When We Were Young: Part Two (Derek Hale)

Chapter 9

I stood in the shower for about thirty minutes now trying to figure out why I couldn't shift. I tried my claws, my eyes, anything. Nothing happened. I even thought about Kate, since she got me to change the first time but it didn't work. What the hell? I need to go talk to Deaton about this, maybe he will know what is going on with me. I quickly got out of the shower and fixed my brown long hair and applied minimal makeup just to even my skin tone. I changed into dark skinny jeans and a black shirt and went on my way to the clinic. As soon as I came I went as far as the mountain ash would let me. 

"Deaton!" I shouted. I saw him come rather quickly to see what was wrong. He looked at me with surprise. 

"Haley, come on in" He said and opened the gate. I walked in and turned to face him as soon as we were in the office. "What can I help you with?" 

"Yesterday, I-I tried to help Derek and Stiles I could have fought the lizard Kanima thing and when I tried to shift nothing happened! They almost died and the whole time I could have done something!" I shouted all in one breath.

"What do you mean?" He asked

"I mean I was face to face with it and nothing happened" I told him. "It was like I wasn't a werewolf."

"Well I can tell you for sure you are, after the last time we saw each other, I know that for a fact" He said simply.

"Well then why can't I shift, I've been trying for hours?" I asked.

"Look, you only ever experienced one full moon and even then you were trapped in your own body because of the wolves bane. And you only ever truly shifted once, my advice is to give it some time, you can't learn control after one shift, wait until the next full moon" Deaton said.

"So, there is nothing wrong with me?" I asked.

"Not that I know of, your situation is different from anything I have ever seen. Born werewolves usually shift the full moon after they hit puberty. So obviously it took a while for you and I don't know why" Deaton explained.

"You got any guesses, because I don't" I asked him.

"The only thing I can think of is alphas, after your family died, did you ever come into contact with any alpha?" he asked me.

"No, not that I know of only Laura but that was just a couple months ago, she died a week after she was here, then peter became the alpha-" I said

"Then Derek" Deaton finished and I nodded.

"It's starting to make sense, after your family died there could only be one other person to carry the werewolf gene...you. It never came to surface because nothing brought it up until the alphas brought it out. A werewolf is instinctively attracted to an alpha, so my guess it that is what brought it out, your proximity to Laura, Peter and Derek" Alan said.

"That actually kinda makes sense" I said with furrowed eyebrows. "I mean Derek was basically living with me at one point" 

"That's the best I got, sorry if I couldn't be anymore help" Deaton said.

"No, no, you've been great Deaton...I owe you" I said and walked out. So I just gotta give this crap some time. I can do that. 

Third person POV

"Lydia" Scott shouted standing from his chair. She had just consumed the Kanima's venom,l but the thing is...it didn't paralyze her. "Nothing" Scott said as he sat back down in his chair and watched as Lydia ate the rest of the crystal. Out the window Derek was seen with determination on his face. He was going to kill Lydia because she was the kanima. 

"Derek is outside, waiting for Lydia" Scott said as he, Allison, and Stiles walked into the janitors closet. 

"Waiting to kill her?" Allison asked.
