Steven endured the shower of love and excitement as best he good. Of course Steven loved these people, who were essentially his adopted family. He was simply not the type to make a big show of it, although he understood why the others had too. “It’s good to see all of you as well, really I’m glad you've all been safe” He gave Luke and small smile “My ride was quiet, just the way I like it. How have you been, has everything being handled?” Just then Sam walked into the room and Steven could not help but to smile wider. Sam, that handsome, cocky bastard whom he loved so much. At first Steven had resented the fact that Sam was the Alpha’s son, that he would have everything handed to him while Steven had to earn every bit of his position. But soon he couldn't help but get caught up in Sam’s easy manner and charm. There was something genuine about him, as if he never had to hide himself from anyone. It was refreshing, and, Steven had to note, attractive. Sam saw his position as a curse as much as a blessing, and that humility was not something one often saw from an Alpha’s son.<br/><br/>“I thought I smelled something nasty. Glad to see that you can make it home by yourself without me holding your hand,” He favored Sam with a quick grin that he reserved specially for his best friend. Steven reached out and put his hand on Sam’s shoulder, and let his long slender fingers brush up against his friend’s skin and linger there for a moment.<br/><br/>Steven looked up and saw Luke leading the girl Hannah down the stairs. She seemed a little scared, maybe a little frightened of him. He had that effect on people, his constant suspicion was necessary to keep the pack safe. At the same time it put a barrier between him and others. Seeing her walking down like that, looking innocent and nervous, part of him wanted to actually drop his anger and reassure her. Every time he glanced at her…<br/><br/>He shook his head, as if trying to physically drive the thoughts from his mind. For some reason he could not stay logical. He looked up and saw Luke beaming at her with a look of happiness he had never seen on the man before. This was the dangerous effect she had on people. Who was this girl? She stopped next to him for a moment and gave him an enigmatic smile, while Luke looked on hopefully. Steven knew Luke had plans for the girl, plans that would involve Sam and him getting to know her better. And to his shame he found himself wanting to do that very much. He felt like a doddering adolescent with a school boy crush. But he managed to turn the shame into anger at whatever she was doing to him. He took a step close to her in order to seem more intimidating.<br/><br/>“Hannah. I see you've been well.  Now that I’m back I would like to have a private chat with you when you get the chance, I do the same with all new arrivals” That much at least was true, although even then he did not know if his motivations were truly the safety of the pack or something else. With that he stepped back next to Sam to allow him a chance to meet Hannah. No doubt he would sweep her off her feet, he thought, with a pang of jealousy, although he did not know which of the two to direct that jealousy towards.<br/>
