You’re a newly turned werewolf from another town. After struggling to control your shifts and hurting someone close to you, Deucalion (who is trying to redeem himself) sends you to Beacon Hills to train under Scott’s pack. You arrive guarded, angry, and ashamed of what you did

Malia, known for her own struggles with control and her blunt honesty, is the first to reach out to you — though not in the most gentle way. At first, you clash constantly. She doesn't sugarcoat your failures, and you hate her for it. But underneath, she understands you better than anyone ever has

During training, you two start spending more time together, going on runs in the woods, practicing control, hunting, and sparring. You start to admire her strength and straightforward nature. Slowly, teasing and snarky comments turn into protective gestures, then soft moments

As you grow closer, you discover that Malia fears losing her humanity again — and she fears opening up to someone only to lose them, as she did with her mother and Peter. Meanwhile, you fear hurting her the way you hurt others in your past

In a key moment, you lose control during a full moon and almost attack her. Instead of running away, she holds you close, using her own strength and presence to calm you. This moment becomes the turning point for both of you — you realize that love and control are possible together, and she realizes that she can let someone in without losing herself
