It had been days and I hadn't heard from Derek at all. I was hurt by his distance. It seemed like we took a step forward and now we're back to square one. Stiles seemed to notice my upset feelings and was constantly bothering me to try and cheer me up. Which today had included listening to Scott get beat up and us getting detention. I don't know why I was surprised. When detention was over Scott decided to drag me to Deaton's to play with some of the animals while he worked. We were far from being on good terms, but he was trying at least. When we got to Deaton's Scott led me inside. I was shocked to hear Derek's voice.

"I want to know who you are or who you're protecting."

"What are you doing?"

"Scott, get out of here."

"Stop! Stop!"

I backed away from them until I hit a wall.I crossed my arms over myself and just listened.

"Look, when he's conscious he can keep himself from healing, but unconscious he can't."

"Are you out of your mind? What are you talking about?"

"You want to know what the spiral means, Scott? It's our sign for vendetta, for revenge. It means he won't stop killing until he's satisfied."

"You think he's the alpha?"

"We're about to find out."

It was silent for a minute.

"Hit him again, and then you'll see me get angry."

"Do you have a plan?"

"Just give me an hour."

"Then what?"

"Meet me at the school. In the parking lot."

I felt someone come over to me.

"Alice, can you go with Derek? Make sure he doesn't do anything to Deaton."

"And if he does? What would you have me do?"

"Talk to him."

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Wonderful idea Scott."

"Please."

"Fine, whatever. Lead the way."

He took my arm and led me outside.He placed my hand on the handle to the car door.

"Can you get in?"

"Yeah.Where are you going?"

"To get Stiles.I'll meet you at the school."

"Fine."

I heard him walk off so I got in Derek's car, not bothering to wait for him.A few minutes later I heard the back door open and something heavy placed down.I assumed it was Deaton. When Derek got in the car I could feel his eyes on my but chose to ignore him.

"You're mad at me."

I rolled my eyes.

"What makes you think that?"

"I'm sorry.After what happened, I just needed some time."

"That's fine. It would've been nice to have a heads up. The last time I heard from you was after we were shot at, and you became distant."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you or make you upset."

"I know. It's just, you're all I have right now. At least the only person that understands how terrified I am. I can't tell Lydia, Jackson, or Danny. Stiles and Scott are their own little duo. That just leaves me."

I felt him grab my hand.

"You're not alone.I'm sorry I disappeared. It won't happen again."

"If you do, at least take me with you."

That got a laugh out of him which made me smile.

"Next time."

I sighed contently and leaned my head against the window.A few minutes later I felt the car stop.

"We're here."

"Okay."

I got out of the car and leaned against the side.

"Where's my boss?"

"He's in the back."

"Oh, well, he looks comfortable."

I rolled my eyes at Stiles.

"Wait. Hey. Where are you going?"

"You said I was linked with the alpha. I'm going to see if you're right."

They walked off and I felt Derek leaned beside me.I looked up in his direction.

"They're going to do something stupid aren't they?"

"Probably."

I sighed and leaned my head against his arm.

"At least I got some brains."

He chuckled.A minute later I heard the worst sound of my life. It sounded like a cat dying.

"You've got to be kidding me."

"Please tell me that wasn't Scott."

"I'm gonna kill him."

A few seconds later a loud howl was heard.It made me jump closer to Derek.He placed an arm around me and pulled me closer.

"They're going to get us killed."

"What's new."

A few minutes later I heard them walking towards us.

"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?"

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

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

I felt Derek tense.

"Shut up."

"Don't be such a sourwolf."

"What'd you do with him?"

I felt Derek turn.

"What?I didn't do anything."

I heard Derek let out a choked sound and suddenly something grabbed the back of my neck.I screamed when I felt the coarse fur of the alpha.Suddenly I was thrown to the side and felt my head smack the pavement.I vaguely remember hearing Scott and Stiles scream my name before I passed out.
