I look towards the direction that the scream came and a loud crash was heard.

I dropped my bags and headed downstairs, that's when I found Emma with both her hands over her mouth, trying to muffle her screams, with wide eyes.

"Emma!" I shouted in terror.

Could someone have entered?

That's impossible, only me and Adam were here.

Wait, what's Emma doing here? She's suppose to be out with Ryan.

Where is Adam?

And my questions were answered when I heard Ryan's voice coming from the kitchen.

"Riley?"

"Ryan?"

Ryan had a grip on someone's shirt and when I looked it was Adam.

"Oh my god! Adam!"

"Riley, don't! He broke into our house!" Emma said as she grabbed my waist and tried to hold me back. I kept trying to get out of her grip but she had a strong grip on me.

"Let me go! You don't understand!" I watched as Ryan was ready to throw a punch at Adam. Meanwhile, Adam was trying to push back Ryan.

"He's my mate!" I screamed, hoping that it would stop all this commotion. Emma grip on me loosened and so did Ryan's grip on Adam.

Adam took this opportunity and shoved Ryan off him. "Get the hell off me man" Ryan stumbled a bit. Still trying to understand what I just said.

I walked over to Adam and I noticed he had a busted lip and a cut on his cheek and his eyebrow. "Are you ok?" I asked with concern. I kept checking his face for more bruises.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He said through gritted teeth looking behind me. I looked at the direction that Ryan was looking and I saw Emma shooting daggers at me.

"What the hell do you mean 'he's your mate?" Emma said with gritted teeth. I glanced at Ryan and he definitely had more bruises than Adam did.

His left eye was starting to get black. He had a bloody nose, he had a cut on his lip, and what seems like a scratch on the forehead.

"Can we talk about this in my room in a few? I wanna get Adam cleaned up." Emma shoots me and Adam a glare before leaving with Ryan, muttering something about a band-aid.

I turn to face Adam and I see that he's looking down at me. I sigh and grab his hand, leading him to the bathroom. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up."

We enter the bathroom and I start looking through the cabinets for a first-aid kit. "Sit." I point to the toilet seat and he sighs running a hand through his hair.

I find the kit and I take out some alcohol towelettes and some antibiotic. I take a towel and wet it with warm water. I stand between Adam's legs and I start pressing the towel into Adam's cuts.

He hisses and puts his head back. "Sorry." I mutter and give him a sad smile. "I thought you said they weren't suppose to be back at three." He says while I clean his busted lip and turned around to clean the spots of blood on the towel.

"They weren't." I say and go back to him to keep cleaning his cuts. I grab the alcohol and press it into his cuts.

"Ow, ow, ow" he says as I press the towelette. "Sorry, sorry, sorry" I keep saying. "Can you wait for me in the car? I need to talk to Emma and it looks like she won't let me out until I explain." I say as I grab the antibiotic.

"Do you really have to?" He says in a low voice. His hands find my waist and as I put some antibiotic he pulls me a bit closer to him.

My heart starts beating fast and my breathing gets hitched. His face was only centimeters away from mine. He eyes glanced at my lips and I bit my bottom lip. He smirked at my action.

"I-uh. Well, um yes." I say stuttering. "I think she can wait just a little bit longer." He says in a hushed tone still smirking.

And before I know it, his lips are on mine. His soft, soft lips are on mine.

Holy fire truck.

A thousand fireworks went off and I felt sparks all over the place. His arms were wrapped around my waist and mine were around his neck pulling him closer to me. Butterflies were erupting in my stomach but I was pretty sure I had the whole zoo there. Our lips were moving in sync, desperate for one another. It was like a piece of puzzle being put together.

Adam lifts me up and puts me down in the counter on the bathroom. He stands between my legs and I lift my head so he can have better access. I wasn't planning to end the kiss anytime soon and form the looks of it Adam wasn't planing to either.

I hear a pound on the door and we break the kiss. Catching our breath. "I'll be there in a minute!" I say, trying to sound as normal as possible. Adam leans his forehead into mine and I subconsciously close my eyes.

"Don't take too long, ok?" He says in a hushed tone, his thumb stroking my cheek. My whole body is in fire with his touch. And my wolf was practically jumping around in happiness.

I nod at him since that's all I could do. I was still in cloud 9. I lifted my head up a bit and kissed him. It's wasn't desperate like the first time but slow, making it last every second.

I pulled away and smiled. I open my eyes and I found him smiling at me. "I'll meet you outside, ok?" I say.

We leave the bathroom and he heads to the door and I got to my room. Emma is waiting for me and when she sees she me stands up. Waiting for an explanation. "Before you explain what's going on, where the hell have you been Riley? I tried calling you but you're not answering your phone. You haven't been home since Friday, we were worried sick, Riley." Emma's voice is filled with concerned and I feel guilty.

I know I should have tried to reach out to her but it was all to new to me that I didn't thought of Emma first. I wasn't thinking that my best friend could have called the SWAT team just to know if I was alright. Meanwhile I was too busy being wrapped in Adam's arms.

That guilt soon faded away when I started thinking about what happened a couple of minutes ago. I told Emma to sit down next to me on the bed and I started explaining everything to her.

How I found out Adam is my mate, to him buying me breakfast, how is dad called me a slut when we bumped into him in the hallway, when he almost kissed me if it wasn't for Tyler, I didn't tell her about how his dad started questioning me and I also didn't tell her how I broke me down and had that dream. And now I was breaking the news to her that I wasn't gonna live here anymore.

"You're leaving?" Emma said with a sad voice. "I'm not a part of this pack anymore" I say, looking down. "Riley, we're your family! Me and Ryan have been here for you ever since day one and now you're just gonna leave?!" She screamed at me.

"Emma, it's not like that." This was definitely not how I thought things were gonna go. "You and Ryan have something special going and it feels like I'm holding you guys back. Now, I found Adam. I've been waiting for this for 18 years and I finally found him." I tell her, hoping that she can understand.

"I don't want you to leave." She said and tears ran down her face. I hugged her and she hugged me back. I ran my hands up and down her back calm her down.

Once she was calmed down I grabbed my bags and headed downstairs. Ryan was sitting in a stool at the kitchen. I knew he heard about our conversations, wolf hearing, he gave me a sad smile once he saw me.

"I'm gonna miss you, buddy" Ryan says in a cracked voice as I give him a hug. "I'm gonna miss you too" I say and pull away. Emma goes to him and leans on his side as Ryan wraps an arm around her waist.

I said my goodbyes and walked out the door, keeping the spare key if I need something. I knew that they were gonna be there for me no mater what. I walked down the steps and toward the car where I saw Adam leaning against it.

He smiled at me. "18 years, huh?" I playfully slapped his arm and rolled my eyes.

Stupid wolf hearing.

We got in the car and we were making our way back to the pack house. It's was slightly raining and I leaned my head against the window, looking outside. Adam took my hand and intertwined our fingers. I glanced at me and smiled.

He looked at me for a second and smiled back. He gave my hand a small squeeze.

With Adam by my side I knew everything was gonna be ok.
