Teen Wolf: Alpha Reborn

Noah woke up in his room the next day feeling stronger than ever. His injuries were completely healed, and his body was filled with newfound energy. Before he could fully process the changes, he heard Stiles sleep-talking. His son was slumped in a chair beside the bed, in an awkward position, mumbling nonsense and trying to kiss the empty air. 

Noah shook his head with a smile. "Stiles, wake up. You're going to be late for school." 

Stiles jolted awake, flailing as he fell from the chair. He quickly scrambled to his feet. "What? I wasn't doing anything! Wait… where am I? And where's Malia?" 

Noah cleared his throat, amused. 

Stiles finally noticed him and remembered that he was in his dad's room. After they got back from the hospital yesterday, he had wanted to make sure his dad was okay after getting the bite, so he stayed next to his bed. "Dad, how are you feeling? Are your injuries healed?" 

Noah stretched his arms and nodded. "I feel great. My body is full of energy, my vision and hearing are sharper than ever, and all my injuries are completely gone." 

Stiles grinned. "That's good to hear! Just wait until your first full moon. And when you become an Alpha, you'll be even stronger." 

Noah smirked. "I'm looking forward to it. But for now, go get ready for school before you're late." 

Stiles held up a finger. "Wait, before that, show me your claws." 

With some guidance, Noah tried to extend his claws. After a few attempts, he succeeded. Stiles examined them, noticing they were long, curved, and unlike anything he had seen before. 

"Huh… these aren't wolf claws. They don't look like Lydia's or Victoria's either." 

Noah inspected them and nodded. "These are bear claws, son." 

Stiles' eyes widened. "Wait… does that mean you're a werebear?! I wasn't expecting that, but honestly? That's kinda awesome!" 

--- 

A month later, Scott and the pack witnessed Noah's first full moon. He shifted into a massive brown bear, the size of a polar bear. 

Time passed quickly. Scott and his pack didn't encounter any new supernatural threats, and before they knew it, sophomore year had come to an end. 

During the first month of summer break, the pack helped Scott and Melissa manage the ranch. Eventually, Malia, Allison, and her parents left for France to spend their vacation there. Scott gave Melissa and Lydia some money for a month-long vacation, and when they returned, he did the same for Isaac, Erica, and Boyd. Meanwhile, Scott and Stiles traveled to France, where they met up with Allison and Malia. The four of them spent three weeks exploring Europe before returning to Beacon Hills. 

--- 

Now, Scott, Melissa, and Allison were at the ranch. 

Melissa sighed. "Well, after working so hard on this ranch since we bought it, I think it's safe to say… this business isn't worth it. We only made sixty thousand dollars in six months, and for all that effort? I don't think it's worth continuing." 

Scott chuckled. "It was a good adventure, though. So, what are you going to do now?" 

Melissa leaned against the fence, thinking. "Don't get me wrong, I love having the animals around. But as a business? It's not sustainable. I'll keep a few cows and sheep for milk and meat, but I'm selling the rest." 

Scott nodded. "As long as you're happy. As for making money, I think we should invest in real estate and stocks instead." 

Melissa raised an eyebrow. "Just be careful and don't lose everything on bad deals." 

Scott smirked. "Don't worry, Mom. I'm not stupid. By the way, did anything happen while I was in Europe?"

Melissa's expression grew serious. "I heard from Deaton that Derek has been looking for you. And Noah told me the animals in Beacon Hills are acting strangely. Lydia and I went with Deaton to the woods and found a lot of dead animals. Deaton believes they killed themselves intentionally." 

Allison frowned. "How can he be so sure they killed themselves?" 

Melissa sighed. "That part was easy. We found twelve deer dead after jumping off a cliff. Noah also heard from a farmer that his entire herd of pigs went insane one night and started killing each other. And one evening, Lydia and I were sitting on the porch of the lake house when we felt someone watching us from the woods. But when we turned our heads, whoever it was disappeared before we could see them. Before we could investigate, the animals on the ranch suddenly started screaming and going wild. Luckily, I roared at them, and they stopped. Though… they were scared of me for a few days afterward." 

Allison asked. "But why would animals kill themselves?"

Melissa shrugged. "I don't know. Deaton said that sometimes animals kill themselves when they're scared or stressed. And he mentioned that some species of social insects will commit suicide as an act of altruism. These insects sacrifice themselves if the colony is in danger, to alert others. Deaton thinks the behavior we're seeing in the animals might be nature's way of warning us about something."

Scott looked thoughtful. "And what do you think, Mom?"

Melissa said. "I think they're terrified. That night when the animals at the ranch went crazy, all I could feel from them was pure terror. And whoever was watching me and Lydia that night, it was evil."

Allison frowned. "Why do you say that?"

Melissa explained. "When Lydia and I realized someone was watching us, we felt disgust, followed by an overwhelming urge to kill. It was just like with Cassandra."

"Did you feel any danger?" Scott asked.

Melissa shook her head. "No."

Scott thought to himself. 'It must be Jennifer and the Alpha Pack that's come to Beacon Hills.' He said aloud. "I'll tell the pack. We should take care of this before things escalate."

Allison asked. "Isn't there something in the supernatural books about animals killing themselves?"

Melissa nodded. "There is, but all it says is that fear is the most likely cause."

Scott said. "Don't worry about it for now. We'll find whoever is responsible soon enough and deal with them. Right now, I'm going to see what Derek wants."

Allison said. "I'm coming with you."

---

As they drove to Derek's loft, Allison sighed. "Looks like we're dealing with another crazy monster again."

Scott smiled. "Don't act like you didn't miss fighting supernatural creatures."

She smiled back. "I won't lie, I missed it. But not the part where innocent people die."

Scott nodded. "I hate that part too. But this is our world now, and we'll save as many people as we can."

Allison agreed. "Yes."

---

When they arrived at Derek's loft, Derek let them in, and they found Peter there as well. 

Scott sat down with Allison and asked. "My mom said you were looking for me?"

Derek nodded. "Yeah, I need your help."

"With what?"

Derek explained. "Josh and Jackson have been missing for two months now. I was hoping you could help me find them."

"What about the girl from your pack?" Scott asked. "Where's she?"

"She left Beacon Hills with her parents." Derek replied.

Allison frowned. "How do you know Josh and Jackson are missing and didn't just leave town?"

Derek sighed. "They disappeared without telling anyone, not even their parents. Their families have been searching for them for two months, but no one's heard from them or seen them."

Scott already knew the Alpha Pack had kidnapped them but didn't say anything. Instead, he asked. "Do you have any clues?"

Peter, who had been silent until now, spoke up. "We think a new pack in town kidnapped them."

Scott pretended to be surprised. "A new pack?"

Derek nodded. "Yes, a pack of Alphas. Their leader is Deucalion."

Scott raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you mean the Demon Wolf? Wasn't he friends with your mother? Why would he attack your pack?"

Derek said bitterly. "I'm guessing he wants me to join his pack."

"I see." Scott said. Then he smirked. "Do you know how many are in his pack?"

Derek hesitated, confused by Scott's reaction. "Aside from Deucalion, I know of two others, Ennis and Kali. I don't know if he has more."

Allison looked at Scott and said. "Only three? But we need four Alphas."

Scott chuckled. "I bet they have more than just three."

Allison asked eagerly. "Should we hunt them tonight?"

Scott shook his head. "No. First, we'll catch one of them, read their memories, and help Derek find his lost 'puppies.' Then, we'll deal with Deucalion and his pack, maybe have a little fun with them first."

Peter interjected. "You're underestimating Deucalion and his pack too much."

Scott's eyes flashed crimson as he turned to Peter. "Do you think he can beat me, Peter?"

Peter paled, realizing his mistake. "No, of course not, Scott. I just meant you should be careful. He's strong, that's all."

Scott ignored him and turned back to Derek. "Do you know where they are?"

Derek shook his head. "No. I haven't seen them yet. But I found their symbol on my door, here and at the old house in the woods."

Scott stood up and said. "Well, when you find one of them, let me know. For now, we need to go, school starts tomorrow, and we still haven't bought our supplies."

Allison stood up with a smile and said. "I forgot about that. Oh, and can we shop for some clothes too, please?"

Scott sighed and said. "How about you call Lydia and the rest of the girls to go shopping with you? I'll pay, just spare me, please."

Allison pouted. "No, I want to go with you alone. It's much more fun when we're together."

Scott groaned. "But you never like anything, and you try on everything in the store only to end up choosing the first thing you tried!"

Allison crossed her arms and sulked. "Fine. If you don't want to go, I'll just shop with the girls another time."

Scott saw her expression and realized she was upset. With a sigh, he gave in. "Alright, we'll go shopping. Just promise me you'll be quick."

Allison's face lit up as she hugged his arm. "Thank you! And since you agreed, I'll let you pick an outfit for me. I'll wear it tonight, and maybe... Wild Allison can make an appearance again."

Peter coughed in the background, and Allison blushed before quickly running to the door. 

Scott glared at Peter, who was smirking. "You should get that cough checked out, Peter. It might be deadly."

With that, Scott followed Allison out of the loft.

Derek looked at Peter and said. "Did you really have to ruin their moment? Are you trying to get yourself beaten up?"

Peter panicked. "Damn it. I always forget he's a monster."
