I kept my head down and didn't look at any of them. This was their territory after all.
"You can put your head up child." I heard the very calm female voice come from to my left. I cocked my head to the side and looked up into bright hazel eyes. I tipped my head to the side to show her my submission but kept eye contact.
"Uhm this is Dove, Marie? Do you know Dove?" Axton was very confused.
"No, but I'm sure we will get to know each other soon!" She smiled happily. She was over all a very inviting person with that 'bow down' alpha vibe to her.
Axton led me a seat between him and Marie. I was still very submissive to her even though my wolf didn't want to. I was incredibly strong and fast in my wolf form, I preferred wolf form because my senses were extremely heightened and I was just...better.
"Hello, I'm Igor, Axton's father." The man who asked who I was said while shaking my hand across the table. I gave him a small smile and a nod. He was about as tall as Axton, with graying brown hair and grey eyes.
"I'm Xander, Axton's totally hot older brother," a guy told me from the other side of Axton taking my hand and kissing it. He wad long dark brown hair slipping down into his eyes. The same green eyes as his mother. He looked a bit taller than Axton but I couldn't be sure. Axton scowled at him and separated his face from my hand. Xander smirked and winked at me.
"I'm Alicia, the youngest Maron." Said a girl across from Xander. She looked short and slender with her mothers black hair and green eyes. She was absolutely gorgeous. "I love your hair by the way. It's lovely," I hope I can get to know her better.
"These are my boys, Ron, Axel, Mike, Lucas and Zenith. Those girls over there are their mates Marianna, Courtney, Kat, Raina and Mona." Marie said pointing to each of her pack members individually. It was a great idea for them to move to England where they could use the word mate freely. I gave each if them a nod which they each returned except for the ladies who all beamed at me. I've felt more ah home in this place for ten minutes than I ever did back in the states.
"Okay, who's ready to eat?" Esmerelda asked not even fazed by our strange greeting. We ate in silence for a while, you could tell they wanted to ask about me but I still decided I won't try talking yet.
I was, however, able to communicate to Marie. I was in her territory after all so she had access to my mind link. She asked all sorts of things about me while the pack listened in on our mental conversation. I tried to avoid my family situation, I really did but I slipped up and ended up telling, er, thinking to them about it. Courtney gasped and reached across the table to hug me. It was in the middle of nowhere and totally uncalled for, needless to say the Marons were confused.
"Don't worry about her, she's just very affectionate," Marie told them like it was nothing.
"Well well well, what do we have here?" I heard a deep voice ask from behind me. It made my skin crawl and I wanted to cover my ears.
"Hello Angus," I heard Esmerelda's flat reply. I tried to turn around to see this Angus guy but Axton pulled my seat closer to his to block my view and furiously shook his head.
"Who is this beautiful young woman that has joined us tonight?" He asked, closer this time. Ugh.
"This is Dove. Now Angus, almost all of us know you won't be eating anything so what have you come down here for?" Igor snapped raising his eyebrows at Angus. Why was he here if nobody liked him?
"Well I don't know, I'm kind of hungry now. There's one thing that i'd like to eat but I don't think I can have it just yet." I felt him touch the top of my head. I shrank down in my chair. Axton put his arm around my shoulder and I realized how cold I had gotten. "Awe come on Ax, you gotta share sometimes!" He boomed before forcefully pulling my chin up to look at him. I felt and heard the crack in my neck but I was too caught up staring into his face.
His skin was almost grey, liking very pale against his dirty blonde hair. He had bright red eyes with tiny pupils darker than midnight in the middle of his fat face. He smiled and showed off his incredibly sharp teeth.
I finally snapped out of it and let out a tiny whimper as I leaned into Axton, getting my hair out of Angus' grubby fingers. I honestly would have gone to Marie instead of Axton since I knew she was a very capable fighter but Angus stood in the way. And I felt safe with Axton for some reason, I had a theory.
"THAT'S ENOUGH ANGUS!" Axton boomed from above me. I felt it vibrate through him and if I wasn't so scared it would be sexy. Stop this, he is basically a stranger.
Angus winked before calmly striding out of the room. I looked up at Axton, my head was almost in his lap by now. He glanced down at me with very dark eyes and let out a huff. I sat back up, still shaking from the encounter with that thing. I knew he wasn't human.
"I'm so sorry about that Dove! He really doesn't interact with us much. I'm not even sure why we let him stay here anymore to be honest." Esmerelda gushed coming over to me. Marie was now pulling me up and leading me out of the room with all the werewolf ladies behind her.
'What is he? He wasn't human. He's either a cannibal or zombie of some sort' I asked her through the link. I had always been into strange things, including other supernaturals. She stiffened next to me and glanced down at me.
"Zombie," she said out loud.
-:-:-:
Just so you know, in my story zombies don't bite humans and turn them into other zombies. They are people who try to gain immortality by eating the flesh of supernaturals and humans, turning their skin grey, their eyes red and their teeth tend to sharpen. You can only become a zombie by first becoming a cannibal.
