Ashes

Chapter Thirty Four

Chapter Thirty Four

3rd Person's POV

Scott walked into the student library but didn't see Lydia. She texted him and told him he needed to meet her there. He called out for her but got no response. He called out again. "Hey, Lydia?"

Since he didn't get a response, he decided to call her phone. He heard a phone vibrating in one of the aisles. He walked over to see Lydia's phone. He noticed a line of mountain ash and put the phone down. He backed out the aisle and saw someone finishing the mountain ash circle, trapping him. It was Theo.

"That's not possible," Scott said, looking at the younger Beta.

"You're right." Theo agreed. "A werewolf shouldn't even be able to touch mountain ash."

"You're a Chimera." Scott realized.

"I'm the first Chimera. It's the coyote part you don't notice." Theo said. Scott started walking toward Theo, in turn, Theo started walking backward toward the line. "It's why Malia trusted me first, even though she probably didn't know it. You found the perfect word though, Scott. Because a Chimera isn't just a monster with different parts. It can also mean something impossible to achieve. An unrealizable dream."

"And they realized you?" Scott asked, feeling betrayed.

"They came close with me," Theo said, bitterness in his tone. "But we can't all be perfect. We can't all be true Alphas." Scott rushed Theo but he stepped over the line. Scott slammed into the mountain ash shield and was thrown back.

"Damn. I felt that." Theo chuckled as Scott groaned. Theo walked over to a cell jammer and turned it on. "No calls, Scott. No Stiles, no Malia, no Lydia. You're just going to have to wait here alone for what happens next."

"What do you mean?" Scott asked. "What's next?"

"The Supermoon," Theo said and started walking away.

"Wait! Why are you doing this?" Scott asked. Theo stopped and looked back at him.

"Because you don't deserve your power!" Theo yelled. "Do you know how easy it was to tear apart your pack? Make you distrust Stiles? Make Liam hate you? You know, the only ones I never messed with were Isaac and Mac. You did that all yourself."

"What? What do you mean?" Scott asked confused.

"Your sister is actually missing and before you ask. The doctors had nothing to do with it. You screwed it up with Isaac brushing it to the side. So while you're stuck here, your sister is going to die and your pack is gonna fall apart." Theo smirked and left. Scott was left speechless. How did he let things get so messed up so quickly?

Brett and Isaac pulled up to Helena's house at the same time. When Brett heard Isaac's fear, he immediately agreed to search for his girlfriend. The two boys, though not friends, would do anything for Mac. Including working together to help find her.

"Her car is here," Isaac said, eyeing the truck.

"I don't hear anyone inside," Brett said. They walked to the door, ringing the doorbell. After a few minutes with no answer, Isaac decided to break in.

"I'm going in," Isaac said. Brett grabbed his arm.

"You're gonna commit home invasion?" Brett asked. Isaac shook off the hand and glared.
