Sophia

As time passed I sat Marita down where she said her seat was, and people started showing up. I recognised some from eirler and I could tell they recognised me because they didn't give me the friendliest of faces. As every chair was slowly filling up, the table I was supposed to sit at wasnt. It was empty, no one dared to go near it. As the last person showed up Marita had already composed herself and looked at the table where I was supposed to sit and then back at me. She chuckled a little. " guess the beta is not coming" she said to herself

"And what dose that mean?" I asked her

She stood up and walked over to the alpha table with me in tow and the whole room went silent. Everyone intensely looking at me and Marita. I just tried to smile at as many people as I could showing I mean no harm. Some of them look like there ready to rip my head off. Marita started speaking in a loud voice letting everyone know to listen to her words, "welcome everyone, as you can clearly see we have a guest. A human guest, but not just any human, this human is my youngest sons mate" and with that there were whispers and gasps throughout the room, but Marita continued "since the alpha, and my youngest is out, and the beta will not be joining us, there for the highest rank gets to eat first and she has the highest rank at the moment" she said gesturing to me

I just couldn't keep it in " What?!" I basically yelled out loud releasing my arm and looking her in the face. I heard more whispers and some grawels throughout the tables. I looked around, I needed to say something, there is no way im going first. " this can't be true, I know he told me about the mate thing and I feel it, but I don't think I deserve to go first, maybe someone else should go, the best fighter, the elderly or something. Shirley there is someone else that could" I said out loud, the whole room went silent the growels and the whispers stoped

Marita looked at me, " no one has ever said that" she said

" oh" was all I could get out

Then one of the kids I gave the ball to, stood up in his seat " you should go first!" He screamed, his mother pulling and pushing him to sit down

I looked over to him and smiled, I know what I'm going to do. I walked over to the boy, everyone's eyes on me and determination on my face. I got to where he was sitting and knelt down to get on eye level with him. " how about we go eat together?" I held out my hand, and then looked to the mom and smiled " can he?" I asked

His mother was speachles but nodded yes, the boy grabbed my hand and walked with me over to the buffet table. I leaned down " my name is Sophia, what's yours?" I said handing him a plate and grabbing one for me

He looked up to me and smiled excitedly, " my name is Sam and I'm 7" he said taking th platform me

We walked though the buffet, filling our plate. I just grabbed small amounts of things that I liked. I didn't want to come across as a narcissist. (Self orientated, all about one self) I also made sure Sam had enough. Once we finished I walked him over to the table I was supposed to sit at, and had him sit right next to me. Everyone just watched silently as we sat down. I took a spoon full of some mashed potatoes and looked over to Sam, he was watching me. I put the spoon of mashed potatoes in my mouth ad then he started eating too. Then every one got up and lined up to get food. "So Sam what's your favorite thing to do here?" I asked him

He shoved a piece of chicken in his mouth and swallowed, " I like to play outside with my friends, but my favorite thing is when my uncle lets me ride on his back while he's a wolf" he then shoved  more food in his mouth

" I bet that's a lot of fun, becoming a wolf" I said

He looked up at me " yeah I can't do it yet mom said when I get older I can" he pouted and grabbed more food

I just slowly ate my food and looked around, I smiled to everyone that walked past, while Sam waved. I giggled every time he did, he was so cute. I always wish I'm going have a cutie kid like that. As I finished I looked over to Sam and he was done too. " where do we put our plates?" I asked

" over here" he got up and took my hand

I picked up my plate and his as he dragged me to this large basket with dirty dishes. I set our two dishes into the basket lightly and walked Sam back over to his mother. "Thank you so much" she said to me

" oh, no, I would be thanking him, I don't like to be in front of big crowds alone"  I smiled at them

"So, how long have you known about being Jasper mate?" She asked

" about an hour ago I found out" I laughed and so did she " but I still don't get it?" I told her

" don't worry, Jasper will explain it to you when he gets back" she waved it off

" ok, I hope so, because it seems this whole please is so confusing to me" I told her, and with that Marita walked over to me and linked our arms together

" it seems that Sophia here has already started making friends Marita said " but I will have to take her away from you all" Marita looked at me " please say goodbye to your friends" she asked me

I looked at Sam's mom and at Sam " I guess I  have to go, it was great meeting you, I hope we can see each other again" I smiled at the both of them

Sam hugged my leg and smiled up at me while his mother gave me a hug herself. " see you soon" she said while picking up Sam

Marita and I locked arms and walked out of the dining room with the guards back and protecting us " back to the room please boys" Marita said...
