The stench of Stiles' blood from the other side of the door enrages Derek, and some part of him knows that his lack of control is at least partially--maybe largely--due to the shock of killing Deucalion and Kali, of absorbing their power. He was never meant to be an alpha at all, was never prepared to deal with the flood of power and instinct that comes with it, and this is almost as bad as right after he'd killed Peter.
The sound of Stiles' voice on the other side of the door just makes it worse. That's Pack down there, captive and bleeding, completely under the power of two rival alphas and, and the sound of the blow, the way Stiles' voice cuts off, has him seeing red in both the literal and figurative senses of the word. He digs his claws deep into the frame of the door, wood splintering under his hands, and digs in deep, growling deep in his chest. The door might be holding for the moment, but it's very clear that it won't be for long, and with no threat at his back and the power pulsing through his blood, making his skin feel a size too small and entirely too hot, he can't find it in him to give a shit about whatever threat might be in front of him.
