Chris doesn’t tell Allison about them. Chris doesn’t tell Peter about them. Of course, Peter finds out when Chris is looking for specialty ammo in Seattle and the two are there for a shoot and they get drinks at a bar and Peter’s guest lecture just so happens to coincide and everything goes to shit in Chris’ head in point five seconds.

Except, Peter is civil in his suit and tie, every bit the tame wolf he isn’t. Charles and Erik are just as tame, the small little hunter and the big bad wolf.

The way Peter’s eyes take them in, especially Erik, makes Chris wonder if he should have told Peter when they were younger about two blue eyed hunters, bloody and beaten, who met while chained in a basement because they dared to love the creatures they were supposed to hunt.

Charles was always the stronger one, the more loving one. He was still there after Chris left, after Chris caved.

Peter took Chris’ hand and he looked up, startled. Charles and Erik had gone off, restroom, Peter said.

Scent marking because Erik probably though this gorgeous wolf wanted a bit of his hunter. No, this wolf had eyes for only one hunter.

Chris sighed as he tightened his grip around Peter’s hand. No use dwelling.
