The Alpha Female

Chapter 4

Note:This chapter takes place after Nora was found in the forest by Elysia.

3 years later

Nora was laying on her bed, when Angela barged into her room.

"Nora, the Alpha of the North American pack is coming." She whined flopping on the bed dramatically.
"So?"
"So...his son is drop-dead gorgeous." Angela said with a sigh.
"So?"
"Are you even listening?"
"Not really"
"God! I don't know what's wrong with you?" She said glaring at Nora.

Nora had been in the Boston pack for 3 years. She hadn't even known she was a werewolf; hadn't known how she'd arrived here. She had to admit , the pack members had grown on her. They'd been wary of her at first, as all wolves must be when sporting strays. Afterwards, they welcomed her and taught her a lot.

She stayed at the Alpha's house with children. Brandon the Alpha's son and soon to be Alpha. They were roughly about the same age. Cody his second son, Angela his first daughter and Elysia his last child. Aldrich was the Alpha and Nina was his mate, the Luna. They all treated her like family.

"You barely even pay attention to me." Angela's words brought her out of her thoughts.
"I do."
"No,you don't. You're so bossy."
"I am not."
"Are too. You're almost like an Alpha. You're just missing transition." Angela said chuckling.
"Okay enough. What time are they coming?"
"They are coming for dinner. So wear something formal."
"Fine. Angela?"
"Yeah?" She looked as Nora expectantly.
"Your time's up. Get out."

She had never met the Alpha of another pack, only members never the Alpha. She looked forward to it. The day passed by in a blur and by 6pm Nora started getting ready for dinner. She showered and called Angela to come and do her hair.

"I love your hair." Angela said brushing her hair. Her hair had somewhat changed. It was now streaked with golden highlights.

Angela styled her hair and waited for her to get dressed. She wore a sleeves black and yellow striped gown that hugged her curves and wedge sandals. As she came out of her room, she caught a familiar scent. One she didn't think she'd smell again. She remembered vaguely who it belonged to. She was almost down the stairs when her eyes landed on someone. As if aware of her gaze the person turned. Nora's breath hitched. He looked like he just stepped out of GQ in a black suit and white shirt. Jacobi looked as handsome as ever as she felt his eyes on her. She looked into his and she almost gasped at the intensity of the look directed at her. She was whisked away before she could utter a word.

Angela tugged her to the kitchen to help with the food and she left him standing there. When she arrived back at the table she found him talking to who she assumed was his mother, a woman in her early forties. She was beautiful with sandy brown hair and blue eyes. While the man, Jacobi looked so much like him. They had the same facial structure but with different eyes his being nearly black. She could sense the Alpha in the man just like she could sense it in Aldrich.

She was serving them when a hand clamped down on her and she felt sparks run through her body. Only one man could ignite sparks with just a touch. She turned to look at him and he was giving her a questioning look. As if to say 'what are you doing here?' She felt the whole table go silent. She could feel all eyes on hers and she flushed, tugging her hand out of his, she took her seat opposite him.

'Just great they were positioned opposite each other '  she thought.

The introductions were made round the table and conversation started. She could feel his eyes on her throughout. Suddenly a chair scraped the floor and she looked up to see Jacobi standing. Boy, he was taller and had a dark aura surrounding him. She hadn't noticed it before,but hey its been 3 years since they'd last seen each other.
