Allison & Deucalion
For all his numerous flaws and faults the Alpha had always remained both honest, and relatively civil in his dealings with others. Even in his efforts to build the perfect Alpha pack he had been upfront from the beginning, so when she asked the string of questions the man simply nodded as he listened. "Straight and to the point, eh? Very well. First off, they never made me leave at all. They simply offered a warning. After leaving Beacon Hills though I headed back to England for a time; going into a bit of self isolation as I adjusted to having my sight back once more...well that and having to face all that had transpired. For the most part I kept to myself, though when matters required my attention I employed Braeden to lend a hand. She was in my employ when she rescued Derek from the hunters in Mexico."
The feel of Kali purring and nuzzling against his neck drew Deucalion's focus for a brief moment, and with a warm chuckle he offered a little brush against the kitten's tail before turning back to gaze at Allison again. "How I came isn't nearly as important as why, and it was Scott who reached out to me. He needed help in handling a young man named Theo whose pack was causing considerable problems for McCall. And so I allowed myself to be captured by them, and used that time among their pack to gather information and lead Theo astray in his efforts to steal the power of the Beast of Gevaudan. Of course your father was a part of the plan too, and he lent considerable support in handling your grandfather as well."
The question of trust gave the old wolf pause for a long moment, and at last he simply shrugged his shoulders before speaking once more. "That is hard to say. Honestly it was a mix of things; lending my aid and support once again when McCall's pack was being hunted by Gerard's army, helping train Malia and Scott to fight without the use of eyes since they were seeking to take down the Anuk-ite...and being gunned down in an ambush by the hunters while helping Scott as well...I suppose it all led to the past being put behind us, and an alliance being forged."
