His Witch, Her Wolf - Book 3

~Frayed Part 2~

3rd POV

As Scott stood up and walked down the aisle to stop Boyd, he thought about the conversation he had with his sister after they finished talking about the plan for Deucalion.

"I don't know what else to do. Do I keep trying to get them to listen to me? Do I tell Derek that he's gonna get them all killed? How do you save someone who doesn't want to be saved? How do I stop them?" Scott asked his sister.

Leila thought about what she should say before smiling, "Don't stop them. Lead them."

Scott looked at hesitantly, "Do you think I can?"

"I know you can. I've always known you could. You always try to find a different way to solve a problem, a better way" Leila told him as she grabbed his hand, "I believe in you, Scotty. And I always will."

With his sister's words running in his head, he held down Boyd's hand to stop him from attacking Ethan in front of everyone. Scott sat down on the seat next to them.

Boyd gritted his teeth as he demanded, "Let go." 

"You got a plan. Tell me your brilliant plan, and I'll let go" Scott told him, "What are you gonna do? Kill him, right here? And then what? What are you gonna do after that?"

"I don't care" Boyd told him and was about to jump out of his seat but was held down by Scott and Isaac.

"I do" Scott told him before Isaac noticed his shirt, "Whoa, whoa, you're still hurt." Boyd and Isaac looked at him in concern.

"I'm fine" Scott told Isaac before looking at Boyd, "Give me a chance to figure something out, something that doesn't have to end with... with someone else dying."

When he said that, the two other betas could hear the pain and despair in his voice when he talked about Leila. Boyd thought about it before agreeing, "Okay."

Scott sighed in relief before slowly getting up and going back to his seat.

"Crisis averted?" Stiles asked and Scott nodded as Stiles moved to let Scott sit back down.

"Okay, good. 'Cause we got another problem" Stiles told him.

"Ethan keeps checking his phone, like, every five minutes. It's like he's waiting for something, you know, like, a message or a signal of some kind. I don't know, something evil though, I can tell. I have a perceptive eye for evil, but you know that" Stiles added.

"I don't like him sitting with Danny" Scott said as he watched the pair.

"Yeah, neither do I" Stiles said before pulling out his phone, "I'm gonna see what he's waiting for."

"What are you doing?" Scott asked as he watched Stiles text someone.

"I'm gonna ask" Stiles answered before sending the text.

After he sent it, Danny's phone pinged. He grabbed it and saw a text from Stiles that read, "Find out why Ethan keeps checking his phone."

Danny looked back at him as Stiles smiled, but Danny shook his head and mouthed 'No' before turning forward and putting his phone away.

Stiles angrily sent Danny another text. "Just do it!" Stiles texted. Danny shook his head and texted back "No."

Stiles angrily texted him, "ASK HIM."

Danny looked at him and shook his head before texting, "NO. I like this guy. What's wrong with you?"

Stiles texted back, "It's important. PLEASE."

Danny looked at the text before putting his phone back in his pocket. Stiles got angry and sent him another text but Danny ignored it. After that, he sent another, and another, and another.
