BRYAN'S POV

We arrive back at the house as Jonathan is leaving.

"She's in a guest room on the third floor." I hear Jonathan mumble before he shuts the door.

"Should we go check on her?" Jordan asks.

"No, last time we tried talking to her, she gave us the silent treatment. I don't think I can go through that again." Keith says with an undertone of depression.

"Same." I respond, remembering the horrible feeling that my wolf and I got. All we wanted was to please her, I mean she is our soon-to-be Luna. Eric (my wolf) literally was howling non-stop and then after awhile, he just stopped and went silent.

Everyone silently agrees so we just end up sitting on the couch, not really watching the tv. Until all of a sudden, I hear footsteps.

RILEY'S POV

As I walk down the hallway to get to the lounge room (which I assume the boys are in, since the TV is on), I start to get nervous.

Why am I nervous? What the heck? The only possible reason to my nervousness that I can come up with, would be because I don't want them to give me vague answers or laugh at my ridiculous questions. That's gotta be it; but I feel like there's something else as well. It might have to do with the fact that the last time I saw them, Jonathan/River was practically abusing me and I wasn't talking to them. :(

"Hey guys." I say as I wave nervously.

"Hey." Everyone responds.

"I'm sorry about earlier, I just...I couldn't.....I don't know...I just didn't feel like talking and I was mad at Jonathan and I took it out on y'all and......I'm sorry." I say meekly with my head hung in shame.

"You're good. I'm just glad you're talking to us now." Bryan responds. Everyone else agrees. Then we just sit in an uncomfortable silence for a moment as I try to think of how I want to approach the subject of these questions.

"So......what do you wanna do?" Kevin asks.

"Well.....I was kinda hoping you guys could help me out by explaining some things and answering some questions...." I say nervously.

"....if you don't mind, that is." I add on quickly, trying not to raise their tempers.

"Um, we'll do our best but some things it might be best if Jonathan answers them." Jordan responds.

"Okay....well then....umm...." I stutter.

"Ask us anything." Kevin says.

"Okay." I say before taking a deep calming breath.

"How exactly do the packs work? I've read some books about werewolves but their all different." I ask.

"Okay, well first you have the Alphas, they are the leaders. They are usually makes but there has been a few rare cases when there was a female as the Alpha. But that only happens when the female is the oldest and the Alpha believes his daughter would do a better job than his son or when the Alpha only has one child, a girl. Oh, and the female must not have found their mate. Either way though, the Alpha is the leader. Then you have the Luna. She is the Alpha's mate. She is like the mother of the pack, she adds peace and serenity to the pack. She also helps with dealing with the Alpha. Just saying though, you have persuasion over the Alpha so you have a higher rank then him in certain areas." Kevin starts.

"Then comes the Beta. That's me. I'm the second-in-command. I take over the pack when the Alpha is gone or busy and I help him out when needed. Once I find my mate, she will become the Beta Female. She will basically be like you but in Beta form. She will help you out." Bryan says with a prideful tone and face.
