I gulped loudly when my suspicions were confirmed. He eats people.
'Relax hun, we won't let him hurt you okay? You are part of my pack now. I also would like to warn you that I will likely mother you to death since yours was so awful I think you deserve to see what a quality one is like' she thought to me with a smile on her beautiful face. I started crying and hugged her. I had known this woman for about an hour and I was already family. That's wolves for you.
'Yes, yes please. I accept your invitation to your pack,' I thought and felt my wolf shiver as she became a part of the group. After everybody brought me upstairs the non werewolves left and I was free to hang out with the females of my pack. The guys came upstairs soon after probably sensing me joining the pack.
"Luna," Ron said with a wink while he bowed to me.
That's right, I would be the next Luna of this pack. Well this is what was left of the Nebraska pack, they had once been much larger but a fire destroyed their home and took many lives. In their vulnerable state they were attacked by another small pack in Nebraska. They were defeated and ran off to London to try and start over. The werewolves had been chased out of England centuries ago so there were very few packs here.
"Who wants to go for a run?" Marie suddenly shouted. Everybody shouted out some sort of yes and we all left. We passed Igor on the way out but he didn't even ask us where we were going just told us to be careful and then walked off.
There was heavy woods surrounding the house and we walked towards it. We all gathered in a circle and everybody started stripping. Except me. Because they all had matching black skin tight suits on under their clothes while I just had some underwear.
'Uh Marie?' I questioned. She turned to me then facepalmed herself.
"Sorry sweetie! Forgot you didn't have a suit! Here use this one!" She tossed me one that she seemed to have pulled out of nowhere. I walked behind a tree and changed into it. "It morphs with you when you shift. Nifty huh?" She asked as I walked back into the circle. I nodded.
Ron and Mona shifted first. Their wolves both matched their brown hair and brown eyes, Mona being slightly smaller and a lighter color than her mate.
Courtney and Axel shifted next. Courtney's wolf was white, close to her naturally bright blond hair. Axel's was more of a grey color even though his hair was the same color as Mona's.
Then it was Lucas and Raina. Raina matched her hair with black hair but one of her eyes turned from blue to green when she shifted she looked awesome. Lucas' wolf was interesting. It was mostly brown like his hair but he a single white paw.
Then it was Kat and Mike. Kat's wolf was a deep chocolate brown and Mike's was blonde with grey tips on his back.
Then Marianna and Xenith. Marianna was almost an orange color, closer to brown but she was beautiful none the less. Xenith was stoic and all black.
Marie shifted next to me, it was customary for the Alphas to shift last so they could make sure everything went alright and so everybody would pay attention to them, it was a pride thing I guess.
I totally zoned out until I felt Marie nose my leg. I looked down and smirked at her butter blonde wolf with a black leg. Alphas usually had some sort of large marking whether it was legs that were a totally different color from the rest of them or stripes or speckles.
I realized that they wanted me to shift, I was an alpha after all now. I closed my eyes and shifted. My wolf was blood red like my hair with a dark black line running all the way from the tip of my nose to the end of my tail. I was also larger and stronger than the average shewolf. That's what my wolf told me anyway, these were the first other werewolves I've met.
Everybody stared at me with pride and then started wagging their tails. They started a quiet howl, it would have been louder but we didn't want to notify anybody around that we were here, I joined in on the howl.
Then we took off. I hadn't ran in quite a while so I was happy to feel the earth on my paws even if it wasn't familiar. We ran for about an hour before we had run all around the entire forest and got back to where we started. Everybody rubbed up against each other in excitement. We jumped around and played like children for a bit even Marie joined in. We eventually stopped when it started to drizzle. It was getting late anyway. Who knew what was out there in the dark lurking?
We shifted back and got dressed. It had really started to rain now so we ran back to the house where I could see a certain tall person inside waiting for us.
"There you are! Why do you all smell like wet dog?" He asked. Everybody started laughing but I just winked at him and walked past him up to the stairs. I took a long hot shower and got into one of my silky little nightdresses. I may not try very hard but I liked wearing sexy things sometimes.
I strained my hearing and heard somebody outside of my door simply breathing. I walked over to the door and opened it. Axton looked shocked that I opened the door and I just raised my eyebrows and tapped my foot silently asking if he needed anything.
He looked me up and down, his eyes darkening slightly, oh boys and their hormones, I mentally sighed. "I-uh-er, I'm going to just go now," he stuttered before spinning around and going into the door across the hall. So that was his bedroom eh?
I ran back and flopped down on the bed. I let out a large breath and closed my eyes. I smiled really big as I thought of the mostly good events of today. I grabbed my phone and decided to risk texting Joseph.
Hey
I waited about a minute before he replied.
HEY!? You just up and leave in the middle of the night without telling me and you say hey!?
I could almost hear him yelling. He rarely yelled.
I'm sorry! I had to get out. He, went too far. I'm safe now though, I'll text you in the morning more okay?
Yeah, okay fine. Goodnight Dove.
I plugged my phone in and set it on the bedside table. I crawled under the covers and curled up into the tiniest ball I could manage closing my eyes from the darkness that was pushing down on them.
