Taylah's POV

After I had finished unpacking all of my belongings in my new room, I smiled softly.

I loved my new room.

All the walls were painted a cream color except for one wall, which was painted a light lilac color. My king sized bed was covered in silky silver sheets that I absolutely loved already. I had a large desk opposite my bed with a spinning chair and a laptop. My room also had a large window that gave me a beautiful view of the forest. The window had silver curtains draping down the sides and a small stool right beside.

Sadly I didn't get my own bathroom meaning I had to share a bathroom with Beta Ryder's mate. I didn't mind all that much though since she sounds like a lovely and person and being here in this pack house is enough to ask for.

I unpacked the many books from one of my bags and placed them, in height order, on the shelf beside my desk.

Humming a tune softly, I finished stacking my books on the shelf. I took a step back to admire my work and smiled proudly once I saw how neat my shelf was.

Now to some people, the order of the bookshelf means absolutely nothing but to me, my books were my babies. They need to look tidy and organised otherwise I'll probably cringe every time I see them.

I decided to go downstairs and get something to eat because I was hungry, no surprise there.

Walking down the spiral stairs, my eyes wandered to the gorgeous portraits hanging on the wall. I guess this pack had a tradition to frame a painted portrait of every previous Alpha they had. All Alphas had their portrait framed with a gold plate with the years they ruled engraved. They looked so realistic! I trailed my eyes further down to find the most recent Alpha's. My mate.

He looked exactly like he did face to face. I couldn't get over how realistic the portrait actually looked. The fine details were so precise, right down to the golden flecks in his eyes.

Smiling softly, I traced my finger down the painting.

"Gorgeous, isn't it?"

I spun around so quickly, I swear I heard my neck crack. Standing at the top of the stairs stood a gorgeous girl. She looked to be a few years older than me. She had beautiful platinum hair that fell in nice waves, reaching her waist. Her skin was so pale, her hair almost blended in. Her golden eyes were round and had a sparkle of happiness. My eyes trailed down her face where I noticed a prominent mark at the base of her neck. I noticed that she was very small and petite, standing at around 5'2 she was also very skinny.

The girl started to slowly walk down the stairs, to where I was standing.

"I'm Eden, Beta Ryder's mate," she introduced, smiling softly.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Taylah, uh, I'm new here," I replied, outstretching my hand.

She looked down at my hand and let out a soft chuckle. She took a step closer to me before throwing her arms around my neck.

"It is so lovely to meet you, Taylah!"

I wrapped my arms around her tiny waist. I smiled gently before pulling back from the hug and gazing into her gorgeous eyes.

"It's great to meet you too," I replied softly.

And I meant it.

"I see you were walking down to the kitchen, would you like to go down to get something to eat?" She asked, cocking her head to the side.

I nodded slightly, a blush coming to my face.

She is so nice. I wonder if that's how everyone in this packhouse is.
