Dear Scott McCall,

​I am truly sorry for all of the times that I may have unknowingly hurt your feelings and caused you pain — and I just wanted you to know that our friendship is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Talking to you made me smile and meeting you set me free of my dark past. You came into my life when I needed you most and I fell for you instantly, but I think that was why I had to let you go.

​And here I am, being the bitch that I am, letting you go again.

​While you read this, I just want you to know that I silently cried while writing this letter to you...and I refuse to say goodbye because I don't want you to think that I'll never come back. And how can I say goodbye to a friend who I can't live without? Because I can not imagine my life without you in it, Scott — whether it be as a friend, a pack brother, or a fearless leader — it doesn't matter. For longest time our friendship and relationship was the oxygen that kept me alive...all of the beautiful memories that we have made will be cherished and fondly remembered while I am away.

​And I just couldn't bring myself to do this in person, because seeing your face, with such softness would've been enough to convince me to stay when I know that I can't.

​My first thought as I was packing was how much I wanted to call you and tell you how much I was going to miss you and how emotional I felt. I wouldn't call it sad, because there is joy in me for what you are embarking upon in helping Malia that really feels me with excitement, knowing that you'll be the Alpha that she needs. Maybe I can't describe how I feel, maybe that's okay. And I've decided — it's okay.

​Even though we haven't known each other as long as you've known Stiles, but it feels so strange to know that over the course of time that I'm away, I won't be able to pop-in with Stiles for an unplanned movie night. It's the end of an era. Maybe we're all a bit co-dependent, but I am looking forward to the immense amount of extra time I will have without you here (although I would not trade our times together for anything). And I know that really things won't change much, but it's still a strange feeling — it's surreal.

​Scott, you and I, we were never afraid of what the other would think and I hope you keep that same mindset when you begin to develop your relationship with Kira.

​
​Sincerely,
Caterina Hale
