Chapter 4

Scott's POV

I can't believe Derek, I was just starting to trust him aswell! And he does around and breaks my sisters heart! My little sister! I growled at him as he had Echo is his arms. She seemed calm but I was far from that. I pulled them apart roughly. "Come on we're leaving" Echo thrashed and pulled to get back to Derek but failed. I had Isaac and Liam holding back Derek. "You can't separate us forever you know!" Derek yelled.

, I turned to him with an evil smirk. "I can try"

_______________________

The entire journey back home, Echo was silent and still trying to leave. "Stop trying to get away from us!" She was frustrated, annoyed and looked like she was about to burst into tears at any moment. "You don't understand!" That was the last thing she told me the entire week.

Echo's POV

Every night it's impossible to sleep, and I'm not talking to my brother, why would I! He took me away from Derek and I want to get back to him. I don't even know if Scott notices that every morning I have dark circles under my eyes and I am getting a lot paler. Mom is worried for me but Scott acts like it's normal! Liam and Isaac are staying over at the loft to keep Derek there but are changing when they're at school, for Argent who unfortunately agrees with them.

Apparently they aren't doing so well as Derek's an Alpha and Liam, and Isaac are betas. I was furious when Liam and Isaac agreed with Scott, so I broke off contact with both of them. I'm trying to figure out a plan to get to Derek, my body is thin and weak so I think I could get away with telling the nurse I'm sick. When I got to School my friends were straight to me. "Echo, are you sure you are okay?"Questioned Malia. I weakly nodded.

"I think you should go home and rest. It looks like you haven't slept or eaten on days!" I looked at her with a 'that's exactly what happened' look. Hayden gasped. "Why haven't you been talking care of yourself?" I shrugged. "My body has kind of just shut down I guess." Malia nudged me on the shoulder. "Is it because of Derek" I nodded. "I'm going to kill Liam!" Hayden yelled. Not loud enough for the whole school, but loud enough for the werewolves to hear.

"And why exactly are you going to kill me babe?" She rolled her eyes at him and pushed him away. "Have you seen the state you've put Echo in! She's really sick and weak!" Liam turned to me. "Its probably just the bond breaking, like we want it too" I gasped and slapped him across the face. "Sorry Hayden" She shook he head. "Its fine, he deserved it" Liam gasped at me. "What the hell was that for?!" I was still furious. "For making me feel like absolute crap" I stormed off to Coach's class and sat down in my usual seat next to Erica. We were quite close with only a few arguments that have happened in the 5 years I've known her.

"How's Derek holding up?" She shook her head. "Not very well at all, really sick, pale and weak" I nodded and thanked her before raising my hand to excuse myself. "What McCall?" I loked very I'll so hopefully I get sent home. "Please can I be excused to the nurse, I don't feel so great" He nodded and I left, thankfully, Svott wasn't in that class and I rushed to get to the office before all the lessons ended and Scott would search for me.

Fortunately the nurse believed me and I left. I had no car to get to the loft so I had to get a taxi. The driver didn't want me to pay him since I was so ill looking, he thought I was going home. As if. He pulled up at Derek's loft and I got out, thanked him and went inside. Argent was indie the loft I presume. Teachers were suppose to be making sure I didn't leave the school but they failed. Scott literally had everyone on his side.

I knocked on the door and Argent came out. I went behind him and knocked him out cold. Derek was slouched on the sofa, pale and weak. If you didn't know it was because of the bond it looked like he was really sick. "Derek?" I said, he looked up and as soon as he saw me he wrapped me in his arms. "Oh my god, oh my god, it's you! You're really here" I nodded as tears started rolling down my cheeks. "I missed you so much" I whispered, he kissed my forehead and sat down.

"How did you get away from your brother?" I passed him the sick note, and he chuckled. "Good acting Echo" I giggled. "Well my face was pretty convincing" He kissed me gently and we sat there enjoying eachother company. "Get away from her!!" Argent shouted at him. Derek growled as he came closer. He pulled me behind him in a protective way. Argent loaded his gun and pointed it at Derek's head. "I said, GET AWAY FROM HER!" Deek knocked the gun out of his hands and through him out of the loft.

He came back to me and sat down with me laying my head on his shoulder while we watched a movie.

Scott's POV

(At the same time Echo was heading to the loft)

I got out of chemistry and went to Echo's locker to wait for her. But she never came. Hayden walked by me, sending a furious look my way. What did I do? I grabbed her arm, "Where the hell is my sister?!" She smirked and the girls all surrounded me. Malia on my left, Hayden infront, Erica behind and Lydia to my left. "Oh god" I'm in for it now.

"Scott McCall have you seen the state of your site recently?" It was Erica, I nodded and tried to walk away, only to be growled at by Malia. "Malia, babe, let me through" She looked furious. "Don't call me that!" She was mad. Like really mad. "You are going to pay for what you did to Echo!" I was confused. "I didn't do anything!" They all scoffed. "She was a wreck, pale and sick, you say you've done nothing" Erica snapped, angrily at me. "You're some 'true alpha'!"

I was getting angry and decided to use my Alpha tone. "WHERE IS MY SISTER?!" They all scurried away towars their boyfriend or best friend. Oh great now I have a bunch of angry male wolves on my tail and an angry Stiles.Just great.

"Don't talk to Lydia like that!" Came Stiles. He was comforting Lydia while Boyd was about to charge at me, Liam following close behind. Malia was about to jump on me, she doesn't need a man to do anything. "WE'RE OVER!" She yelled. Now I had Boyd on my left, Isaac behind, Liam infront and Stiles to my right. The girls were behind them, Hayden behind Liam, Malia behind Isaac,Erica behind Boyd and Lydia behind Stiles. They were all about to shift when someone shouted.

"ENOUGH!"

It was Peter,"What the hell is going on here?!" Peter had become better now and was kinda like an irritating father figure. "He used his alpha tone on the girls!" Liam shouted. Followed by a chorus of agreements from the rest of the group. He strutted towards us and that's the last thing we all saw.
