it had been one month since you left the pack and joined theo's side. all of them were beyond heartbroken. you'd all came to be one big family, but even family can turn against you.
malia was the most hurt out of all of them. the two of you began dating shortly after her trip to eichen house when she was turned back into her human form. you helped catch her up on everything she missed and taught her how to be human. you taught her how to truly love someone.
she couldn't understand why you would leave. and she'd never understand why you, the warmest and kindest person she knew, would side with someone evil.
the pack was making their way through the woods, searching for any sign of theo. the both of you went off the grid and scott was worried you guys were planning something.
the sound of a gun clicking was heard and everyone froze, looking up to find theo holding a gun towards them. "took you all long enough, we started to think you wouldn't show up."
you made your way to stand with the boy, your face blank as you stared at them. you thought when you joined theo's side, it'd protect the pack. he wanted scott's power but when you offered to share yours - the power of a phoenix - he agreed to leave them alone. you hated yourself for believing it and for hurting the ones you loved most, especially malia tate.
by the time you realized he had lied, it was too late. he was stronger than you now and you knew you couldn't leave without him killing you. but death was better than being his puppet and killing your friends, you supposed.
without even thinking about it, you moved quickly and hit the gun out of his hand. he growled lowly before shoving his claws into your stomach, twisting them and pushing you to the ground.
scott quickly tackled the boy, punching him hard enough to knock him unconscious the same time as lydia let out a deafening scream. all movements stopped as they looked at you.
scott kneeled beside you and tried to take your pain but it didn't work. he took in a shaky breath as he knew what that meant.
you coughed up blood as you stared at the sky. whenever you were scared, you'd look at the sky until you calmed down, and right now you were terrified. you didn't tell them that, though.
"i-i'm so sorry." you let a tear slip down your cheek. "he promised h-he wouldn't hurt you guys. i didn't want to betray you."
malia crouched beside you, letting out a choked sob as she moved your hair out of your face. "you don't need to apologize. you've always been and still are apart of this pack." scott stated firmly.
he stood up, giving you and the werecoyote a moment alone. malia instantly grabbed your body and sat you in her lap. "i should have known. i should have helped get you out of his grip." she wiped the tear that fell from her eye. "but i didn't and i'm sorry. i'm sorry i couldn't save you."
"this isn't your fault. it's m-mine." you gathered enough strength to lift her hand and place a soft kiss on her knuckles. "i love you, malia."
"and i love you."
your eyes slowly closed after she spoke those three short words, your body falling limp in the arms of your love.
