Mike's PoV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The pack pour out of the house as the cars inch down the long driveway. A sleek black Citroën slows and the engine cuts off. I shift on my feet slightly and glance at Ann. I can tell through the mate link that she's nervous, but also mildly amused. Rolling my eyes slightly, I think about how inappropriate her emotions are at times. Like that one time we had to travel to Toronto to negotiate with the council, we almost got turned Rogue. As soon as the meeting finished, she dragged us (Ameli and I) to the mall, searching for "A fellow unicorn."

(A/N: Everybody on team super say aaaaayyyee)

I mentally face palm. Why am I thinking about unicorns? Yee-zus, I think Ann's rubbing off on me. May the goddess help me. Next thing you know, I'll lock myself in a room, crying over some book or a ah, ship? Just the other day, I found her crying and muttering the words "Solangelo, Solangelo, Solangelo" over and over.

Yeah. She's kinda strange.

"MIKE" Ann yells though our link. I jump and look at her, guilt written all over my face. Smirking, she nods towards the cars, from which a man is emerging. He has rugged blonde hair, brown eyes and a shadow of stubble covering his lower face. Smiling, he gestures at people to come forward from his pack, as a female joins him. She has long raven hair, with chocolate brown skin,but has startling pale grey eyes. They start to walk forward and stop before us. The Alpha,I assume, holds out his hand with a friendly glint in his eyes and says, with a heavy American accent,

"Hello, I'm Alpha Julian from the Silver Blood pack." I step forward and shake his hand. Julian drops it and gestures towards the female to his left and a man just behind him. "This is my mate, Nathalie, and my Beta, Radley."

Smiling warmly, I nod my head. "I'm the third in command of this pack. My name's Mike and this is my mate, Ann." He cocks an eyebrow and opens his mouth, but I cut in before he can get a word out. "Our Alpha is busy at the moment, they'll be joining us shortly."

I turn around to the rest of his pack. "Welcome, everybody. Shall we start with the tour?" Turning with a small wave of my hand and wrapping my arm around Ann's waist, I lead them inside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I nod and smile at Julian, trying to concentrate on what he's saying, as well as trying to lead a tour. It's hard.

Turns out, the guy's pretty funny. We both bonded over cars and an argument over video games. We laugh and Ann and Nathalie roll their eyes at us. They seem to be doing that a lot today.

Weird.

"And the last shared room in this wing, the TV room." I smile as the pups rush forward, their excitement. Grinning at Ann, I look at her, the question clear in my eyes. She tilts her head and speaks through the mind link;

"Mickey, I love you. But we're young. Don't get me wrong, I do want to have kids, but not yet. Anyway, imagine a mini Ann. It's like the incarnation of Satan on earth. Terrifying, right?" I chuckle as a picture of a baby Annie pops into my head, with beautiful green eyes.

"Nah, they'd be cute. My good looks and your pretty face together? Definitely future heart breakers."

Ann was about to answer as the yelling of a group of teenagers in front of us demands our attention. A girl, probably twelve or thirteen, from our pack, was being restrained by two of her friends. One of them, a dirty blonde-haired girl was telling her to calm down, as the other one was looking slightly bemused. Struggling against their hold, she yells at a group of boys, the leader of which standing slightly taller than her, a smirk playing on his face.

"- AND I WILL STAB YOU HALF TO DEATH WITH A RUSTY FORK, WHILE YOU WATCH YOUR PATHETIC FRIENDS CHOKING TO DEATH ON POISONED GHERKINS, THEN I'LL-" She spits, as if the words have a bad taste in her mouth. The boy has interrupted her, a joking tone in his voice, yet he's deadly calm.

"Listen up Gingie, there's no way you could do that. Just go back to the mathletes, or wherever you came from." Looking at each other, the girls friends slowly release her. Surprisingly, Crazy Girl only straightens up, crosses her arms and pushes her glasses up her nose as the blue in her eyes slowly fades to bright Amber. She leans closer to him, her voice rougher than before. Imitating his voice, she backs him up to a wall as her friends warn her not to kill him too much. Concerned for the kid's safety, Alpha Julian steps forward.

"Listen up," The girl imitates his accent, " I don't know who you are mate, but if you want some, I will give it to you." She smiles, obviously fakely, her body in a fighting stance. The crowd of British kids behind her roar with laughter, mocking the boy as the Americans look around in bewilderment. I smile slightly, reassured that she won't hurt him as Julian's face scrunches up slightly, and his annoyance becoming clear.

"Child" He calls her over, and she stiffens, sensing trouble. "You will not scorn another member of my pack without punishment. I don't know where your Alpha is, but I am sure he-"

"She."

Ameli steps into the room, power coming off her in waves. Her golden hair tucked into a bandanna and her face mysterious with the shadows casted by her SnapBack. Stepping into the room, she ignores the other packs astonished stares. The crowd parts like the Red Sea as she walks up to and shakes Julian's hand. He clears his throat and tries to formulate a sentence.

"I'm sorry Alpha. I meant no disrespect as I was not aware that you were, ah, female." Nodding her head, Ameli smiles and waves him off.

"Honestly, Alpha, it is no trouble. I am Ameli, Alpha of this pack and you are.....?" I smirk at Ann. This would be the awkward part, when she introduces Ann as her Beta.

"Julian. My mate Nathalie, and my second, Radley."

"Cool. You've met my second, Ann, and my third, Mike." She gestures to us Julian looks at me, cogs whirring in his brain. "Ok then Jules." She turns away, and he looks startled. He looks at me and I shrug while she leads us to the North Wing as I turn to talk to Luke and Aston about the border patrol alterations.

"Nerd." I hear Ann say through the bond.

"You know it baby."
