Chapter 1, SAVION POV – Dream or nightmare?

Ethan and Aiden sat on either side of the couch, my head resting on Ethan and my feet on Aiden. It was a boring afternoon and we were just waiting on Deucalion's commands… especially me. I've been out of the loop with their plans the past few months, it's not like I wanted to be a part of it. Frankly, I didn't care.

Kali stormed in, clearly pissed off, with Ennis and Deucalion following her. They were clearly arguing about something before they got in. "So you just want to waltz into that town huh?" Kali questioned Deucalion, "the whole pack? You're just going to shove us all in danger?" Ethan, Aiden and I all looked up at them. Kali looked at me and let out another frustrated sigh. "What about her huh? What makes-"

"Are you questioning the way I run things, Kali?" Deucalion interrupted, calmly I might add. "I can guarantee that we will be anything but in danger in that town. After all… we are an Alpha pack." He held out his hand and Ennis quickly reached for his stick and handed it to him. He used his stick to feel the area around him and made his way out of the apartment. Kali and Ennis soon followed him.

I waited until I couldn't hear their heartbeats anymore before speaking up. "What was that about?" I looked at Ethan. Ethan and Aiden exchanged a look and both pursed their lips. "Come on, I know they've been hiding things from me the past few months, just spill!" I nagged.

Aiden nodded at Ethan and Ethan bit his lip before speaking, "You have to promise not to tell them we told you, or even act like you know." I nodded. Aiden drew in a deep breath. "We're going to Beacon Hills."

I was silent for a moment, a long moment. I let my eyes wander to the window, watching the dark clouds roll in. "Why?" I queried after a long, deafening moment of silence.

The twins both shrugged. "When a strong pack is forming, word gets around." Aiden murmured, he started playing with my hair as if trying to comfort me.

"Everything will be fine, Sav." Ethan tried; I gave him a weak smile.

"Yeah, yeah it will." I nodded. "I'm tired, I'm going to bed." I dismissed myself; all three of us knew that was a lie. We did nothing but lounge around all day while Deucalion, Kali and Ennis did whatever it is they do whenever they leave us at the apartment.

I crawled into my bed and buried myself deep into the comfort of my duvet and pillows. My thoughts were all over the place. I could hear the traffic from the streets, Ethan and Aiden's heartbeats in the lounge, the strong gush of wind making the windows in my room rattle and the low rumbling of the incoming storm.

I shut my eyes as soon as the first drop of rain hit my window and not long later, I fell into a deep slumber.

I stared at Derek, his eyes were blue. The eyes of an innocent killer. I circled him, like a hunter closing in on its prey. I didn't want to attack him, I didn't want to hurt him. I just wanted to phase back and hold him.

"Either his life or yours, Savion." A deep voice said. I looked around the room, searching where the voice came from but it was only me and Derek in that room.

"Sav, you don't have to do this." Derek said gently, he was in his wolf form, but his stance looked like he had no intention to fight… even if I attacked him.

I felt a wave of darkness wash over me; suddenly I felt no remorse for the wolf standing in front of me. A feeling of darkness pooled around my heart. I tilted my head, looking at the wolf's face, and it was as if I didn't know him. My nails turned to claws, teeth turned to fangs and I was sure that my eyes were a glowing crimson red.

I let out a dark chuckle, "Oh but I do… I really do." I flashed my fangs and roared. I jumped at him and my claws went straight for his chest. I clawed his shirt open and pushed him up against the wall, he wasn't fighting back. But his eyes begged for mercy though his mouth let out nothing but quick breathing. I wasted no time; I pushed my claws deep into his chest until my whole hand was in his body.

"Sa-Sav p-p-please…" He begged, struggling to get his words out. His bottom lip had a red stain and soon enough, blood was pouring out of his mouth. I pulled my hand out and let him slide to the floor. My claws and fangs retracted as did the darkness in me.

I looked down and saw Derek bleeding to his death. I quickly dropped down on my knees and held him. I inspected Derek's wound and noticed the blood on my hand. It took a few seconds to click but when I realised what I had just done, I felt my heart shatter to pieces.

"No… NO!" I shook my head. "Derek, keep your eyes open!" I slapped his cheek lightly. I listened to his faint, slow heartbeat. "No, no, no… Please, Der- No, Derek, please! I'm begging you." The back of my eyes started stinging. "Derek…" I looked into his hazel green eyes, his human eyes. He stared right back into mine. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Derek I'm-"

His hand found mine and intertwined his fingers with mine. "Shh, it's okay. It's going to be okay."

"Derek, no." His heartbeat slowing down some more, his heart struggling as it hardly had any more bloody to pump. "Derek, please just hold on a little bit longer, please!"

"It's okay." His voice was barely a whisper. His last heartbeat was faint but it sounded so loud in my ears, it echoed in my brain. The echo got louder and louder and it pounded in my ears, even louder than my own.

I shot straight up, the beating hurting my ears. I turned to my window and saw that the sun was just about to rise. I sighed and let myself fall back into my pillows. I rubbed my temples, trying to somehow massage the images of my dreams out of my head.

The darkness that washed over me, it made me a whole different person. One that didn't care didn't feel emotions. A killing machine. And the scary thing is a part of me was satisfied when I killed Derek in my dream.

I haven't seen Derek… well ever since the last time I saw him. After I joined the Alpha pack and left, I never heard from Derek again. And now I'm coming back with the people who took me away from him. Just the thought of stepping into Beacon Hills made my stomach churn.
