"Then the 'parents' need to be killed. They can't send anyone after you if they're both dead. Though, the entire cult might need to be wiped out as well." He crossed his arms over his chest, looking rather thoughtful. He couldn't explain it, but he wanted to help her. It wasn't often he ran across a loner, much less a female one. And she was quite good looking.<br/><br/>"You're welcome to stay here as long as you want, Belle. I have no problem with it. Don't worry about those men. We can handle them. My pack is strong as am I. We won't let anything happen to you."<br/><br/>It was about at that moment that Marie returned, carrying a bowl of herbs mixed together and some bandages. She then paused at Belle's state, finally noticing her wet clothes. "Hm, I didn't think about your clothes. Darius, be a dear and pick her up so we can carry her to one of the bedrooms. She needs to get out of those wet clothes or she'll catch a cold."<br/><br/>Darius nodded and uncrossed his arms, standing up and approaching Belle. He gazed at her, silently asking for permission to pick her up and carrying her to the bedroom. He had no problem taking orders from Marie, even though he was the Alpha. Marie was well respected in the pack and she knew what she was doing.
