After breakfast, I had made good friends with Kendall and Piper. They were bright girls and very outgoing. Kendall was Hannah's daughter, and it made sense once I figured it out. They looked incredibly similar.By now, it was tense between Liam and I. I avoided him and eye contact as much as possible because I couldn't face him. I think he knew he had messed up, because he kept trying to push his way into my head. But I didn't let him in.I knew that if we were going to talk, it would have to wait for later. I didn't want to talk about it while we were with other people. Our arguments always ended up with me crying and I didn't feel like bursting into tears in front of his whole family."You see this one? She's the best out of all of them because she has the longest hair," Trixie told me. She leaned over and held the doll out to me. I took it from her and looked over the doll.I smiled and nodded my head at her. "She must be the best if she's got the longest hair."I gave the doll bac
I walked down the hallway using the towel to dry my hair. It dripped wet on the floor and I desperately tried to avoid it happening. I walked into Lila's room and sat on the end of her bed. She looked up at me from where she was standing, unpacking her bags."Are you staying in here with me tonight?" Lila asked me. I shrugged at her. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do."Not sure. I'm torn," I said. Lila nodded at me and sighed. She put down the clothes in her hands and came over to me. She sat beside me."I think you should go with him. Talk it out. He's beating himself up about the entire thing," Lila told me. I sighed and nodded. I knew she was right.I couldn't avoid Liam for the whole trip. I needed to talk to him and sort all of this out. I didn't need us to get into another bad argument."You're right," I sighed out. Lila giggled and nodded at me."I always am," she said between giggles. I rolled my eyes at her and punched her arm. She got up again and began to unpack her bags an
"Liam!" I gasped as I sat up fast. I held a hand to my chest as my heart beat fast and hard. I struggled to catch my breath. I panted hard and couldn't control the shakiness of my body.I covered my face in my hands, trying to stop myself from crying. But the tears came anyway. I cried and worked myself up until I felt Liam's arms wrap around me."Hey... it's okay. I'm here," Liam mumbled into my ear as he pulled me close. He engulfed me in his warm and comforting arms. I shook in his embrace.Liam held me until I stopped crying. He was first to pull away. He looked down at me and pulled my hair out my face and tucked it behind my ears.I started to cry again as I looked up at him. I had dreamt about him. I had dreamt that he was being killed by rogues. It was one of the worst dreamsI had had so far."They tore your throat out!" I sobbed to him. Liam forced a sad smile and leaned forwards. He kissed my forehead and wiped the tears from under my eyes. I felt the pain that his beast wa
After an hour of driving and listening to the God awful Christmas songs that were playing, we arrived at the mall. Lila and I jumped out the car and breathed in the fresh air. They were so many new and different smells.I could smell the humans, people walking past and the mall. I could smell the different plants that were covered by a thin layer of snow. I could smell delicious foods from the stalls and restaurants surrounding the place.It was amazing."I don't need to remind you how to act like a human, right?" Darcy said as she got out the car. Lila came around the side of the car and we both shook our heads at her.We all headed towards the entrance to the mall and I found myself walking alongside Kendall and Piper. They both shot me wide grins.Cass was supposed to be coming, but she pulled out last minute as she apparently had issues with humans. I assumed they'd been trouble makers back in her old pack or previously in her life."You know, they've got a Victoria Secret in here
The car ride back was silent. No one spoke a word and the only sound was coming from the radio. It was tense and emotional between everyone in the car. We had all lost someone important because of the rogues.I gulped nervously as the car pulled up to the house. The other car had beaten us back and Blu and Hannah had already jumped out the car and were rushing towards their mates who were out towards the back of the house."They didn't cause any trouble. We don't have anything to worry about, right?" I asked before we all got out the car. Lila and Hallie got out the car, and Darcy sat in the front seat rubbing her head."Rogues this close to the territory is always dangerous. They're never around for fun. They only want to cause trouble," Darcy told me. We got out the car and I walked alongside her to ensure she was alright.She looked pale and stressed. I could imagine why. She had lost one of her sons to rogues, she had lost a daughter in-law too. She'd been through hell and back.S
"Wake up losers!" I heard a loud shout that pulled me from my sleep. I felt weight press down on me and I yelped as I opened my eyes. I groaned at Lila who was laying on top of me. She grinned at me.Liam groaned from next to me and mumbled something under his breath. I smiled up at Lila and she grinned even more."It's Christmas! Get up, get up! We have breakfast at uncle Mason's and then presents! Move your butt!" Lila squealed loudly as she jumped off the bed. I rolled my eyes as she ran out the room.I rolled over to get out of bed, but Liam groaned and wrapped his arm around my waist. He pulled me back, draping his leg over mine. He kept me close."Liam, we have to get up. It's Christmas," I said to him with a giggle. Liam kept his eyes shut but smirked at me. He nuzzled his head into the crook of my neck and hummed softly."I want you to stay here with me," he mumbled. I smiled warmly and ran my fingers along his arm. He was so hard to resist."Aren't you hungry? I'm starving fo
"I'll see you tomorrow, kiddo, okay? Don't be too much trouble for your Mum and Dad," I told Trixie as I knelt down to hug her. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tight.I looked up at Blu and Nicolas who were grinning down at me. I returned the gesture."She really likes you. I think you might be the new favourite. Sorry Liam," Blu said, smiling as she looked at Liam who was standing next to me. He grunted."Yeah right. I'll always be the favourite, won't I, Trixie?" Liam said, looking down at the little girl. She pulled away from me and shook her head at him. I laughed at this."You're in the past now, Liam," she giggled as she waved at me. I waved back as she bounded away and ran off to Wesley and Jason again. She was close with her cousins.I stood up and Liam rolled his eyes at me as he slipped his arm around my waist. He pulled my close as Nicolas and Blu smiled at me."You're my favourite too. I don't blame the kid," Liam told me. I smiled at this."Thank you again fo
When I woke the next morning, Liam was still sound asleep. His arms were wrapped tight around me, his face nuzzled into the crook of my neck. His legs were tangled in mine and it felt good. He never let me go during the night. We always slept in each other's arms. It was perfect.I shifted a little and then I felt it. The stiffness of his pants.I shot my eyes open and tried to look back. Liam stirred in his sleep and moved a little. I felt his body push a little more against mine and bit my lip.He was hard against me and he was unaware. But I couldn't say that I hated it."Liam," I whispered his name. He stirred some more."Liam," I whispered louder this time. He groaned softly. Liam hated people waking him up. He was good at waking up early on his own, but otherwise, he sucked."Liam, I have to go to the bathroom," I lied. Liam sighed and kissed my neck gently before he released me. I jumped out of bed and rushed out the room, moving past the bathroom.I made my way into the kitche
