**The relationship between Human Huntress Allison Argent and Human Druid Emissary Alan Deaton.**

Allison and Deaton's interaction was short in the series but what could be said was that Deaton became the official Druid Emissary and mentor of the McCall Pack after Scott McCall, Allison's close friend and ex-boyfriend and Deaton's protégé, ascended to True Alpha Werewolf status. Deaton lectured Scott and his friends in how to proceed in battle against the threats in their hometown in Beacon Hills and taught them many things about the supernatural world. He assisted Allison, Scott and Stiles in performing the Surrogate Sacrifice Ritual in order to find the Nemeton and rescue their parents Chris Argent, Melissa McCall and Noah Stilinski before they were killed in the Darach Jennifer Blake's trio of guardian sacrifices that was meant to give her the power necessary to take down Deucalion and his Alpha Pack.

This continued on when the Nogitsune and Oni demons invaded Beacon Hills, with the Oni searching for the Dark Kitsune's host. When Stiles was revealed to be possessed by the Nogitsune, Deaton went so far as to travel to Japan to collect the rare Letharia Vulpina lichen to incapacitate the Nogitsune for a short time. Since this revelation, many battles ensued between the McCall Pack members, who strived to protect and save Stiles from his possession, and the Oni, who were being summoned by the Celestial Kitsune Noshiko Yukimura to vanquish the Nogitsune before it became too powerful to be defeated. However, the Nogitsune ultimately gained control over the Oni, allowing him to order them to attack Noshiko and the McCall Pack members, which included Noshiko's daughter Kira.

It was during this battle that Allison met her end when one of the Oni stabbed her in the chest and she died in the arms of her first love Scott. Fortunately, the Oni's vulnerability to silver was soon revealed when Allison forged several silver arrowheads and managed to kill one Oni with a silver arrowhead right before she died, allowing the McCall Pack and their allies to kill the remaining Oni with the other silver arrowheads while Scott and Kira neutralized the Nogitsune, with Scott biting the Dark Kitsune to change his host. Despite Allison having passed away, the McCall Pack (including Deaton) continued to honour her memory by protecting both humans and supernaturals from those with evil intentions, as according to the Code that she had created "We protect those who cannot protect themselves."

In 2026, Scott and Deaton were residing in Los Angeles and established careers there as owners of an animal shelter. They were soon confronted by a disturbed Chris Argent, who brought up the theory that Allison's soul was trapped in Bardo, the Buddhist state between life and death. He suggested a ritual to aid her soul in finding peace, even showing the Oni sword that took his daughter's life, but Deaton was concerned towards the repercussions of such ritual. Deaton soon discovered that the Nogitsune had been liberated from his prison and suspected Argent's intentions. Upon discovering that the Nogitsune had possessed Argent and tricked him and Scott, Deaton expelled the Nogitsune from his ally's body with Mountain Ash. Upon their return to Beacon Hills, they discovered Allison had already been restored and brought back to life by the Nemeton's mystical properties, only for her memories of her packmates being presumably gone.

Deaton was captured along with several of Scott's packmates and allies by the Nogitsune's Oni lackeys, who brought them to the Void's illusionary world to watch him claim victory over Scott. Unfortunately for him, Allison turned against him upon having her memories restored by Scott and Lydia Martin and the Oni were outmatched and destroyed by the McCall Pack members and their allies. Following the fiery deaths of the Nogitsune and Derek Hale at the hands of Jordan Parrish, Deaton and Allison were among the people who went to Derek's memorial service. Shortly afterwards, both of them returned to Los Angeles along with Scott and Derek's son, Eli, whom Scott and Allison took in as their ward, with Deaton continuing his job as an Emissary to offer them advice and wisdom.

## Throughout *Teen Wolf*

* Season 3A
* Season 3B
 In *Alpha Pact*, after Allison and Isaac were incapacitated by Argent in order to force them to allow the Darach Jennifer Blake to capture him, Allison and Isaac quickly agreed that they needed to get help. They ended up at the Beacon Hills Animal Clinic, where they met up with Alan Deaton and Stiles Stilinski, the latter of whom was released into Deaton's care due to his father Sheriff Stilinski being officially missing. The four then began to work together to brainstorm a way to find the Nemeton so that they could rescue and save Argent, Stilinski, and Melissa, who were all captured by Jennifer in preparation for her sacrificing them as her trio of Guardians.

Explaining what he and Lydia had learned that day by snooping through Alpha Pack Druid Emissary Marin Morrell's office at the high school, Stiles stated that he believed the Nemeton was at the very least on a telluric current, most likely at an intersection of one or more of them. Allison glumly pointed out that she knew her father and grandfather Gerard Argent had been there before, but when she asked Gerard about it, he claimed it was too long ago and he couldn't remember, adding that obviously, Argent was not in a position to help them as Jennifer's captive.

Stiles, also depressed over the capture of his own father Stilinski, agreed and pointed out he was in the same position, but Isaac was more concerned about how they were going to obtain the location of the Nemeton without the help of someone who had been there before. Deaton cryptically stated that he thought there might be a way to do so, but that it would not only be dangerous, but it would require them to get Scott McCall's help as well, a difficult task due to Scott promising to help the Alphas in exchange for their help stopping Jennifer.

Though Allison was not present when Deaton explained to Scott and Stiles what they needed to do to get the location of the Nemeton, she was still a major part of the plan that Deaton outlined. According to the Druid, Allison, Scott and Stiles would be surrogate sacrifices for their respective parents, dying temporarily and then being brought back to life through mystical means after a few seconds, if done correctly. There were many downsides to this plan though, including the fact that they would be inadvertently giving power back to the Nemeton, which had not been at full power in many years, and would thus draw supernatural creatures to Beacon Hills like a literal beacon; additionally, by dying and being reborn, they would develop a kind of darkness around their hearts that they would feel for the rest of their lives and which could cause complications later on.

Despite the risks, the three decided to go along with the plan, and they met back up with Deaton, Isaac, and Lydia Martin at the animal clinic, where they had prepared three steel tubs full of ice, water, and mistletoe. Deaton went on to explain that they would each need both a physical tether, or a type of totem to connect them to their parents, but they would also need an *emotional* tether in the form of a person who would essentially be drowning them and would also be able to draw them back to life.

Allison immediately assumed that Deaton would suggest she go with Lydia, but Deaton quickly stopped them and instead suggested she go with Isaac, having noticed the romantic chemistry developing between them. Since they both loved Scott, they were worried about how he may feel about one of his close friends dating his ex, but in spite of the shock of learning about their developing relationship, he gave them his blessing. Deaton then acted as Scott's emotional tether, leaving Lydia to act as the tether for Stiles. The tethers then stood behind the tubs of Allison, Scott, and Stiles, and after a long moment, held them all underwater until the three of them drowned, leaving Deaton, Isaac, and Lydia to look at each other in concern and confusion regarding what they do next.

## Trivia

* Allison and Deaton were both connected through their mutual relationships with Scott McCall, Allison's ex-boyfriend/close friend/packmate and Deaton's protégée and boss who was the Druid Emissary to the McCall Pack.
	+ As a result, Deaton was technically Allison's Emissary as well, due to her membership in the pack prior to her death.
* Deaton was affiliated with Allison's family even before Allison met him due to Argent and Gerard knowing he was the former Hale Pack Emissary and going to him to intimidate him into giving them information on supernatural occurrences.
