Chapter Text
It all started one day late at night when Stiles had gotten separated from Scott after they were searching for Jackson who broke free
"If I end up dead tomorrow morning, I'm going curse that stupid lizard Kanima or whatever Jackson is"
Stiles was beyond pissed that all he did was leave for a moment only to get a message from Scott saying that he had loss Jackson who they had chained up to the inside of a prisoner transport
"I knew we should have just fed him to the wolves" Stiles said referring to Derek and his pack who very much wanted to kill Jackson
While he flashed his torchlight Stiles couldn't help but accidently step on a weak surface part of the trail causing him to fall rolling down a slope
"arghh" he yelled in pain feeling his arm smash against a rock causing it to bleed
The fall had injured his legs as he held his right arm in pain stumbling around with the torch inbetween his teeth
"*growl*" in the woods he could hear a growl from something out in the woods
What colour remained in Stiles quickly drained away as he flashed a light to the figure of an animal approaching him
'At least it isn't a cougar' he thought to himself seeing that it was a coyote not that it was much better
Stiles tried backing up from it scared not being able to run or put up a proper fight due to his injuries making him an easy target for a predator such as a coyote
It stopped coming closer stopping a couple meters away from Stiles watching his behaviour
He noticed that this creature had to most beautiful blue eyes that he had ever seen as it stared into his the depths of his soul with a gaze
For some reason he didn't feel any sort of hostility from it and while it was feral and dangerous Stiles could see that it was only watching him
The pain from injuries began to sink into him causing him to drop the flashlight slumping onto the ground unable to stand anymore
'shit shit' he panicked internally seeing the coyote getting closer and closer
"Don't eat me, I taste terrible I promise" he said trying to reason with the animal that couldn't even understand English
Before he had a chance to say anything it was only inches away from it and a sharp pain welled up in Stiles as it sank it's teeth into his shoulder
Stiles fainted from the excess pain and blood loss as he could see it's glowing blue eyes watching him with some sort of anticipation before he passed out
Surprisingly instead of ending up as coyote food Stiles woke up in a hospital having been found bleeding out in the dark by Scott
"Did you see a coyote?" Stiles asked
"No I found you by the strong scent of blood" he pointed to his arm that was currently bandaged up
Stiles went to check his shoulder only to find that there wasn't any sign of an injury almost as if he had hallucinated seeing the coyote
"Stiles you should probably shower as soon as you can, you stink of wildlife" Scott joked
What came after he was discharged was that Jackson had gone to his dad who got a restraining order for Scott and Stiles making it so they could not go within a certain distance of Jackson
He believed that the encounter was probably not real since he didn't feel any different besides the fact that those with super smell kept telling him that he smelled funny especially Scott and Derek
Stiles had no idea what was going on the two of them because Scott would force him to wear his hoodie in order to hide the 'scent' or Derek would do something similar with his shirts
It was kind of strange but Stiles didn't think much of it since wolves were naturally territorial and whatever happened to him that night had caused both of them acting strange
Some time had passed ultimately ending up with Gerard kidnapping Stiles placing him in the Argent's basement after the lacrosse game
"Let me get you out"
He reached out for the metal chains that were binding Boyd and Erica only for him to get an electrical shock
"My boy did you really think I brought you here to free some werewolves" the voice of Allison's grandfather entered the room
"I think you're underestimating me, do you really think I would lose to an old ret-" Stiles didn't get a chance to finish as he received a gut punch
"Boy you should really.. respect... your... elders" Gerard kicking and pummelling him inbetween attacks
Stiles tried to fight back but every attempt ended up completely useless until he could something snap inside of him
It was only for a moment but a burst of power rushed into him his eyes turning blue as power rushed from his shoulder before travelling throughout his whole body
He slammed his body against the old man sending him flying into a wall knocking him out old
"*pants* I don't know what that was but let's get you two out of here" Stiles said feeling the injuries seep in again as the power faded
Using his analysis he looked around the room quickly figuring out what was causing the electrical currents before shutting it off
"I owe you one man" Boyd thanked Stiles as he got freed
"Thank you Batman" Erica gave him a hug which ended as Stiles winced in pain
"You two let's just get out before he wakes up or other hunter's show up"
Stiles got out with Erica and Boyd supporting him as they quickly got out of the home
Not long after that Stiles was dragged along by Lydia to go and help out with Jackson who was now evolving
Luckily for Stiles all he had to do was give a couple snarky remarks as Scott managed to outsmart Gerard by switching his medicine with mountain ash before turning him into a werewolf
The only thing that Stiles managed to learn was that Gerard had referred to him as a mated one or something along those lines during the encounter
Stiles finally had the courage to confront Derek about it several days later once things died down
"Derek, you're wise in the ways of supernatural bullshit. Does the term Mated ring a bell" he asked walking into his loft
Derek's ears seemed to perk finally understanding why him and Scott had been so 'protective' of Stiles which was all because they were naturally defensive of someone claiming Stiles as their own
"You've been claimed by a were creature" he said bluntly
"umm what?" he yelled shocked and confused
