I packed up my boxes in my new room at the pack house. The room had pretty basic furniture in it. All white walls and brown wood floor. A black queen size bed with no headbord pressed up against the wall. A boring black desk under the single window in the room at the foot end of the bed. Beside the desk in one of the four corners of the room were there a white armchair with black legs. Beside the bed were there a black nightstand and a black bookshelf. On the wall beside the book shelves there is a full body mirror hanging. And up against the next wall in the corner near the mirror, stood a dresser with two shelf hanging over it and a wardrobe standing beside it. Next to the wardrobe is the entrance to my room. In the middle of the wall opposite to the one with the bookshelf was a door that led into a basic yet modern and nice looking bathroom.
The bathroom had dark brown square tile walls with black joints. The cement floor was painted black. The showers were framed in by glass doors and filled the left corner of the small room. In the right sat the white toilet and in between those two were the white and light wood sink mounted up on the wall.
My dad helped me carry the boxes from my parents house to the pack house. Meanwhile my mom helped me pack up everything. She's making my bed look cozy and I'm putting away my clothes. Folding everything into the drawers and hanging my dresses or the nicer blouses into the wardrobe.
"That must be the last boxe I think" my dad said and exhaled. Me and my mom looked at him before starting to laugh. I had only packed teen boxes with all my stuff and who of them had me and my mom brought with us. He sat down at the whit officchair that matched the armchair that belonged to the desk.
"Honey, instead of just sitting there and being lazy, can you set up the thing we got her in a moving gift?" Dad gave mom an annoying look and mom just blew him a kiss, before starting to take my toiletries into the bathroom. My dad just rolled his eyes and catched her in a hug and got a kiss from her before walking out. I just looked at them before shaking my head, closed the drawer I had put all my pj's in and started on the next one.
I belonged to the Black Sweet River pack located in the deep forest of Alabama. Our small community is like a small town but with our own special rules. The pack house were like our city hall. The first floor consisted of the Alpha's and the Beta's two offices. A ballroom that is also where we held the pack meetings once a month. A kitchen and the pack house's dining room. The second, third and fourth levels consisted of the young adults rooms. But the fourth vere only for the next Alpha, Beata, Gamma in line. I don't know for sure but people say that their rooms were bigger than ours. Two guest rooms were also located on the fourth floor.
"Sweethe to celebrate your eighteenth birthday we got you a present. Look, we know that you aren't officially eighteen yet but we think that you would need this." I stopped folding away my clothes and took the two heavy presents my dad held out to me. I sat down on my bed, that felt weird to say. Before starting with the box that was on top. I ripped it open and saw one of the newest hot speakers. It had a built-in googlasisten and you could play anything on it. But the best thing was that it was so small yet so great sound.
"Oh My MOON GODDESS!! Thank you guys!" I looked up at them and mom stod inside dad's arms and they both had big smiles on their faces.
"Yah we know we are the best but open the next one" mom said excitedly. I sat the speaker on the nightstand and started to open the next one. It was a new macbook air.
"Why did I get this one? I have a computer that works perfectly fine" I looked at my parents.
"Sweethe your computer is a stationary and an old one." I looked at him with a face saying 'so what?'.
"Well we aren't going to move that relic so if you would much rather move that old machine by yourself you are more than welcomed!" he said laughing. My mouth formed the shape of an O and I smiled at them both. Before getting up and giving them both a hug.
"Thank you" I released my loving parents from the hug and we all got back to fixing the room I would be living in for the next three years.
That was a pack thing. The summer the same year you turned eighteen you moved into the pack house. There you would learn what job's there were inside the pack, how to work them and finally get your job title for the rest of your life. It may sound boring but no it is just the most effective thing that is. After the three years you would have two choices. 1. Move in with your Mate, or 2. Get your own place in the town. Meanwhile you either keep on learning your cariere and also work the easier tasks on it, or just graduate and start working for real. It depends on the job.
It took us three and a half hours to get my room ready. But when we were finished the boring and kinda dark looking room. Looked like a cozy and light room. The time was around.
" Well I would say that this is a great job we have done in this room. What do you say about dinner?" My mom said, hugging me from the side. I nodded at the idea and we walked out, I looked at my door and we walked out from the pack house.
Outside the pack house is where the main street is where most of the things to do are. The small restaurant, the daycare, the bakery, foodstore, gym and the small pack hospital. Behind the gym is an outside training area and then the rest of the houses. I all formed a circle with some roads reaching out from it. We walked to the small restaurant and asked for a table. It was a bit of a wait but what could we do?
"Oh yeah I just remembered that I need to be back at eight, that's when the introduction is set to be"
My parents nodded their heads and in a short amount of time we got our table.
"Hi! What would you like to order?" A boy said he was only a couple of years older than me. I know that because I remembered when he started working here.
" I would like to have the chicken salad and a soda pleas" I said and gave him a smile. He wrote down my order in his note-block and took my parents orders.
"All right, I will come out with your drinks in a minute. '' He looked directly at me and winked before walking off to the kitchen with our order.
In some minutes he came back with our drinks and fifteen-minutes after that he gave us our food. Mom, dad and I talked a lot and we laughed a lot. But the time went by fast and before we knew it, she was near eight a clock.
We said our goodbye's and gave our hugs before I walked back to my new home.
