far do you want to push this?” he asked. “Am I supposed to stay close? Touch you a lot? Kiss you right in front of him?”
“Uhm,” Nathan said, cheeks a brighter red now. “Sure. I mean, you know, whatever feels natural? But don’t overdo it,” he added.
Alex smirked as he finished his coffee. There was a slight hint of arousal to Nathan’s scent now. Good. “Trust me, I won’t do anything I wouldn’t want to anyway. And one more thing, can I use your phone to make a quick call? I should let someone know I’m all right.” It was almost an hour after sunrise, and he still wasn’t at the designated meeting point. His phone, his clothes, everything was in one of the cabins usually reserved for hikers and tourists. The others had to be worried by now.
“Oh, of course.” Nathan slid his phone over. “I’ll be upstairs, making sure I’ve really packed up all of Chris’ things.”
Alex nodded and dialled Richard’s number. It wasn’t long before the older man picked up.
“Where the hell are you?” Richard said, while Nathan left the room and headed upstairs.
“Had a bit of an, er, accident,” he explained quickly. “Got hit by a car, but I’m fine now.”
Richard grunted. “So why aren’t you here?”
Alex sighed. Time to bite the bullet. “The guy who hit me was the vet. He took me home to examine me.”
Richard was quiet for a moment, then burst out laughing. “And he kept you overnight, didn’t he?”
“Yes,” Alex muttered. “And now he knows about werewolves.”
“Alex...” Richard’s amusement faded.
“Hey, you transformed in front of that hiker last night,” Alex immediately told him. “You can’t get angry with me about that.”
Richard grunted again. “We’re gonna have to tell the others,” he said. “I’ll tell ‘em you’re fine, but we’ll wait with telling them about being found out until you get here.”
No doubt Richard didn’t want to be only one to have the rest of the pack angry for allowing non-werewolves to find out about their existence. Alex didn’t blame him. “Sure, I don’t know when exactly I’m gonna be there, might be this afternoon.” It all depended on how things were gonna go with Nathan.
“Just get your run-over ass here as soon as possible, okay? And stay out of trouble.” With those last words of wisdom, Richard hung up.
Alex put the phone on the table, and figured he should have some time for the shower Nathan had promised him he could have.

Alex let out a happy sigh as he showered, and checked his thigh to make sure the wound had healed properly. There wasn’t even a scar. It felt good to wash the smell of dog and vet office off his body along with everything else. He wouldn’t have gone for lemon-scented shower gel himself, but it was better than nothing.
He heard a car drive up to the house, and a few minutes later he heard some shouting. Nathan and Chris were clearly still be pissed off with each other. Still, it was none of his business, and he wasn’t here to be a relationship therapist, he was here to pretend to be Nathan’s one-night-stand. Alex felt sure that if he played his cards right, it wouldn’t be a pretence for long.
After turning off the shower and using a towel to dry himself, he grabbed the sweatpants. They had to be Chris’, that explained the bigger size. Hell, Nathan probably hoped that Chris would get annoyed by seeing another guy wear his clothes. The drama was the one thing he didn’t miss about relationships.
With some luck, Alex’ presence would be enough to get the message across that Chris was here to pick up his stuff and get out. Alex planned on getting the hell out himself if the arguing lasted too long. He had his breakfast and his shower, after all, and with some luck he’d be able to make it to the cabin without attracting too much attention. The streets were usually quiet around here on a Saturday morning.
