Scott POV

Years ago

Jackson has just arrived in Beacon Hills. He seemed anxious. "Is there something I should know ?" I asked as the pack was having their own discussions around my living room. "Stiles is alive. He's with the Calex Pack." I dialled Derek & told him to come over. It was clear that I was pissed so no one cared to ask.

Derek growled once his eyes landed in Jackson. "Tell them what you told me."
Jackson's scanned everyine's face as he repeated. "Stiles is alive & he's with the Calex Pack." Derek's eyes flashed blue at the mention of the pack. "So why aren't you with him ? After all you left with him." I said cornering Jackson. He quickly adverted his blue eyes from my red ones. "He chose to stay. Ren Calex, the alpha, had gotten in his head."

Derek then growled once more. "How exactly did Ren get in his head ?" Jackson gulped before meeting eyes with Derek. "He offered him the bite, but, before he had Stiles, a human, go against one of his strongest betas. I tried to get him to see reason...he sent me away. Stiles said he'd kill me if I spoke any word of him being alive. You deserved to know..."

Derek & I eased up on Jackson. "He won't lay a hand on you. You're pack now." Derek said stifling a smile, but it was clear that the Calex Pack disturbed him. In fact, infuriated him.

We then carried on for weeks like we knew nothing. Jackson wasn't lying. I heard his heartbeat. We were all on edge. We didn't know when we would see him again.

Present Day

Derek's phone rang. I snapped my head up at the noise as he put it on speaker. The rest of the pack was asleep. They didn't want to miss seeing Stiles' return. "What do you want Ren ?" The Calex pack alpha chuckled deeply. "Well, dear old friend, some of my pack are coming to Beacon Hills. I'm hoping we won't compete this time around." Derek scoffed eyes flashing blue. "Who are you sending ?" Ren didn't speak for a minute or two before he made up his mind. "I'll be sending my beta Randy, my cousin Jace, & another one of my betas, Calvin. They'll most likely be there in two days or less." Ren said as the amusement seeped through his voice. Derek eventually said goodbye before just hanging up.

I watched as his leg bounced up & down. "Why do you hate Ren so much ?" I asked as Derek clenched his fists. "He is the most competitive bastard their is. More than Peter is...He always has to have the attention. Ren believes he's better than me, & it's simply because his pack wasn't as reserved as mine."

I chuckled. "You're competitive as well. Don't deny it, Derek." Then Derek said something which had made my blood run cold. "At least I'm not lying to myself. You love him Scott, & you are holding yourself back."

Soon enough we all headed to the loft. A good few hours passed beforr we all heard the engine of a camaro. I was the first outside seeing to betas. Wasn't Ren's cousin supposed to come with ? "I'm Randy & that's Calvin. We're betas from the Calex pack..." In the midst of his chatter the right passenger door of the red camero opened. Out came Stiles...

Jace POV

"What the hell are you staring at ?! It's impolite to keep your guests waiting..." I said hating how Scott's kept pouring over me. It wasn't uncomfortable for me. Being Ren's cousin comes with a lot of people looking. Derek let us in as I took a seat on his kitchen table. He was going to say something irritatingly before Scott stopped him. "So what did Ren send you here for....Stiles ?" Derek snarled out as Randy & Calvin stood at my sides prepared to do as I asked. I calmly answered the simplest of his questions. "We...well, I want land here. Ren's letting me expand the pack. It's Jace, by the way. But you knew that already..."

My eyes scanned over my old pack as their eyes scanned over me. Then my eyes landed in Jackson. "Didn't I tell you that if you spoke a single word I'd kill you ?" I snarled out baring my teeth. Jackson scoffed as they all rallied around him. "You won't kill him. He has a pack...do you want to lose your alpha so soon ?" Derek said clenching his fists so hard the claws were drawing blood.

By then I growled & ran outside. I was going to shift...
