The family

How's everyone doing? I know I'm in a cloud of emotions with this one guy so fml.

I nervously scramble to find a presentable outfit, letting out a frustrated scream when I can't find anything. I take a deep breath in and start looking again. Trying to calm my nerves. I can't help but wonder if they'll like me. Lydia told me most of them are friendly, and she says Dylan is the hardest one to impress...but I've gotta say, Dylan and I are starting to grow on each other.

This will be our first time seeing each other outside of school, due to the fact that we have both been very busy and had no other time to see each other.

After a few more minutes of ripping through my closet, I find an outfit that I think is pretty damn cute.

I stare at myself in the mirror, picking at the hem of my black skater skirt. I'm going to make a fool out of myself. But why do I care?

Maybe it's because it'll be the first time I've been around this many wolves in a month, and honest to god, that scares the hell out of me. I've forgotten the feeling of living around a large amount of wolves. At first it was really lonely and I hated the fact that I couldn't go on runs with large groups of wolves. But as the weeks went on it got easier, and now I usually go on runs with Izzy who I also learned is a wolf.

I hear a car honking, and I roll my eyes. What a gentleman, note the sarcasm. Couldn't he have at least came to the door and knocked?

Don't complain, at least he's not making you cross the river again. My wolf tells me, and I can't help but agree with her.  Him driving here to pick me up is a huge improvement from shooting me in the shoulder a few weeks ago.

Wasting no more time, I grab my phone and head outside to see Dylan staring at his phone. He notices me as soon as I'm about to open the door, which he opens instead for me.

"You look nice." Dylan says, backing out of the driveway once I'm all buckled in. Safety first children.

I try to hide the blush that I feel creeping up my neck, eventually failing. I turn my attention to my hands which I nervously fiddle with. "Alex, relax." Dylan says, an amused smile playing on his lips. "It's not like you're being thrown into a group of sharks," And I snort at his comparison.

"More like a pack of wolves." I mutter, causing Dylan to laugh lightly.

"The worst would probably be Max, he's Tyler's little brother. He's a little too honest sometimes." He says, and I groan. So I guess it runs in the family?

"Actually it doesn't." He says, and my eyes widen in horror as I realize I said that out loud. "He just picked it up from me. And Max and Tyler aren't related to me. They're my stepdads children." He continues, pulling into a driveway, where another very large house sits on the edge of a lake.

Where on earth do these people find so much money? I can barely find two quarters in my wallet let alone enough money to buy basically the whole lake.

"Alex, relax." Dylan says, suddenly grabbing me by the shoulders. And it's only then that I realize I was back to fiddling with my hands. "They'll love you." He says, before letting go and opening the door. I walk in, and he closes the door behind me. For a moment, it's silent. I almost think that no one lives here. Almost.
