I don't own Teen Wolf, it belongs to MTV and its creators.

A/N: Hello to those of you reading. For those who have already read this I've went back and edited the first two chapters, correcting some grammatical errors. This is a story I once abandoned by now have to spark back to finish after watching the latest season of Teen Wolf. Hope you all enjoy it. Set in S2

Chapter One:

Beacon Hills

Rain fell from the sky over the forest in a torrential downpour. All around was the soothing sound of the rain washing over the earth. The peace is broken by the sound of engines, steadily getting closer. On the road cut in the middle of the forest is the sound of two vehicles driving over a decline in the road.

The vehicles that crested over the road were an SUV and sports car, a forest green Range Rover and a midnight blue Corvette ZR1 following close behind each other. Inside the first vehicle through the tinted windows were a man and woman, the man driving and the woman asleep in the passenger seat with soft music playing in the background.

In the next car there were a boy and girl in their late teens with rock music blasting in the car while they followed the SUV. The two looked like brother and sister simply enjoying each other's company. As there was a lull in the music the two looked ahead outside to see a "Welcome to Beacon Hills" sign fly by them, officially declaring they had entered the city's limits. The two teens looked at each with tentative smiles before they both stared ahead with determined faces, ready to face what came whatever next.

Gabriel Williams loosened his grip on the steering wheel as they passed the boundary into Beacon Hills. He was glad they had made it safely to here from the airport. He idly looked around at all the forest surrounding the town. His dad had picked this place well; it would make it easy for him to shift and roam around here without being sighted. And if their intel was correct then there have very few other werewolves around in recent years since most of the Hales died in that tragic fire years ago.

Soon enough they were in they were passing through the heart of the town getting a view of most of the buildings. Gabriel was grateful it wasn't too small a town, one of those 'where everybody knows everybody' kind of towns.

"Soooo..."

Gabriel gave a slight start; he had briefly forgotten that his sister was with him. She had been quiet throughout most of the trip

He turned to look at her. "So what?" he asked raising an eyebrow

"Well we're here. Beacon Hills, California of all places with our parents taking a break off from work and us going to high school for first time. All of us getting away from our normally hectic lives for a bit. What do you think about all this?" she asked with curiosity and a touch of concern on her face.

Gabriel glanced at his sister for a second before looking back at the road. Inwardly he smiled, it was just like her not to mince words with him and get straight to the point. Something most people weren't able to do because he usually came off as intimidating. He really missed that about her.

Outwardly, he sighed. "I don't know Katara. It feels great to get away from...there, but I know I'm happy to be around you, mom and dad. I also suppose a small town like Beacon Hills isn't a bad place to recover. It's alright I guess is the best way to put it," he shrugged his shoulders and looked back at her. She had a contemplative look as she considered his words, but nodded accepting them.

She then gave him a mischievous smile. "I wonder how much trouble we can stir up in this little town." Gabriel rolled his eyes smiling slightly and gave a little laugh.

"I don't think mom and dad would appreciate it if we shook things up too badly here."

Katara pouted. "Aww, but you remember how much fun it was to shake things up in Paris? We turned that city inside out and gave it a kick in its ass. Well at least we did to a select few."

Gabriel snorted. "Yeah uncovering that one of the city's most prestigious school's was a vampire breeding ground, and located near the heart of the city no less was definitely a shocker for them. Hope this place doesn't have nearly as much drama."

His sister was about to reply when he noticed that his parents ahead of them were turning off onto a more private road.

"I think we're almost there." he indicated by nodding his head forward. She nodded turning to look out the window.

In a matter of minutes the house or rather mansion came into view. It was a sight to behold, at least three stories high with a structure that hinted at Italian roots. The drive way was circular with a gleaming marble fountain in the middle of it. There was a four car garage which he and his parents drove towards. His father he assumed pressed the clicker opening two of the doors allowing them to pull in.

Once parked he turned to grin at his sister who beamed back at him. Oh yeah this was going to be awesome. From what their parents had told them, the house used to belong to some big time celebrity who used to come to Beacon Hills to hide out, but due to some money troubles or other had to sell the house.

Getting out of the car he saw his parents were waiting for them by the door leading into the house. Luckily for them all their stuff had been sent in advance to the house along with it being fully furnished. All they had to do was unpack their clothes and other belongings.

Approaching them he saw his father, Charles, smile at them. "You kids ready to see the house we'll be living in for a while?" he said in his smooth deep baritone.

"Definitely looking forward to seeing it!" exclaimed Katara with a huge grin.

"That's good to hear," replied his mother, Elizabeth, in her melodic voice. She turned with an imploring look at him, a look also mirrored by his father. He gave a thin nervous smile.

"I'm ready to see our new home." They both smiled back at him. His father turned and opened the door. After he switched on the lights everyone piled in behind him. Gabriel being the last one in closed the door as his father deactivated the alarm then rearmed it along with turning on the houses lights.

They walked through the hallway passing several doors on the way until they came to a small set of stairs leading upwards. Going up the stairs they entered into what was a lavish living room. There was a high ceiling with a grand sparkling crystal chandelier which lit up the entire room.

There were dark cherry wood floors complete with suede couches and a huge fireplace. They walked through the living room towards the kitchen. It was very sophisticated with touchpad technology all throughout from the stove to the refrigerator all done in black and chrome colors. There was an archway that connected the kitchen to a spacious dining room.

"There are twelve rooms in total with most of them on the first and second floor. Your mother and I will be on the third floor where the master bedroom is. We took the liberty of picking and decorating your room for you," Charles explained as we walked up another flight of stairs to the second floor. He took the lead pausing at an intersection to turn and look at Gabriel and Katara.

"Gabriel your room is the third on the left. Katara your room is the second on the right." With that his father put his arm around his mother who smiled at them both before they moved to retire for the night. Gabriel and Katara bid them goodnight as the watched them ascend the stairs.

They then turned and grinned at each other.

"Well this is it big brother. The home we'll be crashing in for a while," remarked Katara with barely suppressed excitement.

Gabriel gave a warm smile. "Yeah this is it. I guess me and you can go into town tomorrow and see what they have to offer?" he asked.

She gave a megawatt smile in response before walking over to give him a hug. He fiercely hugged her back, even lifting her off the ground. Setting her back down Gabriel gave big smile, one he hadn't produced in quite a while.

This seemed to cheer her up even more because she gave him another quick hug before bouncing off towards her room tossing a goodnight over her shoulder.

Gabriel watched as his sister took off, entering her room and closing her door before he turned to enter his.

Turning the handle and swinging the door open, Gabriel flicked on the light and had to pause for a second.

Woah. Thank you mom and dad.

Truly he could say this was one of the best rooms he had ever seen and had the pleasure to be living in. Just at a glance he could see his parents had put a lot of thought into decorating the room for him.

The room was extremely spacious but what really caught his eye were the walls. It was like two nature paintings had been fused together as one. The left side was a forest painted in the early morning light during the spring, the leaves a vibrant green with different animals dispersed throughout the scenery and a flowing creek through the middle of it all. On the left side which met the right in the middle was the same forest except in winter and at night with a full moon shining bright, the ground covered in snow and the only animal about was a massive silver wolf with purple eyes.

Gabriel smirked at the sight. Whoever made this had one a wonderful job in painting his wolf in a majestic light, though the eye color wasn't exactly correct.

Moving further into the room, closing the door behind him, he took in the rest of his room. His bed was in the middle where both the murals met. It was king size with the frame made of a black wood with a black, blue and silver color scheme with silk sheets and an Egyptian cotton coverlet.

There were two end tables on either side of the bed, also black each with a blue and silver lamp. On the left side was a massive work desk meant for his computer and studying. Beside that was also a pretty nice sized bookshelf.

In the corner was a door that upon further inspection lead to a bathroom. It was decorated in blue and silver with marble tile. It was about half the size of the bedroom with a massive shower big enough to fit at least ten people by his estimates with benches and a Jacuzzi tub big enough to fit five. There was also a huge mirror with two sinks under it and the toilet was a few feet away from everything in a corner by a small window.

If he had to guess, this room was probably a second master bedroom.

He exited the bathroom taking in the rest of the room. There were two black couches a few inches away on either side of the door facing the pair of windows on either side of his bed.

Finally on the right was an artificial fireplace decorated with huge stones instead of brick. In a corner were several of his boxes unpacked per his instructions. On side of the fireplace was two double doors which when opened lead into a walk-in closet already filled with his clothes, shoes and other accessories.

Grabbing a pair of pajamas he went into his bathroom and took a quick shower. Stepping out of the shower he wrapped a towel around his waist and went to the mirror. Rubbing his hand around it to get rid of the fog he examined himself.

He was 6'4 with sculpted cheekbones, dark golden skin, a mix of his father's olive skin tone and his mother's brown one. He was quite muscled but not overly so and hair was jet black and curly, with eyes were a dark purple. A trait passed down through his family to a select few.

Gabriel was what most people would call tall, dark and handsome, even beautiful and he would agree though not to be arrogant. Just he was aware of the affect he had on both men and women. He took a moment to take himself in. The smooth unblemished skin that didn't bear the scars from injuries and other traumas he had suffered over the years, even recent ones. He ran his hand over his jaw feeling the stubble starting to grow. He would need to shave soon.

Pulling away from the mirror he dressed in his pajamas and exited the bathroom. He was tired, the flights to the States from Europe had taken almost twenty hours, not to mention the drive to the house had taken over two hours by itself. However, before he went to sleep he decided to set up his desktop computer. His laptop was probably still in his car if his sister didn't have it.

Moving towards the pile of boxes in the corner he picked up the box with 'computer' sprawled in his messy handwriting. Walking towards his desk he set the box down and began pulling everything out. Gabriel spent the next twenty minutes assembling his computer and setting up the Wi-Fi connection. Luckily for him someone had already installed the Internet, so all he had to do was connect.

Yawning he moved towards his bed pulling back the covers before sinking down preparing for another restless night of sleep.

Wake up. Wake up my little pet. I know you can hear me. Don't think pretending to be asleep will get you anywhere. So it would be in your best interests if you WAKE UP!

Gabriel sat up with a gasp. His body was tense as he took in his surroundings, eyes a dark red flecked with orange as he swiftly scoured the room. As he looked around the room his memory of the night before started to return causing him to relax and fall back onto the bed. Covering his face with his hands Gabriel let out a sigh.

Turning he looked at the clock on his bedside table and saw it was 8:00 a.m. Letting out another sigh he got up from his bed sluggishly moving to get ready for the day.

After picking out his clothes he went into the bathroom to go about his morning routine. Emerging from the shower he dried off proceeded to get dressed in a white undershirt with a orange polo over it, slightly baggy dark blue jeans complete with a black belt and black polo boots. After brushing his teeth and combing his hair he was out the bathroom.

He was almost out the door before he remembered his phone and the family ring. Pocketing the phone he put the ring on while taking a moment to admire it. It was blue 'W' surrounded by silver with flecks on gold, with a rounded square of small blue diamonds around it. The ring was centuries old, passed down through the generations, though it looked as new as the day it was forged. A result of a powerful magic cast on it that still held to this day.

The ring was just one of many family heirlooms. One was a necklace that his sister always wore that was just like his ring except hers was more elaborately done. Moving back towards his door he could smell breakfast being cooked downstairs and hear that the rest of the family was already up.

Closing his door behind him he leisurely made his way downstairs. Entering the kitchen he could see his father cooking pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs, and grits. There was also a pan of hot biscuits cooling on the counter.

His mother and sister were sitting at the table enjoying breakfast and chatting. In the middle of the table was a bowl of mixed fruit; probably put down by his mother, she always made sure they ate something healthy.

His sister was the first to see him. "Good morning Gabe!" she exclaimed with a bright grin that was infectious. Gabriel couldn't help but grin right back at her.

"Good morning sis, mom, dad." His father smiled at him in greeting before turning back to cook. His mother got up as he approached the table and gave him a hug.

"How did you sleep last night?" she inquired with a warm smile.

Gabriel returned it. "I slept pretty good."

"That's great sweetheart. Sit down and grab a plate. I know you must be hungry."

"Starving." He looked over at his dad, "You need any help dad?"

Charles turned around and shook his head. "No, I've got it covered you just sit down and eat." Nodding Gabriel sat down and started to pile his plate up with everything within reach especially the meat. He was a growing wolf-boy after all.

"What are you kids going to do today?" asked Elizabeth.

"We're going into town to see what there is around here." responded Katara. Gabriel nodded as his mouth was full.

"That sounds fun." said Charles as he brought over the rest of the food. "Me and your mother will be spending the rest of the day getting our affairs in order." Both Katara and Gabriel nodded at this.

After that there was silence as the family finished eating their breakfast. Charles and Elizabeth were the first to leave the table, wishing the kids good luck as they went to their shared office. Gabriel was the last to finish eating as he ate the most while his sister waited for him to finish.

Once done they went downstairs to the garage and entered Gabriel's car. As he started up the engine and pressed the button to lift the garage door he heard his sister sigh.

"What's wrong?"

Katara leaned back in her seat with a pout. "I wish I had my own car already."

Gabriel gave a small chuckle as pulled out the garage. Putting the car in drive once he'd backed up enough he responded, "Just three more months and you'll be able to get your license. You know you can get your permit now right? Mom and dad would get you a car if you had it."

"It's not the same thing as having a license. I want to be a licensed driver when I get my car," Katara said with a sniff.

"Okay, okay. I get it." he said in a placating tone. Seeing that the road was mostly deserted except for a few passing cars he decided to do a little speeding. Pressing down on the pedal harder he brought the car to 65 mph though the sign said only 50mph. His sister laughed in delight. He grinned. She knew how much he liked to speed. She was the only one who knew that wherever they went he would always get in on the street racing action in the area.

Entering the town in record time he slowed down to the speed limit. The town or rather little city in some ways had a lot to offer. There were many of usual fast food chains around along with the town's own original restaurants. Of the businesses around there were again the chains such as, Dollar General, Walmart, Hibbett Sports, Stage, Snap Fitness, etc. All in all the town had plenty to do within it which meant you didn't have to leave town to have fun. It also didn't hurt that a mall/movie theater was only about an hour or two away from here.

On his sister's insistence he stopped at a cafe nestled next to a bookstore. Entering the cafe behind his sister he noticed it had cozy vibe to it. He saw there were people drinking their beverages either chatting with friends, surfing the web or reading. Moving towards the counter he watch his sister order a caramel frappuccino. She turned around looking at his expectantly with an innocent smile. Gabriel rolled his eyes and ordered a vanilla latte with a chocolate chip cookie then paid for their order. He loved his sweets as much as his sister loved making him pay for her things.

Finding a table near the widow they sat and enjoyed their purchases. The window gave a great view of the town as it sat on the corner of one of its main intersections. He watched as the town came to life with its occupants going about their day.

Taking the opportunity he extended his senses around the area trying to feel for any supernatural presences. He searched for a few minutes but got nothing. Finishing the last bite of his cookie and drinking the last of his latte, he felt a tingle up his spine, alerting him of to two presences in the vicinity.

Looking back out the window with intense focus he let his power guide him to them. He followed the trail down the street towards the police station. Narrowing his eyes he saw two teens leave the station before entering a Jeep. The trail ended at them and followed as they drove away passing the shop. As they passed he got a glimpse at one of the passengers. A dark haired teen, at least sixteen, with tan skin brown eyes and a crooked jaw line with a mole on his chin.

Before the jeep had completely passed by the store, one of the boys looked in his direction, their eyes meeting for the briefest of seconds. It was more than enough time for Gabriel as he felt his inner wolf stir. A werewolf, a Beta, still a pup to be exact. Gabriel hummed as he processed this. The moment he went to school that wolf or any others that were his age would be able to sense him out. Maybe not exactly be able to pinpoint him with his ability to conceal himself but they would know that another wolf was around.

Looks like he was going to have to introduce himself earlier than he would have liked. Though perhaps that was for the best.

"Gabriel?"

Gabriel looked up to see his sister giving him a concerned look, raising her eyebrow questioningly.

He gave her a small smile. "Sorry about that. I was just scanning the area. I found a young Beta along with another presence, though I wasn't able to pinpoint where the other one was." he explained.

Katara nodded in understanding. "That's good that we know who some are already. Did you get a good look at the one you found?" she questioned.

Gabriel shook his head. "Yeah, he was a teenager, about 15 or 16 years old by the looks of it. He was in a Jeep with a friend, though he seems to be human."

Katara patted her hands on the table. "Well then. Unless you have somewhere else you want to go then I think it's time we head back home. I really need to unpack my things."

Gabriel nodded and got up throwing away his trash as left the cafe. Entering the car along with his sister he left the town at a sedate pace before picking up speed once again. His sister turned the car's stereo up blasting Daft Punk's new song 'Get Lucky'. Gabriel grinned nodding his head to the music and singing alongside his sister.

Soon they were back at the house with Gabriel pulling into the garage. His sister was up and out the car the moment the car stopped making Gabriel shake his head. Closing the garage door behind him he went upstairs to his room.

Sitting down in the chair at his computer he went about checking his email and social networking accounts, replying to a few people. After that he blew a few hours playing video games on the computer. Growing bored with that he got up and moved on to finally complete a task he had been putting off; unpacking the last three boxes in his room.

Walking towards the corner of the room where they were he crouched down and opened the first box labeled 'supplies' and 'fragile'. Inside were various jars with different kinds of contents ranging from liquids, solids, powers, etc. These were all of his magic supplies, or at least what he was able to bring with him. Though with the abundance of forest in the area, except for a few special plants, he would be able to replace most of these. Though he would definitely have to build his own greenhouse for convenience.

Standing up with the boxes stacked on top of each other, Gabriel looked around his room. Walking towards the fireplace he placed the boxes down on the floor before placing his fingers on the stones on the fireplace. Moving his fingers along the edges he finally came to an inseam on one of them. Pressing the stone he heard a click.

Stepping back he watched as the fireplace slid away from the wall to the side. Picking the boxes back up he walked forward, making his way inside the secret space with the fireplace moving back to its original position. The room was sizeable. Both the side walls held weapons of all different kinds ranging from swords, axes, guns, staffs, shields, etc. Moving towards the back he set the boxes down on a table and began to unload the jars onto the shelves on the back wall.

Once done to he took another look around his 'laboratory' of sorts. It was made to his specifications with silver paneling and bright blue lights that illuminated the place. His family crest sat in the middle of the floor. Occupying the floor were lab stations like those found in a science/medical facility with a long examination table off to the side. Gabriel moved around surveying the rest of the room making sure everything was there before leaving. After setting up a security code, he reopened the door entering back into his room.

As the fireplace moved back he made a mental note to add his own magical security to the room and soon. Gabriel plopped down on his bed staring at the ceiling. He really needed to meet the alpha in town. Derek Hale.

The sooner he got this over with the smoother things would go for him here in Beacon Hills. Sighing Gabriel moved to start his meditation. His body would rest while his mind would be at work setting up a plan for his encounter with the town's resident alpha, along with sorting out...other things.

Within minutes Gabriel was deep into his mind, while setting a mental alarm to wake him up at 9 p.m.
