Chapter 5

[2019]

I sat in my car in the parking lot for the den that David Shaw, the Alpha of the Pack, gave me the address yesterday. I got out of my car and made sure that the shirt hid all my scars. I usually used magic but I decided to only use that for my ear, it has a chunk missing from my- what I call my Feral Era. Deciding it was okay, I got out my phone and texted Shaw.

Edith:[Hello! I've already settled my vehicle, will you message me when you want my presence in the room? I'm excellent at hiding my core, if you wish for me to be undetected?]

David:[That would be ideal, I'll call you but don't pick up just walk inside. Thank you for deciding to join my Pack.] I left it at read.

Closing my car door and locking along with hiding most of my Core, I headed towards the building. I opened the door with the pin the Alpha gave me, going inside I looked for their cores all gathered in one place. I found the correct door and waited outside.

I reached inside my pocket for gum, I always have some with me for my nerves. Cam actually gave me the idea, though I don't see him as often. I felt my phone vibrate, opening the door and heading inside I saw a resemblance of how a vamp meeting worked as Dad told me.

"Everyone meet the newest pack member, Edith Hill. Will you introduce yourself?" His voice was deep, I'm guessing that's the Alpha. He has black slicked back hair, his eyes seem tired. He has a leather jacket on, with a white shirt underneath with blue jeans. Walking next to him, I felt everyone's eyes on me. Taking a deep breath, I put my gaze on a picture on the other side.

"As he stated, I am Edith Hill. I'm of fifteen years of age, and D.U.M.P has placed me in this pack, I will be here for three years in total," I spoke, " I hope you each do the best to convince me to stay in the Shaw Pack." Damn it, why do I talk a mouthful around adults, with Dad and Henry I don't but why with them?

"We're glad you're here, but D.U.M.P placed you here?" Someone spoke, it was kinda raspy. He has dirty blonde hair, a pink spiked collar? And a light green shirt on, his eyes are hazel I think. He's also on the right side of David, so I'm guessing he's the Beta of the Pack.

"Correct, I'm under their watch for my situation and before you question me," I began, "My father is an Unaware and Unempowered, he has recently adopted me and I plan to tell him when I move out. So we're finding a plan for me." David coughed his throat and gestured to an empty seat near the Beta. Nodding, I scurried over there and sat down.

Minutes had passed and the Beta began whispering to me, "Hey! Edith, what's up with your ear?" I immediately went frigid and covered my ear, whispering back as I uncovered my core and hid my ear, "Nothing Beta, you must be hallucinating or you're just fibbing." I put my hand down and continued to listen to David.

"How did you know I'm the Beta, Edith?", he responded. I gave him a quick glare, grabbing a pencil and paper I wrote down- 'Simple. You're at the right side of the Alpha, David. I have done research.' I slid it to him. He grabbed and I heard a puff of air come from him.

"Asher? What are you doing?" David's gruff voice asked Asher, apparently. I heard a chuckle come from somebody, I whipped my head around and spotted him. Our eye's interlocked, and he shut up. I stood up and spoke up, "I apologize for disrupting, I was simply asking if he was the Beta. I have researched about pack dynamics but I desired to know if I was to assume the information was correct." David nodded and went on with the meeting. The meeting had ended, but we went outside and older & younger people had started to pour in.

"Hey-a, Edith what's up with your ear, Ash keeps bugging me to ask ya." Another person came up to me, he has chestnut-ish curly hair and dark green eyes. He has on a light blue, silky button up with some buttons opened with black pants.

"He was simply hallucinating, nothing is wrong with my ear," I harshly spoke, "though I do have a question," he nodded, allowing me to continue, "the meeting is over, I acknowledge that but must I stay here?" I heard him chuckle.

"No, not really but Ash will try to persuade you and some young pups may want to play with you over there." He pointed to some young wolves, they seem to be smaller than mine.

They all seemed to be wrestling with each other, the adults sometimes shouted something that caused them to stop momentarily. I shook my head, "Never had a chance to do that since of me being Human Born so I'll most likely cause harm to them." I walked off, the person didn't try to follow me. Trying to sense the Alpha's core in the sea of magic was easy, but before I could catch up to him Asher stood in front of me.

"What's up with the way you talk? Like it's all wordy!" Asher looked down on me. He was wearing-as I called dad shorts, Henry wears them a lot.

"It is a habit I picked up from someone, along with I do not wish to be here," I told him, "If you may excuse me I have to inquire Mr. Shaw about something." I tried walking past him but he grabbed my shoulder, I harshly brushed his hand off me and turned around. My breathing became slightly unsteady, no one really touched me other than Dad.

"Jumpy aren't ya! Why not join the pups? Milo must've told you that as well," He asked, I unknowingly tilted my head, "Milo! The one you were talking to earlier." I nodded my head. He blabbered on about who knows what, while I looked for an escape. Eventually I accepted my fate and just sat down and plucked some grass, he sat down along with and continued. Group by group the people left and David saw what Asher was doing and got him off my back. He allowed me to go out, and apologized for his Beta's annoyance in which I shrugged. The last thing I heard was- 'Edith's kinda like Tank, keep an eye on them.'

Tank? Is that another member of the Pack? Doesn't matter, I just want to go home, I can get some wings for me. I felt my phone vibrate, Sam had texted me to get some blood bags for him and the younger ones. I responded 'Okay, I'll be there as quickly as I can'. I hopped in my car and made my way to them.

When I reached Max's Rustic Pizza I heard an employee complaining about a customer and their giant mutt. I ordered what I was getting along with some sweets and drove off. I went to get Sam's blood and gave it to him. The Newborns have been tranced, not Invoked, to be still. For some time at least.
