Author's Note
Sorry for the inconsistent updates, I've been really busy with school. All of you peeps who took the AP tests will understand my pain. :(

Recap-
I laid my head on Aaron's shoulder, and shifted my legs so that they were laying on top of Axel's knees. And, even though I had already slept so much at the hospital, I felt my eyes start to close.
A minute later I was asleep, and dreaming about what would happen tomorrow.
Do I have to go to school?
Will my mom cook pancakes for breakfast?
And most importantly-- do werewolves use shampoo and conditioner for their fur?

When I finally woke up, I was magically on my bed. I rubbed my face and yawned until I could feel tears come out of my eyes. Instead of getting out of bed to actually do something, I just grabbed my phone and pulled the covers over my head. I could only use one of my arms; the other one still hurt a little.
A few seconds later, I heard a toilet flush, and Blake walked out of my bathroom. He was still shirtless-- not that I was complaining.
"You're awake," he hurried over to me. "Are you okay?" I sighed as his hands started to run through my hair. It would've felt nice, but I had so many knots in my hair his fingers kept getting stuck.
"Where's everyone else?" I grabbed his wrist so that he would stop.
"They're all sleeping in their rooms," he grinned. "Good thing I chose to stay here."
"Can you get me some food?" I smiled. "Pleaaaaase."
"Of course," he cupped my face with his hand. "You sure you okay?"
"Duh," I pulled away and laid back down on my bed. "Get me some coffee too."
******
I still hadn't gotten out of bed when Blake came back. He was holding a serving tray with all the care in the world. I could see that half of the coffee had already spilled out of the mug.
He set the tray down on my nap. "Is my mom downstairs?" I asked.
"She was by your side all night," he sighed. "Your dad finally convinced her to sleep an hour ago."
"Oh," I made a note to get her something extra special for her birthday. "She wasn't freaking out or anything?" His face answered my question. "She's going to yell at me later." I sighed. If there was one thing that my mother was good at, it was yelling at me for hours.
"I'm sure you'll be fine," he sat next to me. "She's just worried for you."
"Mmhmm," I grabbed the cup of coffee and sipped some of it. "Ew!" I spat it back into the cup. "That's so bitter."
"Really?" Blake took a sip of it. "I added a lot of sugar."
"Don't drink it!" He looked startled. "I just spat in it."
"I'd be lucky to receive your spit," he winked.
"Creeper," I pushed his shoulder. "You really added sugar into this?"
"A whole teaspoon." I rolled my eyes.
"Coffee should be 1/4 coffee, 1/4 sugar, and 1/2 cream. It's simple math."
"You're cute," he poked my cheek.
"You're weird," I flicked his forehead. "Anyways, I have a few questions about your, um, werewolf status."
"Ask away."
"I know I should be freaking out, but for some reason I'm okay with it." I thought over it for a while. "Yeah, it's weird," I muttered. "Really weird."
"Still the same person," Blake lifted my chin so that I was looking directly into his eyes. "Just because I can shift into a completely different animal and because I have super magical powers doesn't make me any different from a regular guy."
"Sure."
"It doesn't change the fact that I have a major crush on you."
"Blake," I blushed. "You're lying."
"I would never lie to you," he moved his face so that our noses were just barely touching. "I'd cherish you, love you, bring you coffee with just the right amount of sugar and cream."
"Let's get back to the questions," I could barely talk with him so close to my face. I backed away and cut a piece of waffle off. "Do you have a pack?"
"Yeah, most of the pack members go to school with us."
"Is there an alpha?" I took another bite.
"Axel and I's dad."
"So, is Axel going to become alpha or you?"
"Hopefully both of us," he opened his mouth. "Strawberry please."
"Here ya go," I put the strawberry near his mouth so that he could take a bite. After he ate half of it, I popped the rest of it into my mouth.
"Any other questions?"
"Are Luke and Aaron part of your pack?"
"Luke's part of the Silver Thunder Pack," he paused. "Aaron's part of our pack."
"What's the name?"
"The Blood Rose pack."
"That's a pretty name."
"I think Emma's prettier."
"There's a gazillion Emma's," I rolled my eyes. "Your last name is cool though."
"Savage?" he grimaced. "I don't think so."
"Really Mr. Savage?" I fluttered my eyelashes and leaned towards him. "Mr. Savaaaaaaggge."
"It's so embarrassing."
"Says the guy who walks around shirtless."
"Eat," he ignored what I just said. "You'll heal faster."
"Trying to change the subject, eh?" I took a large bite of a waffle.
"You're awake!" I looked up to see Aaron. He had just walked into my room.
"What's wrong with your hair?" Half of it was sticking up.
"Well good morning to you too," he walked over.
"Come over here, I'll fix it," I reached my hands out.
"What would I do without you?"
"Nothing, I'm like your mother." I hummed as I tried to pat down his hair. I grabbed a bobby pin from my nightstand and twisted it onto his head so that his hair stayed down. "Perfect." Before I could even pull my hands away from his hair, Blake clasped my wrists and moved my hands away. "What are you doing?" I asked him.
"Don't touch his hair," he glared at Aaron.
"Why?"
"It's dirty."
"I wash my hair every single day thank you very much," Aaron retorted.
"Sure."
"You're both so immature."
"Says the girl that has fifty thousand hundred million stuffed animals," Aaron gestured to my collection of Beanies Babies.
"Hush," I pushed the tray off my lap and put it onto the nightstand. "I'm full."
"You sure you don't want to eat more?"
"You got me too much food," I looked at Aaron. "Want the rest?"
"Of course." The tray was swept off the table and all the food was devoured in three seconds.
"I kinda want to go outside," I yawned and stretched. "I feel all cooped up in here."
"Might want to brush your teeth first," Aaron commented.
"Shut up," I sighed. "You know..."
"What?"
"You can become a wolf, right?"
"Nooo, Ems," Aaron rolled his eyes and said sarcastically. "We shift into guinea pigs."
"I was wondering if..." I ignored him.
"What?"
"I could get a horseback ride on one of you, but like in wolf form."
"Why?"
"Because," I looked at Aaron. "You don't want me to ride you?"
"Whaa," he looked like he just got struck by lightning.
"I'm going to go brush my teeth." I pushed myself off my bed and put my hand under Aaron's chin to close his mouth. "Careful, you'll catch some flies."
"Go brush your teeth," he turned his head away from me.
"Okay!" I turned to Blake, whose fists were clenched. I could tell by the look on his face that he wasn't happy. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"'Kay, I'll be ready in like 45 minutes," I smiled before I headed over to my bathroom.
Before I closed the door I heard Aaron groaning and saying, "She's going to take forever."
