Pack Business Who: Derek and Scott Where: The Hale Estate, Derek's office When: Week 1, Friday afternoon Why: Derek needs to talk to Scott about how he came to be with the Hale pack. Warnings: TBA as needed.
Derek was not in the best of moods. He hadn't had the best of weeks, and that could be attributed to his unanticipated and unfortunate purchase of Stiles. This week had been stressful to say the least, but that wasn't what was troubling him right now.
Scott hadn't been with the Hales long. He'd come to Laura in need, and she'd chosen to accept him. As her second, Derek was responsible for making sure Scott was adjusting well to pack life, and he'd thought that he was adjusting just fine. He'd been wrong.
According to the journal entry he'd read, Scott's mother was being threatened, and Scott was pretending to be a functioning member of the pack because of it. That was unacceptable, because whoever was threatening Scott was threatening his pack by extension, but also because Scott hadn't confided in the pack.
He'd sent Scott a message on Thursday night, asking him to stop by his office at the main house on Friday afternoon, hoping to clarify a few things, and he was hoping the boy would show up before he had to leave for Lydia's with Isaac.
