Derek decided it was time to train Scott, so of course he invited me, which I said lets go.

"Damn it." I heard Scott's voice panic a bit, I was crouched behind a car when I saw a milk bottle roll my way, I bit into it and rolled it back, I let out a terrifying

growl, and Scott takes off running. Derek follows him one way and I follow him another. Soon car alarms fill the lot along with my ears, but I can't pinpoint Scott's

location. I saw Derek staring at me. I heard his phone go off, I pinpointed the tone and found him. I watched Derek pull Scott up and slammed him on the hood of a

car.

"You're dead." He said glaring at him. Both wolves got off the hood, Derek stride to me, we began walking.

"What - what the hell was that?" Scott said as he got between us.

"Said I was gonna teach you. I didn't say when." Derek said as we continued walking.

"You two scared the crap out of me." Scott said annoyed.

"Not yet." I replied.

"Okay, but I was fast, right?" Scott said a bit proud.

"Not fast enough." Derek said annoyed.

"But - but the car alarm thing, that was smart, right?" He said more irritated,

"Till your phone rang." I said pointing out his mistake.

"Yeah, but that was - I mean -Would you just stop?" Scott barked at us, Derek and I turned around to look at him.

"Please? What happened the other night, Stiles' dad getting hurt that was my fault, I should have been there to do something. I need you to teach me how to control

this." Scott complained to us.

"Look, I am what I am because of birth. Lexi is what she is because of birth. You were bitten. Teaching someone who was bitten takes time. I don't even know if I can

teach you." Derek said even more annoyed.

"What do I have to do?" He said more worried.

"You have to get rid of distractions. You see this? This is why I caught you. You want me to teach you? Get rid of her." Derek said getting his phone.

"What, just because of her family?" He said with a frown. Derek shook his phone then proceeded to throw it at a wall.

"Wait - wait - whoa - whoa!" Scott said shocked.

"You getting angry? That's your first lesson. You want to learn how to control this, how to shift, you do it through anger, by tapping into a primal animal rage, and you

can't do that with her around." I pointed it out to him.

"I can get angry." Scott said a bit angrier than before.

"Not angry enough. This is the only way that I can teach you. Now, can you stay away from her? At least until after the full moon?" I yelled at him.

"If that's what it takes." He said convinced.

"Do you want to live? Do you want to protect your friends? Yes or no?" I said even more irritated than him.

"Yes. If you can teach me, I can stay away from her." He said. Derek and I left, but we went into town, we stood in front of a shop, a tattoo shop,

"What are we doing here" Derek asked me, I smiled at him,

"Dad said I can get a tattoo" I said leading him inside, in my bag was the two pictures I wanted on my body.

"Can I help you" I look to see a male late twenties prepping the machine.

"Yes I want to get inked" I said smirking.

"Id" He asked I showed my driver's license.

"Ok what do you want" He asked as I looked at him. I pulled out my pictures,

"I want the triskele between my shoulder blades and the paw prints one on each shoulder" I said smiling. He lead Derek and I to the back, I took my shirt off, Derek

got a chair to be next to me, He started, I felt my skin numbing where the needles went, about three hours later, they were done, I paid for them, as Derek and I got

outside my back began to hurt,

"They healed over" Derek said as he got me to his car, he drove us to his house, told me to sit down, which I did, I saw the blow torch,

"Do it I won't struggle" I said gripping the chair, as soon as the flames touched my skin, I groaned through the entire process. Soon the tattoos showed, Derek took

me home, I fell asleep, woke up the next morning and got to school, I was in English, I was sitting next to Stiles.

"Still not talking to me? Okay, can you at least tell me if your dad's okay? It's just a bruise, right? Some soft tissue damage? Nothing' that big - You know I feel really

bad about it, right? Okay. What if I told you that I'm trying to figure this whole thing out, and - That I went to Derek for help?" Scott said as I just kept listening to

them.

"If I was talking to you, I'd say that you're an idiot for trusting him. But obviously I'm not talking to you. What did he say?" Stiles asked him, I followed them,

listening to their conversation,

"Wh - he wants you to tap into your animal side and get angry?" Stiles asked him, Scott nodded,

"All right, well, correct me if I'm wrong, but every time you do that, you try to kill someone, and that someone's usually me." Stiles told him which made me laugh a

little.

"I know. That's what he means when he says hedoesn't know if he can teach me. I have to be able to control it. "Scott told him, I just walked away but still trailing them.

"Well, how's he gonna teach you to do that?" Stiles asked him.

"I don't know. I don't think he does either." Scott replied to him,

"Okay. When are you seeing him again?" Stiles asked him,

"He told me not to talk about it. Just act normal and get through the day. He's picking me up at the animal clinic after work." Scott replied to him,

"After work. All right, well, that gives me to the end of the school day then." Stiles said making me confused.

"To do what?" Scott asked him.

"To teach you myself." stiles replied, I had to go to my other classes but then I got to Econ, sitting down beside an empty seat.

"Let's go. Sit, sit, sit, sit. We got a lot to cover today. Let's go. Quicker." Coach yelled at the class.

"Hey, Stiles, sit behind me, dude." Scott looked at his best friend, but Allison got there first. Stiles ended up sitting next to me.

"Let's settle down. Let's start with a quick summary of last night's reading. Greenberg, put your hand down. Everybody knows you did the reading. How about, uh -

McCall." Coach asked him,

"What?" Scott asked a bit dazed,

"The reading." I told him,

"Last night's reading?" Scott asked himself,

"How about, uh, the reading of the Gettysburg Address?" coach asked sarcastically,

"What?" Scott asked confused.

"That's sarcasm. You familiar with the term "sarcasm," McCall?" coach asked him, which he replied yes by looking at Stiles.

"Did you do the reading or not?" Coach asked him,

"Uh - I think I forgot." Scott said as I heard his heart rate going up a bit.

"Nice work, McCall. It's not like you're not averaging a "D" in this class. Come on, buddy. You know I can't keep you on the team if you have a "D." How about you

summarize, uh, the previous night's reading? No? How about the, uh, the night before that? How about you summarize anything you've ever read - In your entire

life?" Coach asked him, Scott heart rate was going up higher by the second,

"I - I, uh -" Scott mumbled,

"No? A blog? How about, uh, how about, uh, the back of a cereal box? No? How about the adults only warning from your favorite website you visit every night?

Anything?" Coach asked him I quickly texted Allison, 'you might want to calm your boyfriend down, stress and all' I sent it, please get it god please.

"Thank you, McCall, thank you. Thank you, McCall! Thank you for extinguishing any last flicker of hope I have for your generation. You just blew it for everybody.

Thanks." Coach said Allison looked at me and nodded.

"Next practice you can start with suicide runs. Unless that's too much reading." Coach said and Allison took Scott's hand, his heart rate was going down quickly back

to normal, I looked at her.

'Thank you' I mouthed to her.

'Welcome' She mouthed back to me, class went back to normal. After class Scott was talking to Stiles, I listened in on the conversation then jumped in,

"I don't know. Yet." stiles replied by snapping his fingers.

"Oh, no. You're getting an idea, aren't you?" Scott asked him,

"Yeah." Stiles said smiling,

"Is this idea gonna get him in trouble? "Maybe." Stiles said answering my question,

"Is this idea gonna cause me physical pain?" Scott asked him,

"Yeah, definitely. Come on." Stiles said,

"Actually I am going home see you" I said smiling, about three hours at home till Derek got me from my place and drove us to the animal clinic,

"I think Scott's boss is the Alpha" Derek said as I nodded at him,

"Scott, you're late again. I hope this isn't getting to be a habit." I saw the vet standing there.

"Can I help you?" He asked us. "Hope so. Want to know about the

animal you found with the spiral on its side?" Derek said as he got a paper out of his jacket.

"Excuse me? What animal?" The vet asked us.

"Three months ago. The deer. You remember this?" Derek asked holding it up.

"Oh, yes. It's just a deer. And I didn't find it. They called me because they wanted to know if I'd ever seen anything like it." The vet replied.

"What'd you tell 'em?" Derek said with a glare.

"I told them no." He replied and I listened to his heart, it was fast.

"Did you hear that?" Derek said walking up to him.

"Hear what?" The vet questioned me.

"The sound of your heartbeat rising." Derek said with a growl.

"Excuse me?" The vet said scared.

"It's the sound of you lying." I growled as I punched him. After he was out Derek taped him to the chair.

"Oh, God." The vet said terrified.

"Are you protecting someone?" Derek asked leaning on his shoulder.

"All right. The key to the drug locker is in my pocket." He said scared.

"We don't want drugs. We want to know why you're lying." I said leering at him, so Derek picked him up.

"I don't know what you're talking about. What are you doing to me? What do you want?" The vet said scared.

"We want to know who you are or who you're protecting." I growled baring my teeth.

"What are you doing?" I saw Scott, so I backed away a little.

"Scott, get out of here!" The vet said as Derek dropped him and punched him unconscious.

"Stop! Stop!" Scott begged my imprint.

"Look, when he's conscious, he can keep himself from healing, but unconscious, he can't." Derek growled at the young beta.

"Are you out of your mind? What are you talking about?" Scott yelled at me.

"You want to know what the spiral means, Scott? It's our sign for a vendetta, for revenge. It means he won't stop killing until he's satisfied." I yelled at him and went

to his face, my eyes glowing.

"You both think he's the Alpha?" Scott questioned us.

"We're about to find out." Derek said as he grew out his claws. But as soon as he was about to slash him, Scott, full shifted caught Derek's arm, and roared at him, I

grabbed Derek and put him behind me. Scott shifted back

"Hit him again, and then you'll see me get angry. "Scott said as he flashed his eyes at us. Scott cleaned his boss' wound on his cheek.

"Do you have a plan?" I sneered at him.

"Just give me an hour." Scott asked us.

"Then what?" I replied.

"Meet me at the school. In the parking lot." He responded to my question. We taped up the vet and placed him in the back, we got to the school, and got out of the

car.

"Where's my boss?" Scott asked us.

"He's in the back." I responded as I leaned on the car.

"Oh, well, he looks comfortable." Stiles said sarcastically. I saw them walking towards the school.

"Wait. Hey. What are you doing?" Derek asked the two.

"You said I was linked with the Alpha. I'm gonna see if you're right. "Scott replied. They went into the school, and that left Derek and I alone. He just wrapped his

arms around me and I turned around to see his eyes flitting from my eyes to my lips, his hand stroked my chin lightly, I looked at him, he began to lean in and I did

the same. Soon an I don't know what to call it but it caused Derek and I to part.

"You've got to be kidding me." He said as I laid my head on his chest. Soon a loud howl filled the air. Derek and I just stared at each other.

"I'm gonna kill both of you. What the hell was that? What are you trying to do, attract the entire state to the school?" Derek growled at them.

"Sorry. I didn't know it would be that loud." Scott said as he apologized.

"Yeah, it was loud. And it was AWESOME." Stiles said happy.

"Shut up." Derek said as I just rolled my eyes.

"Don't be such a sourwolf." Stiles said as I rolled my eyes again.

"What'd you do with him?" Scott asked us. I turned around and the vet was gone

"What? We didn't do anything." I said but soon felt an horrible pain in my back, I looked up to see Derek in the air, the alpha roared at us, I screamed as Scott and

Stiles dragged me inside the school, I watched as the Alpha then threw Derek to the wall. Scott, Stiles and I officially got inside.
