Artemis' POV
The hours go by and as they do, the members of the pack gain confidence and gradually approach me as they try to get to know me. Everyone is friendly, even those who seem reluctant to my presence.
After a while most of them leave, but Ben stays by my side as a constant presence. I find that he is a nice guy who likes to talk your ear off but makes good friends with everyone.
Though by the end of the day I find myself exhausted, I also feel less tense than I did before.
"I see you're having a good time," Beck says as I feel his presence manifesting itself very close to me.
He stands a short distance away and I have to look up to meet his silver eyes. His lips are curved in an enigmatic smile.
"They've been very kind," I reply as close to the truth as I can manage, because indeed, they have.
"Especially Willow," Ben says as he stands up. "What are we having for dinner tonight?” he asks. “I'm starving.”
"It depends on what the cook has prepared," Beck says.
