Chapter 19: the Alpha and its new pack.
It's been already several minutes since they started to look for half of the dead body. Stiles and Scott went together, Derek was the first to start searching so he was kind of far away for the moment, Emily and Cora went for opposites ways trying to find the right scent.
"this is not uncomfortable at all..." Stiles barely muttered for himself, even so, since Scott has enhanced hearing he still could hear to his best friend which make him feel worse.
"did I… really treat them like that?… was I that bad with them?" Scott asked more for himself than anything, but with Stiles besides him and Scott thinking out loud, he earns a worried glance from his best friend.
"I wouldn't say bad… but I would be lying if I say that you have taken them into consideration in this last few days... honestly, it hasn't been happening just the last few days, and sometimes I also feel like you are letting me behind, of course, not as much as the girls since at last, I'm with you most of the time… I think that the period of time in which I felt closer to what the girls are feeling right now was during those years in which I didn't know about the supernatural and you wouldn't tell me..." Stiles expression was full of sorrow at the memory of Scott getting further away from him, and understanding about how the girl must be feeling right now.
Scott closed his eyes and sighed deeply, he was starting to understand what his best friend was telling him and what the girls were indicating previously, he even was able to fully feel and smell the girls emotions and he was about to whimper in pain. For Scott it was hard to keep the people he wanted close to him, right now he had so much in his mind, and he knew that what Stiles told him was true, even though he never stayed away from Stiles, he didn't tell him about the supernatural for many years, and even if he knew that that was what he needed to do, he understood how it might have hurt his best friend and brother to not be able to help him and know what was happening with him, with the girls was something similar, they were really important to him, but with all his worries about the changes in time and the new packs and problems that started to arise in this timeline, he didn't have time to focus on anything or anyone else, it wasn't on purpose, but it affected his friends and the people close to him. his mother still didn't know that he is a werewolf despite the fact that he wanted to tell her as soon as possible, and although they have a better situation and relationship than the first time, just the fact that he was hiding something so important about himself to his mother showed how troublesome things were getting, he lied to his best friends for several years and will need to keep lying, he was so focused with all the problems at sight that he barely has talked not only with Cora and Emily but also with Boyd, Erica and Isaac, being Isaac the only person besides Stiles that he talks more with and that only because during lacrosse practice he can relax for a while. Scott was supposed to keep the people important to him closer than the first time, but without realizing he was starting to pushing them away, even Allison, with who he probably was more attentive and even then he still pushes her away since he was confused about whether date her again or not. Scott knew that he needed to put his shit together and not only apologize to the girls, but also to show them how truly sorry he was, show them how important they were to him, and do the right thing by keeping his family... his pack... together.
"I'll fix this… I won't let my pack alone… I need everyone to understand that I might be a little secretive every once in a while and that I won't always have an explanation for the things I say or do, but I always have the back of my family… my pack… of everyone who is important to me… and that includes all of you..." Scott stated just loud enough for Cora, Emily, Stiles, and even Derek to hear him, his tone was full of confidence and it was definitive, like a promise, he was serious and he meant every word. Scott was remembering himself that the reason he came back wasn't only to get stronger to defeat his enemies, but also to keep the people he cared about together and alive, to save them and be with them.
Scott didn't see it since he didn't look back, but Stiles gave him a thin but honest smile after hearing his words. Derek chuckled a little at Scott statement, he knew that Scott cared, and he also knew that Scott was the kind of person who would put pressure on himself, especially with people in danger, so he didn't think much of it when Scott stopped being as cheerful and communicative as he used to be in exchange to be serious and thoughtful about what to do to deal with their current problem, obviously not everyone would take it the same way as him, he knew that Talia and Matthew didn't have a problem with Scott recent attitude, actually, it was like if they like it when he took control, but they also knew that it would be temporary, but then again, it was obvious that it would hit the girls harder than himself and the rest of the family, however, he knew that sooner or later they would be at peace again. Emily just gave a shaky breath, usually she wouldn't be like this, but the idea of Scott, who could be considered not only her crush but one of his closest friends and someone she trust so much, pushing her away and forgetting about her, or even worst, the idea of him only using her for his benefit and seeing her as some kind of loyal pet, that hurt her so much that she could barely breath, It was ridiculous for her actually, she knew that Scott wasn't like that, but seeing him so caught up with other things, even if they are important, gave her the feeling that their relationship wasn't as important for him as it is for her, and yet, she convince herself to trust him just one more time. Cora, on the other hand, she was just scowling, she knew that Scott had good intentions, and she knew that it might be considered silly to act and say the things she did, especially knowing the kind of situation they were facing, but she was sure that she was not a puppet, she was not a pet, and she was not there just for the fun of others, so she made it clear in her mind, she would always got Scott back, but she at least wanted some appreciation in return, she wanted the thing to be clear, pack member or friends? Whatever was the answer it would determinate how she would deal with Scott in the future, but for now, she decided to give him the benefit of the doubt… as soon as he shows that he cares.
Meanwhile, in some part of Beacon Hills.-
Peter and Talia have been patrolling for a few hours now, Talia had decided to help with the patrol of Beacon Hills even before she was informed of the new plan of Scott, and although she wasn't completely sure if it would work, it was still a plan worth trying and she certainly was enjoying analyzing and observing first hand the leadership and strategy of the young Beta known as Scott McCall.
"aren't you enjoying this patrol like a little too much" Peter seemed amused at the idea, usually he would be doing the patrolling either alone or with Laura, Derek o Matthew, most of the times only 2 members of the pack would patrol at the same time, but this time Talia decided to accompany Peter, and although they stayed separated during most of the patrol, they decided to be a little more natural and have a walk together while chatting a little.
Peter and Talia were walking down the street, keeping their enhanced senses on alert in case they could see, hear, smell or feel anything.
"Honestly, this is quite relaxing, more than I remember, it wasn't the same with our older sister or with father" Talia was quite calm and had a slight grin on her face, she was just breathing and remembering about the past.
"Yeah, dad wasn't very patient or even good at looking around, too easy to get distracted, and our sister never liked it when she had to make patrols, even if it was in our territory, fighting on the other hand, she was quite the fighter, there was no way to knock her down" Peter has one of those smiles that are so uncommon on him, a sincere smile brought to him thanks to the memories of the family he lost in the fire.
"I remember that dad would always tell us that this was one of the most important jobs, to see and detect anything suspicious and to stay alert in case that anything dangerous to our family could happen" Talia sigh while sitting down in a bench at the park. Peter looked up and then to his sister before sitting down.
"we should have listened to him more often, we were too cocky and we lost almost everyone, we might have not survived at all" he clenched his hands furiously while clenching his teeth, Talia would have stopped him but in all honesty, she was thinking the same.
"Derek and Laura were out that day, and Cora was also outside, probably they would have been the only ones to survive… I would have left my children alone… on the run… fuuu… I thank whatever god that might exist for keeping our family safe, even if just a bunch of us survived..." Talia seemed both tired and thoughtful.
"I don't thank a god… but I certainly don't plan on wasting this second chance… we are stronger than ever Talia, this is the first time that our family has more than one Alpha, our numbers might be low, but it would take just a few Betas to start recovering for the ones we lost..." Peter seemed calm while sitting in the park and watching the trees and the birds, but his tone was a mix of anger, pride, and finally hope.
"fuuu… I know what you mean… I also know what you plan to do with the mysterious woman responsible for the fire, but I also know that we can be better..." she looked at his brother direct to his eyes with a decisive look.
"… I respect you, Talia, and I consider you the Alpha of the Hale pack, but not even you will stop me from taking revenge… on the other hand, we need to start to think in increasing our numbers, grow stronger so this stupid Alphas and enemy packs keep considering us a target..." Talia only could release a deep and long sigh at the words of her brother, it was obvious that he made a decision related to the culprit of the Hale fire, but she also knew that he was right in one thing, they needed to get stronger and bigger, lately a lot of packs have been coming to Beacon Hills just to take the Hale territory, and they started to appear after the fire, even the Alpha pack which was her main concern, 2 Alphas was good, but not enough, they needed more, they needed to show their power and rise again from the ashes.
"what about Derek friends? it's been already some time since they meet us and they all seem to be more comfortable and happier staying with us than in their homes, considering their situations it wouldn't be difficult to convince them" Talia this time was in her serious mode, with a tone full of calm and even a little of dominance.
"of course, they might work, the only problem would be how they see what we do… what we have to do… I would recommend to chose people without a home, nothing to lose, only the desire for power and their continuous fight for survival… or, if you don't feel comfortable with that, maybe we could convince Scott best friend, Stiles, to become a werewolf" although what Peter said at the beginning wasn't a bad idea, she didn't want immoral people to become werewolves, she wanted people who could put a limit to their actions and have certain control over the shift and their new powers, so even if she wouldn't discard that idea that easily, she still was reluctant to follow that path, but what Talia was more than surprised by was the words of her brother related to turning Stiles, she also thought about it, the kid was smart, with quick thinking and definitely had a strong will, he was also caring and supportive his best friend and was willing to help them, she thought that only a stupid and blind Alpha would not consider Stiles as werewolf material, however, she also knew that Stiles didn't want the bite, he said it himself when Peter offered it before, Stiles saw what was happening with that boy named Jordan, how the boy lost his conscience and tried to kill Stiles, that obviously gave Stiles a negative impression about the bite and not only that, but although he was a teenager which gave him better chances to survive the bite, it was still not something they could be 100% sure it would work, it might even kill him and that would be terrible, for everyone, especially Stiles father and Scott.
"No! Stiles already made his decision about the bite, we have rules and it's risky to give the bite anyway so let's not give more talk to this, we might turn him only if he ever change his mind, in the future, and only if he wants to, it's clear..." her tone of finality was everything required to make Peter stop with the matter, he sighs with a tired expression, obviously he wasn't happy about it but he accept Talia's words.
"Fine, let's forget about it… for now at least. What do we do? We need to find people willing to accept the bite even knowing that they could die, do you really think that Scott little group would willingly accept the bite? Will we tell them that they could go on a rampage and start slaughtering people? that is if they survive of course, or maybe you won't tell them about the chance of dying" Peter had a little smirk and was giving his sister a mocking tone. Talia rolled her eyes at her brother words but still thought that there was a certain truth in what he said.
"… we have to tell them, that's how we work, the bite is a gift, our family is not like others, we don't just go around turning people, we think and we plan and we analyze our options… we'll tell them about everything they need to know, it's their right to be informed about the situation if they will accept the bite" although her words were filled with confidence, she certainly had some doubts in her mind, and Peter was smart enough to see through her.
"whatever you say, that doesn't mean that things can't go wrong, there's always the chance that one of them won't be able to bear the truth, what happens if they tell everyone about us, of course, people won't just believe a teenager with problems, but the hunters, they might think we plan to do something and then they will come for us, no questions asked, and they will annihilate us..." Peter this time was dead serious with a low tone and a growl coming from his throat.
"what do you propose then?" asked the woman with a challenging tone and a flicker of red glow in her eyes that soon fade.
"Hmm… you trust Scott, I personally don't trust him, but he's not an idiot, or not a big one at least, I read the documents with information about the guys that he brought to be part of Derek's pack..." at the words of Peter, Talia's eyes were wide open, she was sure that Matthew and she had kept the documents away from the reach of Peter. Peter rolled his eyes at the reaction of his sister.
"how did you…" she wasn't able to finish her question when Peter snorted.
"do you really think you could keep this kind of things from me? Come on Talia, you should know me better than that. don't worry, making Derek and Alpha is not a bad idea, with me being an Alpha now, and you, then Derek, it would be like our own Alpha pack, only that we will have also some "puppies" to do the job for us, a bigger and better Hale pack, that's what I want, that's what we deserve. At the beginning I thought our little Scott was a danger for us, imagine my surprise when I discover that he actually wanted to make Derek an Alpha, or the day he almost died, when he gave me the signal to kill the Alpha, making me an Alpha myself, then the documents with possible Betas for our pack, he seems eager to make us grow, to make our family and pack stronger, that's the only reason why I've been slightly nicer with him, I still think that there's something suspicious about the boy, of course. Anyway, as I said before, I read the documents, the little groups seems promising, but, we can't turn them, not yet, they are supposed to become Derek Betas, and I know you don't want to just turn the kids or to take Derek Betas away, he seems to have grown fond of them, so, I propose for you to let me find my own Betas..." Peter showed a confident smile, he was sure of what he was doing, and he also was already sure who he would choose, that was one of the advantages of constantly patrolling Beacon Hills, he got to find and see interesting people.
Talia stared at her brother trying to understand what he wanted, she wanted to see and read his real intentions, the idea of Peter making his own betas, was both interesting and a little frightening. Just when Talia was about to give a response to Peter, both started to feel something, both stand up abruptly and looked around. After a few seconds, they spot a girl shaking her head violently who had a familiar smell.
"that girl! Is she..." Peter didn't get to finish his sentence when they heard the faintest sound of what seemed to be a werewolf howl which was coming from really far away into the forest.
While Talia and Peter were surprised by the howl, the girl perks up looking at the direction the howl came from and she was running at an amazing speed to the direction of the forest.
"we need to get her and the Alpha!" said Talia before running away at full speed followed by Peter.
"Finally some real action" growled the man with an almost happy tone.
At the same time, in some part of the forest.-
"still nothing?" Stiles groaned for the tenth time in the last 10 minutes. Scott only rolled his eyes while sniffing the air trying to get the scent of the dead body.
"no Stiles, still nothing, just like the last… WAIT! mm… I think I smell something… I GOT THE SCENT!" yelled Scott so the rest could hear him. Stiles sigh in relief while Scott had a smile on his face, both looked at each other starting to run in the direction of the scent that Scott caught. Emily, Cora, and Derek heard Scott yell and immediately started to run in his direction.
"ROAAAAAR!" the powerful roar followed by a howl make everyone stop in an instant.
"was that..." Emily was more than surprised by the sudden roar, and she recognizes the call.
"the Alpha?… it's the Alpha!" Derek at the beginning seemed confused, but quickly put himself together and with a new determination, he ran once again in the direction Scott was heading.
"just when we got the scent of the dead body the Alpha appears, I don't know why I didn't expect it, but now I have a bad feeling about this" Stiles said with an annoyed tone and a rolled of his eyes while following his best friend.
"if we can get it now, we can stop him once and for all" Scott was confident and determinant to stop the killer Alpha.
They continue running for a while, Emily, Cora, and Derek quickly got close behind Scott and Stiles.
"Everyone stop!" the group got to a slightly more open part of the forest, they could hear sounds of footsteps and growls coming from behind the trees, they also could feel the Alpha close to them.
"can you hear that?… at least 13 heartbeats" Cora's eyes were wide open and her voice trembling a little at the realization that they were surrounded.
Everyone started to look around and get on guard prepared to fight.
"Stiles, use this" Scott threw his knife to Stiles, it was the special silver knife covered in wolfsbane that Scott used to use to fight. Stiles catch it and immediately prepare himself to fight to know that with such a difference in numbers things would get messy.
"we are surrounded, why is the Alpha not moving?" Emily was starting to get irritated and nervous, they could feel and hear how several werewolves around them were preparing to attack, it was an ambush in which the werewolves of the Alpha were the predators and they were the prey.
The tension was growing and everyone besides Scott was starting to lost their temper. Finally, after a few minutes preparing to attack, the Alpha got in front of Scott and the rest, and the other werewolves also show themselves surrounding the group.
"GRRR!" the Alpha walked slowly until it was several meters away from Scott and the rest. The Alpha had its head high and looked down on the puppies and the human in front of it.
"you finally got out of your hiding place, good, now we'll make you regret coming here" Derek show his fangs, claws and cold steel blue eyes preparing himself to attack the Alpha, but the Alpha only makes a mocking sound which makes Derek greet his teeth.
"calm down Derek, we'll deal with it, but you can't lose focus" said Scott with a calm tone, able to relax Derek a little.
The werewolves around them started to get closer while growling menacingly.
"any plan? Someone?" Stiles asked the rest with a serious and nervous tone.
"Stiles, did you bring what I ask you to? The jar I left in your house a few months ago" asked Scott with a serious tone looking menacingly to the werewolves getting closer.
"I did, but… I… Hmm... left it in my car" Stiles looked at Scott who closes his eyes at listening to his best friend answer.
"ROAAAR!" done with so much talking, the Alpha gives the order for its werewolves to attack. They all lunge against Scott and his group.
Scott quickly put himself in between the werewolves and Stiles, making sure that his best friend would be okay. Derek in an instant was knocking down the young werewolves, one with yellow eyes and another with blue eyes, they seemed to be animals more than werewolves, and really wild, so every time Derek would knock them down the would quickly stand up and attack Derek again without worrying about the damage they might receive. Emily fought against other 2 werewolves, a young girl and an old man, both with blue eyes, she was easily dodging and hitting the young girl, but the old one was taking any chance to scratch and try to slash Emily's throat. Cora was having problems with a young boy and an old man, both with blue eyes, the younger attacked fiercely to Cora, which makes his moves more easy to read but also more dangerous, there was no control over the young one, but the old man was more in control, it would attack Cora any time the young one would fail his target, Cora was slowly being pushed back.
"why are they acting so wild?" Stiles asked while dodging the best he could the attack of the werewolves around him, he was also fighting but couldn't stop noticing how different these werewolves acted compare to the ones he has known by now.
"they have no control. Shit!… the young ones completely… ugh, ROAAAR!… the young ones completely submit to their Alpha's will..." Derek with a serious tone answered Stiles question while fighting with werewolves, no matter how many times he would throw them away, they kept coming back and more werewolves were joining them.
"Stiles, duck down!" Stiles follow Scott instruction and was able to dodge the claws of an old werewolf. Scott immediately punches the werewolf sending him flying away, then he blocks a punch from a young female werewolf and jumps high to evade the tackle of another one, once Scott stabilizes himself on the ground, he started to punch and kick every werewolf that he could see, but they kept getting back for more.
The Alpha only looked from a few meters away while the pack was struggling to face the 13 werewolves that didn't stop their attempts to kill them.
"we can't keep this way… we need to do something… GRRR!" Emily was losing her patience, she was holding back to not kill anyone of the young ones since although they were dangerous they didn't have control over their actions, but the fight was getting too complicated to keep showing mercy.
"We need to stop… the Alpha… ROAAAR!" Cora took one of the werewolves by her shirt and then throw her against 2 other werewolves that were ready to attack, then she punches another one in the throat and slashes his chest, before kicking repeatedly the head of another werewolf, all that in just a few seconds before lunging against the Alpha.
"Cora, NO!" screamed Derek before throwing two werewolves in the direction Cora moved to block her path, Cora stopped for a second to see her brother that now give a backflip and kick the head of another enemy knocking it down against the ground.
"GRRR! ROAAAAAR!" the Alpha decided to attack the group, he moved against Cora who's eyes were glowing and her claws ready to attack the Alpha.
Cora barely left a little scratch in the arm of the Alpha, the alpha on its side was able to throw Cora far away and make her hit a tree with just one move of its arm.
At the sight of that Derek got angry and he quickly took the werewolves that were surrounding him and throw them to the Alpha. Scott took that chance to lunge himself against the Alpha full shifted. Stiles and Emily join to fight the few werewolves that still were trying to attack them.
Thanks to Derek, Scott saw an opening and he attacked the alpha, Scott claws penetrate deep in the sides of the Alpha and with all his might he was able to lift the body of the Alpha and then slam it against the ground. Without missing a beat, Derek quickly joins him and both started to slash the body of the Alpha although they weren't dealing much damage to the monster.
"what the…? What is happening?" Stiles was more than surprised at the sight in front of him, the moment that Derek and Scott started to attack the Alpha, the rest of the werewolves, especially the older ones, in an instant move to attack both Scott and Derek knocking them down.
"the older ones are smart, they must be omegas that the Alpha somehow put to work for it. Their instinct is to protect their Alpha" said Emily while clenching her teeth.
"we need to help them!" Cora was running at the direction of her pack, at the sound of her voice, Emily and Stiles snap out of their thoughts and also run to help Scott and Derek.
"GRRR!" the Alpha recover itself rather quickly and soon join its betas to attack Scott… he was the main objective of the Alpha for this ambush.
Scott was able to fight his way out of the group of enemies, and soon he was face to face with the Alpha, both roar to each other before starting their fight. The Alpha had a huge body but Scott had already fight monsters like that, and even so, with the Alpha being stronger thanks to the power he took from its own betas, he was gaining the upper hand in the fight. Derek couldn't handle by himself the 13 werewolves attacking him with wild fury, luckily Cora, Emily, and even Stiles throw themselves against the werewolves easing the fight for Derek.
"We need reinforcements… Stiles, can you call someone with your phone!?" Derek finally was able to knock out 3 werewolves, but he still was having problems to deal with the rest… everyone was having problems, especially Stiles who was the one who was in danger the most since he couldn't heal like the others. At the sight of their situation, Derek only could ask with a little hope if they might be able to get help.
"I can't… shit! Ugh… there are too many..." Stiles was hurt but he still was kind of able to keep dodging and using Scott knife to hurt some werewolves. Truth is that he wasn't sure if in that part of the forest he would have signaled to make a call, but trying was still difficult since they were being viciously attacked from all sides and the only reason he was still okay was because the Hales were protecting him and before that Scott was the one making sure he wasn't hurt.
The Hales only could curse their luck as they were getting exhausted and too hurt to continue, one of their enemies broke one of his legs and still didn't pay attention to it for the sake of killing his prey, them, these youngsters were so lost and completely controlled by their Alpha that nothing mattered more than follow the order, to kill them.
Scott was fighting against the Alpha in a one on one the best he could, without being an Alpha he still had problems to face other Alphas, the day he became a werewolf for the second time he was able to fight against Peter because Peter was not only a new Alpha but also because Scott had experience fighting against Peter from his previous timeline, but it was different with this Alpha, it was not only an Alpha that he has never faced before, but also it was an Alpha stronger than usual due to the power it took from its betas, Peter might be an Alpha and a Hale, but even he would have a really hard time dealing with this one in a one on one, Talia, on the other hand, might be way better than him at handling this monster. The alpha tried to slash Scott's chest but the young wolf was able to evade and then he slashes the alpha in its chest, the Alpha flinched a little before trying again to slash Scott, Scott tried to evade again only that this time the alpha use its other hand to block Scott movement and then it bites Scott's leg, it started to shake and slam Scott violently against the ground before sending him flying, and then, with Scott in the ground, the Alpha lunge against Scott one more time.
"ROAAAAAR!" the roar of another Alpha interrupted the fight. At that moment a big black wolf with red eyes appeared being closely followed by Peter Hale, both were following a group of young werewolves who looked like rabid animals and were heading directly to Scott.
"Mom! Uncle Peter!" Cora was more than relieved to see some reinforcement to help them deal with this situation.
"am I the only one noticing that the Alpha also got reinforcements?" asked Stiles with a worried tone while looking at his companions, the girls on their side only rolled their eyes and keep fighting the "waves" of enemies.
The moment the Alpha saw Talia and Peter following some of his new betas, it roared to both Hale alphas and went straight to fight them. At the call of their Alpha, the betas and omegas change their direction and started to follow the Alpha to charge against the Alpha Hales. Derek immediately went to help his mom and uncle while the girls and Stiles went to see if Scott was okay.
"Scott! Hey Scott, answer us… are you okay?" asked Emily with a worried tone.
"yeah..." Scott slowly started to stand up, wincing in pain at the movement and with a tired and raspy voice.
"Oh, thank god! What the hell were you thinking? Going against the Alpha alone" Cora hit lightly Scott body making him smile and relax a little.
"I had to take my shot… it's stronger than I thought" explain the boy with a serious expression, preparing himself to fight again.
"after seeing you take down Peter I thought you might have a chance against that thing, I guess I was wrong" Stiles tried to tease Scott but the worry in his expression and tone was too noticeable. Scott pat Stiles shoulder to reassure him that he was okay.
"Scott is strong, but he still is a beta... or an omega? Anyway, fighting an Alpha is not easy and even him would have problems with an Alpha that got stronger by killing its Betas… right?" Emily said at the beginning with a serious expression that quickly changes to one of uncertainty, she finally looks at Scott for confirmation and he smiles at her giving her a nod.
"we don't have more time for chatting, we need to help mom and the rest" Cora indicated with a serious expression before running to fight, the rest followed closely.
Talia was fighting in her wolf form against the Alpha, the battle was in similar ground with Talia having a slight advantage against the Alpha, the only problem was that the Alpha was not alone, its betas and the omegas were constantly attacking Talia every time she collided with the Alpha, she was doing the best to get rid of them without killing them. Derek and Peter only could try to keep the other werewolves as far away from Talia as they could, the now more than 20 Betas and omegas under the Alpha's control. for Peter was easy to knock them down, the only problem was that he had to hold back so he wouldn't kill the younger ones, the omegas on the other hand.
"how the hell there are so many of them!?" yelled Peter with an angry scowl while throwing away with ease another young werewolf that was aiming at his neck.
"ugh… it must have turned at least half of them in just a few days since it killed its old pack" said Derek knocking out another omega. One moved to Derek's back and started to slash him.
"the Bastard sure is fast! There are also a lot of old omegas in here" Peter took the werewolf that was attacking the back of his nephew, and without hesitation, he killed it by piercing its ribs.
"you shouldn't have killed him, it was a kid" Derek look at Peter with a scowl, Peter rolled his eyes to the young wolf.
"he was about to kill you, I'm sorry if I prioritize my family safety before a furious and rabid new bitten werewolf" Peter said to Derek with a smirk on his face, he then grabbed another wolf by the throat and then slam it to the ground knocking it out.
Peter caught one of the omegas in the air, he grabs him by his throat and with a fast move of his wrist, he broke his neck, then he slashed several other werewolves that were going after him, trying to hurt the young ones only enough for them not to move. Derek was throwing punches to any enemy that would get on his range of attack. Cora and Emily join them as soon as possible trying to suppress the violent attacks of the werewolves. Scott on his side once again went against the Alpha.
"Talia! Are you okay?" Asked the young wolf after attacking the Alpha by its back and then jumping beside Talia. Talia only nods since she couldn't talk in her wolf form. Then a bunch of werewolves directed their attack against Scott, he started to dodge an attack with kicks and punches the best he could, giving Talia a moment to breathe and fight with the Alpha in a one on one.
Talia lunge against the Alpha, both started to roll in the ground, slashing and biting with all their might with the objective of killing the other. Everything was chaos at that moment and the fight stayed like that for a few more minutes.
"how many are still up to fight?" asked Scott after throwing a beta away from him.
"Peter has already killed like 5 or 6 of them, and at least another 7 to 8 are knocked down" the one who answered was Stiles who was hidden behind a tree. Apparently, since the arrive of Talia and Peter, the Alpha ordered its pack to attack the Alphas to weaken them, so there was no werewolf trying to kill Stiles at the moment. Scott smiled at his friend before he heard a sound from behind him.
"Scott! Look behind!" the voiced belonged to Laura who apparently just arrived. Scott turned around as fast as he could but it was already late. Scott was knocked down and started to receive a fierce and furious attack from none other than Jordan, who right now was in werewolf form completely crazy.
Things didn't seem fine for the Hales and Scott, the Alpha somehow still was able to withstand the power of Talia, especially after all the injuries and wounds that she received from the betas and omegas. Peter killed several omegas and only one crazy beta, but he still was trying not to kill the "innocents" following Talia's wishes. Derek, Cora, and Emily were reaching their limit, the enemies were really vicious and would attack in groups, and just to get things worst, Jordan somehow was able to get to the fight, being followed by Laura, and he started to attack Scott with all his might, while there were still at least 8 more enemy werewolves.
"Laura? What in the hell happened? how did Jordan escape from you?" Cora was holding down a beta on the ground and talking to her sister with an irritated tone. In the blink of an eye, another werewolf tackle Cora to the ground and Laura rushed to help her.
"I was watching him when we heard the call of the Alpha, Jordan lost control after a few seconds and although I stopped him at the beginning then I thought that it could be a good way to get closer to the Alpha" Laura quickly knocked out 2 werewolves and help her sister to get up with a scowl on her face and a dangerous growl coming from her throat directed to their enemies.
"are you crazy? You could..." Cora was about to scold her older sister but she was interrupted.
"that's not important now, in the way here I saw several vans coming to this direction, I also heard a conversation, apparently some hunter was close enough to hear the Alpha howl and he called for reinforcement, the hunters are coming…" said Laura before going to fight the few werewolves that were still standing.
"ROAAAAAR!" Talia and the Alpha got some distance from each other before the Alpha roared again. This time the few werewolves that were standing started to grab their unconscious companions and throwing them close to their Alpha. Jordan ran closer to the Alpha giving Scott the chance to stand up and look at the weird sight.
The Hales, Scott, and Stiles looked how the werewolves throw several of his companions closer to the Alpha and then they also move to be beside their Alpha.
"What are they doing?" asked Stiles in confusion from the distance. The pack looks at each other not knowing what to think. Something was off, Talia and Scott were the first to notice it.
The Alpha stood up in two feet and just after Scott and Talia realize what was happening, the Alpha started to kill one by one, every beta that was at his feet, so he could steal their power and get stronger. Jordan instantly reacted and attacked Scott while Talia was able to move past the few enemies standing and push back the Alpha before he could kill more kids, 4 innocent teenagers were killed before Talia was able to stop it.
The rest of the Hales ran towards the rest of the bodies on the ground, the ones of the teens that still were alive, to protect them from the Alpha. Scott meanwhile was receiving all the attacks from Jordan and trying to wake him up.
"Jordan! Fight it!… don't let it take control of you, don't late it take your humanity… fight it, Jordan… FIGHT IT!" Scott's eyes turned yellow once again, and he roared with power. Following Scott roar, Jordan steps back afraid of Scott but at the same time shaking his head violently and started to breath faster and erratically.
"UGH!..." Talia fell to the ground and quickly got up, but it was too late, the Alpha and the rest of its pack were running at full speed. Talia tried to follow them but was stopped by Peter and Laura.
"you can't… you are too injured to follow it, and we all are too tired" said Peter with a serious expression but in his eyes worried for his sister could be seen.
"Mom! We have to go! The hunters are coming!" said Laura in a hurry. The rest was checking on the fallen ones and Scott was getting closer to Jordan who was now on the floor with his hand in his head.
"… Scott?… is it you?… what…?" Jordan slowly started to regain control, by the time he lifts his head all he could see was death, several dead bodies close to him.
