At that moment, Embry was curled up against his side. The young shifter was exhausted and confused and appeared to be in quite a lot of pain – the bruises on his wrists were worrying to Alec, as was the general state of this mansion that he'd been sent to investigate.
He wished fervently that he had never let him come here with him; Embry seemed susceptible to whatever curse it was that haunted this place, but nothing had tried to touch him yet.
In fact, the strange... creatures that wandered this place avoided him. He wondered if it had to do with the fact that he wasn't human and they recognized that, or maybe it had to do with how his race was typically associated with death and darkness and perhaps even hell. For whatever reason, he was glad for that.
But he still couldn't figure out what to do about whatever it was that was afflicting Embry.
It scared him.
At that moment, though, all that mattered was that Embry was still warm and alive beside him and that was all that mattered. He would think about what to do next in a few minutes. Right then, he just wanted to stay with Embry for a few more minutes.
FIN.
