Cora lays on Derek's bed, still unconscious, while Florence laid on the couch.
Her eyes, barely open and her breathing labored.
"Why isn't she healing?" Derek snaps
"They're dying aren't they?" Isaac asks
"I don't know" Derek replies
"You think maybe you should try figuring something out? Something a little better than I don't know? Because while Scott and Stiles were out there actually trying to do something about people getting killed, you were in here rolling around in the sheets with the actual killer. A serial killer by the way! A human sacrificing, psychotic, messed up face Druid. What the hell even is that? I mean, what kind of lack in judgement is missing from your head? Do you get how many people she's killed? Erica and Boyd are dead, Cora and Florence are dying and you're doing nothing!" Isaac exclaims
"Why'd you do this to us? Was it all about power? Were you bored? Were you lonely?"
"Maybe" Derek responds lightly
Isaac goes to leave.
"I told Cora I wouldn't leave her. Florence helped raise me. I'll help the others as soon as I help them. "
"There's no time. The full moon's coming. Melissa and the sheriff are going to be dead. So I'm going to try to help. You stay here and keep perfecting the art of doing nothing." Isaac retorts before leaving.
"I wouldn't take it personally. Anger is just a tool. He's using it to shift his allegiance from one alpha to another. From you to Scott." Peter says
"Scott's not an alpha yet"
"But he's on his way, isn't he?"
"Maybe that's a good thing?"
"I'd say it depends on whether Scott's stay with the alphas is only temporary. And not permanent.
Derek goes over to Cora and takes some of her pain.
"I know of something. I've heard it's something only alphas can do. and with good reason" Peter says
"Which is?"
"You know normal wolves never abandon an injured pack member. They take care of it. They bring food from a kill, and regurgitate it into the mouth of the injured wolf. They'll even give it physical and emotional comfort by intensely grooming it. In a way, they can do more than just ease pain, they can be instrumental in healing their own"
