It's taken a long, maybe too long, but Derek's realized that keeping everything to himself, including his ignorance, to himself really hasn't been working for him. It had just been hard, so damn hard, to think past the overwhelming flood of power and instinct and grief and loss at first, and then he'd had betas to control and protect and Scott to try and run damage control on and... he'd been running on fear, confusion and bloody minded determination for so long, but somewhere along the line he's come to rely on Stiles. On his weirdass brain and his dogged loyalty and determination.
Still, there's one thing in there that needs correction. "It's not good that they were taken and need to be rescued, Stiles." He scowls and looks away. "They deserve to find a safe place and an Alpha to protect them." And it's his fault they haven't. "Not to get caught in the middle of this mess and used against me." Because the one thing he is sure of is that the Alpha pack is here for him.
