Written for Day two of @sterekweek-2018​: Vampires! Please enjoy your 2.6k of Vampire!Stiles very, very loosely based on this post.

The howls echo through the trees. Stiles clutches Lydia’s arm more tightly and quickens his stride. They are coming closer.

A triumphant howl rises up as they break through the tree line and Stiles bites his lower lip so hard that it should have bled. If only lack of blood hadn’t been their main issue at the moment. He risks a glance at Lydia next to him and worries at how pale her skin is, translucent almost. Things really are getting desperate.

They only make it a few steps away from the forest before the wolves crest the hill in front of them. There’s four of them but Stiles counted more howls earlier. Lydia is subtly angling herself so that she’s facing partly backwards at least, so she must have noticed the same. Good. They are weakened, dangerously so, but that doesn’t make them easy prey.

It’s something the leader of the pack seems to be aware of, too, snarling at them, but keeping a careful distance and making sure the others stay away, too. Stiles gives them a moment to posture and then he straightens himself to his full height, making sure that the light hits his eyes just so. The largest wolf’s eyes flare red in response and Stiles tilts his head ever so slightly in acknowledgment.

Being able to deal with the alpha directly is a relief at least, even if he isn’t entirely sure who the alpha actually is at the moment. They’ve been on the run for a while, with nothing more but rumours as news and no way to confirm or disprove any of them. There were talks of a fire, of madness and monstrosity, murders and resurrections, a lot of it very over the top and distorted by distance and time. But one thing everyone agreed upon was that the pack was settled again and stronger than ever. So Stiles stands tall and says:

“Alpha Hale, the history between my clan and your pack spans centuries and our agreement goes back almost as long. My sister and I have come to call it in.”
