* * * *

Blake walked in Thomas’ living room to find his best friend fighting with their alpha.

“You can’t think it’s a good idea! God, why did I even say yes to this? It’s crazy.”

Blake looked at Craig, who was sitting on the couch and reading a newspaper. He sat next to him and tilted his chin toward the two fighting men. “What’s up with them?”

“They’re fighting over Corbin.”

“Why?”

Craig folded his newspaper and put it on his knees before looking at Blake. “Because Kameron asked us to let Corbin live here and to let him spend time with Eli, and Craig agreed. Then Kameron told him he’d enrolled Corbin in high school.”

“Corbin is going to live here?”

“Yup. In fact, Eli is showing him around as we talk.” Blake made to get up, but Craig grabbed his arm and stopped him. “Before you go apeshit-crazy like Thomas did, give Eli a chance. He’s not stupid or unable to protect himself, and he can make his own decisions.”

Blake slumped back down. “I know. I just want to protect him.”

“Yeah, and you’ll end up pushing him away if you don’t let him be. You haven’t talked to him for the past six years. I don’t know how Eli was when he was a kid, but I can tell you what kind of man he is now. He’s strong, and he has a good head on his shoulders. Did you know he was the one to tell Thomas it was okay to be gay and to have a male mate?”

“I didn’t.”

“He did. He also told Thomas that he shouldn’t stay with Laura if he was unhappy, and that he was only making the two of them and Eli and Carissa unhappy.”

“That’s...”

“Yeah. Leave him be, Blake. He’s not a kid you have to protect, even though he’s still so young. He’s lived under Erskine’s thumb, just like you, and it made him mature so much faster, especially after he realized he was gay and what it could mean for him if the wrong people found out. Corbin might be trained to kill, and he might not have a clue as how to be social, but from what I know about him he’s not a bad kid. He’s just eighteen, like Eli, and he should have a chance at a normal life. Besides, if anything happens, Corbin is more than able to protect Eli.”

The room was quiet and Blake realized Thomas and Kameron were done fighting and were now listening to his and Craig’s conversation. Blake looked at them. Thomas was still scowling, but that had been his default expression since they were kids. Blake had noticed he’d mellowed a bit, and he didn’t know if it was due to the time that had passed since he’d left or to Craig’s presence. He was obviously angry now, though, but Blake wasn’t sure at what.

“So...” It was awkward, and Blake was grateful when Kameron pointed his thumb at the door.

“I need to go. Thanks for taking Corbin in, and call me if you or he need anything.
