(A/N: I'm going to modify this scene where instead of Addison getting Wyatt's attention, it's Delilah)

Delilah's P.O.V.

Once the day was over, I decided to go with the wolves to the gym, where cheer practice would be held. Addison was apparently running it and I couldn't be more proud of her.

I sat on the bleachers next to Wyatt with Wynter behind me as we looked at the assembled cheerleaders. Due to my minor injuries, I was unable to participate.

Bucky and Addison told me it was fine and I appreciated it. I guess since I was his cousin now and had gone through a lot, he softened up a bit.

I saw her run into the gym, blowing her whistle. The team got into position as she spoke up.

"I'm so fired up to be running cheer practice! Together, we can do anything." she announced.

Bree and a couple of the other cheerleaders gestured to us and my sister turned around, seeing us on the bleachers.

"Sorry, but this practice space is for cheerleaders only." she told the wolves.

Wynter let out a laugh and stood up for a challenge. "Ha! Just try and get us to leave."

I stood up as did Wyatt. "Babe, calm down." I told her.

"Wynter. Some respect?" he warned her.

"I don't want you to leave. I want you to stay. Show us what you can do. The cheer team's for everyone." Addison explained.

The wolves looked at each other at my mates looked at me. I smiled at them with a nod.

"Go get 'em." I said.

They smiled before getting up with the pack and joining the team. I laughed a bit, knowing they would nail this easily.

"5, 6, 7, 8!" Addison counted.

*Skip Practice*

I got up and clapped, going over to my mates and hugging them. "You were all great! I told you you were going to nail it!"

Wynter giggled before kissing my cheek as Wyatt kissed my lips. I went to Addison and high-fived her.

"I really hope you become captain, Addy. You're a natural at this." I told her.

She nodded before I went to join my mates. Wyatt wrapped his arm around my waist with a smile.

"That was amazing! You are all natural cheerleaders!" Addison told them.

"We wolves work well together." Wyatt said, gesturing to himself and the wolves.

"But, I'm not a wolf." she told him. He shook his head and reassured her. "No, I know. Just saying."

Suddenly, Wynter began coughing uncontrollably. Her eyes flashed as her necklace turned a sickly green color.

"Wynter?" myself and Wyatt asked in concern.

I kept an arm around her, keeping her from falling as she finally caught her breath. I rubbed her back and kissed her head.

Just then, Bucky came in clapping. "Well done, Addison! With werewolves on cheer, this election is so in the bag."

"Bucky, this isn't about politics. I always felt like cheer could unite." my sister told him. "You are going to make a great cheer captain!" he told Addison with  smile.

Her eyes lit up. "I'm gonna be cheer captain!"

We all clapped for her, knowing she would make a great leader.

"I was thinking the team could move beyond trophies and we can start an outreach program." Addison told us.

"Cheer is about what I say it's about. And it's about winning." he told us before he went off telling others to vote for him.

Addison went to the locker room with Bree, telling us bye.

I looked at my mates and sighed. I wish I had that much potential as Addison. To help others.

"Man, if only I could be a leader to those who are afraid to be themselves. To those who struggle the same way as I did." I said.

Wyatt looked at me with furrowed eyebrows and lifted my chin up with his fingers. "You are a leader, Delilah. I know it, we all know it. Of something greater and beyond anything else."

I smiled as him as I reached up, touching his hair. I looked at Wynter as she kissed my hand.

I looked in the corner of my eye and saw Zed glaring in our direction.

"Zed!" I called out, but he ran off. I looked at my mates. "I'll be back."

I ran to the direction he was and got out the door. "Zed." He stopped, his back turned towards me. "What's wrong?"

He turned towards me. "Werewolves. They're not interested in fitting in."

"They're into cheer." I told him.

He scoffed. "No, they're into you and you're into them."

I furrowed my eyebrows at him. 'What? Why are you acting like this? Those are my soulmates and you know how badly I've wanted to meet them."

"Do you know how hard it was for zombies? Now, everything's being handed to the werewolves on a silver platter." Zed said.

"Actually, they hate silver." I reminded him.

"I'm doing this election for us. For Addison. So we can go to Prawn, so we can be accepted." he explained.

I pointed at the poster behind him. "That's not being accepted. That's being afraid to show who you really are." I explained.

"Says the girl who had nobody and depression her whole life." he retorted.

I froze as his face filled with regret. He was right. That's what I dealt with and I was fine until he brought it up.

"Delilah, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't ha-" he started.

"Yeah, I did. Because I was suffering and didn't know how to get out of that situation. I fought hard to try and see the bright side of life. And even if I have a new family and my mates, I still do! You know I don't have a place here! Don't have a zombie crew. I don't know what I am! So, excuse me for respecting a pack of werewolves who are proud of who they are!" I yelled.

I shook my head before I walked off to the lockers, going to get my stuff. I sent a mind-link to my mates saying that I was going to go home for a bit and I would see them later. I then decided to block my thoughts.

After I tell him everything from the abuse to the incident, Zed has the audacity to try and tell me all this about the werewolves? Why wasn't he happy that I found my soulmates? Every time I told him about them, he was ecstatic for me, but since I found out they're werewolves, he hasn't been very accepting.

He goes on and on about how zombies fought hard for this, well, how about he goes 7 days a week nearly starving to death and being beaten constantly to the point of being hospitalized a couple times? Growing up without someone to guide and love me?

Delilah: How do people make it look easy
Are they happy or just good at deceiving?
I just want a bit of that feeling for myself
I don't put the pressure of soulmates
I just want somebody who knows me
'Cause every now and then I admit

Zed & Delilah: I need a little bit of help

Delilah: I don't feel like I belong
Anywhere, where, where, where

Zed: How do things keep going wrong?
How did we get here, here, here?

Delilah: The more I cover up my flaws
The more they appear
I gotta find where I belong
Ah, ah-ah

Zed: I wish that I could feel the way you do sometimes
You're stuck on the outside, while I'm in here wonderin' why
I had to make it worse, you were already hurt
Don't wanna be another thing on your mind
I wish that I could make it change, instead of making mistakes
Tryna hold you up, instead I'm the one pushing away
Just wanna understand, but every time I can't
And I don't know why

Delilah: I don't feel like I belong
Anywhere, where, where, where

Zed: How did I get this so wrong
To leave us right here, here, here?

Delilah: The more I cover up my flaws
The more they appear
I gotta find where I belong
Ah, ah-ah

Everywhere I go don't feel like home
Even my parents, they act like they know
Guess I have to leave to finally see
If there's someone out there and they're just like me
Then I'll go
Yeah, I'll don't don't feel like I belong
Anywhere, where, where, where

Zed: How did I get this so wrong
To leave us right here, here, here?

Delilah: The more I cover up my flaws
The more they appear
I gotta find where I belong
Ah, ah-ah I don't feel like, I don't feel like
I don't feel like
Gotta feel like, gotta feel like
Gotta feel like I belong
