Teen Wolf: Alpha Reborn

The next morning, Allison woke up to find herself hugging Victoria. She blinked, adjusting to the sunlight streaming through the window, and looked at her mother. Victoria was already awake, smiling softly at her. 

"Good morning, sweetheart." Victoria said, brushing a strand of hair from Allison's face. "I can't remember the last time you slept hugging me like this. Probably when you were five or six, back when you used to get scared at night." 

Allison smiled, warmth blooming in her chest. "Well, I don't mind hugging you to sleep from time to time, Mom. And we should hang out more." 

Victoria raised an eyebrow, her fingers gently combing through Allison's hair. "Hang out more?" 

"Yeah." Allison said with a grin. "Like going shopping, doing girl stuff together." 

Victoria chuckled, her smile widening. "I see. I wouldn't mind that. And I want you to know, Allison, even though I may be tough on you sometimes, I love you more than anything in this world." 

"I know." Allison replied, her voice soft yet teasing. "That's why I dared to hand you a gun yesterday and dared you to shoot me." 

Victoria narrowed her eyes playfully, pinching Allison's cheek. "That was bold of you, young lady. I think you need some punishment for that." 

Before Allison could react, Victoria started tickling her. Allison burst into laughter, squirming and begging her mother to stop. 

After a few moments of playful chaos, they finally settled down, both smiling and catching their breath. 

"All right, sweetheart." Victoria said, standing up. "I need to take a shower. I sweated a lot last night." 

"That's because your body was changing." Allison explained. "How do you feel right now, Mom?" 

Victoria paused, considering her answer. "I hate to admit it, but I feel incredible. I can hear your father cooking breakfast downstairs, smell everything in the kitchen, and my body feels stronger than ever." 

Allison beamed. "That's great! And this is only the beginning. Wait until you go through your first full moon and become a true shapeshifter. You'll be far stronger than you are now." 

Victoria's expression turned cautious. "Are you sure I won't lose control during the full moon? Or if I get angry?" 

"You won't, Mom." Allison assured her. "You'll have complete control, even during the full moon. And there's so much more you need to learn about our abilities. I'll tell you everything over breakfast with Dad." 

Victoria nodded. "All right. But first, I need that shower." 

As she moved toward the bathroom, she paused, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Before Allison could escape, Victoria scooped her up and slung her over her shoulder like she weighed nothing. 

"Mom! Put me down!" Allison protested, laughing and squirming. "I'm not going into the bathroom with you! You and Dad did... that in there yesterday!" 

Victoria rolled her eyes. "I cleaned it, don't worry. Now, let's see how much my little girl has grown." 

Despite her protests, Allison couldn't stop laughing as Victoria carried her to the bathroom. 

--- 

After their shower, the two women came downstairs to find Chris already at the table, breakfast spread out and ready. 

Chris looked up, a smile breaking across his face. "You two had a lot of fun this morning, huh? I missed this. I missed hearing laughter in the house. I missed you, sweetheart." 

Allison walked over and hugged her dad tightly. "I missed you too, Dad." 

Chris then turned to Victoria, pulling her into a warm embrace and kissing her gently. "You have no idea how glad I am that I didn't lose you yesterday." 

"Me too, Chris." Victoria said softly. "Me too." 

The three sat down to eat, the aroma of pancakes, eggs, and bacon filling the air. 

As they dug in, Chris glanced at Allison and said. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I think I like that punk Scott. Just a little, though." 

Allison smirked. "I don't know why you ever hated him, Dad. I couldn't ask for a better partner. He's perfect." 

Chris groaned. "Forget I said anything. I still hate him. Do you know how awkward it was when I called his dad, only to find out they haven't spoken in years?" 

Allison burst out laughing. "Who told you to ask for Melissa's number? Scott's super protective of his mom!" 

Victoria tilted her head curiously. "Melissa? Is that her name? I think we need to meet her. Maybe have dinner together." 

"You're going to love her, Mom." Allison said, still grinning. "She's so much fun. And by the way, she's an Alpha werewolf, the one you saw at the old Hale house." 

Chris asked. "The huge gray wolf that saved you when Peter wanted to attack you?" 

Allison nodded. "Yep, that was her." 

Victoria looked thoughtful. "So, can everyone in Scott's pack... I mean, our pack. Can all of you turn into wolves? And have huge wolf forms like him and his mother?" 

"Yes." Allison said. "After our first full moon, we can shift into wolves the size of tigers. When we become Alphas, we grow even bigger. The stronger we get, the larger our wolf forms become. Scott says that's just how it works. You should see how huge Scott's wolf form is now." 

Chris leaned back in his chair. "Bigger than when I saw him at the school?" 

"Much bigger." Allison said, her smile proud.

Victoria raised an eyebrow. "He can get stronger? Is that one of his abilities?"

"Yes, not just his." Allison explained. "Everyone in our pack has that ability. We can absorb other creatures' strength and abilities through our claws."

Victoria leaned back thoughtfully. "As a hunter, I would have considered that ability a nightmare. But now, as one of you, I think it's incredible. So, the ability to teleport through shadows, Scott absorbed that from another creature?"

Allison nodded again. "Yes, he got it from the Vrykolakas."

Victoria's curiosity grew. "I see. And when you say we're immune to other werewolves weaknesses, what exactly does that include?"

"Wolfsbane, poison, mountain ash, and mental control." Allison said. "Oh, and we can talk to each other telepathically."

"Telepathically?" Victoria tilted her head. "How does that work?"

"You'll have to wait until your first full moon." Allison teased. "Oh, I almost forgot, show me your claws, Mom. Let's see if you're a wolf like me or something else. Just focus, and they'll come out."

Victoria concentrated, and her claws extended. They were yellowish and almost translucent. 

Allison gently took her mother's hand, examining the claws closely and comparing them to her own. "Mom, these aren't wolf claws. And they're not like Lydia's, either."

Chris leaned in. "What's Lydia?"

"She's a banshee." Allison explained. "But she's not a normal banshee. She has black wings, black talons, and we think she'll eventually be able to turn into a crow when she becomes an Alpha."

Chris studied Victoria's claws. "You know what kind of claws these are, don't you, Victoria?"

Victoria nodded slowly. "They're cat claws, but what kind of cat, I'm not sure."

"Cool!" Allison grinned. "So, you'll be like a werelioness or a weretiger or something!"

Victoria chuckled nervously. "I just hope it's nothing too weird."

Suddenly, the front door opened, and Gerard entered the house. His sharp gaze landed on Victoria, and his expression twisted into a mix of fury and disgust. "Victoria." He sneered. "I thought you, of all people, would do the honorable thing as a hunter."

He then turned to Chris. "And you, you're no better. If you can't end her, I will. Kate already brought shame to this family, and I won't let our reputation be tarnished any further."

Without hesitation, Gerard drew his gun and aimed it at Victoria. Before he could pull the trigger, Allison's eyes glowed red, and in a blur of speed, she appeared in front of him. She grabbed his hand tightly, forcing him to drop the gun as he screamed in pain.

Gerard's eyes widened in terror as he looked into Allison's glowing eyes. "You… monster. You're one of them."

Allison's voice was cold. "Yes, I'm a monster. And now I'll show you just how much of a monster I can be." 

With that, she punched him in the face, knocking out several teeth. "You dared to try to kill my mother?" She growled. "Let me show you what happens to monsters like you." 

She hit him again, this time in the stomach, and followed it up with several more strikes before grabbing his arm. "Is this the arm you wanted to use to shoot my mother?" She growled. "Let me fix that for you."

With a sharp snap, she broke his arm.

"Allison, that's enough!" Chris shouted.

Allison glanced back at her father. "No, Dad, it's not enough. Letting someone like Gerard live will only bring more trouble. Let me kill him."

Chris shook his head firmly. "Sweetheart, let him go. Just this once. If he ever comes near us again, it'll be his end."

Allison hesitated, her eyes narrowing at Gerard. Finally, she released him and stepped back toward her mother.

Chris stepped forward, glaring at Gerard. "Get up, and don't come near my family again. Saving your life today is the last thing I'll ever do for you as your son."

Gerard struggled to his feet, clutching his broken arm. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but the low growl emanating from Allison stopped him. Swallowing his words, he turned and stumbled toward the door.

At the threshold, Chris called after him. "Here's some advice, Gerard, leave Beacon Hills. Run as far and as fast as you can. Victoria is part of Scott's pack now, and you just tried to kill her. I don't need to tell you what Scott will do to you, and I won't save you from him. Goodbye, Gerard."

Gerard froze for a moment before continuing to his car. With one hand, he started the engine and drove off without looking back.

After Gerard left, Chris walked back into the house, glancing at Allison, who was still visibly angry. He asked. "Allison, what was that? You said you don't lose control." 

Allison, crossing her arms, replied. "Who said I lost control? I knew exactly what I was doing. I wanted to kill him, Dad. He tried to kill Mom." 

Chris sighed, unsure of what to say. 

Victoria smiled warmly at her daughter. "Thank you, sweetheart, for protecting me. But, I can protect myself, and remember, now I have powers like yours." 

Allison softened a little and nodded. "I know, Mom. I just hate that monster." 

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Scott had arrived. 

Allison opened the door, greeted him with a kiss, and stepped aside. Scott, sensing her emotions, asked. "What's wrong? I can feel your anger." 

"I'll tell you on the way to school." Allison said. "Come in and wait for me to change. Did you bring my bag with you?" 

"Yes." Scott replied, walking in while Allison headed upstairs. 

Scott greeted Victoria and Chris with a grin. "Good morning, lovebirds." 

Victoria chuckled. "Good morning, Scott." 

Chris, however, merely snorted, saying nothing. 

Scott shrugged, and turned to Victoria. "How are you feeling?" 

"Great, actually." Victoria said, smiling. "And thank you. I don't think I said that yesterday." 

"No need to thank me." Scott replied with a reassuring smile. 

A few minutes later, Allison returned, ready for school. She waved goodbye to her parents as she left with Scott. On their way, she recounted what had happened with Gerard and told him about Victoria's claws. 

Scott's expression darkened. "Don't worry about Gerard. The next time I see him, I'll kill him." 

---

After leaving the Argent house, Gerard went straight to the hospital to have his broken arm set in a cast. Once that was done, he gathered six of his hunters and set out to attack Derek. 

They armed themselves heavily and made their way to Derek's lair in the heart of the Beacon Hills warehouse district. On their way, one of the hunters secretly sent a message to Chris, warning him about Gerard's plan. 

Chris received the message while at home and immediately got into his car with Victoria, driving to intercept Gerard. 

When Gerard and his hunters arrived at Derek's lair, they found him alone. Without hesitation, they attacked. Gerard stayed back, letting the hunters face Derek first. 

Derek fought valiantly, taking down all six hunters, but he was wounded in the process, shot several times and nearly exhausted. Just as he was catching his breath, Gerard struck, shooting him with a wolfsbane-laced bullet. 

"Finally." Gerard sneered, approaching Derek with a twisted grin. "I've got you." 

Then, he shocked Derek with a taser wand, causing him to collapse further. 

Gerard pulled out a syringe filled with a pale, ominous liquid.

"This." He said, holding the syringe up for Derek to see. "Is kanima venom. I collected it from the dead hunters yesterday. It'll paralyze you completely."

Without hesitation, Gerard stabbed the syringe into Derek's arm, injecting the venom.

Moments later, the venom took effect. Derek's body stiffened as he became fully paralyzed, unable to move but still locked in his werewolf form. 

Gerard pried Derek's mouth open with his one good hand. Smirking, he shoved his leg into Derek's mouth and jabbed the taser wand into the side of his jaw. The electric jolt forced Derek's jaw muscles to contract, causing him to clamp down on Gerard's calf. 

Gerard yanked his leg free, ignoring the pain, and burst into maniacal laughter. 

"Now." Gerard hissed, his voice dripping with malice. "I'll keep you locked up until I can take your Alpha spark. Once I have it, I'll kill that bitch Victoria and her precious daughter. Then, I'll hunt down Scott and his pack. I'll kill them all! HAHAHA!" 

As Gerard's laughter echoed through the warehouse, a gunshot rang out. He screamed in pain as a bullet struck his shoulder. Spinning around, he spotted Chris and Victoria standing at the entrance, Chris holding a smoking gun. 

"Chris." Gerard hissed through gritted teeth, clutching his shoulder. "How dare you shoot your own father?" 

Chris stepped forward, his face cold. "You're not my father anymore. You're a monster." 

Realizing he was outmatched, Gerard fumbled for a flash grenade, pulling the pin and tossing it at Chris and Victoria. The room was consumed by a blinding light. 

By the time Chris and Victoria's vision cleared, Gerard was gone. 

Victoria turned to Chris. "Should we follow him?" 

Chris shook his head. "No. Let him go. I promise, this is the last time." 

Victoria frowned, her eyes narrowing. "You heard what he said. He wants to kill Allison. If I see him again, I'll kill him, Chris, and I'll tell Scott exactly what he said." 

Chris nodded. "I won't stop you." 

Turning back to Derek, Chris knelt beside him. "You don't look too good, Derek." 

Derek, lying on the ground, paralyzed and breathing heavily, glared at Chris but said nothing. 

Chris sighed. "Don't worry. You told Allison what happened yesterday, and she stopped Victoria from... doing something terrible. I'll repay the favor. How can I help?" 

With great difficulty, Derek rasped. "Gerard... shot me with... a wolfsbane bullet. Take me to Deaton. You know him, right?" 

Chris nodded. "Yeah, I do." 

Meanwhile, Victoria checked on the downed hunters. "Chris, they're alive, but some are seriously hurt." 

Chris stood. "Alright, I'll take care of them. You take Derek to Deaton." 

Victoria nodded. "Got it." 

She helped Derek into her car and drove straight to Deaton's animal clinic.
