Chapter Fifteen

Asher

Valentina and the guys lived in a much better part of town than Onyx, and I suspected that was part of the reason they’d asked to use their kitchen to cook me dinner. Also, they were probably better equipped. I gathered the two large bouquets of flowers from the passenger seat and started up the walkway, only to be greeted by Valentina and her mates exiting, coughing.

“We’re going out to eat.” Valentina’s eyes were red and streaming. “We will give the three of you some privacy.”

“Good luck, bro,” Fox said before bursting into laughter.

V slapped him on the arm. “Just for that, you can clean up when we get back.”

Fox paled but then laughed even more. “It’s all right. I’d like to say I’ve seen worse but…”

“Enjoy your dinner,” Bishop called over his shoulder.

Although I’d not had any reason to think my mates were chefs, Bishop’s smirk and the others’ comments had me just a little worried. But no matter what they prepared, I’d smile and eat it. Probably something like quiche that they figured I’d hate. And that had V laughing until she cried, judging by her red eyes. I’d eat whatever girly food and love it because they made it for me.

The fact they tried was good enough for me. And in the future, I’d cook if they didn’t want to, or we could all take classes together. It would be so cute, the two of them bundled up in aprons with chef’s caps on while we created homemade pasta or stuffed casings with deliciously spiced sausage mixture.

I knocked on the door, excited again for an evening having dinner with my mates. Any time spent with them was better than time spent anywhere else with anyone else. And even the greenest, most protein-lacking salad would taste good with them.

Nobody answered, and after another attempt, I tried the knob. It was not locked. Twisting it, I pushed the door open and called, “Onyx? Raven? I’m here?” Maybe one day I’d be saying I’m home. They still didn’t answer, and I took a step inside before choking on the smoke pouring from the back of the apartment.

My wolf went on full alert, and it took all my strength to keep him at bay while I raced through the living room and down a short hallway. Danger had all the hairs on my body standing on end and while I appreciated the wolf’s desire to take the lead, he was more useful outdoors than in a home—usually.

Female voices rose to high pitches as I stepped into the smoky kitchen. No actual flames rose from the stove where they shuffled back and forth, waving their hands and coughing. A lot like the others had been, but I’d been too focused on my plan for the evening to give it the thought I should have. Striding forward, I grasped each of my mates by an arm and moved them back from the stove.

“Go outside and breathe,” I ordered while turning off the burners and reaching up to flip the switch for the overhead fan.
