The start of this book will probably be getting into the plot really quickly. Don't be stressed out or anything about things moving too fast. Ask questions if you get confused. I'll try not to move it along too quickly.

Also thank you for being patient about the uploading times. Things have been incredibly busy lately.

I stripped away my dirty clothes and huffed out as I looked at the small gash on my belly. Kendall's claw had only just scratched the surface of my stomach. But the sweat on my body made it sting.

I walked over to the chest of drawers and flicked through my clothes to find something comfy to wear. Most of my clothes had just been washed and were still wet. Gwendoline demanded that I wash everything, because apparently 'hygiene is important'.

Pfft. Whatever.

I grabbed one of Liam's shirts and placed it on the bed. Then, I searched for a particular pair of shorts. I hummed softly to myself as I looked through the drawers. The door to my room burst open and I knew it was Liam almost immediately.

His scent wafted around my nostrils like a dancer and I breathed it in as I found my shorts. I tugged them on and then walked over to the bed where I'd placed Liam's shirt.

"Where'd you go? You've been gone a while," I asked Liam and I slipped the shirt over my head. I looked up at him and his face softened as he came towards me. He stared at the cut on my cheek bone.

Kendall got a pretty good punch in.

"Kendall and I sparred. I kicked her ass," I told him proudly. Liam smirked and he kissed the wound, running his tongue over it slightly.

The wound tingled and I smiled as I felt it begin to heal. He pulled away from me and licked his lips. Liam kissed my lips softly.

"You're coming home with me tomorrow morning," he told me. I raised my eyebrows at him.

What? Did I hear that right?

"Wait, what?" I asked, shaking my head at him in confusion. He smirked, his eyes lighting up and his smile brightening his entire face. He looked so damn happy.

"I talked to Henry—"

Liam's word shocked me. I grinned at him and leaped forwards and into his arms. "Really? What did he say? What did he say?"

My squeals were loud, and they made Liam laugh. His laughter was music to my ears, and it made my stomach do flips. I played with his hair as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close.

"He said he'd let you return. But you'd have to be under house arrest for two weeks. He thinks you'll try to cause trouble again," Liam told me. I grinned excitedly.

Two weeks of house arrest? Awesome! I knew that two weeks would pass quickly. It was better than sitting in a dungeon for two weeks.

"Are you serious?" I exclaimed loudly. He grinned and pressed his forehead against mine.

"You finally get to come home," he mumbled out. I smiled as I closed my eyes and hugged him tightly.

My beast growled out with excitement. She was ecstatic that we were getting to go home. We were finally going to get to see our loved ones again. It was finally time for us to go back.

Liam kissed me deeply. His lips moved against mine in synchronised movements, his mouth warm and caressing. He tasted sweet and wonderful. I sighed into him as he backed me up until the backs of my knees were against the bed.
