“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.
The realization of what he had just done came like a bucket of cold water and he instantly released her shoulder, stepped back from hovering over her. What had he just done? He just marked a wolf that was raging out of control and had no sense of the world around her.
Eva inhaled sharply, letting Laurence’s manly scent wash over her. She finally gripped his shoulders in her hands, squeezing the hard muscles that rippled under her touch. “Laurence, I can’t.” Laurence frowned and leaned his forehead on h
Eva leaned back into the sofa, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath from the comfort that surrounded her stiff shoulders. For a moment, she tuned out the tense conversation around her and focused on relieving the tension gathered in her shoulders. What felt like hours had probably only been thirty minutes, but the intense subject was getting to be too much to take in right now. The voices around her continued to talk about Lincoln and how to get him out, al
