REGINA

10. Meeting New people

"Here comes the Alpha of Cannibal pack. He isn't nice. Be careful." Marce whispered into my ear. Not gonna lie, I loved his whispering voice. Okay Fiona, focus!

" Hello there princess. Nice to meet you. I am Lucas, reigning Alpha of Cannibal pack." The young,tall blonde outstretched his hand with a smirk on his face. He was fair, no white, like as white as a sheet of paper. His lips and nose were in a deep shade of red. I didn't comment on his red nose, maybe he's having a cold.

"Hello Alpha. Nice to meet you. I am Fiona, Alpha Rage's daughter." Forcing a fake smile, I shook his hand. He took me by surprise by kissing my knuckles. I felt the burning eyes of Marce on him. I acted as if I was touched by his behaviour and smiled gently, tugging my hand away from his.

"I'll have to say, you are very beautiful. I have never seen such beauty before in my life. Are you sure you are a warewolf? Like I have heard humans are very pretty. Maybe you are just a human." He smirked again. There was something in his eyes that didn't feel right. His black eyes held mischief in them, his vibe felt eerie and unnatural.
"Well Mr. Lucas, I guess you can't really feel who is a human and who isn't. All the Alphas, even their sons knew the moment they saw me that I was a warewolf, that too an Alpha. And if you are still having issues in deciding whether I truly am a warewolf or not, well you'll see that for yourself when I'll shift someday in front of you. Maybe a competition might clear up your mind." I said with a confident smile that made his lips droop. He cleared his throat and excused himself saying he needs to meet some other Alphas. As soon as he left, I puffed out a heavy breath and turned to face Marce.

"That was good." Marce nodded at me.
"Aah! He was creepy. I felt like punching him. No one asked me that question!" I said in a frustrated tone.
"He is known for his mischievous behaviour. Teasing others is what he does,with everyone. He is a young Alpha, 22. His father died due to some illness and he had recently took his father's position. Don't let him mingle with you. Stay away from him." Marce said in a serious tone. I just nodded at him.

Then came in the Alpha and Luna of the Steric Pack - Alpha Aloha and his mate Luna Timber. They were accompanied by their children, their 17 years old son Jude and 23 years old daughter Christiana. I shook my hands with Alpha Aloha and hugged his Luna. Their children smiled at me and I nodded at them. Alpha Aloha went to talk with the other Alphas and I was left with Luna Timber and her son.

Christiana was lost in the party.
"It's so nice to see you grow up so well." Luna Timber patted my head and smiled warmly at me. She was a petite woman with black shoulder length hair and black eyes. She had a round face and a few freckles on her nose and cheeks which made her look cute. Her son Jude also shared the same pitch black eyes and the dimple smile from his mother. Jude was slightly taller than me. His eyes kept wandering around the room and I saw Luna Timber slightly press his hands, like in assurance of something.

"Jude, why don't you accompany your dad? Talking to Alphas will give you some insight about the throne." Jude nodded at his mom and power walked towards his dad. After his departure, Luna Timber looked at me and smiled warmly.

"He has Agoraphobia. His dad is the only one who could keep him calm." I nodded at her. Suddenly she took my hands in her and rubbing my knuckles she said," you might not know me, but I know you so well. You look like your mum, darling. The same face,with slightly different features. Your mum and I were like sisters. We came from the same pack. I was the first one to see you when you were born and surely you made us worry for you. " She chuckled slightly.

"Your mum thought you won't live long but here you are standing infront of me, ready to get what you were born for. I am proud of you, and your mum would also had been proud of you." A drop of tear fell down from her eyes and my hands involuntarily wiped that off for her. She smiled again.
"I'll go meet those Lunas. Take care of you darling." She patted my cheeks and went in the direction of the Lunas.
