"Does anyone wanna try not being completely predictable?" Derek says. Boyd and I don't shift. We stay stationary as Erica launches herself at him and starts kissing him forcefully. I growl, moving to grab her. Boyd flings a heavy arm out over my chest to stop me. He kissed her back for four short seconds before throwing her on her ass. His brown eyes move up to meet mine.

"That's the last time you do that." he growls at her, still looking at me.

"Why; because I'm a Beta?"

"No. 'Cause I have someone else in mind for you." I push myself into Derek's head. Scott's name comes with the sentence he said. I storm out at this point. He follows me, grabbing my arm and slamming me against his chest.

"Where are you going, Scar?" he growls lowly, hand moving from my arm to the small of my back.

"I'm done." I hiss, "I'm out of this Pack. I don't need this. I know how to fight. I didn't need a Pack before and I don't need one now."

"This is about McCall, isn't it? You still feel something for him."

"No, I don't! Yes, I love Scott. But not in the way you seem to think. He's my 'brother'. I'm not going to let you hurt him, or my cousin."

"Cousin? What the hell are you talking about?"

"Allison Argent is my cousin. My name is Scarlet Argent." I growl, "It was your damn sister's fault I got bitten. I was stupid enough to hunt alone and she bit me. I've never killed anyone, ever. I don't want to either. I know my family won't kill me if I haven't killed. I don't need you. I am an Alpha too, but I'm still more human than you." I show him. I shift into a full wolf and back into my body. I dig my fingernails deep into his skin and drag it down his forearm, the sign of leaving a pack.

"You do not scare me, Derek Hale. Now go back to Erica. She seems to be in heat…for you." Without another word, I turn and run away. I sprint as hard as I can, allowing my speed to carry me toward Scott's house. I knock on the door slightly, my body trembling. He swings open the door, eyes wide and sleepy.

"Scar?" My body gives out and he catches me and sits me down on a chair in the kitchen.

"What is it?"

"I broke away from the Pack." And my world fades into darkness.
