" Noah? Love, wake up." I hear a voice say as they gently shake my shoulders. I groan and try to roll over to my other side, but I was enabled to move.

   " No..." I groan, burying my face into a warm cushion.

   I feel the cushion rumble as a chuckle fills my ears," Come on. Your sister wants us up, well, you up."

   " Just five more minutes..." I say, muffled by my the warm cushion.

   I feel a pair of warm hands move my body onto the large cushion before something warm overlap my lips. My sore eyelids reluctantly open, then widen in surprise once I realize James was kissing me. He smirks at me once he pulls away," Looks like you're awake." I groan and flop my head back onto his chest," Come on...we need to get up."

" Yeah...you're right..." I mumbled, rubbing my eyes before laying my chin on James' chest, gazing upon his face. He stares back at me with a slight smile, his arms wrapped around me," I love you..."

   James chuckles, smiling lovingly at me," I love you too." He says, leaning down and capturing my lips with his own. I feel his thumbs rub circles on my hips as our kiss get more heated. James switches our positions to where I'm underneath him now, my arms wrapped around his neck as his remain on my hips.

   " Noah! Wake up already!" Roxy shouts, banging on my bedroom door," Breakfast is ready and it's going to get cold!"

   James chuckles once we pull away, hovering over my body," I guess we should get up."

   I smile up at him and nod," Yeah..." I say as James gets off me, standing up and stretching his arms above his head. I stumble off my bed, a yawn escaping me as I stretch my limbs out. As I unplug my phone from its charger to check for notifications, something clicks in my mind to cause me to panic," OH MY GODDESS."

   " What? What's wrong?" James asked, worried," Is something wrong?"

   I nod my head, feeling a pit of worry growing in my chest," M-My family doesn't know you stayed the night..." I replied, staring up at James.

   His face paled as the same fearful expression overtook his face," Oh lord...." He ran his hand stressfully through his hair," They're going to kill me, aren't they?"

   " I believe so..."

   " I'm so dead...I am SO dead."

   " What are we going to do?"

   James looks around the room nervously before he gazes lands on my window," I can jump out the window."

   " James no..."

   " It's the only option, Noah. I don't want to die at the hands of your family." He states, making sure he had everything in his bag before opening my window.

   " But you could hurt yourself." I protest, grabbing his arm.

   " It's fine. I'm a werewolf after all." He dismisses, throwing a leg out the window," So I'll see you-"

   My bedroom door swings open, revealing my ranting sister," Noah! What is taking you-" Roxy stopped dead in her tracks,"..so long?"

   " R-Roxy! H-Hey..." I stutter, awkwardly waving to her," So James stayed the night..!"

   " Uh-huh..." She crosses her arms on her chest, starring daggers as James and I," So...why is he trying to jump out the window..?"

   " I don't want to die." James answers for me, pulling his leg back inside.

   Roxy laughs, holding her gut as if she heard the funniest thing in the world," You won't die James. Maybe get scolded by our parents, but you won't die...unless you did something?" she raised her eyebrow at the two of us.

   " N-No no! We didn't do anything!" I reply, feeling my face flare red," W-We kissed but nothing else! I swear!"

   " Alright alright..." Roxy turns around," Just hurry up and come down to breakfast you two."

   And with that, she left for breakfast, leaving me and James alone in my room," So breakfast..?" James says, a bit unsure.

   " I guess so." I reply, taking his hand in mine before walking out of the room, down the stairs, and into the dining room where my mother and sister sat eating.

   " Good morning." I say, announcing my presence in the room as both James and I sat down next to each other.

   My mother looks up from her book to greet me, but stops when she notices James," I didn't know you stayed the night?"

   " Well, we did see his car outside last night." My father comments from the kitchen, now fixing two more plates of breakfast.

   " That is true..." My mother says, taking another bite of her food," You guys did behave yourselves right?"

   " Of course they did," Roxy replies, sipping on her glass of milk," I didn't hear any noise come from Noah's room last night."

   " Roxy!" I shout, my face as red as a firetruck.

   " Whaaaat?" Roxy innocently says, putting her hands up in surrender," I didn't hear anything."

   " You're the worst..." I mumble, burying my face into James' arm. James chuckles and ruffles my morning hair, making it messier.

   " But sweetie, you can't blame us. I mean, you are wearing his shirt." My mother comments.

   My face flares red," That doesn't mean anything!" I shout, holding onto James' arm.

   " But those hickeys do." Roxy smirks, pointing at all the marks on my neck that were revealed. I groan and bury my head back into James' arm. I hope this conversation doesn't weird James out, he hasn't said anything throughout this entire conversation.

   Finally, my father enters the dining room, holding two plates of hot bacon omelets," Bon appetit!" My father says as he places the food in front of James and I.

   " Thank you, Mr. Goodson." James smiles at my dad before grabbing his fork and digging into his food.

   I lift my head off James' arm, smiling at my father," Yeah, thanks dad." I say, taking a bite of my breakfast.

   " It's no problem," My father replies, sitting down next to my mother," if I didn't cook, you probably wouldn't eat Noah.

   I roll my eyes, a small smile on my face as I continue to eat.

   Once James and I finish our breakfast, we both place our dishes in the sink before heading back upstairs to change.

   " I hope you didn't feel uncomfortable at breakfast," I say as we enter my room, walking over to my dresser for a change of clothes," my family is...very unique.

   " I was fine...unlike you." He replies, digging through his bag for clothes," I found it rather amusing."

   " How dare you laugh at my misery..!" I face James and stomp my foot on the ground like a pouting child, earning myself a chuckle from James. I turn back to my dresser and pull out a black v-neck and blue skinny jeans," I'll be in the bathroom changing, you can change here." James nods before I exit the room, going across the hall and into the bathroom. I shut the bathroom door behind me before getting dressed.

   I quickly run a brush through my hair, my bang once again covering my eye, before exiting the bathroom," Are you dressed?" I ask, knocking on my bedroom door. I hear a 'yes' come from the other side, allowing me to open the door. James was sitting on my bed fully dressed, staring at his phone screen," Wha'cha dooooing?" I ask, sitting next to James.

   He shuts his phone off and smiles at me," Nothing. I was just informing my dad that I would be here for the rest of the day."

   " Really?!" I stare at James with an excited smile on my face," Do you mean it?!"

   A chuckle escapes James before nodding his head," Of course love." I jump up and down on my bed in excitement; I was SO happy to have a day with James. Just us! " Easy love. You might hurt yourself." James laughs, wrapping his around my torso to stop my movement.

   " Alright alright..." I settle down next to James, leaning my head on his shoulder," So what do you want to do today?"

   I feel James shrug," I don't know." He answers," What do you want to do?"

   I rub my chin, pondering for a moment before answering," How about we go on a run?" A see James' smile widen," Is that a yes?"

   " Of course!" He embraces me in a hug, swinging me around the room in excitement. I laugh as James continues to swing me before he finally stops," Shall we go then?"

   I nod, both of us bolting out of my room, down the stairs, and out the back door," WE'RE GOING ON A RUN!" I shout out to my family, running to the tree line of the forest. I walk behind a tree, beginning to strip myself of my clothes. I was only able to strip my shirt off before a pair of warm, muscular arms wrap around my waist.

   " How did you get this?" I hear James ask as his lips trace over the huge scar on my back; the one the rogue had given me," I remember seeing it last night, but I didn't have the courage to ask."

   I stay silent, not wanting to get into the topic of my parents' deaths," Did your alpha do this to you? Or was it-"

   I shake my head," N-Neither..." I reply as James rests his head on my shoulder," Neither did this to me..."

   " Did Ben do this to you?" He asked as I shake my head in response," Then who?"

   " I don't know..." I mumble, leaning into James body," I can't go into that topic right now...so please drop it, alright?" James only nods in response before letting me go. We both finish stripping ourselves of our clothes before shifting into our wolves.

   I walk alongside James' black beast, gently rubbing myself against him as we walk. His chest puffs up with pride, causing me to laugh in my mind," Where to?" I ask.

   " I don't know. You know the forest better then I do." James replies, his tail wagging slightly," You lead." I happily yelp in response before running ahead of James. I hear him bark behind me, but I kept running.

   My paws were beating hard against the cold hard ground, my claws digging into the soft soil. The fresh morning air wielded with countless smells and sounds around James and myself, caressing my soft, white fur. My slim legs carried me over the ground with ease, putting some distance between James and I.

   I don't take runs very often, which happens to be bad for my wolf, but when I do, I just feel so free. Especially with James by my side, I don't think this can get any better.
