Stiles's POV

Derek had reluctantly warmed up to me after the entire incident claiming he only wanted me around for my literal warmth. I knew it was more than that but I let him think other wise. He usually called me over to cuddle when he was feeling bad physically and sometimes mentally. But that was expected with some people when they got pregnant. As long as it didn't get too serious he was okay and so was I

"Have you seen Scott?" Derek muttered into my chest and I felt myself unwillingly stiffen

"No." I muttered catching his attention

He looked up at me his hazel eyes wide and curious. He looked absolutely gorgeous. His eyebrows were scrunched together, his lips tugged into a frown, and his hair was messy. I smiled at him but now he was alert. He made it so that he was comfortably sitting up right without hurting me or himself

"What happened?" He crossed his arms over his chest

"Nothing, Der" I scoffed and looked away from him trying to keep my heart beat steady

"Remember the last time you kept something from me, Stiles" He spoke harshly

I sigh and look back at him, "we had an argument a month ago"

"And..?" He raised an eyebrow at me

"And he left" I shrugged, "you can check his last text if you want"

Derek nodded and I handed him my phone to him. He read through our last conversation with a disapproving frown. I hated the look on his face. I knew I was gonna get a speech. Derek and Scott never understood my side and they still don't. I was only trying to protect Derek and the baby, but now I was the bad guy

"Stiles, why would you tell him that?" Derek gaped at me

"It was the heat of the moment type of thing" I shook my head, "I didn't actually mean those words"

"You better not have" Derek handed me back my phone, "or you just lost your best friend"

"I know" I sigh again, "I just don't know where he is or how to even begin to say sorry"

Derek only looked at me with sad eyes and laid back down on my chest. I wrapped my arm around him a majority of the blanket covering him. I bit my lip thinking of any possible ways I could contact Scott

"Go to his house" Derek spoke out as if he was reading my mind

I blink and look down at him gaping, "how did you-"

"Trust me" Derek smiled,"he'll be there"

"Are you sure?" I looked down at him and he scoffed

"I'm not cold anymore if that's what you're asking" Derek grunted, "go to him"

"But-"

"Go before I kick you out" Derek moved so that he was no longer on my lap

I stood up and stretched reluctant to go. I looked back at him but he only smiled encouragingly at me. I stuffed my hands in my sweater pockets and trudged towards the front door

"Oh and Stiles" He called towards me

"Yeah!" I spun around ready to sit back down

"I love you" He smiled softly at me and I felt my heart melt a bit

"I love you too" I grinned before walking out of the house

Scott's house was almost as dark as the night. His mom must be doing a night shift. All the lights were off and the surrounding woods made my palms sweaty, I turn off the engine to my jeep and get out feeling as if I'm too loud. I walk towards his front porch the leaves under my feet crunching with every step. I unlock the front door with my key and step in

The house seems almost abandoned, the darkness makes it seem old, and the floor creaks beneath me causing me to jump. I clutch at my chest letting out shaky laugh. I walk up the stairs hesitant to even go up them. I always hated Scott's house at night, but being in here now knowing that Scott's not here makes me feel even more on edge about his house

His room door was wide open and I could feel the thumping of my heart in my chest grow quicker. He usually had his door closed which meant he wasn't here and I was technically breaking into their house. I stepped through the door and waited for my eyes to adjust to the darkness that surrounded his room. I didn't want to turn on his room light because then his neighbors would be alert and I didn't feel like getting busted by my pops today

I crept towards his bed and hesitantly made my way through his pitch black room. I rested one hand on the wall making sure I know where I'm going while not being able to see. I checked his bathroom the door creaking as I moved it, the mirror showed my figure with no other details. It gave me chills up my spine so I decided to close the door and not look back

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Scott's demanding voice in the dark cause me to let out a loud yelp

I couldn't make anything out of his face except for his glistening ruby eyes. I sputter trying to speak but it's nearly impossible when I feel like Scott is about to kill me. He steps closer to me and I back away. Since when has he ever had red eyes?! Since when was he an alpha?!

"Well?" He spat and I gripped his dresser for support

"I came looking for you" I admit my voice cracking in between words

"Why" A growl rips through his chest and in this moment I really regret taking Derek's advice

"I'm sorry, okay!" I flinch expecting a hit but instead nothing comes

I open my eyes to see Scott standing there his eyes no longer red. I can feel my heart rate slowing down and he moves to turn on the light. I watch him never taking my eyes off of him, he flicks the lights on and I gape at him

He's shirtless with claw marks all over his back and chest. His lip is busted and his hair is a complete mess, the jeans he has on are caked with mud and his nails are black with dirt. He looks like an absolute wreck and it's all my fault. I stutter and he glares at me

"I'm sorry Scott, I was wrong for what I told you" I sigh hesitant to approach him

"I-" he took in a deep breath, "I've changed my mind"

"On?" I raise an eyebrow

"Leaving the pack" Scott's eyes welled with tears, "being an alpha without a pack is worse than being treated like a beta in another pack"

He doesn't have to say anymore, I pull him into a tight hug. I dismiss his smell and the dirt and comfort my shaking friend. I put my hand in his hair and murmur soothing words in his ears

"I'm sorry, Scott, I'm so sorry"
