Teen Wolf: All Grown Up

13. Conflict

It was the end of the school day, after being asked by Danny to come and study with him I obliged. I didn't have any Argent duties to fulfil and he seemed kind. Little did I know creepy Matt was going to be with us.

I mean it could be worse, a homicidal shapeshifting reptile with paralytic toxin could be asking for help with his work.

The two was going through some camera video thing. I wasn't paying much attention. Again, I thinking things over. This time was about Stiles and Issac. I prefer Stiles, even if he is an idiot at times, he's kind and brave. Whereas Issac is more physically attractive but he is a werewolf. Big no.

Also, I question, how much of this is genuine? If anything. Like Erica mentioned, it was Derek who could sense the feelings between Stiles and I. Did Derek put Issac up to this to distract me? Was Erica's stunt with Scott to weaken Scott and Allison's bond?

Almost on cue, in came Issac and Erica. Issac's crystal blue eyes slashed to my metallic blue. I struggled to read his expression. I couldn't tell if it was staged or genuine. One thing I could tell was that he took seeing me as a surprise.

I turned back to my notepad. I ignored whatever they wanted to ask Danny about. Thinking I've had enough of them for the day.

It wasn't until I asked Danny what they wanted that my attention peaked.

Lydia. They were going to kill Lydia.

I had no idea where they were going.

Where would Lydia be? Protected. She must be with Allison or Scott. Whatever it was I need to move. Now.

Telling Danny I had to go, I got into my car and phoned Allison. Ring. Ring. Ring.

"Atticus thank god you...."

"Where are you and Lydia?" I interrupted not having time for pleasantries.

"Scott's house, how did you...." Allison replied before I cut her off again.

"Send me your location, Derek's pack are after her." Hanging up the call and following the address Allison sent to me.

A short while later, I arrive near the location. I grab my pair of battle axe and a wolfsbane smoke grenade.

I took the back door, attempting to be a bit stealthier. However, the door was already open.

I dashed through the door. There I saw Issac with Allison and Stiles on the floor. Both startled both threatened.

Out of reflex I pulled the wolfsbane grenade and directed its malice towards where Issac was standing.

His claws sharpened as he howled and moved away from both Stiles and Allison.

I picked up Allison and her crossbow.

"Go protect Lydia," I barked at Allison. "Now!"

Allison scurried off.

I looked at Stiles. The teen looked fine.

Turning my attention back to Issac, the smoke had stopped. He showed me his claws, as if I was meant to feel threatened. I could handle a beta easy.

Issac, just like expected in rage, had his wolf side take over. No longer could he know who I was. A ravage beast. One who's only purpose is to hunt. Right now, I may defend myself but not kill.

The code. Whilst others may be willing to break it, I am not.

Typical to the wolf's fighting style, the threat was mainly claws directed towards the upper chest or throat. Primarily to weaken foes quickly by targeting the area of vital organs or the main flow of oxygen. 

Due to my training, I dodged Issac's stereotypical attacks. They were almost textbook.

I laid a slash into Issac to slow him down, then dodging his next two hits. I was targeting the legs mainly to reduce his movement ability.

I was interrupted with Scott coming in and beating Issac's ass further and throwing him out the door. Shortly followed by Erica after she was dragged down the stairs.

Was about time Scott turned up honestly. I was making too much of a mess of Issac. His blood on the floor laying there. Laying there as dull as Issac was outside. Both him and Erica needing help standing.

How's that for some Argent talent for you?

We walk out together. Well Scott with Stiles and Allison with myself.

Derek looks baffled and annoyed looking at his betas on the floor helpless in front of him.

"I think I get why you keep refusing me Scott," Derek announces like a politician making some grand old speech. "You're not an omega. You're already an alpha of your own pack," He smirks. "But you know you can't beat me."

I huff at both his accusations. I would never let Scott be my superior and I could take Derek and his beta's like there were nothing.

"I can hold you off until the cops get here.

I was impressed. The distant sound of sirens alarmed.

Looking up after hearing a noise, we see the Kanima slither out of Scott's house. It hisses at us all for good measure. Piercing the air as it did so.

"Get them out of here," Derek orders Boyd referring to Issac and Erica both laying vulnerable on the ground as the Kanima runs off.

Our thoughts were all interrupted by the clicking of high heels abusing the pavement.

"Would someone please tell me what the hell is going on?"

And it was all pulled together with Scott's last comment.

"It's Jackson."
