Into the Pack

Chapter 10

     Zayn and Gigi walked downstairs hand in hand to find the Styles siblings making breakfast for the whole pack. 

"I see you got pretty comfortable here, huh?" Harry smirked when he noticed Zayn in nothing but sweatpants, Gigi in Zayn's hoodie, and both of them with messy hair. 

     Zayn just rolled his eyes and sleepily sat down near the table. Niall and Bella joined soon, looking the opposite, all fresh and energetic. They were both in their workout clothes, which caused Harry pushing them away from "his" kitchen. Once they were back, the table was stacked with home-cooked breakfast food.

"I know we're practically wolves but this is too much." Bella noted.

"We have Niall, don't worry." Zayn mumbled sleepily. 

     Niall didn't care about his Alpha's comment and happily grabbed the biggest cinnamon roll. But before he could take a big bite Harry smacked it from his hand. He glared at the younger werewolf but Harry looked unbothered. 

"Louis, Liam! Breakfast!" he yelled. 

     Even though his voice probably reached Queen Elizabeth's corgis, there was no hint of Louis and Liam running to the kitchen. Harry tried again and this time the rest managed to close their ears before permanent damage would occur. 

"LOUIS! LOUIS! LOUIS!"

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP," Zayn growled and left the kitchen. 

     He headed to the guestroom where Louis stayed, figuring Liam would be with him. When he opened the door he saw Louis' massive wolf body on the bed and a hint of Liam's sweater tangled with the white fur. He smiled at the peaceful sight and quietly closed the door. 

     His smile was replaced by a tired sigh, though, when he went back to the kitchen and heard Harry's loud voice again. 

"Lou and Liam are asleep, so do me a favor and shut up." he groaned.

"Woah, daddy mode activated!" Niall joked.

     Zayn's and pretty much everyone else's faces scrunched up in disgust.

"What? You're like Liam's daddy," he tried to explain desperately.

"Dude, it's 21st century. It sounds so wrong," Harry explained. 

     It took a moment for Niall to understand but once he did he looked disgusted too. 

"Ew! That's not what I meant. Li is basically a kid! I meant like a father figure or something like that, jeez!" 

"Let's call it parent mode. It will take no time for Gigi to rip our heads off for bothering Liam's precious sleep," Bella said smugly. 

     Gigi answered with a sarcastic smile then got serious.

"So you'd better keep quiet."

     They laughed but actually turned their voices down, knowing that neither Louis nor Liam got enough rest after their journey. 

      Soon everyone left to mind their own business. They were in the kitchen again a few hours later for late lunch. This time everyone was in the middle of their meal when they noticed Louis and Liam were still missing. 

"I'll go get them," Harry huffed and left the kitchen. 

     Unlike Zayn he just entered the guest room and went straight to Louis. He shook the wolf but it didn't wake him up. He moved his hand to wake Liam, at least, but then he froze. 

     Liam wasn't there.

     Louis was sleeping with Liam's clothes tucked under his chin.
