Derek Hale was chained to an electrified fence on the wall of the Hale family cellar because Kate Argent was a special kind of sick, he was shirt less and his body was worn out, he was hurt and there was a permanent tremor in his muscles from the electric shock's he was receiving to keep his wolf under control.

But regardless of all of that, none of it was the reason for the fire running through his veins, the sheer compulsion he felt to kill Kate, because in that moment his baby sister was strapped to a metal table, that looked like something out of slasher flick.

She had been stripped down to her bra and underwear and he was pretty sure there was more blood on her skin than there was actual skin she was delirious at this point hardly even conscious but she hadn't broken yet, and Derek knew there was no way that she would, she was a delta and Peter had forced her into his pack she was physically unable to betray her alpha.

Derek was just praying now, that Kate wouldn't get bored of her and kill her. That she wouldn't get bored and kill him and Accalia would once again have to watch her family die, he didn't think that she would make it.

And on top of that, Allison Argent had just become aware of that her family really did. Kate had displayed him and Accalia like they were show dogs instead of deadly werewolves, or you know one of her classmates.


"Scott would you please stop throwing things at me?" Stiles asked dodging a flying baseball from under Scott's bed.

"Stiles I have to find my phone! I have to find Derek!" Scott shouted from his place under his bed.

"Didn't you say he walked into gun fire? He sounds pretty dead to me." Stiles said with an annoyed sigh.

"Yeah. He did. You know who else did? Accalia." Scott jabbed.

Stiles heart unwillingly thudded painfully hard in his chest at the information and Scott having heard it sighed in guilt.

"Look their not dead alright? But Peters going after Allison and her family I need help."

"You probably lost it, when you were fighting. You know when he tried to kill you after you interrupted him trying to kill Jackson are you seeing a pattern of violent behavior here?" Stiles said choosing to ignore the fact that yes Accalia was in fact there also.

"He wasn't going to kill anyone Stiles and I'm not letting him die" Scott argued firmly.

"Could you just think about letting him die? For me?" Stiles whined. He knew he didn't actually mean it mostly because he was the only person Accalia had left but he was just annoyed at the whole situation.

"We need him to stop Peter."


"so are you really not going to tell who the Alpha is?" Kate asked Derek after she sent another shot of electricity though Derek's body. She had been at this for hours and Accalia had officially passed out which was no fun for her, so she moved on to Derek and still got nothing.

Derek groaned in pain but still remained silent.

"Well, knowing you it's either because you want to kill him yourself or you're protecting him. Now why would you do that? I mean after all he didn't kill your sister." Kate questioned him before laughed and nodding toward Accalia, "well one of them."

Derek glared at her trying to communicate the hatred he had for her through his eyes and she chuckled at him, "Look at that sour face. People probably tell you all the time 'Smile Derek, you should smile more' Don't you just want to kick those people in the face."

"I can think of one." He told her.

"Promise?" Kate asked as she stepped closer to him, "Because if I thought you would be that much fun I'd let you go. Remember all the fun we had together?"

"Like that time you burned my family alive?" He spat at her.

She laughed, "I was think more about the hot crazy sex we had, but the fire that was fun too! And I didn't burn them all alive just..most of them." She glared at Accalia and Derek jerked towards her trying to sink his teeth in even though he knew it was useless.

"Hit a nerve there didn't I?"

"Are you going to torture me or are you just gonna talk me to death?" Derek snarked rolling his eyes.

"Oh sweetheart, I don't want to torture you." Just then a large hunter with tattoo's on his knuckles came into the room and Kate stepped out of the way to let him through.

"But he does."


Accalia was awake now. Kate had gotten tired or her miss all the fun and shot her up with adrenaline which still wasn't enough for her to wolf out just enough to keep her up and aware of what was happening.

Kate had finally figured out that Scott was the second beta and left to no doubt do what she does best and Accalia had cried. She was still crying now.

"Lia," Derek called trying to get her to calm down, she had a large knife stuck in her left thigh and Derek knew by how much blood she had lost it was stuck in her artery and while he wasn't sure it would kill her he also wasn't sure she could heal enough around the knife to not bleed out, and with her being so upset her heart rate was way up which in turn case her blood to flow faster and it definitely wasn't helping her situation.

"Lia, listen to me. It's going to be okay, alright? Did you hear that? That was Scott I'm gonna get us out of this. I won't let you down this time."

Accalia was barely paying attention, she was in unbearable pain which was keeping her too human to shift, and she knew she was dying. She could physically feel the blood leaving her body, she was cold and pale and light headed. And wanted someone to save her, she didn't want to die, didn't want to leave Derek all alone, she didn't want to never get to see Scott again, or be able to kiss Stiles.

She started laughing through her hysterical crying when she realized she wanted her uncle Peter.


Scott eventually found them and after some negotiating he let Derek down and he rushed as fast as he could in his own start of wounded to his baby sister and untied her from her restraints but when he went to take the knife out she stop him.

"Derek don't." She mutter weakly.

"What do you mean? Accalia I have to take it out otherwise I can't move you." Derek argued but she shook her head at him.

"There's no way I'll heal fast enough to stop the bleeding, if you pull it out I'll bleed to death leave me here, you go."

"Accalia-"

He was cut off by her throwing her head back with her slowly fading strength and howling, the same howl she's always had when she was six and followed Laura into the preserve and got lost, when her and Cora climbed a tree and she fell out and broke her arm, when Derek accidently shifted in the middle of a sibling wrestling match and couldn't shift back. And every single time one person was always the first one there coming to her rescue.

Peter.

Derek realized when he heard the primal howl that answered hers. Her pale eyes locked with his, and when she spoke this time it was clear. "Go. I'll be fine." This time she was ready to fight and Derek didn't hesitate to listen, he nodded to Scott and the bitten wolf helped him out of the cellar.


When Peter finally came Accalia was itching to get off the table, she had heard what was going on above them and trying to pull herself into a seated position.

Peter placed a hand on her shoulder, "Woah now, wait a minute, I've got you Lele." Peter mutter almost absentmindedly and Accalia fought away tears because she knew that Peter had to be stopped, she knew that he had killed Laura, but she also knew that Peter would stop at nothing to save her life. He always had, he was very protective of her and although he had a shitty way of showing it, he loved his family.

"You know what I have to do don't you?" Peter asked giving her a hard look.

She swallowed hard and nodded her head. She knew.

Peter was going to force her to shift, fully something that she hadn't done since the fire but it was the only way she would heal fast enough the only way that she would have enough power to fight, it was her most primal form and she could barely control it she knew she would primary be under her alpha's command at that point.

She took a deep breath.

"Do it."


When the five people currently having a stand-off in front of the Hale house heard Peter's roar, they froze feeling ice form in their vines when they heard the growl that followed it.

"What was that?" Allison whispered her voice trembling in fear.

"The alpha." Scott said staring at the door of the Hale house he knew that was where they would come from.

"And the delta " Derek said smirking at the Argents.

Peter came out first, he was a blur around the clearing knocking them off of their feet one by one, until he had a clawed hand on Kate dragging her back into the house by her neck. That was when the Delta showed up, the wolf was larger then that of a normal wolf, She had sinister silver eyes and her once beautiful pure white coat was dripping in her own blood. She hunkered down low and growled deep in her throat stopping Allison from running in after them.

Scott stood up to try and stop her when he realized that Accalia was trying to protect her even though she hated the Argent girl, she wasn't moving to attack her at all and though she was more wolf than human right now her eyes held an air of intelligence to them that told him she was still in control.

She locked eyes with her brother and he beamed at her in pride, it had been years since he had saw a Hale fully shifted, he had forgotten how powerful his family really was. She jerked her head at him and he got the message, he took off into the house after Peter with Scott close behind.

Outside the house Chris had woken up and had his gun trained on Accalia who was still keeping them out of the house, but he hadn't pulled the trigger and Accalia figured it had more to do with the fact that the bullets wouldn't do much more than make her angry, than actually hurt her that caused him to refrain from firing.

The sounds of fighting stopped for a second and there was silence until Derek and Scott were thrown through the window, Peter followed fully wolfed out he looked more like a monster than a wolf but he was obviously powerful.

That was the point that Stiles and Jackson showed up, they stumbled out of Jackson car with Molotov cocktails in their hands and there faces completely in awe of what was happening.

Accalia noticed Peter go for Allison and against her better judgment she pounced at him, getting in a hell of a fight before he got his teeth deep in the junction between her shoulder and neck and tossed her away from him.

She hit the ground with a harsh thud and the pain filled howl turned into a scream when the wolf on the ground shifting back into a very naked blood covered and wounded girl.

Jackson threw his flask at Peter but he caught it, thinking on his feet Scott tossed Allison her bow and she shot it igniting the liquid and in turn Peter, Stiles threw his and Peter finally fell down.

Derek stood over the burned body of his uncle and listened to his sister cry out, and there wasn't any other decision, he pulled his claws back and brought them down across his neck. He sigh when felt the rush of power knowing it was over now.

He turned around with his eyes glowing red and grinned, "I'm the Alpha now."

Stiles ignored the display over power coming from Derek and rushed to Accalia's side, the bite wound on her neck had healed quickly after Peter died and her leg had feeling after she shifted so she didn't have any visible wounds but was still covered in blood and she was crying.

Stiles took off his suit jacket and covered her exposed body in it, he gently pulled her into his lap and brushed her bloody hair out of her face, he rocked her back and forth in his lap and tried to calm her down but it wasn't working, if anything she became more hysterical.

At this point Chris had taken Allison home, Derek had dragged Peters body off somewhere and Scott was watching him from where he was waiting next to Jackson by his car. He ignored their eyes on them as he continued to shush her and press kissed to her bloodied forehead, just thankful that she was alive.

He could faintly hear sirens when Derek returned, "Give her to me." He demanded gruffly.

Stiles shook his head at him and Derek sighed trying again, but just slightly more gently this time, "Stiles, she just shifted for the first time since the fire and felt the weight of eleven missing pack bonds not to mention another one being added on to that tonight. She's a werewolf you can't help her with that. The police are coming and we all need to leave give her to me."

Stiles still hesitated but he realized that right now he didn't know how to help her so he reluctantly stood up and handed the crying girl to her big brother, who took her and cradled her in his arms more gently than Stiles had ever seen him do anything.

Derek was halfway to his car, and Stiles was still watching them intently when the werewolf sighed and turned around.

"Don't worry. I've got her."
