Eliana's parents were overjoyed at the news of her engagement to Alpha Gabriel. When he suggested she stay at his packhouse before their official union, they had no objections. It was customary for a future Luna to familiarize herself with her new home and responsibilities, so they readily agreed.
And so, Eliana found herself leaving behind the comfort of her family home to begin her new life with Alpha Gabriel.
When she arrived at the packhouse, Gabriel was already waiting outside, pacing anxiously. The moment he saw her, his face lit up with a broad smile that stretched from ear to ear.
"Victoria! You made it!" he exclaimed, pulling her into an enthusiastic embrace.
Eliana hugged him back reluctantly, trying to mask the unease that gnawed at her. There was something overly exuberant about him that felt off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Of course, Alpha," she said, forcing a smile. "I'm excited to be here."
