Chapter 18 Third Beta

Today's night was calm and pleasant. After all the morning routines, I went to school. Now I'm at school, and I'm taking books on today's subjects. But it was at this moment that I heard someone say over the loudspeaker:

" Jack Anderson, go to the director's office. "

Hearing him, I went to the director's office. As I walked, I could clearly hear two heartbeats in the principal's office. Without paying attention to this, I continued to walk. When I got to the door and decided to knock on it.

After my knock on the door, an old man's voice was heard:

"You can come in."

When I heard the voice I went in, I already knew whose voice it was, and I roughly understood who the second person in the office was.

When I went inside, I saw 2 gazes on me. Of course, these were Gerard Argent and Victoria Argent. Gerard was standing at his desk, and Victoria was leaning against the wall.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Argent and Mrs. Argent, did you call me? I asked them with a surprised face.

"Yes, Jack, good morning. We called you. Gerard replied. And Victoria just nodded.

"May I know the reason?" I asked in the same tone.

"Well, I wanted to know the reason for your absence yesterday. Gerard said.

"Oh, yes, yesterday I had to skip school for family reasons. I hope this is not a problem? I asked Gerard with raised eyebrows.

"Oh, Jack, of course not."He said, sitting down at his desk and picking up some papers. - "Jack Anderson, one of the best students in the school. Excellent grades and a great athlete. There is no one bad grade, and in lacrosse almost immediately became a co-captain. You can definitely skip a couple of lessons, it won't be a problem, but still try not to skip." Gerard added in his kind and old voice.

"Thank you, Mr. Argent." I thanked him for his understanding. "Can I leave now?

" Wait, Jack, " Victoria suddenly said, pushing off from the wall. "I wanted to ask about you and Allison.

" I asked with raised eyebrows. To be honest, I already knew about it.

"So you're still dating?"What is it?" she asked in surprise.

"Well, yes, we didn't seem to stop seeing each other," I replied with a frown.

"Wait a minute, Victoria, what do you mean you're still dating? Was there any problem? Gerard asked.

" Oh, no, no, I'm just surprised, it seemed to me that they stopped dating, " Victoria replied, at the end looking at me with narrowed eyes.

"Ohoho, Jack looks like a nice guy. Jack, would you like to join us for dinner soon? Gerard asked with a kind look.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Argent, I won't be able to anytime soon."I answered him.

"I'm sorry, but I'll be waiting for you. And now you can leave" He said finally letting go of me.

"Okay, good-bye, Mr. and Mrs. Argent"" I said to them and left the door.

Several hours had already passed since that moment, and I was now sitting next to Allison in the cafeteria.

"Hey, Jack, why weren't you at school yesterday? Allison suddenly asked.

"Well, yesterday my sister woke up from a coma. So I spent my day with her. I answered her with a smile.

"Oh, that's great news. I'm happy for you" " Allison said with a bright smile.

" Thank you, " I replied.

"By the way, did she become a werewolf?"Allison looked a little worried.

"Yes, she did, and even scratched me when she woke up"" I replied laughing.

"Haha, that's understandable. By the way, is she in your pack now?"What is it?" she asked, also laughing.

"Ah, by the way, I found one more beta. She's in my pack, too. Her name is Malia. I'll introduce you when I get the chance." I told Alison.

"So you have two betas now? Like Derek's? You know that Derek turned one more girl. I think her name is Erica Reyes. Allison said.

"Yes, I already smelled one more werewolf at school."I told her.

"I see, but I don't understand, is Derek preparing for war? And if so, against our family?"What is it?" she asked.

"To be honest, I don't know. But even if he is preparing for war, he is definitely not against Gerard. There must be another reason."I answered her by lying. After all, I know the real reason for Derek. He is preparing against a pack of Alphas. I wonder if he will tell me about it? Or he still won't tell you. After all, I am also an Alpha, and they should also come for me.

"I see, but what should we do? Should we stop Derek and how do we stop Gerard? Allison asked in disbelief.

"About Derek, he won't be a problem, and neither will your father. He definitely won't kill for no reason, but your grandfather is not like that. I'll give you something soon. You know about your grandfather's medicines, don't you? I'll give you exactly the same one, you'll have to swap them when you can" " I replied to her.

"Okay, I think I can do it." Allison replied with easy confidence.

"That's great" I said with a smile, to which I received the same smile.

But at that moment, Scott appeared next to us.

"Hey, hey Jack, Allison," he said.

"Hi, Scott" Allison answered, and I just nodded my head.

"Jack, I wanted to talk about Derek." "You probably already realized that he now has 2 betas, but it looks like he's not going to stop there. I think he's also trying to bite Boyd Vernon"

" "But why do you care? I don't understand. Since they want it, let them become a werewolf.

"Maybe I shouldn't care, but you know that there are also hunters who are trying to kill us." Scott replied with an upbeat voice.

"Do you think Derek didn't tell them about this? I asked with raised eyebrows.

"Maybe. Even if he told them, you should know that he only transforms them for strength. And maybe they don't even have a clue how dangerous hunters are. They just don't understand the real danger. Scott said.

"And what do you mean by that? Can I help you stop him? I asked, still in a surprised tone.

"If you can, yes, I want to stop him. We don't have to fight them. Scott replied.

"Scott, I can help you, but I won't stop him. He's an Alpha, and let him do what he wants. Of course, within reason, " I replied.

"Good" Scott had to agree with me, so he just left.

So our day ended, as usual. In the evening, I arrived at the veterinary clinic. As soon as I entered the door, Deaton was standing in front of me behind the rowan partition.

"Hello, Jack" Deaton said with a slight smile.

"Hello, Mr. Deaton" I replied, shaking my head.

"How's your sister? Is she awake yet? Deaton asked curiously.

"Oh, yes, she woke up yesterday. Thank you for everything" I replied with a grateful look.

"Oh, don't worry about it. Deaton said in response. "Did you come today for some purpose?"

"Yes, you are right. You have rowan dust, don't you?" I asked him, interested, although I already knew the answer.

"Yes, but why do you need it? He asked with raised eyebrows.

"Well, they are not for me. If possible, I would like to take them in the form of tablets, that is, in the form of capsules. It is intended for a not very good person."I answered him at the end with a smile.

"I see... Deaton said.

"So, can I take it? I asked.

"Yes, you can take it. But you will owe me, in the future I will ask you for a favor. Deaton said.

"No problem, I told you that I would be happy to help you. I said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I remember. Now show me exactly which capsules to put them in. Deaton said, laughing. So I spent about one or two hours in the vet clinic. As soon as I got out, I headed for the ice rink. There will be an interesting sight there today, I thought and smiled.

When I reached the rink, I went inside and headed to the seats outside the arena. It looks like I came a little early, I saw Boyd sitting on a special car. But I didn't have to wait long. I could see Scott coming in right now, and I got ready for the show, hehe.

"Boyd. I just want to talk," Scott says, looking at Boyd, but Boyd doesn't pay attention to him. "Hey, come on, Boyd, please... Did Derek tell you everything? And I'm not just talking about losing control on a full moon, I mean everything."

At this point, Boyd turns off the special equipment and looks at Scott and says:

"He told me about the hunters.

"And that's not enough to say no? Scott says with his hands in the pockets of his hoodie. ""Whatever you don't want, there are other ways to achieve it... he continued, but was interrupted by Boyd saying,

" I just don't want to eat lunch alone every day."

"If you're looking for friends, you can find a lot of people who are better than Derek. Scott answers, but at this moment their attention is attracted by Derek's voice:

"Actually, it's a shame, Scott."When Scott hears Derek, he turns to him and takes his hands out of his pocket. "I mean, if you're going to criticize me, take all opinions into account for now. Erica, how has your life changed since we met?"

"Hmm, in one word... Radically" Erica answers and growls, showing her fangs.

"Isaac? Derek asks.

"Well, I'm a little puzzled by my status as a fugitive, but in general I like it," Isaac replies.

"Okay, that's enough, this is not a very fair fight. Scott says, interrupting Isaac.

" Then go home, Scott, " Derek says with a smile. To which he receives a firm look from Scott, and turning his head gives commands to two betas. To which they go to Scott.

Scott's answer was cool. He sat down on one knee, hit the ice with his hand and turned into a werewolf.:

"I'm not honest with them."Then he growls.

Their fight didn't last long. Scott quickly dealt with Isaac and Erica. He was throwing both of them in different directions epically, and it all looked cool, until he started his tirade about how Derek turns them only for strength, and he doesn't care about them. During his speech, he throws both of them at Derek's feet.

" That's right, it's all about power, " Derek says and starts walking towards Scott. While walking, he first appears claws, then red Alpha eyes, and then fangs along with a roar with his head twitching in a circular motion. And when Derek gets to Scott, he has sideburns.

Scott, seeing the whole scene, steps back a little. In his movement, you can see stiffness, or rather fear. After all, the Alpha is standing in front of him now.

Derek finally gets close to Scott, hits him in the face with his head, and then rips his stomach with his claws. And then he runs a combo with two uppercuts on Scott's chin and finishes the combo with a punch to the stomach. After being hit in the stomach, Scott twists, but at the same time hits Derek's face with his elbow, which gets a roar from him. After the blow, Derek smiles broadly and goes back to Scott. Approaching him, he intercepts Scott's blow, and begins to hit Scott's face himself. First he hits with his fist, then with his elbow several times. At the end, he lifts Scott off the ground and throws him on the ice. Scott coughs up blood and lies unable to get to his feet, to which Derek's leg is added to Scott's neck. Boyd watches the whole fight with surprise. And finally, after a couple of seconds, Derek steps back, thereby giving Scott a chance to catch his breath.

To be honest, I was sorry to see Scott in such a state. Scott's face twisted into a grimace of pain, and he clutched at his stomach, where Derek's claws had cut it.

Finally, after a pleasant show, I start walking down to the arena, clapping my hands.

Hearing the clapping, everyone turned their heads in my direction. Even Scott, who was lying with the same expression on his face. They were all surprised to see me. I really don't understand how they couldn't have noticed me. Either they're not very good, or I'm good at disguising myself. Maybe it's all about me? I thought as I went down.

"Thank you for the show" I said with a smile, looking in Derek's direction. "But, Derek, is alpha versus beta fair? Let's show the Betas a fair fight: Alphas against Alphas."

Derek didn't look very confident, seeing and hearing what I was talking about.

But I knew right away that he was ready to fight by his stance and by his expression. As soon as I stepped on the ice Derek spoke:

"Okay, Jack, let's show you," he said with a confident voice and started running in my direction.

"That's great, watch the Beta show," I turned to everyone with a smile and was still walking in Derek's direction.

As soon as Derek reached me, he tried to hit me with his right hand, but I easily dodged his blow. Seeing this scene, he growled, and again began to beat with his hands. He tried to cut with his claws, then hit with his fist. But it was all to no avail. I easily dodged or parried his blows.

But when he tried to cut my face with the claws of his left hand, I grabbed his wrist.

"Derek, really? Is that the best you can do? I asked him with a chuckle.

When Derek heard me, he growled as hard as he could and pulled his right hand back to strike. But I did not wait for his blow, and raising my right leg hit him in the stomach so hard that he flew to the end of the arena and hit the partition.

"Oh, that was strong," I said, scratching my head. - "But that's not all " a manic smile filled my face.

After that, I began to undress. First the top, then the shoes and down, underpants and so on. Everyone who watched this scene was shocked. That is, they were already in shock when an unremarkable guy of their age at first easily dodged, and then sent Derek flying, but seeing the scene where he undresses, they were at a loss. You could read on their faces: "What are you doing at all?".

But I didn't pay any attention to it at all. As soon as I finished undressing, I looked at Derek, who had already got up and entered the arena again. I smiled at him and began to transform into a lycan form. My height grew to 7 feet, my entire body was covered with silver fur mixed with purple, my face lengthened, becoming like the muzzle of a wolf, wolf ears and tail appeared. Finally turning, I looked around. All the betas were terrified, and felt fear. Especially Boyd, Erica and Isaac. This is the first time they see such a scene. Scott also felt fear, remembering the scene in front of the Hale house. Derek was also confused, as if he didn't expect that I wouldn't turn into this form.

I flashed my bright purple eyes, smiled, and jumped towards Derek. The distance between us was a lot, but I got to Derek in one jump, and it seems that Derek did not expect this either. As soon as I landed in front of him, his eyes opened so wide that they could fall out of his eyes.

I immediately grabbed him by the neck and threw him to the other side of the arena on the ice, and restraining my strength so that he could gather himself. As soon as he started to get up, after he stopped, I appeared in front of him again, and now I cut his stomach with my claws, but not deeply. After all, my claws were twice as long as in my werewolf state.

After I cut his stomach, Derek bent down with a grimace of pain and grabbed his bloody stomach, but I knocked him off his feet, thereby causing him to fall backwards, and hit with restrained force, clenching his fists on the ice next to Derek's head. The place where I struck fell a few centimeters down, and the surrounding ice began to crack and stopped, about 5-6 meters away.

"Well, I think that's enough" I said with an animal voice, and began to turn back into a human as I walked in the direction of my clothes. As soon as I got to my clothes and became a human, I put on all my clothes and went to Derek.

Derek was still lying in the fetal position with his hands on his stomach.

"Hey, how are you, does it hurt too much? I asked him, holding out my right hand to him.

" * Ahem, ahem* could have held back" He replied coughing.

"You know that I was holding back quite a lot" " I replied with a smile.

"Aha"" he said simply and shook his head, but still held the bloody marks from the 5 claws. "You know, it hurt, " he said, pointing to his stomach.

"Haha, well, I just repeated after you" I told him laughing. And when he heard me, he looked at Scott, who was already up, but still his wounds still hadn't healed. - "You know that Alpha wounds heal more slowly, and I don't think that your wounds will heal soon either. "

Derek, hearing this, looked at me, and then at his stomach and said:

"Yeah, that's going to be a problem."

After that, the others came up to us. Boyd, Isaac, and Erica stood next to Derek, and Scott stood next to me.

"So is Scott in your pack? Derek asked me with raised eyebrows.

"No, I don't think so." I answered him. "He will definitely not like my actions, as well as yours."I smiled as I said that.

"Yes, I'm not in anyone's pack. Scott said, to which Derek just grinned.

"Hey, Boyd, you've already been bitten by Derek, haven't you? I asked, looking at Boyd, to which he simply replied:

"Yes," and showed his side. Seeing this, Scott was somewhat confused.

"Why? You don't want to be like them, do you? Scott asked, pointing at Isaac and Erica.

"Yes, I want to be like you, Derek and him" Boyd said at the end, looking at me.

"Well, it's going to be difficult"" I said, smiling. "Hey, Derek, you're not gathering a pack because of the hunters, are you? I don't think Gerard is worth it."

Hearing me, Derek's face turned gloomy. He started thinking about something. Of course, I know exactly what he's thinking.

"Well, in fact, I'm now gathering against Gerard, and against the one who killed Isaac's father" Derek answered partially the truth.

"I see" I told him, and looked at Scott. "And you, Scott, you'd better go to Mr. Deaton."When

Scott heard me, he just nodded and started walking in the direction of the exit.

After that, I also left, but before that I noticed the curious looks of Isaac, Boyd and Erica. Their views changed from the very beginning, which lifted my mood. At first they had a surprised look, then a shock, puzzled, fear and curiosity, seeing my communication with Derek.

Finally, after leaving the skating rink, I got into the car and went home.

A/n: In general, some people say that I switch between the first and third views. But I want to clarify this. I always try to write in the first person. But sometimes, if I don't write "I" in the text, the translator automatically inserts "he". Therefore, you probably notice that I write a lot of "I", even where the meaning is clear without it. But if I don't write this, as you already know, there will be confusion.
