He'd never been claimed by anyone in the previous pack, it was too fun to them to use him as a free for all for whatever was wanted. He didn't know what it would mean to belong to someone specific.

He doesn't know if he's really safe. He doesn't know if he can trust this alpha or his pack. But so far he had let him eat and drink and sleep...he hadn't beaten him. And he's not the one who had murdered Sawyer's family. Already, he has quite a few points in his favor.
