"Thank you, Alpha, for allowing me back in." I heard his soft laugh," Always Blue Eyes, always. And Blue Eyes?" I replied, "yes Alpha?" Silence! Then the words came I weren't expecting: "I'm coming for you!!"

We walk into the house the warm coziness which I longed for engulfs me, and I smile. Mom and dad leads me to my old room and places my suitcase inside. "Come back down once you have freshened up sweetheart, we need to discuss a few things" my dad says turning around and closing the door.

I look around my old room. Everything is exactly like I remembered it. From the Pink and white furnishing to my beautiful balcony. Why did I ever leave? "Because you got it in your stupid head of yours that having a career, was an important pursuit!" Shaney is right at 17 I was full of ambition and passion thinking I could change the world, one brush stroke at a time.
I quickly grab my suitcase pulling out some tekkies (sneakers), sweatpants, a loose top and fresh underwear. I leave for my bathroom with my toilet bag in hand. I step into my bathroom open the towel closet and pull out a fluffy white towel and start the shower. I discard my clothes in the laundry bin and take my Lemon body wash I walk into the shower. The warm water droplets cascades over my body and I am grateful for this moment of bliss. It was a tiring long trip, and I am glad to give in to the steaming shower. I lather up some body wash and quickly get clean. My hair I will wash tomorrow morning, no time now.
After my short but relaxing shower I feel like a new person. I get dressed in my black sweats and matching black tekkies and throw on my loose turquoise top, I chose this as it matched my eyes. I put my hair in a messy bun and give the mirror a last wipe just to see bright eyes and blushed cheeks looking back at me. I spray some of my Vanilla perfume on as I turn off the lights and start my decent downstairs.

As soon as I reach the bottom stairs, I hear voices coming from the kitchen. We have a large wooden table with chairs in the kitchen and everyone is sitting around the table with something to drink. I notice the Gamma and Delta still here. Why are they still here? Everyone quiets down and looks at me. "Beautiful!" Mom exclaims. I smile shyly.
Next moment the door burst opens and I hear voices, my wolf instantly goes in defense mode, and I am high on alert. First person I see is a much bulkier Duncan round the corner with his mate Candice on his heels. Their faces light up and I am once again grabbed in a bear hug."Ahhh little Simmy you back! I have missed you soo." he says. I start sputtering "Little breathing room you bulky beast!" Shaney's hackles raising and my eye colour starts to change. He notices and let me go. "Sorry sis" he blushes and takes a step back. From the corner of my eye, I see My Dad and Alpha Chris looking at each other meaningfully.
Candice approaches me and gives me a hug "Hi Sims we missed you" I hug her back and let go.
I hear a shrill voice scream from the kitchen door "Juliet!!!!!" Chrisanne and I used to be best of friends; I was Juliet and she was Romeo. "Romeo, how for art thou" I reply with our common greeting. "Thou art rather pissed, that thou did not mention, thou will be henceforth coming herewith" she replies and arch a brow. I start laughing uncontrollably and give her a huge hug. "Hey easy on the spine there Sims" she says stepping away.
"Chrisanne, thou art not to use such foul language henceforth!" Alpha Chris reprimands his daughter and we all start laughing at his best Shakespear performance.
"Everyone grab something to drink we have much to discuss" dad's serious voice starts ordering us. We each grab a soda and take our place around the table. "Chris would you like to start off?" dad says looking at Alpha Chris.
"Sure Thamus, thank you. As you may know Alpha Keenan left this afternoon to attend a meeting at a neighboring pack." This was news to me I thought he will be around to accept me into the pack. "I knew you were wanting to see him, point proven" Shaney chirps up from somewhere in my head. I mentally roll my eyes at her.
Alpha Chris continued: "Therefore as acting Alpha, I think it is best I accept you back in the pack right away, as he will only be returning in two days' time. We don't want our warriors to get confused with the Rogue scent in our pack." That made sense and that is why there are so many people around the table. I just nodded my head. Mom, Dad and Duncan's faces light up like lights on a Christmas tree.
"Could we get on with it Dad?" Chrisanne asked looking at her dad pleadingly.
"You need to tell them before they accept you back in the pack Simmy!" Shaney reminded me.
I held up my hand to stop them all. Silence falling around the table. "Simoné, would you like to ask something?" Alpha Chris asked with a pensive look. "More like state, Sir. If you don't mind?" he nodded his head and gestured with his hand for me to continue.
Deep breaths Simmy, deep breaths. "Oh, you just opened the can of worms, too late for deep breaths Simmy" Shaney laughed in my head. I could mentally see how she straightens up as if listening very intently, with a mischievous grin on her face and an arched brow. It is now or never, here goes!
"Well, the thing is I am not the same person that left here 5 years ago. I have changed," I started saying but a deep voice interrupted me, none other than Shaney "We have changed Alpha, and maybe not for the better"...
Both Dad and Alpha Chris looked at each other with worry in the eyes.
