That night, he managed almost three and a half hours alone on the couch before he had to go seek out Hunter. The alpha had been moving around upstairs and was now working away in the kitchen making them dinner. Cade wrapped his arms around Hunter’s waist and pressed against his back.

“You can work like this, right?” he asked.

Hunter snorted. “Sure. It’s not an impediment at all to have another human being clinging to you like we’re on a sinking ship.”

Oh. Cade loosened his arms and took a half-step back. Hunter caught his hands before he could let go and drew him forward.

“Sorry, it’s not you, it’s me. Cooking is not my forte, it makes me antsy and bad-tempered as you can see.”

“I could cook if you want,” Cade ventured.

In a lightning-fast move, Hunter spun them around, moving Cade in front of him to face the stove and wrapping his arms around the omega.

“Much better,” he said. “I feel so much more relaxed.”

Laughing, Cade got to work.

They ate on the couch, shoulder to shoulder. Once they were finished, Hunter took Cade’s plate and set it down on top of his.

“We’ll leave tomorrow morning. My bike is at the pack house, so we’ll have to sneak over there without being seen. We’ll leave early, take the longer route through the forest and avoid the other’s houses, grab my bike, push it down to the road, and take off. By the time they realize what’s happened, we’ll be long gone.”

And Cade would be on his way home, finally.

“I was planning to steal it, you know.”

“Steal what?” Hunter asked, sounding amused.

“Your bike. I was going to take your keys and hide them with the food in my backpack.”

“What stopped you?”

“I never got the chance to take them. It was probably for the best though. Can you imagine Angus’ response if he’d found them?”

Hunter grunted in agreement. “Yeah, we saw Angus’ reaction to you having some clothes packed in a bag. You with the keys to my bike, I think his head might have exploded.”

“Is exploding head syndrome still common among wolves? I thought it had died out.”

Hunter stilled next to him. “You’re joking, right?” The alpha didn’t sound all that certain.

Cade looked up at him, his eyebrows raised. “Yes, I’m joking. Are you really that gullible?”

Hunter shook his head. “Think about it like this. Even since I’ve been born, I’ve been told all these stories. About people whose bodies literally break down, turning from human to animal and back in front of your very eyes. Terrible, catastrophic injuries healing, right in front of you. Fated loves, a bond with someone that’s so strong that it’s written into nature itself. I’ve been told, since I was old enough to listen, to believe in all that even though I’ve never seen in. I’ve also never seen an exploding head. But when you put them side by side, does it seem that far-fetched?”

He knew the alpha was joking but Cade had the sudden urge to break down and tell Hunter everything.
