Soulmate Of A True Alpha
Scene 53

Stiles is lying on his bed, finally asleep. I get up slowly and then teleport to the school. Why didn’t they do anything? The police should have taken Donovan’s body away! I check that no-one’s there and then I enter the library. It takes my breath away. Everything’s gone. The pipes from the scaffolding, the b***d and above all, Donovan! Where is he? I approach the scaffolding but I notice something. A liquid on one of the pipes. I run my finger over it and use the torch on my phone to get a better look. It’s b***d. No doubt about it. Donovan was there. Has he gone or… Did someone take him?

I hear a noise in the hallway so I quickly teleport to Stiles’ room.

Stiles: You left?

I jump. He’s half asleep

Me: I was just checking something. Go to sleep, you need to rest

Stiles: Come to sleep then

I smile softly and go to snuggle in his arms. Despite the comfort of the place, I can’t get to sleep. Too many questions on my mind, but the worst thing is that I can’t talk to anyone about it.

The day after

We head for the door but I can’t get there. I don’t want to leave here without telling him. I just can’t

Stiles: What are you doing?

Me: Follow me.

I go into the living room followed by Stiles and take his hands. How do I tell him Donovan’s missing?

Me: Stiles… Last night… I called the police to report Donovan’s body but… When they came, they left almost five minutes later without Donovan so last night I went back and…

The words just won’t come out of my mouth. Just hearing Donovan’s name sends him into a panic so his…

Stiles: What was that about?

I take a deep breath and blurt out

Me: The body was gone. There was nothing left.

He doesn’t react. His gaze goes blank and then it mixes with something I’ve hardly ever seen in his eyes, anger.

Stiles: Are you serious?! Why are you telling me this now?!!?

Me: What?

Stiles: I’m meeting Scott in a few minutes! How can I not tell him that I killed Donovan now that you’re telling me?!!?

Me: Stiles! It was self-defense, he’ll understand!

Stiles: No! No he won’t! His code of life is to never kill anyone! He will never accept that I killed anyone!!! Never!

He starts walking in circles, scratching the back of his neck. I close my eyes to stop my emotions coming out. His gaze softens and he goes back upstairs without a care in the world. I fall onto the sofa and drop a tear or two before teleporting myself out of this house.

Pdv Stiles

I write “Donovan dead” on my board. He has to be dead. I look at his two words, then add a “maybe” but quickly erase it before dropping to the floor. I want to tear my head off with it. I open my eyes again and… No, you don’t! Hannah! I run out of the room and down the stairs, but she’s gone. She’s gone. What have I done? She must be really angry with me now…
