"Hold on. Were they both in the car?" Stilinski asks as we investigate the disappearance of two doctors.

"No, dad, they're trying to tell you it's two different kidnappings. Two doctors. Both gone." Stiles explains.

"So who's car is this?" I ask them.

"Dr Hilyards. The on-call doctor. The ER attending is the one that never showed up." Melissa explains and I nod. I watch as Stilinski zooms out, I hear his heart rate increasing and all I can feel is his nervousness.

"Stilinski, we'll figure it out." I say, comforting him. "You finish up the details with Nurse McCall, I'll talk to them." He nods his head and I walk over to them.

"Thanks." Stiles mutters and I give him a smile.

"He's overwhelmed, I would be too if I had no idea what was going on." I tell him.

"These are definitely sacrifices, right?" Scott asks.

"Yeah, it's healers." I say.

"But what about Danny? He was throwing up mistletoe. That's not a coincidence. And if he hadn't been with Ethan, he probably would've died. How is Danny a healer?" Scott questions and we frown, stilinski's phone starts to ring and I listen in.

"Can you hear?" Stiles asks.

"They found a body." Scott and I say in unison.

"I've got to go, keep me updated." I tell them and walk over to Stilinski.

"No garrote this time?" Stilinski asks.

"No, which means what? Copycat?" The deputy says as Stilinski places it on speaker for me to hear.

"Or a change in M.O." I tell them.

"But the head and throat are the same?" Stilinski asks the deputy.

"Bashed and Slashed." The deputy confirms and hangs up the call.

"What do you need me to do?" I ask him.

"Keep an eye on Melissa." He tells me. "If they're going after people in the hospital, she could be a target."

"Okay." I agree, I go to my car and position it outside of Scott's house, just enough to hear the inside of the house. 4 hours pass and I get a text from Scott.

'Are you outside my house?' I sigh and type him a reply.

'Stilinski said I had to stake out in case they were targeting people at the hospital' I sent and stayed in my car. I listen as Isaac falls asleep on his watch and let out a little chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?" Peter asks, taking a seat in my passenger side.

"You scared the crap out of me." I say placing a hand on my heart. "What are you doing here?"

"That's all I get after a night of cuddling?" He asks, mock offended.

"I wouldn't really call it cuddling, more like 'accidentally moving in our sleep'." I scoff.

"So how are you adjusting to your new lifestyle?" He asks, changing the subject.

"It's not that bad." I reply. "But i think being an Alpha makes it easier to control."

"You're probably right." He sighs. "I would ask what you've been up to for the past 8 years, but i already know."

"Right." I nod my head, remembering about what happened in the woods.

"So..." He trails off. "A darach?"

"Yep." I respond, drowning in the awkwardness. "2 healers went missing tonight. That's why i'm outside Scott's house..."
