Chapter 8

Separation hurts like hell

Max lies in the bed next to Heather for what seems like hours, watching her sleep. Seeing her relaxed face and listening to her even breaths not only soothes the man, but also the wolf. He inhales her scent as she burrows her body into his and only the singular thought of home runs through his mind.

The buzzing from his jeans on the floor interrupts his musings and, unfortunately, this is the fourth time it’s rang since he put Heather to sleep, so he can no longer ignore it. He just wanted a little more time with her before facing reality, but he needs to check in with Jeremiah to see where he’s at with Jim.

After the phone goes off a fifth time, Max decides it's time to face the music. He eases himself away from Heather’s sleeping form, being cautious not to wake her. He then quietly pads his bare feet toward his pile of clothes, silently sliding on his jeans. Max reaches in the pocket removing his cell and taps the bottom button. Along with the five missed calls, he sees several text messages from Jeremiah. He lets out a harsh exhale as he unlocks the phone, his thumb hovering over the call back button. Right before he presses down, the phone rings again, so he answers the call.

“Where have you been?” Jeremiah shouts through the phone, causing Max wince at his brash tone. “I have been calling and texting you for over an hour.”

“Hold on a sec,” Max whispers, his eyes drifting over to Heather’s sleeping form. He steps out of the room, softly shutting the door in order to finish the conversation.

“Yeah,” Max grumbles, frantically pacing the living room.

“Is that all you have to say?” Jeremiah pauses, taking in a deep breath. “Seriously, man, where the fuck have you been? I’ve been waiting for you to get back to me for over an hour.”

“I’m at her place,” he immediately answers. “I’ll send you the address.”

Max ends the call, texts Jeremiah the information and sits on the couch to wait for his arrival.

Running his fingers through his hair, he tries to come up with a plan to keep Heather safe and the only thing he can think of is to … leave the pack. The mere idea scares the shit out of him because he would have to leave the rest of his family behind and they’d be at the mercy of his brother. But deep down he knows she’s more important, and though it will kill him making Kenzi and the others vulnerable, his heart won’t be able to handle it if his brother did something to Heather.

Twenty minutes later, Jeremiah announces his arrival via text and Max jogs to the front of the house to open the door.

“Final–.” Jeremiah pauses in the doorway, eyeing Max up and down.

“Dude, why are you not wearing a shirt?” Jeremiah bends forward sniffing the air surrounding Max. “And why in the hell do you smell
