13. Dad

Noelle

"Dad, it's only for three days, and I'm going to be around his family the whole time," I sigh, holding my suitcase in hand.

"I know, I know, but you two are moving awfully fast- I just- I'm being a dad." Bill says. It finally came time for the three day hike, trip, expedition, hunt, whatever you want to call it. I was all packed, and ready to go, Harry was talking to Jake at his car. Jake was really interested in Harry's car, and I don't blame him, it's a sexy car.

Yes, I think Harry's car is sexy.

Arrest me.

"Dad, we're not even together, I have no idea what you're talking about- we're just good friends." I shake my head. Honestly, that's exactly what we are. Well, I don't know. Are we something? Well, duh Noelle, but...ugh, headache.

He sighs, before just nodding, "Alright, alright. Call me when you get there, and before you go to bed. Okay?" I nod my head,

"Got it. Bye." I go to walk off but he pulls me in for a hug. I roll my eyes inwardly and hug back,

"Be careful, Noelle. " He says, as he pulls away. I nod,

"I will." I send a smile, before I walk the rest of the way to Harry's car, he smiles as he opens the door. Putting my suitcase in the back I smile up at him,

"Ready?" He asks,

"As I'll ever be."

The drive to Derek's felt extra short, pulling up to his half lit house, we parked by the rest of the cars. Everyone else was already here, by everyone I mean the boys. I was really nervous for this hunt, thing. Being in the forest for three nights didn't sound appealing to me at all, knowing now what all lurks in these woods. I was freaked out before, and now...

But of course, I was one of them. So I suppose if I do what Derek says, all will be fine.

"Noelle?" Harry's voice pulls me from my thoughts,

"Hm? Oh, sorry," I blush as I exit the vehicle,

"You okay?" He asks, shutting the door. I shrug as I grab my suitcase,

"Yeah, I'm just nervous is all." I send a small smile before shutting the back door. He tucks a loose strand of hair behind my ear,

"Don't be. A nervous alpha makes a nervous pack." He raises an eyebrow as he wraps an arm around my shoulder, pulling me to him as we walk to the house, "But really Noelle, don't worry about anything. Everything is under control." He opens the door for me, and I walk ahead,

"Okay..." I mutter,

"Noelle!" Liam shouts, walking over, engulfing me into a big hug. I let out a laugh and hug his neck,

"Hi, Liam." We pull away, laughing. Harry takes my bag and walks off somewhere with it.

"We're watching a Chucky marathon, care to join us?" Liam starts leading me to the living room,

"I love Chucky! Yeah, of course, just let me change first. " I smile at him, before following where Harry went,

"Okay! We'll pause it."

"Don't worry about it," I smile before climbing the two flights of stairs, "Harry?" I call out,

"In here!" He calls out from a room. I walk a little farther before I walk into the where Harry is, I freeze the moment I step inside, just to admire it. I take in all it's rustic features, and smile. The room was so spacey, reminding me of just how big Derek's house is.
