It's been two months since went down with the Darach and the alpha pack and everything has changed so drastically. The pack now consists of Scott, as the alpha, Aiden, Lydia, Isaac, Allison, Danny, Ethan, Jackson (surprisingly), Melissa, my dad and me. Danny is finally in the know about werewolves and all the shit that's been going on in Beacon Hills for the past two years. He found out when Jackson moved back and found out about the twins and the reasoning behind their initial wanting to date Lydia and Danny. Whereas everyone thought he would be after Aiden for dating Lydia, Jackson's major concern was that Ethan was going to hurt Danny. That led to a huge confrontation and fight with both of them completely wolfing out; that was a major shock to Danny.
Isaac and Aiden helped stop the fight while I calmed Danny down so that we could all sit down and talk. Surprisingly Danny took the whole werewolf thing better to be expected and he practically swooned when he learned that Ethan was willing to not only go against his brother but the rest of the alpha pack because he loved Danny so much. Granted he was upset at the way their relationship began but he was equally pissed at Jackson for not telling him what was going on from the beginning. After some much deserved apologies and talking between Jackson and Ethan about Danny's well-being they came to an understanding.
Jackson moving back from London was an interesting development in itself. In the beginning I was worried that he was going to go back to being the douchebag he was before he moved but it seems that his time spent overseas has changed him for the best. Besides sticking up for Danny he also told Aiden that if he ever hurt Lydia he'd kill him, alpha or not. He's even been nice to me and Isaac; we've shockingly become like the three musketeers of the pack. Moving on to the rest of the pack; Aiden and Lydia are still going strong, and I'm happy for them. As obsessed as I was with Lydia I'm pretty much over it. Don't get me wrong, I love Lydia like a sister but the whole unrequited love thing is getting old.
Allison and Isaac are going pretty strong too. Those two being together seems to bring out the best of them and it's a nice change of pace. Allison seems more accepting of the pack and the treaty between the Argents and the pack has gotten stronger; Chris even seems to like Isaac, well more so than he did Scott. Scott seems to be ok with their relationship but sometimes he acts kind of coldly to Isaac; I'm not sure how much of it is consciously though. All the stress from dealing with the stuff with Scott has brought his nightmares about his dad back in full force. At first he tried dealing with it on his own but I noticed how distant he'd become so I asked him about it. Ever since then whenever he has one he always comes to my house and stays with me. Strangely enough it's brought us closer as friends. It got to the point where he was at my house more than Scott's and dad finally just talked him into moving into our guest bedroom. Isaac was a little weary at first, thinking that my dad was just offering to him out of pity. Eventually I made him understand that my dad and I just wants him to be somewhere he feels safe and he agreed; the only thing left to do was tell Melissa and the pack. Luckily enough for us Melissa was very understanding when Isaac explained how I was helping him with his nightmares as was the rest of the pack. This however led most of the pack to start coming to me when they had problems or just to talk. I didn't and still don't mind, it was just a little weird getting used to.
This is how Jackson, Isaac and I became closer; we all bonded through our nightmares. Jackson, as I found out, sometimes had nightmares about being the kanima. He knows he wasn't responsible for everything that happened but it's still something that haunts him. My nightmares started after the sacrifice from dealing the Darach. The darkness is affecting all of us differently but I seem to be taking it the worse. Deaton says that it's because of my spark and that developing my skills would be a good way to get a handle on things. As much as I don't trust Deaton I agreed to train with him under the condition that the training stays between us. Scott already knows that I have a spark but I'm not ready for everyone to know about the whole magic thing; especially not my dad.
Scott is the alpha now although he's not any better at it than Derek was; in fact he may be worse. At least with Derek he would somewhat listen to other people's opinions when it came to pack business (well there closer to the end he did) but Scott just makes up his mind and that's it. He thinks just because he's a "true alpha" that excuses him of being an ass about things; that and he trusts Deaton entirely too much. I mean honestly, how can just completely trust someone that you don't really know. Scott's idiocy is another thing that Isaac, Jackson and I agree on. Everyone else seems to just follow him because of the true alpha title and don't think to question anything he does or says and honestly the powers gone to his head. The three of us are kind of the outcasts of the pack because of this. Well that and the fact that we talk to Peter. Despite what he's done in the past it seems coming back to life has broken the insanity he was suffering from resulting from the fire. He has apologized to everyone including Lydia and everyone accepted but they still seem a little weary of him so, he mainly hangs out with us.
Another thing that the four of us have in common is Derek. The four of us are the only ones in the pack that were close to Derek. Peter, of course, by blood, Isaac and Jackson because he was their alpha and me because of our strange relationship. I don't think it's a secret to anyone, including Derek that I've had a crush on him but it was also the way we always seemed to be there for one another when we were in danger. Whether it was me almost cutting off his arm from the bullet laced with wolfsbane or him believing me when Jennifer had my dad. Ever since meeting Derek when the whole "werewolves are real" thing started, he has always been someone that I can count on to get me out of trouble and to protect me.
After Derek and Cora left after everything I was sure that we would never see Derek again; I was completely wrong.
