Waking up groggily sitting up I look next to me seeing that Darius has already left, the room still moderately dark due to the heavy curtains, makes me feel like it would be easier to just fall asleep again then try to get up. Shakily standing up I slowly make my way to my wardrobe I pull out sweatpants having to tighten the drawstrings. I slip on a simple and comfy bra and decide to still wear Darius's shirt. I clutch onto the doorhandle to my bedroom steadying myself before opening the door and as soon as I do my knees almost give out.

Standing outside my room perfectly fine is Mike looking like he never died, overfilled with joy my eyes fill with tears. Finding strength I run to him crashing into his body enveloping him in a hug, his arms wrap around me holding me up until my legs give out and we sink to the floor. Sobs wracking my body not being able to keep them inside. Just so happy he is not dead and he's alive healthy and alive. How I don't know and quite frankly don't care because he is here.

"Shh, shh it's alright I am alright okay everything alright and your safe now" He strokes my head helping me to calm down, he lets me hug him for however long I need. Realising something I push away from him and try to lift his shirt up. He goes to stop me but hesitates letting me light his shirt up, I gasp at the sight of his chest. It used to be blank but now claw marks scar his chest as well as a small line near his heart where he was stabbed. My hands tremble from looking at the damage I did, turning I look at his abdomen where a bite mark is left. Dropping his shirt new tears roll down my face creating a splotchy mess with red puffy eyes. He brings me closer to his chest hugging me trying to calm me down and let me know he is alright.

"I thought I lost you" My voice wavers with emotions but he shushes me rubbing my back until I am alright and composed enough to stand up again. He helps me up wiping my tears away he similes softly. Turning me around and in the direction of the large living room, there sitting on the couch are three of my closest friends.

Sanaa a cheerful light-hearted blond that makes the best desserts, Taniya a stern looking individual that has a soft side for her friends and family but has a wicked humour and Lucille with a face of an angel but temper of a demon you don't want to be on her bad side. We became friends when one of my missions landed me in trouble at a club they came to my rescue four strangers coming together creating a strong friendship. With the help of Mike, I walk to the couch they quickly stand up and embrace me in a hug filling me with warmth and happiness. Sitting down Mike walks to the end of the couch to give us some space.

"We missed you so much" Sanaa says sincerely as her face saddens only cheering up when I give her a smile understanding her worry. Lucille bumps her in in the arm with hers letting her know they all missed me and now I am back it will be alright.

"Yeah, when you didn't show up for our annual hang out we knew something happened" Lucille comments upset that I didn't make it to our hang out to have fun for a night. What really happens is we go to a forest where we first chose to camp for a night, but it ended up with us partying and getting drunk dancing around a bonfire. Which died out before the sun rose and we all collapsed in one tent and in the morning having the worst hangover of our lives. From that moment we made a deal to make it a yearly thing on the same date.

"When Mike called us, we knew it was serious and decided to help luckily we know this city better then anyone" Taniya mischievously says the last bit indicating how long they've been here and all the trouble they have caused.

"I am glad that you helped out, I'm hoping cost free since it was for me" Questioning them as it normally costs for them to help or give information out. Wicked smiles grace all of the lips showing that there was a price for their help.

"It was nothing extreme we just simply asked for free passage into a certain pack" Lucille the first to answer nonchalantly.

"To be able to see a certain wolf" Taniya adds.
