The Lost Mate

Meeting The Pack

When we walked outside of the house I could see a giant crowd forming in front of me down next to the house. Actually now that I realize and actually look it was no house but a giant mansion.

It had a Greek feeling with 6 huge columns spread out to hold the structure up. I could see many different windows all decorated with different colors and fabrics.

When my dad noticed me looking he laughed and looked back.

"This is the pack house. Quite a few  members live here but your allowed to move out into your own home if you choose to. The current Alpha and his family always stay here."

I nodded and continued towards the ever growing group. Slowly but surely nerves started to settle in my gut. I was meeting others like myself. What if they didn't like me? Does that mean I can't live here? Would I have to pass some kind of test? All these questions went through my head as my dad lead me to a stage of some sorts. We climbed the stairs and he released me to step forward, and address the waiting people.

"Thank you for coming on such short notice! I know that we are all busy but I have some very exciting news!" his voice boomed across the clearing making everyone snap to attention.

"You all know I have been searching for my daughter. Well it seems that the moon goddess has smiled upon me because have I not only found her but she technically came to me." I heard many people cheer and laugh at his joke.

"I would like to introduce you all to Stormy, my daughter!"

I stepped forward and held my hand up in an awkward wave. "Hello everyone, nice to meet you."

The people cheered and started jumping up and down calling out my name. I was so overwhelmed by the positive nature of everyone only a giant grin escaped from my lips.

"Quiet down you dont wanna scare her off now do you??" my dad jokingly shouted out.

They soon began to quiet doin when a tan slim arm shot up in the air shouting "Alpha! Alpha!!"

The arm belonged to a very beautiful girl that looked to be about my age. She had long golden brown hair that flowed around her slim yet toned body. Her eyes were a pale blue almost like the sky on a rainy day. She had an even tan all over her body but it looked very natural. Her legs were clad in a tight pair of jeans and it was paired with a form fitting shirt showing off her slim figure.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when her question entered my head.

"Now that she is here who will be Alpha? Her or Skylar?" Her nasal voice spoke out. The way she emphasised she and her I could tell I didn't have a fan right here.

My dad cleared his throat and looked out to the crowd.

"She will go through training like everyone else but we have not made a decision on the Alpha position as of yet. I will wait for Skylar to return and we will all have a discussion. You will all be informed shortly after."

He barely finished before the girl spoke up yet again.

"But this isn't fair! She is new here and shouldnt just get the position handed to her! She could be weak for all we know! She doesn't deserve to be Alpha!"

A loud growl swept through the clearing shutting everyone up. Surprisingly it came from me. I took a step forward and raised my chin.

"I am not weak! I may have just gotten here but I will earn my place in this pack like everyone else! I'm not asking for anything to be given to me! Now I suggest you leave this matter to your Alpha and he will take care of it like he said in case you weren't listening before!"

I snapped my mouth closed in shock. I've never spoken out like that before! What has gotten into me?! I took a step back and looked at the people. Many wore shocked faces but soon they turned into grins.

People shouted out, yelling yea and cheering my name yet again. I looked at my dad and he grinned down at me.

"That's my girl!!!" he said proudly and hugged me to his chest.

"This meeting is over, you may all go back to your previous business." my dad said to the crowd.

I saw the girl who had spoken out toss me one dirty look and storm off down a path. When me and my dad steeped off the stage I was soon tossed into round  after round of introductions. People congratulated me on joining the pack and sticking up for myself against April which apparently was the girl who insulted me.

After what seemed like hours everyone had finally left and my dad wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"Its a lot of people but you'll soon figure out the names. If not just ask nicely and everyone will understand. I want you to feel safe here Stormy. I lost you once. I dont want to again."

He looked down at me and I could only wrap him up in a hug.

"Thank you. I'm sure I'll learn their names....eventually."

We both laughed and headed down a worn path. I followed behind him and took in my surroundings. I could see small cottages and people walking around doing chores or just talking and having a good time. They waved and smiled at us then continued their work. My dad came to a stop and I looked at the area before us.

There were suspended punching bags lined up on a steel beams. Blue mats were lain all over the ground with pairs of people brawling on them. An open area had a corded section and I could see people inside fighting with different types of weapons. I was assuming these were the training grounds and was soon confirmed when my dad told me just that.

"Reagan!!! Come here please!" My dad yelled in the direction of a tall broad man.

When I saw him up close I couldn't help but admire his features. He had lovely brown eyes and his hair was shaggy and only a few shades darker than his eyes. He wore a pair of black basketball shorts that hung low on his hips. His chest was left bare for all to see and what a chest! He could have easily passed for a model except for a few scars here and there. He jogged up to us and bowed hid head.

"Hello Alpha. What can I do for you??"

"I want you to meet my daughter Stormy. Stormy this is my head trainer Reagan. He will be in charge of getting you into shape."

He smiled and bowed his head to me.

"Nice to meet you Stormy. Its an honor to help train the Alphas daughter." hid voice was deep and smooth as he replied.

I blushed and smiled back. "Nice to meet you too but I'm new to this and the honor might soon change to horror because I've never fought with anyone in my life." I admitted sheepishly.

He chuckled and shook his head.

"Well will turn you into a fighter dont worry your pretty little head."

My dad cleared his throat and gave Reagan a hard look. "Make sure she is properly introduced and knows what is to take place. She has only shifted once and might need help."

He turned to me and folded me into a hug.

"I have to go for now but Reagan will take good care of you. Come back to the house when your done and we can show you your room."

He walked back up the path and disappeared. I turned back to Reagan with a smile.

"Ok let's get started shall we?" he laughed and pulled me towards to on looking group.
