Scott's POV

Out of all the things to happen today, my entire pack abandoning me was not in the cards. Like, who gave them the right to walk out on me, isn't there a pack law somewhere that says they need permission to leave? It doesn't matter, if they don't have the respect to let me know they were leaving, then if and when a fight breaks out I won't be there to protect them, and I sure as hell won't give them any mercy if the fight is between Stiles' pack and me.

Derek's POV

I am amazed at Scott's audacity everyday. Every time I think it can't get any worse, it does. But, I can say that leaving the pack was the best decision of my life, I loved Stiles once upon a time, and when he was kicked out of the pack, it nearly broke me, and when I found out he was kidnapped I lost a piece of my soul. 

When I saw Stiles after he came back, I thought it was a sign that this was my chance to finally tell him about my feelings, but then he said his name was Thomas and he had no memory of anything before something called 'the maze' and his friends were the only people he trusted. With those short couple of sentences, my heart broke completely for the first time since Paige.

"I can't believe it took us that long to break away from Scott, and to think we didn't even realize how much he had brainwashed us, like for fuck's sake he made us think Stiles killed someone just because he could. Even Thomas wouldn't do that and he looks about a thousand times more deadly than Stiles could have ever tried to be." Aiden says with surprise 

"Yeah, Stiles never lied when trying to explain the situation with Donovan, no increased heart rate, no ticks, no unidentifiable chemo-signals, and even with all of that Scott was convinced Stiles killed him in cold blood." I say with disbelief 

"Look, with all the shit that's been going on lately we need to figure out were out allies are since Scott basically cut ties with all of them after Stiles went missing." Lydia says with a firm brow in place 

"There might not even be any allies that will take us back after what Scott has said to them when cutting ties, I mean between that and trying to get St-Thomas to remember us there isn't gonna be a lot of down time." I hear Malia put in

"We need to do this right, no spying, no going behind him or his families back, none of it. We are going to gain his trust and loyalty back the right way, not the way Scott said was ok" I say with determination

"There has to be a way to make peace with him without blowing  our cover" someone says in the background 

"There is no cover, the only thing we are trying to do is make peace and restore his memory, nothing about this will be sketchy do you all understand?" I say with a fierceness that I hadn't used since my brief time as an alpha 

"Um, Derek you might want to check a mirror, like, right now." I hear Kira say with some tremble in her voice

When I checked the mirror all I saw were the red eyes from my past staring back at me

"How could this have happened, I've been a beta for several years, and even after the alpha pack came to town and I had to kill several of them, I never gained their power" I exclaim with an odd expression

"It might be your inner wolf adapting to the need for a new alpha because we left Scott's pack" Lydia mentions

"She actually might have a point, because your wolf never needed to evolve to protect a pack it might have just kinda taken the backseat until it was needed" Malia confirms

"I mean that would make sense why I didn't gain any power when the alpha pack was in town, my wolf rejected the new status, and I kinda lost my wolf for a little bit after the berserkers!" I say with understanding 

Thomas' POV

As I began to feel my eyes droop I look at the clock and realize I had been researching for three days straight running on nothing but coffee and vending machine cuisine to fuel my body just enough to keep from shutting down. Then as I start my research again I hear the door open and low and behold it was Newt

"Tommy, you've been staring at that computer for several days now without a break, if you keep on you'll be so exhausted you won't be any help to the team, or me." He says the last part low enough that if my entire attention hadn't been on what he was saying I would have missed it.

"Newt, I have a question for you"

"Don't redirect, you need sleep" 

"Answer my questions and we'll see, how 'bout that, 'cause it's as good as you're gonna get"

"Fine, what is your bloody question?" He asks with a smirk

"Do you like me, in the sense that you would want us to be a couple, or am I misreading everything" I ask slightly nervous

"Wh-what, how in the bloody fuck did you know I liked you, I really don't understand why you feel the need to make a mockery of my feelings, if you didn't like me back you could have just said you didn't reciprocate. But, even after I've stood up  for you countless times in and after the maze y-"

I had gotten sick of him accusing me of making fun of the feelings I reciprocated-when we came to this stupid town and I sat and kissed him for hours-I decided to remind him of that, and grabbed his face with both hands and gave him a kiss I could only hope would tell him all  of my feelings

"I have liked you since I came up in that box and you introduced me to the rest of the gladers, I began to understand these feelings when you followed me through the scorch, I began to love you when I almost lost you, and I knew I loved you when we came to this hellish place and you remained by my side through all of the things going on with my dad and trying to find the remaining WICKED bases. So no, Newt, I'm not making a mockery of your feelings I'm trying to validate them and tell you I feel the same." I rush it all out as if I'm running out of air and when I have finished my speech all I can see are tears and the next thing I know I feel Newt's lips on mine for the third time, and they get better every time.

"I love you too ya wanker" Newt says with a laugh

As Newt and I revel in the new found romance we have we hear a loud boom from outside

"Ohhhhhh Thomas we've been looking for youuuuuu come out, come out where ever you are."
