A few days after they had caught Boyd and Cora, Tahlia got a phone call from Allison. The twins had attacked Isaac during school, this pissed Tahlia off on two levels, 1) Isaac being her favorite next to Scott and Stiles, 2) the fact that they were blatantly showing off somewhere where anyone could see them, put not only the wolves at risk, but her family as well being hunters.

She shows up at the school and finds Scott outside, just as she is about to ask what's going on Scott hears something and takes off running, Tahlia following close behind, hand on her gun at her back. Scott rips a vending machine from in front of a storage closet door, he runs inside grabbing a semi-shifted Isaac by the shoulders and throwing him out the door away from Allison, who he almost attacked.

Tahlia checks on her cousin as Scott grabs Isaac by his throat, the Beta struggling to get up and attack, yellow eyes flashing.

"Isaac!"

The commanding tone in Scott's voice brings Isaac back, harnessing the wolf back in it's cage. Scott turns to check on Allison, eyeing the scratches on her right wrist from Isaac's claws.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that."

"I'm okay."

"I'm so sorry." The apologetic tone in Isaac's voice is strong as he leans against the wall.

Scott turns glaring down at Isaac, Allison notices and tries to make things better. "It's not his fault."

"I know. I guess now we know they want to do more than get you angry. They want to get someone hurt."

"So are we gonna do something?"

"Yeah. I'm gonna get them angry, really angry."

Tahlia and Scott go outside to the twins motorcycles, the Beta watches intently as she takes out her tools and quickly dismantles several key parts off of one of the bikes, placing them into Scott's backpack. The teen goes back inside as Tahlia keeps watch until she sees Isaac come out of the school, Allison waits at the doors keeping a look out. The wolf watches as Tahlia kneels down next to the bike, "How long is this gonna take?"

She stands up with a smile, reaching over and hitting the start button on the bike, it roars to life as Isaac settles into the seat. Tahlia gives him a quick rundown of how to ride it. "Pull back with your left hand. Kick down to put in gear. Front brake. Throttle. Back brake for stopping. Try not to crash."

"Yeah. Been there, done that."

She steps back snapping a picture of him on the bike with her phone and sending it to Scott who stands in the doorway of the classroom he has with Ethan and Aiden.

Ms. Blake addresses them, "Okay, everyone, I know this is the last class of the day. To be honest, I want to get out of here, too."

Scott takes a seat next to the twins, both of them on his left in a row. He looks over at them smiling, before reaching down into his bag and pulling out one of the bike parts, spinning it around on his finger before setting it on the desk. "That looks kind of important." He pulls another part out, "I have no idea what this thing does."

The three of them hear a motorcycle rev outside and just like suspected, one of them takes off out the door, the other yelling behind him. "Wait. Aiden, don't!"

Isaac rides the bike into the school, down the hallway towards the classroom. He spots Aiden in front of him and hits the front brake stopping the bike.

"Get off my bike!"

Isaac lifts the helmet off, smiling, "No problem." He places his hands on Aiden's back before front flipping over the Alpha, landing on the ground and walking away as Aiden gets onto his bike. He joins Scott, Allison and Tahlia as they stand in the hallway smiling. More students fill the hall as they try to see what the commotion is all about, Ms. Blake storms around the foursome staring incredulously at the teen on the bike.

"You have got to be kidding me." Aiden looks up at the teacher in shock. You realize this is gonna result in a suspension."

Aiden looks over at the two wolves and two huntresses, not even bothering to hide the smiles on their faces, Scott flicks his eyebrows up in a 'how about that' gesture.

After class Tahlia meets up with the boys, she's going to give Isaac a ride back to Derek's. As they walk down the steps to the first floor Isaac laughs, "Yeah, I wish I could've seen their faces. They look seriously pissed?"

"Yeah."

The three stop in the hallway, right in front of them are the twins and they do not look the least bit amused.

"Kind of like that." Scott tells them.

The twins rip off their jacket and shirts, Ethan kneels down and Aiden plunges his hand into his brothers back. Bones crack and combine as the two transform into the giant Alpha, it gives a loud roar as it stares them down.

Isaac drops his bag, pulling up his sleeves, "We can take 'em."

Tahlia pulls her gun out from her waist band preparing to fire when Scott grabs her arm. "Are you kidding?" He and Tahlia start to run, Scott looks back at the Beta still standing there. "Isaac!"

The three take off down the hall but the giant is twice as fast as they are. It swats at Tahlia knocking her into the row of lockers to the left, she crumples to the ground like ragdoll. Then it grabs both Betas by the back of the necks, lifting them up and smacking them together before tossing them down the hallway from where it came. Tahlia looks up seeing the giant separating her from the boys, the Alpha roars but quickly quiets down, looking sheepish as a man with a walking stick steps from behind the two teens up to the front of the giant. The giant breaks back into the twins, they stand stoically as the man removes the red cap from the end of his stick, revealing a very sharp arrowhead blade. He swipes it across the twins left cheeks, leaving a bleeding cut in its absence then replacing the cap before he walks down the hallway past Tahlia, the twins following.

"Who the hell is that?" Isaac asks his friend.

"Deucalion."

Tahlia takes Isaac back to the loft, Derek is in a very peculiar mood. She stands by the door watching the interaction between the Alpha and his Beta, Cora seems to be nowhere to be found but Tahlia knows she is there. Derek stand silently looking out the window at the rain falling, a sudden brutal storm had manifested just as they had arrived at the loft.

"I don't get it. Well, did something happen?"

"It's just not gonna work with both of you here. I've got Cora now, it's too much. I need you out tonight."

Isaac scoffs not believing what he's hearing. "Where am I supposed to go?"

"Somewhere else."

"Did I do something wrong, Derek?"

Derek finally turns around facing his Beta, "You're doing something wrong right now by not leaving."

"Come on."

He points to the door. "Just get out."

"Derek, please."

"Get out."

"Come on." Isaac says with a slight laugh hoping this is a joke.

"Go!" Derek throws the glass in his hand against the beam Isaac is standing against, the Beta ducks covering his face as it shatters, shards falling to the floor. The teen stands up glancing at his Alpha over his shoulder before picking up his bag and walking to the door.

Tahlia gives him an apologetic look, "Do you want me to give you lift?"

Isaac shakes his head before slamming the door shut behind him.

Tahlia turns back to Derek who is now leaning forward on the desk, she walks across the floor stopping on the opposite side from him, her arms crossed across her chest. "You wanna tell me what that was about?" Derek looks up at her, opening his mouth but she stops him. "The truth. Not that bullshit story you told him."

He sighs, "No one is safe around me. Deucalion wants me to kill my pack. They're better off away from me."

Tahlia shakes her head, scoffing at him which earns her a glare from the Alpha. "You can't be that stupid, can you?" A growl is her response, but she doesn't falter, he doesn't scare her anymore. "I had the pleasure of meeting Deucalion about an hour ago and you wanna know what my impression of him is. He will kill all of us to get to you, whether we are part of your pack or not. The twins already tried to kill my cousin by agitating Isaac to the point where he wanted to rip her to shreds. Then they personally came after myself, Scott and Isaac today at the school. The only thing that stopped the latter was Deucalion arriving and stopping them. I'm not sure why he stopped them but I intend to find out."

"It's better this way. I'm only doing it to protect him."

"And what about your sister? She's still here, doesn't that put her in danger too? Why not make her leave as well. Is it because she has nowhere to go? Newsflash, neither does Isaac."

"He's got you." Derek says the bitterness flowing through his voice.

The huntress nods, pursing her lips. "Yeah, he does have me. At least I know that when it comes to saving people, you have to be there for them in the first place. You made the decision to keep me at arms length Derek, so that bitter tone you're using with me, is all on you." She steps around the desk leaning down, her lips brushing Derek's ear. "Let me give you a little piece of information Derek. Pushing people away doesn't always make them safe, sometimes it makes them easier targets."

With that said Tahlia walks away, a very angry Alpha behind her.
