"I will," Leo said with a nod. "Are you sure you can get through the barrier? I don't want you harmed."

Good grief. He really sounded like a concerned, love-struck mate to Brayden. But isn't that what Leo is now? A mate to a werewolf? A Beta no less? He was suddenly thrown into this, so he has no idea how a mate to a Beta werewolf--let a lone a "regular" werewolf--should act. Is he supposed to act all lovey-dovey (yuck) or completely indifferent, but loving, and popping out babies like crazy, thus increasing the size of the pack exponentially? Whatever. Neither option sounded...grand, but what other choice did he have? Well, besides dying anyway.

"Just...be careful and make sure my family doesn't know you made it through the barrier somehow," Leo said. "It might get....messy if that happens. I'll go check on Trevor and leave at least a window open for you."

Leo walked back inside, closing the sliding door but opening a window just enough that Brayden could enter without any problems before going to check up on Trevor.
