Everyone looked around frantically searching for the source of the sound, our gaze landed on a fallen Oscar, what the....? Del ran to his side trying to figure out what's happening.
"He...he is changing!!" Del said sounding alarmed glancing at me.
I should have known, he has been wearing a confused look, been distant, his wolf must have been talking to him and he was confused as to how.
His cries filled the room, a painful, agonizing, frightening hour later, a small werewolf stood next to Del, looking at us scared, he walked to me wobbling with his step, we were scared he'd fall but he didn't, he got to my side and I bent down and picked him up, he looks exhausted.
"Let's take him upstairs." Del suggested.
"One moment," Ronnie said leaving the basement and coming a second later with a sheet "Timber shift back." Ronnie said going close to him with the sheet wide open but Timber's wolf just kept jumping up and down, his wolf his huge, its really huge, no one has dared to go close to him.
"Shift back now!!" I ordered in a low thick voice, he whimpered and did as so, his fur turned back to skin and paws became hand and feet, Ronnie blocked our view with the sheet spread apart and with his back facing us, Timber changed back and Ronnie wrapped him with the sheets, makes sense since he is naked, his clothes tore as he was transforming.
Timber turned to us grinning ear to ear, his grin diminished as he saw Oscar in my arms.
"Let's all go to the living room." Del suggested again and this time we listened to her, we all left the basement and went to the living room, everyone has seen their wolf except Celesta and I.
We got to the living room, I placed Oscar on the couch and we covered him in a blanket, this must be the first time he is shifting. Del sat closed to him petting him, I was lost in thoughts as the most intoxicating sent hit me, vanilla and lavender, I raised my nose to the air and started sniffing.
"Saffron?" Del called but I paid no attention to her, I sniffed and walked towards the source of this intoxicating smell, it took over my senses, I couldn't think straight.
"Saffron?" Timber called snapping me out of it and I turned to him.
"Do you smell that?" I asked in a voice that totally doesn't belong to me.
"Smell what?" He asked confused as he continued to stare at me, I saw one thing on everyone's face, fear, and I also saw confusion in Ronnie's eyes.
"What?" I asked glancing at everyone, my voice thick and deep, loud and low, and most of all, deadly.
"Yo-ur your eyes." Del stuttered.
"What about them?" I asked almost growling as she kept a safe distance from me clutching Oscar in her arms who was whimpering, why was everyone acting weird?
"I asked a question." I said annoyed my tone coming out loud and harsh, a growl resonated in my throat. What!!!! Did I just growl?!!!!
"Give Saffron back control." Ronnie said staring at me.
"Don't use that tone with me!!" I growled and he flinched. I heard footsteps and other scents hit my noise but I ignored it.
"Control yourself." He said again and this time in a more low tone. I ignored him and continue sniffing for the owner of that intoxicating scent, and my eyes landed on her, mate.
"Mate." I said with a grin and she cowered. She was hiding behind a bulky frame.
"I'm Alpha Titus, I mean no harm, you're scaring everyone here please give your human back control." He said in a steady tone, I looked around and saw he was right, fear was written over everyone's face.
I felt something retreat inside me and I felt whole again.
"What was that all about?!!!" Del screamed on the verge of tears.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." I said in an apologetic tone.
"Its alright, it wasn't you, it was your wolf." Ronnie said composing himself.
"When did you come in?" Celeste asked turning to Alpha Titus, his name makes me laugh. Titus.
"You all were too frightened to notice my presence, I'm Alpha Titus of the Dawn mark pack and I'm here to offer my assistance as your parents were very dear to me, they were amazing werewolves." He said as he glanced at me.
"Welcome Alpha Titus." Ronnie greeted extending his hands and the Alpha shook it. I noticed there are two other guys with him.
"Who are they?" I asked motioning to the guys.
"These is my second in command, Beta Leon and this is one of the guys I just rescued from Alpha Lucas and the girl behind me is also one that I rescued from Alpha Lucas." He introduced.
"Mate." I said absentmindedly as I stared at her trying to hide away. Everyone just looked at me like I'm crazy.
"Timber please go put on some clothes. Del go give Oscar some clothes," he has already changed back "Celeste go get lunch ready." Ronnie instructed and they all dispersed, Orion left with Celeste.
"Please sit." Ronnie told the Alpha and his people, the girl stood rooted in her spot, tears rolled down her cheeks as she shook uncontrollably, her state angered my wolf.
"Go to her." I heard a voice say in my head, I was about to oblige but stopped myself.
"She is frightened, she is scared of us." I told the voice o suppose is my wolf.
"Let's go hold her and comfort her, she'll feel better if we are close to her." He reasoned and I walked slowly close to her, trying not to spook her further, I was three feet from her, just a couple more steps.
"She is a victim of r**e and abuse." Alpha Titus said and I halted in my tracks.
"What did you say?" I asked turning to him.
"Come sit, let's talk." He urged. I gave her one last look and went to sit with them.
"Del?" Ronnie called and she entered the living room.
"Yes?" She answered glancing at us all.
"Please take her." Ronnie said and Del nodded, she walked slowly to her and reached for her but she immediately flinched and backed away.
"Its alright, I can't hurt you." She cooed. The girl allowed her to guide her to her room upstairs.
"You were saying something." Ronnie said to Alpha Titus.
"Yes, Alpha Lucas and several other Alpha's are causing havoc, snatching she wolves and abusing them, killing other Alpha's, k********g werewolves and causing instability in the werewolf world." He explained.
"We need the help of the former great pack seeing as its Alpha is back." He said motioning to me.
"Its still all to early, He just got his wolf because it has been suppressed but not anymore, he still has a lot of training to do, and a lot to learn about the werewolf world and about being an Alpha." Ronnie informed them.
"Hmm," Alpha Titus sighed "how about you all come to my pack, you could stay there till you are fully trained and have knowledge about everything relating to the werewolf world." He suggested.
"That's a good idea," Ronnie said and turned to me and I nodded my head in approval "they will leave with you by morning." Ronnie said.
"Can't we all leave today?" Alpha Titus asked.
"They will have to go get packing." Ronnie said.
"No problem, we can wait another three hours, I have been away from my pack for a while." He told us.
"Okay. Go and pack your bags, tell Timber and Del also." He said and I left their midst. Whoever Alpha Lucas is, he is getting on my nerves, how dare he touch my mate!!! I decided to go tell Del first as I was eager to see my mate, I knocked on the door.
"Come in." Del said and I opened the door. I saw Del on the floor next to my mate and Oscar and Meadow were on the bed, my mate still looking frightened.
"Ronnie said to pack our bags we are leaving with Alpha Titus in three hours, we are going to his pack house and we'll be there till I've acquired the required training and learned about all I need to." I informed her.
"But I just finished unpacking all of my clothes." She whined loudly.
"Suck it up." I said with a chuckle.
"Fine!!!" She said with a frown. I kept staring at my mates form, she is so fragile, I feel a urge to go to her and comfort her, but she is so frightened.
"I've heard you, I'll start packing." She whined with a sad expression. indirectly asking me to leave, I nod and left the room. I went back to my room and started packing my own bags.
"Go to mate." My wolf said.
"I can't she is frightened." I told him.
"But-"
"Is she all you can talk about? She is really scared, we need to give her a break especially after you scared her even more."
"I didn't mean to."
"What happened back there anyways?"
"My eyes, the colour of my eyes was what frightened everyone."
"Oh, what's your name?" I asked wanting us to get more acquainted.
"I don't have one." He said in a low tone.
"How about I give you one?" I suggested.
"No thanks." He said and I felt a bit disappointed.
"Okay."
"So why have you been suppressing me all these while?" I can sense the anger in his voice.
"It wasn't me but my parent, I didn't even know I am a werewolf, at least not until yesterday." I explained.
"You mean 'our' parents have been suppressing me?" He asked to be clear, I just hummed in response.
"They didn't want us to be a part of this world, they died protecting us and our siblings."
"You mean Del, Meadow and Oscar?" He asked to be sure.
"Yes."
"Okay, you can give me a name if you must." He said and I smiled.
"How about Scar?" I suggested.
"It's fierce I like it." He said smiling and retreated to the back of my mind.
"Why are you grinning like an i***t?" Timber asked and I growled at him.
"Woah! Sorry Alpha." He said with his hands above his head and a sheepish look.
"Better start packing, we are leaving with Alpha Titus, we are going to stay in his pack until we are fully trained then I'll go take over my pack." I informed him.
"Ugh!!!! But we just finished unpacking!!" He whined and I rolled my eyes at him.
