Hey guys, I'm actually kind of surprised that I managed to get this out as quickly as I did, since when I got the last chapter out, I had no idea what I was going to do for this one, but, alas, here it is, and I hope you guys enjoy it. This feels to me to be the culmination of various things from the last couple chapters. And A major note, until further notice, I can't got back and watch over the episodes for reference as my Amazon Prime Plus free trial ended. I'm using the wiki as much as I can, but if I get something blatantly wrong in a non-intentional way (there will be some things I mess up since I'm doing some combining of 2 and 3b), just roll with it and I am very sorry.
The next day came too soon for the McCall pack, as most of them stayed up until late in the night, though the activities that kept each member varied. Stiles and Lydia had both been up going through the books that Alison managed to bring with her, though they both did it in the confines of their own room. Alison and Scott on the other hand, they were more interest in each other.
The pack entered the school as a group, radiating a social power that dominated the show they had made yesterday. Everyone noticed them instantly, and soon enough, everyone was talking about how something big had happened with them, something had changed. Even if Lydia wouldn't have guessed it a year ago, the pack was instantly top dog of the school, and they had to do nothing.
Inside the crowd who were focused on the McCall pack were Isaac and Erica. Being werewolves, instead of just drawing their attention, it demanded it in a way that was unsettling. "Something happened with them, something big. We need to talk to Derek now," Isaac told his fellow werewolf as he got ready to leave school before it even began.
"I agree we need to talk to Derek, but I don't feel it's that necessary to just rush off. Shouldn't we observe them, figure out how exactly things have changed," Erica countered.
"I definitely think this is big enough that Derek needs to know now. You stay and watch, report after school," Isaac offered.
Erica just nodded before she headed off to her first class. Isaac quickly snuck off campus and made his way to the Hale house.

Alison took a deep breath as she got out of her seat in science. In her hand was a summon from her grandfather, who also happened to be the principle of the school. Soon enough, she was outside the door leading to his office. With another deep breath, she went in.
"It's nice to see you again Alison," Gerard said as she entered.
"I was quite enjoying my absence," Alison commented back.
"Well, it's time for you to end this foolishness, or I might have to do something drastic," Gerard threatened.
"I would like to see you do something drastic against an alpha," Alison countered.
"Derek is your competition from what I understand. He won't save you, or McCall," Gerald returned.
"Oh trust me, Scott is an alpha," Alison clarified.
"How can you be so sure about that?" Gerald asked.
"Do you know of an Alpha female in a pack?" Alison questioned back. She only got a nod in reply, but that was enough for her to continue, "and you need to be an Alpha to get an Alpha female." Alison waited a second for the implication to start to sink in before she slowly pulled off her long gloves that she had on, first her clean arm, followed by the slow reveal of her newly tattooed arm. "I guess that for all intents and purposes, at least on the supernatural side of things, I am Alison McCall, the Alpha female of the McCall pack." Alison just sat back and watched as her grandfather's face cycled through a multitude of emotions, shock, disgust, confusion, disappointment and finally fear. "I guess you realize that I have all of the power in this conversation now, don't you," Alison commented.
"You seemed to have earned the upper hand for now," Gerard concedes.
"Yes, and if you push the pack, or try and get me back in any sneaky way, I will contact the Vastils," Alison laid her next card out on the table, invoking a sense of dread in her opposition. "If you every do an action that could be considered an act of war against the pack, which I will remind you is better at following the hunter's code than the Argent family of hunters is, I will go to the Calaveras, and I know you fear them."
"It seems you have us at a loss for now, do you have any requests?" Gerard asked, accepting this defeat.
"Leave the pack alone, and do your best to follow the code from now on," Alison stated before getting up and leaving, her head held high and a small, smug smile.
Gerard sat there for a couple minutes before stepping out of his office just enough to talk to Victoria at her desk. "I'm guessing it didn't go as you expected," Victoria commented.
"The situation is very different from what I expected, we will need to being all the heads together to talk about it," Gerard replied.

Isaac arrived at the burnt corpse of the Hale house. Isaac could sense Derek inside the house. "Derek, something happened, we need to talk," Isaac yelled.
A couple minutes later, Derek Hale arrived outside, "What is it?"
"Something happened with McCall and his friend. Actually, by the vibes they were giving off, pack seems a more accurate term for what they are. Their very presence demanded our attention, it was strange," Isaac explained.
"Start from the beginning, what happened?" Derek commanded.
"I was talking with Erica before school and then they just came in, and drew everyone's attention. Scott was leading them, though Alison was right by his side. A step behind Alison was Lydia, and Stiles was just a step behind Scott. It may seem strange to say, knowing them as people, but Stiles felt the most out of place in the group, or at least that was what the wolf was telling me. Erica stayed to observe them during the school day," Isaac explained.
Derek took a couple of deep breaths, wracking his brain for what this could be. He couldn't come up with something off the top of his head. "Thanks for informing me, you did good. It seems like we'll have to pay McCall a visit tonight.

The McCall pack entered the lunchroom as a group. While looking around for a spot, Lydia noticed Kira sitting alone. "Would you mind if I invited Kira over to sit with us?" Lydia asked.
"Yeah, though it means we'll have to keep the supernatural talk to a minimum," Scott said.
"I figure it's best to keep that talk low whenever we are in public, I think," Lydia commented.
The group nodded in agreement, the majority heading for the open table as Lydia headed towards Kira. "Hey, I noticed you were sitting alone. If you want to, you can join me and my friends," Lydia said.
"Really, that's very nice of you, but I wouldn't want to mess up your group dynamic. I saw you guys this morning, you guys are close," Kira replied.
"Trust me, you won't be messing anything up, we would be glad to have you," Lydia replied.
Kira relented and joined the pack for lunch, and fell into step with the group quickly, though she did feel included, she knew there was something special between the other four that she couldn't compare to.
There you have it. I find I'm laying the seeds for Kira really joining the group, a confrontation between the Hale pack and the McCall pack as well as some interesting issue for the Argent family to go over. I don't know which of these threads I'll get to next chapter, though I think there's a good chance for at least the Hale Vs McCall pack showdown, but no promises.
