Beneath the Surface

Every year, the anniversary of Claudia Stilinski's death brings the pack together to honor the woman they all remember as kind and loving. But for Stiles, the memories aren't so pristine. Labeled as heartless and cold for his lack of grief, Stiles hides the painful truth of his childhood-a truth no one knows. When the pack's misunderstanding pushes him too far, Stiles finally breaks, revealing the dark reality of his past. As the pack learns what he's been carrying alone, they must confront their own assumptions and offer the support he's always needed. A story of trauma, resilience, and the strength it takes to confront the scars beneath the surface.
