Chương 119: Resurrection

The next morning, sunlight broke through the windows and shone directly on their faces. Allison was lying on his chest while observing his sleeping expression. Lucas slowly started waking up too. When he saw her staring at him, he smiled.

"Too handsome?" She replied by giving him a peck on the lips, then wrapped the bedsheet around her body and went to the bathroom. Lucas stared at her back until she entered and smirked. After he dressed up, Allison came out of the bathroom.

"Today is Lydia's birthday. Do you want to go together?" She wiped her hair while looking at him. Before answering, he gestured for her to sit in front of him, then began drying her hair.

"We can go, there's also a full moon tonight." She frowned and glanced back at him.

"Should we do something?" He gently tapped her head, making her look slightly annoyed.

"What should we do? Kill everybody? You're too aggressive." He shook his head as if disappointed with her. Allison gasped as she couldn't believe his shamelessness. She wasn't even thinking of that.

"You know I didn't mean that!" He gently rubbed her nose, then looked towards the window.

"We are hunters, not heroes. Just figure out what to buy for Lydia." ••••"Ding!"

"Coming!" As soon as Lydia opened her door, she saw Allison and Lucas. When he glanced at her, her body stiffened slightly, then relaxed, and she looked at the drinks in her hand.

"Welcome!" Allison gave her a quick hug and handed her the gift. Lucas just nodded at her and observed her carefully.

"Here! I made them myself!" Lydia excitedly gave them each a drink, then invited them in. Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. Just as Lydia went somewhere else and Allison was about to drink, Lucas suddenly stopped her.

"What's going on?" He grabbed her glass and threw the liquid into the pool, then he did the same with his own.

"There's wolfsbane in it." His revelation made her look at the glass in shock.

"But why?! And I'm human." He shook his head and entered his teacher mode.

"There's a shapeshifter here, and wolfsbane can be fatal for humans too. It can even cause hallucinations." He pointed towards the end of the crowd, where Scott and Stiles were talking and drinking. Then he pointed towards the wild crowd, where some had already begun acting strangely. Now that he had mentioned this, Allison began observing the people very carefully, but she still had a doubt in her mind.

"But why would she do this?" He pointed his finger towards Scott and Stiles, making her look at him in doubt.

"Who said that she did it willingly?" Just then, he sensed that Lydia was leaving the house.

"I need you to watch over them. Don't let them die. I'll explain it later." Allison nodded in doubt, then watched him leave. After half an hour of watching them, Stiles was already sleeping beside the pool, and Scott ran into the house, sweating all over. When she walked over and checked Stiles, she was relieved to see him still breathing. As for Scott? She was pretty sure that Lucas was more worried about Stiles than about him.

•••• Just by the Hale house, a figure was slowly approaching while dragging something behind it. When the moonlight shone on that spot, Lydia's face became clear, and at her feet was Derek's body. She dragged his body straight inside, stopping right beside a hole. Inside the hole was Peter's body, with a hole in his chest. Derek could barely see anything and had no strength to stop her. Paying no attention to him, Lydia placed his hand in Peter's claws and shifted the mirror slightly.

The moonlight hit several other mirrors and shone directly on Peter's body. Suddenly, his eyes opened and his claws dug deeper into Derek's arm.

"Ahh!" Derek screamed as the red spark in his eyes faded. Just at that moment, Lydia started crying as she watched Peter getting up. She couldn't believe what was happening. Peter's eyes slowly drifted towards them, and a smirk appeared on his face.

"I heard that there was a par…"

"Smack!" A sudden smack to the back of the neck made Peter's head slam directly into the ground.

"What's with these villains? Always giving speeches." Lydia and Derek looked at Lucas in shock. Seeing her state, Lucas knelt on the ground and wiped her tears.

"I told you that you needed help." He then glanced at the helpless Derek and began smacking his face lightly. Derek's eyes were filled with fury and resignation. Now he expected Lucas to kill him. But when the tapping stopped and he saw Lucas paying no more attention to him, he was filled with doubt and relief. In the meantime, Peter had already gotten up, his face ferocious as he glared at Lucas. Lucas merely smiled at him.

"You're not an alpha anymore." Peter grinned, and his claws came out.

"No! But I can still fight like one!"
