We sat down across from him and food was immediately placed in front of us. I didn’t recognize the woman but Tracey smiled at her warmly so I imagined that was a good thing. Lucas was still missing but I was glad for the spare bedroom because I would be offering it to him if he didn’t tell everyone who he really was. Rafe put his phone down before he popped a French fry into his mouth.
“Contractors have been called, just say the word, whenever you’re ready, and they’ll be here in a flash.”
My mouth dropped open and Tracey snickered. “Who are you?”
“Excuse me?” Rafe put down his fry.
“You’re not being an asshole.”
There was a gasp from the kitchen. The corners of Rafe’s lips twitched. “You have been through a lot, it’s the least I can do.”
“You’re also his ma-” Someone said from the kitchen but before she could finish her sentence there was a loud crash followed by an even louder curse.
I looked over my shoulder but whoever had made the comment was gone. “What was she saying?”
Rafe licked his bottom lip slowly. I tried my hardest to not follow the movement, but it was rather impossible. I felt like I was in the desert and he was a tall drink of water. Water I had been missing all of my life. I blinked myself out of the daze. “There are a few things we need to discuss now that you’re back. Somewhat big news.”
I shook my head as I noticed Lucas out the corner of my eye. “Whatever it is, I’m sure it can wait. I have a feeling something bigger is coming.”
Rafe pressed his lips together and Tracey shook her head like she couldn’t believe what I was saying. I was sure there was nothing bigger than the stranger wolf identifying himself.
