Chapter 8

The shrill ring of the phone woke her. She groaned, burrowing deeper into Max’s warmth. For his part, Max seemed to be of the same mind. His arms pulled her close, one big hand petting her from the base of her neck to the curve of her butt before settling there.

The ringing stopped for a moment, before the trill started up again. Laurie opened her eyes and gazed at the far wall, but still didn’t leave the comfort of Max’s embrace. A growl rumbled in the chest under her ear, the only sign the second call had disturbed him at all.

Once again, the ringing stopped only to start up again a moment later. Max turned, jolting her as his arm slid out from under her, and roared at his cell phone sitting on the nightstand. If only that would actually work.

Alright then. Not a morning person. Still he made no move to pick it up. With a huff of a laugh, Laurie crawled over him and grabbed the phone.

“Might as well answer it. I don’t think they’re giving up until you do.” His glare would have frightened a lesser woman. Lucky for both of them, Laurie didn’t scare easily. She’d never backed down from a fight yet. After a quick peck on his cheek as he took the phone, she scrambled out of bed. Neon green offered a glowing 4:00 from the clock on the nightstand.

She barely suppressed her groan of frustration. Getting back to sleep would be next to impossible, despite barely three hours. But she supposed that was just the hazards of mating with a Premier. And unless Max’s pack had a habit of bothering him this early in the morning for trifling problems, something Laurie couldn’t see Max putting up with, they’d probably need to be up regardless.

Heading to the bathroom, she pulled out her toothbrush and toothpaste, keeping one ear tuned to Max in the bedroom as she brushed her teeth.

Wolf hearing was good enough that she’d have heard both sides of the conversation if she’d stayed in bed. But even though they were mates, her place in the pack was still up in the air. It had only been a little more than a week since she’d moved to New York. Despite the strides they’d made in their relationship, especially the night before, they still didn’t know each other that well yet. Listening too closely would feel like a violation of privacy. Besides, she wanted Max to come to her with his problems, not to hear them by eavesdropping.

Still, she’d never claimed to be a saint. So she listened to Max’s side of the conversation from the bathroom. An illusion of privacy.

He’d been concerned at first, confirming her suspicions that he didn’t let his pack run to him with petty arguments at all hours of the night. But his tone had quickly changed. Max was asking questions. Unfortunately, one-word questions. When, how, and what, didn’t give her any clues about who was on the phone or what they were discussing.
