I woke up the next morning to the smell of food and I walked into the kitchen in only my sports bra and a pair of basketball shorts to see Emily, Angela, Claire, Ashley, Brittany, Nicole, Karen and Leah cooking breakfast while Billy, Sam, Jake, Quill, Seth, Brady, Collin, Jared, Theo and Paul all sat in the living room watching TV. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and I heard gasps and Theo said, "Maddy, your tattoos are visible."

I smirked and looked down at all my tattoos. I asked, "Have I ever explained the tattoos to you?"

He shook his head 'no' and I looked down at them and pointed at the one on my right forearm and said, "This one represents Scott and Stiles. Scott of course is Captain America and Stiles is Bucky."



Then I looked at my other tattoos and pointed at my right shoulder before saying, "Celtic five fold knot. Well one design of it. There's so many different things you can use to represent with each knot. What we use are: Philosophers, Guardians, Healers, Virgins and Warriors. All of them were 3 sacrifices. Which caused Stiles to become Void and us to find out what Lydia really is."



Then I pointed at my left bicep and said, "Scott's arm band tattoos. It was a brother and sister thing we wanted to get together. So we did. It was awesome and Stiles fainted. It was funny."



Then I pointed at my stomach and took a deep breath and said, "I got this when I was still with Derek and we were together for 3 years at the time. That's what happens when you're young, dumb and you think he's the one. He has the same symbol on his back right between his shoulder blades. Without the wolf."



I looked at my left forearm and took a deep breath. Then I said softly, "This last one is out of respect and remembrance of my best friend and Scott's ex girlfriend and first love Allison, who died way too young. She created a code for our group of friends and it's French. It says 'nous protégeons ceux qui ne peuvent pas se protéger eux-mêmes' which translates to 'We protect those who cannot protect themselves'. That was the only tattoo I cried in, but not because of pain, but because of all the memories I got while getting it."



I smiled softly as I got a small flashback of Allison smiling.



I felt a tear run down my cheek and then Theo hugged me before I wiped away my tears and said, "Anyways, she wouldn't want me to be sad and focus on her death. She'd want me to be happy and focus on the good things in life."

Sam said, "Glad to know you're not scared of needles. We need to get you to our tattoo artist and he needs to put the pack tattoo on you."

I looked at him and then I said, "Nah."

Everyone looked at me shocked except Theo who sighed before I said, "I'll get the tattoo, but I'm going alone. Also just because you all have it on your shoulder doesn't mean I'm getting it on my shoulder. I hope you know that."

He growled and grabbed my arm and said, "You will get it wherever the hell I say to get it. You are not the Alpha at the moment. I am and until then, you will treat me as such."

I closed my eyes and clenched my hands into fists tight. I felt my eyes starting to glow and my claws come out causing me to clench my fists tighter causing blood to drip down. I felt my canines come out and Theo yelled, "FIND YOUR ANCHOR!"

I focused and thought of Mom, Dad, Scott and Stiles and the pack back in Beacon Hills and felt my claws slowly go away. I jerked my arm away from Sam and Theo handed me my phone. I heard it ringing and then I heard a voice say, "McCall resident?"

Me: *sighs* Hey Dad.

Dad: Maddy?

Me: Yeah. It's me. I'm sorry I'm just calling. It's been crazy here.

Dad: Let me go get your mom. MELISSA! MADDY IS ON THE PHONE!

Mom: Mads?

Me: *whimpers softly and voice cracks* Hey Mama.

Mom: Mads, baby girl, what's wrong?

Me: It's just so hard to not hear your voice everyday. *sniffles* Anyways remember the thing that happens when I get really angry? Not the part with me changing into a giant wolf, but the other part that happened before the giant wolf part.

Mom: Yes. Wait... you have both sides?

Me: Yes. I don't know how, but I do and I legit almost beat the crap out of the stand in Alpha at the moment. He just UGH! He keeps trying to tell me what to do and you know how I am with that.

Mom: Yeah. You broke Scott's nose a couple times. I thought you were gonna kill Derek when he did it after he .... yeah.

Me: After he cheated on me? Yeah.

Mom: Have you talked to Derek since the break up?

Me: No. Not unless it's during one of the meetings.

Mom: You should talk to him. He misses you. He even broke up with Braeden because he wanted another shot with you.

Me: Mom, things right now are... *takes a deep breath and sighs* Complicated when it comes to the whole relationship thing. I don't even know if I can have a relationship with another guy at the moment.

Mom: Just give Derek a chance to explain why he did what he did. Trust me. Once you hear why he did what he did, then you might change your mind on giving him another chance.

Me: Mom, it's not really up to me. It's beyond my control. I just... *sits down on Theo's lap and looks at my tattoo that matches Scott's* Is there any way that Scott and Stiles can go ahead and come up here a week early? I need my brothers with me.

Mom: You know that Stiles isn't really your little brother right?

Me: He is in everything except blood. Turns out so is Scott. Speaking of, it turns out that I do have a little brother named Jacob and I have two older sisters named Rebecca and Rachel.

Mom: That's cool. What are they like?

Me: Jacob seems cool. He likes comic books like Stiles, Scott and me and I don't know about the other two. Jacob's girlfriend is very pretty too. Her name is Angela. Oh and guess what.

Mom: What?

Me: Jacob has the gene too. He's a wolf with me too. So I have something else in common with him. Isn't that cool?

Mom: Yeah. I have to go now before I'm late to work.

Me: Hey Mom?

Mom: Yeah Mads?

Me: Go be a superhero.

Mom: I will sweetheart. I love you sweetheart.

Me: I love you too. Let me talk to Dad.

Dad: Hey Maddykins.

Me: Hey Dad. So how's work?

Dad: It's work, so you know, it's boring and there's a lot of paper work.

Me: So it's so much fun.

Dad: It's the most fun you can ever have.

Me: But Scott and Stiles keeps you on your toes.

Dad: True.

Me: I miss all of you.

Dad: We all miss you too. How is it being a wolf?

Me: *sighs* I haven't been a wolf again yet besides that one time when we figured out I had the wolf gene. It's funny. I'm trying so hard not to flip and lose control on the other side, I'm not even focusing on the giant wolf I turn into.

Dad: Wow. I'll do some research to see if we can find out if there's anything about keeping both sides. Ask the elders. Isn't Billy an elder?

Me: Yeah, but I don't really know him that well yet. Although there's a lot going on right now.

Dad: I'm sorry. Well I'll talk to the other parents about the group coming up there early. This way you can have your family up there to surround you and help calm you down. Maybe that's what's wrong. You don't have, but one other there and they easily accepted the change and you aren't as accepting to the change.

Me: Of course I'm not. Sam thinks that just because we're in the same pack and that he's the Alpha at the moment, then he can tell me what I can and can't do.

Dad: Well just take deep breaths and think about your anchor. I'll call you back and let you know what they say later. I love you.

Me: I love you too, Dad.

Then we hung up and Sam stood up before he yelled angrily, "HOW DARE YOU TELL THEM ABOUT THE PACK AND ABOUT JACOB BEING IN THE PACK?!"

I looked at Sam and then I stood up and said, "Without them, Paul and Leah both would be without their imprints. They knew about the pack and the wolf gene before I did. They also knew about Billy being my father. So therefore, you should be thanking them. Not yelling at me. Also my mom isn't going to tell anyone. She is the best at keeping secrets and my Dad is an FBI agent."

Sam yelled, "NO YOUR FATHER IS SITTING RIGHT THERE!"

I looked at him and yelled back, "NO! THAT'S THE MAN WHO GAVE ME UP FOR ADOPTION BUT KEPT HIS OTHER 3 CHILDREN! MY FATHER IS FBI AGENT RAFEL MCCALL! HE'S THE ONE WHO RAISED ME! HE'S THE ONE WHO WAS THERE FOR MY FIRST STEPS AND MY FIRST WORDS AND WHEN I LEARNED TO DRIVE TO THE FIRST TIME AND WHEN I GOT MY HEART BROKEN FOR THE FIRST TIME! I'M SORRY, BUT BILLY BLACK WILL HAVE TO EARN HIS PLACE AS MY FATHER! RIGHT NOW HE'S JUST MY SPERM DONOR UNTIL I GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER!"

Sam slapped me and that was all it took. I growled and Theo said, "Sam, go outside. Now."
     Sam refused to move and Theo yelled, "ALL THE WOLVES OUTSIDE! NOW!"
      Sam, Jared, Jacob, Quill, Embry, Seth, Leah, Brady, Collin and Paul ran outside. I threw Theo out the backdoor hitting Jared in the chest. Theo stood up and said, "Well... Good luck Sam."
     Sam was about to say something until I football tackled him and punched him in the face. We started fist fighting and Theo yelled, "LICK HIS ASS MADS!"
     Sam and I stopped and looked at Theo. Theo smirked and said, "I said what I said. Deal with it."
       I said, "New rule. Nobody tells me what to do or I rip their throats out. With my teeth."
      Then Emily yelled, "LUNCH IS READY!"
      I said, "One more thing."
      I punched Sam in the face knocking him out and then I did the same to Theo. Then I walked inside.
