Anastasia POV: 

 I finally made it into town. It was small and cute. I wandered around a while. Looking for the place called Al's diner where my mother and father told me to go in the letter they left me. I was exhausted. All my bones ached from shifting. I didn't eat for days before I shifted, A part of Alpha Richards punishment to me, so I was weak as it was and shifting took a lot of energy from me. I was tired. My eyes red from all the crying. I was dirty from sleeping in the forest.  After ,what seemed like hours and hours of walking,  I found Al's Diner. The building was quite big but not too big. It was a nice shade of baby blue and had a big sign in cherry red and writing in white saying ' Al's diner.'  I inhaled a deep breath and pushed the door open and entered. It was a 70's themed diner. Had booths with red leather, the floor was black and white tiled, stools at the counter baby blue and the walls were turquoise. They even had a jukebox. I don't know how long I was just standing there and just staring at the whole place but I snapped out of it when a girl who looked around my age approached me. "Hi my name is Angela but people call me Angie! Welcome to Al's diner, how may I help you ?" she said that sentence so fast and with ease. She was pretty. She had nice natural blonde hair, honey brown eyes, slightly tanned skin and red lips. She didn't have any make up on except for lipstick. She was really beautiful. "Umm C-can I speak to A-Al ?" I was nervous. I didn't know anything about this man. All I knew is that my parents wanted me to come here and tell a stranger everything that has happened. "Well he's on his lunch break at the moment but he should be back in roughly 10 minutes. You can wait for him if you want to ?" "Okay" I sad flatly. She guided me to a booth and handed me a menu. "Whenever you want to order just call me ok ?" she said with a small smile on her face. I nodded.  I started to think about what I was actually going to say to Al. 
Would he know who I am ?
Is he a human or werewolf ?
If he's human, does he know about werewolves ?
My palms were sweaty and I was becoming even more nervous and started to panic. I heard the bell above the door ring and I turned to see who it was. My heart stopped. Everything around me stopped. The most sexie- no. beautiful guy I have ever seen! He had thick dark brown hair, it looked so soft I just wanted to run my hands through it. He was muscular, well built but not too much. And his jawline, literally turned me on. Wait ? Is it weird to say that a jawline turned me on ? I don't care this guys jawline was hot. He had beautiful olive skin just like mine. But his eyes were the most capturing feature. Emerald green eyes. I felt weak in the knees just looking at them. I could just drown in those beautiful eyes of his. That's when It hit me. He was looking directly at me. I yelped and quickly turned around and hid my face in my hands. HOW STUPID OF ME!? He probably thinks I'm some weird freak! I was practically drooling over him! Wait ? I tapped my index finger to the edge of my lips. DROOL !? I ACTUALLY DID DROOL. Oh why me ?
I heard him leave after ordering something. "Hey Al's just came back if you still want to speak to him " The waitress Angie said cheery as ever. "Thank you, where should I go to speak to him ? " I asked. The nerves started to kick in again but even worse. "Follow me" she said still in a cheery voice. It annoyed me yet there was something about her that mad me like her. She was just...nice. I followed her she took me into the kitchen. "He's just in here" she spoke. Then she left. "Just hold on a sec! I'll be with you in a second." I heard a man say.I walked towards where I heard the voice. I found him but his back was turned. He was washing dishes that's why. He was quite tubby but not fat. He turned of the tap and grabbed a dry towel and started to dry a pan. Here it goes. I cleared my throat to get his attention. He started to turn around. "Oh sorry I forgot, How can I hel-" He dropped the pan he was drying, his eyes widened and his jaw hung open. "Oh my god." was all he said. Did he know me ? Or does he think I'm a rogue ? I tried to see if he had a human scent or a werewolf's but I couldn't tell. It was both. I slowly started to back away. That's when he finally spoke. " Oh no, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to startle you. It's just... you look so much like her.." Like who ? The only person I really look like is my mother. Olive skin, black silky hair with natural brown highlights. The only thing I got from my father was his eye colour. They're light brown but the edges are a very dark blue. "Esmé?" I whispered. That was my mothers name. Tears started to form in his eyes. I honestly have no idea what is happening. Did he know my mother ? "You must be Anastasia!" He said loudly and came and pulled me into a hug and squeezed me. Now I'm confused and creeped out. I shifted uncomfortably. Then he let go. "I'm sorry, It's just I haven't seen you since the day you were born! oh my have you grown into a beautiful young lady" He said smiling widely tears still filling in his eyes but never fell. "um- uh " I had no idea what to say. Then out of no where he just slapped his hand to his forhead. " OH IM SO STUPID!" he shouted. "My name is Albert but everyone knows me as Al for short. I was very good friends with your parents." He shook my hand as he spoke. "I'm so sorry for your loss." he said while one tear fell down his face. "How did you kno-" he cut me off. "Because you are here."  he said flatly. "Come with me. I know you have something things to say." I nodded and followed. Usually I wouldn't listen to just anyone. only my parents and the Alpha. This guy was a complete stranger to me and I was following him to god knows where. Only reason I am is because my parents told me to go to this man if they didn't survive. Tears started to fall at the thought of my parents and how they died. I wiped them away quickly as Al stopped at a room. It was small. Looked like the employee lounge. It had one big couch that would fit 4 people and 2  single chairs and a TV. "Come. Sit" he gestured to one of the single chairs and I sat down. I didn't know what to say. I just sat there and thought about how to explain everything. "Who did it ? his beta or Richard himself ?" He snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked at him. I could tell that he was hurt by the expression on his face. "H-his beta" I said shakily. He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. "Who are you ?" I spoke. It sounded rude but I'd like to know who exactly is this man and how he knew my parents and know's who I am. He looked up at me and straightened himself in his seat. "My name is Albert Lockwood. I am human, my mate is a werewolf like yourself. Me and your parents known eachother for years before you were born. After Alpha Richard's mate died and when he started to become crazy and abusive your parents decided that it was time for them to leave the pack and start a new life for you before you were born. But Alpha Richard found out about their plans and locked them up in cells. It was when your mother went into labor that he let them out so she could go hospital and your father could go with her. I recieved a call from your father that day telling me that you were born. Believe me I couldn't get there fast enough. Once me and my wife, Victoria, arrived your parents asked if we could be your godparents. Obviously we accepted but Alpha Richard didn't want anyone from any other pack to be in contact with your parents. So he banned us from ever stepping foot on his land. 12 years later on your 12th birthday I recieved a letter from your parents, first time I've heard from them since the day you were born, The letter explained to me that they were planning to escape and that they had saved up some money to escape but need somewhere to stay and they asked Victoria to ask the Alpha of her pack if they could stay on this land. Our Alpha knew the situation and accepted the request. But they wanted to wait till you were 17 so you would've already shifted at 16 and be skilled enough to run with them and defend yourself by 17. I know your birthday was 2 months ago and I've been waiting for them and you to arrive since." I just sat there. quietly. He got up and hugged me. I didn't hug him back I just sat there. Then he crouched down in front of me and spoke. "I am going to be your guardian from now on. I made a promise to your parents that I'd take care of you if anything were to happen to them and I will upheld that promise." He looked right into my eyes. He had cobalt blue eyes, he had a an expression on his face that showed that he was downright serious. I nodded then hugged him. "Thank you" I whispered. He hugged me back. A woman entered the room. She was beautiful. She had dark brown hair in nice curls. Honey brown eyes and red lips and slightly tanned skin. Amazing figure. She didn't look a day over 20. She had bags of what I assume were groceries. When she saw me she dropped them instantly. "Oh my!" She had a worried/pained expression on her face like Al had when he saw me. She turned to Al. "They didn't make it honey." He said softly. So I'm guessing this is his mate Victoria. She covered her mouth with her hands as she gasped and tears slid down her face. She looked back at me. "Anastasia.." she whispered and then walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. Ok I really didn't like all this hugging. She cupped my face in her hands. "I'm so dearly sorry about your parents sweety." I couldn't help but let a tear slide down my face. "Thank you" I whispered. "I told her everything already" Al said as he placed a hand on Victoria's shoulder. she turned to him and he hugged her as she cried. "I can't believe they didn't m-make it" she said as she cried in his arms.  "I know honey I know" he said softly as he stroked her hair. She pulled out of his hug and spoke. "We must go take her to Alpha Nate. He would want to meet her. Al nodded. "Come with us, We need to introduce you to our Alph- Well old Alpha, he's just recently stepped down as Alpha and passed the title to his son Aiden." Victoria said in a happy tone. "We must also inform him about your parents as he was also good friends with them" Al said to Victoria. I began to feel nervous again. I didn't like meeting new people. And an Alpha!? I was terrified. My emotions must've shown on my face because Al rubbed my arm up and down. "Don't worry kid, he won't do anything to hurt you, I promise."  He said reassuringly. It calmed my nerves and we got up and went to his car. We all entered and he started the engine and then we started to move. I sat at the back and drifted into my own thoughts. Mainly about my parents. As I was still trying to let it sink in that they were actually gone and i'm alone. I know I now have Al and Victoria but they are still strangers to me. I have an older brother who I barely remember. He ran away when I turned 1. Me and my parents never heard from him since. My parents tried to search for him but Alpha Richard didn't allow it. And when they still did go to search he locked them up in cells. He locked me in a room and didn't feed me for days as a punishment for my parents. Today has been a very long day. I closed my eyes and slowly drifted to sleep. i know next time I wake up the day is going to feel even longer when I meet their Alpha, well old Alpha.
