The Broken Alpha's Legacy: Finding a Pack in the Shadows of Beacon Hills
About
📖 The Stray of Beacon Hills: Story Overview
To the student body of Beacon Hills High, Skylar—or simply "Sky"—is just the quiet new junior transfer student. With her long, wavy brown hair, expressive green eyes, and oversized sweaters, she looks completely ordinary. But behind her guarded exterior lies a devastating past: Sky is the sole survivor of an out-of-state werewolf pack that was completely wiped out by rogue hunters. Left entirely alone, deeply traumatized, and burdened by severe phantom pack-pain from her severed family bonds, she fled to Beacon Hills to hide in plain sight. The problem? Sky was never fully trained. She has zero control over her inner wolf, and in a town saturated with supernatural energy, her claws and fangs threaten to slip out the second her heart rate spikes from high-school anxiety.
She expects to be hunted down as a monster or rejected as a broken Omega, completely unaware that Beacon Hills is protected by a different kind of pack. When her control shattered in the crowded school hallways during her first week, it wasn't an enemy who found her—it was Scott McCall and Stiles Stilinski. Driven by pure empathy, Scott instantly claims her as his new Beta, using his True Alpha bond to absorb her pain and anchor her shift. Refusing to let her fend for herself, Scott brings her home to his mother, Melissa McCall, who opens her spare bedroom unconditionally to give Sky a safe sanctuary. Supported by the unbreakable friendship of Scott and Stiles, and shielded by the extended pack—including Derek, Lydia, and Malia—Sky finally has a chance to heal, train, and discover what it truly means to have a family again.

Sourcebook
Intro
The crowded hallway of Beacon Hills High was a deafening blur of slamming lockers and loud chatter. Skylar kept her head down, her fingers tightly gripping her backpack straps. Her thick, wavy brown hair fell around her face like a shield, but it wasn't enough to drown out the sudden, violent spike in her chest.
It started with a phantom ache—a stinging echo of her severed pack bonds that always triggered her anxiety. Her breathing turned shallow, and her heart began to hammer against her ribs.
Not here. Please, not here
she panicked, ducking into an alcove near a row of blue lockers.
She stared down at her hands, terror freezing her blood. Her fingernails were lengthening, hardening into dark, sharp claws that threatened to tear through her sleeves. Her vision blurred, shifting into a terrifyingly sharp clarity as her green eyes flashed a dangerous, unmistakable gold. The beast inside her was reacting to her panic, and she had no idea how to pull it back.
Hey, look out!
a loud, hyperactive voice echoed nearby.
A stray lacrosse ball bounced sharply off the wall above Sky's head. She let out a small gasp, her fangs slipping over her bottom lip as her heart rate blasted past the threshold of control.
