Broken & Rejected (Werewolf Romance)

11.

I was currently sat in a room with Sophie, Rebecca, Gayle and a few other female members of Kieran's pack. We were discussing the decorations, food and music for the big event coming up. I am nervous as I won't know anyone else from any other packs. I would feel more relaxed if my parents, cousin Scotty and best friend Natalie could make it. Kieran was lucky at this moment in time, he was currently training with some members of his pack outside. It made me curious as to what they did here for training, back at the old pack, we didn't do much training.

"I'm going to get some more refreshments since we seem to have run out" Gayle said bringing me out of my train of thoughts

"Need some help ?" I asked, maybe a little too eager

"Your meant to be here planning this with us" Sophie chipped in

"I won't be that long, just a quick little break to help, how much longer can we go without some water and snacks ?" I asked

"Good point but maybe Rebecca could help out her aunt" Sophie answered

"Sophie let the poor girl have a quick break, the plans will still be here when we come back and we can jump back in" Gayle pointed out

I was so grateful that Gayle decided to jump in and come to my rescue. I guess she could see how much I really needed a break. Since Kieran decided to throw this ball / party it's all anyone and everyone has been talking about non stop. I haven't told anyone how I'm really feeling about this whole thing yet.

"Okay fine but don't be to long and come right back" Sophie said pointing her pen at us.

Gayle promised her we wouldn't be too long and we left the room. We walked to the kitchen in silence and I got lost so deep in my thoughts again.

"Penny for your thoughts" Gayle said

"It's nothing" I said trying to brush it off

"It's all this party talk isn't it" Gayle quizzed on

"Kind of, I mean since it was suggested it's all everyone seems to be talking about and I'm just at my limit with it, yes I know it's in my name and I'm so grateful but I also have other feelings too" I began to explain.

We reached the kitchen, Gayle walked us over to the large table and pulled out a chair then motioned to the one next to it for me to sit next to her.

"You can talk to me, it's okay I won't tell anyone anything. I will just listen" Gayle said

I moved from where I was standing and to the vacant seat next to Gayle.

"It's just that no one has asked how I'm feeling about this whole thing. I'm so nervous and scared as I won't know anyone from the other packs. I'll only know a few people from this pack, my parents if they attend, my cousin and best friend if they can make it" I began to explain

"You've just moved to a new pack, your still getting to know people here and making friends, maybe try and interact with more people here. Have you told Kieran how your feeling ?" Gayle asked

"Not like this I haven't, I don't want to upset him or anything" I explained

"Kieran is a very understanding person, you need to talk to him. Maybe he can arrange for you to meet some of the other pack members" Gayle suggested

I nodded talking her wise words into consideration. We soon got to work getting the refreshments ready. Gayle used a trolley and put some pitchers of fresh cold water on it and some plates with some light snacks. There wasn't a lot of room on the trolley for everything so I offered to carry a few small plates. On our way back to the meeting room, which was basically Kieran's very spacious office, I noticed my lace had come undone. I stopped and put the plates down so I could tie my lace back up.
