Grayson. The Sons of Crosby, #4

Misty Quartermain met Sean Crosby in college. One night, before they'd met, he'd saved her from a vicious vampire attack and after that they become close friends. He'd shared his family secrets with her and took a little of her blood so that they'd always share a connection. Sean knew Misty wasn't his mate, but he'd always felt protective of her. A few years later, when Misty and her family were in trouble and on the run, Sean enlisted his family to come to their aid.
Grayson Crosby had always been somewhat of a loner. He mostly kept to himself but was there for the family when they needed him. Sean said he needed help to keep his college friend safe so Grayson was there for him, maybe not enthusiastically, but there. He heard Sean making the family introductions and came out of the kitchen. His beast suddenly had the poor woman backed into the wall."You said that she knows all about us?" Sean said that she did and that he was terrifying her.
"Yeah, I know, but my beast, he won't let me go enough to help her.""Well, let me help you then. I'm sick of men running over me." Misty doubled up her fist and hit Grayson square in the nose. Then, when he was going back, she swung her leg around and did a round house slap with her foot to his head. He went to the floor in a thud, breaking the end table behind him.
