Bite the Bullet: to endure a painful or otherwise unpleasant situation that is seen as unavoidable
After two months of coping the death of their friends (Erica, Boyd, Aiden, and Olivia), the rest of the pack not only are faced with new thre...
I quickly look out the window to make sure there weren't any hunters yet and thankfully none had arrived.
I look over to everyone and see they were occupying themselves while they waited. Braeden was loading her gun, Kira was fiddling with the sword in her hand, Allison was sharpening her ring daggers, and Scott was in the middle of a conversation with Derek.
I walked over to Scott and Derek and I rub my hands together. "Nobody here so far." I spoke and Scott gave a small nod. I look behind Derek to see Satomi's pack and saw that they were talking among themselves. "Should we be worried?"
"They'll be okay." Scott tried to assure but Derek turned as well before glancing back to us.
"They've got claws and fangs, but they're not fighters." Derek coldly stated and started to walk towards Braeden.

"That why I called you." Scott added as we followed behind Derek.
"Well, try to remember I don't have claws and fangs anymore either." He pointed out.
"That's why he called me." Braeden spoke up as her, Allison, and Kira joined us.
"You know Derek, ever since we met, I've never seen you be positive about one thing." I remark as I gestured behind me. "For god's sake, I'd be surprised if you gave a motivational speech."
"Am I the only one still hoping this is all just a false alarm?" Kira worriedly asked. "I mean, it's possible we could wait here all night and nothing happens, right?"
"Well..." I trail off but Allison elbowed my hip for me to stay quiet.
"Have you guys heard anything from Stiles or Lydia yet?" Braeden questioned.
"I texted Lydia not too long ago and she said she's still talking to Meredith." Allison responded.
"Stiles and Malia are headed to the lake house. They're trying to stop it." Scott explained.
"What is there is no stopping it?" We all turn to see Brett with a curious look. "What if it doesn't end until we're all dead?"
"Then let's send a message. Let's make tonight perfectly clear to anyone with a copy of that list." Derek tried to explain, causing everyone to turn to him. "It doesn't matter if they're professional assassins, hunters, or an amateur who just picked up a gun." He lifted up his gun to show us. "Anyone who thinks they can hunt and kill us for money is gonna be put on another list. Our list. They get to be a name on our deadpool."
