"Hey you okay Tori?" Caleb asked as I stomped into the living room.

"Just dandy" I replied sarcastically, dragging myself up the stairs.

I just got back from town and I really wasn't in the mood. I had to drive all that way to get tampons, since magically wolves don't get their periods like humans do.

I found out today when I asked Emma to help me get some, and she explained it all to me. I was totally petrified when I realized I had to travel so far, and I had to get them since mine was due soon.

Luka wasn't back as yet, so Emma came with me since I knew he might still be on edge about me travelling alone. We actually spent a while in town, shopping in some human stores and grabbing dinner, so it was now dark outside. Emma had to stop at her parent's house, and I travelled here alone from there.

The reason why I'm upset? I just spent the last ten minutes looking for my phone in my car, with the flashlight on my phone!

Sometimes I can really annoy myself.

I was just about to enter Luka's room, but decided to go to my room instead. To my delight, he was in my room watching TV.

"Well it's good to see that you were concerned about me" I mumbled as I kissed his cheek and threw my bags beside him. I missed him.

"I knew you were with Emma, so I figured you were safe. And I'm trying not to cluster you" He defended. "But if you want me to be clingy... "

I rolled my eyes as I stalked to the bathroom to get a shower.

"You okay? " He asked, following me inside the bathroom. "Did something happen? "

"I'm fine. Just tired" I mumbled.

He didn't answer, so I thought he went back to the room but when I exited the shower he was standing at the door, waiting.

"Had a rough day? " He asked, as he took my towel from me and dried my hair.

"I actually had a quite interesting day. First I found out that the wolf that was supposed to be Mark wasn't actually Mark. Then I had to go all the way in town because wolves don't have perio-"

"Wait what do you mean by the wolf wasn't Mark? " He asked in the middle of my rambling about my day. I gave him an annoyed look, but I understood why he cut me off.

"The wolf from last night wasn't Mark. Your mom convinced him to take the blame, but I let it go since Emma said the real wolf wasn't a danger"

"Wait Emma? Mom? If the wolf wasn't Mark as you say, you're telling me that they know the wolf that attacked you last night?" I suddenly regretted bringing it up.

"Luka everyone including Emma assured me that he wasn't a danger, and I trust Emma. I don't know what relations they have with Mr Bad wolf, but if she says we're safe then I believe her. She really didn't want me to push it so I let it go, I'll let her deal with it"

"Mr Bad wolf? " He snickered, while helping me put on my blouse. I rolled my eyes.

"That's all you got from everything I said? " I gave him a pointed look.

"No" He chuckled. "But your nicknames are priceless".

"Why are you so calm about this? " I asked curiously. Just last night he seemed as if he would've bitten off anyone's head who touched me.

"I'm not okay with it, but I know my mom and sister. If they know him, and they say you're safe then that's all that matters. I don't care who the damn wolf is" He mumbled the last part, as he pecked my lips.

That distracted me completely from the topic at hand as I pressed my lips harder to his. It has been too long. He picked me up swiftly, bringing me to my bed.

"Feel better? " He mumbled against my lips.

"I do now".

I woke up with a massive weight on me. I tried to move, but it was rendered pointless. Groaning, I gently pinched his arm, knowing it would wake him up. I've done this quite a few times since we started sleeping in the same bed.

"Morning Angel" He whispered, pulling me back to his chest as I tried to escape.

"Morning" I rushed as I attempted to move again.

"Stayyy... " He whined, not letting his grip loosen.

"Luka I have to pee" I mocked his tone and he quickly released me, knowing I wont have long left.

"What time is it? " I shouted.

"7:30!"

I groaned. It was definitely too early to be up.
