“How is he?” Laurence asked as he poked his head into Mateo’s room.
Landon stood up from the bed and bent over to place a gentle kiss on Brooklyn’s forehead. She gave him a tight smile as she remained in the chair next to the bed and squeezed his hand before dropping it as the distance became too much to hold onto.
Landon had known of a place that was close to where the car flew over the bridge. He knew they were in another pack’s territory, but Landon had already app
Eva jumped slightly as Laurence placed a light blanket on her shoulders. She was so deep in her thoughts that she almost forgot he was there. He sat down with her on the ground and handed her a mug. The amber liquid had a small white bag floating around it, the tea giving off a citrus aroma. He then placed a bowl in her lap with a metal spoon sticking out of the warm liquid. “I hope yo
Eva covered the end of the flashlight with the gray sack slung over her shoulder and smashed it into the glass, shattering it with as little noise as possible. The small pieces scattered and glittered in the moonlight as they delved onto the hard concrete, their harsh edges the only thing making them visible in the darkness. Eva waited silently, listening intently for an alarm or people freaking out. When nothing caught her attention, she snaked her thin arm between the sharp contours of the glass and flicked her wrist so she could reach the lock. She clicked the lock in the opposite direction to unlock the door and
“Excuse me, what the heck was that? What do you think you’re doing?” Eva yelled, her hard stomps shaking the walls as she trekked angrily in his direction.Laurence was beyond shocked that he found his mother and mate had broken into his father’s house and were searching through his safe. But he was even more shocked when Eva had angrily kicked him out of the office and insisted he wait outside for her.
Laurence’s mind was finally pulled from the fog when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He internally groaned and ignored it, pulling Eva closer to his body so he supported more of her weight. When his phone started vibrating again, this time it was Eva who pulled back, her delicate features almost completely hidden from the night. “Do you need to get that?”
“Why aren’t you dating him?” Mateo spoke just over a whisper so his words would only find her, even in their house full of werewolves.Eva tightened her arms around her to
Laurence slipped another glance at Eva, who was now curled up against his truck door sleeping. Her chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm and for the first time in what felt like forever, she didn’t look like she carried the world on her shoulders. He felt his lips twitch up at the sight of her. She was safe, he had to keep reminding himself. It felt too good to be true that she was safe and with him and he knew he would do anything to keep her that way.
Eva could feel the sun peeking between her eyelids through the open window and she groaned, curling into Laurence’s warm body and hiding her face from the blinding light. She was well aware that she was practically on top of him, just like how they had fallen asleep, but couldn’t bring herself to care about how she was sprawled all over him. She inhaled deeply now that she had stuffed her face into his chest and almost moaned at the de
Laurence instantly noticed Eva’s gaze darken and when the color slipped from her eyes, he froze. He stood slowly, knowing that the eyes looking back at him no loner belonged to his mate. Her eyes changed from her gorgeous hazel to a dark obsidian in the matter of seconds and she pulled her lips up, snarling at him. He carefully reached back and looped his arm over a thick tree branch and placed his feet on another branch that was close by, but no longer where Eva was.
