Another pack, another life.

A welcomed guest in the pack.

***Brian POV***

Soon we arrived at the cast iron gate which indicate the main enter of the Bright Moon Pack.

It was a two doors gate with a beautiful and complicated monogram at the top centre of it with a M and a B tied together.

It was a handwork by a couple skilled artisan now retired but still part of our community.

Two of my men, Ramon and Charlie, standed at the two sides of the gate wearing a black suit and a black tie.

Ramon was also wearing a pair of Ray-Ban.

They both had their hands in front of their lap and they were standing still, giving the impression of being some sort of VIPS' bodyguards.

Two guards at the gate was a standard, the odd part was how they were dressed: they usually went on with cargo pants and a sweat shirt and that was usually enough.

That told me a lot about the importance assigned to the guest I was escorting.

I nodded at Charlie, who was on my side of the car, and smirked a little because of his suit.

He nodded me back with his best poker face and opened the gate for us.

The last few miles then I will have to leave the sweet Elisa.

***Nensi POV***

After this painful journey we were at home at last.

I watched the guards at the gate, wow! Charlie and Ramon were quite impressive with those black suits!

Ramon went a little too far with those sunglasses, he seemed a little a mafia's gaffer but still.

I am sure all that wasn't their own idea, I could sense my mum' s Lunazilla signature.

I smiled ad both of them and turned down the glass of the window: " Hi guys, you two are stunning!"

Then I quickly turned the glass up knowing they sensed my irony.

Elisa was silent, she was looking around carefully.

She seemed a little pensive.

"We are arrived Elisa. I hope you'll like our pack.

It's not big but it's peaceful, well runned, and has everything you can ask about: a neat and spacious pack house, shops, nature, amazing people."

I seemed like the tourist board of an unknown village but I tried my best to do what my parents I knew wanted me to do.

" You will stay at the pack house.

My family has part of the third floor but we are only three so more than half of the floor is used for guests.

Your room is spacious, my mum choose the most beautiful and comfortable for you and I really hope you will enjoy it."

"I am sure it will be perfect Nensi, thank you so much" Elisa said with her sweet smile.

Brian stopped the car in front of the pack house and opened the car door for Elisa with his best and more welcoming smile.

"Miss Elisa, here we are. Enjoy your stay, I will be pleased to have you on the training ground when you will be ready and got rid of jet-lag."

"Thank you so much Mr. Harris, I will join you as soon as possible!"

***Charlene POV***

My niece was here.

After all this time I had the chance to make something for my beloved Beatrice.

Not being with her when she mourned her mate was so heartbreaking, I remembered endless phonecalls with her when she only howled in despair, calls which often ended because she uncontrollably shifted to run away for hours if not days.

All with a little girl completely overwhelmed and incapable to understand the complexity and the desolation of that situation but experiencing the loss and the suffer of that.

"Elisa!! I am so glad you are here with us at last!!!"

I run towards her to engulf that awesome lady in the strongest hug.

I heard Karl's steps behind me.

I knew the protocol should see the Alpha doing the greetings and the introductions at the very first but I also knew Karl wouldn't mind for this little rules break up.

"Aunt Charlene I am so glad to be here and to meet you and your family! Nensi has been already a perfect chaperone on the way home!"

She was? I doubted it but I smiled at Elisa's politeness.

"Good, good, let me introduce you Karl, my mate, my husband and the Alpha of the Bright Moon Pack" I said moving aside to let Karl extending his hand.

" Good afternoon Elisa, welcome to our pack.

From today, untill the day you'll leave, you are officially a guest of our pack and you are free to roam everywhere within the Pack's territory.

Of course you also will have to follow the Pack's rules but they are basically the same of every civilized pack so I am sure you are fully aware of which they are."

Elisa gave him a handshake, smiling sweetly.

"Thank you Alpha Karl."

"Uncle Karl for you, except if an official occasion occurs."

Karl smiled back with his fabulous grin.

Everything seemed to go smoothly, not a lot of people were outside the pack for this little welcoming ceremony although everyone was fully aware of it: we didn't want to let Elisa too much under pressure.

"Let us show your apartment Elisa, I am sure you are tired and you need some rest and some time for yourself.

If you want you can call the kitchen staff dialing 8 from the room's phone to order your dinner. Instead, if you will feel rested enough, the dinner will be at seven pm in the dining room nr. 1.

There will be just the three of us plus the Beta's and Gamma's families to give you some space to acclimatize.

" Aunt Charlene I will be with you for sure. Just the time to have a shower and some rest. Thanks again, you are all so thoughtful!"

What a polite girl. Beautiful, polite and elegant.

I hoped Nensi would take something from her: my daughter was the best daughter in the world but she would use some manners and a wider view of the world as an Alpha's heir.

We entered the Pack's house, meanwhile Brian brought inside Elisa's trolley.

"Oh, dear, by the way, your luggages arrived yesterday. We put them in your room but we didn't want to open them so they are still closed. If you need help unpacking just use the phone in your room. Again, dial 8. 8 works for everything you need in other words!" I said her laughing a little.

We showed her the common parts of the house on the first floor, the dining rooms, the library and our offices: our pack house isn't very big but has all the basics to provide comfort.

Then we headed to her room.

*** Elisa POV***

The welcome has been very warming.

My aunt was exactly as my mum always described her: cheerful, full of energy, always careful towards others and well organized.

The perfect Luna.

Uncle Karl was the way an Alpha should be: well builded, clearly used to train a lot, authoritarian and imposing but not so much to be scary and with friendly manners.

I wondered if Nensi was under training to take over the pack when the time would come.

They showed me the common areas of the house all together, then Nensi and uncle Karl went to their apartment and aunt Charlene showed me my place

We reached the room which was spacious but not huge, right in front of the door there was a window with a small balcony overlooking the lake.

The view was amazing and the fresh air coming from the outside reviving.

My luggages, and by my luggages I mean five big sized suitcases, were right next to the door.

Walls were white, as were the most part of the forniture: a queen size bed with its side tables, a big wardrobe, a comfortable couch and a desk with a chair with everything settled for working or studying plus a nice vase full of dark pink tulips.

The bed linen, the sofa's cushions, the curtains and all the textile were in light pink and spring green and gave the room a lovely flair.

I also had my own bathroom, where white was dominant again, yet the towels, bathrobes, and accessories were in light yellow.

I grinned: " Aunt Charlene, did you furnished this room?"

"Yes darling, don't you like it?" she looked at me with concern.

"No, not at all, I love it. I love it and my first thought when I saw it was: if mum had to refurbish this room, she would've used the same, exact, colour scheme!"

My aunt laughed from her heart.

"Oh, you don't say? When she was young Beatrice was all into glitter, optical prints and the Sixties!!"

I looked at her incredulous, my mum??

"Now I leave you alone, take your time and if you need anything our staff can't provide you immediately just come over to our rooms right on the other side of the corridor or dial me, you have my number, right?"

"Yes aunt. I would say thank you once again but I don't want to seem redundant."

I hugged her briefly.

"See you later!"
