Chapter 8

Bailey opened the door and peered into the living room. It was empty. He looked behind the door and down the hall. That, too, was empty. He entered the house and quietly closed the door behind him. He turned to go up the stairs and stopped short at the sight of Evan standing there with his arms crossed over his chest.

“Sneaking in?” Evan asked with a smirk.

“Not sneaking per se, just coming in quietly,” Bailey explained with a shrug.

“Uh-huh. So are you back to stay or are you just here to pick up your things?” Evan asked hesitantly.

Bailey swallowed. “I’m here to stay. At least for now.” He shrugged. “I don’t know where I’ll be after Lexi and I mate though.”

“Probably at the Alpha house. Lexi is an enforcer of the inner pack, so he has to live in the Alpha house,” Evan explained. “And being one of the Alpha’s kill enforcers means he would have to stay close by as well,” Evan said nonchalantly.

Bailey’s eyes went wide. “Lexi is a kill enforcer?”

Evan’s brows rose in surprise. “You didn’t know that?”

“No,” Bailey answered and began biting his thumbnail.

“Knowing that doesn’t change your mind about being his mate does it?” Evan asked in concern.

“No, I just…I can’t picture Lexi as a hit man. He’s so sweet and funny. It just goes against his personality.”

“Maybe the way he is is the way he deals with his job,” Evan offered.

“Probably,” Bailey said while looking at the floor, his mind deep in thought about Lexi. His mate was so wonderful and patient. And so understanding. It didn’t compute in his head how Lexi could be a kill enforcer.

“So, are you hungry or did you eat at the pack house?” Evan asked.

“No, I didn’t eat. And yeah, I am kind of hungry,” Bailey answered hesitantly.

Evan gave him a smile and motioned toward the kitchen. “Well come on. Let’s get you something to eat.” They headed into the kitchen.
