That Crazy Witchcraft

Introductions

At 5.30pm Thea was standing outside the guest house with her family and the Alpha and his family. She had done her hair and makeup with magic so she knew they were sitting to perfection and she wore one of her favourite midi dresses and sandals. She was very careful in choosing her clothes as she didn't want Greyson to have anything to complain about and she wanted to make a good first impression with the Zeta. She was very nervous about his arrival. She had never met him before but she had heard about him. Apparently he didn't speak much and gave off the impression that he was unimpressed with everything and everyone. She knew it was going to be hard to impress him. She had already doubted her food several times as she cooked this afternoon but it was too late now to change her mind.

Security had already alerted them that the Zeta had arrived and was on his way to the guest house, taking the scenic route so he could see what the town had to offer. It was small but pretty and Thea absolutely adored it.

"Is Zeta here yet?" Willow asked as she hid behind her sister's leg.

"Not yet sweetie," Thea smiled and rubbed her sister's hair to comfort her. "He will be in a little bit. Don't worry, all you have to do is say hello to him and then Harper and Hunter are going to take you home so you can have some dessert. OK?"

"Did you make it?" Willow asked now excited.

"Yes I did. Lemon Meringue. Your favourite." She smiled as Willow hugged her tighter.

A stream of cars could now be seen in the distance, heading down the hill towards them. The guest house and Thea's house sat at the edge of town looking down over everything with the pack house in the distance. Both houses were quite big and had their own large driveways and gardens. Opposite was a row of picturesque houses in a little cul-da-sac. It was like a painting. The cars pulled into the driveways and wound up the little lane.

"This is it everyone," Luna Elysie. "Big smiles and best behaviour." She said the last part to Greyson squinting her eyes at him. He rolled his in return.

The cars stopped. It was like a king had arrived. Thea supposed one had. The first car door opened and out stepped a group of men in black suits and dark glasses, all with ear pieces. The taller of the man stopped in front of the group.

"Present yourselves," he said gruffly.

"Of course," Alpha Hanson smiled. "I am Alpha Hanson and this is my wife and Luna Elysie."

"Hello," Elysie smiled. The man nodded.

"And these are my sons, Greyson and Hunter and my daughter Amiah." He gestured to each of his children. "This is my Beta Paul and -"

"Good to meet you sir," the man said holding his hand out to Paul who looked a little shocked.

"You too, em -"

"Brian, sir."

"Brian." Paul smiled. "And this is my son Tristan and his twin sister Thea and my younger daughters Harper and Willow."

"Nice to meet you all," the man stood between Paul and Alpha Hanson. "I am the head of security for the Zeta. Is this the residence we shall be staying in during our visit?"

"Yes sir," Alpha Hanson smiled.

"Great," he turned as two more car full of men climbed out and proceeded into the house. "We need to have it checked before we can let the Zeta in. You understand." It wasn't a question and Thea got the impression that he did not care if they didn't understand.

"Of course," her father nodded.

No one spoke for about 10 minutes as the men could be seen wandering around all three floors in the house. Thea wondered what they could be looking for. Whatever it was they must not have found it. All men came back out of the house and began to unpack the boots and bring trunks and bags inside. One of the suited men stopped at Brian and whispered something to him. Brian looked shocked and smiled. "Who is working in the kitchen?"
