[to Liam] I know something's going on. I know you don't want to talk about it. But you're still my best friend. And, um, considering the fact that the last good friend I made turned out to be a professional killer, I'm thinking that I don't have too many options for new ones. So, when you're ready to talk, talk. Until then, I know I can kick your ass at at least one of these games.
My family. The Argent family has been around for over four hundred years. A powerful, wealthy, aristocratic family of werewolf hunters. But yet, somehow, in less than a year, this great family is decimated by a teenage boy. So, my question is simple-- what the hell is so special about Scott McCall?
Scott's a True Alpha. That means he didn't get his power because he was born with it. He didn't get it by stealing or killing someone. He earned it. You're not strong because you can lift a lot of weight now. You're strong because you endure. Satomi calls it "strength of character." You're lucky to have him. [He leaves]
You know what you need? Adrenaline. There's two ways to get it-- fear, and anger. Since you don't look like a guy who's afraid of anything, you need to get angry. You need to get so angry that your brain lets loose every bit of adrenaline it has left.
Okay, I don't know much about you, or what you've been through. But, Lydia told me some of it. And I know about Allison. I know how she felt about Scott. And, I think if she knew what was happening to him, she'd be pretty angry. At least angry enough to try one more time to get the hell out of here. So, whatever trigger you need-- if it's Allison, or your sister, or Peter-- use it. Use it right now!
Tell me, Scott-- they ever teach you the myth of Artemis and Actaeon in school? No? I didn't think so. Well, Artemis was a goddess, and Actaeon was a hunter that happened to see Artemis bathing naked one day. This did not make the goddess too happy. In fact, she was so angry, Artemis turned Actaeon into a deer, and this sent his own hounds into a frenzy. He was actually torn apart by his own hunting dogs.
Oh, I'm not gonna turn you into a deer! But, you are about to become something unrecognizable to your friends. They won't know what they're fighting. Or killing.
How. That's... that's the better story. You see, when I first got away from the Calaveras, I had no idea where to go. But, something kept pulling me back here, to the temple of Tezcatlipoca. His name means "smoking mirror," and this place is the Temple of the Smoking Mirror. Obsidian. When I got here, I found the berserkers waiting for me. They helped me survive. I didn't know quite why until just recently. Until I decided to trust someone I never thought I'd trust. It was then that I found out I could not only control the berserkers, but I could create them. They call me La Loba, the Bone Woman. Did you know that Scott became an Alpha without having to kill? He's been through quite a lot without ever having to kill. I think it's time to change that.
