Chapter 26: The Fight With The Alpha

The moon cast a silver glow over the clearing in the woods as Scott waited, calm and unwavering. It wasn't long before the leaves rustled, and Peter Hale appeared, his smirk oozing with dark confidence. Scott crossed his arms, meeting Peter's gaze without an ounce of fear.

Peter raised an eyebrow, amusement flickering in his eyes. "Scott, I have to admit, I'm impressed. But tell me—how did you know who I am? And what I am?"

Scott shrugged nonchalantly. "Beat me first, and maybe I'll tell you."

Peter's smirk turned to a grin, his eyes gleaming a menacing red as he stepped closer. His fingers elongated, turning into razor-sharp claws, and his face took on an ominous snarl as he leaned in, his voice dripping with condescension. "Don't forget, Scott—you're just my beta."

With that, Peter roared, a thunderous sound designed to force Scott into submission. But Scott didn't flinch. Instead, he met Peter's roar with a calm, almost amused smile. Then, without a word, Scott's eyes ignited, a bright red that left Peter momentarily speechless.

Before Peter could react, Scott clenched his fist and drove it hard into Peter's gut, sending him stumbling back, gasping for air. The punch reverberated through the clearing, and Peter, stunned, staggered to his feet.

He looked at Scott, shock plastered across his face. "How…how are you…an alpha?"

Scott kept his gaze steady. "Apparently, I'm what they call a true alpha," he said with a casual smirk. "Oh, and by the way—thanks for the bite."

Peter's face paled as the truth set in. "A true alpha…" he murmured, his mind racing. "The rarest type of alpha. How can it be you?"

Scott chuckled. "Guess I'm just that talented." He cracked his knuckles, stepping forward. "Enough talking, Peter. let's fight."

Peter's eyes narrowed, anger replacing his initial shock. He leaned back and let out a growl, his bones shifting and lengthening as he transformed into his full werewolf form. Towering over Scott, his dark fur bristled under the moonlight, and his eyes gleamed with an intense bloodlust.

He lowered his voice to a deep, guttural tone. "I'll show you what a real alpha is, kid."

With that, Peter charged, teeth bared and claws outstretched. Scott stood his ground, not even bothering to shift. Instead, he sidestepped Peter's swipe, effortlessly dodging each attack, and landed a swift kick to Peter's side, sending him tumbling into a nearby tree.

Peter scrambled up, fury flashing across his face as he lunged again. But Scott barely broke a sweat. Even in his human form, he could feel his strength far surpassing Peter's, and the realization filled him with confidence. He danced around Peter's attacks, landing precise hits with a playful ease. Each punch, each kick, sent Peter reeling back, his growls turning into frustrated snarls.

Scott grinned, taunting him. "Is that all you've got, Peter?"

Frustration turned to desperation as Peter lunged wildly, hoping to land even a single blow. But Scott continued to dodge, his calm smirk never faltering. He was toying with Peter now, using him as nothing more than a practice dummy. After a few more jabs, Scott drew back, watching Peter struggle to stand, his breath ragged and his body battered.

Scott's voice dropped to a low, amused tone. "I'm getting bored, Peter."

With that, he delivered a powerful uppercut, sending Peter flying backward. Peter landed on the ground, whimpering like a wounded animal, his once-mighty presence reduced to a trembling mess.

Scott straightened, pulling off his shirt, and looked down at Peter with a smile that sent chills through Peter's core. "I think it's time I show you what a real alpha looks like."

With a deep breath, Scott's body began to shift, his bones lengthening, his muscles expanding. Black fur rippled across his skin, and his eyes glowed an intense red, casting an eerie glow across the clearing. When he finished transforming, he towered over Peter, a formidable figure with power radiating from every inch.

Peter looked up, terror evident in his face as he took in the sight of Scott's full werewolf form—a tall, imposing figure with a strength that far exceeded anything Peter had ever encountered. He stumbled back, unable to hide the fear in his eyes.

Scott bared his fangs, his voice a low, menacing growl. "Still think you're the alpha here?"

Without waiting for an answer, Scott attacked, moving with a speed and force that left Peter helpless. He struck Peter's arm, snapping it like a twig. Peter roared, his voice filled with agony as Scott delivered blow after brutal blow, each strike sending shockwaves through the clearing. Peter's legs buckled, his own bones betraying him, and he fell to the ground, coughing up blood, his body broken and defeated.

Scott crouched down beside him, looking into Peter's bloodshot eyes with cold detachment. "You're free to go after Kate Argent. I won't stop you. Frankly, I don't like her. And I don't like you, either, you killed your niece for power."

Peter's face contorted in confusion and pain as he tried to focus on Scott's words.

Scott's expression turned icy as he continued. "But if you go after Allison, you'll be dealing with me. And next time, I won't stop until there's nothing left of you. Nod if you understand."

With fear overtaking him, Peter gave a trembling nod, his body too weak to fight back. Scott raised a hand, then slapped him, the blow sharp and final. Peter winced, humiliation mingling with his pain. And with that final blow to his pride, Peter turned back to his human form, and surrendered to unconsciousness.

Scott took a step back, returning to his human form. He picked up his clothes and slipped them back on, casting one last look at the broken, bloodied figure of Peter lying on the ground.

'Allison,' he thought, feeling the intensity of his purpose. He knew what he had to do next. The time had come to tell Allison the truth—not only about her family's legacy but about the supernatural world she was unknowingly already part of. She deserved to know, and Scott would make sure she did, no matter what.
