Chapter 3 - The Bite in the Woods

Night slowly descended over Beacon Hills.

The town lights flickered across the hills, while the forest surrounding the area grew darker and more mysterious.

Most people were at home.

Watching TV.

Finishing homework.

Living normal lives.

But in the forest outside town—

Something very different was happening.

Inside his house, Aiden Blackwell stood near the window, staring at the distant tree line.

His eyes glowed faintly with orange light.

Ever since awakening the Hellhound bloodline, his senses had become extremely sharp.

He could feel the supernatural energy flowing through Beacon Hills.

And tonight…

That energy was particularly active.

Aiden narrowed his eyes.

Tonight is the night.

If the timeline of Teen Wolf was correct…

This was the night when Scott McCall would go into the forest.

And get bitten by Derek Hale.

Which meant the entire story of Beacon Hills would officially begin.

But Aiden had no intention of letting things unfold exactly the same way.

Not anymore.

"System."

A blue interface appeared in front of him.

Then suddenly—

DING!

A new notification appeared.

Aiden smirked.

"So the system wants me to get involved."

Perfect.

He grabbed his jacket and left the house.

Tonight would be interesting.

Meanwhile—

On the other side of town, Stiles Stilinski burst into Scott's bedroom.

"Scott! Get up!"

Scott groaned from the bed.

"What is it now?"

Stiles looked excited.

"There's a dead body in the woods!"

Scott blinked.

"…You woke me up for that?"

Stiles grinned.

"Yes."

Scott sighed.

But eventually he got dressed.

Minutes later, the two boys headed toward the forest.

Completely unaware that tonight would change Scott's life forever.

Deep inside the forest—

The wind moved quietly between the trees.

The moonlight filtered through the branches.

Aiden walked calmly among the shadows.

His footsteps were almost completely silent.

The Hellhound inside him loved this environment.

Darkness.

Silence.

Predation.

Then suddenly—

His ears twitched.

Voices.

Two people approaching.

Aiden climbed onto a large tree branch and looked down.

Below him were Scott and Stiles.

The two were sneaking deeper into the forest.

Stiles whispered excitedly.

"This is exactly how horror movies start."

Scott replied nervously.

"Yeah… and the people in those movies die."

Aiden chuckled quietly.

You're not wrong.

The two eventually separated while searching the forest.

Stiles ran when he heard police sirens.

Scott, however, continued walking alone.

That's when Aiden sensed something powerful.

A new presence had entered the forest.

Predatory.

Cold.

Wolf-like.

Aiden looked toward the darkness.

And then—

A figure stepped out from between the trees.

Tall.

Muscular.

Eyes glowing red.

It was Derek Hale.

Scott froze.

"What the hell…?"

Before he could react—

Derek moved.

His speed was terrifying for a normal human.

Within seconds, he was in front of Scott.

Scott tried to run.

Too late.

Derek grabbed him and slammed him into the ground.

Scott struggled in panic.

"Get off me!"

But Derek's eyes were glowing with Alpha-level intensity.

For a moment, he studied Scott carefully.

Then—

He bit him.

Scott screamed as Derek's fangs pierced his shoulder.

The bite injected supernatural venom into Scott's body.

The power of the werewolf.

High above the scene, Aiden watched silently.

So it begins.

The birth of Scott McCall as a werewolf.

Derek quickly disappeared into the darkness after the bite.

Leaving Scott unconscious on the forest floor.

Aiden jumped down from the tree.

He walked toward Scott's body.

Scott was breathing heavily.

The transformation had already begun.

Aiden crouched beside him.

"So this is the famous True Alpha…"

He studied the bite mark carefully.

The supernatural energy was already spreading through Scott's body.

Interesting.

Aiden could easily remove the power using Power Devour.

But he decided not to.

Scott still had his role in this world.

For now.

Aiden stood up.

Then suddenly—

His Hellhound instincts screamed.

Danger.

Something else was nearby.

Something violent.

Aiden turned slowly.

In the darkness behind him—

A pair of glowing yellow eyes appeared.

A large feral werewolf stepped out from the shadows.

Not Derek.

Just a rogue Beta wandering the forest.

It growled aggressively.

Aiden smiled slowly.

"Perfect timing."

The system immediately reacted.

[Optional Mission Target Detected]

Supernatural Creature: Rogue Werewolf

Difficulty: Low

Reward for defeat:

Bloodline Fragment

The werewolf charged.

Fast.

Violent.

Its claws slashed toward Aiden's throat.

But Aiden didn't move.

The claws stopped just inches from his neck.

Because Aiden had caught the werewolf's wrist effortlessly.

The creature's eyes widened.

Impossible.

Aiden's grip tightened.

CRACK.

The werewolf howled in pain.

Then Aiden's eyes ignited with blazing orange flames.

The air around him heated instantly.

"You picked the wrong prey."

Hellfire erupted from his hand.

The flames burned through the werewolf's body.

Within seconds—

The creature collapsed to the ground.

Dead.

Aiden exhaled slowly as the flames faded.

Then the system activated.

[Power Devour Activated]

Extracting Ability…

Energy flowed from the dead werewolf into Aiden's body.

[Ability Acquired]

Werewolf Bloodline Fragment

+5 Strength

+5 Speed

Aiden stretched his shoulders slightly.

He could feel the small increase in power.

"Not bad."

Then another notification appeared.

Mission Completed

Observe the Birth of a Werewolf

Reward:

+200 System Points

Hellfire Control Upgraded

Aiden looked up at the moon.

Tonight had been productive.

Scott had become a werewolf.

A new power had been added to his system.

And this was only the beginning.

Aiden turned toward the distant lights of Beacon Hills.

A calm smile appeared on his face.

"Let the story begin."

Far away—

Allison Argent was sleeping peacefully.

Unaware that the supernatural world around her had already begun moving.

And at the center of it all…

A Hellhound was quietly growing stronger.
