Prologue
Flashback
"Scott, remember when I told you that this city needs a hero, a guardian? It's obvious that it's you. Leaving at a time like this won't make things better." Says Derek, standing firm with his arms crossed.
Everyone is there in Derek's loft. Surrounding Scott are Derek, Stiles, Issac, the twins, Lydia, Kira, Peter, Deaton, Melissa, and Sheriff Stilinski. All looking upon him with darkness in their eyes. All worn from the battle that happened the day before, and with the banishment of the Nogitsune, all weary from the outcome of the fray.
"Everything would've went differently, if I was a better Alpha. It's like Koncaid said, I have the eyes of an Alpha, but not the strength. And she's dead because of that." Scott says with a calming yet stern tone.
"Blaming yourself will get you nowhere Scott." Peter says leaning sideways against the spiral stairs.
"You're 17 years old and on top of that, you're a True Alpha. Being an Alpha at this young of an age isn't a walk in the park." Peter continues, now walking toward Scott. "There is still much you can learn and we can teach you."
Scott looks at Peter. Then looks around him at his now newly formed family, his Pack. Then finally at the door of the loft.
"Strength comes in different forms. Weather it's mentally or physically powerful, both correlate with each other." Deaton explains.
"I just have to figure out my strength as an Alpha." Scott responds.
"Your strength comes from us." Stiles finally broke out. His voice trembling and eyes watering. Hating the thought of seeing his best friend, his brother, leaving them.
Scott looks over to Stiles. Then walks over to him and gives him a solid hug. Melissa then breaks down at the sight of the two, the sheriff pulls her close to comfort her, trying not to tear up himself.
"I promise I'll be back before the first day of our Senior year." Scott says to Stiles as he lets go.
He then looks around once more, seeing the faces of his loved ones. He walks over to Kira and grabs her hands.
"I'll be back soon." Scott says to Kira with confidence in his voice.

Present Day
It was a cool night in Beacon Hills as it usually is. The skies dark with gray clouds passing by the bright lights of the moon. Out of the darkness comes a shadowy figure. As the figure walks further onto the edge of the cliff looking over Beacon Hills, the moon's rays reveal him to be Scott McCall, sporting his hair kept back and longer. He looks on over Beacon Hills with a duffel bag in his hand, closes his eyes and lets out a sigh. He snaps his eyes open revealing his crimson red eyes, then steps over the edge of the cliff.
