Soulmate Of A True Alpha
Scene 72

We enter the school. Scott’s on the floor, a large wound ripping through his torso and the beast on top of him.

Me: Hey!

I shout loud enough for it to turn around and roar. I summon my Katana and run towards it. The beast rushes towards me in a murderous rage, grabs me with its big hands and propels me to the other end of the library. I fall face first to the floor, screaming. Everything goes blurry and I fall asleep despite myself.

Later on

Me: Ouch!

I wake up to a rather unsympathetic slap from Allison.

Allison: Sorry. Scott’s gone off in the direction of the beast! You’ve got to go and help him!

I stand up, grunting in pain. I must have hurt myself when I fell and it still hasn’t healed. I run towards the car park and quickly find Scott, behind a car with Masson and Liam. Scott is holding a pair of bloody shoes. That would be… No..

Me: Whose are they?

Masson: They’re mine. What’s going on?

No please.. not Masson.. I look at Scott who is as lost as I am. Corey appears behind Masson, grabs him and disappears with him.

Scott, Liam and I: NO!

I feel a pain in my stomach that bends me in two. I lift my shirt slightly to see a huge scratch covered in my own b***d. Why can’t I heal? What’s happening to me? And Masson? What about him?

Everything around me started to move and I fainted for the second time.

The next day

I wake up, my eyes in a haze, but I recognise my room. It was all a… dream? I stand up but let out a cry of pain at the same time. I lift my top to see a huge bandage on my stomach with b***d stains. It was all true. Masson is the beast. I see Stiles asleep on the armchair next to my bed, waking up slowly and immediately coming over to me.

Stiles: How are you feeling?

Me: My tummy hurts… why can’t I heal?

Stiles: Because of the beast’s DNA. Since it contains gold particles, you can’t use your powers to heal it. Looks like you’ll have to live like a human for a while, sweetie.

Me: Sweetie?

Stiles: Yeah, no, I’ve tried a cheesy nickname but let’s just forget about it, shall we?

I smile in spite of myself

Me: Okay. Come on, then.

He climbs into bed with me and I snuggle into his arms and k**s him. However, I think of Masson again and get up quickly, but g***n and go back to sleep because of the pain.

Me: Masson? What are we going to do?

Stiles: You, nothing. You can’t even stand up. Scott and the others have been looking for them all night without success. Corey’s learned his power well now that he’s resurrected.

Stiles told me that Theo brought the chimeras back to life so he could finally have a pack. Corey ran off and Hayden, who’s now dating Liam, joined us.

Me: So what do we do?

My phone vibrates on my bedside table. I quickly look at it

[Theo: Come with your pack to the changing rooms. We’ve got a deal for you].

I show the message to Stiles.

Stiles: Let’s go!

To the school, to the locker room

Me: Do you think we’re stupid or do you really think we’re gonna mess with you, Reaken?

Theo: We want the same thing. To find Masson

Scott: Except we want him alive!

Theo: Fine. Just don’t be surprised if you don’t make it.

I look up and the three of us leave the changing room

Me: Did you feel it? Was it there?

Scott: Yeah. I can’t believe Deucalion teamed up with him.

Me: This man only wants power. Nothing more. Let’s go to class now.

We’re sitting in our English class and my phone buzzes. I look discreetly

[Deucalion: What you say is hurtful, dear Hannah. But your plan is working perfectly. Bravo] [Me: Thank you very much]

I then go into the conversation with Scott

[Scott: Doesn’t Theo suspect anything? ] [Me: Impossible. Do everything you can to make your enemy think he’s two steps ahead of you but three steps ahead of him. It’s from Dad. ]
