Teen Wolf: Alpha Reborn

The Argents' POV 

While Scott and his pack were battling Cassandra and her pack, Gerard Argent arrived in Beacon Hills. He wasted no time and headed straight to Allison's house. 

The moment Gerard stepped inside, he looked at Chris and demanded. "Where is Kate?" 

Chris narrowed his eyes. "What do you want with her, Gerard? She's your daughter." 

Gerard's expression hardened. "She's not my daughter anymore. She's one of those rabid mutts now. And you know what we do to rabid dogs, Chris; we put them down." 

Behind the wall, Kate overheard every word. With a heavy heart, she stepped out of her hiding spot. "Do you really want to kill me, Dad?" she asked, her voice trembling. "I'm like this because I did what you told me to do." 

Gerard glared at her, his voice laced with venom. "No, you're like this because you're weak. We're hunters. The moment you were bitten, you should've done the honorable thing—ended your life." 

Tears welled up in Kate's eyes. "I broke the code, killed innocent people, and became a monster, all to make you proud of me. But now, you can't even break your own stupid hunter code to spare my life. You know what, Gerard? I'm not even surprised. You've always been a monster. The worst part is… Allison hates me now." 

Gerard sneered. "Stop crying like a child, Kate. You want to make me proud? Then take your gun and end it yourself, like a real Argent." 

Kate wiped her tears and straightened. "No, Gerard. I'm not killing myself. And I'm done trying to please you." 

Gerard's face twisted with rage. He pulled out his gun and aimed it at her. "If you won't do it, then I will. I won't let you shame the Argent family." 

Kate's eyes widened as Gerard fired. She tried take cover but she couldn't avoid all the bullets, one struck her shoulder and one struck her leg. Summoning the last of her strength, she turned and fled into the night, blood dripping from her wounds. 

Chris, frozen in shock, watched as Kate disappeared into the night. He turned to Gerard, his voice filled with anger. "What are you doing, Gerard?" 

Gerard holstered his gun, his expression cold. "What you should have done from the start, Chris." 

Chris stepped closer, his fists clenched. "I'm not a monster like you. She's my sister, your daughter. How could you do this?" 

Gerard scoffed. "My daughter died the night she was bitten. Now, she's the enemy. She won't last long, those bullets were filled with wolfsbane. But if she survives, the next time I see her, I'll finish the job." 

Chris glared at him. "You've gone too far, Gerard." 

Gerard ignored him and changed the subject. "Now that I'm here, we're going to clean this town of werewolves. The Hales and their pack are rebuilding, I'm sure of it. We'll hunt every last one of them. And where's Allison? I heard her boyfriend is one of those mutts. I'll make her shoot him herself and turn her into a real Argent." 

Chris's jaw tightened. "Stay away from my daughter, Gerard. If you so much as look at her the wrong way, I'll put a bullet in you myself." 

Gerard smirked. "We're hunters, Chris. How could you let Allison date a werewolf?" 

Chris crossed his arms. "Don't worry about my daughter. She's not a hunter. As for her boyfriend, you're free to go after him, but you'd better be ready to die when you do." 

Gerard chuckled darkly. "The werewolf that can scare me hasn't been born yet." 

Chris allowed a small, knowing smile. "We'll see." 

Gerard raised an eyebrow. "Is he really that strong?" 

Chris nodded. "Stronger than anything I've ever seen or heard of. Beacon Hills is his territory, and you'd do well to be careful. He's got another strong Alpha in his pack, probably more. Victoria and I won't fight him. As much as I hate his guts for stealing my little girl, he's a good kid. He's protecting this town. So don't do anything stupid to provoke him." 

Gerard waved off the warning dismissively. "I'll deal with him later. For now, let's focus on the Hales."

Scott's POV 

The next morning, Scott woke up to the soft sound of Allison breathing beside him. She was still peacefully asleep when her phone began to ring. 

Allison stirred, groggily reaching for the phone. "Hello?" she mumbled, her voice thick with sleep. 

"Hey, Princess. Can we talk?" came Kate's weak voice from the other end. 

Allison immediately tensed. Her grogginess vanished as she snapped. "I don't want to talk to you, Kate. I hate you." 

She was about to hang up when Kate pleaded. "This might be the last time, Princess. Please." 

Allison hesitated, then sighed. "Fine. Say what you need to say." 

"Can we meet?" Kate asked. "I'm near your school." 

Allison glanced at the clock and frowned. "It's early, but fine." She hung up, her expression troubled. 

Scott looked at her. "She doesn't sound good." He said. 

Allison nodded. "I think she's hurt. I need to see what she wants. Can I borrow your car?" 

Scott shook his head. "I'll drive you." 

They quietly got dressed, leaving a note for the still-sleeping pack before heading to the school. 

When they arrived, they found Kate sitting in her car. She stepped out as they approached, but the sight of her made Allison's heart clench. Dark blue veins crawled across one side of Kate's face, and she was limping badly. 

Allison ran to her. "What's wrong with you?" 

Kate managed a weak smile. "Don't worry, Princess. I just wanted to say goodbye before I leave and… apologize for breaking your heart." 

Scott approached, his sharp gaze noting the telltale signs of wolfsbane poisoning. "Let me guess, your father's in town?" 

Allison froze. "Wait… Gerard? Did he do this to you?" 

Kate gave a bitter nod. "Yes, but don't worry about it. I'll be fine." 

Allison wasn't convinced. "You're lying. You're dying, aren't you?" 

Kate didn't respond, and Allison's face crumpled. She turned to Scott, her voice trembling. "Scott, I know you hate her, but please… I'm begging you, help me save her." 

Scott sighed, crossing his arms. "Fine, but you'll have to compensate me later, love." He teased, flashing her a playful wink. 

Allison blushed, swatting his arm. "Fine! You pervert, just do something!" 

Kate chuckled weakly. "How about I compensate him instead?" 

Allison shot her a glare. "You know what? Let her die, Scott." 

Kate quickly raised her hands in mock surrender. "I was joking! I was joking!" 

"Not funny." Allison said.

Scott looked at Kate and asked. "Do you know what kind of wolfsbane you were hit with?" 

"Nordic Blue Monkshood." Kate replied weakly. 

Scott nodded. "Do you have any in your car?" 

Kate blinked, confused. "Yes." 

Scott raised an eyebrow. "Then why haven't you used it to heal yourself?" 

Kate sighed. "I know how to kill werewolves, Scott, not how to heal them." 

Scott rolled his eyes. "You need to burn the Nordic Blue Monkshood, collect the ash, and apply it directly to the wound." 

"That's it?" Kate asked incredulously. 

"That's it." Scott confirmed. 

Kate turned to Allison. "Help me get my bag from the trunk." 

Allison retrieved the bag, and Kate pulled out a small jar of powdered monkshood. She poured some onto the hood of her car, lit it on fire, and waited for the ash to cool. With trembling hands, she applied the ash to the bullet wound on her shoulder. She cried out in pain, collapsing to the ground, but the blue veins began to recede. 

Kate repeated the process for her leg wound. Once fully healed, she stood up, swaying slightly. "Thank you, Scott." She said softly. 

Scott crossed his arms. "I didn't do it for you. I did it for Allison. I don't want her to be sad." 

Kate nodded, then turned to Allison. "I know I've done terrible things, and I'm sorry. I promise I'll never hurt innocent people again. I just hope you can forgive me one day. And, Princess, stay away from Gerard. He has a way of getting into your head and manipulating you. Don't trust him." 

She then looked at Scott. "Be careful. Gerard will use anything to get to you and your family, your friends. He'll do whatever it takes." 

Scott's eyes darkened. "He can try. But if he comes after me, he'll die." 

Kate gave a small smile, then turned back to Allison. "I'm leaving, Princess. I don't think I'll be coming back to Beacon Hills. Can I… can I get a goodbye hug?" 

Allison hesitated, then finally stepped forward and hugged her tightly. 

Kate climbed into her car, looking at Scott one last time. "Take care of her, Scott." 

Then she turned to Allison. "Goodbye, Princess. I love you." 

She drove away, leaving Beacon Hills behind. 

Allison leaned into Scott, tears welling in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Scott. I know you hate her. I hate her for what she did too… but I couldn't let her die." 

Scott wrapped his arms around her. "I understand, Allison. But if Gerard comes after me… I'll kill him. You have to understand that too." 

Allison looked up at him, her eyes fierce. "Don't worry. I might kill that monster myself."
