Scrubbing his face, he stared into the fire. Okay, so maybe he was starting to care about her. And she'd just saved his life. But there were some things he wasn't willing to go near. His relatives. They deserved better than him, so he stayed away. The pack deserved better, too, but he couldn't just up and leave. Well, he could, but it was a bad idea, especially if Sebastian couldn't hold them. He couldn't risk another wolf like Marcus, becoming king.
