AFTER HOPE HAD ran off in wolf form and wasn't seen for more than two hours, everyone began to worry and started to look for her. But, no matter their attempts, they couldn't even get a scent of her.

They had stayed up all night to try and find her, and Melissa was beginning to get more than worried. Last time Hope had ran off, she ran into Sam and Dean, and disappeared for a long time. But, after it turned to six in the morning, everyone decided to gather around in the living room of the McCall household to try and come up with some way to find Hope.

Even Rebekah and her family was there.

They had showed up, coming up with a lie about how Hope was suppose to call them, and how Rebekah 'accidentally' told them about the Pack. Scott was a little suspicious, but decided to not say or do anything rash due to his sister missing.

Around seven in the morning, Hope walked inside the household, wearing a set of Stiles' clothes; one of his flannels and leggings. Her blonde hair was tangled and sticking up in all places with dirt spread in it, and all over her face. Her blue eyes widened as she saw everyone that was gathered in the living room.

"Hope Andrea McCall!" Melissa shouted as she ran towards her daughter, pulling her into a long and tight hug.

"I'm sorry, mom," Hope whispered quietly into her mother's shoulder, trying to not cry as the memory of the knife entering Kira's stomach came to mind. And then came the screaming and screeching of the witches that she killed. Her breathing became rapid, and she closed her eyes tightly, feeling her body begin to shake as she felt the need to break down.

In that moment, the arms squeezed a fraction tighter and Hope breathed more slowly, her body melting into her mom's as every muscle lost its tension to the spring air. This was life, real life.

"It's going to be alright, sweetie," Melissa whispered and pulled back, holding her face gently, and then pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Everything might be falling apart right now, but it's going to end up just fine. I promise."

Hope forced a smile at her mother and then buried her head into her chest. "I love you."

Klaus and Hayley held hands as they watched the mother and daughter duo, and their hearts clenched tightly. They knew sending her away meant she wouldn't remember them and would have a new family, but seeing it is different.

Pulling away from her mother once again, Hope was pulled into a hug by Dean who cradled her head to his chest. "I was so damn worried, kid. Never do that to us again." He smiled as she looked up at him with a small grin. "Promise?" His eye's twinkled as he held up his pinky to her.

"You're such a child, Dean-O," she commented before holding up her pinky and placing it around his. She nodded and said, "I promise, you big, blundering fool."

"Hey!" Dean exclaimed, placing a hand over his heart as Sam and Castiel just laughed.

"Hope..." Kira decided to step forward which shocked Hope who gasped and covered her mouth, her blue eyes filling up with tears. "You didn't have to risk yourself to come for me. The others told me—" She was interrupted when Hope ran into her, pulling her into a tight hug.

"Oh, my god!" Hood whispered out and pulled back, looking Kira up and down, her eyes landing on her stomach. "How did—" She stopped herself short and turned to Castiel with wide eyes. "Thank you, Cas." Her bottom lip started quivering and she pulled Kira into another hug. "I'm so sorry that I was too slow. I should've done something more. Maybe you wouldn't—"

"You came for me and that's all that matters. Everything else worked out the way it was suppose to," Kira told her, shaking her head, making sure to keep eye contact with the tribrid. "Castiel healed me and Sam was the one that cleaned me up and helped me calm down because I was so worried about you." Her brown eyes glanced over at Sam who smiled and blushed under her gaze. "Everything is good now. I'm fine. You're fine. Everyone else is fine. The witches are dead and we won yet another fight."

Hope smiled at her optimism before turning around and freezing upon seeing Rebekah and her whole family standing there. "Oh... um..." She met Rebekah's eye's and tilted her head. "Did you tell them?" It wasn't an accusation, just a question.

Rebekah 'shamefully' bowed her head. "Yeah. I was so worried about you and then I accidentally blurted out that you were in a pack. I'm sorry," she lied easily, making sure to keep her heart under control to make sure the wolves weren't listening in.

Hayley stepped forward and swallowed thickly as she met her daughters eyes. "Don't worry. We won't be telling anyone. We would be hypocrites if we were to."

"And why's that?" Stiles asked as he walked over to Hope, and began rubbing her back for comfort.

"We're werewolves, too," Klaus spoke up and glowed his eyes with a small smirk. Hayley glanced over everyone and then flashed her eyes, too. "We didn't know there was a pack in town, let alone that my sister and brother was friends with them. If we did, we would've introduced ourselves sooner."

Hope looked over them and slowly nodded. "I trust you guys, so don't do anything to betray that trust."

"Thank you, Miss McCall," Elijah said with a smile, fixing his suit as he stepped forward. It was hard for him to say 'McCall' instead of 'Mikaelson', but he didn't want to give themselves away just yet. "We are here for you no matter what."

Hope furrowed her brows. "And why is that?" She tilted her head as she met his eyes.

"You are a powerful being, Hope," Elijah stated, not lying. "And your Alpha is the True Alpha. You are unlike any other pack out there. If you were to allow us in your pack, we will be sure to stand by your side no matter what."

"We don't accept just anyone," Scott spoke up beside Melissa. "But, if my sister trusts you, so do I. Plus, you were helpful with cleaning up the mess that the witches had done."

Hope turned to her brother with wide eyes. "What do you mean?"

Scott turned to his sister with a small smile. "They were the ones that gave the Sheriff Station money to rebuild, amongst all the others things."

Hope turned to the family with a huge smile. "Oh, my god, really?!" She exclaimed before saying, "You guys are so amazing!" She then bounced over to Hayley and Klaus, and pulled them into a hug. "Since you guys are here, can I ask you a few things about our type of wolf?" She asked, seeing as they are the same type of wolf as her due to the eyes.

Klaus and Hayley looked to each other before chuckling. "Sure thing."
