Ares's Pov

Class was a success. 

After I got Scott to calm down we managed to get through class without any problems. I made sure to be there for him as best as I can.

When class was over everyone started gathering their things and began leaving the classroom.

Allison shot Scott a small smile and nodded at him. Scott returned the gesture.

Scott and I walked out of the classroom and Stiles followed behind us.

"It's him" Stiles suddenly said, pointing at me.

Scott and I shared a glance before turning back to him.

"What?" Scott asked.

"It's Ares. Remember the night of the first lacrosse game? You said you could hear his voice out on the field" Stiles said.

"Yeah, I did" Scott nodded.

"That's what brought you back so you could score. Remember in the locker room? Ares ran after you and even though you told him to leave he stayed and helped you calm down. With his help you were able to calm down and not kill him, not like how you were trying to kill me" Stiles explained.

My eyebrows furrowed together and I saw realization washing in Scott's eyes.

"Yeah, that did happen too" Scott nodded.

"Babe, what are you saying?" I asked.

Stiles let out an exasperated sigh, throwing his head back a bit, before sliding over to stand at my other side.

"My love, you bring him back. Back in the classroom Scott was ready to burst at any moment until you stepped in and helped him calm down. His anger died down and he was calm, you calmed him down" Stiles explained.

The three of us stopped walking as Stiles looked over at Scott.

"Is that really possible?" I asked.

Scott nodded as Stiles let out a sigh and held my hands tightly.

"My love, you give Scott control. You're the one always helping him calm down and it works. I believe you're his anchor" Stiles explained.

Scott frowned, trying to wrap his head around everything, as he slowly started to realize what Stiles said.

"You mean because I love him?" Scott asked.

My eyes widened slightly and Stiles snapped his head in Scott's direction, a deadly glare settled on his face.

Scott blushed when he realized what he said and quickly corrected himself, trying to save himself from being murdered.

"Not like that! I didn't mean it like that! I mean I love him as a best friend. I love him like a brother, the same way I love you as a best friend and a brother" Scott explained.

Stiles pressed his lips together tightly and let out a small hum.

"Yeah. Like that" Stiles nodded.

He held eye contact with Scott and wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to his side.

I rolled my eyes fondly but leaned into him, smiling when I felt a kiss being placed to my head.

"Stiles, come on. I don't love Ares like that. I already know he's reserved for you" Scott said sighed.

"Damn right he is" Stiles nodded.

"Besides, I love Allison" Scott revealed.

My eyes widened and I choked on my own spit.

I looked at Scott in shock while Stiles simply sighed and shook his head, exasperated.

Scott's eyes slowly widened when he realized what he said but I didn't see a hint of regret of embarrassment shown in his eyes.

"Did I just say that?" Scott asked.

"Yes, you just said that" Stiles nodded.

I nodded, getting over my own shock as I offered my friend a small smile.

"I love her" Scott whispered, a smile slowly appearing on his face.

"That's great. Now, moving on-" Stiles started but our friend cut him off.

"No, no, no, really. I think I'm totally in love with her" Scott told him.

I watched in amusement and fondness when I saw a happy and childlike grin appearing on Scott's face.

He really does look like a puppy that just got rewarded with his favorite treat.

"And that's beautiful. Now, before you go off and write a sonnet, can we figure this out, please?" Stiles asked, annoyed.

"Yeah, Scotty, because you obviously can't be around her all the time" I reminded him.

Scott's eyes widened and he quickly snapped out of it and nodded his head.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. So what do I do?" Scott asked.

I shrugged while Stiles sighed and let go of my waist, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I don't know. Yet" Stiles said, clearly disappointed in himself for not having a plan.

Silence took over us.

The silence continued as Stiles walked around in circles.

I furrowed my eyebrows together when he stopped and his thinking face had made its appearance.

Scott noticed it too and he let out a sigh.

"Oh, no. You're getting an idea, aren't you?" Scott nervously asked.

"Yeah" Stiles nodded. 

"Is this idea gonna get me in trouble?" Scott asked.

"Maybe" Stiles nodded.

"Is this idea gonna cause me physical pain?" Scott asked.

"Yeah, definitely. Come on" Stiles nodded.

Scott shot me a worried look but I sighed and shrugged at him and dragged him by the arm as we followed my boyfriend.

I definitely can't talk Stiles out of the idea he came up with since, well, he's Stiles.

Stiles took us outside and we made our way to the parking lot. We followed him over to a black car.

"What are we doing?" Scott asked, confused.

"You'll see. Hold on, ok. Stand right there" Stiles told him. 

Scott sighed but did as told and stood where Stiles told him to stay.

"Do you have your keys?" Stiles asked. 

Scott and I looked at him in confusion before Scott nodded and took his keys out.

"Perfect" Stiles grinned, nodding his head.

He had Scott hold his keys up in a certain way and patted his shoulder. 

"Hold 'em up like so. Now, whatever happens, just think about Ares. Try to find his voice like you did at the game. Got it?" Stiles asked.

Scott looked at him in confusion but slowly nodded.

I frowned and looked at my boyfriend.

"Uh, babe, how is that going to work if I'm literally right here" I reminded him.

"Well I did need you to stay inside but I had you come out for a reason" Stiles said.

"Which is...?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

Stiles simply grinned at me before bringing me into a kiss. My eyes widened slightly before I slowly leaned into his touch and began kissing him back.

We continued kissing, pouring our emotions into the kiss like we always did, before parting ways.

My cheeks were red and I was flustered while Stiles was grinning widely, clearly happy.

"You really brought me out here for a kiss when we could've kissed inside?" I asked incredulously.

"Yep" Stiles grinned happily.

I fondly rolled my eyes at him with a small smile plastered on my face, causing my boyfriend to chuckle.

Stiles pecked my lips one last time before ushering me inside the building and I did as told.

He told me to just act normal and do what I normally would've done. 

And that was either call Emerson and just talk with her and see if anything interesting has happened or just try and find a friend to talk to at school.

Well if this is going to help Scott I might as well try and act normal.

Even though my life is anything but normal because of Scott getting bit by that werewolf.

Anyway, moving on from that...

I was just about to go to my locker when I heard my name being called. I turned around and smiled when I saw Lydia walking over to me.

I haven't had the chance to talk to her and see how she's doing.

"Hey you. I was just about to call you since I saw you leave with your boyfriend and best friend, but then I saw you walk back in" Lydia smiled.

"Yeah, Stiles and Scott are doing something and told me to give them some space" I told her.

"Oh, they aren't doing anything naughty are they?" Lydia smirked.

My eyes widened at that and I burst out laughing, causing her to burst out laughing too.

"No, no, nothing like that. Trust me. Scott is straight and Stiles is gay, they love each other but as best friends and brothers" I smiled.

"Noted. Anyways, my mom told me that you had come over to see how I was doing after what happened with Jackson at the movie store" Lydia said.

"Yeah, after what happened I just wanted to make sure you were alright" I nodded.

"Well, thanks for coming to check on me. I appreciate it. Although, I'm a little bit surprised" Lydia said.

"How so?" I asked, confused.

She knows we're friends and she knows that I care about her and her well being.

"Because my mom also told me that your boyfriend tagged along. Last time I checked, he hates my guts" Lydia said.

Oh.

Right.

"Yeah, well I kind of had to drag him since I made it clear I was going to see you and he wasn't going to stop me" I shrugged.

Lydia smiled slightly and nodded.

"Well, I have to get going but I'll see you tomorrow at school. Right?" she asked.

"Yeah, of course" I nodded.

Lydia smiled and gave me a quick hug before turning around and walking away.

I smiled before letting out a sigh, running my hands through my hair.

Why does she have to continue acting like a mean girl? Why does she pretend to be dumb when she's smart as hell?

I really want her to stop acting like someone she's not. I want her to stop hiding her true self.

Maybe then others, especially Stiles, will see how great she is.

Late At Night

I swear to god I'm dating an idiot and friends with another idiot too.

Stiles plan worked, in some ways, but him and Scott ended up getting detention because of it.

I told them I would wait but they told me that it was fine and that I should get home and that they would be out of detention soon.

I got home and focused on finishing my homework. When all of that was done I gathered some of my things and some clothes before leaving my house and headed over to Stiles's house.

I'm still a bit confused as to why Emerson, of all people, would wanna go to a club when she's told me many times that clubs aren't her thing and she'd rather sleep all day.

But, then again she is an adult and she's working two jobs to take care of her little brother, that's basically her responsibility.

She's allowed to have fun and I'm not going to stop her. Especially when she deserves it.

When Stiles came home from detention he told us that we had to leave to pick up Scott and then head to the school.

Apparently, Scotty has some sort of plan in mind.

After getting into his jeep and picking up Scott we were now on our way to the school.

And can I just say it's very late right now and I just hope we don't get into any trouble by breaking into school.

Finally, we arrived.

Stiles parked his jeep and the three of us got out.

"This is a terrible idea" my boyfriend told our best friend.

"Yeah, I know" Scott sighed. 

"But we're still gonna do it?" I asked in disbelief.

"Can either of you think of something better?" Scott asked, slightly annoyed.

"Well, personally I'm a fan of ignoring a problem until eventually it just goes away" Stiles told him.

"Just make sure we can get inside" Scott told us.

Stiles sighed before opening the trunk of his jeep in order to get out the bolt cutters that he brought in order for us to sneak into the school.

All of a sudden we hear another car approaching and we turn around.

"He's here" Scott told us.

Oh, did I forget to mention that Derek is apparently joining us? 

Stiles took out the bolt cutters and closed his trunk as we watched Derek stop his car before getting out.

Stiles wrapped an arm around my waist, keeping me close to his side, as the three of us walked over to Derek.

"Where's my boss?" Scott asked.

Apparently when Scott arrived to work Derek had already been there and he attacked Deaton.

"He's in the back" Derek replied, shutting the door.

The three of us walked over to the back and crouched down and we see Deaton unconscious with duct tape covering his mouth.

"Oh, well, he looks comfortable" I sarcastically smiled.

Stiles snorted in amusement while Derek sighed and rolled his eyes.

The three of us turned around and started making our way towards the school when Derek stopped us.

"Wait. Hey. What are you doing?" Derek asked. 

"You said I was linked with the Alpha. I'm gonna see if you're right" Scott said.

We were about to turn around and continue walking but Derek stopped us, again.

"That's not a good idea, you three won't be safe. Especially Ares" Derek sternly said.

"Why?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Because if the plan does work you and your annoying boyfriend will get hurt. Personally, I don't care what happens to him, but it's you I'm more worried about" Derek sternly said.

Stiles glared at him and scoffed while rolling his eyes while I frowned.

Why the hell does Derek care about my safety? Why does he care if I get hurt or not?

As far as I'm concerned, I don't know him the same way he doesn't know me.

"Listen, I appreciate the concern but I'll be fine. So just stay there and let us do what we came here to do" I told him.

Not wanting to waste anymore time the three of us turned around and began walking towards the school building.

We managed to get into the school easily and began walking down the hallway together, trying to find the room we need to be in.

Finally, we found the room we needed to be in, the office, and walked inside.

"Ok, one question. What are you gonna do if the Alpha doesn't show up?" Stiles asked.

"I don't know" Scott replied.

I furrowed my eyebrows at my best friend as Stiles and I walked behind the desk and began turning on a few things.

"And what are you gonna do if he does show up?" I asked.

"I don't know" Scott sighed.

"Good plan" Stiles sarcastically smiled.

I snorted but nodded in agreement while Scott let out a sigh.

"Alright. You said that a wolf howls to signal his position to the rest of the pack, right?" Scott asked.

"Right, but if you bring him here, does that make you part of his pack?" Stiles asked.

"I hope not" Scott shrugged.

"Yeah, me too" I muttered.

Stiles finished flipping a few things and pressed a few buttons before grabbing onto the microphone and setting it in front of Scott.

I patted Scott on the back and said "alright, all you" while sending him an encouraging smile.

Scott nodded and cleared his throat, he took a few deep breaths before turning on the microphone and opening his mouth.

I got ready to cover my ears, Stiles did the same, but we stopped when we heard Scott let out a loud grugled shrill of a howl.

The howl, or whatever sound Scott had made, rang throughout the school and I shook my head.

"Oh dear god" I muttered, turning to see Stiles throwing his head back in disbelief.

Scott stopped with his howling, or whatever he was trying to do, and looked over at us.

"Was that okay? I mean, that was a howl, right?" Scott asked.

I pressed my lips together as Stiles looked over at me and I looked over at him.

We were debating whether to tell Scott the truth and just let out sighs before turning back to our best friend.

"I...yeah, technically" Stiles shrugged sheepishly.

I shrugged when Scott looked over at me for a response since I didn't want to hurt his feelings or bring him down.

"Well, what did it sound like to you guys?" Scott asked, frowning in confusion.

Oh god, I really can't stop myself from telling him the truth.

"Like a cat being choked to death, Scotty" I sighed, shaking my head at him.

Scott's eyes widened at that and looked over at Stiles for confirmation and he nodded.

Scott groaned and threw his head back, clearly disappointed in himself.

"What do I do? How am I supposed to do this?" Scott asked.

Stiles saw the look on his face, he looked ready to give up, and quickly walked over to him and stood behind him.

He put his hands on his shoulders and rubbed them soothingly.

"Hey, hey. Listen to me. You're calling the Alpha. Alright? Be a man. Be a werewolf, not a teen wolf. Be a werewolf. Do it" Stiles told him.

Scott glanced at him before glancing over at me. I sent him a smile and a thumbs up for encouragement.

Scott took a few deep breaths and nodded. He slowly, very slowly, opened his mouth to howl once more.

Mine and Stiles's eyes widened when Scott let out a roar, a loud roar that rang throughout the school and shook the school too.

Scott stopped and slowly backed away from the microphone, his eyes meeting mine and Stiles's.

"How was that?" Scott asked hopefully.

"That, my dear Scotty, was a roar" I grinned excitedly.

Scott's eyes widened and he looked at Stiles and saw him grinning while nodding in agreement.

Scott grinned at that and nodded, clearly happy with himself, before gesturing for us to follow him so we could head back outside.

When we walked back outside we walked back over to Derek and, man, he certainly wasn't happy.

"I'm gonna kill both of you. What the hell was that? What are you trying to do, attract the entire state to the school?" Derek angrily asked.

I raised an eyebrow at him.

Why did he threaten to just kill both of them instead of me? Does he not realize I was apart of this too?

"Sorry. I didn't know it would be that loud" Scott shrugged.

"Yeah, it was loud. And it was awesome!" Stiles grinned.

I chuckled at him and leaned in to kiss his cheek, causing his grin to widen as he wrapped an arm around my waist.

"Shut up" Derek glared at him, his eyes going down to the arm around my waist and glaring at it too.

"Don't be such a sour wolf" Stiles scoffed, sending him a look.

"Sour wolf?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at my boyfriend.

"What? The name suits him" Stiles shrugged and I laughed softly.

I turned over to Derek and was about to say something when Scott put a hand over my chest, his eyes on something.

"What'd you do with him?" Scott asked, looking at Derek.

"What?" Derek asked, confused. 

He turned around to look at the backseat of his car and his eyes widened at what he was seeing.

Stiles and I glanced at each other before looking at the backseat ourselves.

Our eyes widened when we saw that Deaton was no longer in the car. It was empty.

"I didn't do anything" Derek told us, turning back around to look at us

All of a sudden his body jerked forward and our eyes widened and our jaws dropped when blood started to spurt from his mouth.

I gasped when Derek was lifted up from the ground and turned around, my face growing pale when I saw something dark and large behind him.

Scott and Stiles saw it too and their eyes widened more and screams escaped their mouths.

The monster that was holding Derek let out a loud roar, causing me to scream and stumble backwards and I almost fell if it wasn't for Stiles and Scott holding me.

They both held onto my arms tightly and began dragging me towards the school so we could be safe and away from the monster.

I looked back just in time to see the monster throwing Derek into a brick wall. Derek landed on the ground harshly and wasn't moving.

I yelped when I was pushed inside the school by my boyfriend and best friend. They both rushed inside themselves before quickly closing the door and gripping the handlebars in order to keep the door shut.

I sat up from the ground and shared a horrified look with my boyfriend and best friend, who both turned around and looked at me with the same horrified look.

What the hell are we supposed to do now...?
