Alpha's Power

Being Alpha meant Derek had to be the strongest, he had to be strong enough to keep the pack alive. He had to be the one who the pack looked to for answers, so why was it so hard to say no to the temptation all around him. Particularly food and a certain ADHD human male who seemed to always be there when Derek needed him the most. As Derek's walls begin to crumble Stiles is right there at his side, encouraging him to relax, but Derek can't. He couldn't let down another family, he couldn't have what happened to his family happen to this pack. But what was so bad about letting go every once in a while?
