Stevens-Journey [Brac Pack 20] (16 page)

They climbed out, scanning the area as they entered the building and went up the stairwell. Maverick shoved his shoulder into the apartment door, making it spring open and slam into the wall.

David, or he assumed so, was standing naked at the kitchen sink, running his arm under the water as blood rain down the drain. “You fucking bitch!” Chauncey shouted as he rushed David. “That’s my fucking twin.” He raged as he landed one punch after another.

Maverick stepped in after Chauncey got at least a dozen hits in.

“Your days of dealing are over.” Maverick tossed some clothes at the wolf-shifter, his face pulled back in disgust.

Once David was dressed, he charged the Alpha. Maverick sidestepped him, all watching as David hit the floor. “Are you really that dumb?” Hawk stood over David, death stretched across his face.

David rolled, his hand swiping under the couch and pulling back with a handgun in his hand. Hawk was on him in seconds, smacking the gun from his hand as David shifted. Chauncey shifted as well, attacking David until he was no longer moving.

“Clear this place out. I want those drugs,” Maverick said as everyone began to box and bag everything.

Steven loaded the dishwasher, needing something to occupy his mind until his mate and Chauncey returned. He was worried sick about them. Chance was up in his room, healing in his bear form, Pa saying that he was going to recover just fine. Steven heard a growl and then was lifted high into the air.

“Damn it, Roman. You’re going to get enough of scaring me!” Steven squealed.

Roman laughed as he swung him around. “I’ll never get enough of anything where you’re concerned.”

Steven turned as soon as Roman set him down, hugging him in a death grip. He didn’t have to say anything. Roman knew how scared he had been. Steven felt a hand run through his hair as he listened to his mate’s heartbeat under his ear.

It was a sound he would never tire of hearing. “I don’t want to know.”

“Okay,” Roman said softly. “I have something for you.” Steven already had what he wanted right there in his arms. After the long journey he had taken to get here, he didn’t plan on letting go anytime soon. From his parents’ house to a life no one should lead, to the man he loved, Steven knew he was finally home.

He looked up when Roman twisted sideways and picked something up from the kitchen table. Steven shouted with joy as he grabbed his cookbook from Roman’s hand. “I thought I’d never see this thing again.”

“I remember you saying something about it, so I grabbed it for you.” Roman smiled proudly at him.

“Thanks.” Steven hugged Roman tighter. How could life get any more perfect than it was? He had a loving mate, a great home, and friends who would be there for him no matter what.

Steven’s new journey through life was only beginning, but with Roman at his side, he knew he would enjoy every step.
