But dreaming was free.

Stiles was sick of it. He was sick of being treated like a maid, a servant. Someone who was only useful to the pack if he was doing research or making meals or cleaning up after them. Stiles was sick of doing all the work and never getting any thanks. So he decided to quit the pack. The only problem was going to be… telling Derek.

Derek was slightly less annoyed all the time now the pack was acting like a family. But the thing was, Stiles wasn't getting treated like family. Stiles decided the only way to tell him was fast, like ripping off a band-aid. So the next time Derek climbed through his window, Stiles simply stayed where he was and stated, "Derek I'm quitting the pack."

Derek was obviously surprised by Stiles outburst but quickly pulled himself together and demanded to know why Stiles wanted to leave, "What the hell Stiles? Why do you want to leave? I remember when you wanted to join. You followed me around for days begging about how you would bring so much to the pack and that it was your dream because a pack was a family and since your mum had died two didn't seem like much of a family."

Stiles quickly ranted in reply, "I did dream of it, I did dream of having a family but I am not part of your family. If anything I am the maid. And you know what even if you all thanked me for everything I did; everything I put in to make this pack work it wouldn't be enough. You have all taken so much from me, you have taken my time, you have taken my energy, on more than one occasion you have taken my blood. What you have was never my family, my family is here with my dad. I see that now so can you please leave I don't want to talk about this any more. We're done."

Derek looked shocked at Stiles outburst so shocked that he stuttered over his words, "Bu-But y-you dreamed of this…"

"But dreaming was free." Stiles replied solemnly.

Derek took this as his cue to leave. He jumped out of the second floor window and took of running for the forest, howling as he went. They had to have a pack meeting immediately. They had to show Stiles he was pack.
