When I woke up I didn't feel that excruciating pain anymore which brought relief to me.

I turned around and I saw Adam lying on his stomach, his face buried in the pillow. The sheets stoped at his lower back which left his bare back exposed.

I smiled to myself as I remembered the events of last night I glance at the clock and it was already 7:30am.

What?

What?

My eyes widen and I tried to untangle myself off the sheets. Unfortunately, I fail and fall to the floor, still tangled in the sheets. I sat up on the floor a blew a strand of hair away from my face in annoyance.

"Did you fall off the bed again?" Adam said in his sleepy voice. "Adam, get up! We're gonna be late for school!" I said as I stood up and wrapped the blankets around my body.

Adam practically jumps out of the bed and puts on some underwear. We both go to the bathroom and brush our teeth as fast as we can. I put on the first thing I find which is some underwear, my black jeans, Adam's flannel shirt and my vans.

I quickly brush my hair and put it into a ponytail. "You ready to go?" Adam yawned, I nodded and grabbed my backpack. He grabbed the keys and his backpack and we were out the door.

Adam still had his sleepy face which was extremely hot. I couldn't divert my eyes from him. Adam rubbed his eye as he took his eyes off the road for a second to look at me.

"So, I guess we now know what the doctor really told you." He said smirking at me. My cheeks started to heat up and I know he noticed.

"Shut up." I say trying so hard not to smile. He holds my hand and plants a kiss on the back of my hand.

We reached the school in 10 minutes and we get out of the car. We start making our ways to the school doors and I notice that Adam still has bed hair.

"Wait." I say and he turns around and motions to the car. "Did you forget something?" He asks. I give him a smile. "No, silly. You have bed hair." I say as I giggle.

I start fixing his hair and he takes a step back. "Babe, it's part of the look." He says. "You look like you've been hibernating for a year and finally woke up." I say and chuckle.

"Well, I definitely wasn't hibernating yesterday." He said giving me a smirk. I stared at him in shock and playfully shoved him. "What?" He says, putting his hands up in surrender. "I totally rocked your world." He says.

I rolled my eyes and started walking. He grabs my arm and pulls me into his arms and kisses me. My hands are wrapped around his neck while his are on my hips. He starts smiling into the kiss and I find myself smiling too.

I pull away and look into his eyes. "Come on, we're gonna be late for class." He groans and I pull him by his hand. The bell rings indicating that we have 5 minutes to get to class.

Adam gives me one last kiss before running down the hall. I bite my lip and watch him leave. Then I make my way to my first class.

By the time lunch came I was tired. I didn't get much sleep last night and we all know why. I sit at our usual spot and stare off into space. Emma, Ryan and Adam were already there and they were talking about something that I didn't know since I wasn't paying munch attention.

"You feeling better?" Emma ask looking at me with a worried face. "Huh?" I ask. Adam clears his throat and I remember telling Emma yesterday that I needed some sleep and that I would be better.

"Yes, I'm feeling much better. Sleep was all I needed." I let out a nervous chuckle I knew she didn't believe me but she brushed it off.

Chemistry came by and I was practically falling asleep on my seat. I would close my eyes for 5 minutes and then Adam would nudge my shoulder and I would jump a little bit but then I'd be paying attention to next 10 seconds before falling asleep again.

"Ms. Johnson!"

Oh, great.

"Can you tell us which number is Oxygen in the periodic table?" The teacher asked.

"8?" I asked. The teachers raises his eyebrow before turning to the board. "That's correct." He says and I turn my head to face Adam.

"Like a boss." I whisper and throw my hands up in the air. He shakes his head while giving me smile.

School is finally over and by the end of the week we'll be set free to enjoy our Christmas vacations. As we make our way to the car Adam's phone starts to ring and he picks it up.

"What's up?" "Yeah." "Right now? I thought we agreed to meet up in a couple of weeks." He ran a hand through his hair and let out a long sigh. "Ok, fine. I'm on my way right now." He says and hangs up.

"Everything ok?" I ask. We get inside the car. "Yeah, I just gotta go to a meeting." He says. "It's not one of your dad's meetings is it?" I ask. He once told me that he would go to meetings but they weren't your ordinary pack meetings. It was obviously another type of meeting.

"No." He says in a low voice. "The Lightwood pack and our pack were in war during some time. They came to an agreement but then they went to war again. So in order to keep peace I meet up with some of the people from their pack and work out an agreement so that there's no war." He says.

"What kind of agreements?" I ask, curiosity got the best of me but Adam didn't seem to mind. He owned me an explanation anyways. "Basic stuff. Like they take some of our territory or we take some of theirs, or if one of us messes something up we take care of it. Things like that, nothing illegal." He says.

I can't help but feel a bit scared I mean it seems like he has it under control but what if he messes up? Or they mess big time? Does it mean war? A million questions go trough my mind but I push them away.

"Is the meeting now?" I ask. He nods. "I'm gonna drop you off at the pack house, ok?" He says. "What? No, I'm coming with you." I say. "No, I can't bring you with me." He says in a serious tone.

"Why not? You said that you don't do anything illegal so why can't you bring me?" I ask. We reach the pack house and we get out of the car, Adam meets me at my side of the door and I lean back. "Because if something happens to you I won't be able to live with myself. I care about you so much in ways that I can't even explain. You make me a better me and I love the effect you have on me."

Please don't be a dream, please don't be a dream.

All I could do was just stare into his beautiful eyes as he said that. I never knew how strongly he felt about me and now that he was saying all of this I couldn't believe it. My heart was beating at a fast rate and the zoo was back in my stomach.

"I love you, Riley. I love you so much and I can't imagine my life without you." He slammed his lips into mine and kissed me with passion. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck, pulling him closer to me.

I was afraid that if I broke off the kiss he wouldn't come back, I was afraid that maybe things wouldn't go so well. But in this moment right now I focused on kissing him back with the same force as him. He broke off the kiss and rested his forehead on mine.

"I love you, too." I said and smiled. He smiled and leaned in again this time kissing me more slowly. We pulled away so we could catch our breaths. "Promise me you'll be careful." I whisper. "I promise." He whispers.

He gives me a kiss on the forehead and makes his way to the woods. He then changes into a wolf and makes a run for it. I didn't get to see his wolf very well but I knew he had light gray fur. I entered the house and now all I had to do was wait.
