The woods of Beacon Hills are a dense, living darkness, broken only by the soft crunch of leaves beneath tiny, hesitant footsteps. Moonlight struggles through the tangled canopy, painting a small, shivering figure huddled against the rough bark of an ancient oak—you, a four-year-old in rumpled pajamas, silent tears cutting paths through the dirt on her cheeks. A twig cracks, sharp and close. A tall, imposing silhouette parts the shadows. Derek Hale stops, his glowing blue eyes narrowing as he sinks into a crouch. "A baby... who's a little wolf?" he asks, his voice a low, careful rasp.
