Natayshia's POV.

As I walk into the pack house I can see the look of shock one everyone's faces, they were not expecting me. I look around to notice everyone looks haggard and stressed. Although my parents are currently the Alphas because I was supposed to take the role of Alpha a week ago the time for my parents to reign have passed and I can see they have all needed me.

Slowly, as my father's rule came closer to its end the strength and loyalty of the pack was passing on to me even though I had not completed my ceremony. A pack without their Alpha is slowly destroyed and becomes weakened. That is why after a certain time the strength of an Alpha's power begins to decrease and passes on to the next Alpha; this is so the strength of the pack remains with the next strong generation. If an old Alpha tried to hold onto his position bad thing happen because they are not meant to try and keep their power, only a strong Alpha can lead the pack.

They have needed me all this time, never calling me or asking me to come back, I didn't realize how bad the physical state of my pack was diminishing. Once the shock had warn off and everyone realized I was actually back I was charged at and fell to the floor with a large pile of people on top of me, I attempted to push them off me but they were all to heavy "can't breathe". Instantly the weight was off me and people began to hug me or just made any effort to touch me, even if it was just for a second. I could see the light return to their eyes and energy flow through their movements again. I saw people running around in every direction calling out and yelling "The Alpha is back! She has returned!"

More people began to fill in around me and attempt to make physical contact with me, I walked through the enlarging group running my fingers along faces, shoulders and arms in a comforting manner. I walked through the increasing amount of people and to the doors of my father's office. Without knocking I enter and see my parents sitting together on his towering chair behind his desk, holding each other for comfort. My eyes soak in the look of them together as I walk cover to his desk. They both look exhausted and to their wits end, they don't even notice I've walked in and only realize I'm back when I sit down while saying "I'm back." Tears fall from my eyes as they turn and their eyes make contact with mine. They rush out of their seat and come around the desk embracing me in their arms, as they embrace me the door is slamed open and the sound of running feet meets me ears. My parents pull back and I'm swiftly pulled against a hard chest as my brother draws me to him, although he is younger he's still much taller than me.

He has started to put on muscle and is beginning to look older than me. "Rackner why is your chest so hard? Are you trying to break my nose? That's no way to greet your sister upon her return." Rackner quickly releases me and looks at me with a sad face "I missed you big sis and so has the pack. None one wanted to call you and draw you away from your mate, especially in the first few weeks of meeting each other. We've tried to hold on as long as we could, you should see Trent, he's an absolute mess! Where is your mate? You didn't come alone did you, did something happen? Do I need to remove his man-parts for you?" The more he noticed Kelner wasn't with me the angrier he got that I was worried I was going to have to restrain him before he went after my mate and castrated him, I'll probably need those later.

"It's fine, we just got into an argument before I left and I knew I had to get back to the pack. I could feel everyone's pain through the link. Although none of you called to tell me I knew something was wrong, it was causing me to be very irritable." Rackner throws an arm over my shoulders and as a family we walk out of the office, as we pass through the doors we stop dead in our tracks, the whole entire pack is standing just outside the doors and they all have smiles on there faces because they've all heard I'm back and want to see me with their own eyes.

I walk into my gathered pack and affectionately greet each one, even the ones who have already seen me. I'm suddenly pulled into a tight hug and the air is squeezed out of my lungs, "I'm so glad you're back! Never leave me like that again, all the responsibility...I thought I would go mad if you did come back sooner." I pull back and smile at him, I press both hands to his cheeks "I've missed you too Trent, I don't think I ever want to be parted from you for this long ever again."

I pull him back to me and rest my head on his chest listening to the heart beat of my dear friend; the sound that has comforted and lulled me to sleep countless times whenever I needed him. "Let's never be parted again, I will always need you" I feel his chuckle against me cheek, "agreed but only so that you can do all the work and I can just relax and leave you to do everything." I laugh as I pull away from him, "you always were such a lazy-ass" I say as he wipes a single tear from my face, he smiles softy seeing how much I've truly missed being without him.

I clear my throat and turn to everyone around me, I take a deep breathe before I speak and without saying a word the whole room quiets down to listen, "Alright everyone, I know many have you...well all of you have been waiting for me to come back. Well now I am and it's about time we got things rolling. Tomorrow night we shall have the Alpha ceremony and I will take my rightful place, I need everyone to work hard and prepare everything. Unless there are any objections I think we should have a BBQ after the ceremony, let's just make this whole event casual and not continue with formalities. How does that sound?" Everyone cheers and once it cools down everyone begins running around in different directs and are beginning to start the first preparations to my Alpha Ceremony. I smile broadly and enjoy the ruckus and feeling of warmth I get from my packs excitement as the beginning of my reigning draws near.

This is what I am came for, it was what I needed. I frown a little bit, if only Kelner was here to celebrate it with me, this is a time I want him close to me. I shake my head and start my walk to the family rooms, how could he disregard my responsibilities but think only of his own. We talked about it from the start and yet he still didn't take my feelings into consideration. I ignore my gloomy thoughts and focus my mind only on the celebration that is about to happen. This is my home and where my heart truly lies, I feel a prick in my chest at the thought knowing my heart will only lie with Kelner. But I am still an Alpha and I'm not going to stand around and stop doing the very thing I has born to do. We shall all see tomorrow how it will go.
