x Derek's POV

I glanced around the room and sighed. It's been hours since the dance was shut down and Freya still wasn't conscious. The fact that she's not already dead gives us the assumption that she has survived the bite. Scott and Stiles haven't left since I brought her to my house. Elena and Malia arrived not long after that. I take a step towards Freya and lift up her dress a little bit. The bite is healed, so are all the other wounds. "Well, looks like I have another baby wolf to teach control." I sigh and glance at Scott knowing he's thinking the same as I. "She didn't deserve this," he whispers. I nod and glance at the girls real quick and see the conflicted look at Elena's face. "What's with the look Elena?"

Elena shakes her head slightly then sighs, "I didn't want to bring this up until well, she was okay, but I met a guy in the woods. His name's Damon and he's some guy from school's brother I guess. We talked for a minute but I was in such a hurry to find Freya so I walked away." She looks me in the eyes for the first time since she began telling me her story, "I looked back like a second later and he was gone. He was nowhere in sight, it was like… like he just disappeared." I begin to understand what she's telling me.

"You think he may have been a werewolf?" She nodded, "There's no other explanation that could explain him disappearing in a second without making a sound. You said werewolves are fast, like really fast, so…" I glance towards the Scott and Stiles seeing their eyes are planted on me, waiting for my response. I walk towards the other side of the room and sigh, "Well, it looks like we have more werewolves in town than we thought. However, if he didn't make a single sound before disappearing than he's been at this a lot longer than I have. I still make a slight sound when I run."

I hear noise coming from the bed where Freya's lying. I turn around quickly and see her squirming a bit. I rush to her side and kneel down beside the bed. Her eyes slowly flutter open and she takes in her surroundings. Her gaze lands on me and she begins to sit up. "Okay, I'm definitely going to kick that alpha's ass when I find out who he is!" I let out a sigh of relief as everyone rushes to the bed.

x Freya's POV

After everyone hugs me, letting me know how worried they had been, my eyes land on Stiles who is standing back looking a bit awkward. Everyone seems to notice this and make up different excuses for needing to leave the room. "Hey," I whisper. He gives me a small smile and takes a step forward, "Listen, I'm going to be angry for a while about everything that happened, and honestly, I don't know if I'll ever be able to trust you the way I did," Stiles raises his voice as he continues, "But that doesn't mean you get to become wolf dinner and die before we have a chance to try and repair this!"

I let out a small laugh, "So what you're saying is that we have to try to repair our friendship, then I can die?" He rolls his eyes, "No, you don't get to die even then. If you do, I'll bring you back and kill you again." I smile and stand up. "Woah, should you be standing, or walking for that matter? I mean, you did just get attacked!" I laugh and pull my dress up, thanking myself for wearing shorts under, "I'm healed, remember? I'm a wolf now which gives me magical healing abilities." He gives me a small smile, "I'm sorry for telling your mom, I didn't mean to do it, but I'm still sorry."

I pull him into my arms and a tear rolls down my cheek, "I know you didn't, I'm sorry I reacted that way." He pulls away and I look him in the eyes, "And I'm sorry I abandoned you guys." He nods and looks toward the door, "I guess we should get out there. You know, plan how to kill an evil alpha." I laugh and turn around to walk out the door with Stiles behind me.

x Malia's POV

"So how are we going to find him?" Derek looks at me and I see he's just as clueless as I am. "Maybe Peter can help? I know he's comatose and all, but maybe he can give us a sign?" I nod agreeing, "Sounds good, I'm long due for a family reunion. So, I'll go with you." He nods and looks at the other in the room, probably debating who else to bring with. "Stiles, you come with us." Stiles' eyes widen, "What?" I let out a small laugh. He probably wasn't ever expected Derek to voluntarily bring him with anymore. To be honest, I wasn't either. "You're coming with us," is all Derek says before turning his attention to Elena, Freya, and Scott. "You three, go to school."

I see Scott open his mouth to say something but Derek cuts him off, "The alpha wants you and Freya in his pack. The safest place for you guys is school. Elena too considering she met some random guy in the forest who is most likely a werewolf." Elena looks up, "I can talk to Stefan! Ask him about his brother and maybe look for some signs in his responses." Derek nods, "Do that, but don't let him know you're on to him. Just act curious, I do not need anyone else to get hurt."

With that being said, he nodded for me to follow him and grabbed Stiles who looked annoyed that he was being forced to come with. I glance at Freya and Elena, "I'll call you if anything comes up. Cover for me and Stiles will you? And take notes if you can, I don't need to fall back behind." They nod and I see them pack up their stuff.

X Elena's POV

I walk down the halls, heading for my last class. I glance at my phone to see if I have a text from Freya, or Malia even, but there's nothing. I sigh and I begin to look back up when I run smack into someone. I fall to the ground and look up, embarrassed at what just happened. "I'm so sorry!" However, my expression changes when I see it's Stefan.

"Stefan…" He looks at me with his eyebrows raised and then it looks like he begins to study me. "Elena, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there." I let out a small laugh, "Me either! So, I met your brother… Damon?" I see shock spread across his face, "Did you forget you have a brother or something?" He shakes his head, "No, it's not that. I just didn't know Damon was in town. He usually stays far away from me." I nod my head, "Well, I should get to class."

He gives me a small smile, but stops me from walking away, "I've been meaning to ask you, umm, will you go to dinner with me? I mean, will you go on a date with me?" I smile and my suspicions are soon overclouded by my want. "I would love to go on a date with you Stefan. When?" His smile spreads even wider, "Today, after school. Is that good?" I nod and walk away knowing that my cheeks are probably crimson red by now.

x Stiles POV

Of course, that's why he wanted me to come with. I step into the clinic that Peter Hale is currently living in and walk towards his room. I look in his room to find it empty. No Peter anymore. I groan as I pull out my phone to call Malia. "Malia, he's not here."

"What do you mean he's not there?!" I sigh as I hear Derek's voice. I would kill to hear Malia's voice over his at the moment although I barely know her. "His room is empty, he's gone. I can't even find his nurse. It seems like this place is abandoned or something."

"Get out of there Stiles! NOW!" I glare at my phone, annoyed at Derek's commands. "You know what, I'm getting sick and tired of you telling me what to do! You want me out of here? Ask nicely!" I hear shuffling on the other side. Malia comes onto the phone, "Stiles, Peter is the alpha! You need to get out of there, NOW!" My eyes widen as I drop the phone.

I turn and come to find Peter Hale standing behind me. No scars on his face, no wheelchair, he looks as good as new. "Umm, hey, I was just visiting my grandpa but he's not here. So, I'll just be leaving…" He gives me a sinister smirk and grabs me as I attempt to walk away. "Now Stiles, your excuses are very poorly thought out."

I begin to struggle when I fell myself being ripped out of Peter's grasps and see Derek push Peter through a wall. I turn and find Malia observing me checking for any injuries I would assume. "I'm fine, we should help Derek!" She nods, "I should, but you need to get out of here!" Just like that, she took off towards the fighting werewolves.

I look around and see a broom standing not too far from me and begin debating if I should follow Malia's request to leave or stay and possibly die.

I glance towards the fighting and see Derek down. Peter is holding Malia by her neck. "Now, who are you sweetheart? Perhaps my nephew's girlfriend?" She begins to croak something out when I hit Peter over the head with the broom. He doesn't even flinch so I decide to go a different route.

"She's your damn daughter, now let her go!" I scream. His eyes widen as glances towards Malia. He immediately lets her go and takes off before Derek has a chance to get up and start fighting again. "Well, I guess you surprised him Mal."

She gives him a smile, and I can't help but notice how beautiful she looks when she smiles. Not even Lydia can compare to the beauty of Malia. Her smile, so genuine and full of life…

I snap out of my thoughts at Malia's voice, "Stiles, Stiles…" I look at her then glance towards Derek to see a smirk planted on his face and he's eyes full of suggestion and assumption. "Let's get the hell out of here before he comes back," I croak out and practically run out of the door, leaving Malia standing there with confusion written all over her face.

x Freya's POV

I finally got a text from Malia informing me she knows who the Alpha is. However, the part that has me so worked up is saying that Stiles was left alone with that monster for even a second. I'm going to kill Derek for putting him in that position! I am about to reach the door when I run into someone. "Freya, I've been looking everywhere for you! What is going on?!" I look and see it was Allison. I sigh, feeling guilty. She's clueless compared to the rest of us. I pull out my phone and text Mal, "I'm bringing Allison, we're going to tell her everything."

After many heated texts from Derek forbidding me from telling Allison, I got him to agree. I look up and see a very confused Allison staring at me. "Listen, there's things that you need to know. Come with me and we'll tell you." She nods, "Who's "we"?" I usher her to follow me as a state, "You'll see when we get there."

As we arrive at Derek's house, Allison starting to ask new, and even weirder, questions. We step out of the car. Elena had been waiting at my car when we got there. Scott took his bike and met us here.

Elena glances down at her watch and sighs, "I need to go. I have a date." I chuckle, "Why did you even come with then?" She shrugged, "My curiosity got the best of me I suppose. I was supposed to meet Stefan right after school, but I texted him that I was running late."

Derek showed up the door, looking furious, "Stefan? As in the brother of the guy you think may be a werewolf? You are seriously going out with him?" Elena shrugged and began walking off towards town. I look at Allison and see her in deep thought. "Did he just say werewolf?" I curse myself for completely forgetting that Allison was here to find out everything. She didn't know yet. "Come in, we'll explain everything."

After we entered the house, I ran straight into Stiles. I began panicking again, remembering the Alpha was alone with him. After I confirm he's okay, I glare at Derek. "You seriously sent him in there alone? What the hell is wrong with you?!" Before he could even respond, my anger took control. I walked up to him and smacked him. "I trusted you with Stiles! He trusted you with his life, and you seriously almost got him killed! I can't believe you would do something so idiotic!"

Scott was trying to pull me away from Derek, and Stiles was trying to calm me down. Malia was standing off to the right looking shocked at my outburst. However, it was Allison who pulled me back. I looked at her, and saw pure fear. I glanced towards the mirror and saw my eyes were now a gold color.

Derek grabbed my shoulders, "Freya, you need to calm down. You're losing control! Find an anchor, find something that makes you calm, and hold onto that for dear life." I shake my head as tears start to fall. I fall to the ground, "What's happening to me," I whisper.

Allison finally spoke up, "What the hell is going on?" I looked up to her and simply stated, "I'm a werewolf…" Her eyes widened and she began taking steps back. "A werewolf? No, that's not possible…" Scott walked towards Allison, "It is Allison. We're all werewolves, minus Stiles." I saw his eyes turn golden and Allison looked at me, "How is this possible?"

I looked at Derek, hoping he'll tell her, and he did. "I was born a werewolf. Some families are born with the gene. Scott and Freya, they were bitten by an Alpha. An alpha is a leader, but he's also much more monstrous typically. My uncle, Peter, is the alpha." She began to process and then her eyes seemed to come to a realization, "Wait, this Peter guy bit you guys?"

Scott nodded and attempting to take another step towards Allison. She didn't move this time, she just looked him in his eyes. "Did he hurt you guys?" Scott looked towards the ground, "He hurt Freya a lot more than me."

Allison leaned down to reach for my hand, "I'm not afraid Freya. I was for a second, but I know you won't hurt me. I love you, and you're one of my best friends. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this!" I looked into her eyes and seen genuine concern in them. "I love you Allison, I'm sorry I waited so long to tell you." She shook her head, "It's understandable, however, the fact that Elena knew before me will not be so easily forgotten." I laughed as I realized she was joking.

I smiled up and took Scott's hand that was reaching for me. "Alright guys, now that everyone knows the truth, we need to find a way to put a stop to Peter once and for all." It dawned on me that Derek never actually explained himself about Stiles and how Peter was the alpha, but I decided to let it go for now. My anger needs to be directed at Peter.

x Elena's POV

"This is a lot more than I expected…" I look around at the restaurant that Stefan decided to have our date at. It was beautiful. It was filled was plants, and mini waterfalls. It was perfect. He gave me a smile and took my hand to lead me to the table. "I wanted it to be perfect."

I continued to observe the restaurant when the waiter arrived at the table. I ordered the chicken parmesan. Stefan ordered a plate of spaghetti with a side order of garlic bread. I smiled as the waiter walked away and glanced at Stefan, "So tell me about yourself?"

"Well, there's not much to tell… I have a brother, who you met, and my parents died a while back." My eyes widened, "I'm so sorry, my parents died a few years back. It's terrible to lose a parent, let alone both of them…" Stefan nods slowly, "You won't be sad forever Elena. I know right now it may seem like the pain will never end, but it does. It will always sting, but it won't be such a heavy weight on your heart forever." I smile and realize he was right. I won't be sad forever.

Before I can respond, the glass windows shattered. I looked towards the commotion and see the Alpha. I gasp and jump out of my seat. Stefan pulls me behind me and I scream, "No! Stefan, it'll kill you!" Stefan looked back it me, "We'll see about that." Just like that, the alpha started attacked people. I heard a familiar scream and seen the alpha attacking none other than Lydia.

I could feel my heart breaking as I ran towards the creature. With all of my strength, I jumped at it and tackled it. It looked me in the eyes as it landed on top of me. I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the end. However, I felt the Alpha get thrown off of me. I opened my eyes to see Stefan run at an inhuman speed. "Elena, run!"

I get up and run towards Lydia. She wasn't conscious. I pull out my phone and begin to dial Freya's number when I get thrown into the wall.

I groan as I stand up and see the Alpha is still trying to kill me. Then it dawns on me, is he trying to kill me, or turn me? I take a step towards it, "You want me? Leave everyone else alone, and come and get me!" I take off running and feel the Alpha on my tale.

Before it can bite me, Stefan throws it through the window. I watch as it stands up and takes off. I sigh in relief and take Stefan's extended arm. I looked Stefan in the eyes knowing he's waiting for me to ask the million-dollar question. "What are you Stefan?"
