CLAIMED BY MY STEPBROTHERS
"The pack is asking questions. About her. About why you brought a hybrid here, why you're protecting her so fiercely."
"Tell them she's under my protection. That's all they need to know."
"Dane." Harry's voice dropped lower. "They're not stupid. They can smell the mate bond on you. Incomplete, but there. This is going to cause problems."
"Then they'll deal with it." I finally looked at him, and whatever he saw in my expression made him take a step back. "I don't care about pack politics right now, Harry. I don't care about the Council, or Garrett, or anyone else. She almost died tonight. In my arms. Because I was too weak to protect her properly."
