When here reached home and started meditating, he found a huge problem. After working out with the lacrosse team his strength doesn't seem to be grown even a bit. He know that his body has been adapted to the intense training he had done. So normal training was close to useless for him now.
While pondering about this he received a text from his dad to meet him downstairs.
After freshening up he went to the basement to meet Chris and couple of his friends.
As soon as Chris saw Max coming in he said with a frowning expression, "A news just came in."
"What is it?"Max asked.
Chris replied, "An alpha on the loose in Beacon Hills."
Max didn't have any change is expression, he just calmly said, "Looks like someone wants to carve their name here. This is gonna be a good hunt."
Chris didn't think that this was right, so he asked again, "Are you sure about this? This isn't anything like what you've faced before. It's faster and stronger compared to betas and omegas."
Max didn't flinch, "We hunt those who hunt us. You taught me this. You want me to turn my back, father?"
Chris didn't expect his son to be like this, so he agreed, "Okay, but only after fully preparing. And no solo this time. We're traveling in groups. Follow the chain of command. Don't fight it head on. You agree to this, then we have a deal."
Max thought about it for a minute and said, "Okay, I agree but I need something first."
"What is it?" Chris asked.
Max smiled and said, "Can you get me ankle weights and wrist weights?"
Chris frowned hearing this. He knew his son wouldn't ask anything unnecessary. But suddenly asking for weights was a bit unexpected to him. "Why do you what that?"
"Nothing. Just planned something creative. Just get me each of them varying from 10 to 20 pounds. And a box of nails too," Max said this without any change of emotion.
Chris finally sighed and agreed, "Okay. you'll get it by the end of the week. And from today you'll be coming with us at night for patrolling. I don't want you running off with your sister for partying and stuff. She doesn't know anything yet, so she'll be free for now. Those who knows the world are burdened by it. You took the mantle from me at a early age. You know what's out there, you need to be ready for whatever that comes towards you."
Max knew why his father was telling him this. Ever since he was young he was interested in these mystical creatures. He knew how dangerous the alpha is, but he could tell them that he is almost as strong as an alpha. He has to keep his secrets locked away.
Max suddenly thought of something and said, "I think we should tell Allison about everything. I mean she already suspects that we're hiding something. And I don't want her to learn this from Grandpa or Aunt. They're both lunatics. If I wasn't smart enough, I would've been turned into one of them."
Chris hearing this thought seriously and replied, "I know you mean well, but now isn't the time. Let her get used to the people here. We'll tell her slowly. I don't want you rushing things."
Max frowned hearing this and said, "I won't say anything for now, but try keeping Aunt and Grandpa away from her. If I hear that they're coming here, I'll break the news even before you know it."
Chris didn't know whether to agree to this or not, so he only said, "When the time comes, we'll see. Now get yourself ready."
Max nodded hearing this and walked away. Watching him walk away, Chris sighed, "Gerard, what did you try to do to my son? He seems to hate you two more than those wolves."
Others in the room didn't speak till now, but they knew that there Argent family is complicated, so they decided to shut themselves.
**
Max told Allison that he couldn't join the party because he was tired from the workout in the field today. Allison just humped once and didn't say much and went to the party.
Max went back to his room to check out his new costume. He decided to use a outfit similar to Black Goku, but instead of Gi he decided to switch up with Black leather jacket. After donning it he went downstairs to meet his father and his team.
As soon as he entered everyone have him a weird look, as he was not wearing the usual pants. He just said, "It's for better movement."
Nobody said anything after that, and they all went out to search for this berserk alpha running around in Beacon Hills.
**
While they were searching for their alpha, our little beta Scott is in his home with Stiles discussing about werewolves.
Scott managed to accept this new identity of his after meeting Derek on the way home.
Now what they were looking for is the identity of Max. Stiles was convinced that Max was a werewolf and a strong one at that. So he was searching books an online for information.
Scott on the other hand was thinking about Allison. And he suddenly rememberd about the party. And decided to get dressed.
Stiles watching him asked, "What are to doing?"
"Getting ready to go to the party."Scott said.
"Did you forget that there are werewolves and that Argent kid might be one of them?"Stiles
"Now I don't have time to think about that, buddy."Scott
"That new girl might be one of them too, you know that she's his sister, right?"Stiles
"Yeah yeah, but it doesn't change anything, right? If she's a werewolf then I might be able to get closer. If she's not a werewolf, then I could still have a change with her for a normal life."Scott
"I don't like where you're going with this, but try not to get killed by them."Stiles
Scott and Stiles argued for a while, at the end Scott decided to go to the party leaving Stiles in his home.
**
When Scott reached Lydia's home he saw Allison getting off her mother's car. He somehow managed to bring up the courage to go and talk to her.
Allison was getting off the car when she saw Scott coming towards her so she smiled at him. Soon Scott came to her and asked, "Isn't your brother Max coming?"
She knew he was just hitting up a conversation and she was unknowingly happy about that, so she replied, "He said he was tired because of the workout today at lacrosse field."
As soon as Scott heard this, he was instantly happy. For some reason he was still vigilant towards Max. But but that he's not here he decided to stick around her. so he said, "Think we could go together, because I don't have much friends in there."
Allison smiled at him and said, "Of course. Even I don't know anyone there except Lydia."
They both walked together to the house.
**
Lydia was waiting for her two new friends on the living room. Soon sure saw Scott and Allison walking in and chatting happily. She went to them and said, "So are you two, like, together now or something?"
Both of them at the same time replied, "No!" And again laughed at themselves.
Lydia saw this and said, "Well whatever you say."
