[He can't help the way his eyes close, letting both their animal natures breath together. He seperates her, in his mind, learning the nuances of her scent as she learns his. She's a different person, so he compartmentalises. He puts her in her own distinct place in his mental category of pack.
When she draws back, smiles at him, his heart hurts but this time it's more pride for her than pain for the other Allison. The memories of that other version of himself are hazy, distant, indistinct. He knew about the potential in her, that True Alpha just waiting for a chance to break through, but it's a different thing to see it. Those rings of red are beautiful. They're so beautiful. Of course Allison Argent would step in to fill that gap and rise up to become what her version of Scott never could. Of course it would be her.
His jaw tenses when she says his last name - the other him, Lahey - with what he hears, whether she meant to show it or not, as little venom. That asshole, what he could have been if things had been different, the insane wolf who ripped his father's throat out and delivered a boy on a platter for Erica to slaughter. He remembers that, too.]
I'm with you. [Pack makes you stronger, literally. He wants to make her as strong as she can be.] We protect each other.
