Chapter 74

It was a detailed plan. A very detailed plan. However I didn't especially like it. I felt it was too risky. I knew that it was important that we find the benefactor but this is a bit much.

I heard the ambulance pull up. "They're here." I told them. I kept listening for key points. The nurses and doctors where frantically working on Scott. They were trying to get him to breath again.

"I'm calling it. Time of death 2120 hours. Would someone please page Melissa McCall?" The doctor asked. I glanced at the group gathered in the morgue. "They pronounced him dead." I told them. "They're looking for Melissa." I stopped listening. I didn't need wolf hearing to know what was gonna happen next. "Hide." I told everyone. Everyone scattered. I slid under an examination table that was covered up just before the door opened. Scott was wheeled in and the doors closed soon after. We all came out of hiding and gathered around his body. I really hate this plan. Like really really hate this plan.

"No!" I heard Melissa scream. I flinched and closed my eyes. Just to hear it was agonizing. "No! What happened to my son?" She screamed. I knew the plan and I still believed Scott was dead. That woman should go into acting.

Melissa walked into the morgue trying to hold herself together and wiping away tears. "I still hate this plan." She said looking up from Scott. Yeah, you and me both.

Me, Kira, Liam, Stiles, Kira's mother and I stood around the table that Scott's body had been laid on.

"I mean this is pretty significantly terrifying. He looks dead." She said sounding like as was on the verge of tears. It was true. He was completely pale. There were no signs of breathing. But I could hear it. "Give me your hand." Noshiko said holding out her hand. She looked at Stiles for support. "It's okay." He said to her reassuringly. She put her hand in Noshiko's. She placed Melissa'a over Scott's heart. "Wait for it." She said. I listened. Four seconds passed until Scott's heart beated. She exhaled reasured.

"Is that enough to keep a werewolf alive?" She asked me. "Enough for an Alpha." Noshiko reassured her. Enough for me. I hadn't told them about my eyes yet. I had managed to keep them from glowing red when I turned but that wasn't going to work much longer. I could feel my power grow more and more by the day.

"How much time do we have?" Melissa asked anxiously. "Forty five minutes." Noshiko said. "What happens after that?" Melissa asked. "I bring him back the same way." Kira said. "No, I mean what happens if he stays like this longer than forty five minutes?" Melissa clarified. I looked up. "No one's told her?" Noshiko asked. I looked around alarmed. No one had told me. What happens after forty five minutes? "What? What happens after forty five minutes?" Melissa demanded. "He dies." Noshiko told her.
