The Lupa Alba

~Chapter 13~

We pulled into the Umbra pack, daylight still holding on. I hopped out the car and walked around to the trunk of the car to grab my things. I pulled my purple suitcase out with no problem but it was instantly smacked out of my hand when I grabbed the handle. growling and then turning around, I watched as Flynn smirked at me with his arms crossed.

"Welcome to your new home, Briar. I promise you that everyone will love you." He opened his arms to me and i hugged him. It felt weird since i never really hugged him before. "The pack warriors will take your bags up to your room for you" I backed away.

"Oh no, no, no. that's not necessary. I can carry my own bags," I chuckled, reaching for my suitcase handle again but felt nothing until i realized one of them have already stared carrying them up the steps. I gaped at him, "Flynn! I told you I could handle it." I pouted.

"Please. Like I'd let you carry your own bags. Plus, Chase wouldn't approve."

"but you're the Alpha. Alpha over powers Beta." I explained, though he should know that.

"yeah, I know. But Alpha doesn't over power best friend with a mate who is Lupa Alba and needs protecting especially after what happened today." He smiled at me.

I groaned. "He told you?"

"Briar, why wouldn't he? We're best friends plus he's my Beta. He felt it was right to tell his Alpha what happened to his mate dealing with rogues." He sighed.

giving him a crooked smile, I grab my purse out of the car. "Well thank you, I guess. I like knowing people care..." I trailed. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened in the woods with Braxton. he seemed so weird and...gross. I didn't even care that he got beaten up by three guys.

Not much longer, Chase came back out and smiled at me. "Come on, Bri, I have something waiting for you upstairs in our room." He smiled a cheeky grin and held out his hand to me. I too his and let him lead me up the stairs. He opened two large double doors and inside there was the furniture I picked out at IKEA yesterday. He even got the sheets too.

"How did you-" He cut me off before I could finish.

"I got help from my friends on the other side." He smirked.

I glanced at him. "Did you just quote The Princess and the Frog?" I asked as I pointed at him.

He chuckled and nodded. "hey me and- oh I'm sorry, did I interrupt something?" A familiar guy asked that walked in.

"Nope Liam, you and you're fine. what's up?"

"the pack is ready for the dinner out back. anything we can do?" Liam stated.

"Um...not that I know of. You and your mate can get ready if you need to." Chase said

I shifted to look at him. "Wait, mate? Who's your mate? Last time I saw you, as far as I know, you were mate-less," I questioned.

"Oh you'll meet her at the dinner. You'll love her too." I nodded at his answer and watched him leave the room.

"You also have a ton of new clothes as well and a dress for tonight's dinner. I don't know what it looks like because I didn't buy it for you. My friends on the other side did and she won't tell me what it looks like. she told me I can't see it until you put it on." He smiled.

"I'll change in the bathroom them," I giggled. I opened the closet and saw a huge walk-in closet with half of it was my clothes and the other half was Chase's. I Saw a black dress bag hanging in front of my shoes with tope heels, a white Michael kors purse and jewelry sitting out. Within the jewelry, there was a little white box sitting there.
