Derek and I were cuddling on the bed as the night sky shown through the window, his arms were wrapped around my midsection, my body heat was being shared

with him, a howl ripped through the air. Derek and I sat up as our eyes began to glow,

"The Alpha" Derek said as I grabbed a shirt quickly, putting it on, we soon began running towards the scent, it was leading into town. I was looking around an

abandoned building near where the scent lead, while Derek was looking at something on the ground, I looked up to see the Alpha looking at both Derek and I.

"Derek" I said as I could see at the corner of my eye him scrunching up,

"I see it" He replied as the Alpha went over roof of the building he was climbing, both Derek and I climbed after him, soon reaching the roof, I could see him pouncing

roof after roof. Both Derek and I ran after him, but two shots rang out, I fell along with Derek to the ground,

"What the hell was that?" I asked as I tried to get up but fell again due to a pain in my left shoulder. I moved my sleeve on my shirt and saw a blue glowing bullet

wound, Derek had the same wound but it was on his lower right arm,

"Fucking hell" I growled as another wave of small spasms flooded my body.

"We need to hide" I said as I tried to pick up my Destined Imprint, but faltered, Derek helped me to the Hale Manor, as the night went on Derek and I were getting

worse by the hour,

"Derek?" I asked him as he was passing out,

"Wha..?" He replied as I saw his under eyes were dark from not getting much sleep from the pain we were enduring.

"We have to stay away" I said as I began to slump against the wall, the pain was getting worse,

"I don't think we were shot with normal wolvesbane" I said as I got up and steadied myself.

"What makes you say that Jace?" Derek asked as I watched the sun rising,

"It burns more and we aren't getting any better" I said as I watched him try to get up, he did but he struggled.

"We need to go to the school and find Scott" I growled as I got up,

"Why? We don't need him" Derek said before he whimpered in pain,

"Yes we do come on baby" I said with a smirk as he looked at me with a scowl. We began walking to the school, Derek was struggling, but I was much worse than

him,

"Derek come on we are almost there" I said as we soon found the lacrosse fields,

"Alright Jace I trust you and you alone" Derek said as I kissed his temple, as we went through the school people bumped into us, I was annoyed as Derek was getting

worse and so was I but on a more deeper level. I soon saw a boy at his locker,

"Where's Scott McCall" I asked annoyed as he then shut his locker and stared at me with this lustful smile.

"What do I get out of it, what do I get in return" He said as I rolled my eyes, .

"Nothing" I replied, the boy's smile went away,

"Then why should I tell you where Scott is?" He replied back as I scented Derek behind me.

"Because she asked you politely" Derek growled as the blonde shook his head.

"And you are?" The boy asked Derek who was holding in a bit of a growl,

"The guy who is going to kick you ass if you keep hitting on my girlfriend" Derek said with a bit of anger in his tone, but I kept him behind me as the boy chuckled,

"Alright, I'll make you a deal, I tell you where he is if you tell me what your selling him is it uh...dynabol...HGH" The boy asked as if I was a drug dealer.

"Steroids" I said before taking Derek's hand in my own hand.

"No Girl Scout cookies what the hell do you think I'm talking about, and what ever your selling I think you should stop sampling the merchandise...You both looked

wreaked" The boy said with a smirk, I saw black blood dripping off Derek's knuckles and I felt my shoulder bleeding more making my sleeve wet, the shirt was

beginning to reek of my poisoned blood.

"We will find him ourselves" I said taking Derek with me,

"No we're not done here" the boy said grabbing my jacket. I turned around, my hand on the back of his neck as I slammed him against the lockers. I felt my claws

grow only to sink into his neck. I pull them out of his neck and got away with Derek beside me. We found a spot to hide, I tried to get my claws to turned back but

they didn't,

"Jace...Hey Jace control" Derek said as he took my hand in his own, I calmed my heart beat enough to get my claw to go away. Derek then smiled before kissing my

forehead, I leaned on the wall to rest my eyes for a minute,

"We are going to be ok" Derek said as I looked at him with half closed eyes, soon the bell rang, I closed my ears with my hands.

"I can smell Stilinski's scent" Derek said as I felt weaker than before,

"Let's go" I said before coughing, Derek placed my arm over his shoulder and lead me outside to find Stiles' jeep about to leave, both Derek and I stopped him from

leaving but I collapsed. My vision was blurring as I soon saw both Scott and Stiles in front of Derek and I as my Imprint held me in his arms,

"What are you two doing here" Scott asked as I groaned in pain.

"They aren't not looking so good" Stiles said worried about me as I was sweating profusely.

"We were shot" Derek said hold my hand against his chest.

"Why aren't you healing" Scott asked as I was fading in and out of consciousness.

"It was a different...kind of bullet" I stuttered as I laid my hand on my imprint's chest.

"What silver bullet" Stiles exclaimed as I rolled my eyes.

"No you idiot" Derek said as he groaned in pain.

"Wait that's what they said when you had 48 hours." Scott hesitated as I tried to sit up again but faltered in Derek's chest.

"Wha... Who said it" I asked as I felt control over my wolf slipping.

"The people who shot you both" Scott said worried as I felt pain flood my body, my eyes flickering between my wolf and my human eyes, I looked up and saw that

Derek's eyes were doing the same, between his beta blue and his green eyes.

" What are you both doing? stop that" Scott grunted as I felt sick to my stomach.

"That's what we are trying to tell you we can't" Derek growled as I whined in pain.

"Jace Derek get up" Scott growled as our eyes continued to flicker. Derek helped me up into Stiles' jeep.

"Get them out of here" Scott said as Derek situated me in the back of the Jeep.

"Find out what bullet they used" I twitched in pain before groaning.

" How am I going to find one bullet" Scott said in frustration as Derek just growled lowly.

"Because they are Argents she with them, and trust me you want to find them." I growled before I saw everything go black. I soon woke up as I saw both Derek and

Stiles arguing,

"What if Scott can't find your little magic bullets huh... Are you dying" Stiles yelled as I sat up.

"not yet, we have a last resort" I growled.

"Well hello sleeping beauty and what do you mean what last resort" Stiles asked as I removed my jacket to reveal my wounded shoulder from my tank top, Derek

removed his sleeve to show Stiles his bullet wound, the boy's yelling turned into disgust.

"What is that, is that contagious you know you two should probably get out" Stiles whimpered in disgust.

" Start the car now" I growled as I noticed my veins near the wound were reaching where my heart was, but Derek's were going up his arm.

"I don't think you should be barking orders with the way you look, in fact I could probably drag your little werewolf ass in the middle of the road and leave you for

dead" Stiles sounded confident as I soon sat up, I gained enough control to make my eyes flash.

"Start the car... Or I am going to rip your throat out with my teeth" Derek growled as Stiles was still staring at him,

"I'm dying faster than Derek because of that bitch so DRIVE" I growled baring my fangs, Stiles turned to me and shook, and stared the car. I laid back down as Derek

felt my forehead,

"You're going to be ok so am I" Derek said before kissing my forehead, "I hope so baby" I replied before closing my eyes to sleep again to conserve my energy, Derek

shook me awake later during the night, Stiles was parked as he was talking on the phone,

"And, by the way, they're starting to smell." Stiles said to Scott as I sat up,

"Like - like what?" Scott asked wanting to know as Derek just checked my veins to make sure I wasn't dying quicker,

"Like death." Stiles said emphasizing death, I growled making him shiver then focus back on the phone

"Okay, take them to the animal clinic." Scott replied as I groaned again.

"What about your boss?" Stiles asked him as Derek just looked annoyed as fuck,

"He's gone by now. There's a spare key in the box behind the dumpster." Scott replied, Stiles looked at us with a bit of fear and terror,

"You're not going to believe where he wants me to take you" Stiles said handing Derek the phone, which he took and placed at his ear

"Did you find it" Derek sighed to the young beta as he looked at me.

" how am I going to find two bullet it's like a Walmart of guns and ammo." Scott whined to Derek as I groaned in pain but tried to stay awake, just for a bit longer.

"Look, if you don't find it, then we're dead all right?" Derek replied, he looked at me as if more worried for me,

"I'm starting to think that wouldn't be such a bad thing" Scott said making me growl,

"Then think about this. The Alpha called you out against your will. He's gonna do it again. Next time you either kill with him or you get killed. So if you wanna stay

alive, then you need me. Find the bullet."Derek said before hanging up and handing Stiles the phone, Stiles looked at me then Derek,

"Drive Moran, she's not going to stay breathing if we stay here and I am not that far behind her. We aren't dying" Derek growled before Stiles started the car and

drove to this animal clinic. Once there, Derek picked me up and we sat down,

"Does Northern blue monkshood mean anything to you?" Stiles asked us as I went completely wide eyed,

"It's a rare form of wolfsbane. He has to bring me the bullet." Derek said holding me up as I flashed my fangs losing my control,

"Why?" Stiles asked as another wave of pain filled my body.

" 'Cause I'm gonna die without it." Derek replied, soon we were all inside, I took my shirt off and Derek followed suit, I sat by the table as Derek began shifting

through draws

"Okay. You know, that really doesn't look like anything some echinacea and a good night of sleep couldn't take care of." Stiles said as I tried keeping myself up and

standing, the poison was working faster than before.

"When the infection reaches my heart, it'll kill us" Derek replied to him as I was feeling tired.

"Positivity" just isn't in your vocabulary, is it?" Stiles said as I groaned in pain, doubling over slightly as my stomach was churning.

"If he doesn't get here with the bullet in time - Last resort." Derek said as he looked through a drawer.

"Which is?" Stiles asked him, Derek had torrents in one hand and a bone saw in another.

"You're gonna cut off our arms." Derek replied as I groaned in pain, I almost fell but Derek quickly placed the saw and torrents on the table and caught me.

"Oh, my God. What if you both bleed to death?" Stiles asked Derek as I felt worse,

"It'll heal if it works." Derek replied to him as I felt the rubber torrent being tied to where my shoulder met my collarbone, I stumbled a bit, but kept myself up

"Ugh. Look - I don't know if I can do this." Stiles replied, I growled at the feeling in my gut as it twisted and churned harder.

"Why not?" I growled as my eyes flashed, my control was dying.

"Well, because of the cutting through the flesh, the sawing of the bone, and especially the blood!" Stiles said as I made my fangs bare themselves.

"You faint at the sight of blood?" Derek growled at him as I felt my eyes flickering more by the second,

"No, but I might at the sight of a chopped - off arm!" Stiles retorted as my eyes were now full glow,

"All right, fine. How about this? Either you cut off our arms, or I'm gonna cut off your head." Derek said looking more and more pale by the minute. but I was full on

Twilight pale.

"Okay, you know what, I'm so not buying your threats any - Oh, my God." Stiles said before Derek grabbed him across the table pulling him towards his body and

breathing heavily. I began to cough, something in my throat,

"Okay. All right, bought, sold. Totally. I'll do it. I'll do it." Stiles said terrified, but Derek started coughing hard as much as I was,

"What? What are you doing?" Stiles asked him, which Derek threw up black blood, that caused me to throw up a bunch of black blood mixed with purple wolvesbane,

"Holy God, what the hell is that?" Stiles asked us as I wiped away the remnants from my mouth,

"It's our bodies - Trying to heal themselves." I said feeling my nose dripping, I put my hand up to it and pulled away, my nose was bleeding black blood.

"Well, it's not doing a very good job of it." Stiles retorted, but I growled at him.

"Now. You gotta do it now." Derek said holding me down as I began to go feral

"Look, honestly, I don't think I can." Stiles started but I growled,

"Just do it! " Derek roared at him,

"What about you" Stiles asked as I began to fight Derek's grip,

"I am not dying as fast as her, she's going to try to kill us before she die" Derek said as I was fighting more and more against my imprint's grip,

"Oh, my God. Okay, okay. Oh, my God. All right, here we go!" Stiles said as he prepped for something that could change us all. I felt Derek lean more towards my

body as I was fighting,

"Stiles!" Scott's voice filled my ears. I was still more feral

"Scott?" Stiles said as he took the saw off my shoulder. Scott appeared and saw what we were doing.

"What the hell are you doing?" Scott asked us and Stiles sighed,

"Oh, you just prevented a lifetime of nightmares." Stiles said happy, but I was fighting.

"Did you get it?" Derek asked Scott as I was fading fast, Scott reached into his pocket and gave Derek the bullet,

"What are you gonna do with it?" Stiles asked him,

"I'm gonna - I'm gonna -" Derek started but I then got out of his grip and headbutted him. The bullet went to the grate and Scott missed it, Derek was holding me to

the ground as I was trying to rip his throat out

"Jace, come on, come back" Derek was trying to get through my feral state,

"Scott, what the hell are we gonna do?"Stiles asked him as he was by his best friend,

"I don't know! I can't reach it." Scott replied, I slid out from under my imprint, but he restrained me again,

"Hurry" Derek yelled at them as I was biting the air, but I was almost done for.

"Come on." Scott said trying to get the bullet. I felt everything go into slow motion as I was slowing down to my death

"Give me" Derek said as he picked up my almost dead body and placed me on the table, I watched as his blurred form took apart the bullets, Derek got his lighter out

and burned the ash, as it sparked, he got it in his hand and looked at my wound. He then slammed the ash in the wound then pressed a finger to make the burnt ash

connect with the wound, I screamed as it was coursing through me, I watched in pain as Derek did the same to his own wound, soon we were both on the ground in

pure agony, we let roars out, soon the veins in my shoulder and arm depopped from the surface of my skin, my complexion went back to it's tan color. I looked at

Derek, his complexion went back to normal, I then just wrapped my arms around him,

"That - Was - Awesome! Yes!" Stiles said as Derek helped me up.

"Are you okay?" Scott asked us, I just kept to myself as Derek just held me in place as he took the torrent off of me,

"Well, except for the agonizing pain, going completely feral and almost killing my imprint." I growled at him as I began to take Derek's torrent off,

"I'm guessing the ability to use sarcasm is a good sign of health." Stiles said making me give him my bitch face, he just rubbed the back of his neck, "Okay, we saved

your life, which means you're gonna leave us alone, all of us you got that? And if you don't, I'm gonna go back to Allison's dad, and I'm gonna tell him everything"

Scott started but I growled at him,

"You're gonna trust them? You think they can help you?" Derek asked him.

"Well, why not? They're a lot freaking nicer than you are." Scott said making me wince at his response.

"I can show you exactly how nice they are. " I replied to him,

"What do you mean?" Scott asked us, we drove to the hospital,

"What are we doing here?"Scott asked us as I shut the blinds, I saw two familiar people both catatonic in wheelchairs, the room had two beds .

"Who are they?" Scott asked as he looked at Derek's uncle.

"My uncle. Peter Hale." Derek replied as I got to his side, and just placed a hand on his chest.

"And my uncle, Blake Lyuka" I said as I looked at my catatonic uncle.

"Are they - like you, a werewolf?"Scott asked again,

"They were. Now they're barely even human." I said as I felt a tear going down my cheek.

"Six years ago, my sister and I were at school, and our house caught fire. 11 people were trapped inside. He was the only survivor."Derek replied, I know his past,

"Same thing happened to my family, but thirteen died, and he survived" I said as Derek pulled me into his chest,

"So - What makes you so sure that they set the fire?"Scott asked us,

" 'Cause they're the only ones that knew about us." Derek said keeping me close.

"Well, then - They had a reason." Scott retorted to him,

"Like what? You tell me what justifies this." I said as Derek turned Peter and I turned Blake to show Scott the burns that both our uncles sustained in the fire,

"They say they'll only kill an adult, and only with absolute proof, but there were people in our families that were perfectly ordinary in the fires. This is what they do.

And it's what Allison will do." Derek growled at Scott,

"What are you doing? How did you get in here?" I looked to see Jennifer, Peter and Blake's nurse looking at us.

"We were just leaving." Derek replied to her. Derek took me back to the Hale House, I looked at the moon in the sky.

" How long?" Derek asked as I pulled my silk nightie on,

"I was told that my uncle survived the fire two weeks after we had left Beacon, but he was in a coma and still is" I said as he wrapped his arms around me.

"We can do this, the Alpha doesn't stand a chance"Derek said turning me around to see his green eyes staring into my dusk blue ones,

"One thing bothers me" I said as I placed my head on his chest,

"What?" Derek asked as I huffed,

"Whenever the Alpha attacks there is another scent" I said looking at my Imprint,

"So you think there is more than one Alpha?" Derek asked me,

"Maybe, I'm not sure" I said before he carried me to bed,

"We will figure it out baby" He said kissing my forehead,

"I love you"I said making him smile,

"As I love you" He replied before I fell asleep against his chest.
