"That's not going to work," she said, shaking her head. "And you know it. You don't get to tell your alpha no, Derek. I'm still alpha. I have been for six years. Just because you thought it was okay to run away and ignore me and my pain for six years and pretend I did with everyone else isn't my fault, but you do not get to walk away from pack when I can actually speak. You snuck off like a damn snake before, Derek but that time is over. So I hope you enjoyed pretending you weren't a Hale, but you are, and you answer to your alpha."

She said it all plainly, matter of factly.

"I won't be sorry I didn't die with mom so you could turn your back on your family, Derek. A pity. I thought you were a better wolf than that."
