Meeting An Alpha

chapter 6 - Learn our kind

I was woken by a knock on the door. It sounded urgent. Putting on a robe I walked towards the door and opened it.

"We have to get you out of here." Nathan rushed in.

"What why?"

"Lucius is in town."

"And?"

"There is rumors going around he paired up with the witches. They would sense you. He would want you."

"Look I am a big..."

"I will not argue with Lea. Go get your stuff." I could see the anger boiling inside of him.

"Okay! Where are we going?"

"The pack house."

"I thought you said they would kill me."

"I would rip all their heads off, if it meant I can protect you." He grabbed my arm softly.

"Okay." I breathed out.

When we got to the pack house there was a lot of stares and growls heading my way. Some moved closer but no one dares to harm the Alpha's guest. At least not yet.

Nathan lead me into a big bedroom. He told me to freshen up and come to dinner. When he left I studied the room. It was filled with paintings. They looked beautiful but I didn't recognized the painter. Very classy room. I could get use to this. After freshening up I headed down stairs. When I arrived at the table I earned a lot of growls.

"Family, she is my guest, therefore you will respect her. If not I will rip your head of your body." Nathan spoke up and everybody quieted down.

I took a seat next to him. Somehow I felt safe next to him. The whole dining table was filled with food. I was starving.

The rest of the day went by fast. I met a couple of the pack members. I met Nathans Beta, Delta and a few Omega's working in the house. Nathan took me to meet the Shaman but she wasn't there. Probably out to get some herbs. I also meat someone they called Pi, apparently this is the packs therapist. They seemed to be less tense around me. Somehow I was thankful for that. I spoke to the Pi and he advised me on how to better fit into the pack. I wasn't sure on staying, but I might as well make myself comfortable here for the time being.

When nightfall came I headed to my room, only to find Nathan in it. He was only wearing a pair of boxers.

"What are you doing here?"

"This is my room." He shrugged.

"Then why am I here?"

"I sure as hell ain't leaving you out of my sight."

"And I sure as hell ain't sleeping next to you."

"Chill princesses, I will be taking the couch." He walked over to the couch. I hadn't notice the blanket and pillow on it. "For now" he winked as he lied on his back on the couch.

"Tomorrow we will start your training."

"Training as in fighting?"

"Training as in killing."

" I would love to find out how to kill you!" I chuckled. I could see a smile forming on his lips.

"You will not only find out how to kill a werewolf beautiful. You will also know how to kill a witch, vampire, and more. Even a Lycan."

"What's a Lycan?"

"It's like a werewolf. Just a lot stronger. I will explain tomorrow beautiful. "

I rested my head against the pillow.

"Goodnight Nathan."

"Goodnight Lea."

"Catch sweetheart!" This was Lou, he was one of the elders who agreed to train me. He was throwing a small gun at me.

"What am I to do with this."

"There are a lot of ways to kill a werewolf. A silver bullet to the heart is the easiest."

"What's the hardest way?"

"Depends if the wolf was born or cursed. If born the bullet. When in wolf form you can chop of a limb to revert the back to human and kill him like a normal human. Wolfsbane can also weaken a werewolf.

If cursed you can kneel in one spot for a hundred years than you will be transformed back into a human. You can also be called three times on you Baptist name while being struck three times on the forehead with a knife.

Some say a sword that is blessed on the altar of a chapel dedicated to Saint Hubert can kill a werewolf as well, but I think that's a rumor the humans created."

"You can be cursed into a werewolf?"

"Yes if you anger some of the elder witches they will curse you, or drinking the water of the tracks where a werewolf stepped. There is also a stream that flows. It has this whole chanting thing involved and drinking from the stream. There is a flower you can eat to become a wolf and my personal favorite a werewolf bite."

"I didn't know that."

"There's a lot you must learn from your kind little bird. But now you must learn to shoot. "

After a couple of rounds practicing and Lou teaching me hand to hand combat, Nathan walked in.

"Are you guys done yet?"

"I think that's enough for today." Lou said picking up a bottle of water.

"Come on beautiful, I have someone I want you to meet." Nathan grabbed my hand and let my out.

We entered his study where a elderly woman was standing. I am guessing it was Nathans mom by the golden eyes she had.

"Lea, this is my mom and the old Luna of this pack. I want you to learn from her because you never had a pack and don't know the duties of a Luna."

"Hi Mrs Williams." I extended my hand.

"A Luna never greets first. It respectful for a pack member to greet first." She said bluntly.

"Oh sorry." I looked down.

"Never look down. You second to the Alpha, you don't bow your head to anybody."

I looked up at her, furrowing my brows.

"I will leave you two to it then." Nathan started to retreat. "I'll see you tonight beautiful."

"She hates me!" I said throwing myself on the bed.

"She doesn't hate you. She was a woman of authority, she doesn't take it kindly teaching a vagabond."

"What did you call me?"

"Vagabond. In other words a lone wolf."

"Ohhh"

"Yes beautiful." Nathan was now starting to take off his shirt. I was mesmerized by his abs.

"I will never fit in." I pulled the pillow over my face.

"Of course you will. I will arrange that books of our kind be sent up here, so that you can study and learn to be one of us."

"Thank you" I smiled up at him.
