Chapter 3- True Alpha

Since Scott knew he couldn't be in two places at once they had come up with a plan that would hopefully allow them to save Derek and Deaton. Boyd and Isaac were already over at Derek's setting up the pool of water that would be electrified to stop the Alphas. Scott, Allison, Lydia, Stiles, and Lydia had combined both maps and they figured out that Deaton was probably being held at the bank vault where Cora, Boyd and Erica were held. So the plan was Cora, Lydia and Stiles would head over to Derek's in case they needed any extra help and Allison would go home to try to see if she could find any clues.

Meanwhile Scott would go to the abandoned bank vault where they believed Deaton was going to be held and save him. But even though Allison said she would stay home and look for more clues she was lying. She wasn't going let Scott go by himself because she thought this was a trap and he needed someone to watch his back even if he didn't want to admit it. So she quickly stopped at home and grabbed her bow and some arrows.

She didn't know if the Alpha's were behind this or someone else but she was going to be prepared either way. As soon as she had all her stuff she headed over to the bank vault. Scott couldn't have gotten there yet so she jumped in her car and headed over there as fast as she could.

Scott was already inside the building trying to find out where Deaton was. He was using all of his senses but he was still having a difficult time when he heard a soft moan. It was coming from inside the vault. Scott began running toward's the vault hoping the whole time that he wasn't too late.

As he finally entered the vault he saw Deaton hanging with his hands above his head and Scott could tell immediately that he wasn't going to last much longer. He started towards Deaton when a forced knocked him backwards. He didn't see anything but then he looked down and saw mountain ash on the ground surrounding Deaton.

Scott went back towards the mountain ash and tried to muster as much strength as he had and pushed against the forcefield. As soon as he touched it he felt the energy surge through him and he felt it fighting back against him. The light started getting brighter around him but he kept pushing using all the energy and strength he had. He wasn't going to let Deaton die when he could save him.

Allison entered the bank vault and she could see a bright light coming out of the entrance. She went straight for the vault and as she was getting closer the light inside exploded brighter and she had to shield her eyes. Her first thought was that something had happened to Scott. She ran inside and saw Scott on the ground and Deaton hanging by his hands. Mountain ash was on the ground around Deaton and that was why Scott couldn't get Deaton down.

She looked over and saw Scott laying on the ground but she knew he was alive because he was moving. So she quickly loaded an arrow into her bow and shot the rope holding Deaton up. He collapsed to the ground and she heard him moan as he hit the hard floor so she knew he was alive.

Next she checked on Scott. She ran right over to his side and saw for a second that his eyes were red. But they soon changed back to his normal beautiful brown eyes.

"Allison what are you doing here?"

"You didn't really think I was going to let you go out by yourself did you? You needed back up in case anything went wrong and it was good I was here or Deaton might have died."

"I know you're right but I still don't want you putting yourself in danger."

"I can protect myself Scott."

"Clearly."

"What the hell happened in here Scott?"

Scott himself didn't even know what had happened. One second he was pushing against the forcefield and he just felt a surge of energy and power and than the next he was knocked backwards against the wall.

"I really don't know."

"I do."

They were both so focused on each other that they didn't even realize that Deaton had already gotten up and was walking towards them.

"You're a true alpha Scott."

"What the hell is a true Alpha and why haven't we heard of it before?"

"A true alpha is someone who rises on strength of character and sheer force of will as opposed to those who take the status from another Alpha. It's very rare and it only happens once in a hundred years. i thought you could be one from the moment I met you but I didn't know for sure until now."

"How do you know I am a true alpha?"

"I saw you're eyes change when you were pushing against the forcefield."

"I saw it too Scott when I walked over to check on you."

"This is why Deucalion has taken such an interest in me. He wants me to be in his pack or something."

The realization hit all of them at once.

"This was never about Derek this is about me."

"Does that mean Deucalion set this all up?"

"I don't know, Deaton did you see who took you?"

"Sorry Scott I didn't see anything."

They were back at square one but at least Deaton was alive. Plus Scott was now a true Alpha. With this new information they headed out not wanting to stay and see if the Alphas or someone worse would show up. Allison and Scott drove Deaton home and then headed to Scott's house to check and see how everything went at Derek's.

Scott had left his phone at home so he immediately grabbed his phone to check and see if Stiles had texted him.

Allison entered Scott's room as she saw him collapse onto his bed. He was holding his phone and he looked like he couldn't even move.

"Scott what's wrong?"

She sat right next to him and grabbed his hand to get his attention.

"The plan didn't work and Boyd is dead."

The words came out slowly and with little emotion but Allison could tell that Scott was devastated.

"Scott… I…. I'm so sorry."

"Why should you be sorry it's my fault?"

"It's not your fault Scott."

"Yes it is. I shouldn't have sent them over there."

Scott was looking straight ahead and he looked like he was seconds away from breaking down. But Allison was not going to let him take the blame for this. She gently turned his face so he would be looking right at her.

"Scott look at me. This was not your fault. They all make their own choices and because of you they want to help their friends. They all look up to you and even if you would have told them to not go they would have went anyway because that is what you would have done. This is not your fault, this was the Alphas not you. I love you and I will not let you blame yourself for this."

Just hearing her say all this reminded him why he loved her so much. She was so compassionate, caring and loving and always tried to protect others.

Without being able to stop himself he broke down in her arms. She didn't even hesitate, she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him close. She would be there for him through his grief just like he was there for her all those times.

He eventually stopped and looked up at Allison.

"Will you stay with me tonight?"

"Of course." She didn't even hesitate, he needed her and she would be there for him.

They both took off their jackets and laid down on his bed. He knew they should probably meet up with the others and come up with a new plan but right now he just needed to be alone with Allison. So much had happened and he didn't think he could handle seeing everyone tonight. They would come up with a new plan tomorrow and figure out how to defeat the Alphas.

He snuggled up next to Allison and for a second they just looked into each other's eyes. He placed a light kiss on her lips before she rested her head on his chest. She rubbed circles on his chest while he ran his hands through her hair. They were both tired and within minutes they were both asleep in the arms of the person they loved.
