It's different now. That's not surprising, because being an Alpha means everything's amped up; the full moon shouldn't be any different. It's not made any easier by the fact that most of things that kept Scott grounded aren't here: Stiles, his mom, the rest of the pack. There's Isaac and Allison, but that's shifted too. He's not sure where they stand on certain things, and while it's not enough to undermine his thoughts all the time, it's enough to make using them as a landline difficult.

But there are other things to focus on. The pack he's got, the people here who need him to stay under control. Unlike Isaac, there's nothing about him that's irritable or on-edge - if anything, he's withdrawn, guarded. Calm isn't quite the right word. The steady demeanor's too forced to be anything close to serene, but there's no trace of agitation or hostility.

"There's no one else here. We're good."

It seems like a more useful greeting than a simple 'hey'. It also might make it seem like he's late because he was checking the perimeter instead of what he was actually doing - which was, of course, making sure he genuinely had his shit together before showing up.
