Summary:
Derek can’t protect Stiles, no matter what he does.
Stiles glared back, his eyes narrowed in challenge. “I was thinking that I could help. And I did. I saved your sorry ass, so you’re welcome.”
There was no way Derek was ever going to thank Stiles for getting involved. They could heal. Stiles couldn’t. “You nearly got yourself killed.”
“But I didn’t,” Stiles said, like not dying was some sort of victory, something to be applauded. He spread out his arms. “Not a scratch on me.”
“That’s because Scott tackled you out of the way.” Scott had the good sense to look guilty from where he and the others were very obviously trying to avoid being noticed. It was Scott’s fault Stiles was even involved. “We don’t need you.”
His words obviously stung. They were meant to. “Bullshit,” Stiles said. “You wouldn’t have known how to kill that ghoul if it wasn’t for me.”
Derek grit his teeth. Stiles was right but there was no way he was going to admit it. “We would have figured it out.”
Stiles snorted.
“Get out. You’re not involved. You were never meant to be.”
Scott opened his mouth. Erica stomped on his foot, turning Scott’s glare on her. Stiles looked even more determined. “Too late. I already am.”
Anger welled up. His face shifted as his eyes turned Alpha red. “GET OUT!”
For once, Stiles listened.
