## Summary

Malia heads upstairs to grab LJ for breakfast and runs into him in the bathroom after spotting him zoning out. He snaps out of his thoughts and greets her. She informs him that his mother had finished getting breakfast ready and that she is waiting for everyone to finish getting ready. Before she returns down to the kitchen. He asks her a question regarding her past and what it was like for her when she first transformed into her coyote form.

Malia reveals to LJ a more detailed version of her backstory that she had revealed to Georgene. After revealing her backstory on her experience during her first transformation. She also tells him that even though they make terrible mistakes sometimes, they aren’t too far gone, no one truly is. These words ended up deeply affecting La’Mont and had such an impact. He began to have regrets about how he was going about his plans to eliminate Jackson.

La’Mont finishes getting ready in the bathroom. Afterwards he returns to his room to finish getting dressed, but before he does he yells for Malia. Letting her know that the bathroom is vacant and that she could finally get ready for the day. About 30 minutes later, Malia returns downstairs dressed and ready to go as everyone else was already seated and ready to eat breakfast. Georgene greets her and asks if she would be open to transferring schools. Since Malia had no clue how long she’d be staying in town.

Malia lets her know that she would have to call her mother and let her know. She agrees though that it’d be a great decision to transfer given the circumstances surrounding her accidentally murdering her classmate Tasha. She asks Georgene if she could borrow her cell phone and call her mother to let her know about her current whereabouts and the situation. She obliges and Malia steps out of the kitchen to speak with her mother.

In the kitchen, La’Mont informs his mother that today is the day he will finish building the rest of his pack. She asks him what he’s planning to do following the completion of his attack. He reveals his plans to take Jackson down before another mass killing spree could occur that reveals supernaturals to the town. Isaac chimes in and says that he believes the plan will work and that he’ll follow his brother-in-arms into whatever conflict occurs. Georgene questions her son’s morality by pressing the issue of him becoming a judge, jury and executioner.

This sets La’Mont back as he thinks about Malia’s words from their conversation earlier in the day. He says that everything will be okay and that if he sees for himself that Jackson no longer poses a threat. Then he won’t take action and he’ll return home, but if Jackson shows any sign of being a danger. He’ll do what needs to be done in order to protect everyone. Malia returns to the kitchen after speaking with her mother on the phone. She revealed that she got full approval to not only stay in town for as long as she needs, but that her student records are currently being transferred over to Primal Hills.

Everyone at the table cheers and celebrates Malia’s transfer as they all sit and dig into their pancakes. Later at school, Scott and Allison walk through the halls and see Jackson being approached by numerous students. All of which were wondering where he was for months. Scott and Allison walk up to the group of kids and tell them to back off and give the man some space. The group walked away heading to their next destination as Scott begins to speak with Jackson. Jackson tells him that he doesn’t need to hawk him and follow him around all day. Allison tells him that it’s for his own protection due to him being a threat not only to himself but everyone around him.

Jackson responds telling her that the sedatives Kassidy gave him should be enough to keep his reptilian side at bay until they can find a permanent solution. Scott chimes in saying that on top of his protection, La’Mont is out to take him down. Jackson recalls that confrontation Scott and La’Mont had the previous evening at Kassidy’s and questions their strained friendship. Scott tells him that he would rather leave that history in the past and that all that matters is keeping him safe. Jackson finishes grabbing his books out of his locker, thanking the pair before heading into the class across the hall.

Allison before heading off to her next class tells Scott that sooner or later he’s going to have a conversation with La’Mont about their differences of handling situations. He responds saying that ship sailed a long time ago when he lied to him for a month about his intentions. He further tells her that although he’s her cousin that doesn’t excuse the fact that his actions pose as much of a danger as Jackson’s. Allison says that she knows and that she’s prepared to deal with him if things get that bad. They share a kiss and head off to their respective classes.

Isaac had been watching the two on the orders of La’Mont and overheard their conversation. Reporting back to his alpha using his newly mastered mental telepathy, everything he had overheard. La’Mont was in the gym during his physical activity period, where he shared that class with Tanya, his next target. Tanya was with a group of girls playing volleyball. When La’Mont out of nowhere, came and asked if he could join them. All the other boys in the class were on the other side of the gym playing basketball. So some of the girls found it odd, while other girls (such as Tanya’s friend from Chapter 11 and 12) found it moreso an opportunity. She teased Tanya who began blushing at the sight of La’Mont (who she a crush on - revealed in Chapter 12). La’Mont asked the the group of girls on his side if it was okay if he took the next shot. They let him know that it was okay, and he chucks the next shot starting the next set of games.

The ball flies over the net and Tanya took the chance to hit the ball back over to the otherside. She sends the ball flying back over and La’Mont using a bit of his enhanced strength smacks the ball so hard it cracks a bit of the gym floor. The girls are left flabbergasted as to how that happening is even possible. He chucks it up to being him “getting carried away”. Tanya walks over to the ball and picks it up off the ground, holding it in her hands. As she took alongside the others are extremely baffled. She looks around and notices that La’Mont isn’t present anymore. After looking around for about a minute.

She noticed him walking towards the men’s locker room with his eyes glowing red. She drops the ball and starting walking over the locker room following him. Her friend and another group of girls begin teasing Tanya and egging her onto finally grow some “balls” and confess her “love” for him. The teacher walks back into gym after stepping out to speak to another teacher and sees the crack in the ground. She gets upset at the girls playing volleyball and scolds them. While they try to defend their innocence informing them at La’Mont was the one who created the crack. The teacher laughs and says that he’s strong but it’s physically impossible for a human to create such a crack through that material.

Tanya walks into the locker room and starts calling for La’Mont. He responds from an unknown part of the room asking her why she followed him. She responds saying that she saw his eyes and wanted to know how he was able to create that crack in the ground with the volleyball. He responds saying that’s not the only reason she followed him into the locker room. She pretends to not know what he’s talking about but he detects her heartbeat rapidly increasing. He responds and comes out of the shadows saying that he could hear her heartbeat rising and that she’s lying. She begins to blush and sweat from his overbearing nature.

He stops right in front of her and tells her to say what she’s really feeling (he takes advantage of her having a crush on him and uses it to his benefit). Knowing that the cats out of the bad and that she can no longer hide or keep her feelings in. Feeling like she had no other choice in the moment, she revealed her feelings and fully expressed herself. La’Mont presented her with the same option as Isaac when he gave him the bite. He transitions his eyes from his human ones to his supernatural eyes. She questioned how he was able to do that. He tells her that she could be with him and have everything she could ever dream of and more. He also explains that the trick with his eyes is very natural and that he’s not human. She asks what he is and he tells her that he’s a supernatural creature called a Werewolf. She becomes more intrigued, and asks her final question.

She asks if this proposal has anything to do with making her like him. He responds telling her yes, and that if she accepts. She can be with him on a more intimate level (again he’s taking advantage of her feelings for him). Seeing this as a once in a lifetime opportunity, she accepts his offer. He grows out his fangs and grins sinisterly as he brushes her hair and sinks his teeth into her shoulder. She moans in pain while being weirdly turned on by the act. Blood rains down her back as his eyes glow brighter while biting harder into her skin. A few minutes later, Tanya walks out of the locker room with the bite on her shoulder already healed. Her friend runs up to her and asks what happened. Tanya says that she’s definitely building a future relationship and that everything she’s always wanted is finally happening.

La’Mont walks out not too long after, now wearing his regular clothes with his backpack. Before he exits the gym, he turns around and smiles at Tanya (pretending to reciprocate feelings for her) and she takes notice and smiles back at him. He exits the gym, heading for his final target Matthew. As he walks down the hall, he runs into Scott, Derek, Dirk and Lydia. Scott and Derek can smell the fresh blood from his now retracted fangs and inner portions of his mouth. Derek asks what he just did and where he came from. La’Mont tells Derek that he just finished the penultimate piece to complete his pack. Scott then questions him on who he recently turned. La’Mont tells Scott that even though he’s a beta underneath him, it’s none of his concern and that he’ll find out who it was at a later time. Scott becomes increasingly frustrated and even angry.

Letting out his frustrations with his best friend’s actions. Telling him that he can’t just go around turning whoever he feels like simply because he has the status and power to do so. La’Mont fires back at his friend, telling him that as long as the people are willing to buy into what he offers them. Scott responds saying that the bite ruined his life and that he wouldn’t wish being a lycanthrope on anyone who doesn’t fully understand what they’re getting into. La’Mont retorts that statement saying that Scott is projecting his inner feelings and attempting to speak for everyone. He further explains that just because the bite “ruined” Scott’s life, doesn’t mean it can’t completely change someone else’s for the better. He brings up Isaac as an example, informing the group he helped kill his father after he killed his mother. Derek, Dirk and Lydia are all shocked by this confession.

Derek says that while he agrees with his stance on dealing with threats (he repeats the same thing as his mother). La’Mont says that as an Alpha it’s his responsibility to make the hard choices and deal with issues as he sees fit. Scott shifts his eyes to their supernatural form as his anger rises, and before he can do anything. Derek and Dirk grab him and pull him back. Telling him that it isn’t the time nor the place to be having a confrontation. La’Mont tells them that he knows of their plan to stay on top of Jackson and protect him. To which Scott and the others vow to not let him get anywhere near Jackson. La’Mont tells them that getting past any of them will not be an issue and that he will get to Jackson regardless of how he has to do it.

He then walks off down the hall with his friends looking on with disappointment and disgust. Derek and Dirk head off to their next few classes and Lydia continues to look on as she feels a sense of sorrow and regret coming from La’Mont (much like Malia, she sees through his “bullshit” act). Although, he keeps putting up this front to keep him on task, Lydia figures that there has to be a way to break through to his more emotional side. At lunch period, La’Mont, Isaac, and the newly turned Tanya had walked into the cafeteria and saw Scott and the others sitting at a large table with Jackson. Scott notices them looking and tells Jackson to ignore them and go about his day as usual.

Allison was standing in line waiting to grab some food when La’Mont walked up to her. His betas had gone to grab an empty table next to Matthew’s table. Allison told her cousin that she understands he’s trying to do the right thing, but that his actions conflict with his intentions. La’Mont responds by telling her that his actions are a necessary need to get the hard things done with others refuse to do something. She tries to argue that it’s not his place solely to fix everything on his own and that everyone needs to work together. La’Mont responds saying Scott will never allow him to work with him after the lies he put him through and betraying his trust.

Allison says that’s something the two of them need to work out on their own. She wishes her cousin the best of luck but lets him know that she won’t be helping him. Her final words to him are a grave warning that if he goes too far, she won’t hesitate to step in a stop him. La’Mont tells her that hopefully things won’t come to that. He heads back to the table and tells his betas to wait for him while he turns Matthew. He walks away from the table and heads over to Matthew and his friends at their table. He asks Matthew if they could talk in private for a few minutes. Scott and the others over at their table notice, and the former tells Derek to go after and stop him.

La’Mont and Matthew head out of the cafeteria near the area of the school where he turned Isaac. Derek trails now too far behind them (La’Mont knows he’s there but decides to let him continue following them). Derek watches on from behind a corner near the end of the hallway the two stopped at and witnesses La’Mont turn Matthew by giving him the bite. (This process was way quicker than with Tanya and Isaac, because he was running low on time and needed to hurry). Derek gets caught in the halls by Principal Davis, who scolds him about leaving the cafeteria during his lunch period, telling that he knows better.

Derek says that La’Mont and another student named Matthew are down the hall and that he was watching them. Only for Principal Davis to walk over to that hallway and see no one there and nothing happening. He tells Derek to immediately head back to the cafeteria (which he does with no issue). After getting back to the cafeteria, he notices La’Mont had already returned with Matthew sitting alongside him, Tanya and Isaac. Matthew’s friends had been trying to get his attention, but Matthew kept blowing them off (which pissed them off and caused them to move to another table).

La’Mont turns to the entrance of the cafeteria and smirks at Derek with a sinister grin. Derek simply shakes his head with disappointment as he walks back over to his friends. As he sits down, he informs Scott and the others that something needs to be done about La’Mont. He reveals that he got bad feeling in his stomach when he saw LJ smirk at him before turning towards the table. Scott quickly figures out what that bad feeling was and that it’s worse than Derek presumably thinks. Everyone questions Scott’s line of thought, and he tells them that with the complete formation of his pack, La’Mont now has everything he needs to go after Jackson.

La’Mont overhears their entire conversation and turns over to their table looking at Scott, communicating with him telepathically. He tells Scott that there’s nothing he can do to stop him now. Scott responds saying that he has a greater understanding of his powers now and that he alone is more than capable of handling him. (This is due to Scott feeling confident after taking down Peter single-handedly on his own with this “mysterious” power he has.) A stare off ensues between the two are the rest of the school day passes. A few hours later, La’Mont returns home with his complete pack.

He enters his home with Malia in the living room watching cartoons on Cartoon Network and his mother making dinner in the kitchen. Malia gets off the couch and asks who the two new people are. Tanya and Matthew introduce themselves to her while La’Mont heads to the kitchen to speak with his mother. Isaac tries to follow him, but he tells him to stay in the living room and bond with the other betas. La’Mont walks in with a disappointed look on his face as he begin to speak with his mother.

He tells her that it’s time to deal with Jackson, and that it might require him having to fight and go through Scott. Georgene says that she’s warned him for months about dealing with the situation the way he’s been dealing with it. He says that he sees no other way to keep the city safe and that’s all he wants to do. She says that while his goal is admirable, it is truly worth fighting and potentially killing your best friend. This leaves La’Mont to further ponder and reflect on all his decisions over the last seven months. He says that he overheard the group saying Jackson stayed late after school to work out in the gym. And that he’s going to most likely walk home since everyone else is busy doing stuff and can’t be there to keep watch.

Georgene tells him that once he walks out that door with his pack, whatever happens, make sure no one gets killed unless it’s Jackson (if he truly poses a threat to everyone in the city). La’Mont joking says that by the time they get back, hopefully, dinner will still be warm and fresh. His mother promises that everything will be ready to go. He hugs her before heading back out to the living room. All of the betas are waiting for him at the front door. La’Mont tells Malia that she’s to stay present and keep watch on the house while protecting his mother. She asks why she can’t go, and La’Mont explains that her coming with them would reveal to the rest of his friends that Peter’s offspring has arrived to town. Posing more problems that don’t need at the moment.

Malia understands and says she has no problem staying put knowing the bigger picture. La’Mont thanks her and tells her to protect his mother with her life if things get dicey (As Jackson could possibly break through Kassidy Seidan potion and transform into his stage two form). The four werewolves leave the Valet residence and head into LJ’s car. Malia looks out the window and wishes La’Mont the best of luck as he backs out the driveway and pulls off driving down the road. At the school, Jackson exits through the back after leaving the weight room. La’Mont pulls up with his car, Isaac and Matthew hop out of the back and grab Jackson. Quickly pulling him into the car as he drives off.

Dirk watches from the woods across the parking lot, and calls Scott. Informing him that his suspicions were true and that La’Mont and his pack had kidnapped Jackson. Scott who is at his place with Allison, prepares to head out immediately alongside her. Half an hour later, Scott and his friends all meet up with each other at Kassidy’s. Albert informs the group that he was able to make a few different temporary solutions to keep Jackson’s reptilian side at bay. He warns that if La’Mont pushes him too far, it could spell disaster for everyone and a repeat of Los Angeles could take place. Scott vows to do whatever it takes to stop him and prevent that from happening. Albert asks Scott if he’s really prepared to kill his best friend if it comes down to that. Scott (picking up some of La’Mont tendencies) says that he’ll do whatever is necessary to keep the town safe.

Everyone gathers a copy of the serum from Kassidy, but he tells Lydia specifically to stay with him and help out. (This is a tease for the next chapter). Lydia asks why she was chosen to stay, and Albert says that he’ll explain why later. Scott, Derek, Dirk and Allison head back to Derek’s car and pull off heading towards the location La’Mont’s pack is at, following his scent. La’Mont and his pack arrive to the outskirts of town and pull up at the factory La’Mont mentioned previously during the previous night. Everyone exits the car with Jackson being dragged inside by Isaac and Matthew. La’Mont and Tanya walk towards the entrance together and they open the door to an open space with many destroyed items scattered all across the floor. La’Mont says this is the perfect place to do it (Kill Jackson).

Matthew throws Jackson several feet in the air tossing him over towards the middle of the floor. The pack all surround him in a circle, with the betas waiting for their command to attack and kill him. La’Mont begins to shift into his stage two form and walks up to Jackson, picking him up by the neck. He interrogates him with a series of questions demanding to know the truth behind what happened in Los Angeles and if he can truly control his power. Jackson pleads with him saying that although Kassidy gave him a temporary treatment, that he called his daughter in to help him create a permanent cure.

La’Mont further asks when Kassidy’s daughter will arrive in town, Jackson tells him by tomorrow morning. The alpha says to Jackson that he poses a danger currently and how waiting til tomorrow will help fix the solution. Jackson says that Kassidy told him as long as he’s not under any stressful circumstance, he won’t trigger his werecrocodile gene. La’Mont begins to see Jackson’s scelra change to the color of his werecrocodile eyes and immediately lets him go. His eyes then return to normal and he stands up off the ground. La’Mont sneers pissed off and says that Kassidy’s cure was a fluke, and that all it did was hold off the inevitable. He orders his betas to attack Jackson immediately and kill him before his transformation can trigger. The three begin to shift into their stage two forms (Tanya and Matthew for the first time - a very PAINFUL experience for both). Jackson closes his eyes and prepares to accept the inevitable (it gets VERY DARK as this is the first time he’s able to visually connect with his supernatural half and see all the pain and death he caused.)

As the betas are about to leap and tear into Jackson, Scott and the others arrive in the nick of time. He rushes through the locked front doors barrelling through them with his claws, and shifts into his stage-one form. The betas and La’Mont stop and focus on Scott and the others. Derek is also transformed; Dirk has his baseball bat and hockey mask, and Allison had her hatchet and throwing knives. La’Mont orders the three betas to take on Derek, Allison and Dirk while he finishes off Jackson himself. Scott screams at his friend and begs him to stop but La’Mont refuses to listen. This forces Scott to transform into his stage two form and rush towards him. La’Mont grabs Jackson by the head and lifts him off the ground, preparing to kill him the same way he killed Peter.

Scott jumps and tackles him down just in time before the final blow could be landed. He looks back yells at Jackson tell him to get out of the area and head home. La’Mont gets back up and roars fiercely to the point where his spark has become physical visible. He tells Scott to get out of his way and let him do what needs to be done. Scott yells at La’Mont and tells him that all he had to do was wait one more day and the situation with Jackson could have been completely dealt with. La’Mont tells him that Jackson was about to transform moments prior to their arrival, which to him meant Kassidy’s plan was a complete botch job. Scott refutes that claim saying that the only reason Jackson was about to transform is because La’Mont’s arrogance got them in that situation.

Growing increasingly frustrated, La’Mont tells Scott to get out the way or he’ll do what needs to be done. Scott replies telling him that he’s not going anywhere and that he’ll have to get through him if he wants to kill Jackson. La’Mont says that he never wanted things to get this bad but there isn’t a choice. He apologies to Scott telling him that although he didn’t want to lie to him (The events of the first book). He felt like he had no choice otherwise they’d all be dead and Peter would still be alive terrorizing the town. Scott says that he’s beginning to move past that as clinging onto the past hasn’t served him in a positive way at all. (The same voice from the end of Book One begins speaking to Scott). She tells him that there is no way he is prepared to win this fight. Scott tells her that it’s been months and that he’s well aware he isn’t strong enough to fight LJ one on one.

The voice says that although this isn’t the same life-or-death situation as Peter (She can’t give him access to his hidden powers). She can still verbally communicate with him and help give advice throughout the fight. La’Mont begins walking towards Scott flashes his claws in the process. Scott reciprocates the same actions as the two increase their speed and start running towards each other. Dirk is struggling with Matthew and Derek is holding his own well with Isaac. Derek takes Isaac down fairly quickly (Isaac is still inexperienced with fighting). He goes over to help Dirk and disposes of Matthew quickly as well. Allison is holding her own against Tanya, and manages to pierce her shoulder with her hatchet. Tanya gets angry and slash the upper area of Allison’s arm open. She wails in immense pain, which catches Scott off guard. Derek rushes over to Tanya and punches her in the face, instantly knocking her out cold. He then tends to Allison’s wounds (blood is gushing out of her arm fairly quick in streams).

With the Valet Malediction fully taking over, La’Mont is past all logical reasoning and fights Scott in a bloodlusted killer state. Scott notices this change and becomes dumbfounded about LJ’s instant switch in personality. The voice tells him to dodge as La’Mont blindly swipes multiple times at Scott, managing to hit Scott so hard he gets sent flying fast across the room. Scott quickly recovers, tapping into all the power his spark can produce, yelling at him and telling him to stop. He yells and tells him that Allison got badly hurt but La’Mont just roars and says that no one is leaving the factory alive. Scott scolds him asking what is wrong with him and questioning whether or not he really cares about his cousin. This further enrages La’Mont to the point where his eyes glow pure red, and he zooms over to Scott in the blink of an eye.

He grabs his head and picks him up, slamming him into the floor creating a huge hole and sending debris flying across the room. Derek shields Dirk and the injured Allison from the debris, and his shocked by the monstrous strength La’Mont poses as an Alpha. He questions why Scott chose to fight him and that there is zero chance he’s getting out of this winning. Scott jumps out of the hole, grabbing La’Mont from being by the neck and RKO’ing him to the ground. The impact shatters his ribcage slightly and he screams in immense pain. Scott gets up and steps on his stomach while he’s still on the floor, leaving La’Mont helpless as he screams from the growing pain. He roars and then yells at him to come back to reality and stop so they can help Allison.

La’Mont uses the remainder of his spark to fully repair his ribcage, shifting him back to his stage one form. He rushes off the ground sending Scott flying towards the ceiling. He jumps and grabs his leg, slamming it onto the floor, and breaking Scott’s left arm in the process. Scott screams in pain, prompting Allison to cry out his name. La’Mont then walks over and steps on his stomach, telling him to stop this. Scott says that he’ll never give up doing the right thing, and if that means killing his best friend. He’s prepared to do so, which leaves La’Mont at a loss for words (taking him out of the effects of the curse entirely). Scott using what strength he has left, knocks La’Mont off of him while he’s distracted. He leaps off the ground, and grabs La’Mont by the head, as he begins to squeeze it. (Flashbacks begin to play throughout his mind of their time together as children, and in middle school).

La’Mont wails from the pain, and uses the little energy he has left push Scott off him. Before Scott could let go, he manages to clutch onto his head with enough of a grip that his claws begin digging into his face near his left eye. La’Mont screams and Soctt manages to claw out his left eye (while giving him an X shaped scar). His other hand is still attached to the right side of his face and La’Mont using the final remnants of strength. Manages to use his left arm to slash upward at Scott’s right eye, digging into his skin and clawing out his right eye (Giving him an upward scar). Scott wails in pain and digs into La’Mont’s skin slashing down and clawing out his right eye (Giving him the same exact scar as Scott’s right eye).

The two werewolves are completely exhausted and fall to the ground bloodied and completely beaten down. Both have reverted back to their human forms, with La’Mont completely blinded and Scott clutching his now-clawed-out right eye. Blood gushing from the three respective eye sockets. Allison screams in horror at the sight of both her cousin and her boyfriend. She gets up and runs towards Scott, helping him off the ground. La’Mont tries to get a feel for his surroundings as he can’t see a thing and cries out for help. Allison after helping Scott get off the ground, begins walking away. La’Mont begs for his cousin to help him but she refuses and says that this was all self-inflicted. She calls him a lost cause and a monster and exits the building with Derek, Dirk, and Scott as they leave the area.

La’Mont begins to experience all the emotions he held back for several months all at once and begins to cry as he realizes he’s lost the people that matter to him the most. He is truly all alone now and he knows it’s all his fault. Isaac is the first of his betas to wake up and he notices his alpha crying out bloody years from his empty eye sockets, as he sits on the floor defeated. He gets up and rushes over to him, helping him up and walking him back towards his car. He tell him to hop in the back and that he’ll drive everyone back towards the house. He goes back in to grab Tanya and Matthew, places in the car as well and they leave the area heading back to the Valet residence.

At the Delgados (Derek had already dropped off Allison and Dirk home), Derek helps Scott inside the house and lays him down on the first couch in the living room. Eliza comes in from the kitchen and screams in horror at her son’s appearance. She immediately berates and yells at Derek thinking that he caused the injuries. Derek calms her down telling her that it was La’Mont and not him. She’s dumbfounded and confused because the two are best friends and doesn’t understand why he would harm her son. Eliza demands to know everything that happened and claims that she’s going to have a very serious conversation with Georgene.

Derek says that in order to know everything that happened, he and Scott are going to have to reveal the truth. Eliza asks what the truth is, and Scott wakes up (unable to heal his missing eye). He tells his mother that he’s sorry and begins crying. He tells her that she deserves to know everything and for the first time, reveals that he’s a werewolf. Eliza laughs it off but Derek shifts his eyes to their supernatural form and she drops to the floor in complete shock.

At the Valets, Isaac arrives back home, Tanya and Matthew are fully awake and recovered. La’Mont wakes up as well (he barely had enough energy from his spark to only heal his right eye), Isaac and Tanya help him out of the car and up to the front door. Matthew opened the door and the three get in teh house with La’Mont heading over towards the couch. Malia and Georgene come into the room from the kitchen and scream due to the sight of La’Mont. Malia runs over to La’Mont and grabs his face begging to know what happened to him. He doesn’t respond, and clutches his right eye as the regrowth of his eye caused massive pain. The other betas simply stand and sit in silence and watch their Alpha from afar. Georgene asks her son what happened and demands to know the details of how everything went. La’Mont lashes out in anger letting out all of rage towards his mother, and telling her he lost everything. She tells him that she warned him about going down this path last summer and he continues to let out all hs held in frustration and anger towards her. Malia steps in immediately and scolds him.

Telling him to immediately stop yelling at his mother and that he needs to respect her. La’Mont calms down and crys again, apologizing to his mother going up and hugging her. She tells him that everything is going to be alright and that it’s okay to cry it out. He tells her that he feels very weak, tired and mentally drained. He tells everyone goodnight, and heads upstairs to his bedroom. Tanya and Matthew take their leave, and head back to their respective homes. Isaac prepares his area of the living room for bed, and Malia prepares hers. Before everyone could head to sleep, Georgene speaks to Malia in private telling her that’s she’s very appreciative of her standing up for her and calling out her son. Malia says that it was the right thing to do and that she didn’t deserve him lashing out at her the way he did. Georgene says she understands why and lets Malia know that he’s been through a lot over the past year. Malia says that in the morning she’ll talk to him about it one on one.

She heads to be on the couch in the living room and Georgene heads upstairs. After a few hours, Malia finds it hard to stay asleep and feeling alone still. She decides to head upstairs to La’Mont’s room. After entering the room, she enters his bed, lays next to him and begins to look at him. La’Mont feels her presence and he turns around and freaks out asking her why she’s in his bed. Malia calms him down by telling him to be quiet, and she tells him that she can’t sleep.. La’Mont tells her to head back downstairs but Malia says that she feels so alone and that she can’t sleep another night by herself.

La’Mont caves, and lets her stay with him in the room. Malia checks up on him asking how he’s feeling and asking what happened at the factory. He tells her that he fucked up really bad, and lost his friends and his cousin, on top of getting his eyes clawed out by Scott. Malia offers her deepest apologies and says that if she was there, maybe she could’ve done something to prevent what happened. La’Mont tells her there was nothing she could have done, nothing was going to stop Scott and him from fighting, and that it needed to happen given there recent history. Malia tries to put all the blame on herself because she feels as though she couldn’t stopped her father sooner if she had activated her powers earlier.
