Didn't think you had the brains to be a lawyer. Let alone the temperament.
[ No offense. He's joking. Derek's pretty hit-and-miss when it comes to making jokes, though, so maybe that just reads like an insult. Shit. Hold on. ]
I don't know if being a lawyer will change anything. But it's good of you to try. I hope it works out. Let me know if I can do anything too help you.
I'm not going to uproot your life. I'm not going to... force you to live with me, or... force you to give up your goals and aspirations to make the pack your life. I held onto my pack back home too tightly. Things broke. I'm not doing that again. I want you to feel independent. You spent years away from me. Years without an Alpha, as far as I can tell. You survived it. You don't need me to survive. But.
I guess I just want you to know that I'll be here. I'll do everything an Alpha should do. Look out for you, have your back. Protect you when things get rough. There are other people I want in my pack. Wheels are turning. I can let you know if anyone else takes the bite - or I can keep our Alpha/Beta relationship just between us. It's your choice.
No. Tell me. When or if you give it to them. I deserve to know.
My confidence in your house hunting abilities isn't high, but if it's not an abandoned subway station or a burnt down house in the middle of the woods, I'd consider it.
Also, there are others I'm starting to consider my pack, others I trust. I know McCall's Pack was made up of more than shapeshifters. Does pack in your eyes extend to people I trust?
I'm not... like Scott. I can't trust people based on word of mouth alone. If they're important to you - good. Fine. I'm not going to intrude on that. They aren't my pack. But they can be yours.
What do you have against abandoned subway stations? They're enclosed. Safe.
