Author's Note: So this is kind of a filler chapter. Plus it's switching perspective. It's going to be kind of short but I hope you like it. Thank you for reading.

oooooooooo

Chapter 13

Derek POV

The meeting last night went pretty smooth, besides Stiles freaking out towards the end. I don't understand why he thinks he can keep up with the pack. He might be a part of the pack, but he is not a werewolf. If one of us gets injured it will take us a few hours to heal, it would take him days. It's dangerous for him. Why doesn't he just learn to leave things like this up to us?

In the distance I can hear someone running towards the place. I go outside prepared to attack them, but as they grow closer I can tell that it is Scott that is coming. He is soon there standing in the clearing.

"What are you doing here? Do you have something to report?"

"No, my shift on patrol was pretty boring. Nothing to report."

"Then why are you here? We're not going to be meeting here for another 6 hours."

"We need to talk about something. It's about what happened at the pack meeting last night."

"I'm not changing my mind. Stiles and Lydia are going to stay out of the fight. They're human and vulnerable. They don't heal like us."

"I'm not disagreeing with you. I just want to explain something to you." He stops to run his hands through his hair. I can feel way he was having difficulty putting the next words together.

"What?"

"Do you know what you did to Stiles last night? You made him feel like he was a weak part of the pack."

"He's not a wolf. He's not as strong as us."

"That's not what I meant by weak. You made him feel like you don't think he can handle being in the pack. Like he can't do anything to help. Pretty much, you challenged him to prove to you that he is capable of fighting."

"What do you think he is going to do?"

"He's going to find a way to help us one way or another. I think you need to go and see him. Try to convince him that you need him to help the pack in some other way. Some way that keeps him out of the fight, but feeling like he is actually helping."

"Any ideas?"

"Hey you're the Alpha, you're the one that needs to come up with that. I'm just Stiles' best friend. I know what he's thinking, that's why I knew I needed to come here and give you a heads up. After the meeting today, talk to him and convince him to do something else."

"Fine, whatever. Why doesn't he realize that he can be hurt so easily?"

"Because he's a human that runs with wolves. His idea of reality has been shifted." He looks like he's going to leave, but something stops him. He turns to me and looks me square in the eye. "Why are you so protective of him? You would've never cared about him getting hurt a year ago."

I glared at him and took a few steps forward. "You think I don't care about the safety of my pack? You think I'd be ok with one of them being hurt or killed?"

"That isn't what I meant. Before you were worried that something would happen, but if Stiles insisted, you would let him come. You'd complain that he'd slow us down, but he would be right there with us. You're becoming more protective of him, why is that?"

"What are you talking about? I treat Stiles the same as everyone else in my pack. I just have to be more protective of my human members since they are so fragile."

"Really? I could've sworn that you were more protective of Stiles than you are of Lydia, and Lydia is the one that is mostly terrifying when you speak to her, not when you're about to fight her. Don't tell her I said that, her glares give yours a run for its money."

"I still don't know what you mean, but I'll think about talking to Stiles about giving him a different role in the fight."

"Ok, sounds good. I'm going to go and meet up with Stiles before the meeting. See you in a few hours." With that he turns and runs in the direction of Stiles' house.

I don't know what Scott was talking about. I admit that I didn't treat Stiles all that great in the beginning, but now I rely on his researching skills to help the pack. Stiles has proven that he can be an asset in a battle, but he has also been injured in many fights. I have to protect him, I don't want to see him hurt. Why is that such a bad thing?

I went back in the house and tried to figure out some way to keep Stiles from the fight. Scott was right about one thing. Stiles is an idiot and he will find some way to ignore me to be at that fight. I have to think of some way to keep him from doing something stupid and getting himself hurt.

oooooooooo

Author's Note: So I hoped you like that. I had planned from the beginning for the story to start off with only Stiles POV, but I feel like in order to get the full experience I'm going to have to switch perspectives every once in a while. This chapter was short, sorry for that, but thanks for reading. Please favorite, follow and/or review.
