Derek notices the uptick in the other wolf's heart when his eyes flash, and it makes the animal, alpha part of him want to exert his power, make the other wolf bare his neck and obey, sink his teeth in and claim. His gums itch with the urge to drop his fangs, and his eyes glow bright red as he tries to get himself in control. He's been an alpha without a pack for far too long, embracing his animal side and living wild, so it takes him a moment.
This wolf isn't his beta, and he has no right to try and make him his, but he finds himself craving that power, that pack connection. He takes a breath in through his mouth and swallows hard, blinking slowly. Between one blink and the next his eyes go from red to hazel, but he's still exuding power, and alpha.
God, he really has been in the woods too long. He clears his throat and tries to ignore the tension. "A little over a year and a half for me. How are you settling in?"
