitter now? Don't you trust me?" Theo called after him. Stiles paused and barked out a quick no which Scott scolded him for as they got into the Jeep.

"I'm pretty fast you know." You popped up once they'd gone. Theo gave a half hearted growl and stomped through the dark building.

"We need to learn the layout of the room before they lead it here." Theo said as you trotted along behind him. He could tell you were new. You smelled nervous. But not enough for the fight that was about to start.

"I've been here a few times. I know the layout." You said camly.

"Maybe so but you don't know the layout in the dark, in the rain, or during a fight." Theo rolled his eyes when you crinkle your nose as if you didn't see what he meant. "We'll practise before they get here."

"Where's (Y/N)?" Theo asked Scott who was sat next to the empty seat that normally clouded his senses with your smell as you twirled your pen between you fingers in the seat behind him.

"She's ah. Struggling with the sounds, so much going on at school. I figured until we catch whatever is attacking people it would be better for her to take a few weeks out of school. Or at least until Argent gets back and can help me." Scott admitted, he looked upset that he couldn't be more helpful.

"You know if you wanted I could give you a hand with her?" Theo offered. Scott gave him an odd look.

"You know you could help me look for other wolves she might have come into contact with. Derek called and said she might be struggling because she has a mate. It's pretty rare but not unusual." Scott asked and Theo nodded, making a mental note to scare of this so called mate of yours.

He snooped around for a week but once Argent came back he relinquished the hunt to the pro. "Theo." Chris said as he approached Theo who had been discussing the best way to hide that he was using his abilities in Lacrosse games as the pack meeting wound down.

"Yeah. You find them?" Theo asked grumpily.

"I did. Theo, you're the only new person that was introduced when she started having issues. You're her mate." Chris narrowed his eyes when Theo didn't respond.

"Is everything ok?" Scott asked as he approached the two of them.

"It's fine." Theo grumbled as he barged out of the McCall house.

"That didn't seem fine to me." Chris said to Scott who rolled his eyes.

"Will they be ok on their own. I'd like to help but another person was hospitalized and that makes five in a week." Scott asked. Chris patted Scott's shoulder and smiled.

"They've been ok until now. They were just... difficult with each other because they couldn't understand. They'll sort it out themselves. Wouldn't make sense for mates to go around killing each other." Chris smiled when Scott signed out a relieved breath and nodded.

"I need you to get to the hospital, the Sheriff has the evidence from the last attack but he can't share it with you once it's in the station." Stiles said as he came over and grabbed his jacket , without looking at Chris who raised his eyebrows. "I'll come with you."

"I don't know where it's supposed to be!" You admitted as They drove past the address on the map for the second time.

"I'm telling you that isn't a turn off so maybe you should call Stiles and ask for directions again." Theo said as he sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"I'm getting out. Maybe it's on a path or something." You offered up. He groaned as you hopped out of his truck and vanished off in one direction while he had to find somewhere to turn around on the narrow road.

As he parked the truck he frowned, fumbling through his pockets for his phone. "(Y/N)?" He asked.

"I found the place but it's locked? There's a note on the door that says talk to each other. I don't know what's going on though." You said and hung up. Theo pulled the key, Scott had given him to get into the room, out of his pocket.

"Of course this is the only way you can keep her safe and get us to talk to each other." Theo grumbled to himself as he started to trudge to where you were waiting for him. "This is going to be one hell of a talk."
