Who are they?
"They are here Ashton. They are here for us… and for our family." he mumbled. Ashton was taken aback as soon as he heard those words. A chill ran through his spine despite the warmth of his mate lying directly above him. He had enough family, and the one he cared about most right now was lying just above him.
Seeing the peaceful face of Caleb, and simply imagining anything happening to that face, terrified the crap out of Ashton. He wanted nothing more than to cast a protective spell around his mate, and everyone else in his family. Alas he was a pureblooded… or at least an Pureblood-Valestine hybrid of a werewolf.
Caleb was considerably much heavier in his wolf form than his human form. However, Ashton, with the power of Alvaro at the moment, was strong enough to pull him off of himself, without waking the former. When Caleb was comfortable enough in the bed, with steady steps Ashton exited the room.
