Chương 46: Unwanted Truth

Suddenly, Derek's body twitched in pain, his eyes uncontrollably becoming blue. Scott looked around in panic, then leaned forward, whispering to Derek: "Derek! Stop that!"

"That's what I've been trying to tell you, I can't!" Derek gritted his teeth in pain as he responded. Scott and Stiles grabbed him and quickly moved him into the car. Breathing heavily, Derek turned towards Scott.

"Scott! I need the same bullet if I want to survive!"

"How should I know where to get it?" Scott frustratingly asked him. Derek took a deep breath and spoke again: "There's only one family that I could think of that could be responsible for this, the Argents." Scott's eyes widened hearing this. He immediately thought of the new girl and her being close to Lucas.

"Allison?!" Stiles looked confused at him.

"Who's Allison?"

"It's the girl that was earlier with Lucas." Stiles nodded, then an idea came to mind.

"How about we ask Lucas for help?" Scott thought deeply, then nodded. They didn't have much of a choice.

"What are you guys talking about?" Derek's eyes rested on them, asking confusingly. Stiles and Scott looked at each other, then Stiles responded.

"Lucas and Allison are new in town. Allison's full name is Allison Argent, and Lucas knows stuff, like about the weird things going around here."

"Just get me the bullet!" Derek didn't have time to dwell on these matters. He could feel himself getting weaker with every breath he took. Scott then looked at Stiles.

"I'll try to find Lucas, you take Derek to a safe place." If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it. Stiles could only helplessly nod, then Scott quickly turned around. Scott looked around the parking lot, hoping to see Lucas, then he spotted his car. He quickly made his way towards it, only to see someone else waiting beside the car. It was Allison. His body froze for a second.

They had just talked about her family potentially being the one shooting Derek, and now she was in front of him. Allison, on the other hand, looked suspiciously at him. His reaction seemed rather odd, but she still asked:"Are you looking for Lucas?" Scott nodded rapidly. Allison turned her gaze toward his back. There, he saw Lucas only two meters away from him. Scott's body flinched slightly, then relaxed.

"Scott, what's up?" Lucas observed the tense Scott, faintly curious about why he looked so panicked. Scott looked towards Allison, then at Lucas. With Lucas' relationship with her, it was meaningless trying to hide anything.

"Derek has been shot." Lucas' eyes slightly widened for a brief moment before quickly returning to normal.

"And?" Scott's face twitched. Seeing him so unbothered, he could only helplessly reply:"We need a bullet similar to the one that shot him." Lucas nodded faintly, then responded:"I understand that, but why should I help? It's not like I know the guy." Scott's eyes widened in astonishment, but he quickly realized it was true. Lucas didn't have any connection with Derek.

"Please, Lucas, he would die if we don't help him." He could only stare at him, pleading with his eyes. Lucas observed Scott. Now he realized the true power of the future True Alpha: summoning help. He then looked at Allison, who was now dying to know what was going on. He could only give her a reassuring look. Then he concentrated his gaze back onto Scott again. He pondered for a moment before making his decision.

"I'll help, but it's going to take some time."

"Thank you, Lucas." Scott sighed in relief hearing his response.

"Just give me your number." Lucas watched Scott leave after giving him his phone number. Now Allison's attention was all on him. He could only briefly describe what was going on.

"So, the other werewolf besides Scott got shot? By whom?" Allison curiously asked. Lucas only looked at her without responding. His strange gaze and the silence he gave made Allison involuntarily think of someone.

"It can't be?" Her voice cracked a little.

"Was it my dad? I saw him last night saying he went to help Kate with a flat tire." Lucas didn't sugarcoat the answer.

"The most likely one that did that was your aunt Kate." Her face showed shock upon hearing about Kate.

"Kate's a hunter too?!" Lucas nodded, then replied:"Almost all of your family members are hunters."

"Maybe Derek had done something bad, and she tried stopping him." Allison frantically tried to make an excuse, not believing her beloved aunt would do such a thing without a reason. She then looked at Lucas with hope in her eyes, wanting to hear him agreeing with her opinion. But at that moment, she only saw a brief coldness, one that she had never seen him show before.

"Although Derek is not a nice guy, he's definitely not evil. Getting killed for nothing, on the other hand, that's evil." The moment Allison heard his response, her body trembled. She could hear what he implied. Allison saw that Lucas didn't seem to be close to Derek, but still defended him. Even thinking of the other option was unbearable. Suddenly, she felt his warm hands on her face.

"Allison, look at me!" She stared blankly at him, waiting for him to speak.

"Do you want to find the truth? Or just lie to yourself constantly?" His previous gaze disappeared. Now he gently stared at her, waiting for her answer.

"I…"
