INT. DEREK HALE'S LOFT - MORNING

The morning sun filters through the large windows of Derek Hale's loft, casting a warm glow over the spacious interior. BELLA enters the loft, determined to continue her training and hone her skills. As she steps inside, she is surprised to find PETER HALE already there, stretching and preparing for his workout.

PETER (raising an eyebrow) Well, look who decided to drop by. What brings you here, Bella?

BELLA (serious) I need to train. With everything that's happened, I can't afford to be unprepared.

PETER (smiling slyly) Derek's not here right now, but I suppose I can help you out. Think you can keep up?

BELLA (defiantly) Try me.

PETER chuckles and motions for her to join him. They begin with some basic warm-up exercises, their movements precise and controlled. As they move on to more advanced drills, PETER's playful demeanor shifts to a more serious one, recognizing BELLA's determination.

PETER (watching her form) You've got good instincts. Nat trained you well. But there's always room for improvement.

BELLA (nodding) That's why I'm here. Show me what I've been missing.

PETER and BELLA engage in a series of intense training exercises, their movements a blur of speed and precision. PETER pushes her to her limits, testing her strength and agility with each move.

PETER (grinning) Not bad, Bella. But let's see how you handle this.

He launches into a series of complex attacks, forcing BELLA to react quickly. She counters each move with skill and determination, her focus unwavering. As they spar, she begins to anticipate his moves, her training and natural talent shining through.

PETER (impressed) You're learning fast. Good. But remember, it's not just about physical strength. It's about strategy and knowing your enemy.

BELLA (breathless but determined) I know. And I'm ready for whatever comes next.

After an intense session, they take a break, both of them catching their breath. PETER looks at BELLA with newfound respect.

PETER (seriously) You've got potential, Bella. With more training, you'll be a force to be reckoned with.

BELLA (smiling) Thanks, Peter. I appreciate your help.

PETER (grinning) Anytime. Just remember, the key to surviving in this world is staying one step ahead of your enemies. And never let your guard down.

As they finish their training, the door to the loft opens, and DEREK enters, surprised to see them both.

DEREK (raising an eyebrow) Didn't expect to see you two here together.

PETER (smiling) Bella wanted to train. Figured I'd give her a hand.

DEREK (nodding) Good. She needs all the training she can get. And who better to learn from than the best?

BELLA (smiling) Thanks, Derek. I feel stronger already.

DEREK (seriously) Keep it up, Bella. We're going to need every bit of strength we can get.

BELLA nods, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. With DEREK, PETER, and the rest of the pack by her side, she's ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead.

EXT. BEACON HILLS - SIDEWALK - EVENING

The evening sky is painted with hues of orange and pink as BELLA walks home from DEREK's loft, feeling invigorated from her training session. The streets are quiet, with only the occasional sound of distant traffic. As she turns a corner, she spots LIAM walking towards her, clutching his wrist. His face is pale, and he looks to be in pain.

BELLA (concerned) Liam? What happened?

LIAM (struggling to speak) I... I don't know. Something bit me.

BELLA quickly closes the distance between them and gently takes his wrist, inspecting the wound. She recognizes the telltale signs of a wolf bite, the wound already starting to heal, but still fresh and bleeding.

BELLA (firmly) We need to get you to Derek. He can help.

LIAM (panicked) What's happening to me?

BELLA (reassuringly) You're going to be okay, Liam. But we need to hurry.

BELLA supports LIAM as they quickly make their way back to DEREK's loft, her mind racing with the implications of what this bite means for him. She knows the transformation process can be overwhelming and terrifying.

INT. DEREK HALE'S LOFT - NIGHT

DEREK and PETER are discussing training techniques when the door bursts open, and BELLA helps LIAM inside. DEREK immediately senses the urgency and moves to assist.

DEREK (serious) What happened?

BELLA (explaining quickly) Liam's been bitten. We need to help him.

DEREK's expression hardens as he examines LIAM's bite, recognizing it as a wolf bite. He exchanges a knowing look with PETER.

DEREK (to Liam) You need to stay calm. The bite is going to change you, but we're here to help.

LIAM (confused and scared) Change me? Into what?

PETER (smirking) Into a werewolf, kid. Welcome to the club.

BELLA (gently) Liam, listen to Derek. He knows what he's doing.

DEREK (nodding) The bite doesn't guarantee survival. But if you make it through, you'll have abilities you never thought possible. Strength, speed, heightened senses. But you need to stay calm and let your body adjust.

LIAM (whispering) I don't understand... why me?

DEREK (firmly) It doesn't matter why right now. What matters is that we help you through this. You're not alone.

As LIAM struggles to process the information, BELLA stays by his side, offering comfort and support. She remembers her journey of discovering new abilities and how important it was to have someone by her side.

BELLA (softly) We'll get through this together, Liam. I promise.

INT. DEREK HALE'S LOFT - LATER

The hours pass slowly as LIAM goes through the initial stages of his transformation. BELLA, DEREK, and PETER stay with him, guiding him through the pain and confusion. LIAM's breathing becomes more controlled, and he starts to calm down.

DEREK (softly) You're doing great, Liam. Just a little longer.

LIAM (exhausted) Thank you... all of you.

PETER (nodding) You'll get the hang of it. Just takes time.

BELLA (smiling) And you have us. We're here for you.

As the night progresses, LIAM begins to stabilize, his body adapting to the changes. BELLA feels a sense of relief, knowing that LIAM will make it through this transformation with the support of the pack.

DEREK (grateful) Thank you, Bella. You did the right thing bringing him here.

BELLA (modestly) I couldn't just leave him. He's one of us now.

DEREK (nodding) And we'll make sure he knows what that means.
