THE COPS DON'T LEAVE for hours.
We're all drooping and exhausted by the time they drive off, promising to look into it, but not looking too confident they'll be successful. At least they're planning to keep a car in front of their house so hopefully whoever pulled the shit will think twice before trying again.
But if they were brazen enough to do this while the whole pack was home in the middle of the day, who knows what they might try tonight. What if they set the place on fire?
The alphas reheat dinner, coaxing the rest of us to eat, even though none of us have much of an appetite.
Oliver finally shoves his plate away. "Sorry, but this isn't cutting it. The food is delicious, but we're all too wound up for this. I say we go puppy pile on the couch again, and keep going with the anime we started. We can focus on that while we try to forget all this other bullshit."
Callan nods. ”I’ll make popcorn."
Oliver slides off his chair. ”I’ll make the iced coffees. I have a feeling none of us are going to be sleeping well tonight. And Callan will need it."
"Bring the chips and salsa too, maybe,” I suggest.
I really fucking love those.
Callan flashes me a smile. “Will do."
"Should we be offended?" Grey asks.
Oliver kisses his alpha’s cheek. “Snacks are comforting while your delicious but healthy meal is... not."
Grey huffs. “I’d leave you to fend for yourself from now on, but I don't want you to burn down the house or die young from heart disease, so I'll let this go this once."
I snicker at their bickering, enjoying the back and forth of this pack. Everyone is such snarky bitches. They really are kindred spirits.
Before we can start our binge-watching, we're interrupted yet again by the doorbell.
Enzo freezes halfway out of his seat. “This jackass wouldn't come to the front door, right?"
I frown. “Maybe the cops came back?"
Callan heads towards the door. “I’ll get it. The rest of you, stay back."
Oliver scoffs and follows right along with Callan. “Yeah, that's likely. I'm sick of being left behind. I want to take a bite out of these assholes too."
Enzo, Grey, and I are already on our feet and joining them.
Callan throws his hands up into the air. “Fucks' sake, fine. We can all shuffle to the front door to confront what is probably something completely innocuous."
