I felt a bit mad she had done that, but I guess the timing wasn't right for her. I sat on the Argent roof for a little bit thinking of how good it felt to be with someone again, yet at the same time it felt weird, as if I was betraying Laura. I mean I still cared for her, but she was dead. Shouldn't I move on? I pondered on that and looked up, seeing how the moon was almost full. By the look of it, we had about a week or so. I got up to go home, but I heard talking coming from inside the house about three windows down.

My curiosity got the best of me and I climbed to the window with light shining through the shades. "Allison, I know being grounded away from your boyfriend sucks, but it's only a few weeks." I heard Kate Argent say slyly. "What are you reading?"

"Oh, well for History we have to research family history and I found this. The Beast of Gévaudan," Allison said intrigued. For what I recall, that was some story of an alleged werewolf killing in southern France in the eighteen century. No one actually knows if it is real since it has been passed down as a legend.

"Oh yeah, I think I have something on that," Kate added. The room got silent and so I decided to leave, jumping from the roof and landing in a bush. I began walking to my car. I heard someone walking around the house as I made my way toward the street. I turned swiftly and looked around.

"Scott, if that's you stop trying to scare me," I called out, but got no response.

"Aideen? Derek?" I felt a little scared at the moment which I barely ever got. I saw two small red eyes looking at me as I felt the blood in my veins run cold. I ran to my car as fast as I could. Jumping in, I started it but turned the engine off as soon as I thought of Aideen. If the alpha dared to try and hurt her, I would kill him. I got out of my car and looked around; puffs of condensation flew from my mouth with every breath I took. I looked around and saw nothing. Maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me so, I slowly got back in my car and drove home. I noticed it was going on eleven thirty as I pulled into the driveway.

"Where in God's name have you been?" mom barked as I opened the door.

"Chill, I was just with Aideen," I said calmly walking into the kitchen.

"Oh that is supposed to make me feel better?" she snapped.

"Well, maybe you were right." She looked confused since I never told her she was right. "Maybe Aideen and I have…the same feelings for each other." I smiled to myself, grabbing the milk from the fridge. I popped the cap and started drinking directly from the gallon carton.

"JUSTIN!" I choked and spilt a little milk looking at my mom with a little fear. "I am glad for you and Aideen, but use a glass! I put that milk in my cakes," she demanded walking out of the kitchen. I looked to see if she was really gone and I took another sip from the carton before putting it back in the fridge. I looked at the clock, now reading eleven forty five. I kissed my mom's head and ran up stairs. I turned my bedroom light on and nearly jumped out of my skin in fear.

"Derek, what are you doing here?" I asked closing the door behind me.

"Just coming to have a talk," he smirked standing up from my chair. "You're little girlfriend, how did you know she was a werewolf hunter?"

"Really Derek, I don't have to tell you," I answered walking into my bathroom, I was tired and I wanted to go to bed. I didn't want to talk to Derek about this. It was none of his damn business. I changed and came back out hoping he was gone but to my luck he was still there.

"You better tell me or I swear, Justin…"

"What kind of threat are you going to come up with now, Derek? I am not a kid anymore, and you can't scare me into doing whatever you want," I barked as he looked a little surprised.

"Really Justin, I am just looking out for you," he said calmly. "I mean, when you're dad died who was there for you…" he paused, I didn't answer. "Me…who helped you train to become what you are today…" still I didn't answer. "Me…I am practically your brother, so answer my question, how did you find out about your girlfriend?"

"Fine, I was out in the woods about a week ago and she well... stabbed me," I said getting closer to the light to show him the scar.

"So let me get this straight. You are dating a girl who you just met, who happens to be a hunter…and who happens to have stabbed you?"

"No, I am dating a girl I knew since I was four, who happens to be a hunter…and who happens to have stabbed me," I laughed. I crossed over to my bed and climbed in.

"One more thing; what did she mean by her sister was murdered?"

"Well…" I took a deep breath. "A werewolf killed the child," I shivered.

"What do you mean 'child'? She told you how old she was?"

"No, I knew how old she was," I said in a 'duh' tone. "She doesn't know who, but that's why she became a hunter…I know who killed her though." Derek looked at me funny. "My cousin killed her, and now my girlfriend is looking for him, BUT that we have the whole alpha situation that has taken her mind off that, and she's basically joining us," I sighed in a bit of relief. "Now, can I go to sleep?"
"Whatever…" he paused and looked at me. "Never mind," he shook his head and walked away. He jumped out my window and I turned my light off quickly falling asleep.

"Justin," mom shook me as my alarm started to go off. "Get up," she snapped. I stayed in my comfy bed. I didn't want to move or anything. "Fine," she sighed. She pulled my blankets down and placed her freezing hand on my stomach.

"WHAT!" I barked looking at her.

"Get up," she demanded as I sat up. I looked up at her as she rolled her eyes and started for the door. "And Justin…don't even think of wearing the same underwear today," she reprimanded pointing to my boxers as I climbed out of bed. I walked over to my dresser grabbed my clothing and immediately changed. I walked into my bathroom and drenched my hair with running water and quickly shook it. I was so glad I kept it short since all I needed to do was shake my head and my hair would naturally stick in small spikes. I reached for my toothbrush, but immediately stopped when I felt a burning sensation in my shoulder. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and saw a spot of blood slowly forming on my shirt where my stab wound was.

My eyes changed to a forest green and a low growl came out. I looked down and everything was normal except the small burn that still rested. I took a few deep breaths before I walked out of my room and downstairs. "I'm heading over to the shop, so I'll be home after I get off work," I called as I got a faint response from my mom. I threw my backpack in my trunk and drove to my mom's little shop. "Morning Reg," I said throwing the door open. I nearly busted a gut seeing his frightened face as I walked in.

"Your shift doesn't start till after school," he smirked looking at me funny.

"Yeah, I know, but I need…"

"No, Justin, I can't keep doing your homework for you," he barked as I rolled my eyes.

"No, I need a cake," I said as he looked shocked. "Just take it out of my paycheck." I pulled one of my mom's most expensive cakes out.

"Dude, you got to pay for that here. Do you know what your mom will do if she found out about this?"

"Does it look like a care?" I replied as the door opened.

"Welcome, how may I help you?" Reg was talking to the person behind me. I placed the cake back and turned around to find Derek standing right behind me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as he looked at me even angrier than last night.

"Oh, just wondering…" he snapped shoving me into the backroom. "Scott's first full moon is coming up and you are chasing after a skirt," he snapped.

"What the hell is your problem?"

"My problem? My problem is I have to do all the work with Scott! Do you know how hard this is? He won't stay away from the Argent's he is going to get himself killed or all of us killed," he barked shoving me into a seat.

"So what, you want me to train him now?"

"No, just keep Allison away. She is making him weak."

"Are you fricking kidding me, Derek? How the hell am I supposed to do that?"

"I don't know, just do it." And with that said he walked out of the shop. I came back from the employee office and Reg was looking the same stoned self he always looked.

"I'll see you later," I sighed, walking out and into my car. I called Stiles and discussed with him what happened a few moments before and how he had a plan which gave me a worse feeling then how Derek made me feel. Great, I'm going to be dead before the full moon. I thought to myself as I pulled up to the school where I found Stiles waiting in the spot I usually parked in.

"So…what's this plan?" I asked as he threw duct tape at me.

"You'll see, just put this in your bag," he smiled as I shoved the tape in my bag. We walked up the steps and Allison was talking to Aideen by the lockers. Both girls saw us and we walked over. I hugged my girlfriend, it sounds so strange yet good at the same time, from behind.

"It's about time," Allison laughed as I could feel Aideen's heart pick up a little.

"So we are going to hang out during free period?" Aideen turned to me as Stiles started making the kill motion across his neck.

"I can't, I got a lot of…" I looked at Stiles who was pretending to read from a book, "Studying to do," I said as he touched his nose.

"Really, you never study," she laughed as I started scratching the back of my head.

"Well the truth is Stiles, Scott, and I are practicing for the game Friday and coach said he wants us on the field during free period," I answered as Stiles smacked his face.

"Justin if you don't want…"

"Aideen, I do want to be with you," I said lifting her by her hips as she started to smile.

"Then tell me the truth."

"Fine, Stiles and I need to train Scott today," I whispered in her ear.

"I thought that was Derek's job," She replied back in my ear.

"Long story?"

"What is?" Allison asked as Aideen turned around quickly her hair smacking me in the face.

"Oh what happened last night," she smiled.

"With the part of you two sneaking out?"

"You told her?"

"She knew," Aideen shrugged as I grabbed her hand. Our fingers had slowly intertwined and to me, this felt perfect like the missing piece to the puzzle was found. The bell had rung and she dragged me to first period which was my dreaded math class, which lucky for me, my mom had actually not pulled me off the lacrosse team for.

"Mr. Topain, I want you sitting in the front," my teacher demanded pointing to the front seat.

"But, then I…"

"Now, Mr. Topain." I let go of Aideen's hand and took the seat dead and center. Lydia, looked at me totally shocked and by her face I knew she was scared for me to fail. I took the seat and the class started five minutes in and I was totally lost. I kept looking behind me seeing my girlfriend and Lydia four rows behind me, both of them looking totally worried. "Mr. Topain?"

"Um...X=9.4?" I looked at my paper as he gave out a huge sigh as the bell sounded. Everyone cleared out and Lydia came up to me.

"I'll meet you at the bakery to help you?" she asked as I nodded. I sighed mentally since I knew she would help me with this, and my heart seemed to have slowed down a little as I felt Aideen grab my hand.

"You ok?"

"No, I am totally freaking out," I bit my lip as the teacher cleared him throat.

"Mr. Topain…" he made the come here motion with his finger and the two of us walked to his desk. "Alone, Mr. Topain."

"Ok…I'll meet you in history," Aideen said bitterly walking out the door.

"Ok, I don't get it, I moved you closer to the board and you still aren't paying attention. You sit by Lydia and Aideen and all you three do is talk. What is wrong, boy?"

"Well as I have tried telling you sir, is that Lydia, Aideen, and I are not talking about randomness, we are talking about your lesson. Lydia is just dumbing it down for me so I understand it. But when I tried explaining that to you last night you completely ignored me."

"Is this the truth?"

"Yes, it's the truth," I blurted like 'you idiot'. "I'm sorry, but if you don't believe me ask Lydia, she'll tell you," I sighed as the warning bell rang.

"Get to class, I'll think about it." After he let me go I ran down the hall jumping staircases just to make it to class. My history class felt like it flew by since we were finishing up the French Revolution and I was really excited since tomorrow we were starting the Titanic, which made me extremely happy. As my history class ended I hugged Aideen and ran over to Scott and Stiles.

"Ok, we have got a little surprise for you," I said placing my hand on his shoulder.

"Guys, how is this going to help with training to get angry?" Scott asked as we walked onto the lacrosse field. I pulled the duct tape out and tied his hands up.

"Well I think this will get you plenty angry," I answered as Stiles through me my lacrosse stick. He picked up his and held up some plastic device.

"Now, I took this from coach and it's a heart monitor. The change comes from the rising of your heart, so well we monitor it and see how high it gets and how angry you get," Stiles answered as I cradled the first ball in my stick. I threw it and smacked Scott in his shoulder.

"Guys, I don't like this," Scott replied as Stiles threw the next ball hitting his chest. I got the next hit hitting his groin and knocking him to the floor. We kept going back and forth, the monitor seemed to be picking up and Scott was almost in a ball. I could hear his breathing getting heavier. Stiles plan was actually working. Scott screamed and the tape broke and he stood up, Stiles started laughing as Scott started to breath deeper.

"Well, well, well," we heard a familiar voice. The three of us looked to see Aideen walking up to us.
