We had a plan roughly mapped out but we couldn't do much without Peter making his move first so for now the plan was for me to attend the dance, I was going with Lydia in order to keep her safe, she had seen the Alpha and was acting weird for a while.
We hadn't expected for Peter to make his move at the dance, especially not by biting Lydia. I couldn't stop him, though he left when I used my freaky psychic powers on him. I called an ambulance and then Jackson, he went with her in the ambulance while he tossed me his keys to drive his porsche to the hospital.
My dad was there, he wasn't happy with what was going on but I think he sensed that it was more than it seemed and he didn't push me too hard about it. He did basically confirm that it was Kate Argent that burned down the Hale house, he didn't have a name but I suggested he look into her and he left to do just that. Jackson offered to drive to meet Scott and we were headed out but were quickly forced into an empty room by Chris Argent.
'Have you ever seen a wild dog Stiles?' He asked as he held me against a wall.
'No, and I suggest you let me go before I get angry.' I replied in a tight voice.
He scoffed and continued. 'I have and the only thing I can compare it to is seeing a friend of mine turn on a full moon. Do you know what happened? He tried to kill me and I was forced to put a bullet in his head. And the whole time he lay there dying he was still trying to claw his way to me, to kill me. Can you imagine that?' I focused on him and he let me go as a sharp pain filled his head.
'No I can't. Because not all werewolves are murderers. They just need to learn control. And clearly your friend already had severe issues considering he was running with the likes of you.' I responded.
'Did he try to kill you? Did you have to lock him up?' He taunted.
'Why? Would you have preferred me to lock him in the basement and burn the house down around him? Oh but wait that wasn't you guys. No.' I said as I approached him slowly. 'Because you have a code that no one ever breaks. Only they did. Your sister, your precious Kate, seduced a sixteen year old boy, locked his entire family in their basement, men, women, children both werewolves and humans. And she set fire to their house. She burned them alive, innocents.' I yelled the last word. 'Is that your code Chris?' I asked sarcastically before grabbing Jackson and hauling ass out of there.

Derek's P.O.V
Scott and I were at the Hale house when we were attacked by Kate and Alison. We ran to the house but they caught up with us, Kate told Alison that she had to kill us but then she couldn't.
'Guess I'll have to do it myself.' She said, training her gun on Scott after shooting me in the leg. 'I love those brown eyes.'
'Kate, I know what you did. Put the gun down Kate.' Chris called.
'I did what I was told.'
'No one told you to kill innocents. There were children in that house, humans. You are holding a gun to a sixteen year old boy, no proof that he has spilled human blood. This isn't the code. We hunt those who hunt us, Kate. Put the gun down.' He fired a warning shot into a tree. 'Before I put you down.' Kate let the gun drop before we heard the door to the house creak. 'Alison get behind me.'
They all turned towards the house, suddenly a united force. 'What is it?'
It was Scott who responded, sinking into a crouch with his eyes aglow. 'It's the alpha.'
Peter began to fight before dragging Kate into the house and slashing her throat in front of Alison. By this point I had dug the bullet out of my leg and it had healed enough for me to join Scott in fighting Peter.
We were getting thrown around the house by Peter. He was still human but he was so much stronger than us despite not being in his alpha form. Scott and I kept fighting though, knowing that we couldn't give up and that Peter had to be stopped. He threw me into a wall and I couldn't find the strength to get back up, so I lay there watching him and Scott trade blows until he transformed and threw Scott through the window. I heard a car pull up just as I managed to make my way to the door, leaning on the frame as I watched Stiles and Jackson jump out of a porsche and Stiles throw what looked like a chemical flask at Peter who caught it.
Scott called out, 'Alison!', throwing her bow towards her, she caught it, quickly setting up a shot and letting an arrow fly, breaking the flask in Peter's hand and causing him to catch fire. Jackson threw a second flask and he was engulfed in flames.
Peter stumbled backwards as the flames went out, leaving him human and with burns covering his whole body. I slowly made my way towards Peter, looking down from above him.
'Derek, no! You said that the only cure is to kill the one who bit me, you can't. Her family Derek, please.' Scott pleaded from behind me.
'You've already decided, I can smell it on you.' Peter managed to speak. I looked at Stiles, making sure he understood and wouldn't hate me for what I was about to do.
'Do what you need to do Sourwolf, I'm with you.' He assured. With a nod I turned back to Peter, flicking out my claws and slashing his throat. As he died I felt a rush of power filling my veins, the power of an alpha. I turned to face them, feeling my eyes burn red as I did so.
'I'm the Alpha now.' My voice sounded deeper than before.
'So hot.' We all looked at Stiles, and he shuffled awkwardly on his feet. 'What? Not the right time?'
