Chapter 18: scents and struggles.

A few hours later, hallways.-

Scott was really calm while putting things in his locker, just thinking about everything that was happening around, trying to list every difference and every similarity between the original timeline and this one, suddenly someone got behind him and started to pull him.

"Scott! Quickly, what are they saying?" said Stiles to Scott while pulling him away from his locker. Scott knowing what comes next, just hid behind a wall and listened to the conversation between the sheriff and the school head.

"we have found a new body near the forest. A poor girl who wasn't older than 17 years old" said the sheriff with a serious tone and a hard expression on his face.

"oh my god, that's terrible, do you think she studied here?" asked the man with a worried expression.

"for what we know she did. Now, considering how dangerous things are getting, we have decided to call a curfew. Hope we can find this animal before another person gets killed" said the sheriff in a firm and demanding tone. The head of the high school only nods his head. Just when the sheriff was about to walk away, the man stopped him.

"excuse me, just out of curiosity and worry about my students, what happened to the girl?" asked the man a little nervous and scared. The sheriff gives him a serious look before answering.

"We found half of her body, we still haven't found the rest" said the sheriff leaving a shocked man behind.

Scott was stunned by the news. Another girl was cut in half, probably by the Alpha, something was really wrong. In Scott's head, the only question was, what the hell happened?

"so, what did they say?" asked Stiles noticing the change on the expression of his friend.

"they have found another dead body, half of a girl. Your dad is calling a curfew" said Scott with a low voice still a little stunned by what he heard. Stiles was surprised and instantly felt bad at the words.

"half of a girl?... what do you mean half?" asked despite he already imagined what Scott meant. Scott didn't answer, he took his phone out of his pocket and immediately called Laura, hoping that she was okay.

The phone ring 3 times before he could hear Laura's voice.

"pup? Hi, what do you need?" asked Laura with a happy voice. Scott releases a sigh full of relief.

"thank god you are okay" said Scott in a low voice.

"why wouldn't I be okay?" asked the girl with curiosity.

"listen to me Laura, this is important, I need you to tell Derek, Talia and Matthew that the sheriff found a newly dead body, to be more precise he found half of the body of a girl near the forest, probably it was the Alpha" said Scott with a serious expression while making sure that no one except for Stiles could hear him.

"oh my god, I'll tell them right away. Thanks for letting me know, bye pup" said the girl a little anxious.

"take care" said Scott finishing the call. When he turned around he saw Stiles giving him a look.

"dude, what are we going to do? if my father goes looking for that thing, imagine what could happen to him" said Stiles with worried on his voice and expression.

"I know, we need to think of something, I already told Laura so Talia and the rest will be on it. But still, we need to make sure your dad is okay. Maybe we should tell him" said Scott trying to think on a way to take down the Alpha.

"Okay, first of all, I saw that you called Laura, but you know that they won't help, if they could, they would have done something already. I mean, Scott, they have 2 Alphas, even if Peter is not exactly the most trustworthy person he at least does his job, and still they haven't been able to track down the killer Alpha in the last few days, and don't make me start with the last Alpha that was in beacon hills, you know, the one that almost killed you. I remember pretty well that in a conversation I was told that it took them at least a month to find him. Second, we are not telling my father, not yet, let's think on something else" said Stiles really nervous while walking around Scott.

"like what?" asked Scott a little tired.

"everything will be solved if we found out who the Alpha is, isn't it? So I just have to found the identity of this Alpha, at least a look or a description, or maybe if I found the other half of the dead body you mentioned, yes! that's what I'm going to do" said Stiles snapping his fingers before running away.

"Stiles! Wait, you can't... Stiles!" Scott wanted to stop him, but Stiles was gone in a blink and Scott was kind of tired to follow him, so he decided to deal with things later, for now, he needed to think on an alternative way to look for the Alpha.

Scott turns around prepared to go, and there he saw Allison, Lydia, and another boy. The moment Scott saw Allison an idea come to his mind, Chris was one of the best hunters, if not the best hunter that Scott has ever known, so if someone could help him to track down the Alpha, that was him, now the question was, how could he get Chris to help to find the Alpha? he couldn't just show up at their door and ask them to help him look for the Alpha, on the other hand, he knew that Chris would be focus on all the werewolves of beacon hills and not just the one that needed to be stopped, so anything Scott did would need to be serious enough to force Chris into taking actions against "the killer Alpha", Scott also needed to make sure to keep an eye on Jordan and make sure that everyone is alright, and besides all that now he needed to make sure that Stiles was okay and doesn't get himself killed for trying to find the Alpha by himself, so many things to do and so little time.

"God! This might be way worse than the first time I become a werewolf" said Scott barely louder than a whisper. He then decided that first thing first, he needed to find Stiles and make sure that his best friend doesn't do something stupid and dangerous like they always do.

A few hours later, McCall house.-

Scott was quietly waiting for his best friend while trying to organize his thoughts and making sure that his plan was good enough. Stiles entered running at full speed to the McCall house, he ran up the stairs and quickly got to Scott room.

"what did you find? How did you find it? Where did you find it? And yes, I've had a lot of Adderall, so..." Stiles was speaking really fast, which amused Scott, who only looked at his friend with a little smile.

"I haven't found anything" said Scott with a cool demeanor.

"what? But on the phone, you told me..." Stiles was talking with a tone full of confusion when he was interrupted by Scott.

"I lied, I knew you would be too invested in trying to find the other part of the dead body to hear my plan, so..." said Scott with a calm tone but by looking at his expression it was obvious that he didn't like to lie to his best friend. Stiles immediately understood Scott point but that wouldn't stop him to talk.

"you kidding? Now you lie to me about something important? Did you really think I wouldn't hear you out?" said Stiles with a false offended tone, Scott looked at his friend giving him a sad puppy like eyes, it took him a few seconds to realize that Stiles was just messing with him.

"oh my god! Sorry, I think I deserved that, but hear me out, I have a plan, divided into 2 parts but a plan" said Scott now feeling a little better. Stiles smiled at his friend and nod his head.

"Okay, let's hear it, but I hope it's something good because I'm pretty sure I was about to find the other half of the body when you called me" said Stiles with a serious tone but a half smile on his face. Scott nod at his words.

"Okay, this is the plan, you know that previously we couldn't get the Alpha scent, right? Well, we now have a chance to do so, you were heading in the right direction by trying to find the missing half of the body, but what actually might help us to find the Alpha is the part that we already have at reach..." said Scott with a little mischievous smile.

"the part that... I'm sorry, I'm lost here, weren't we supposed to look for the missing part? I mean, you said that I was right by trying to find the missing part, what help could we get by using... wait a minute! Of course, werewolf senses, the scent of the dead body, the scent of the Alpha, that's it, right?" Stiles at the beginning showed an expression of confusion that quickly changed to one of excitement and realization. Scott smiled at his friend who understood so fast what he meant.

"yes! The half that is in the morgue might be a little "contaminated" by other scents from when it was retrieved and examined, but it will have a particular scent that will match the other half of the body, and..." Scott was explaining when he was interrupted by an excited Stiles.

"and since the other half hasn't got in contact with anyone apart from the Alpha, who presumably killed the girl, it will be less contaminated than the half we have in the morgue..." Stiles continued.

"which means that we can use the half of the body that is currently in the morgue to find the missing half and then use the missing half to find the Alpha..." this time Scott interrupted his friend.

"but won't the missing part still be a little contaminated by the scents of its surrounding? I mean, how exactly will we know that we are heading in the right direction?" asked Stiles with a little of doubt about what they will do.

"we won't be a 100% sure about it, but the chances of finding the body or even getting the scent of the Alpha will increase even so slightly and that's way more than what we have now, I just need to go to the morgue and smell the half of the body, then we head to the place where the body was found and from there on I'll try to catch the scent of the missing half of the body, it will take us some time but if we do make it, then we might get at least a clue about the Alpha" said Scott standing up for the first time since Stiles entered his room.

"very well, I'll go with you, I might not have your sense of smell, but a second pair of eyes definitely will help... wait! What about Cora and Emily? wouldn't they want to help? And what about the rest of their family, shouldn't we tell them of our plan" Stiles was about to leave the room with Scott when he remembered their friends.

"to be honest, the help of Cora and Emily would be great to catch the scent of the dead body and the Alpha, but the 3 of us entering the morgue at the same time or even with a small difference in time will be too striking and suspicious, so, even if we call them it would be best for only one of us to enter the morgue, unless of course that we take off a part of the body to get the scent which I'm sure I don't want to do..." said Scott with a serious face and a little of disgust at the last part.

"yeah, you are right, I don't want the finger of a dead person close to me or something, on the other hand, we still should call them..." said Stiles trying to convince his friend, not that it was really necessary since Scott agreed with Stiles.

"let's head to your jeep, we'll call Cora and Emily on the way and told them to wait for us at the place the dead body was found, we also will call Matthew or Talia to tell them about the plan" said Scott quickly leaving his room and heading outside of his house with Stiles following him.

"perfect, but just out of curiosity, didn't you tell me that your plan was divided into 2 parts?" asked Stiles once they were outside Scott house and entering the jeep.

"yes, honestly I would prefer not to use the second part of the plan, since it includes the hunters, Allison's father actually, but depending on how things are, probably we'll need his help and obviously I can't just go to him and say, "Hi Mr. Argent, do you remember me? I'm one of Allison's friends, by the way, I'm a werewolf and I need your help to find another werewolf that is killing people in beacon hills", can I?" said Scott with a tired but still mocking smile to his best friend who only chuckled while starting the vehicle.

"you could try... but probably you would be shot with a crossbow, again, and pierced with an arrow, again... I get it, just tell me the other part of the plan on our way to the hospital".

"I'll tell you once we find the rest of the body and get some clue about the Alpha" Stiles only nod to Scott words.

A few minutes later, Beacon hills hospital.-

In just a matter of time, Scott and Stiles arrived at the beacon hills hospital. In their way to the hospital, they called both Matthew and Cora, informing them of their plan and what they wanted to do, Matthew got serious and quickly informed the rest of the family, Cora on her side, was a little angry that they were heading to see the half of the body without her, after some persuasion she agreed to meet them at the place that Stiles knew for a fact that was where the half of the body was found. Once the boys get to the place, they parted ways, Scott to see and smell the body and Stiles had to wait for him. It was kind of easy to find half of the body in the morgue, Scott prepared himself for what he could see, although he has seen so much in his previous life, he still was nervous, once he put himself together, he started to methodically inspect and examine the bottom half of a female body, the damage, cuts, bruises, any indication or clue, and especially trying to get her scent.

Meanwhile, Stiles was waiting for Scott and noticed Lydia sitting close to him, Stiles immediately got excited at the sight of the girl he has a huge crush on, he moved around awkwardly trying to figure out what to do, after a few seconds he got the courage to talk to her.

"Hey, Lydia! You probably don't remember me, hmm... I sit behind you in biology. Eh, anyway, I always thought that we had this kind of connection... you know, unspoken, of course, and maybe it would be better to get to know each other a little better..." Stiles spoke nervously while Lydia only moved in her seat and make some facial expression. Once Stiles stop speaking, Lydia moves her head slightly and talked.

"hold on! Give me a second... yeah, Stiles, I didn't get anything you just said, is it worth repeating it?" indicated the girl with a calm but demanding expression.

Stiles realizes that Lydia didn't hear him because, apparently, she was talking with someone else through her earbuds. He stayed staring Lydia with his mouth slightly open before once again find the courage to answer her question.

"umm... yes! What I wanted to tell you was that... I think it would be good to get to know each other a little better... and that I think we would connect, somehow, especially because I can see more than the facade you put for others..." it took him all his strength to be able to say those words, but they were full of honesty and even a confident tone. Lydia's eyes were wide open from the surprise she got at Stiles show of courage and his words, she was both surprised and impressed, so she could only see him for a few seconds with an intense and analytic gaze, that until both Stiles and Lydia heard someone clearing its throat and when they looked to their side they saw a very angry Jackson who gave a murderous look to Stiles.

Scott just finished examining the body and was sure he had the scent of the body, now he and Stiles only needed to go find Cora and Emily and start to look for the rest of the body.

"get away from my girlfriend you loser!" Scott hears an angry and familiar tone of voice.

Once Scott got to the place Stiles was supposed to be waiting for him, he noticed a very angry Jackson holding Stiles against the wall with one hand while he was about to punch Stiles with his right fist, and more surprising than that was the fact that Lydia seemed to be trying to stop Jackson.

"Jackson! let him go! you're making a scene" Lydia seemed to be really annoyed and pissed off by the situation.

"not without first give this loser a lesson about who is the one in charge here!" said Jackson with a threatening tone, he couldn't let someone try to take what was his, and Lydia was his girlfriend, the fact that someone even dared to try to go for her knowingly was a hit to his pride. Just when Jackson was about to give a full hit on Stiles' face, someone grab him by the back of his t-shirt and easily pull him back.

Jackson composed himself as soon as possible and tried to go for Stiles once again but Scott got in the middle and without effort push Jackson back once again.

"it seems like your shoulder is better" Scott talked with a serious and dangerous tone. Jackson wasn't stupid enough to not notice how pissed off Scott was by the fact that he tried to hit his best friend, but that wasn't all, the cold tone in Scott's voice sends shivers through his spine and he felt a little of fear at the dominant Scott that was in front of him, and even then he stood his ground and didn't back down.

"get out of the way McCall, this is between Stiles and me" Jackson spit the words with fury. This was a double hit for his pride in less than an hour, even less than 10 minutes, Scott and Stiles always irritated him but this time he was more than annoyed with this two guys.

"try to punch Stiles once again, and I'll make sure that you stay in this place for at least a whole month" Scott was able to say everything in a calm and low tone, but his eyes and the way he said it makes it obvious that it wasn't an empty threat but more like a promised.

Jackson stepped back a little at the way Scott acted in front of him, this wasn't the usual Scott, this is the Scott that Jackson knows that would actually hurt him and get violent, the Scott that in more than one occasion threat him to know if something happened in Isaac's house, the Scott that Jackson knew he couldn't face. Of course, Jackson wasn't the only one surprised and taken aback by Scott attitude, Lydia gasped at the Scott in front of her, of the few times she has actually interacted with Scott in the last few years, for her he was like the comic hero, kind, protective, caring and even a little too naive, he was smart but not arrogant, he would always wear a smile on his face and even when he was serious, it was usually for the sake of others, but this Scott was obviously different, serious, calm, brave, mature and dominant, he seemed so calm and didn't even need to raise his voice, but the message was clear, mess with my friends and you will pay, she was both shocked and taken by surprise at this side of Scott. Stiles on his side was both happy to have his friend getting his back and surprise of seeing again the serious and overprotective side of Scott, as he liked it to call it.

"I'll recommend you not to try Scott patience when he gets like this" indicated Stiles getting away from the wall.

"Jackson! let's go! there's no need to be here anymore" she took him by his arm and was ready to drag him out even if she needed to do it by force.

"this is not over!" Jackson sends a last death glare that although it worried Stiles a little, Scott was completely unaffected by it, then Jackson followed Lydia out of the hospital and Lydia give a last look back at both friends.

"fuuu... that was close, thanks for getting my back bro" although stiles sigh deeply he still had a smile on his face while patting Scott in his shoulders. Scott also sighs and smiled at his best friend.

"seriously? I'm pretty sure I wasn't gone for even 5 minutes and you got yourself in troubles" Scott pointed out with a mocking tone.

"Hey! It was for a good cause, I was able to say what I wanted to Lydia, a little at least, and for a moment I could swear that she was considering it" Stiles was obviously excited at the idea.

"you 2 still are young Stiles, don't rush things, if you keep being loyal to yourself then it will happen" Scott indicated using what he learned after years as a werewolf in his previous life.

"I don't like that idea, and only because you are waiting to be with Cora, just recently met Allison and now you are getting confused over what you feel about her, and you have had some thoughts regarding Emily, it doesn't mean that everyone should do the same" Stiles say all that as a kind of joke, but seeing how surprised and hurt Scott expression was he realize the mistake he made.

"it... it's not like that... it's complicated..." of course, how could Scott explain to his best friend that although he was sure of his feeling for Cora, these feeling came from a timeline in which they have been mates for years and have lived so much together, but the Cora from this timeline was slightly different and is so young from Scott perspective, how could Scott explain that the reason why he was so confused about his feeling for Allison is due to him having loved her and lost her in a previous life, the one girl that no matter what will always be his first love and someone he will always love in some kind of way, he didn't even know if he could explain that the reason he had thoughts regarding Emily was because he never met her in his previous life, but since the moment they met and after years of getting to know each other, she has grown on him and he has developed a liking for the girl, hell, all the Hale girls were so much his type, all of them have grown on him in some way, including Laura, but Emily certainly was a welcomed surprise.

Technically speaking, Scott was old, compared to his friends of course, and he was from the future so he should have all the answers, he was wiser and more experienced than most of the people he knew in this timeline, but the truth was that when it was things concerning feelings, Scott was having a hard time to even understand himself, and with all the changes that started to happen in comparison to the original timeline, things were getting even more complicated for Scott McCall.

"Hey! Scott! don't worry, I was joking, I'm sorry okay, it was a bad joke of my side. I shouldn't bring that up, you probably are a mess in your mind right now, and I get it, Emily and Cora had been there for years now, and they both are close friends of you and you have shared so much together, but Allison is attractive and apparently not only likes you but also seem to have something that you like, and you might feel confused but you two are drawn to each other, and you are a horny hormonal teenager which pretty much makes it worst. Just know that I got your back, and as you said, there's no rush" Stiles tried to lift Scott mood since he seemed to have gotten a little sadder and pained.

Scott looked at his best friend and after a few seconds he took a deep breath and shake his head to compose himself.

"I got the scent, we should go" Scott instantly started to walk out of the hospital followed by Stiles.

Several minutes later, the forest.-

Scott and Stiles headed to the forest as soon as possible, they stayed silent all the way to the forest, mainly because Stiles didn't know what to do or say, or even if his best friend was still affected by his words at the hospital. Scott on his side was thinking about the whole situation, of course, that every once in a while a thought related to Stiles words came to his mind, but he mainly was thinking about the killer Alpha and whether they might need Chris to help to take down the Alpha.

Scott and Chris relationship had a weird development in his previous life, they started not trusting each other, Scott was even afraid of Chris while Chris was wary of Scott, then, little by little, although they no longer were that worried about the other, they still had an invisible line that separate them, after some more time they started to trust in each other in times of need, which later lead to them working together on a more regular basis and to trust each other with their lives, they even got to care for each other, and finally, after Chris and Melissa fall in love with each other and eventually got married, their relationship only improved, Chris became more like a father figure to Scott and he certainly worked hard to be there for Scott and to keep him in check, of course, they knew that there would always be an invisible line that separated them and their father-son relationship, a line that didn't break until Melissa died, which was a hard blow for both of them, Scott was devastated, he barely could keep himself together and the only reason why he could was thanks to his pack, Chris on the other hand, although he could control his emotions way better than Scott, he still break down eventually, it took him some time to compose himself and then he worked hard to protect the child of the woman he loved and the son that he considered Scott to be, it was even obvious that Chris became way more protective of him after his mother died, Scott didn't think much about it, it was clear for him, after losing so many people, specially his daughter that he loved so much, Chris couldn't forgive himself to lose another child, even if Scott wasn't his real son, their relationship got to the point in which Chris considered Scott as his own, and having lost his daughter only created a profound wound that became fear of losing Scott the same way he lost Allison, that's one of the reasons that made Chris stay with the pack and keep fighting. The problem was that the Chris from this time wasn't his father, this wasn't the man who he has lived so many life and death moments with, this wasn't the man who married his mom and eventually consider him as his own son, this wasn't the same man he considered as his own father, no... this was the man that still would be wary of him, the man who would distrust him, the man who would put a bullet in his head without blinking, the only things that Scott could be sure about this Chris argent was that he loved his family more than anything else, that he followed and believed in the code with his heart, the fact that Chris would never kill an innocent until proved otherwise, Chris was always a good man, but it was no longer the man he knew as his father.

"we are here..." indicated Stiles with a low tone.

Both boys got out of the car and could see Derek, Cora, and Emily a few steps away from them.

"Hi everyone!" Stiles greet everyone as cheerfully as he could, however, only Derek greets him, and only with a slight nod.

"Cora, Emily, so good to see that you are already here. Derek... what are you doing here? I thought that you were looking for the alpha" Scott was confused for 2 reasons, first of all, Derek was there despite the fact that it was supposed to be in Beacon Hills looking for any clue about the Alpha, and the second one was the fact that Cora and Emily seemed pissed off and didn't even greet him or Stiles.

"Matthew told me about your plan to get the Alpha scent by smelling the half of the dead body that is currently somewhere in this area, so I decided that I might be way more useful here, besides, my mom decided to join Peter to patrol Beacon Hills" Derek seemed calmed while talking, although he would every once in a while send a glance to his little sister and his cousin.

"I see, well, if Talia and Peter are working together then they might have a better chance at finding something related to the Alpha, meanwhile, we'll try to get the scent here, between the four of us and Stiles, we might get a better chance to find something..." Scott smiled slightly looking at the people around him.

"Oh, thanks for considering me apart of you" Stiles smiled but the tone was everything, it was a combination of mockery and being offended.

"you know what I mean..." Scott chuckled at his best friend comment, Derek looked at both and his mouth twitches a little in a smile that only lasted seconds.

"Wow! Is good to see that you haven't forgotten about us, Scott" Cora had her arms crossed over her chest, she spoke with a hard tone and a scowl on her face. The comment surprised at the 3 guys around her, Emily on her side seemed unaffected.

"...what?" Scott was confused at the tone she used, and that confusion was easily shown on his facial expression.

"Yeah, I mean, is not like we are important friends for you or anything, we just have known each other for a few years and have lived so much together, why would you even remember we exist" Emily smiled the whole time and talked with such a cheerful tone that not only confused Scott even more, but it also made Stiles and Derek give a step back and look at the girls warily.

"I... I don't... what?" Scott was left speechless, the girl rarely has ever used that tone with him or anyone for that matter, and he didn't understand why they started to say things like that so suddenly. Derek realized that Scott might have done something that hurt the girls, and knowing that Scott would try to know what happened and fix it, he decided to move ahead and start to look for some weird scent or something that might help them.

"Oh, don't worry, we'll start looking for the scent of the dead body, I mean, is not like it would have been easier if we actually knew the scent of the other half of the body..." Emily raised her hands giving Scott a signal that everything was okay. Cora and Emily started to walk away.

Stiles, on his side, was struggling not to comment something, he was as confused as Scott but it was in his nature to give some comment or be a smart ass in this kind of situations, still, seeing how the girls were apparently royally pissed off, he decided that the smart move was walking away, the girls were getting away of Scott and Stiles could see Derek at a surprisingly far away distance, he obviously decided to get away from the problem, Stiles did the same trying not to be noticed.

"wait! Girls, I don't understand, could you tell me what did I do wrong..." he was preoccupied about their behavior. Scott wasn't stupid, this wasn't the first time that a girl would get pissed off at him, especially Cora, although it was way more common in his previous life, on the other hand, Emily definitely has never acted like this when she gets angry at him, so obviously for him, he either did something or something happened and he didn't realize.

Both girls try to just walk away, Scott move faster and got in front of them but they only looked at him with scowls on their faces and their arms crossed over their chest.

"Please, what did I do?" this time Scott tone was lower and softer.

"is not what you did, it's what you didn't do..." said Cora with a raised eyebrow and clenching her teeth. Scott seemed confused to her words earning a deeper glare from both girls.

"Scott, what are we for you? Are we classmates? Someone, you trust? Someone, you care about? Are we even friends?" Emily had a smile on her face but her tone wasn't of amusement at all, her tone was rather dry and unfamiliar to Scott.

"of course you are, both of you, you are my friends. I trust you and I care about you, I wouldn't question that for even one second" Scott tone was firm and full of confidence. The girls share a look and then sigh, Cora looked at Scott again, her facial expression still serious, Emily looked at Scott and just chuckle in a rather hard way.

"Scott... I might have a crush on you, a huge one, but I'm. Not. a dog. You can't just give your back to me, barely talk to me at all, and then came back just to bark orders..." Emily was slowly walking closer to Scott and growling dangerously to him. Scott now had a scowl on his face produced by the confusion and disbelief of what he heard.

"Emily, I've never given you my back, if anything I'll always have your back, you are one of the most trustworthy people I've ever known and I'm not trying to ordering you around or treat you like a dog, the only reason why I've been giving orders to you and the others is because the Alpha must be stopped and no one seemed to come with a plan or at least with something even closer that might help us, this might not be the best plan and certainly it might be uncomfortable to do this kind of things, but I don't know what else to do and we can't let the Alpha running around turning and killing innocent people" Scott voice started to raise little by little with every word he was saying, he stopped before he started to yell of course, but his tone still was loud and hard.

Emily slightly gives a step back at Scott words, the same way that Scott was not used to being talked in a certain way by Emily and Cora, Emily was not used to receiving a hard tone from Scott especially him seeming getting pissed off. Cora saw the reaction of her cousin and immediately she growls at Scott.

"really? Scott... I don't care if you give orders to all of us, I don't care if we have to follow your plan, because it's true that this is all we've got to get that stupid Alpha, that's not why we are angry with you. We are angry with you because you have barely talked to us in the last few days, you basically only talked to us when it was strictly necessary and if it was related to the Alpha or things like that, actually, you practically ditch us since that girl argent came here, and this is not some shit about being jealous about you liking her or not, this is about, someone we have considered our friend for years, suddenly leaving us behind, only talking to us to tell us what to do and nothing else. Seriously, I wouldn't even care if you give me a mission or an order so we can protect Beacon Hills and our territory, the thing is that you have been talking to us only for that matter. This that we are supposed to do now, this plan of yours, you didn't even consider to tell us first, you called Matthew first than us, did you know that when you called me Matthew was already calling Emily to tell her the plan? The first person he called was his daughter, not even my mom who is the Alpha of our family, but his daughter, you on the other hand, you called Matthew? We could have understand that you have told Stiles first since you two are like brothers and do almost everything together, but us, we have been close to you since almost the beginning of all this, and what do we get of that? this last few days you have barely talked to us and it seems like you don't even realize we exist, when you and Stiles took that Jordan guy from the lacrosse team and realize he was a new beta, the first thing you did was tell Isaac to call Derek, then, when you found out about the dead body you called Laura and she informed us, we study in the same fucking high school and we were practically the last ones to find out, and now this, you make a plan, don't tell us anything, then you called us, we are not even the first ones you called, and you told us your plan and only gave us orders to came here, you didn't even consider our suggestion of going to the hospital to get the scent so it could be easier for us to help, you didn't even hear the idea of Emily about bringing a finger or something to get the scent of the body, no, you just give us orders, the same that you did when you came to the loft to see what we had to do with Jordan, you came in, make a plan and start giving orders, and we heard you because we trust you, we decided to accept the job despite the fact that neither me nor Emily want to babysit anyone, we did it, for you, and for our family, and for out city... fuuu... I know you might be stressed with all that is happening, we are too, my whole family, you are not the only one who cares for others so don't act like you are, and by the way, this situation don't give you the right to be a crappy friend, specially with both of us..." Cora rant was quite loud and fast, it was a surprise for Scott to hear everything that Cora was keeping inside, he was left speechless and breathless. Scott looked at both girls and could notice their wet eyes and their erratic breathing, before Scott could say anything or apologize, both girls walked away on him.
