I opened my eyes slowly, and lifted my arm to wipe my eyes. Once my eyes were focused, I looked around and saw that I was in my bed. I mumbled, "How did I get here?"
I felt something touch my waist and I gasped. I turned around and saw Adam. I put my hand out and let out the breath in my lungs. "You scared me."
"Sorry." He said slowly. He ran his fingers through his morning hair.
"What happened?" I said quietly.
"A bit."
"Like what."
"Ok, so you got knocked out. We defeated the other pack, and I carried you home."
"Thanks. Anyways at least we defeated them. Are you OK?" I asked.
"Yeah I'm fine, just a sore arm. Someone bit it." He said, rubbing his arm.
"Okay. At least it will heal quickly."
I started to feel myself drift asleep again, so I let it overcome me. As I fell asleep, I felt Adam curl around me and I heard his breathing slow as he fell asleep in tune with me.

I woke up again, and I saw Adam staring in the full length mirror of the alpha room, fixing his hair.
"Hey." I said quietly.
"Hey." He said back. "How's my Luna?"
"I'm fine now, my head is just sore. And around my mouth. And my hand... Just where I was bitten and hit."
"Ok. I hope you heal fast."
"Yeah."
"Oh, one question." Adam said, and I could see him smirking in the mirror.
"What?" I asked, getting curious.
"Does your hurt mouth effect your ability to kiss?" I heard him chuckle as he looked at me in the mirror. I'm sure my face was bright red, I could feel it.
"Well you could see for yourself." I smirked. I got up and walked to the mirror next to him.
"Don't mind if I do." He smiled and leaned down. We almost made contact as there was a knock on the door.
"You guys ready?" I heard Ciana's voice from outside.
"Uh yeah almost." Yelled Adam, and I turned my head.
"Ready for what?" I asked as I heard Ciana walking away.
"A talent show, it's in," he looked at the clock. "20 minutes."
"Oh ok." I started. "Wait 20 minutes?"
"Yeah." He laughed as I ran to the closet and chose some halfway-decent clothes. I walked into the bathroom and slipped them on, fixing my hair. I walked out after I was done and I looked around the room.
"Adam?" I asked, walking to the bed.
"You look nice." I heard a voice behind me and gasped, then I saw Adam walk into the bedroom.
"You scared me... Again." I laughed, and poked his chest.
"I know." He smiled and gave me a quick kiss.
"Okay let's go." I said, grabbing his hand.
"Okay okay, well you're extra slow today." He said sarcastically.
"I know right?" I joked. "I could say the same for you."
He just chuckled as we walked into the main room. The rest of the pack was surrounding the stage, and I saw Chris walking up to the mic.
"This song is for someone special in my life, even if she doesn't know it." His eyes scanned the room and landed on me for a split second, then kept looking around.

"I
Should have told
You how I really feel
A little in advance"
He started singing, and his eyes landed on me once again. And he stayed looking at me.

"Then I
Would've had some time
To go and work it out
I think I've lost my chance

For the last 3 years I just hid it so well
Hoping that you'd figure it out because I never could tell it
Straight to your face

Never have I ever woken up in a cold hard sweat
From a dream wondering
If you'd ever say "goodbye"
If I didn't say it first

I'm done
Playing these games
I can't believe what I'm about to say
I won't tell you goodbye
With my love left behind
Kiss me before I
F*cking lose my
Mind

No
No more nights
Drink until my loneliness
Up till 2 AM

No
No more waiting
Pacing round the bar
Hoping that you might walk in
