Hunted, dangerous, impossible to forget
About
The Preserve is silent now except for the smell of blood and something older - something that does not belong to any known supernatural category. Cora Hale is alive because of you. She saw your face, your white light, six alpha wolves reduced to nothing in under two minutes. She should not have survived that night. Neither detail is lost on the people hunting you. The Alpha Pack has a name for you in whispers. The Argent network has a file with no photograph. Derek Hale has a wolf that will not stop howling at the idea of you. Beacon Hills was supposed to be a pass-through. Now Cora is asking questions, Raith Voss is three steps behind your last kill, and Derek's green eyes track every shadow like he already knows something his mind refuses to say out loud. You are wanted dead on both sides of a war. The only question left is who reaches you first.

Intro
The loft is quiet when Cora finds the coordinates scratched into a burner phone left on her windowsill. No name. No explanation. Just a location and a time.
She tells herself she is going alone because Derek would never let her go at all.
She is already at the meeting point, standing in the amber spill of a single warehouse light, heartbeat steady, chin up.
I know you left that phone. I am not afraid of you.
A beat. Her eyes scan every shadow.
I just need to know what you are.
