July 20 2002.
A month away before Drake, Derek, Paige, and Cassandra become a freshmen students.
The group if four is currently close at the border of the Beacon Hills, outside of the forest's back.
They're walking at what remains from a ghost town.
Wherever they look, they'll always see a broken, dusty, and burned houses.
And for some unknown reason, Drake were being attracted by something, somewhere in this place.
After continuously inviting Derek to go here with him, he finally agreed.
However, when the girls learned that they're going here, they too went with them.
"Hey guys look what I found!"
Cassandra yelled out to gain the other's attention before she pointed to the wooden trapdoor that was kept in tact.
The trapdoor were placed on the side of a big tree that was cut, in a position that was quite hard to see.
"I can feel it, it's in there."
Drake said after getting close to the trapdoor.
"Then let's go in!"
"Wait, let me do it."
Cassandra said excitedly and tried to open it up but Derek stopped her and did it instead.
When the trapdoor opened, it revealed an old wooden stairs that went downwards.
They all looked at each other and nodded before Derek entered, Cassandra followed him and then Paige.
The last one to enter is Drake, who looked left and right first, after making sure no one else is in the area, he walks in too.
When he reached the end of the stairs, he saw a big root of a tree.
Not only is the roots planted deep into the ground, but is also clinging onto the walls.
The tree is also tall enough to impale the ceiling and come out of the ground above, which were the one they saw earlier.
Drake then approached the others, who was looking intensely at the tree.
"What is this?"
Paige asked to particularly no one as she continue to blankly stare at the tree.
"Drake! Don't touch it!"
Drake subconsciously passed by the others and went directly to the tree, then reached out to it.
The moment he touched it he saw something.
"Ahh!!"
And as soon as he come in contact with it, a piece of a new memories penetrated Drake's mind and because of the sudden pain that came with those memories, he screamed.
Thankfully, Drake hurriedly took a few steps backwards and distanced himself from the tree.
And just like how the pain suddenly appeared, after distancing himself from the tree, the pain suddenly disappeared too.
After that, Drake panted and took a few minutes to completely calm his breathing down.
"Are you okay?"
As Paige patted Drake's back, she asked.
"Yeah, it's just... I saw something weird."
"What is it?"
Derek asked.
"A teenager just like us or older, running inside the woods with a bite mark on his right side."
Drake answered while looking at Derek, who frowned at the mention of the bite.
"What bite?"
"I don't know, I only saw a glimpse of it."
This time it is Paige who asked, and Drake answered her question too.
"Anyway let's get out of here, the sun is already at the other side of the planet.
So we need to go home soon or else our parents will became super saiyan."
Cassandra jokingly said after a few moments of confusion about what happened.
"Yeah, let's go."
After a little bit of laughter from all of them, Derek spoke.
They all nodded and started to head home.
•••
A few minutes before Drake and the others found the weird tree, at the country of Brazil, a group of teens, which were a bit older than Drake's, can be seen walking deep inside of a random forest.
After a few more minutes of walking, the teens found a group of tree that was connected to a large group of roots.
The roots are just like the one that Drake and the others had found.
However, unlike what the Drake pack found, this one is in an open area and not hidden in an underground basement.
"What is this..."
One of the four teens asked, as they all looked at it in awe.
They carefully took their step while avoiding the large roots, as they continue to walk forward.
And once they reached the center of the large group of trees, they found a tree that was cut in half.
"Azael stop!"
Suddenly, one of the teens yelled as she saw her crush walking directly towards the tree.
"Azael!"
However, as if he's a deaf, the teen named Azael continue to approach the tree until he came in contact with it.
And once he touched it, a huge amount of pain suddenly erupted from his head as memories of his origin comes back into his mind.
Because of this, Azael started to scream.
And while those memories are pouring in, he also saw a dark haired teen with green eyes screaming like he's doing.
After seeing the dark haired teen, Azael began to learn stuffs about him.
Stuffs like him being a born alpha, him being one of the sons of the strongest alphas, and him being a member of the Hale pack.
But because of the vision he saw as well as the memories he is recovering, Azael was forced to fall to the ground while holding his head in pain.
But soon after the pain disappeared, Azael absurdly stood up and yelled.
"I will kill you! Alex Salvatore!"
His shout is loud enough to make the crows fly away from their area and shocking enough to force the other two teen to run away.
"Azael..."
The only one left with him is the girl who has a crush on him.
"Join me, Loren. I promise, we'll always be together."
After being invited by the most important person, for her, Loren instantly agreed.
"Good, now let's begin our preparation, we have a born alpha to hunt."

'Scott McCall...'
While going back home, Drake thought to himself.
The new memories he got is about this teen.
This teen is a loser highschool student, a bench warmer at the lacrosse team and he also has an asthma.
However that suddenly changed when he was bitten by a werewolf.
And although he wanted to know why he saw the teen, that's all Drake got from this new piece of memories.
The reason behind the bite and what comes after that is still unknown.
And the most mysterious part is, why is he seeing this?
Is it just because of his memories from his past life or entirely something else?
'Which is it?'
While Drake is busy thinking about this, he didn't notice that they had already arrived at Paige's house.
"Bye."
Paige said to Drake before she kissed him in the lips.
Drake got out of his thinking and smiled at her before saying.
"Dream about me."
She smiled back before she went inside the house, with Cassandra.
"Let's go home."
"Alright~"
Derek said and Drake nonchalantly answered.

November 6 2002.
It has been two months since the new school year started, and so far Drake thinks this one might be the best of all.
The weird teacher, Mr. Rouk, is admitted to a metal health care, which Drake is thankful about.
This change was of course secretly done by Talia, which is something that Drake and the others have no clue of.
Even the said teacher himself had no idea of whoever send him away from the Beacon Hills.
As for their other teachers, they were all nice and kind, some are also easy to get along to, thanks to that their classes were going good too.
Derek even managed to became the ace player of the basketball school team.
And so far, the team have been winning matches after matches.
Because of that, after every match their coach would treat them for a dinner.
Sometimes even Drake and the others were invited.
And so, it can really be called the best school year so far.
And tonight, the group of four are relaxing on their little house.
Drake and the others named their group The Heart Catchers because well, they are all heart catchers.
They are not arrogant, just being honest.
But even if they are, it's not like anyone would say a thing about it.
After all, they all have a fan club of their own, which are prepared to protect them.
Their treehouse, on the other hand, was named the catcher's house or CH for short.
Which is pretty self-explanatory.
They settled with that name simply because they're too lazy to think of something better than that.
And right now, Derek and Cassandra are watching a movie inside the bigger treehouse, while cuddling of course.
Meanwhile, Drake and Paige were looking at the moon while hugging each other at the smaller one.
"You know what, I never get bored whenever I watch the full moon with you."
Paige said earning Drake's chuckles.
"And I never get bored whenever I'm with you."
He said as he placed his head onto Paige's left shoulder, she smiled and then stroke his hair lovingly.
"Baby, I need to tell you something."
After a few seconds of silence, Drake spoke in a soft voice.
"What is it?"
"Let's go, it's better if I just show it to you."
He carefully stood up then smile before he guided Paige and walked away from the treehouse.
After finding a place with a large enough space, Drake turned to Paige and hold her cheeks with his two hands and said, while their forehead is pressed with each other.
"Don't be afraid okay? I won't hurt you... Just watch me and I will explain everything to you after this."
Drake spoke softly with nervousness mixed on his voice.
Seeing that Drake is serious about the thing that he would show her, Paige nodded seriously and waited patiently.
"Stay there okay? Don't run or anything I won't hurt you I promise."
After taking a few steps back Drake spoke once again before he took a deep breath and started to remove him clothes.
When Paige saw Drake taking his clothes off, she got a bit mad and embarrassed but she still decided to watch what he's going to do... at least for now.
After putting his clothes at the side, Drake took a deep breath once more before he went on all four and started to shift.
Then his bones began to create a cracking and forming sounds from his body, his limbs changed from a human's into a pair of wolf's paws.
His size grew bit by bit 'till it reach a height of 8 feet and 7 inches.
And after a few more seconds a big black wolf now stands at where Drake previously is.
"O-oh my go-god..."
Paige stuttered severely as she stares at the red eyes of the wolf.
