Three days. That's how long it took Liam to come back. He pushed open the pack doors everyone stopped and stared. Layers of dirt and mud cake his body. You could barley tell that he is a man.

At this time Mateo was makin his way down the stairs. Upon seeing Liam he rushed down. Soon Kensley joined him. She throws a blanket around his shoulder. Both of them rush him upstairs away from prying eyes.

Liam just blinks at both of them. He had been in wolf form for so long and was barley getting his senses back. He tried to process everything around him. What he was smelling, feeling, what he saw, but none of it was registering.

Mateo and Kensley directed Liam towards a spare room on his floor one with a tub. Walking into the bathroom Mateo shut the door and they let go of Liam. Kensley rushes to the tub and starts running warm water, adding soap.

"Liam, Liam, hey do you know where you are?" Mateo stands in front of Liam.

Liam blinks a few times trying to put words together in his head. Instead he simply nodded his head. His face held a blank expression and his eyes slowly opened and closed.

When Kensley finishes getting the tub ready for him she grabs his forehead urging him to strip and get into the soapy water. He abides and gets in the tub.

"I'm going to leave you to this. Audrey has finally set a date and made arrangements for her wedding. Neither her nor her parents know about the incident. Now I have tell them and her," he signed and rubbed his temples.

"Hard running one of the strongest packs in America isn't it?" Kensley teased Mateo as she scrubbed the caked on dirt off of her alpha.

"Didn't know it'd be so much babysitting. The attacks don't help much either," he turns on his toes and walks out the bathroom still mumbling under his breathe.

It was a solid thirty minutes before Liam could even process where he was.

"I guess I made quite a mess," Liam finally spoke making Kensley drop her hands from his hair and take a step back. Liam braced him self putting his hands on the side of the tub.

She grabbed a towel from the cabinet, "Glad to see you've finally came back around."

"Glad to be back," he looked down at the muddy water, "hand me a towel," Kensley did as fold handed him a towel and turned around while he wrapped it around his waist, "I'm going to go take a long shower, but first what day is it?"

"Saturday," Kensley spoke as he walked past her. She began to follow him out the room.

"Three days gone. No wonder I smell so bad," he half heartedly laughed and walked down the hall to his room shutting the door behind him.

Kensley simply shook her head and walked off downstairs.

         "Have you done your chores yet?" Mercedes asked Serenity. The girls were cooling down, stretching out their muscles after afternoon workouts.

Serenity shook her head, "kinda wish I did it this morning."

Word spread quickly that Alpha Liam was back, and it was quite clear he was in a rough condition.

"That's tough. I'm sorry hun," she frowned.

"Mercedes, hurry up. Dad wants you home tonight," Aston yelled at his sister from across the yard. He stood in front of the back door.

Mercedes rolled her eyes, "that's my que to go."

Serenity frowned, "your not staying here tonight?"

"Apparently not," they both began walking over together.

Serenity however stopped walking a few feet's away from Aston. She didn't want her mouth to get her stricken down again. That would set her back another day.

Mercedes gave her friend a quick goodbye hug, as Aston began walking away. She ran after him leaving Serenity standing in the back yard. She stared after them, then went upstairs.

Before she could get comfortable she of course had to do her weekly chores. Which just so happened to be cleaning the alphas floor. Grabbing the cleaning supplies she went upstairs.

Today she dared to venture into the spare bedroom after seeing the door left wide open. Walking inside she checked the room. This room had carpet, plush white carpet. The carpet being so white you could see where someone walked in with dirt on their bare feet. Serenity sighed and went to grab the vacuum.

She vacuumed the whole room, then cautiously pushed open the bathroom door. Serenity's jaw dropped. The tub is covered with dry mud. The floor are also dirty with dirt mixed with water. With one last sigh she began to clear the tub scrubbing the mud on the sides. When finished she mopped the floor. A task that was much easier then wiping the tub clean.

By the time she finished cleaning the bathroom beads of sweat were dripping down her face. She wiped them off with the back of her hand and moved on to the next room. Zoey's.

She turned the doors nob, but it was locked. Not wanting to disturb her she walked towards his room. The door was slightly cracked, so she stopped in front of it, bent down, and peaked inside.

From what she could see he was nowhere in sight, so she simply pushed open the doors standing up. Walking in fully the first place she check was the bathroom. Leaning her lesson from the first time it would just be easier to get the bigger mess cleaned first.

The bathroom was spotless surprisingly.

            Liam had been all over the pack house after showering. He let Mateo fill him in on what he missed. Also getting news of his sister and entire family in general coming back to the pack. They were going to be planning a wedding.

He was slumped. After checking everything in his pack doing as a good alpha should, he just wanted to rest. The last few days were hell, and he, well he needed a break.

Liam began walking up the steps towards his room. The thought of getting under the sheets of his bed on mind. Feeling the warmth envelop him. Liam loved the thought and kind of smiled to himself as he thought of it.

Upon reaching his floor he smelt the wonderful smell of honey. The sweet softness of the smell drew him in and he walked towards his room where it was the strongest. Liam walked inside his room and saw the closet door wide open. Creeping over he sees the girl.

He can't help to think of what is drawing him to her. Why is her scent so appealing? Leaning against the door frame he admires her. She doesn't seem to notice his presence as she re organizes the shoes discarded on the floor.

When she does finally turn around she jumps noticing the alpha standing at the door way starring at her. Serenity immediately puts her head down in a submissive manner.

"I'm sorry. I didn't notice you there."

Liam turns his head crossing his arms, "Yah well," he clears his throat, "you don't need to wash the clothes today. There not much. You can just change my sheets."

He turns on his heels and walk away off to the bathroom. Where inside he splashed water on his face. Being connected with your wolf for three days straight has some tolls. It changes you a bit, and broadens your mind sight. But never, has it made him attracted to a person. And he didn't know why it was now.

Walking out of the bathroom he began to leave the room. Passing by serenity as she stripped his bed and prepared it for new sheets, and covers.

Liam walked half way across the house where Mateo has his office. Throwing open the double door to the room he startled Mateo. Mateo stood up looking at him.

"What did you find out about Serenity?"

Mateo shook his head sitting back down, "and here I am thinking something is wrong."

Liam walked in front of his desk and took a seat in one of the chairs placed in front, "so?"

"Not much," Mateo massaged his temples, "it's been a chaotic few days remember?"

Liam stood back up, "Give me what you have then. Don't stop digging though."

Mateo sighed and opened a draw on the side of his desk pulling out a Manila folder. He handed it to Liam, "why are we so invested in this girl?"

He began flipping trough the file taking a glance at the few papers inside, "I'll tell you when I know," and with that he walked back to his wing and into his room.

All thoughts of sleep left his mind.
