• The Omega Pack

    Theo McCall chuckled at Malia Tate's message.

    They were texting for a while now, but seeing the time and as tomorrow would be first day of back-to-school, he advised her to go to bed, even if she's already in. Like, it's time to sleep, wouldn't she like to be in form for her first day at school after nine years living in the wild.

    She said her super metabolism was super fast to catch up, so she'll be fine.

    He send her a goodnight text. Himself was ready to sleep and after a last look to Scott's empty room (who was still at the Yukimura), he fell asleep the moment he touched the cushion.

    A noise woke him a moment later.

    He didn't how know much time passed but he guessed it must be Scott coming home. Except, the sound was closer, like it was his door being opened. Was Scott checking on him?

    "Scott?" He called out with sleepy voice.

    The smell didn't belong to Scott.

    Theo was instantly awake and his eyes fell on a stranger who was watching him with eyes as wide. A muglar? But why was he upstairs? Besides, it wasn't like there were anything to steal at the McCall hoousehold.

    "Who are you?" The unknown blond guy asked him.

    "Who are you?" Theo retorted back, offensed.

    He's not the one who broke into a house. But it seemed the guy thought he was as he frown his brows at him.

    Then the front door opened and Melissa's voice called up.

    "Theo?"

    "Melissa be careful! There's a stranger upstairs!"

    "I'm not a stranger!" The said stranger growled.

    "Isaac?" Melissa's voice went surprise.

    And then, Scott's voice was there too.

    "That's why I told you to take my room, Isaac!"

    Both guys shot an incredulous look at Scott who barged to the room door too.

    "OK, boys, explain," Melissa shot a perplexe look at her son.

    Theo would like an explanation too.

     

    So, Isaac's another foster kid that Melissa took under her roof at Scott's demand. He lost his father after he was killed by the Kanima, he's a beta werewolf of Derek but quited the pack when the Kanima affair went uncontrollable like the others beta before Derek lose his alpha spark to save his sister's life. But after the alpha pack and darach case, he went to France with Scott's ex-girlfriend to take a break from the supernatural of Beacon Hills.

    Now, he's back. With the girlfriend.

    "And since we parted as foster brother, he had his place in this house," Scott ended his explanation.

    "While you were where?"

    "...At Kira?"

    "That's not how I raised you! You should have had Kira there, not the other way!"

    "We didn't want to bother Theo!"

    "And I do appreciate to not be the third wheel. Again."

    Melissa accepted this answer.

    "But couldn't you have told Isaac that you had another foster brother in the house?"

    Something warm spread inside Theo's chest to be called Scott's brother.

    "That... did come to me when Kira said a quid pro quo would araise. But I especially told Isaac that he take my room!"

    "I thought you were being polite because the guess room wasn't prepped! I thought I could do it to not bother your stuff..."

    Guess now he knew why Scott's room and not the guess room who belongs to his another foster brother.

    "OK, so Isaac would have take your room and where would you sleep? On the couch?"

    Scott avoided his mother's eyes when he answered.

    "At Kira?"

    That wasn't the answer Melissa was expecting.

    "Oh, you will definitely sleep on the couch tonight for thinking like that."

    Problem solved.

     

    It wasn't until the next day that everyone was introduced.

    Allison came to school in her father's car, without the man, and was engulfed in a hug by Lydia, who wouldn't let her go even when the group was gathered.

    So, Allison Argent was Chris Argent's daughter and Gerard Argent's granddaughter that attempted to kill her when he was on final stage of his cancer, so he played Scott's group and forced Derek to bite him. But he didn't turn because he ate mountain ashes before the bite, hence he assured his life without being turned into those creature he's hunting. Useless to say that Chris and Allison didn't keep him in their heart. At least, now, she returned Beacon Hills, and just in USA, she will be the leader of the Argent family (after her mother's death), who changed their code : We protect those who can't protect themselves.

    Hence, she could bang the omega werewolf Isaac Lahey.

    "And to say, she was the one who caused you to be bitten," Theo sighed, exceeded by their old story.

    Because it was kind of ironic. When Allison first came into the town, she didn't even know her family history and dated Scott, into the preserve because it would be romantic. But then, Scott was bitten by a rogue alpha that killed Laura Hale for the power. Scott's life was then mingled with the supernatural when Derek went to avenge his sister. Later, when Allison's mother (then leader of the Argent family) discovered his nature, she attempted to kill Scott. He was thankfully saved by Derek who bit Victoria Argent who, following the hunter code, killed herself before she turned into a werewolf. That broke Allison who went on crazy hunter like her aunt Kate (Derek's former abuser) and was manipulated by her grandfather Gerard who made her torture Derek's others beta werewolf, Isaac included.

    Still, Allison broke up with Scott and got close to Isaac, but then Kira entered in their group and the tension between Scallisaac melted and it was just Scira and Allisaac, because the latter couple went to France before the Nogitsune started to cause havoc. Ethan's twin brother was a victim.

    "But the one that pushed me to date Allison was Erica, my best friend," Scott said.

    Erica was Derek's beta along with Isaac and a last member, Vernon Boyd. Theo remembered the three of them formed the disable trio with two asthmatic boys and a epilepsien girl. Theo wasn't that close with her because she was kind of stealing Scott's attention from him with their love of Batman and catwoman, Theo wasn't that much fan of comic because the Raeken didn't let him have leisure, even small like that.

    "Where are they, Boyd and her?" Allison asked gently.

    She may have torture the two of them, but if she managed to get pass with Isaac, she could make amend to both of them too.

    "Still on road trip," Scott informed her.

    "The day of their departure, Erika said they will join this werewolf pack in Texas," Isaac carried on with a sad smile.

    Because he remembered his packmates proposing him to go with them, but at this moment he already promised loyalty to Scott, fighting against the Kanima and Gerard Argent.

    "Now, they're on their own, travelling the country. But they might stop there one day."

    "Derek would be overjoyed to see them," Isaac smirked.

    "Did you talk to him?" Kira asked him curiously.

    "Not yet."

    "He will know, his smell is one of a chaser," Malia rolled her eyes.

    Allison and Isaac didn't know what to make from the wild girl. Seemed she had some blood link with the Hales, but no one knew from who, just that her biological mother wanted to kill her to take her werecoyote power back.

    They all groaned when the bell rang to start their first lesson of the day, Malia the most loud of them.

     

    At lunch break, Allison and Isaac were shocked to see Julia Baccari taking her job of English teacher back, after their departure.

    "I thought she was dead?"

    "Didn't Deucalion killed her?"

    "Well, if you went to see Derek, you would have know that no, Deucalion didn't kill her even if he thought he did."

    Isaac ignored Lydia's snark to point out something she said. "Are they still together? Derek and her?"

    "They're...sorting things out? Like she's not the only person who did wrong things in their life," Scott said with an incertain voice.

    Adult's relation are kind of difficult to grasp for him.

    "She's still using her glamour, right? No one seemed to get that they had an old staff and the students didn't seem fazed to see a scared woman teaching them," Allison noted.

    "Yeah, the magic's enough to get rid of normal human eyes, but those who already saw her face might see through the glamor," Kira confirmed the huntress.

    "This is nothing wrong. She just don't want curious eyes on her. Even Cora forgive her with the mistletoe poisonning." Ethan shrugged casually.

    "Is she alright?" Isaac asked with interest.

    "Again, if you went to see Derek..."

    Isaac nodded quickly before Malia finished her sentence. Got it, he will go to see Derek after school. That decision made Allison scoff.

    Theo didn't got much grasp after that because his attention turned to someone talking to him. Someone he didn't know, which is surprising because except Scott's clique and his Chimera gang, he didn't talk to anyone else.

    "Theo, I guess you didn't even remember me, but I just want to tell you something before I go. I wanted to thank you for saving my life and giving me the friendship that I was missing before meeting you guys. We won't be able to see each other, but the time spend with you was super, thanks guys."

    It wasn't directed to just him, but also to the rest of the Chimeras and Hayden, which confused them too. The boy then left, leaving them wordless.

    "Do you know him?" Malia blurted after a moment of silence.

    Theo frowned at the afro-american guy's back but shook his head.

    "Never saw him. And you?"

    Corey and Josh denied too, while Tracy and Hayden shrugged, as unaware.

    "Anyway, I get that you saved his life and this is vere nice of you, Theo!" Scott said with a proud smile.

    An that? Just made Theo flushed like a little girl.

     

    After school, while the lacrosse team was practicing, Isaac was hesitating about going to the lacrosse training or going to see Derek first. Allison didn't have any club obligation and spend the day with Lydia, leaving him and his dilemma alone.

    "Do you want me to give you Derek's address?"

    He started at Malia's sudden appearence.

    "Doesn't he live in the loft anymore?"

    "Well, I don't know if it's the same loft you're talking about."

    Even after getting the address, Isaac wasn't sure.

    "What about you?" He changed the subject. So he could have an excuse to stay in school longer.

    "I'm waiting for Theo, who's in football practice. He'll teach me how to drive."

    "I can teach you."

    Malia rolled her eyes and it reminded him so much of Derek (and Cora) that he headed to his place without waiting for Malia's answer. If she was ever going to give him one.

    Besides, the football club at Beacon Hills' joke, they're so lame. If he went to the lacrosse's training he would get the idea that their team wasn't that better. After all the supernatural shit happening, nobody got the time for sport.

    Still, Scott, Kira, Ethan and Corey were on the team (the latter was replacing Danny, as the team need a gay goalie. Kidding, he just applied to the post to impress his boyfriend so Mason could cheer for his best friend and boyfriend). So, yeah, the team kind of suck right now, and the Davenford lacrosse team would made it very clear everytime they come play a game against them. But as Isaak didn't see it, he won't aknowledge it. (#See no evil)

    After sport training, Scott and Theo would checked in before parting ways. With Scott either spending the time with Kira or going to work at the animal clinic, and Theo spending the time either with the chimeras or Malia. This time it was the latter for both.

    While Scott was taking Kira's home on his bike, Theo's teaching Malia to drive, and it wasn't easy. For one, she still have the mental of a nine years old but with more harshness after nine years living as animal. She didn't care about signalization and priorities, and from the moment she could use the wheel and the pedals correctly, she considered she was fine. Except, she clearly wasn't.

    Theo wasn't that worry they crash (regardless, a little bit), but he kind of cared about his truck so after thirty minutes of lesson, he asked her to take a break (more for him than her). Accidentally, they stopped before the preserve. And after ten minutes of break, where Theo noticed Malia's sad expression, he let her take the wheel back. And she was less agressive and more attentive of his instruction.

     

    (When she got her driver lisence, her father bought her a new brand car with all the money he kept with him as he didn't have to use it for the last eight years.)

     

    Isaac went to lacrosse practice back, to coach Finstock's joy.

    "Lahey! Glad to see a good player back in the rank! Now, everybody on the field for today's training!"

    That was quick. But a short greeting was still a greeting.

    Isaac noticed how the team wasn't as it was when he left it. First, there was new teammates (including Kira that the boys joined on the field as she was only girl player), then, everybody seemed more rattling than ever.

    "What's happening?" Isaak whispered to Scott.

    Because Scott was everyone's moral compass and they will always seek help from him whenever something wasn't right.

    "To defeating the Dread Doctors and the Beast, we had to use a lacrosse game to gather everyone there, including teachers. It was against Davenford Prep, we lost."

    Ouch.

    "Coach would probably recast the players on first line now you're here," Ethan commented.

    That surprised Isaac, both of them didn't have the best of relationship but he didn't know that the gay twin actually regard his athletics play.

    Truth to be told, Coach recasted most of the first line player. Scott, Ethan, Kira, Liam and two others players remained, Isaac, Corey, Nathan Pierce and Nolan Holloway were changed to first line. Later, when he informed it to Allison, she told him that she applied swim team back too.

    Now, they would be quitting school after pratice together.

     

     

    Julia Baccari took her role as guardian of three ophaned chimeras really seriously.

    She advised Tracy to take some course to help her college recommandation, and made her take appointement with the school guidance councelor, Miss Morell, more time than necessary. But since she was stressing about her grades, she needed to talk to someone and Marin Morell was the someone qualified for the job. She waited till after lacrosse practice to take Corey and Josh back to the Raeken house (that they should probably changed the name), who usually would wander in the school, trying to do something with his homework to level up his grade, that was dropping bit by bit.

    Then, she would made them dinner or let them choose whatever takeaway they wanted. Sometime, Derek and Cora would pass and spend sometimes with them (and with totally platonically feeling for the former).

    And if Hayden wasn't under her care, she would also include her when talking about education and/or training their supernatural sense. Because, she may be an actual werewolf, it's like her shapeshifter powers got boosted (compared from her chimera power of werewolf and werejaguar) now she asked freedom from her alpha, Deucalion.

    (Oh, and needless to say that Allison and Isaac were kind of confused to learn that the old alpha was now their ally.)

     

    Malia started vlogging.

    Theo didn't get the concept till she explained him that was something teenager do and post on internet to get view, if the content of the vid pleased and she get followers and she coud get easy money like that. Hayden explained her.

    Theo was kind of offensed that Hayden didn't tell him.

    "I didn't know you'd be interested," was her excuse.

    Truly, it didn't interest Theo that much, but Malia was kind of infatuate with and always filming everything, including him as he's the most close person she got.

    She was filming when he was at football practice, filming when he started rapping when a beat started up, filming when doing their homework.

    But usually, he would use the excuse so she finish her math exercices instead of filming.

    "Fuck math! I don't need it for my profession as vlogger!"

    "Pretty sure you need it to calculate how much follower you need to raise your pay."

    But he had to help her so she will end her exercices and stop being a pain in the ass, then, to comfort her effort, she will ask to run. As in their animal form. Theo would sigh but eventually concede.

    So, once, Isaac saw them locking themselves into the janitor room and undressing through the glassy window. Seconds later, a huge brown wolf and a slender grey coyote would jump out of the room and run like some play. They will disappear behind the trees, but Isaac would be frozen on the spot.

    "Are they...somewhat not aware that's not, like, normal behavior?" He asked Scott that got his shocked state.

    "They're both sort of estranged from social manner for eight years, having both been cut from normal human contact."

    A way to explain Malia's wildness like still living the jungle law and Theo's sociopathy after living with three crazy scientists.

    When they're tired after running (and missing some of the next lesson), one of the chimera would be always at the door of the janitor room, waiting for them to shift back to human and dress and act like regulars students.

    "Hi, Theo. Hi, Malia," Tracy greeted them back.

    "Hey, Tracy," they would answer her like nothing's wrong.

    But Isaac was still there, and still awed by the events. He snapped back to reality when Tracy smilled at him then walked out before he could answer.

    "She's cute."

    "If only she knew," Malia sighed.

    "What do you mean? She is."

    "Well, tell that to her face," Theo instructed him.

     

    Isaac didn't get why they said that. But since he just notice how weird they were, maybe it was one of their antics. Then, he walked into the conversation.

    The chimera pack were discussing at their lunch table, minus Theo and Malia who sat with Scott and Kira. Himself was with Allison and walking to join them, Lydia having a discussion with her biology teacher (who's her mom).

    "For god's sake, Trace, you're gorgeous!" The electricity chimera -Josh- huffed, like it wasn't the first time he's having this conversation.

    "Sure, Josh, I believe you," Tracy said, with a voice so flat that let think she passed the stade where she believe a word of what he's companion could say.

    "No, really, Tracy, you're pretty!" The invisible guy -Corey- argued too.

    Tracy smiled kindly at him. "You're so nice, Corey."

    Meaning that she didn't believe any more of what he's saying.

    "This is not being nice. Even I, as gay guy, could say that you're handsome."

    The chimeras shot a look to the vessel of the Beast -Mason-, thinking that using the word 'handsome' wouldn't really help shape Tracy's self-deprecation physic.

    "You guys didn't know how to do it." The only other girl -Hayden- spoke up. "I know Tracy's attractive, we know Tracy's attractive, but we're also Tracy' friend, so we need a stranger's opinion. Dunbar, what do you think about Tracy?"

    Liam jumped at the sudden attention, and Isaac was glad that he wasn't friend with any of the chimeras because having all of their eyes on you wasn't something confortable.

    "I think Tracy is really good-looking girl."

    All of them smiled. Tracy quite bitterly.

    "Oh really, Liam? Or are you just saying that because you fear what Hayden could do to you?"

    Maybe asking Liam Dunbar, Hayden's nemesis, wasn't a good idea. Hayden glared at the said boy who was kind of pitiful under the girl's furious look.

    "Seriously, you're being ridiculous, Tracy. You just being stubborn so we flatter you."

    Tracy was as exasperate as Josh was by his last comment, that earned him Hayden's glare (much to Liam's relief), and she ended the subject by her response :

    "If I'm that good-looking (a look to Liam), how no one ever told me that except of you?"

    Isaac would like to intervene and said how cute she is, but Allison was just beside him and he didn't want to be the douche boyfriend who was smitten with other girl.

    And that's such a shame to have people being so underestimating of themselves.

    Thanks god, they did know people that could be very objective.

    Brett Talbot was Davenford Prep lacrosse's captain. He's also Liam's rival (even if one's human), and a very attractive eight pack werewolf that never cease to mezmerize Mason whenever he got the chance to look at his cleavage (which, objectively, are very great). He's a douche, too. A smirky smug douche, really handsome, that got eyes.

    After his game against Beacon Hills Cyclones (which ended as a tie, thanks to the recast of Coach), he couldn't stop bragging about how Beacon Hills couldn't come up at their level and that's because of some player. It never stopped reeling Liam up, even if the boy knew he's being poked purposefully. Ethan would always be behind Liam to stop him doing something stupid he'll regret while rolling his eyes at Brett, his packmate.

    But then, the rest of the team trailed out of the locker-room and the chimeras would congratulate their friend Corey (who actually didn't play that good, but hush, friend's job is to cheer their friend, even if they suck). And Tracy's motherly tone attracted Brett who never saw her from all the people Scott's group was composed.

    He introduced himseld by entering in the group's discussion. "And what's your name?"

    "Tracy."

    "A beautiful name for a beautiful girl."

    Smooth. And clearly working as Tracy blushed graciously. Her grace and confidence lost, she's her shy self again, looking pleased and embarrassed at the attention.

    "You have something planning tonight? What about a date with me?"

    And quick.

    "Intense," Mason whispered.

    Corey pushed him, with the rest of the chimera, out of the way of the new couple. They passed before Theo and Malia who nearly high five at the scene. But Malia pulled out her phone, wanting to film the rest of this 'love at first sight'. Fortunately, Theo was fast and pocketed her phone back.

    "You can't take people's picture without their consent."

    "Then, I'm gonna ask them."

    "No, no more cockblocking after Mason's comment."

    But Ethan and the chimera weren't that happy for their friend. As regular customers of Sinema, Corey and Josh recognized Brett as being one too. He's a sympathetic hot dancer, but also quite a flirt. And Hayden, for having served drinks in the club, also knew that he got plenty partners. They should be glad their friend finally got the attention she deserved but they're not sure Brett could be the one that assure the role seriously, as Ethan said, he didn't really do relationship.

    But maybe, it's different with Tracy, you know?

    She knew and is involved in the supernatural without being a supernatural creature, so she could get along with a werewolf on her own.

    Well, everyone hoped to, at least.

     

    There was a party.

    Lydia's the one who organized it. Allison's the main girl of the day. Because it's her birthday. Allie said it wasn't necessary, she's nineteen, not eighteen. But her best friend hushed her and told her to let her do it. Since they weren't together for her eighteen, as they were estranged, Lydia wanted to give her the birthday party she deserved.

    Everyone was there, could have been there. Theo and Hayden were at work (they worked in the same place at the same shift so Theo's driving them there) and it was their first day, they couldn't miss it, so they didn't make the night at the party but did wish Allison's a great party. Kira was also missing, she said she had to do something and would be late but she promised to make it.

    Isaac was there for his girlfriend and snuggled to her all the time.

    It was actually a really small party, only their group of friend were present. And most of them knew about the supernatural, so the conversation was more free.

    Scott was talking to his teammates Ethan and Liam, waiting for his girlfriend to come. Lydia, the host, was enjoying herself and dancing with Cora. Who complained about how her brother was annoying at relationship even at twenty something and even worse now his interest are on the former druid/darach/undeterminated. The said couple was pretending talking like the two only adults beside the punch, but the sexual tension was so dense it could choke. And the room was filled of supersense were creature (with actual werewolf or even part). The chimeras were discussing between them, with Brett so close to Tracy that's suspicious. But Tracy was clear, they're not a couple (Not yet).

    "So, about the Beast? I didn't really hear the end of this story," Brett suddenly asked Mason.

    "Oh, well, except for the one victim, the technician guy, he didn't have the time to make other strike before we put him down thanks to Lydia," Corey said.

    Mason showed his boyfriend like he got the end word.

    "Like he said, I wasn't even aware of all this. Like one time I was watching the lacrosse game you were playing, the next I was in those tunnels."

    "It was like the Doctors ressurrected it for nothing," Josh snorted.

    "Come to think about it, who were they? How did they manage to do so much experiment to which end?" Lorilee questioned.

    Since her brother was invited, she had the right to be in the party too, being herself a werewolf.

    "Theo said they knew personnally the Beast. Which mean they got at least 250 years since the Beast came from the 18th century. And with so much time, they developed a lot of things," Malia said.

    They all whistled, because damn, how did they manage to stay alive till a few months ago?

    Malia knitted her brows, having actually no idea.

    "I don't know, probably the same way Theo brought you back," she said remembering what she saw when she was in her coyote form and acting like Theo's familiar.

    The chimeras nodded, but the werewolves siblings were curious.

    "And how did he bring you back?"

    Because, the Doctors using genetic chimera to ressurrect the beast with Mason as vessel was crazy enough, but bringing death back? And keeping oneself alive for 250 years? A cure!

    "We had no idea," Tracy said slowly.

    And Malia realized that she actually had no idea either.

    A thunder erupted and made the lights flicker.

    "Wow, didn't know the weather was that thunderous."

    It took a moment but the lights came back and everyone returned to their activity. But Josh got a feeling.

    "No, it's Kira!"

    "What? How do you know?"

    The chimera with electricity power didn't answer and rushed outside, with Malia on his toe. They ran some miles to somewhere, both using their supernatural sense to guide them. They finally stopped to some abandonned house and noted the place was ravaged. Both of them shared a look, before deciding to step in.

    They didn't got the chance as deputy Parrish walked out, in his hellhound outfit meaning topless and in soot with only the pant fine. Kira appeared from behind the house, katana in hand. Josh tensed as everytime he saw her with her Kitsune power actif, she lost control like the lasts months.

    But Kira was fine and totally human. She smiled happily seeing them.

    "What are you guys doing here?"

    "And what about you? That's what you had to do? Training in this abandoned house?"

    "Yes! I even got my second tail!" She showed them the shuriken that proved her words.

    "And how did you do that?"

    Kira's smile fell and she tilted her head. She had no idea. And Jordan Parrish's presence here was unexplanable either. But they eventually shrugged it off and put it on the supernatural. Sometime, it's better to let things unclear.

    Josh and Malia took Kira and Jordan to the party as it was far from finish. And it didn't even bother Lydia to have another guests, even if his outfit was quite inappropriate. But guess, between harbinger of death, they could let that slip.

    The others all congratulated Kira for her second tail, meaning that she managed to contrôle her Kitsune (no more Josh and Kira's promixity), while Kira was celebrating Allison's birthday. 

    From this night, stormy season ended. 

     

    It's only two months later that Theo and Hayden's job was revealed.

    Not that the chimeras were curious, but they were. Especially if it pay so well that Theo could pay the repair of Melissa's car so it looked like a brand new one.

    "What does that mean, Theo?"

    "Well, you said you wouldn't use the Doctors' money and I want to be helpful, so I used my job's money."

    "But what kind of job that paid you so well you could afford the repair of my car?"

    Because it was a pretty old car that most of the damage were fixed with tape.

    "I'm strip-teaser."

    The house went silent while the McCall were thinking about Theo doing that kind of job and even Isaac (who was assisting the talk) imagining Hayden doing the same as they seemed to work for the same place.

    "Kidding. You didn't really think I was serious? I can't have that kind of job, I'm still underage."

    They learned to breath again and made a note to teach Theo how to joke to avoid future near heart attack.

    He was actualy waiter in this really fancy restaurant located out of the town but inside Beacon County. Hayden and him took the job because the pay was really interesting and the place was close to certain school with certain werewolves. Yep, it was just next to the Davenford Prep.

    Since Hayden got her sweet sixteen not long before Allison had her birthday, Hayden was searching for actual job where she won't be fooled by an irresponssible employer like Phil. It happened that Theo was aslo looking for job and he got a nice appearance and could be really professional (thanks to the Doctors, only actual thanks), so they applied to be waiter. Even as part-time job, the wages was enough to pay a lot of thing.

    "And mom's car needed to be fixed. It was nothing, seriously."

    Theo's starting to think he did something really wrong when Melissa's eyes watered.

    "What...what did I say?"

    But Scott and Isaac were looking as moved.

    "You called me mom. And you're right, Theo. The car need to be fixed, I'm grateful that you helped, that means a lot, thank you."

    If his slip made his blush, her praise pleased him beyond all he was expecting. He couldn't even hide his own tears when mom embraced him. Maybe he did it because he wanted to be thanked, but mostly he did it because he wanted to help and thank the McCall for accepting him as family.

    And now, that he let down the wall, he could easily say he got what he want and he's glad.

     

    Erica and Boyd came back in town.

    It's coincidentally the same time Gerard Argent came back. Or not so coincidence, according to Chris Argent. (27.04.2020)

    "He followed us here?" Erica screeched.

    "Well, since the deal with the Dread Doctors and the Beast, he was quite eager to heal from his cancer and return to being hunter," Chris explained.

    "You mean a rogue hunter who doesn't follow the code," Allison intervened. "So, that's why you weren't there to welcome me back to Beacon Hills."

    Her father gave her an apologetic smile but it became strain.

    "There's something else."

    Chris shared a look with Scott and Derek.

    "What is it?" And Allison didn't notice, but she kind of use an instructive tone. Like a leader.

    "The first time I leave you guys in France wasn't because of Gerard, but because another rogue Argent was causing havoc in USA."

    Allison frowned, to her knowledge, there wasn't any other Argents. But then, she wasn't even aware that Gerard was her grandfather, so maybe there were others Argents that diddn't follow the rule.

    "Kate, she's alive and a werejaguar."

    The information took an eternity to register.

     

    "Now that Gerard Argent is in town and planning to erase all the supernatural creatures in Beacon Hills, I think this is my time to enter and avenge myself too."

    Erica and Boyd tensed at Deucalion's entrance.

    They may have quited Derek's pack way before the Alpha Pack came in town, they're still wary with any alpha in their perimeter. They took like months to get used of the alpha from the Texan pack.

    (And Erica gave a piece of her mind to Derek for turning her without telling her all the drama that will follow. Derek didn't even defend himself thinking he deserve all the hit she gave him. He did, but Cora didn't think alike and stopped Erica quite violently. Causing Boyd to intervene too. Julia had to separate them all with her magic. Isaac was watching with a bowl of cereal in default of popcorn.)

    "Maybe we should let Allison take the lead as leader of Argent family," Scott suggested.

    "No offence, Scott, but this doesn't concern you. Gerard was the reason I've been blind and created and Alpha Pack, I think he deserve everything I'm planning for him."

    Scott hesitated, because if someone like Gerard was very harmful to the entire world of supernatural, he's still Allison's relatives and...

    "We're going to make Kate and Gerard fight against each other. Since he hates all supernatural, Kate won't be an exception."

    Well, now, he didn't have to worry about Allison's feeling.

    "Yeah, but by the time your aunt will come, Gerard would have already gather his own army and shot every supernatural creatures on sight."

    "And yes, that included you chimeras too. Because if woflsbane isn't that harmful to you, a bullet's still a bullet."

    "Do you want me to shock him before he even start his army? Because Kate may control the Berserker and totally end the hunters, I rather not confront them again, although fighting against them got my first tail."

    Scott soothed his girlfriend, because it was indeed a bad memory.

    "I think he already got his way into the town. Remember that he was once the principal of BHHS."

    Every students that remember the fact shuddered while Kira, Theo and Hayden didn't got it being newcomers after the Kanima affair.

    "We should warn Satomi's pack too, right? As fellow supernatural."

    Sure, Tracy, you're so altruism you thought about other pack. Or more like one member in the pack spefically.

    "Don't worry, Ethan went to inform the danger to his pack."

    Right, Ethan was in Satomi pack, too.

    "Then, what do we do? Going to scchool like nothing's wrong?"

    "Technically, nothing's wrong, yet."

    "Yeah, we're not gonna play dumb and react when they attack, right?"

    "But if we attack first, there would be chance that those not aware of supernatural would see us as threat and Gerard would have what he want, a free army of supernatural hunter."

    Good point. Then, they could just act like regular high schooler and be scared of the former-now-actual principal (possibly).

    "Can't Julia do something? Like controlling wild animal and attack him? Like, we don't even need to make it up as accident."

    "I don't want to provoke the hellhound and outpass his boundaries," Julia said.

    Right, the hellhound, guardian of the supernatural, wouldn't be please that some human play with the magic, even if it's for the greater good.

    "But it would also protect Parrish! I mean, as hellhound, he's certainly targeted too!"

    "Go tell that to his supernatural part."

    "Well, Lydia?"

    Lydia considered but didn't promise anything.

     

    Erica had something to say.

    "What about us? We can't go back to school after missing a year and half."

    "Well, we did and we managed it," Isaac replied.

    "Yeah, but you were schooled in some French school. We, on the other hand, didn't."

    Isaac looked blankly at Boyd, then nodded to the blonde, asking him a silent question. And Boyd, as discret, nodded to confirm. That was the girl's decision.

    "You can still act like high schooler, or would it be to difficult for a bitch like you?"

    Both guys flinched at Allison's cold tone, but Erica scoffed.

    "What, are you trying to be threatful, huntress?"

    "I'd be a threat only if you're easily scared."

    Girls.

    "Ladies and gentlemen, my future sister-in-law," Theo muttered.

    Isaac shot him a look.

    "The mean one, like her partner. Because Kira, like Scott, are the sweet one."

    That earned him a punch in the shoulder. Besides, the two werewolves could spend the time where the student were in school with Cora. But since that meant spending the time with Derek too, they weren't that eager, you see?

    "Well, don't you guys want to do the senior years with us? And then add your name to the senior scribs?"

    Wha-

    "What? What senior scribs? Why didn't I know that?" Theo shouted, offended.

    "Chill, you can add your name, there's still time before the end of the year."

    "Or before Gerard strikes."

    So, Theo went to the library and added his name to the bookshelf, lead by Tracy who had already put her name. The shelf was full of grafittis with two letters name. Some part were so compacted of scribs that nobody could make anything up, but other place were blank. As people thought they coud be interesting by letting so much place. Theo searched for his brothers name and found it with two names he recognized. A.A and I.L. Those prick already added their name by the time they came back and didn't thought about telling him.

    He was appealed to write just above them, but thought against. Not worth. He added his intials after a while.

    T.M

    As in, Theo McCall.

    When he withdrawn, Malia was there filming him. He snatched her phone, earning a whine, and shoved the marker to her. Malia stopped a second before grinning and scribbing down her own initials.

    M.T

    Erica, who followed them there, took the marker and wrote her name too, then she passed it to her packmate Boyd.

    E.R and V.B were the new addition.

    "Does that mean you're going to take the class here?" Tracy asked them.

    "No, we just want to let some trace of our passage."

    The honesty in her answer exasperated the trio. Even Boyd rolled his eyes behind her back.

    "What? Derek did this too!" She justified herself by pointing the D.H.

    And the two former beta knew for a fact that Derek didn't got the time to finish high school.

    "Oh, following your alpha step?"

    "Not our alpha."

    "Not anymore."

    They let it go. Pack mentality was surely an issue in Beacon Hills town.

    "But you still have to pass to see miss Morell, the guidance councelor would give you a piece of her mind to vandalize school property when you're not even schooling there."

    Theo always appreciated Tracy's wit. Especially in situation like that.

     

    "It felt like the deadpool all over again," Brett commented on day.

    They were all gathered at the Raeken (name still unchanged), because the place was unlikely to be targeted unlike the McCall or Derek's loft, and had the chance to be protected by Julia's magic when they learned that Kate Argent was in town.

    Well, 'all' wouldn't be the correct word. Derek and Scott weren't there as they decided to be present and reacted consequently at whatever the two psycho would do. And Deucalion, of course (but it wasn't like the alpha was really part of their group). Plus, Satomi's pack wasn't all there, Brett just wanted to incrust (and used the oppotunity to spend time with Tracy, of course). And when Brett was there, his sister Lori could be there too.

    "What's that?" Isaac inquired.

    "After all the death the nogitsune caused, a hit-list was created and send to all professional assassins in the US to kill off every supernatural creatures in the Beacon Hills and its outlying. Thanks to Danny and Ethan, the deadpool was stopped and Lydia discovered that her fellow banshee was the perpetrator named the Benefactor."

    "Sweet, we better quited the town when we did," Erica snorted.

    Theo couldn't agree more. He came after that and did his part of research but he only got the entire story now. But he wasn't really worried about being threatened if the Doctors chose to came into the town earlier. After all, the chimera were more scientific creature than supernatural.

    He glanced at Tracy, who was sitting next to Brett, at Josh who was cooking something really spanish but not enough acccording to Hayden who wouldn't stop arguing with him, and at Corey on his phone, probably chatting with his boyfriend. Sure, they're not supernatural creatures, so they're not weaken by the natural protection against them, but they're still human and were as fragile as banshee were. With the exception of Hayden, who's an actual werewolf now, and Malia, a werewoyote, their gang could be pretty strong.

    While everyone was busy on their own, Malia was posting one of her videos. That intrigued Erica, who watch her curiously.

    "Are you two a thing?"

    Theo lift his head from Malia's phone, himself mesmerized by her activity.

    "Meaning?"

    "You smell like each other," she said.

    "Well, we do sniff each other a lot."

    Because of their werecoyote part, they can't stop their contact and have to be close.

    Lydia pointed. "I think she was pointing how you're always snuggling."

    Just then, Theo noted that he did have his arm wrapped around her shoulder while she's cuddling to his side.

    "It's a supernatural thing. Like how pack members need to touch each other."

    And he pointed at her closeness with Boyd, while they're comfy in the one place armchair.

    "Really? Isn't it more a canine thing? Because I don't got this feeling," Josh retorted.

    "Dude, you're also part werewolf and you're actually snuggling Corey," Hayden called him out.

    To be fair, he was more handlocking Corey because the boy was being witty.

    "So, that's why Tracy's searching confort with this werewolf?"

    Corey's comment could be innocent, but he was smirking at his fellow chimera, who was closer than necessary to Brett. Tracy glared at him without breaking the distance.

    "Shut up."

    If that made Brett smile, his sister wasn't that amused and rolled her eyes. Which echoed on Cora and Lydia, who had to see her best friend cuddling with Isaac. They're sort of lockdown, but people used this occasion to be closer to their significant other, and Lydia didn't have anyone.

    She couldn't wait to be eighteen and had whoever she want.

    Meanwhile, Kira and Julia were discussing like two responsable adults, while waiting for their boyfriend to return from the front.

     

    Derek and Scott returned with Chris Argent.

    "It's finished?" Allison asked.

    Her father nodded sorely and they shared a hug while having a thought for their lost family. The crazy members of the Argent family passed but they promised they will create a new branch of their lineage, less messed up.

    "I'm feeling better now Gerard Argent's gone." 

    Now Deucalion got his revenge, he didn't even care how he was presenting himself. Bloody hand.

    "What did you to his corpse?" 

    "Nothing. I just give him his own medicine."

    "What you gouge out his eyes?" 

    "Not like he would have a use again." 

    Yeah, but that was petty from an old entity like him. No one said anything though, not even the Argent who let it pass. Maybe, Gérard deverved it. 

     

    "OK, now, the threat's gone, we're going on the road, again!"

    Erica tended to voice her thought always louder than need. But most of the time, she did it to have attention. As Boyd would tell whoever want to know.

    And the news saddened Derek and Cora. The first may not be alpha anymore, he still wanted to make amend to his former beta. With Isaac, it was more easy as they first part finely, but Erica hold a lot of grudge to him, because he has lured her to take the bite. Like, sure she got all the super power and ended her epilepsia (something she was jealous of Scott), but he emotionally manipulated her when she was at her lowest, and how could you do that to an underage teenager?

    I mean, he was abused by a woman when he was a teenager, OK, but was it reasonable to do that kind of thing to someone else?

    Erica would never forgive him, even if he turn a new leaf, she could not. Boyd supported her, because she's his best friend, the person the closest to him while he firstly didn't even trust Derek's decision, but he was also the reason he knew Erica, so he will try to lessen her hate, so they could at least be cordial and not start a fight everytime they're talking.

    "You're sure, you don't want to stay?" Theo said. " I mean, you could join my Scott McCall defense squad. To do so, you had to fill one of the following conditions : be a Scott McCall fan, be orphaned, be a supernatural creature, be a minority."

    He designated the four members of the squad.

    "Like Tracy got them all : Scott stan, accidentally orphaned, werewolf-kanima chimera and part native american. Hayden and Josh are both latino, got lycanthropia or is part werewolf and sort of orphan. Then, you have Corey, sort of Scott stan, sort of orphan, supernatural and gay."

    Something in this speech didn't seem right.

    "Well, as much I could get for Boyd, who's a Scott admirer, sort of orphan after he ran away with me, a werewolf and black, I do not fill most of the condition. Scott's my best friend, sort of orphan after I ran away, werewolf but oh, totally blonde."

    "I did say 'one of the condition'. Besides, you're a bitch, so it's pratically the same."

    That was rude.

    "But true," Lydia snarked.

    She's only so mean because it was her birthday today. Like for Allison, she made a very private party only for the supernatural group and some VIP. One more than others, as Jordan Parrish made his entrance.

    "And Isaac did fill the conditions too. Scott stan, orphan, werewolf and a bitch too. You can enter in the squad being 'Bitch 2.0'."

    Isaac just send him a cold smile.

    "And you aren't?"

    "I'm the founder."

    Still, didn't make it right.

     

    The two omega werewolf stay till the first half of April.

    That's when Jackson Whittemore showed up.

    "Ow, we should have move on."

    "Why? You can't handle my awesomeness?"

    Kids these days.

    Ethan surely couldn't handle it. So while Lydia was hugging Jackson to welcome him back, Ethan skyped Danny urgently.

    "Hey..."

    "Jackson's hot!"

    Danny went silence a moment.

    "Yeah, but he's not my type."

    "How come?"

    "He's my friend before anything else. But you go ahead. I think he could give you what I can't."

    "You mean, you know?"

    Danny gave him a look.

    "Please, don't tell me because it's Beacon Hills."

    "No, it's because he's my best friend and I know him even if he's trying to be the tough guy."

    When the call ended, Ethan had to go to Lydia to make it sure. But as Lydia was engonced by her tirade about how Jackson didn't change that much and still pissing Derek off and blondie and usain bolt. He sort of got he could tempt his chance.

    "So, I was thinking, you're hot, I'm hot, why not hook up?"

    Jackson chuckled incredulously.

    "If you put it this way. But just to clarify, I'm hotter."

    But not more humble.

     

     

     

    Erica and Boyd declined to be in the Scott McCall defense squad and leave the town no long after, promising to pass one day, so they could all reunite again.

    Jackson returned to UK but not before he proposed a threesome to Allisaac that Allison let think she'll consider. Isaac was king of mind blown because last time he was in some closeness with Jackson was during the rave where he danced with Erica and Jackson (thanks god the former made a go before this proposition).

    Life at Beacon Hills wasn't always easy, there's still a primal pack that no one's aware except miss Morell who had to keep the balance, Deucalion's out somewhere on the outskirt of the town usually always helpful when they went to seek him for help or information (only Hayden and Malia, as they did feel a bond with the old alpha) and Satomi Pack are really friendly to them (Scott spending the time with the wise woman and learning a lot about buddhist werewolf, and Tracy being closer with Brett). But the all the seniors will eventually graduate and leave town.

    Scott will go to the dream USDavis with Kira just as close and he will return to Beacon Hills or another town in the Beacon County and be a vetenarian and still have this father-son relationship he got with Deaton, his male model. Allison and Isaac would go to the community college but will eventually settle opening a club about archery and other activity. Lydia set her eyes on Stanford and would return the holiday for her beloved Jordan, still the helpful deputy and nailed every mathematic formula. Theo and Malia would also go to the community college but Theo would eventually transfer to UCLA and got some medicine degree, the Doctors may have ruined his childhood, science was still his favorite course. Tracy would join him at UCLA majoring for law and minoring in native american history. They will all return to Beacon Hills during holidays and breaks just to spend the time with the group and the Hales.

    No, not a group. They're may be a bunch of omega, they're pack.

    They're The Omega Pack.
