Chapter 2 - Chapter Two

She couldn't help but stare and the captivating silver orbs did not shy away either. It felt like it was slowly drawing her in and she had no defense against it. The old her would have turned away immediately but for some reason, she couldn't. Rather than turn away, she smiled back, trying to be nice but was met with a cold stare. There he sat on the roof near the chimney of a building on the right side of the pack house. His gaze changed from that of appreciation and curiosity to a mixture of surprise and was that disgust she saw?

She had seen that gaze many times to recognize it anywhere and on any face. She felt crushed, having thought she was immune to such a stare after having received it so many times. It turns out that for some reason the man who owned those beautiful eyes had somehow reminded her of everything she had been trying to ignore.

Returning her attention to her family and the man who had just emerged from the pack house. He was a tall man like most werewolves but one could make out that there was an air of authority around him. He had blonde hair, square jaws, and large shoulders, he looked formidable and no one needed to tell Lina that he was the Alpha.

He approached them with a man beside him who the family had assumed was his beta. They were both attractive men and Lina couldn't help swooning inside, she was too shy to show that. She had never been free around men especially when she always thought they would be looking at anything but her.

The Alpha's face softened as he finally stood in front of them. Extending his hand, 'It's nice to have you and your family here, I trust you had a smooth journey?' the alpha said. His smile was soothing and one could almost forget his menacing presence when approaching them a few seconds ago.

Emma Roberts has always been a social woman the very opposite of her daughter, Lina but the same as her son, Jeremy. She smiled as she took his hand in both of hers ' Yes, Alpha Morgan, it was a long but pleasant ride. You have quite an impressive pack land and your pack house is state-of-the-art' Removing her hands from his she beamed staring at the mansion before them like she still couldn't take it all in. ' I would like to introduce my children, Lina and Jeremy, we are honored to have you welcome us yourself' my mom quickly introduced us as we exchanged pleasantries.

'I must admit my curiosity got the better of me and I had to see for myself. We have never had a non-shifter in the pack, your children smell like wolves. We will do our best to ensure you are welcomed into the pack and settled in with no problems.' Gesturing to the male beside him he continued 'This is my second beta, Brian, he will lead you to your accommodation and ensure you do not encounter any issues settling in' with a quick nod he proceeded past them leaving his beta to attend to their latest pack members.

Lina had to turn and watch the retreating alpha, how had he managed to go from menacing to welcoming and back to menacing in a few minutes? A voice snapped her back to the conversation at hand and she turned back to find Brian looking at her as he briefed her mother and brother on some pack rules. Brian's look was not judging, she was sure he had gotten used to women pining over the Alpha.

She had missed some of the rules but she hoped it was nothing she couldn't ask her brother later. They walk to their quarters and were informed that their luggage would arrive at their quarters after them. They reached their accommodations not long after, it was not so far from the pack house. 'We will be having a pack dinner to officially welcome you into the pack' Brian stated, looking at Lina he added 'wear something nice, first impressions always matter' he left right after that.
