Sable half turned away, then paused, glancing back over his shoulder at Carrie.
“Thank you,” he said quietly before carrying on, heading straight towards his bedroom and firmly shutting the door when he got there, shutting out the world. To be honest he’d been a little surprised to learn Carrie hadn’t told Dom about his almost shifting on that first night. Why wouldn’t she have? But he hadn’t really seen Dom since that night so he assumed the Oligarch hadn’t wanted to discuss it since he hadn’t actually turned.
And he wasn’t stupid - he’d seen her getting upset, but he had no doubt that if she asked Dom to find him somewhere else the shifter would agree and all this would be over. Maybe he would have to live in the Oligarchy - or maybe Dom would off load him onto another werewolf.
The young werewolf slowly began to get ready for bed, and was in his bathroom when a car pulled up outside Carrie’s home and a few seconds later there was a knocking on the front door.
As soon as she’s hung up on him Dom had left what he’d been doing and headed for the house. He hadn’t even bothered to find a jacket and he was sure he’d gone through more than one red light on the way. She’d hung up on him. He had no idea why. Was she in danger? Had Sable come home? Was she that pissed at him for not going out to look for the werewolf earlier? Dom knew the boy was independent - one day going off by himself would probably do the kid good, and as far as he knew there had been no danger of him shifting previously - and he wasn’t exactly new to the city and about to get lost.
He would wait impatiently outside the door until it was opened, his foot tapping and hands clenched into fists at his sides. He’d been at the office organising things for the full moon and so was wearing simple, but good quality black slacks and a dark blue shirt - although the sleeves were rolled up and it was open at the throat with no tie, showing off the dragon tattoo on his neck. His grey eyes were flashing with annoyance mingled with a hint of worry and there was a thick layer of stubble covering his jaw, showing Carrie how long he\'d been work recently (most of the time) so he hadn\'t bothered shaving for a couple of weeks.
“You hung up on me,” Dom said as she opened the door, instantly stepping forwards to put a foot in the way and a hand on the door in case she had hung up on him because she was angry and she\'d decided she didn\'t want to continue the conversation.
