Teen Wolf: Alpha Reborn-Chapter 139: The Bait

After Scott and the pack finished their school day and night fell, they drove to the address sent by the vampire Stiles had taken control of earlier that morning.

The location turned out to be a house on the outskirts of town. They parked their cars nearby, and soon, the vampire under Stiles' control stepped out of the house to greet them.

When Scott and the pack entered, they found fourteen vampires inside, lounging around and in good spirits. They were expecting some sort of surprise, just as the controlled vampire had promised them earlier.

But their smiles quickly faded as realization hit, it was a trap.

When the vampires tried to escape, it was already too late.

Scott and his pack took them down with ease, not letting a single one get away. Lydia paralyzed all fourteen, and after reading their memories, they learned that all of them had been turned by a woman named Karen, but none of them knew where she was.

Stiles attempted to take control of them like he had done before, but managed to control only nine.

He turned to Scott and said. "Looks like I can only control twenty people at once. Ten from the nightclub... and now ten today, that's my limit."

Isaac frowned. "So what do we do with the five you can't control?"

Scott shrugged. "Absorb their powers... and kill them."

Lydia stepped forward. "We call dibs."

Erica grinned. "Yes, yes. Let us girls take their powers. There are six of us, but Kira hasn't gone through her first full moon yet, so she can't absorb anything yet."

Malia scoffed. "What's all the fuss about? They're weak. The only power they have is compelling normal humans, which is useless. Even if you got lucky and absorbed it, that ability wouldn't mean much."

Lydia shook her head. "That's not what I'm after. What I want is their ability to stay young forever."

Stiles raised an eyebrow. "We don't need that, Lydia. We're shapeshifters. The stronger we get, the longer we live. We won't age for a long, long time. I mean... how long do you guys think we'll live?"

Scott shrugged. "I don't know. Either way, let's deal with these five. Stiles, tell the others under your control to inform us the moment Karen shows up."

Stiles nodded and gave the command.

The pack then brought the five vampires back to the ranch. There, Allison, Cora, Lydia, Erica, and Malia absorbed their powers. Afterward, Scott and Stiles executed the vampires by stabbing them in the heart with sharpened wooden stakes. Then they used their fire ability to reduce their bodies to ash.

Three days passed with no new vampire sightings.

It was nighttime. After dinner with the pack, Scott and Allison strolled toward the lake house.

Scott glanced at her. "What's on your mind? You've been thinking about something since this morning."

Allison hesitated. "I... I feel like someone's been watching me. Not just today, this started two days ago."

Scott narrowed his eyes. "Really? I didn't sense anything."

"It only happens when you're not around." She said. "Or maybe it's just my imagination."

Scott stopped walking. "No. You should trust your instincts."

Allison frowned. "Then who's following me?"

Scott gave her a playful grin. "Well, considering how beautiful you are, maybe it's some creepy stalker with a crush. Maybe I should kill the bastard."

Allison smirked. "Be serious." free𝑤ebnovel.com

Scott paused, thinking. "Whoever it is... they're clearly avoiding me. If they're only following you when I'm not around, they're either scared of me or don't want to get caught. It could be the vampires. Maybe they're planning to use you against me, thinking you're just a Beta... or even a normal human."

"That's possible." Allison admitted. "So how do we find out for sure?"

Scott nodded slowly. "You said it started two days ago. If they really want to catch you... maybe we give them an opportunity."

Allison's eyes lit up. "How about tomorrow, after school, I go into the woods alone as bait?"

Scott quickly shook his head. "No. Don't go alone. That's too suspicious. Go with Lydia and Erica. Just act natural. Don't look around or spook whoever's following you."

Allison rolled her eyes. "I'm not an idiot, Scott. I know how to act."

Scott chuckled and suddenly scooped her into his arms. "Speaking of good acting... how about some roleplay tonight?"

Allison raised an eyebrow, amused. "What kind of roleplay?"

He grinned. "How about you dress like a French maid?"

She smirked. "The boss and the maid? That sounds fun... but not tonight."

Scott leaned closer. "Then what do you have in mind?"

Allison gave him a playful, charming smile. "How about the professor and the student. I'll be the naughty student."

Scott kissed her. "Say less."

Then, without another word, he ran toward the lake house with Allison laughing in his arms.

The next morning, Scott and Allison explained their plan to the rest of the pack during breakfast at the pack house.

Lydia took a sip of her coffee and said. "How about I let my crows follow us when the three of us head into the woods? Even if whoever's stalking Allison doesn't confront us, we'll still know where they are and who they are."

Victoria shook her head. "No. The crows might spook them. But maybe I should go with you girls, just in case."

Scott smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. Allison, Lydia, and Erica will be fine. They're strong."

Stiles nodded. "More than strong. Allison can use poison and ice. Erica can command the trees to attack. And Lydia has paralyzing venom, soundwave attacks, and can summon ten ghouls. Honestly, I think the ones who should be worried are the idiots following them."

Chris looked at the girls seriously. "Alright. But the moment you make contact with the enemy, notify us immediately. We'll be there in seconds."

Allison nodded. "Got it."

Scott stood up. "Alright. Time to head to school."

After classes ended, Scott and the rest of the pack gathered in front of the school gates. Allison, Lydia, and Erica said their goodbyes to the others and walked off together toward a nearby café. After grabbing a quick snack, they headed toward the woods, chatting casually and making sure they looked relaxed.

From a distance, Karen and John watched them closely. They had been tailing the girls ever since they split off from Scott and the others.

"They're heading into the woods." John said, eyes narrowing. "Let's move. This is our chance to grab the girl and take her to Sir Victor. As for her friends... let's feed on them."

Karen placed a hand on his arm. "Not yet. We should call in the lesser vampires, just in case."

John scoffed. "She's just an innocent little girl. Even if she is a werewolf, she's just a Beta and she will be distracted protecting her friends. We can catch her."

Karen shook her head firmly. "Better safe than sorry. We're calling the lesser vampires."

John sighed in frustration. "Fine." They both sent out messages to the lesser vampires they had turned, then continued following the girls from a distance, unaware they were walking straight into a trap.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the rest of the pack had already made their way into the woods. Hidden and waiting for Allison's call, they were ready for action.

Stiles' phone buzzed twice. He read the messages, then let out a low chuckle.

"Looks like we were right, it was the vampires. And We're not just catching one general tonight... we're catching two."

Boyd leaned in. "Your vampires messaged you? What did they say?"

"They said Karen and John just messaged them, told them to come to the woods to hunt someone."

Isaac grinned. "Now I actually feel a little bad for those two. Not only do they have to fight Erica, Allison and Lydia, but they even have to fight their own vampires. That's just sad."

Scott crossed his arms and nodded. "I'm just glad we'll finally find out where Victor is... once we read their memories."
