Chương 55: Stalker

A few more days passed by. Lucas and Allison kept the same training schedule. On top of that, Allison now had to memorize the bestiary. Lucas rarely saw Scott and Stiles during this time. They seemed to be constantly looking for something. Right after class, he was dragged by them into a corner of the school.

"What's going on?" Stiles looked around, then lowered his voice and spoke:"Scott's boss may not be the alpha. We didn't find the scar you talked about."

"So?"

"So, now we're back to zero." With worry on his face, Scott spoke too.

"Lucas! Derek has started getting hunted by the Argents. Can you do something?" Lucas observed the troubled Scott and smiled.

"What do you think I can do? Tell the Argents to stop? Besides, you're not worried about him, are you?" Both looked slightly disappointed. Scott's face, in particular, was awkward.

"Yes! What if they find out about me?"

"It's just a matter of time, but there is a solution." Lucas said, as he stroked his chin thoughtfully. Both their eyes lit up with hope.

"Really?"

"Really." Lucas nodded.

"Of course, you call the police." Their hopeful expressions quickly faded away after hearing this.

"What do you think will happen if a hunter goes after a teenager? Will the police stand by?" Stiles looked thoughtful, then asked with worry: Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

"What if they attack the police?" Observing his face, Lucas knew what he was worried about.

"It's about your father, right? Most of the hunters will not clash with the police, but you need to look after the hunters with a badge." Both were stunned. Then Stiles remembered something.

"My dad told me some state detectives came in to help. Could it be?"

"It could be." Then Lucas gazed at Scott.

"If they ever find out about you, and they try to hunt you, you just need to tell me, and I will take care of it." Scott nodded hesitantly, but Stiles, on the other hand, was constantly analyzing him.

"You're like them, right? A hunter." Scott focused on Lucas when he heard this. Lucas observed Stiles' face. He knew that Stiles had suspected something about him for a long time. Before he could speak, Stiles continued.

"There's no point denying it. What happened that night, and your close connection with the Argents." Scott stiffened slightly after hearing this. He took a step back unconsciously. Lucas rolled his eyes seeing this. Now both of them stared at Scott with weird expressions.

"Relax, you haven't done anything wrong." Scott breathed a sigh of relief, but his face froze when Lucas spoke again.

"Yet…" Lucas smiled happily, watching him panic. Stiles then comforted him.

"Buddy, relax, he's just joking."

"No, not really." Now, even Stiles was staring blankly at him.

"The night of the full moon is closing in. He might kill somebody." Scott looked around in panic, then asked urgently.

"What should I do?!"

"The simple solution is to lock yourself up with some resistant chains." Lucas then patted his shoulder and left them alone, staring at each other in a daze. ==== After a few days, Scott started feeling the effects of the coming full moon. He became more irritated and disoriented.

"McCall! I know your secret!" It was Jackson, staring smugly at Scott. This sudden revelation made Scott stutter slightly.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Now it all makes sense. Your sudden increase in strength. There's no way you would be that good at lacrosse. I need you to get it for me too."

"What?" Scott responded flabbergasted.

"I don't care how. The bite or something else, whatever you call it, remember I want it too." Jackson stared at him with a smirk on his lips, then left. Scott's face darkened. His future would be even more grim. In the cafeteria, Scott was telling Stiles what happened earlier. While they were talking, Stiles pointed at a table. Jackson was observing them intently. Then his lips started moving. Scott frowned as Jackson whispered, trying to provoke him.

Looking at the increasingly frustrated Scott, Stiles comforted him.

"He's just trying to get in your head. Ignore him." Scott could only helplessly nod. At another table, Lucas looked annoyed at the smug Jackson.

"This annoying bastard doesn't even let me eat in peace."

"Who?" Allison looked at him curiously. Then Lucas pointed towards Jackson.

"What did he do?" Lucas looked at him, then at Scott in the distance.

"He found out about Scott, and now he wants to be bitten too." Allison observed Jackson and was slightly surprised hearing this.

"Will the alpha give it to him?" Lucas shook his head slightly.

"It doesn't matter if he gets bitten, but he needs to survive the bite." Looking at the doubt on her face, Lucas smiled.

"What? You didn't think that you just get bitten and suddenly become super strong that easily? There's a chance you could die." This made her sober up, realizing that the alpha was more dangerous than she thought.
