Derek and Isaac stand there in front of the open doorway, sizing the new arrivals up, and then share a look between them.
Neither Carlos or Kevin are quite what he pictured, but at the same time they are exactly what he expected. Still, he doesn't know how he feels about having them here so soon, and the urge to protect his territory is strong, even though he hopes Brigid - and, by extension, the pack - can make allies of them.
He stands there, waiting, and watches from the safe distance, not quite daring to move as he gives them space to get reacquainted.
It's not until Carlos mentions the idea of him hurting her that he finds himself biting back a growl, but Kevin doesn't help; he offers a stiff nod of confirmation when he advises him to keep her safe, because he will, but the threat - or the idea of a potential threat, anyway - is what finally has him releasing a low, warning growl.
"Unless she wants to go, she's not going anywhere."
