Derek speeds down the road towards his house as he listens to the new werewolf in the passenger seat groan in pain as her werewolf features slowly appear. He knows how painful the transition can be, especially when you are scared or it is your first full moon. What he didn't know was why he felt the urge to protect this girl he hardly knew.
Lily takes deep breaths as she holds her head in her hands. To Derek it looks like she's trying to gain control, with this new observation in mind Derek digs into his pocket and pulls out a large-looking coin - about the size of his palm - holding it out towards the young wolf. "Take this" He begins talking to gain the girls' attention, "Hold it in your hand and focus on it, it can help you gain control".
Slowly, but painfully Lily took the medallion from Derek trusting the older werewolf's knowledge. "Now focus on that and keep repeating 'Alpha, Beta, Omega', each time you repeat the mantra you will become more in control" Derek explains to the girl as she stares at the medallion in uncertainty, "How?" Lily breaths out keeping her eyes on the object as she traces her fingers over each twist and curve of the symbol. "It's a powerful supernatural talisman" Derek admits keeping his eyes on the road and listening to Lily quietly repeating the mantra to herself trying to gain back control. Whether or not the talisman was actually helping her was something he could not yet decipher himself.

Stiles rushes upstairs towards Scotts' room where he can hear Scott panicking, hastily he knocks on the door hoping his best friend is still human and not a hungry oversized dog. "Go away" Scott groans as he looks at his reflection in the mirror, "Scott, it's me" Stiles assures through the closed door.
Scott slightly opens the door allowing Stiles to talk to him through the small space but not allowing him access into the room or to see him. "Let me in, Scott, I can help" Stiles tries to reason with the werewolf, "No! Listen, you gotta find Allison." Scott says between heavy breaths. "She's fine, alright. I gave her a ride from the party. She's- She's totally fine." Stiles rushes his words.
"No, I think I know who it is" Scott shouts from behind the small opening, "Just let me in" Stiles insists once more, "We can try-" Stiles tries to make an offer before getting cut off "It's Derek! Derek Hale is the werewolf." Scott blurts out, "He's the one that bit me and Lily. He's the one that killed the girl in the woods."
Stiles stands frozen for a second before he looks up at the door as if he can see Scott through it. He can feel his heartbeating wildly in his chest as it starts to race, "Scott...Derek's the one who drove Lily from the party" he says in realization. He didn't understand why Lily wanted to be by Derek, she asked for Derek specifically. Stiles stands still processing the new information before deciding to research if werewolves could control each other somehow - that was the only logical reason he could come up with in his head.
Just as Stiles goes to speak of his concerns for their new group member Scott slams the door shut, locking it before his human friend can try to get inside and convince him not to freak out and run after Derek and his new friend without a plan.

At the Hale house, Lily is sitting in the living room on an old beat-up couch focusing all her attention on the medallion in her hands as Derek sits across from her analyzing her heartbeat and breathing patterns. Derek needed to make sure Scott didn't get caught by the new resident hunters but he refused to leave Lily alone without having some sort of control over herself.
