Teen Wolf: Alpha Reborn

The next morning, Parrish woke up and found Lydia sleeping in a chair next to his bed. He felt thirsty and reached for a glass of water on the nightstand, but he accidentally shattered the glass. 

Lydia stirred and opened her eyes. "You're finally awake." She said, her voice laced with relief. 

Parrish winced. "Sorry for waking you up. By the way… why am I naked?" 

Lydia smirked. "Your clothes burned away when the Hellhound took over your body." 

Parrish frowned. "What exactly happened to me?" 

Lydia sighed, sitting up. "After Stiles absorbed the Hellhound's powers, the Hellhound inside you died. But you were dying too… We didn't know if you were going to survive." 

Parrish's eyes widened. "Then why am I still alive? And why do I feel… stronger? My hearing, my sense of smell, it's all sharper." 

Lydia explained. "Scott gave you the Bite to save your life. So even though we killed the Hellhound that was possessing you, you're now a real supernatural creature. And I think…" She met his gaze. "you're still a Hellhound. I can still feel that connection with you." 

Parrish blinked. "What connection?" 

Lydia gave him a small smile. "I'm a Banshee, and like a Hellhound, I'm a harbinger of death. We're similar creatures." 

Parrish took a deep breath, trying to process everything. "I see… So what happens to me now? Am I still going to black out and wake up in strange places? Am I going to hurt people?" 

Lydia shook her head. "No. You were blacking out before because you were possessed, and no, you won't hurt people or lose control. Since you're part of our pack now, let me explain what that means and tell you about our special abilities." 

Lydia spent some time explaining everything to him, making sure he understood his new reality. When she was done, she stood up and pointed toward a pile of clothes. "Scott left some clothes for you to wear. You can take a shower and come find us in the kitchen." 

Parrish nodded, still feeling overwhelmed but grateful. After showering and getting dressed, he headed to the kitchen, where the pack was gathered around the table, having breakfast together. 

Scott looked up as Parrish walked in. "Not only did you survive." He said with a smirk. "But Lydia said you turned into a Hellhound." 

Parrish rubbed the back of his neck. "She said I'm probably a Hellhound. I tried to shift, but nothing happened." 

Scott nodded. "You might have to wait until your first full moon." 

Stiles, who had been listening, stepped forward and summoned a small flame in his palm. "Try touching the fire." He said. "If you're a Hellhound, it won't burn you." 

Parrish hesitated. "And if I'm not?" 

Stiles shrugged. "You're a shapeshifter now. You'll heal." 

Parrish took a deep breath, then reached out and placed his hand into the flames. Nothing happened. 

Stiles grinned. "Well, that settles it. You're definitely a Hellhound." 

Scott stepped closer. "Parrish, Lydia already explained what it means to be in my pack. So… are you willing to be one of us?" 

Parrish didn't hesitate. "Yes. She told me you guys are the guardians of this town, and I want to be part of that." 

Scott smiled. "Great. Then welcome to the pack." 

Allison spoke up. "By the way, Lydia, did your crows find that Ice Woman yet?" 

Lydia shook her head. "Not yet, but I ordered them to keep looking." 

Parrish furrowed his brows. "I remember what she looks like. I'll go help the Sheriff search for her." 

Scott nodded. "Good. Stiles, drive him to the sheriff's station after breakfast." 

Just then, Derek and Aiden walked into the kitchen. 

Stiles took one look at Aiden, who had bruises covering his face and was limping slightly, and smirked. "Derek didn't go easy on you, huh?" 

Aiden groaned as he sat down at the table. "Like I said before, as long as I can join the pack, I'm willing to do anything." 

Derek glared at Boyd before turning to Cora. "I'm going to Mexico with Peter to retrieve our mother's claws. Are you coming with us?" 

Cora frowned. "Who took her claws?" 

"The Calavera family." Derek replied. 

Cora nodded. "Okay, I'm coming with you." 

Stiles raised an eyebrow. "Who are the Calavera family? Another pack?" 

Allison shook her head. "No, they're hunters. My mom told me about them. They're led by an old woman named Araya Calavera." 

Derek looked at Scott. "I might end up fighting them. Things could get ugly. Do you have a problem with that?" 

Scott smirked. "Ask nicely first. But if they refuse… teach them a lesson." 

Derek nodded before turning back to Cora. "Let's go." 

Cora asked. "Where's Peter? And why are you bringing him with us?" 

Derek smirked. "He didn't want to come here. He's still afraid of Scott after seeing him in his full werewolf form with fire all over his body the day we fought Deucalion." He paused before adding. "As for why I'm taking him… He's the one who wants the claws." 

Boyd spoke up. "I'm going with you guys." 

Derek shook his head. "No, you're not. This is a private matter." 

Boyd clenched his jaw. "Cora is my girlfriend. I'm going." 

Cora sighed, walked over to Boyd, and kissed him softly. "I'm going alone with Derek." 

Boyd frowned. "But..." 

Cora smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. I'll be fine." 

Derek smirked, satisfied, until Boyd suddenly pulled Cora into a deep kiss, right in front of him. 

Derek growled. "Damn it, Boyd!" 

Stiles burst out laughing. Derek shot him a glare, but Stiles just shrugged. "Don't look at me, man. I'm not the one French-kissing your sister." 

Derek huffed and stepped forward, pulling Cora away from Boyd. As he dragged her toward the door, he called over his shoulder. "Aiden, you're coming too. I'm not done beating you yet." 

Aiden groaned. "Damn it. At least let me eat something first!" 

Derek smirked. "Let's go." 

Aiden sighed, stuffed a pancake in his mouth, and reluctantly followed. 

Melissa clapped her hands. "Alright, kids, go to school. You're going to be late." 

Scott said. "Mom, don't forget the Yukimuras are coming for dinner tonight." 

Melissa smiled. "I won't." 

After grabbing their school bags, Stiles and Malia drove Parrish to the sheriff's station while the rest of the pack headed to school. 

--- 

After a long, uneventful day at School, Scott and his pack gathered in the parking lot. 

Lydia suddenly said. "Guys, I think one of my crows found the Yuki-onna. But she's not wearing white, though." 

"Then how do you know it's her?" Stiles asked. 

Lydia shrugged. "I just know. And we need to hurry, she's with a man, and they're heading into the woods." 

Scott said. "Alright. Lydia, Allison, you two go after her. Stiles, go with them in case they need your fire ability. You guys should run there, it's faster than driving." 

Malia stepped forward. "I'm going too." 

Allison turned to Scott and kissed him. "I'll see you at home. Wish me luck." 

Scott smiled. "Good luck." 

Allison then turned to Lydia. "Lead the way." 

Lydia nodded. "Follow me." 

Without another word, she blurred forward at supernatural speed. Allison, Stiles, and Malia took off right behind her.
