Maybe I'm off here, but it seems like in an off brand way, Derek is still training Scott, kind of grooming him to be second in command of the pack should he ever join. He looked pleased and amused Scott beat the other two betas, and with the exception of Boyd, I don't see the other two filling that role. Erica's too vain and Issac seems to be a loose cannon waiting to happen. Boyd could fill that role but he has to come into his own first, so Erica would be second down from Derek by default. Scott is who Derek wants to fill that role due to the strength he displayed, how he stood his ground when Derek taunted him and told him to go home, and the fact Scott actually landed a hit on him in that fight, plus in a way, I imagine he views Scott as a younger brother of sorts, especially due to how similar Scott is to how Derek most likely was before the fire happened. Who better to trust than family even if adopted.
