     Once everyone had taken their seats Landon walked Lina over to the center of the room, his lips pressing against her temples before turning his attention to his rowdy pack as they began to serve themselves their food but did not eat it until allowed to do so. Two plates were stacked tall with meat and other things for the Alpha and his new Luna for the Alphas always ate first and got choice of the best selection and then the pups followed by the chain of command to the very bottom, if there was ever anything left for the Omega's.

"Despite our early home coming and other troubles I am happy to see everyone else is safe and well. I'd like to introduce your new Luna, Zulina Arlo Renouf Former seer of the Greenleaf Pack." Landon smiled as he looked towards his mate as she smiled shyly but kept her head held high. Good... showing weakness to a group of strange wolves was the easiest way to get ripped apart. He knew Arlo was an Alpha female but Zulina's temperament was always a gentle one.

The dining hall erupted into hoots and howls welcoming their new Luna. Lina's smile didn't falter or fade as she leaned into Landon's gentle embrace She felt the heat go to her cheeks with embarrassment at all the attention which she wasn't use to. For a split moment Landon stepped away to address the rest of his pack.

"We've much planned for the next few months to come, This includes renovations to the main house, Peters I want a nursery built up on the third floor... We'll be needing one soon enough. " He turned his eyes towards Peters who nodded his head while taking a sip of his wine. "Perfect, Ladies... You know fall under Alpha Lina's command... do what she says... and protect her whenever she needs you... she's in a new land and since our attack there's reason to believe someone... or something is after the two of us." He sighed gently, instinctively drawing Lina closer to his form. She felt him nuzzle into him with a soft sigh and listened to the angry and protective growls from his pack. "Hunters know about us... keep a look out... the Rogues are also an increasing threat...Some may be potential pack mates under the wrong mutt's rule... enlighten them if you must... Kill if you have to... but the more that become part of the pack and kneel to me and Lina as King and Queen Alpha the better" Landon chuckled softly as he looked towards Lina one more time before leading her to her seat at the head of the table opposite him. He wouldn't like being so far away from her but they'd be able to glance longingly at one another.

Like a Gentlemen, Landon pulled the chair back for his soon to be Queen and kissed her cheek as she sat down. He glanced to the two wolves on either side of her, Brax and Naya were assigned to be her Direct protectors. Sure he secretly was plotting to get Brax and Naya together because he knew his feline friend pined for the old brooding wolf. They both gave him a soft smile then a nod before Naya turned her dazzling smile back to Lina and began to start a conversation with her about something they must of been talking about prior to their arrival.

Zulina drew in a slow breath as she watched the magnificent creature that was her mate walk back down to the other end of the long table to take a seat across from her. How far away she felt from him now... yet she could feel him through their shared bond.
