Zach
After biting my new pack members and taking them on their first hunt, I decide it's time Derek face the consequences for not informing me of Sam's involvement before I arrived.
While it's a small thing, if let slide then what happens if they bring someone I know is dangerous to our house? Someone they don't know the truth of.
In a city like New Orleans, such mistakes can cost everyone of us our lives. I may be able to come back from the dead, but my pack? I can't take that risk.
Seeing my pack grow is great. I hadn't wanted to bite people but I decided I couldn't trust any witches soon enough to get the moonlight rings before they became a novelty when the crescent pack acends.
I mentally nudge Derek through the link. 'Come.' I say blurring away.
I hear him follow and decide to stay away from our pack. I have some vampire blood so he'll heal fast, but I plan to make him understand what being second in command actually means. They haven't had to navigate the waters of the True New Orleans yet. I must make sure he is ready so he may help prepare the others.
Time to discipline my first beta. 'Ah I feel like a father right now,' I mentally chuckle to myself.

After running full speed for nearly an hour Zach and I come out into this clearing In the woods. I can feel his anger, I knew rebuke was coming.
"Get it over with," I say to him. Growing tired.
"Get it over with?" He asks, his eyes lighting up like lanterns in the night. I shiver instinctively. I may get annoyed with Zach at times but there's no doubt he's something else all together.
In an instant I feel Zach's hand go through my chest and grab my heart. "You know," he begins holding my life in his hand as I gasp, "I'd been planning on being sort of lenient, but your attitude has changed my mind. It's clear you've forgotten who you're speaking to."
With that I'm thrown 20 feet across the clearing into a tree, I can hear it crack beneath my body crashing into it. As I'm going to hit the ground I'm met with a viscous uppercut that stands me back up before an elbow smashes it's way into my orbital, shattering it on contact.
I don't even have time to realize the pain before I'm thrown back across the other side of the clearing.
A few deep breaths and I pick myself up to see Zach standing a few feet away, his now full wolf face out. Sideburns and all.
I decide if I'm going down I'll do so with a fight. My own face begins to contort to match his as my own wolf comes to the surface. Snapping my head back and fourth I roar at my alpha for the first time.
Something I realize later is a mistake.

Zach
Everything changed when he roars. A challenge, not merely bad attitude.
Before I myself know what's happening my claws slide deeply into his stomach, causing a yelp of pain.
One of his own claws manages to scratch my face, however, it's healed before it can even bleed. This seems to shock my beta.
In an instant I'm on him again. With a quick fake tackle I come up with a flying knee that sends he and I tumbling to the ground.
What happens next I'm not proud of. I punched and punched and punched.

After coming out of my rage I look down and see Derek truly near death. I take the vampire blood out and speak to him as I pour it into his mouth, "I will kill you next time Derek. Remember this day." I say and begin walking away.
However, as I begin my way into the woods I feel a sudden sharp pain in my heart. Like I'd just been stabbed by a knife.
Falling to a knee my mind raced, 'what the hell is happening,' I thought truly worried. Unknown magic is the most dangerous thing in this world.
I pull out my phone to see Caroline calling me. Why would she be calling me?
"Hello?" I ask through grit teeth, still in agony.
"Zach… it's Bonnie. She's…"
It all clicks into place for me then. I hang up the phone. I can't hear Caroline finish the sentence I know she's about to say. Bonnie. My connection with Bonnie that was created last time I visited Mystic Falls was broken. That's why my heart feels like it was stabbed.
I let out a pained howl. The only person In this new life id felt truly close to since the day we met was gone. Had this happened in the original storyline? I didn't watch tvd after the mikealsons went to New Orleans.
I feel something happening to me. Similar to the first few times I turned but also much different much… more.
I feel my body expanding. Different from my usual transformation. I get up off my hands and knees onto just my knees and rip my shirt off my body. Turning around I see an injured but slightly healed Derek looking at me in shock.
"R..n" I try to speak but feel my voice change and become more difficult.
Finally I know something is about to happen, and I use all my power to get the word out, "RUN!"
After that my world becomes dark.

Derek
I see my alpha begin to fall on the ground. I'm worried instantly even though I'm angry with him for almost killing me.
However, that anger fades into fear when I see him turn towards me while still on his hands and knees before standing only on his knees.
I see him rip his shirt off and his muscles seeming to expand beneath the skin.
The scariest thing was his eyes. Instead of the crimson orbs I've learned to at least be able to look into for short periods of time now become different.
Lighting up like a full moon before bleeding into deep, black holes that look unfeeling.
"R…n" I hear him mumble, hunching over in pain. I move closer but when he looks up at me I know I need to get far away from here.
Those eyes that speak of nothing but death look at me and I shiver. Already beginning to turn into a wolf to run faster, "RUN!" Zach yells before he changes completely.
I'm already running when I see the complete transformation. A two legged wolf human hybrid dog like legs, human like arms, a man's body with a wolves head.
The howl he let loose was one of sorrow and rage. I kept running trying to get away from here while mentally telling the pack to get ready to bolt. The howl runs through me and I feel Zach's pain. An agony more like. Not unlike the one I felt when he put his hand through my chest.
That can wait for later, right now i need to survive.
