Derek highly doubted it was easy, but thinking about it was just going to make him panic right now, and Laura was doing a good job at keeping him calm. There was a reason they were so close now, and it wasn't just because they'd spent that time in New York together. If Laura hadn't hugged him, Derek would have initiated it himself, and he hugged her back tightly. "Yeah," he agreed roughly, though it was a battle to keep his thoughts from scattering about.
"What do we do now? Call Mom?" That had been their first instinct whenever trouble had arisen. Call Mom, call their alpha, but now Derek was afraid to. He was afraid of what her reaction would be to something this huge. Thinking about Mom made him wonder why she wasn't here yet. "Wait, I sent Melly to get Mom. She should have made it home before you left. What if something happened to her?" What if the rogue had gotten to her before she could reach Derek's car?
