I instantly shift and pull Peter away I look to Stiles, 

"Go with Peter, take Cora and try to get to the ambulance" 

He nods and he and Peter run to get Cora I feel Scott and Derek shift behind me leaving Jennifer on her own, she backs away and into the elevator. I watch Derek run at them but they throw him against a wall. I growl and run towards them. Then I shout at them 

"Ethan, Aiden! Stop," 

"Hand over Jennifer Blake and we won't kill you or your friends." 

I help Derek up and we make a run for it with Scott behind us. We find Stiles, Cora and Peter in an operating room I run to Cora's side and take her pain away, it hurts me like hell but I don't stop until I feel her breathing regulate and hear her heartbeat steady, it took a lot of my strength away but I eventually regain it, 

"Where's the big guy?" I question, 

"Close." Derek answers 

"What about Miss Blake?" Stiles questions but Scott shakes his head, 

"She left in the elevator." 

"What does that mean? She's gone? Scott are you kidding me?" 

"Quiet." Derek whisper/shouts, 

"Me, me be quiet are you telling me what to do now? When a psychotic mass murdering girl. A girl you slept with by the way. Has my dad tied up somewhere, waiting to be ritually sacrificed." Stiles says getting all up in Derek's face and also forgetting I'm stood right here. 

My body goes rigid. 

"What did you just say?" 

I look between Derek and Stiles. Stiles' face has 'Oh shit' written all over it. 

"You slept with her?" I ask now focusing completely on Derek, 

His eyes don't meet mine. The door swings open and I look and see Jennifer. Figures. I grow my claws. I can't stop what's happening. I don't know if I'd want to if I could. 

"Tell me it's not true." I start, meeting his eyes for only a second before I look away again. "You do realise that she's the reason that Cora is dying. Your little sister, who we both thought was dead for so long, is dying and it's all because of that bitch."

"Mackenzie, I was going to tell you." His eyes finally meet mine and are filled with regret. 

I glow my eyes, 

"Why did you do it? Am I not good enough for you?" 

Jennifer begins talking, not allowing Derek to reply. 

"Derek, Deucalion doesn't just want you in his pack. He wants perfection. That means adding the rarest of Alphas to his ranks. He didn't come here for you Derek. Scott, Mackenzie. Tell him. Tell him it's true." 

She looks to Scott and I. Peter follows her gaze 

"True Alphas! Our Little Scott and Mackenzie" 

Scott looks at Peter I don't. I know what a true Alpha is I look to Scott and see his puzzled look, 

"A true Alpha is an Alpha that doesn't have to kill or steal power from another Alpha to become one, they can rise to the power by force of true will" 

I look down I didn't want to become an Alpha I don't care if I'm a true Alpha I don't want the power 

"Someone's been doing there werewolf homework" 

I glare at Peter. 

"If you wanna prove you're one of the good guys then heal her." Stiles says to Jennifer.
