Derek's eyes glowed red very briefly and he heard someone coming up the stairs and his alarm was beeping loudly. Derek advanced towards the door with his claws out as he yanked open the door and pulled the person into the loft.

Derek snarled at her and the teenager, she spun around and she roared back at him with glowing gold eyes and fangs, as she was snarling at him. "Victoria?" Derek asked as he was standing up and the teenager growled briefly at him, before her animal-like features were fading and she stood up. "Kid, what are you doing here?"

"Dad heard that you were building a pack. He was supposed to meet me in town, but he hasn't shown up yet, I'm assuming?" Victoria asked and Derek shook his head. "I left New York thinking that I would be meeting my dad here, but, I found my uncle so I guess that's better than nothing." She murmured.

"It's good to see you alive." Derek murmured and she nodded at the words, before he looked up and his eyes glowed.

"Relax, it's just me." Derek looked over his shoulder as, Casey walked into the loft. "Huh, you really weren't kidding about Victoria looking like Laura, were you." Casey remarked and Victory's eyes faded to hazel again. "You know who I am?"

"Casey Branson. You were friends with Mom, Dad and Uncle Derek in high school." Victoria said and Casey nodded. "You never left Beacon Hills, did you?" She asked and Casey shook her head. "Mom always would say that if you survived your burns from the fire, you should have quickly left Beacon Hills behind." Victoria admitted and Casey laughed.

"Every living Hale that I've run into since Derek got back to town, and it is sometimes after literally running into them, have been saying the exact same thing." Casey replied and her phone beeped and Derek looked at it. "Looks like it's where this started." Casey said and Derek nodded.

"I'll drive." Derek murmured and Casey held out her keys to him. They drove off in Casey's SUV and after a few minutes, they pulled up to the ruins of the Hale House and Casey's eyes were wide. "We're not going in."

"Still can't believe that you willingly lived here." Casey murmured as she got out of the car and Derek followed her as Victoria, she was already out of the car.

Victoria lunged at Peter and her fist crashed into his jaw and Peter looked at her, crunching his jaw back into place and Victoria snarled at him in a fury. "You killed Mom!" She roared as he chuckled.

"I thought that I recognized your scent from somewhere, Victoria, it's nice to see that you aren't dead yet." Peter remarked and Casey was shaking her head.

"Tori, just don't worry about him. We aren't here to kill Peter again although if Derek said I could, I wouldn't wait to do it." Casey said as Victoria looked at her.

There was another Beta werewolf standing with them and he looked at her with confusion in his gaze. "Who is this?" He asked.

"Victoria Hale-Douglas." Victoria held out her hand to him, for a handshake, with a raised eyebrow. "So, who the hell are you?" She asked.

"Isaac Lahey." He replied and he shook her hand warily and they all turned to the symbol written on the door of the Hale House.

"You haven't told him everything yet, have you?" Peter asked Derek as the alpha looked over at his uncle and Casey was looking at the two.

"What do you mean?" Isaac asked.

"Why do you think Derek was in such a hurry to build his pack? So eager to strengthen his power in his number. When there's a new Alpha, people take notice." Peter replied.
