At the same time, Scott's mother, Melissa, became good friends with Stiles' father, Noah Stilinski, who Scott came to see as a father figure after his dad abandoned him. Scott was also aware of Stiles' long lived crush on Lydia, an unrequited love that would go on for years.

When Scott was a young child, he was taking his small dog Roxie for a walk when the two were attacked by a rabid doberman. The stress of the event caused Scott to have such a severe asthma attack that he was sent to the hospital, and his dog ultimately died from her injuries. 
One night, Scott's dad came home drunk one night and got into an argument with Melissa. Angry, Raf grabbed him by the wrist and tried to force him back into his room. However, he ended up pushing Scott down the steps, who lost consciousness and gained a scar from the accident. When Scott woke up, he had no recollection of the incident.

Melissa believed and hoped that her son felt the same way she did at the parent-teacher conference meeting with Adrian Harris. However, she was unsure. Instead, Scott's absence of a father caused him to feel embittered and angry at Rafael for leaving in the first place. Instead, Scott had the Stilinski family as a secondary familial source . 
As a teenager, in order to provide for his single working mother, Scott decided to take a part-time job at the animal clinic under Dr. Alan Deaton, a relationship that eventually became close as father and son . 
Once he entered high school, Scott joined the lacrosse team with his best friend of many years, Stiles Stilinski, though they rarely ever saw any game play due to their lack of athletic prowess. 
===Season 1===
Scott and his best friend, Stiles Stilinski, both went into the woods trying to find the other half of Laura Hale's body. However, Noah Stilinski busted his son when Stiles raced ahead of Scott. To avoid getting his best friend in trouble, Stiles covered for Scott, saying he was back at home. The Sheriff believes Stiles when Scott doesn't answer and he drags his son back to his car. The teenager was left alone in the woods and tried to make his own way back home. He also unknowingly comes across the Nemeton; however, Scott is too worried getting back home. Suddenly, a herd of deer nearly trampled him, with Scott losing his inhaler. As he looks for it, Scott finds Laura's corpse, which causes him to fall firm on the hill. Peter Hale, wishing to expand his power to get revenge on the Argents, attacked Scott. However, Scott was able to get away from his attacker and nearly run into someone's car. The following day at school, Scott tells Stiles that he encountered a creature he swears was a wolf and that he has a nasty bite on his side. Despite Stiles not believing him, Scott then tells Stiles that he found the body, much to his best friend's elation. During class, Scott suddenly heard things from a mile away including a phone call between a girl and her mother. Scott immediately charms the girl, Allison Argent. Scott's body has also gone through some changes. His other senses are heightened, he has accelerated healing and his athleticism increases. This helps Scott when he and Stiles go to lacrosse practice, while gaining attention from Lydia Martin and Allison Argent and began his rivalry with Jackson Whittemore. Despite this, Scott finally makes it to the first line on lacrosse and gets a date with Allison Argent after helping her take care of a dog she accidentally hit. After doing more research, Stiles tries to get him to cancel the date with Allison. However, Scott reacts with fury and nearly kills Stiles until he realizes what he is doing. Quickly gaining control of himself, Scott leaves the house before anything else goes wrong. 
Later that night, Scott goes to Lydia and Jackson's party with Allison. Even though the two have a good time, Scott is somewhat uneasy because he notices Derek has been watching them from afar. Due to the full moon, the young werewolf has a panic attack and runs into the woods. Stiles goes to check in on him and Scott tells his friend he believes Derek Hale killed the girl in the woods. After Stiles tells Scott that Derek took Allison home, Scott runs to confront Hale, who tackles him to the ground. He figures out that Derek is a werewolf and that hunters are after them. Scott is shot by one of the hunters but is rescued by Derek. After they are safe, Scott accuses him of ruining his life. However, Derek tells Scott that the bite is a gift, that he is the only one who can help the latter gain control, and that they are brothers now. 
The next day, Stiles finds the half-naked Scott and drives him home. Stiles promises that Scott can make up with Allison and that he will help his best friend get through this. After reconciling with Allison, Scott is given another chance by her. However, as Allison's father comes to pick her up, Scott recognizes Mr. Argent as the hunter who shot him the night before. 
A few moments later, Scott tells Stiles that Allison is giving him a second chance. However, he also added that Allison's dad, Chris was the one who shot him. During lacrosse, Scott lost his temper and nearly wolfed out because of Jackson and the Coach provoking him. However, Stiles noticed that Scott was about to shift, so he took him to the locker room. Stiles told his brother that he had to get out of lacrosse, even though he is part of first line. Later that night, Derek ambushes Scott and tells him not to play or he will kill him if the hunters won't. Scott tried to get out of the game, but the Coach sees Scott really does not want to. Scott later encounters Allison and Lydia at school, but the latter threatens to introduce Allison to other boys if Scott doesn't play. In the middle of the day, Scott eavesdropped on the Sheriff, who issued a curfew so the others can try to find the body. Later, after seeing Allison is in possession of her coat after seeing it in the woods, Scott angrily confronts Derek at his house. The older werewolf tells Scott that everything will fall apart when his friends and mother find out about his lycanthropy. Later that night, after Derek leaves, Scott and Stiles find the other half of the Young woman's body buried under a Wolfsbane spiral. The next afternoon, Stiles and Scott called Derek in, having him arrested in the process. Stiles snuck onto the sheriff's car, much to Scott's annoyance. After getting frustrated with Stiles, Scott quickly ran away and visited Allison's home, almos about ot attack her. However, Scott is shaken by his werewolf appearance after seeing it for the first time. He quickly fled; However, Chris Argent accidentally hit Scott with his car; however he does not recognize Scott from the night beforeAllison and Chris help him up, with both going to the game together. 
The next night, Scott nearly shapeshifted in front of everyone. After shooting the winning goal, Scott fled to the boy's locker room. Allison followed after hm, unaware of Scott approaching her. However, his werewolf form disappeared and Scott found himself in the showers. He finds Allison has checked on him and she proceeded to kiss him, officially commencing their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend. Stiles appears before them as Allison said goodbye to them both. Before Scott left, Stiles told Scott that Derek had been acquitted of all charges because the medical examiner stated the girl was killed by an animal. Scott is even in more shock when he learned that the body, they found was Laura Hale, Derek's sister. 
A few nights later, Scott prevents the Alpha from mauling Myers, his former boss driver. However, Scott is scratched and wounded, forgetting about the night before. The following morning, Scott tells Stiles about his nightmare of harming Allison. However, he finds out that a part of his dream is true when he and Stiles learn that there was an attack on the school bus driver, Mr. Myers. Not sure what to do, Scott tries to remember what happened that night. However, he still cannot figure it out. Fearing that he could potentially harm Allison after visiting Mr. Myers in the hospital, Scott goes to Derek's house for help. Despite the tension between the two, Derek takes pity on Scott and tells him to go to the bus/accident sight in exchange for Scott's help in return. Following Derek's advice, Scott goes to the bus and remembers that he was trying to stop the Alpha from killing Myers. The next day, after a date with Allison, Stiles tells Scott that Myers died from his wounds. Believing Derek to be responsible, Scott confronts him at his house and a fight ensues. After Derek insists that he is not the one who bit him, Scott suddenly remembers the events from a few nights ago when he touches Derek's scratch marks on him. Two nights ago, the Alpha inflicted a similar wound on Scott when he was trying to save Myers. Furthermore, the werewolf from Scott's memories had red eyes, not blue like Derek's. The latter informs Scott that they are just Betas, and the werewolf is the Alpha, the most dangerous of their kind and the one his sister was hunting. It also turns out that Scott is the one the Alpha wants, as bitten werewolves are a part of the pack of the Alpha who bites them.

==Personality==
Scott McCall used to act like a normal teenager: both ambitious, determined but socially awkward. He shared Stiles' curiosity about finding a dead body. Prior to his transformation into werewolf, Scott looked out for his mother by taking jobs at the animal clinic. At first an immature teenager, Scott's time as a werewolf made him become mature, confident and caring towards others. However, he had fits of rage especially on the nights of the full moon. After spending time with Allison, Stiles helps Scott realized Allison was his anchor. He starts to accept his werewolf heritage as a gift and not a curse and begins to act as if he has been one his entire life. Scott became more in control of his rage and transformation even more when Melissa tells her son to be his own anchor instead. He also has a tendency of lurking in the shadows or
Scott is also a skilled tactician, so much that Peter Hale, a master manipulator, who has stated that the young alpha was remarkable talent for overcoming any odds. During the long run with Theo Raeken and the Beast of Gevaudan, Scott formulated plans with both Argent and Deucalion, outwitting both Theo and Gerard in the process. He is also very empathetic, as he felt Erica Reyes having a seizure and understand why Chris still had a small instinct to shoot him before it disappeared completely.
Unlike most Alphas, Scott doesn't seek power like Peter Hale and Deucalion. While he was a Beta, they both forced their wills on him with the Alpha Roar. Unlike them, Scott never uses his alpha voice on any of his Betas or any of his other friends unless it was absolutely necessary. This characteristic was demonstrated on both Liam's first full moon and his first supermoon as a Werewolf.  During which Liam lost control and viciously attacked Scott, who only used the bare minimum amount of power to block his blows. He later used his alpha roar on Eli Hale, only so he could trigger the younger werewolf's healing abilities. 
Out of all the things he protects, Scott has come to accept his role as the protector of Beacon Hills, as his pack's previous predecessor, the Hales once did. He watches over innocents, which includes his friends, his family, his pack and the town. However, sometimes Scott's will to protect others can be taken advantage of. When he viewed Corey's memories in his plan to capture one of the Dread Doctors,  Scott's plan backfired when Hayden Romero and Liam were kidnapped instead.  
After his second death and resurrection,  Scott became more mature, confident and self-assured. However, while holding his morals high, Scott became more predatorial, chosing to enact forced on the Beast of Gévaudan and the Ghost Riders. His influence has even helped to redeem many characters, such as Allison, Derek, Isaac, Ethan, Aiden, and Deucalion, among others.
