Love Thy Shadow, Satan (LTSS) [#Wattys2018]

Chapter 17 - Warm Welcoming

3rd Persons POV

After walking back to the Main Hall, Jared was welcomed by the all too familiar sight, the clear segregation of the people. By now, everyone had been informed that the rogues which had accompanied their Alpha home were to be sworn into the Blood Lust Pack tommorow morning - and none intended to hide their disapproval of the idea.

Rogues are not known to be the most friendly of creatures. I've heard that they live alone mostly... that they are only loyal to themselves.

"Hello!"
"Jared White-"
"- we presume?"

Jared was pulled out of his thoughts when he saw three girls walking up to him - identical in every aspect.

Same face. Same hair. Same clothes.
Heck! They even sounded alike just then, I'm sure!

"Um... yes... I'm Jared... ... hi..." (awkward wave)

"Hi, Jared! It's nice to finally meet you!" One said, politely offering her hand to shake.

"We've heard a lot about you from our Alpha, Faith" the 2nd did the same, Jared accepting each hand as he tried to overcome his shock at what was actually happening.

Three people... same... They all look the same...? ...why?

"We are her Gamma - Annabella, Bellanora, and Clarabelle Davis. But you can call us ABC..." the 3rd ended the chain of handshakes, accompanied with the same confident smile he had seen twice before.

Yup. There's absolutely no difference. Even their teeth look identical. He thought, feeling as if he'd failed to decode the living puzzle before him. Nothing at all to differentiate them by... great.

"... There's no need to remember our names, really, since we are never apart. "

Well, at least I won't have a problem with having to remember which is who.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, ABC, and - hey, wait! Did you just say that all 3 of you are her Gamma? How is that even legal?!" Disbelief expressed deeply by his tone, as he tried to gain understanding of the situation.

"I'm sure you can ask for the details from Alpha Faith but, long story short, we triplets are considered as one being since we share the same wolf, Whisper."

"The matter was already taken to Fenrir Greyback, A.K.A. Wolf King, and he already dubbed it fine so..."

"We don't think anyone else should have a problem then, don't you think?"

Jared, although still still a little unsure of if this could actually happen, let the subject drop and greeted the new Rogues. He also took his position at the front of the Main Hall, clearing his throat to grab everyone's attention.

Everyone turned to face him, some Rogues not looking very happy with being so rudely interrupted by the stranger before them. But as soon as they saw him, they knew who he was ... the beloved brother of their leader. Although they didn't know him nor trust him as much as his sister, they had enough respect for him to quietly listen to his next words. Jared still didn't like the fact that their is a large group of Rogues currently lounging around in their territory, but he knew there's no need asking Faith anything because she'll answer everyones' unanswered questions soon enough.

But still, I don't understand... How did Faith mix up with these people?

"Welcome, Rogues and fellow pack members! For all those who don't know me, I am Jared White - the Alpha's elder twin - and this is the Blood Moon Pack House, your new place of residence. I am sorry for keeping you waiting but, since we weren't expecting so many guests - or, should I say, recruits - I had to go make the necessary arrangements to ensure your stays here feel no less than home. Faith asked me to give you all rooms according to her set instructions, specifying each of your individual needs and wants. You will find everything in order, with all your daily necessities in place. All of you are going to be living on the same corridor as your Alpha, as she commanded. Mates will share rooms, as will women with their children, and the Davis', ABC, will also be sharing the room to the left of their Alpha. I didn't understand why at first but they were quick to clear that confusion up."
