The past four months haven't been as rough, my heat spells have become easier to control, no slip ups. Derek and I are alphas, alphas go through changes as they
mature. Our werewolf forms has changed over the past four months, we have four total fangs on our upper jaw and our claws have gotten sharper .I was going to the
loft. "So we know that they have Boyd and Erica, all we have to do is find out where they are and we can get them out" Derek said holding out a map of Beacon Hills.
My twin brother couldn't stop obsessing over finding our missing betas. Talia looked like a six year old. Her aging will soon slow down to normal. She had her head in
my neck. "Tal, you wanna see your uncle Derek" I smirked at her. She smiled at me and nodded her head. I opened the door, set Talia on the floor. My twin was
focused on the paper, he didn't notice us. "Uncle Derek" Talia screamed for her favorite uncle. She ran to him. "Hey, how's my favorite sister and niece" Derek said after
picking her up. She nuzzled her head in his neck. "We are fine" I smirked at him. Derek gave me a serious are you really ok look. "Uncle Der, don't be such a sourwolf"
Talia said with a smile on her face. I tried to hold in my laugh but couldn't. "Where in the Hale did you learn that" He asked his niece. "Daddy taught me." She replied,
Derek gave me a smirk. "Hey don't blame me for what Stiles does" I smiled as Talia began poking his face. I then heard a whine from her. "What's wrong Lil Moon"
Derek asked looking into her eyes. "My fingertip hurt, my teeth ache, and my ears feel tingly" She replied. "Der I think she is going to shift for the first time the next full
moon." I said caressing my daughter's cheek. I stayed with her, Derek helped explain to my baby girl what was happening to her. "Der she is going to have to stay
here, when the full moon is up" I said after she fell asleep on the couch. Derek got her a pillow and blanket. For the rest of the night, Derek and I talked about plans to
find the Alpha Pack. I only got a few hours of sleep. I woke up the next morning to many calls on my phone. Derek soon woke up with his niece curled up to his side.
"Derek, if Talia wakes up tell her I am out going for a jog" I smirked as I got the keys to my impala. Melissa called me and texted that Isaac is in the hospital I
thought to him. He nodded his head at me. He closed his eye and wrapped his large arms around Talia. Pack members in times of distress would comfort each other. I
got into my car, memories filled my mind, after my family was burned alive, Derek, Laura and I were inseparable. I began driving to the hospital, a scent came across
my nose. Damn it, some of the Alpha Pack are here, I also smelt Scott and Isaac. I got out of my car, grabbing my jacket, putting it on, and going inside. I smelt Ennis,
Scott, and Isaac. I got to the elevator entrance. They were fighting, "Don't you realize what you're dealing with, I'm An ALPHA" Ennis said as the door slid open. My
claws were out, I stabbed his back. "So am I" My voice was a bit deeper, my wolf present, and boy was I pissed, I threw the sorry excuse of an alpha out of the
elevator. I shut the door. I looked at an unconscious Isaac and a wore out Scott. "Aren't you supposed to be in school" I looked at him. Scott shifted back and got up. I
got Isaac in my car and Scott followed me. While Scott was on the phone, I called Derek and told him to bring Talia with him to the Hale Manor. I heard them arrive,
Talia squirmed out of Derek's grip, and got into mine. "Hey baby girl" I smiled at her. I saw her eyes glowing a really dull yellow. "You two don't still live here, do you?"
Scott asked us. "No. The county took it over, plus I growled consistently at my baby bro to finally get a place" I smirked at him. Scott looked at Derek. "I gave up
correcting her on the 10 minute difference between our births" Derek said glaring at my head. "But there's something here that I need. It'll help heal a wound from an
Alpha." I said giving Talia to Derek. "Yeah, but it did heal." Scott replied to me, but I kept looking for the herbs. "Not on the inside." Derek respond as Talia began
poking his face. He turned his head and pretended to bite her finger. She giggled at the action. "Hey, are you gonna tell me who that was back there? That Alpha."
Scott asked me as I moved a few boards. "A rival pack. It's our problem. I know you wanna help, and you did. I owe you one. Now go home. Go back to being a
teenager." I said right before I found the plants. "Uh, hey, Akira. If you wanna repay back that favor now... There is something you can do for me." Scott said clutching
his right bicep. After fifteen minutes, Stiles appeared, He kissed me. "Daddy" I saw Talia getting out of my twin's grip. She got into her father's grip. "What have you
been up to my Lil Wolflit" Stiles asked our beautiful daughter. "Being with mommy and Uncle Derek, and your right daddy he is a sourwolf" She smiled as she nuzzled
her neck into his. Derek got up and glared at Stiles. "Talia, I think Uncle Derek is going to kill me." Stiles said a bit scared. "He wouldn't do that because if he does that,
Mommy going to have to teach him a lesson in Hale Fighting 101" I said making my eyes glow their blood red for one second. Derek stiffened up and went to check on
Isaac. "I am my family's best fighter" I smirk at my fiancé. Scott sat down and lifted his sleeve. "Yeah, we see it. It's two bands, right? What does it mean?" I said as I
looked at the tattoo under his healed skin. "I don't know. It's just something I traced with my fingers." Scott said tracing two circles into the dust on the table. "Why is
this so important to you?" Derek asked him. "Do you know what the word "tattoo" means?" Scott asked us. "To mark something." I replied. "Well, that's in Tahitian. In
Samoan, it means "open wound. "I knew I wanted to get a tattoo when I turned 18. I always wanted one. I just decided to get it now, to make it kind of a reward."
Scott explained to my twin and I. "For what?" Derek asked Scott. "For not calling or texting Allison all summer. Even when I really wanted to, even when it was so hard
not to sometimes. I was trying to give her the space she wants. Going four months later, it still hurts. It still feels like a, uh..." Scott was trying to find the right words.
"Like an open wound." Stiles and I said in unison. "Yeah." Scott said confused a bit. "The pain's gonna be worse than anything you've ever felt." I said after Derek
handed the blow torch. I turned it on and the fast blue flame began igniting. "Ah, that's great." Stiles exclaimed "Do it." Scott nodded at me. "Oh, wow. That's a...
that's a lot for me. So I'm gonna take that as my cue. I'm just gonna wait outside." Stiles said heading to the door. I gripped his hand "Nope. You can help Derek hold
him down." I said and he nodded. Stiles gave me a quick kiss. Once Stiles was next to Derek, helping him hold down the beta wolf. Talia went to Isaac to check if he
was ok. "Oh, my God." Stiles exclaimed. I gripped Scott's right hand in mine. I then connected the flame to the skin where his tattoo was healed over. He began
writhing in pain. "Hold him." I growled at my twin. The skin began bubbling under the flame. His eyes began glowing their bright yellow. His fangs appeared and he
screamed. "Derek do it" I said making my eyes glow red. Derek knocked him unconscious. After 10 minutes the tattoo was burned out. The skin around the ink healed.
The tattoo stood out like a normal tattoo would. "Aah! Aah! It worked. "Scott said as soon as he came to. Talia ran to Stiles and nuzzled his neck. "Well, it looks pretty
damn permanent now." Stiles said with our daughter in his arms. "Yeah. I kind of needed something permanent. Everything that's happened to us... everything just
changes so fast. Everything's so, uh... Ephemeral." Scott said as I walked over to the stairs. "Studying for the PSATs?" Stiles said getting by my side. "Yep." Scott
nodded. "Nice." I said smiling. "You painted the door. Why'd you paint the door?" Scott looked at both Derek and I. "Go home, Scott. "I said giving him a look. "And why
only one side?" Scott said unsheathing his claws. "Scott." I growled. "The birds at school and the deer last night... just like the night I got trampled by the deer when I
got bit by the Alpha. How many are there?" Scott asked me as Derek came from behind me. "A pack of 'em. An Alpha pack." I replied. "All of them? How does that even
work?" Scott asked looking at my face. "I hear there's some kind of a leader. He's called Deucalion. We know they have Boyd and Erica. Akira, Peter, Isaac, and I have
been looking for them for the last four months." Derek said crossing his arms over his chest. "Let's say you find them. How do you deal with an Alpha pack? "Scott
asked us. My head began hurting. "With all the help I can get." Derek replied. "Where is she? Where's the girl?" I heard Isaac say. My headache getting worse. "What
girl?" Derek said angered. All of a sudden, I am in the most pain I have ever been in my life. I clutch my head, the pain feels like my skull is splitting in two. I hear the
three backing up. Talia's screams at Scott to let her go. I see their forms blurring, Scott holding Talia tightly. The pain radiates all over my body, I let out a scream, I
begin writhing in pain, and my spine begins buckling. "Derek what's happening to her" I hear in the distance. Then everything is dulled down, I see The Alpha Pack and
My Pack in this dusty building fighting, I see a large person fighting Ennis. The person has a large scar on its face. It's not Aiden and Ethan combined. The large person
separates, I saw on the ground Derek and I. Wait a minute, Derek and I can? Then I see Aiden and Ethan beginning to fight Derek. Soon Ennis clashes with Scott. They are
equally matched, Scott is pushed back. I see for a quick second his eyes are a searing red, they go back to their normal yellow. I get up, slash Ennis on his back, he hits me on
my face. We are close to the edge, Scott slashes Ennis' calf. I grab Ennis and we fall, I stared at Scott as I fell. I feel the pain disappear. I saw Scott, Stiles, Derek, Isaac and
Talia looking at me worried. "I'm okay" I said getting up. Stiles and Talia rushed over to me. I embrace the two. Stiles kisses my lips with passion. He cups my cheeks,
"I'm okay really, it was just a memory episode" I said getting up. Talia jumps into my arms. She wraps her arms around my neck and nuzzles her cheek into mine
