I woke up feeling incredibly upbeat the next day as it was the day of my very first date with Allison. I leapt out of bed, prepared myself a delicious breakfast, and then enjoyed a refreshing bath.
After luxuriating in a lengthy shower, I made my way to my closet to carefully select the perfect outfit. After a few moments of rummaging through my clothes, I eventually found the ideal ensemble for the occasion.
I texted Allison to see if she's ready and when got my confirmation I get in my car and drive to Allison's house.
______________________________________________
After Allison replied to Astrid, confirming that she was ready, she carefully placed her phone in her bag. Taking one last look in the mirror, she wanted to make sure everything was just right before heading out.
"Alright, Allison, just calm down. It's just a date with an incredibly beautiful girl who also happens to be a werewolf and is meant to be your partner for life. Just try to act natural... Well, who am I kidding? There's nothing normal about any of this!" she nervously rambled.
After checking herself again just to make sure she went downstairs where she saw her father in the living room.
"Allison, you going somewhere?"
"yes, um Astrid and I are going out, how do I look"
"So you and Astrid huh "
"yeah," she said a small blush forming on her cheeks.
"Alright, I'll allow you to date this girl. She seems like a nice girl, but I want you back at 8 pm," he said seriously as the doorbell rang.
"That's her I got to go," she said as she went to open the door.
As Astrid gazed at Allison, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, you look absolutely gorgeous!"
"Thank you, you look beautiful yourself,"
"you ready to go?" Astrid said as she holds out her right hand.
"yes" Allison replies with a smile as she intertwines their fingers.
Later in the day, they decided to unwind by heading to the local cinema to enjoy the latest blockbuster. Following the movie, they strolled through the bustling mall, exploring various stores and indulging in some retail therapy. As the day drew to a close, they savored a delightful dinner at one of the mall's eateries, savoring the flavors and sharing stories. Finally, as the sun dipped below the horizon, I accompanied Allison back to her home, ensuring she reached her doorstep safely and content after a fulfilling day.
"Today, was fun we should do this again sometime," Allison confesses as they reach the front door.
Astrid flashed a bright grin as she replied, "Yeah, I enjoyed it very much as well." She gently pulled Allison towards herself, her hands gracefully wrapping around Allison's waist. Allison let out a soft giggle and reciprocated by placing her hands around Astrid's neck.
Astrid leaned forward and captured Allison's lips with her own with Allison kissing back. After an intense make-out session, they separated both panting from the lack of air.
"Wow"
"Yeah," They both said blushing.
"I'll uh see you tomorrow at school, so uh good night," Allison said with a beaming smile as she closed the door.
"Good night" Astrid replied with a stupid grin on her face and blushing cheeks as she went to her car and drove home smiling all the way.

"So you killed her," Stiles asked Scott as they entered the school.
"I don't know I just woke up. I was sweating like crazy, and I couldn't breathe I've never had a dream like that before" Scott answered.
"Really because I have usually, it ends a little differently."
"A; I meant I never had a dream that felt that real and, B; never give me that much detail about you in bed again."
"Noted. Sigh! let me take a guess here though..." Stiles said but Scott cut him off.
"I know you think it has something to do with me and Maya going out tomorrow like am gonna lose control and rip her throat out"
"no of course not," Stiles says until Scott gives him a look, "Yeah, that's totally it, hey come on it's gonna be fine alright. Personally, I think you're handling this pretty freaking amazingly you know it's not like there's lycanthropy for beginners class you can take." He tells Scott.
"Yeah, not a class but maybe a teacher"
"Who Derek," Stiles asks in disbelieve as he hits Scott in the head. "Are you forgetting the part where we tossed him in jail"
"Yeah, I know but chasing her down, dragging her to the back of the bus it felt so real."
"How real?"
"like it actually happened," Scott says as they push open the door to come face to face with a wrecked school bus blood everywhere and police securing the area.
"I think it did," Stiles says.
______________________________________________________________
(Astrid's pov)
After eavesdropping on Scott and Stiles' hushed conversation, I made my way through the bustling hallways towards my locker. The familiar clatter of students and the distant hum of chatter filled the air. Just as I reached for my books, the voice of the principal reverberated through the school speakers, commanding everyone's attention."
"Attention students this is your principal speaking, I know some of you are wondering about the incident that accord last night on one of our buses but while the police work to determine what happened classes will proceed as scheduled." The students groaned in displeasure as they headed to class.
'Maybe it's time I formally introduced myself to Scott' I thought as I entered chemistry class.
The class carried on as usual, with Scott and Stiles engaged in conversation while Mr. Harris stepped in to separate them. Suddenly, a shout rang out as the paramedics discovered someone, prompting Scott to panic, convinced that he was responsible. It was quite an amusing spectacle.
As lunchtime approached, I found myself seated with Allison.
"So the Alpha strikes again," She asked.
With a heavy sigh, I acknowledged, "This is the second occasion, and we're still quite a distance from uncovering his identity."
"Don't worry too much about it. You'll catch him eventually. What about Scott? You said he was bitten by the alpha," Allison asks.
"So far, he hasn't been hard to handle, but I think the alpha called him against his will last night. He didn't remember what happened; he thinks it was just a dream."
"Do you think he did it?" she asked me referring to the incident.
"I don't know yet which is why I'm heading to Derek after school," I said.
"Are you going to help him learn"
I expressed a deep sigh as I remarked, "I'm going to have to. If he keeps behaving like this, he's going to end up harming someone, possibly someone he cares about deeply." As I spoke, we both glanced a couple of seats behind us, where Scott and Stiles were engaged in conversation.
Lydia came up to us and asked, "Do you guys have plans for tonight?"
"No why?" Allison said with a questioning look.
"Good because Jackson and I are going bowling and I thought we could make this a double date, so are you guys up for it"
"Yeah, sure it could be fun," I tell her just as the bell rang ending lunch break.

After my classes ended for the day, I made my way over to the Hale House to meet up with Derek and have a conversation about the events that had unfolded the night before. As I approached the familiar house, I noticed Derek sitting casually on the front steps, lost in his own thoughts.
"You heard what happened last night?" I asked him.
He nods, "Yes, the Alpha attacked again"
"Yeah and this time he took Scott with him. From what I heard him tell stiles he thought it was a dream until he saw the scene of the incident. He's gonna come to you for help you know"
"Yes and I'm gonna give him what he wants but it's not gonna be free. What about you?"
"What about me," I asked confused.
"You're an Alpha yourself don't you want a pack"
"I already have a pack even though they're scattered around the world, plus I have 2 new members here,"
"Yeah, who are they"
"Allison and you"
"Me, you consider me as your pack member" He said surprised and touched.
"Of course I do, I see you as a little brother and how else do you think we share that mind link when I shift fully," I told him with a smile. He stood up and gave me a tight hug.
"Thank you"
"You're welcome," I said. As I embraced him, I felt a sense of warmth and comfort. Our tender moment was abruptly halted by the sound of a car pulling up to the house. We reluctantly let go and made our way to the window, where we were taken aback to see a police car parked in front of the house, with a canine companion seated in the back.
The officer got out of the car he walked around the car and stood in front of the house.
"looks pretty deserted dispatch uhh did you want me to take a look inside," He said to the radio looking like he doesn't want to be here.
"Unit 16 It's county property orders to make sure it's vacant" he was told.
"I don't-I don't think anyone's home," He said hesitantly.
"For the love of god, 16 go inside and make sure no ones in there"
"Copy that," He said. Steeling his nerves he walk towards the house slowly. The dog barks scaring him as he turns around.
"Don't do that," He tells the dog before turning to the house. Derek and I looked at each other before smirking as our eyes glowed blue and red respectively while we focused a bit of killing intent on the dog. He started freaking out barking loudly scaring the officer even more until he ran back to the car and drove away.
After the car left we saw Scott walk out of the woods standing a bit away from the house.
"I know you can hear me. I need your help" He says walking towards the front door. Derek goes down and opens the door and stands in front of Scott.
"Okay I know I was a part of you getting arrested and we, basically announced you being here to the hunters also I don't know what happened to you're sister but I think I did something last night. I had a dream about someone but someone else got hurt and it turns out that part of the dream might have actually, happened" Scott says.
"You think you attacked the driver," Derek asks
"Did you see what I did last night"
"No"
"Can you at least tell me the truth am I gonna hurt someone"
"Yes"
"Can I kill someone"
"yes"
"Am I gonna kill someone"
"Probably"
Scott leans on the post next to him looking defeated.
"look I can show you how to remember, I can show you how to control the shift even on a full moon but it's not gonna be free," Derek tells him. I feel sorry for Scott I, really do he was thrusted into a world he knows nothing about with no one to teach him and now he's suffering the consequences. 'I'm gonna have to teach him but first I've got a date to get ready for' I thought as I fully shifted and told Derek I'd see him later through our mind link before leaving from the back of the house.

At Allison's, While getting ready for their group date, Lydia assisted Allison in choosing an outfit. Lydia strolled over to Allison's dresser and carefully sifted through her collection of clothes to find the perfect ensemble .
"Pass, pass, pass on all of them, god Allison the respect for your choice is dwindling by the second," She tells her before picking up a black tank top, "This one,"
Allison takes it and presses it against herself while looking in the mirror. Chris walks into the room putting on a jacket.
"Dad! hello?"
"Right. I'm sorry I completely forgot to knock,"
"Hey, Mr Argent," Lydia greets him which he returns.
"Did you need something?"
"I just want to say that you'll be staying in tonight,"
"What, I'm going out with my friends tonight,"
"Not when some animal's out there attacking people," he says seriously.
"Dad I....." But she gets cut off by her dad.
"aye, aye, it's out of my hands besides there's a curfew no one's allowed past 9 pm," He says as Allison throws the tank top on the bed. "Hey no more arguing," with that he left.
"Hmm, someone's daddy's little girl," Lydia said.
"Sometimes, but not tonight," she said as she opens her drawl and takes out a beanie and wears it. She opens her window and walks on the roof.
"What are you doing," Lydia asks her as she jumps and with a flip, she lands on her feet.
"8 years gymnastics, are you coming," Allison says a bit out of breath.
"I'll take the stairs" With that, they left for the bowling alley where they'll meet up with Astrid and Jackson.
____________________________________________
In the first round of bowling, Lydia bowled first with some help from Jackson, even though she didn't really require it. After Lydia, it was Allison's turn. Allison looked absolutely adorable as she concentrated on her turn. With a determined look, she rolled the ball down the lane and managed to knock down all the pins with a perfect strike.
"Someone brought their A-game," Lydia said impressed.
After Allison took her turn and scored a strike, it was Jackson's turn, and he also managed to get a strike. Then, it was my turn to roll the ball. This series of turns continued until the game concluded, with Allison and I emerging as the winners. Following the game, I escorted Allison home.
"That was fun I didn't know you knew how to play bowling," Allison said as we got out of the car.
"I think you're forgetting that I was there when the game was invented," I said with a smirk.
"Right I keep forgetting that you're 1000 years old. I've got a confession to make"
"And that is?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around her waist.
"I'm not big on group dates so next time just the two of us"
"I can handle more of that," I said before kissing her. As she stepped into the house, a contented smile graced her lips, and I made my way back home in my car. Once there, I transformed into my wolf form and dashed towards the Hale House.
Before arriving at the house, I spotted the Alpha heading in the same direction. He hadn't noticed me yet, so I tackled him.
He crashes into a tree, staggers to his feet, and pivots to face me. A low growl escapes his lips before his eyes widen in shock as he realizes that my wolf form towers over him by a full head, a sight that brings a hint of amusement to my eyes.
I shifted back to my human form. " So you're the psycho Alpha werewolf that Derek's been looking for huh, to be honest, I thought you'd be scarier" He growls at me when I said that, "Well it doesn't matter, I'm gonna give you a list of people that are under my protection, meaning if you even put a scratch on them you'll suffer a fate worse than death," I told him seriously with my eyes glowing.
"Who do you think you are to order me around little girl I AM THE ALPHA," He said with a deep demonic voice.
"Oh so you can talk that's surprising with how much you act like an animal," I said, mocking him. With a roar, he lunged at me, swiping his clawed right hand at me, which I avoided and punched him in the face with enough force to launch him to a boulder a few feet away while shattering his jaw. He rolled around in pain as his face healed.
"Well that was anticlimactic I expected more from the big bad Alpha"
"What are you?" He asked me with a bit of fear in his eyes.
"That's for me to know and for you to dot dot dot. So are you ready to listen to my proposal?" He nodded reluctantly "You kill only the ones involved in the Hale fire namely the ones your hunting including a curtain Kate Argent and only them, do I make myself clear. You extend more than the people involved, then the hunter becomes the hunted"
After I said that I turned around to go back to where I was going but Peter decided to test his luck and go for a sneak attack. He lunged at my back until I turned around and plunged my hand into his chest wrapping my fingers around his heart.
"DO NOT TEST ME" I ordered as he shifted back from the unimaginable pain he was feeling his face full of fear. I took out my hand from his chest, he fell to the ground as the wound in his chest started healing.

{3rd pov}
While Astrid was finished terrorizing the alpha another fight was finalized at the Hale house with Scott groaning in pain on the ground and Derek standing above him.
"I didn't kill him neither of us did it's not your fault and it's not mine," Derek said.
"This, this is all your fault, you ruined my life," Scott says angrily.
"No, I didn't"
"you're the one that bit me"
"No, I'm not"
"What?" Scott asks in disbelief.
"I'm not the one that bit you"
Scott looks shocked but then he starts remembering what happened last night completely.
"There's another," He says stunned.
"It's called an alpha it's the most dangerous of our kind you and I, we're betas this thing is more powerful, more animal than either of us. My sister came here looking for him and now I'm trying to find him but I don't think I can do this without you" Derek tells him seriously.
"Why me"
"Because he's the one that bit you, you're part of his pack it's you, Scott, you're the one he wants" when Derek said that they both heard something walking towards them. Derek smiled a little as he knew who it was while Scott looked alarmed just then a huge 6,5ft pitched black wolf with red glowing eyes entered the house.
Scott jumped out of the couch as his face morphed and his eyes glow golden orange.
"Is that the alpha" Scott asked with a bit of fear in his voice.
"Yes, but not the one we're looking for," Derek tells him with a smirk.
"There's two of them" Scott shouts as he sees the wolf shift back into someone he saw at school with Allison Argent.
"You," he says in surprise with his eyes going wide.
"Hello, boys," she says with a smirk.
