Allison paused in her pacing, staring at Stiles, and allowing herself to be pat down. She was unarmed though, the paraphernalia she’d used to start the fire being left back at the site - no fingerprints either, she wasn’t stupid. She was hesitant as they felt around Victoria and her blankets, but she understood they were just doing their job, and she knew she had nothing to hide, and as soon as they stepped away, she took a step closer to Stiles.
“I came straight here, I just needed somewhere safe, and Scott said…” She trailed off, uncomfortable with explaining herself around the guards. After all, she was wearing the Roman pack symbol, and given relations between the two packs, this was without a doubt, the most dangerous place she could be in their eyes.
“I’ll go if it’s a problem.” Not that she knew anywhere she could go, but she’d think of something.
Stiles fixed Allison with a stern stare, then he reached behind her and undid the clasp on her collar before dropping it unceremoniously on the ground like so much trash. He didn’t spare it another moment’s thought. It had lost any value the moment she stepped on their property. If the Romans thought they would be able to get to her here, they were even stupider than Stiles thought.
“Are you hurt? Is Clarke?” He asked instead, slowly leading her deeper into the sleeping household. His office was just on the floor above them. “We need to talk about this.” Stiles said, just edging over to stern, but his expression was kind. “But your room’s just like you left it. You can let go of her now. You’re safe.”
It would probably do Allison some good, but Stiles knew if he was in her position, anyone who tried to touch his daughter would be met with fangs and claws. It was for the best that Allison was more level-headed at her worst than he was at the best of times.
