Chapter 3

"Malia, calm down. Calm down, okay?" Stiles said calmly as he stood up and grabbed Malia by her shoulders.

"I saw him in the woods," Malia actually growled as she pointed at Alex.

"Why would you be here for him? He's my Actual cousin, Alex. Alex, this is Malia she's...mineee" Stiles spoke quickly while trying to defuse the tension in the air.

"Why are your eyes blue?" Alex asked suddenly. He could already tell that this girl was like him, or at least knew something. She might even have knowledge about where he came from and if there are others.

"Well, you see she has these really cool contacts that-," Stiles tried to explain, but was once again interrupted.

"I'm a coyote. What are you?" Malia said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. She then growled and stepped forward trying to fight Alex.

Stiles attempted to hold her back, but was completely failing as she continued to walk forward.

"I'm a tiger," Alex replied, causing both Stiles and Malia to stare at him in surprise.

"Okay! Can we just talk for a second, please!" Stiles yelled while waving both of his hands through the air. He turned to stare at Alex and blinked, "What are you again?"

"I...don't know for sure," Alex said slowly as he looked down at his own hands.

"What do you mean? How don't you not know what you are?" Stiles asked in disbelief.

"Are you a werewolf? Or...a kitsune?" Malia asked while looking towards Stiles.

Not understanding what she was asking, Alex shook his head, "If you mean about what you are or what I am. Then no. I have no idea."

"So...your a were-tiger?" Stiles asked, as Alex looked at him while raising his eyebrow.

"I guess so," Alex said, feeling odd saying that aloud.

"First of all, I'm very offended you didn't tell me," Stiles said, rather quickly accepting his cousin was a supernatural creature. "What the fuck? Is there a were-squirrel out there? This is getting ridiculous," he yelled out, releasing a lot of built up frustration.

"How do you know your a were-tiger?" Malia asked curiously.

"It's easier just to show you," Alex replied and suddenly stretched his shoulders and took a very deep breath.

Crack!

A loud snap echoed through the house, and Alex hunched slightly as pure white fur with dark stripes sprouted from his body. Falling down to all fours, Alex continued to grow larger as his body grew powerful muscles and a tail sprouted from his back. From his mouth huge, deadly fangs appeared as he released a ground shaking roar.

This transformation took mere moments as a humongous 900 lbs Bengal tiger appeared where Alex stood only moments ago.

"That...do you see the giant tiger too?" Stiles asked Malia as he pointed at the white tiger that was slowly walking towards him.

"I do. You can't?" Malia said, confused that Stiles couldn't see the tiger in front of him.

The giant tiger-Alex, slowly stalked around Stiles while licking his teeth and moving his tails back and forth. As Alex turned, his tail smacked Stiles in the head, almost causing him to fall flat on his face.

"Okay! You can turn back now, we're already very, very terrified," Stiles yelled while trying to steady himself.

Alex seemed to half-chuck/half-growled as he slowly turned back into a human, but completely nude.

Unintentionally showing off his extremely toned and muscular body, Alex rolled his shoulder and cracked his neck as he smiled, "So, does anyone mind explaining a few very crucial details to me?"

Stiles and Malia were both staring at Alex in shock. Malia seemed to be looking extra hard at him, only for her eyes to be covered by Stiles hand.

"Put some clothes, you exhibitionist. Then we'll talk," Stiles glared while fighting as Malia tried to remove his hands from her eyes.

After finally putting on some clothes, Alex sat down with Malia and Stiles as they tried to explain everything supernatural about Beacon Hills. They told Alex about about werewolves, shapeshifters, hunters, and even the Nogitsune. Pretty much everything supernatural that ever happened here at Beacon Hills.

"And that pretty much sums it up," Stiles shrugged and nodded his head, as he sat next to Malia on the couch.

"That's....fucking crazy," Alex sighed as he rubbed his eyes. Although he wanted to believe that this was all fake, Alex knew that it was all probably true. He always hoped that there were more people like him in the world, but didn't think it was this crazy.

This is some serious Twilight shit.

"So have you always been a were-tiger, or were you bitten?" Stiles asked as his brain was just brimming full of different questions he wanted to ask. "What type of tiger are? Do you have problems with the moon too? Is catnip like a drug to you? When did you first transform? Were you bitten?"

"White Bengal, no, I'm not sure, when I was 8, and no," Alex answered quickly, already use to Stiles curious and borderline obsessive nature. "I'm pretty sure I was born like this,"

"You can fully transform. Can you teach me how?" Malia asked suddenly, seeming extremely hopeful.

"Sure, I guess. I use to think I was the only one though," Alex exclaimed feeling a suffocating weight lifted off his shoulders. The fear of being the only one of his kind had always been one of his greatest fears.

"Did Aunt-your Mom know what you are?" Stiles asked slowly, knowing Alex's mother was a sensitive subject.

"Yeah...she helped me through a lot of the transformations and learning control. Didn't even get mad me the one time I almost ate our horse," Alex smiled brightly at that memory. Although she wasn't mad, she did make him muck out the stables for a whole week.

"Ha-ha...that's extremely disgusting," Stiles weakly chuckled.

"I ate an entire moose once," Maila said proudly, like it was an achievement.

"Remember, people don't normally bring that up in a conversation," Stiles told Malia, like he was speaking to a child.

"So your other...supernatural friends, do you want to go talk to them?" Alex asked and stood up, "Especially with your 'Alpha' Scott."

"I think Scott's definitely gonna wanna know about this. We already have to deal with Derek being gone," Stiles sighed as if the issues were physically piling on him.

"Are we still going camping in Mexico?" Malia asked suddenly, causing Alex to look up in surprise.

"Your going to camping in Mexico?" Alex asked, confused.

Stiles quickly shook his head, "No, no, we're not going camping in Mexico. We're looking for Derek-."

"The angry guy?" Alex asked, remembering what Stiles told him.

"Yep, that's him. We think that a group of Mexican hunters have him," Stiles explained.

"That's...weird," Alex slowly nodded his head and began to wonder if running away was still an option.

"Your telling me," Stiles agreed as they both fell completely silent.

"I'm gonna go call Scott," Malia said as she stood up.

Watching as Malia stood up, Alex looked back towards Stiles and nodded his head, obviously impressed.

"Your sleeping with her?" Alex asked, easily smelling their scents on each other.

"Yup," Stiles proudly answered.

"Respect."
