It's probably part of the reason the Alpha's chose the location--the knowledge that, even if Derek patrols the general area, he never actually goes within a block of Scott's house. If Stiles hadn't been paying attention at just the right--or wrong--time they never would have known, unless and until the Alphas chose to rub his nose in it.
He scowls at Stiles' insistence they tell Scott, his claws itching under his skin, but... Stiles is right. "Fine. But he either gets the hell out of the way or he does what he's told." It's not quite a snarl, but there's definitely no question of backing down on this point. Though he doesn't actually trust Scott to keep his promise even if he agrees to the terms, the kid's too damn self-righteous to actually accept that he needs to follow anyone else's rules. "I can't protect him if he fucks up and gets in the way." It doesn't even occur to him to demand that Stiles stay behind... which is probably a problem, but not one that occurs to him at the moment. Later, maybe, but not now.
