Lies of Omission part 2

"Almost there," Stiles mumbled to himself as he let his back settle further into car seat. Then he detected a small grinding noise coming from his jeep's engine and he tightened his grip on the steering wheel some. "C'mon Roscoe, hang in there a little longer buddy," Stiles prayed off.

His jeep's condition was starting to get on its last legs. He was sure that getting flipped over by Parrish back at the animal clinic didn't help. More and more, Stiles' nose picked up a stronger smell of burnt glue and plastic as he drove. The tape on his engine was burning through and as much as Stiles tried to replace it, it seemed the engine only burned through it more, and faster. Not only that, his jeep was taking longer to start up every time. While he was doing his best to try to hold it together, he knew it was only a matter of time before it burnt out completely.

But the concerned thoughts on his car left him when his phone started ringing. He reached for it and saw that it was Scott. Stiles just sighed and made it go to voicemail. His depressed face immediately went to an annoyed one as he cancelled and silenced his phone. It hadn't been too long since he left the school and he could only guess that the pack's newest beta didn't waste any time running to Scott and tell him that Stiles wasn't coming.

"You're not the alpha, I am. The true alpha," Stiles screeched out, bitterly repeating what Scott had said to him last night. "What's with him?"

Lately, Stiles had been growing more aggravated with Scott. He went and hurt Corey, a chimera who actually seemed to need their help and who Mason convinced to try and help them, just because he became impatient and claimed he had no choice. Yet, everything Kira did to try and protect and save them, probably because some part of her felt there was no choice, and Scott makes her feel the need to leave. Satomi and her pack go out of their way to try and help them, putting themselves in danger, and Scott brushes what they're going through off to the side, like they're useless. Now Scott goes and criticizes his plan for dealing with the Dread Doctors when he doesn't have one of his own. They've killed so many innocent people already and it doesn't look like they're planning to slow down. Scott just wants to stop them, from what they've seen in their encounters with them, it looked like the only way the stop the Dread Doctors was to kill them. Otherwise, they will kill Corey, Hayden, Zach, and who knows how many more people through either them or their chimeras. Scott doesn't seem to know what he's doing anymore, and yet he goes and pulls the Alpha card at him...like a snob. Probably doesn't help that he now seems to have his own personal bootlicker.

Which brought his train of thought to Theo. Ever since he first got here, he's been saying that he came here looking for a pack. Now that Scott's taken him on, he starts trying to suck up to him? And Scott wasn't the only one in the pack he's been cozying up to. The image of Malia rushing to hug him, or how tightly and affectionately he hugged back, not to mention that look Theo threw over to the window at him, Stiles couldn't control the small growl that erupted from his throat. He then brought his vision down to his steering wheel and saw that his claws were out on his left hand, his more...bestial claws. Stiles went and heaved a deep, hard breath out. He had to remain calm. The last thing he needed was to shift while he was driving. With the new Supermoon only one day away it was important to put more effort to keep himself in check than he was used to. There would be time to let his aggression and issues out later, he was sure.

Not too long, Stiles found himself pulling up to Devenford Prep. He had to admit, this private school seemed pretty fancy. As he walked down the hall with Satomi and her beta Trey, he thought they were more fancy than the ones at Beacon Hills High with their marble looking floors and decorative moldings.

"Nice place," he said letting his eyes wander. "But, are you sure it's okay for us to just come in like this?"

Satomi let a small chuckle loose. "Don't worry. If anyone asks, I'll claim to have come to make a surprise inspection."
