I don't know what he's like anymore. The man I married would never--
--Alright, that's enough. [ Hank cuts in before it gets too ugly. He's not interested in hearing his ex-wife argue with... his mate. Shit. He's gonna have to freak out about that later. Right now he needs to be a tough alpha. He straightens up, standing tall and certain even if he doesn't feel it. ]
Beth, I love you, but I don't owe you shit about this. If the werewolves outside the city got a problem with me, they can talk to me. [ yeah, maybe Hank doesn't have experience being an alpha, but he can guess, goddammit. ] And if you have a problem with my mate, then you can talk to me, too.
[ He takes a deep breath. Honestly, having Gavin there helps. Maybe accidentally mating him isn't the best way to start this thing they seem to have, but god if it doesn't feel good to have him. ]
I know what I said -- and yeah, I promised I wouldn't start my own pack and do this shit, but I'm not interested in taking over Detroit or doing anything besides living in fucking peace. Reed's a good guy, he's got a brother and he's a good cop. I turned him to save his life and I don't fucking regret it. [ It's incredible how calm he sounds, when he's such an anxious wreck inside. ] I don't plan on turning anyone else, but if I see someone I know dying because of me, I can't just leave 'em. Not again.
[ Haha, yeah let's not think about Cole though. Hank changes the subject immediately. ]
Shit, I don't even know that many people, and I sure as hell can't turn androids. So tell your "people" that it's fine. I can take care of myself. Detroit isn't gonna go to the dogs because of me.
