Laura and Alex exchanged glances as the pack started filtering in, she was leaning on the window sill, after shaking her head once Alex nodded significantly at her. Laura's eyes strayed back to the yard; the soft grass merging with the forest preserve, Alex sighed and settled down beside her, as far as he could without bordering on not being respectful of the distance.

"Ugh!" Ivory whined, "Whose bright idea was it to have a pack meeting at the crack of dawn?" she grumbled.

Tristan snorted, "No one invited you, anyway. You should be more like Cora and not be so curious, gate-crashing pack meetings—bad form!" he rolled his eyes.

"If you think Cora isn't a curious person, you seriously don't know your sister as well as you think", she huffed, "I'm human, she's got all the wolfy-ears here", she sighed as she sipped on some of the coffee Uncle Alex had provided.

"Your point being?" Tristan sighed.

"Ever read Harry Potter?" she snarked.

Talia cuffed them both around the head before Tristan could retort, "Enough. Be quiet", she hissed.

"Buuuuut Mooooom!!!!" they whined in unison.

James snorted, "Be quiet, do as your mother says, the Alpha has called this meeting", he warned, "Stop being disrespectful", he ordered.

"But Laura called this meet—ing..." Ivory trailed off and then whipped around to stare at her eldest sister, Tristan gaped beside her;

"WHAT?!!!" they yelped in unison.

"Surprise...?"

Ella sat up then, her tea cup easily and carefully set down, "And when did this happen?" she asked relatively calm.

Laura hummed, "As of last night", she answered honestly.

"And what are your plans?" she asked.

"Honestly, my first order of business begins with you", she answered seriously.

"Explain?" she swallowed eyes trained on Laura.

Laura finger-walked her the fingers of her right hand up and down the window sill, "I would like to appoint you as the Hale Family Emissary", she ordered, "As of today, if you would accept, by the next full moon the rite of passage will be ritualized", she stated simply.

"What?" Ivory gasped.

Tristan blinked owlishly.

"You said Family, not Pack", Ella noted.

"Seriously, that's what you're going to start with?!" Ivory yelled.

"What she said!! How the hell are you suddenly Alpha?!!!" Tristan all but squeaked.
