It started with a look

Question time

(Rose POV)

"How could you be so reckless Mandy!" Carla shouts at my friend. After smoking for a couple of hours, Carla finally showed up and she's not happy "You know it's too dangerous to be outside the pack house" Mandy stands there taking the abuse but I don't think it's fair. My high has completely gone and now I'm hungry

"Carla? Baby? It wasn't her fault" I say, trying to reason with my infuriated mate

"And you!" She growls, storming over to me and pointing to my chest "Do you have any idea how worried I was?! You've been missing for 5hrs! I almost sent out a search party"

"Uh huh" I shrug "I was safe" I tell her

"Safe! Safe?! You got in a car chase with the police and rogues! It's all over the news!"

"That's not my fault, nor is it Mandys or Tania's. They kept me safe. If anything, blame the rogues and the dirty pigs. We weren't doing anything but shopping for stuff" I say

"Rose, baby. Anything could've happened"

"And it did happen" I sigh "But our friends protected me. I know you're angry and maybe a little scared but you can't blame Mandy for it all. We were safe, secure. No one knew we were going to be there except for those in the security detail from the pack. It could've been a lot worse but it wasn't" I wrap my arms around her and gently pull her into my front. She buries her head in my neck and I hear her sniffle "We're okay baby. Just take some deep breaths, I'm okay" She breaths in my scent and I smile as she starts to calm down "That's it baby, I'm here and I'm okay"

"I could've lost you" She whispers into my skin

"But you didn't, and that's thanks to our friends"

"Please" She begs "Please, the next time you want to go out, let me know. I almost went rogue on the pack trying to find you"

"I promise" I chuckle "But now my high is gone, how about you apologise to Mandy and we go home for food"

"Nope"

"Carla" I growl in a warning tone

"I don't wanna" She pouts

"If it wasn't for her mad skills behind the wheel, I'd be dead" I point out "Give her some accolade"

"Poop to her"

"Carla baby, come on" I chuckle

She looks at me and I quirk an eyebrow at her "Fine" She groans. She walks up to Mandy who's smirking and pats her head "Good puppy"

"You fucking bitch" Mandy laughs and hits her hand away

"That's all you're getting too" Carla laughs then walks back into my arms "Let's go home baby"

"Anything for you my love" I kiss her sweet soft lips and walk up the stairs

Walking out of the garage, I'm surprised to see several SUVs, many people standing around on guard and a moving truck. Storm stands by her front door as Carla's mother walks out with several boxes "This is ridiculous V" Storm groans
