While Gabriel laughed and splashed gleefully in the tub, Claudia continued to inspect her mate. Although Alex had assured her that he was not hurt, she needed to make sure that he really wasn't. She let him kiss her but continued inspecting him as he called Caius over and narrated what had happened earlier. She only relaxed and wrapped her arms possessively around Alex's waist when she had made sure that he really was okay.

Caius did as was requested. He silently walked back to the bathroom and stood in the doorway. Even when the vampire had walked into the room, Caius already smelled two distinct scents on him. The blood of a vampire and a wolf. A regular wolf would have attacked, assuming that the vampire had killed one of their own from the smell alone. But Caius was far from being a regular wolf. He had the capability of staying calm and listening to reason before passing judgement, a characteristic that made him invaluable to Darric and the entire pack.  When Alex recounted how he had met Caius' alpha, he nodded, hearing the truth in his words. [color=turquoise]"Thank you for saving one of us. I admire you for adhering to what was right and not merely acting based on the loyalty that comes with friendship. I am, however, sorry for your loss."[/color] 

Claudia looked at Caius then at Alex. A proud look was on her face. [color=palevioletred]"Thank you,"[/color] she said. She watched him toss another toy into the tub and smiled. The man she had imprinted on was truly amazing. [color=palevioletred]"And like my brother, I am sorry to hear that you lost yet another friend,"[/color] she looked towards her twin and gave him a look that meant that he was to watch the little boy still splashing in the tub. Caius gave her a curt nod before Claudia led her soon to be husband out into the room. [color=palevioletred]"Are you okay?"[/color] she asked. [color=palevioletred]"And I don't mean physically."[/color]
