Noah winced from the pain on his arm whenever Emma ran the damp clothe on it, wiping off the blood. “It's healing already" she pointed out, assuring Noah. He nodded with a smile. Looking around, he realized that was the first time he was in Emma's room.
“Nice place" he complimented
“Thanks" She dropped the bloody cloth in the bowl, stood up and sat beside him on the bed. “So do you have any idea who that might be?" She questioned with a more serious tone.
Noah exhaled sharply. He thought there was a good chance it might be a wolf sent from Alpha Marcus. Maybe he found out about what they did and came for retaliation. “Well, any idea?" Emma reiterated
“Nope" He stood up and walked to window.
“There have to be a reason for whoever it was that came after you. He definitely seemed intent on harming you. Now I'm worried he might try again" Emma stated with a worried look.
“Hey!" He called softly, turning to face her “Nothing is gonna happen to me, you don't have to worry. We are gonna figure out who it was and we'll deal with it. I just need to tell the Alpha about it first"
“Alright" she nodded “I'll go with you"

Dropping the duffle bag angrily on the bed, Liam proceeded with filling it up with his clothes, clearing out his closet. Halfway through, he stopped, sat on the bed and buried his face in his palms.
Not being able to figure out what happened to him was eating him up. He hadn't blacked out before, let alone for twenty four hours. He had not a single clue or idea to lead with. And then there was the issue of being chased by a wolf.
His first thought was that whoever it was, was sent by his father, maybe to scare him into leaving. But he didn't know if he was right or if he was just reaching. Just then he heard footsteps approaching and quickly stood, resuming his packing.
“What are you doing?" He heard the Alpha's voice behind him.
“Packing. You wanted me out remember?" He retorted, throwing another shirt into the bag. He turned to face the Alpha, “Don't worry, I'll be done in a few minutes and then I'm out" He added
The Alpha stared Intently at his face with a questioning look. “What happened to you?"
Liam knew he was talking about the bruises on his face he got from rogue branches and sharp leaves whilst trying to escape with his life in the woods. “Nothing" he shook his head and turned away from him.
“That...."
“Father!" Noah's call from downstairs cut the Alpha's sentence. Alpha Wolverson stood for a few more seconds without saying a word before he finally left. Liam scoffed, shaking his head.

Alpha Wolverson came downstairs to a sight of his Luna examining the wounds on Noah which was almost fully healed. “What the hell happened?" He questioned. “You disappeared on us and now you come back with wounds"
“We got attacked" Emma replied
“What?"
“Yeah, I just shifted and suddenly this wolf jumped out, tackling me. He seemed determined to end me. He was quite strong and fast. If it wasn't for Emma here, it might have ended differently" Noah explained
“Is he dead?" Alpha Wolverson asked
“No. He got away"
“And you have no idea who it might be?" Katherine chipped in
“No we don't. It had an unfamiliar scent. I'm not sure he's from this pack" Emma replied
“Alright. Get some rest and heal fully. We'll talk about this later" Said the Alpha, knowing they couldn't talk about what they were all thinking, not with Emma around.
“Alright" Noah nodded in understanding and led Emma toward his room.

Liam came out of the room almost bumping into Noah and Emma. He had his duffle bag across his back and another held tightly in his hand. “Whoa, where are you going?" Noah asked with a puzzled look.
“What happened to your face?"
“Got attacked by a wolf during the full moon last night." Noah replied “Are you moving out? And what happened to your face?" He questioned
“Yeah I'm moving out. I'll be staying at the five seasons" Liam stated
“And what happened to your face?" Emma asked
“Nothing" Liam replied, noticing she was staring at him more suspiciously than curiously. “Goodluck" he concluded and walked past them.
They got to the room and Noah shut the door behind him. “What?" He noticed the look on Emma's face.
“I don't know...I mean don't you think it's weird?" She asked
“What is?"
“Liam"
“What is weird about him?"
“He happened to have gotten bruises the same night you did. And now he's packing up and leaving. Doesn't that seem suspicious to you?" She explained
“What are you trying to say?" Noah's brows furrowed with confusion
“I'm trying to say...what if he was the one that attacked you?"
Noah burst into a short laughter. He stopped when he realized the serious look on Emma's face. “Wait... you're serious" he scoffed “Okay first of all, Liam is human, not a wolf, that has been proven. Secondly, now you're being paranoid"
“Think about it...what if he had become a wolf without your knowledge, without any of you knowing. Maybe he was bitten or something. I mean since he left for college have you seen him until he returned? And when he graduated why did it take six months before he returned?" She questioned
“Emma! If he was a wolf we would know. His scent will be different and we'll be able to sense his wolf" he argued
“There are some wolves who can mask their scent and are pretty good at hiding their wolf. You know that" She pushed on
“This is ridiculous. Liam is not a wolf" Noah walked closer to her and grabbed her hands. “I know you're worried but trust me, Liam is not the one who attacked us"
“Well now I just can't get it off my mind. I have a feeling" She sighed
“Well...." Noah smiled sheepishly “Let me help put your mind at ease" He grabbed her waist and pulled her into him. “And tell you thank you for having my back out there" He whispered in her ear.
“Ooh" she giggled
He took off her jacket, dropping it on the floor. He ran his fingers up and down her exposed arm, sending a tingling feeling through her body. She smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck, and pressing her lips on his. Noah melted into the kiss, sucking on her soft lips and twirling his tongues with hers.
Emma reached for the hem of his sweat shirt and pulled it up above his head, breaking their kiss, and as soon as the clothe was off, they dived right back to kissing. She ran her fingers up his bare torso and then back down to his pecs, using her fingers to trace the lines separating them.
Noah reached behind her and unzipped her sleeveless shirt. She took off her hands and let the shirt fall to the floor now exposing her red lacey bra. He broke the kiss, drew back a little, admiring her body. “You're beautiful" he smiled, making her blush.
He wrapped his right hand around her waist tighter and grabbed her ass with the other. He picked her up and she in turn immediately wrapped her legs around his waist, pressing her warm body against his. She cupped his face, kissed him deeply as he carried her to the bed.
Noah dropped her on her back gently on the soft bed, going down with her, he lay ontop of her, in-between her legs. He kissed her neck softly and slowly made his way up to her ears. He nibbled softly on her earlobe, drawing a quiet moan from her. She wrapped her legs around him tightly and the more he nibbled on her ears, the more shaky her breath became.
He stood up, undid the button on her jean and pulled it off in one quick motion. She sat up undid the clasp of her bra and took them off. She pulled him down to her, kissing him more intensely than before. He cupped her breasts, causing her to moan louder. She reached down in between them and unzipped his pants.
Pushing his pants down with her leg, she held him tightly against her body, only freeing him when he proceeded to take off her panties. He grabbed her naked thigh, squeezing gently. He stopped kissing her neck and brought his eyes to hers. He leaned closer, engaged her in a passionate kiss and in one quick motion, thrust into her. Her lips opened wide as she gasped for air before letting out a loud moan. She grabbed a hold of the sheets tightly with each thrust, her lips slightly agape. “I love you" he whispered in her ear.

Parking across the streets from the hotel Liam mentioned he was staying at, Emma turned off the ignition and began watching the hotel, hoping to catch Liam leaving so she could tail him and find out if her theory was true.
She sighed and sank back on her seat. She thought she felt something earlier when they saw Liam leaving and she was determined to figure out what he was hiding. Her phone vibrated with a text. She picked it up ‘Miss you' the text from Noah read. She smiled and was about to reply when she caught a glimpse of Liam coming out of the hotel.
She dropped the phone, sank deeper so as not to be spotted. She watched him get into his car and pulled away from the driveway. And as soon as he drove past her, she swiftly sat up, turned her engine on. “Alright let's do this" she muttered to herself, driving after him.
