Big Bad Alphas

Chapter 22 Chapter 23

   "You have to go?" I ask him one last time.

   "Just for a few days, three at the most."

   I nod. "Just be careful and don't do anything crazy."

   Eric and Heath both toss their bags into the back of the car. "I feel like I should be telling you that," he smiles and pulls me in for a hug. I breathe in his delicious scent.

     I smile brightly. "Well, look at the time, you two don't want to be late." Eric places his hands on my shoulders after I try to rush him in the car. "I will miss you."

   "Please," his tone turns serious, "be careful. When I come back, I do not want to see one scratch on you, okay?"

   "Okay."

   Eric's leans down and kisses me softly, sending my nerves into a frenzy. Heath hitting the car horn drives us apart, and we say our goodbyes fairly quickly, as Heath was continuously honking. Once the car takes off and disappears from my view, Caroline pokes her head out the front door. I rush up to her, and we get comfortable in the living room. "So, Eric and Heath, what exactly are they doing out at the Yurie Pack?"

  "Just border control stuff. Eric has been caught up in rogue sightings along our north borders, so he is visiting them to learn if they have had any problems."

   "And that takes three days?" I question.

   "They will probably go out searching for any camps between our two packs," Caroline explains. "If there are camps, rogues could be stealing from us, sneaking past guards, and what not."

   My mind wanders. What if they get into the house when we are sleeping? "That's unsettling."

   "I wouldn't worry too much. Most of the time they are just strays looking for a pack to join."

"Most of the time?"
