Right.
Mates.
So weird.
“Alright.” I drummed my fingers on my thigh—the one he wasn’t touching. “What if I call Elliot from your phone and just ask him to pick up my car? He’ll assume you’re still in wolf form since I’m the one calling, and neither of us will have to lie to your pack.” I paused. “Our pack.”
I didn’t really consider them mine, but I was pretty sure that the first step to adjusting to this shit show was to act like I’d adjusted to it.
He gave me a slow grin. “Evil genius.”
“I know. If I wasn’t going to be a nurse, I’d probably have to take over the world,” I drawled.
He chuckled. “Alright. We have to pick your new phone up in about an hour; we can have him grab that too if you really want him to feel useful. He loves running errands for the pack.”
“Tell me you’re joking.”
Ford flashed me a bigger grin. “Nope. He likes to feel useful. He wouldn’t call it running errands, but it is what it is.”
I laughed, and Ford met my grin with his own.
Damn, he looked good when he was grinning. Even better than when he wasn’t grinning, and he was freakin’ hot when he wasn’t grinning.
I changed the subject before I found myself getting too attracted to him again. “When did you order me a new phone?”
“Earlier today. Had to make up for my wolf eating that damn thing somehow.”
I grimaced. “Your wolf’s a dick.”
“I noticed.”
My head leaned back against the seat. “If you really don’t think Elliot would mind, then it would be nice if he could pick up the car and phone. He’d have to bring someone else with him, though, and I don’t want to bother them.”
“They really won’t mind, Ebb. You’re part of the pack now, and we look out for each other.”
I nodded, holding my hand out for his phone. He gave it to me, and I glanced over at him. “Code?”
“Twelve-twelve. Everyone in the pack uses it for everything, in case some shit goes down and we need to get into each other’s houses or phones.”
Huh.
That sounded kind of nice, actually. Having someone to turn to when you needed them, trusting them that much… that was the kind of thing a girl could get used to.
I typed the code, and then pulled up his contacts and called Elliot.
Ford’s hand found mine, and my body warmed when our fingers threaded together.
“Hello?” Elliot answered on the second ring.
“Hi, Elliot. It’s Ebony.”
“Hey, how’s it going?”
“Ehh, you know…” I trailed off.
He chuckled. “Yeah.”
“I need to ask for a favor.”
