"Three isn't enough for Derek. So whose next?" Scott asked once the two of us had gotten far enough from the rest of the group. I scoffed a laugh at Scott.

"What do you mean?" I asked, Scott giving me a 'you know what I mean' look. I rolled my eyes and laughed. "What? You think I know who Derek will bite? He hasn't told me the last two times, why should he now?" I seethed as Scott tensed up.

"Because, Dean. You were his first beta. He'll tell you who his last will be. So who is it gonna be?" Scott repeated as I simply shrugged.

"My dog." I joked as Scott frowned, unamused. "I don't. Know. So back off." I threatened, turning to walk away. The truth was, I did know who was next, even if Derek wouldn't tell me.

"If you won't tell me, because I know you know who is next, then you have to stay—"

"You think you can tell me what to do?" I turned around quickly, baring my yellow eyes to Scott. "You have no control over who I get to see, or where I get to go. You aren't my alpha, and you aren't an alpha, at that. You're just a beta who thinks he's better than everyone." I snapped at Scott, who huffed angrily.

"I can keep my friends safe. Stiles is my friend, and I want him to stay away from you."

"Because I won't tell you the truth?!" I yelled, catching the attention of the three in the ice rink. "I can do whatever the hell I want, Scott! I can be friends with whoever I want. Stiles is his own person, he has a say who he gets to be his friend." I picked my leg up and ripped the skate off, followed by the other one.

I glared at Scott one last time before walking to where I had changed my shoes, grabbing them and walking out without a second glance at anyone.

The grip on my shoes tightened and I felt the fabric rip, stopping to stare down at the now clawed up shoes. I let out a groan of frustration, throwing them in the trash and walking out of the rink.

"Hey! Dean! Wait up man—" Stiles ran out after me and I paused, turning around to stare at him.

"Did you invite me so Scott could interrogate me?" I asked in a quick tone, catching Stiles by surprise. He opened his mouth to speak, but I only cut him off. "You know what? Don't answer that. I couldn't care less. Because— maybe you did. And—and for once in my fucking life, I thought someone actually... genuinely cared about me. But maybe you were just using me for answers. I guess we'll never know."

"Dean—"

"Just. For once in time I've known you... leave me alone." I looked away as a year rolled down my cheek, tossing my jacket in the passenger seat of my car and backed up quickly, driving out of the parking lot.

I felt used. And beaten. Like the only reason Stiles and Scott became my friends was because of the fact Derek bit me. There was no other reason for them to be my friend.

I had practically slammed on the brakes before I entered the ling driveway to my house, gripping the steering wheel so tightly yet I didn't use a single bit of my super strength. I didn't want to screw something else up, right?

I locked my car and walked in side, thankful for once that Jeremy wasn't home. I paced back and forth as the anger and sadness just kept building up until I looked in the mirror.

And saw what someone would call a monster.

The distorted nose and yellow eyes. Sharp teeth, pointed ears and mutton chops. For once.. I hated this look.

And for that, I let out a loud, frustrated and painful roar.

I rested my cheek on my fist, my elbow planted firmly on the arm of my chair. My candle had completely melted away, and I had been to lazy to replace it for days.

The argument I had with Stiles and Scott kept replaying in my head. I mean, it was mainly a one sided argument for Stiles and I. I never let him explain himself.

And now he probably thinks I hate him. Lucky me.

I wiped the ever growing tears away and sniffed loudly, grabbing a book and opening it to where the bookmark was placed.

I didn't even get to the first paragraph before I had passed out from all the emotions clouding over one another.

Apologies for such a short chapter

And just to put y'all through it, this chapter initially ended with Dean kissing Stiles :)
