The Serpent Wolf - A Riverdale x Teen Wolf crossover AU

14.

I walk into Betty's house, and I see Alice sitting at the kitchen table reading a book.

"Hi, Alice." I say, heading for the stairs.

"Logan? Come here." Alice says, I reluctantly walk over and sit down at the table.

"Betty said you'd ran off?" Alice asks.

"I... I did. But I'm fine." I lie.

"Your mother could never lie to me, don't start thinking you can." Alice tells me, I laugh a sec.

"I can't believe you were my mom's best friend." I say.

"I ruined it, though. Your mother was the most beautiful soul." Alice says.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"After I left the southside, I disowned everyone on the southside, and since your mom was a serpent... I made the biggest mistake of my life and abandoned my best friend." She sighs.

"She would've forgiven you." I say softly.

"I know she would've, she was the kindest heart." Alice tells me.

"I miss her. I went through more than I let on after they died." I say.

"Is that why you left Riverdale?" Alice asks.

"You knew?" I ask.

"Yeah, I did. Betty came home one day and said Archie and his southside friend, who was of course Jughead were upset about a friend running away. I talked to Fred about it, and he told me it was Emma's daughter." Alice says.

"Yeah, it has a lot to do with why I left." I sigh.

"Wounds heal, Logan. Yours will too." Alice says.

"Alice, my friends all lied to me about something, and I don't know what to do about it." I sigh.

"I often ask myself 'what would Emma do?' Maybe you need to, too." Alice says.

"Thanks, Alice." I say.

"You're smart, Logan. You'll work it out." She says, touching my hand "Now go take a shower, you look like you've been rolling around in the woods."

I nod and walk up the stairs and go into the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror. I look so tired, and dirty. I change to my wolf eyes and again am startled by the beaming red eyes staring back at me, my stomach starts to churn again, I never wanted to kill anyone, even if they deserved it. That's the biggest reason I went looking for Scott's pack. 

I never wanted that image, I never wanted to end a life. But I don't know if it makes it better or worse that I can't remember doing it. I feel sick and empty, my head just feels like swirls of confusion and nothing, I guess this is why they didn't tell me. I don't even feel like myself. I feel wrong, I felt so safe and myself as a Beta but as an Alpha? I don't even feel like I'm in the right body, I guess this why I've felt odd since waking up.

I run myself a somewhat warm bath, set my phone on the sink and get in fully clothed, I don't know why. I wasn't wearing shoes when I left this morning, so my feet are filthy. I sit there in the bath just knees tucked to my chest, feeling the water soak into my clothes, I can't seem to process the fact that I killed another person. It was literally one of my worst fears since becoming a werewolf. 

Scott knew that and made everyone lie to me, but why? I was going to find out eventually? I think of my mom, and how horrified she'd be knowing her only child was now a murderer. Or my dad, as deep into the serpents as he was, as many people's bones as he broke he never killed anyone...
