"It isn't the same for all wolves, but yes," Luke says with a nod. "I do. It's so easy to dismiss it as just a group of wolves who hunt together, but the loyalty that runs through a pack runs deep. Werewolves will do anything to keep each other safe, their pack are the people they love and trust the most."

For Derek especially, Luke knows his pack is his family, the ones he's closer to than absolutely anyone in the world. For Luke it hasn't always been like that. More often than not, his pack has been his army, soldiers that he's had to drag to war, but he very much prefers the other definition. He prefers to think of them as family and that's the very reason he can't limit the definition to other werewolves.

"Things change when you're turned into a werewolf," he says, then smiles faintly. "Besides the obvious. The instinct to be around people who are important is very strong and it's often due to necessity that it's kept to other werewolves. So few people are willing to accept us as we are."
