Allison's pov:
Both her and James boarded the bus to Boulder Colorado the last connection they needed. James has protected her the whole time and making sure she has had something to eat and been so kind, but she couldn't help feeling like there was some sort of motive behind his actions. He has been very nice and there is no way that she could repay him for what he has done. He wanted her to join his pack, but she was very reluctant as the pack she came from treated her poorly.
"Are you sure you want to help me James," Allison asks, "You don't know me except the time on the bus, and I don't want to cause any trouble with your pack or your mate."
"Allison I do want to help you and I have already discussed it with the Gwen my mate," James started, "She is the only one that knows your situation and she wants to help as well."
"But I am now considered a rogue and I know how rogues are looked upon," Allison rebuts, "it will cause turmoil in your back and like I said I do not want to cause problems."
"Allison all is well and I have no doubt that my pack will welcome you with open arms," James reassured her, "I promise you will be protected and nothing will happen or they will feel my wrath if they do anything to you."
"Okay," Allison says reluctantly still unsure of how she feels about joining another pack, "but if I feel that I am causing problems I will leave."
"Agreed," James replied with a warm smile, "now we have a few hours before we reach boulder why don't you try and get some sleep." With that Allison leans against the bus window and stares out to the country side and watches it go by soon dozing off. Three hours later she was nudged awake by James for they were pulling into the bus station at Boulder. Allison looks out the window to see the most beautiful scenery that she has ever seen. She always thought that the scenery in Maine where her old pack was at was gorgeous, but to her this was way better and took her breath away. As she steps off the bus and takes it all in she sees the city is surrounded by the biggest mountains she has ever seen and filled with nothing but forest.
"Allison," James says nudging her out of her thoughts, "this is my mate and Luna of my pack Gwen."
Gwen is waddling up to her for she is pregnant and to the looks of it about to give birth has long black crimson hair that flowed to her shoulder blades with a pale white face making her look gorgeous as it contoured her long face and here Hazel brown eyes, "Hi Allison," Gwen holds out a hand to shake hers, "Oh what a beautiful young girl."
"Hi," Allison grabs her hand and shakes it, "thank you very much."
"This is my beta and best friend Alex," James continues to introduce everybody around them, "and my third Jackson."
"Hi," Allison greets and shakes each hand shyly, "nice to meet you all."
"Pleasure is ours Allison," Gwen replies back with a smile, "now lets get your luggage sweet heart."
"Um," Allison starts, "I have everything already right here," showing off her backpack she had.
"Oh okay," Gwen smiles, "well that will change we are going shopping before we return to the pack house."
"Its okay I can get a job and get what I need after," Allison blushes, "I can get by with what I have."
"Non sense," Gwen replied, "come and I will tell you about this city and the pack if you would like."
Seeing there was no arguing with her Allison reluctantly agrees. "Where did James go?" Seeing he was no where around.
"He already started heading to the pack territory to tend to business its going to be us girls and of course my guard," Gwen stated pulling Allison with her with excitement.
"Oh," Allison said relaxing, "so what should I know about here?"
"Well boulder is a city that is neutral so everybody can come," Gwen starts describing what to expect, "there is rogues of course, wolves from many packs along with witches and sorcerers."
"Witches and sorcerers?" Allison looked shocked but excited, "I have never met anyone like them they never came close to my old pack." Already in their first store looking at clothes. Allison is looking at the clothes and price tags scrunching her nose at the price because it was to expensive for her so she wasn't picking out anything.
Gwen comes back to where Allison is standing and sees that she hasn't picked anything out, "here try these on," smiling and handing Allison a handful of clothes.
"But...." Allison starts but cut off by Gwen.
"No worries," Gwen smiles, "just try them on." Gwen is dragging Allison to the changing rooms. Allison still hesitant, but gives in and goes into the stall next to the Gwen takes. "Come out and show me your outfit."
"I don't know," Allison starts, "this is too revealing."
"Nonsense come lets have a look dear," Gwen laughs. Allison walks out of her stall with a tan colored dress that had spaghetti straps showing off her cleavage and arms that were filled with bruises and contours her curves beautifully as if flowed down her body and reaches just above the knees. Allison looking down to the floor knowing what Gwen was seeing. "Oh my dear child, I can't begin to understand what you have went through I am sorry, but bruises my dear will go away in time and you shouldn't hold your head down."
"Yes," Allison stammers, "but I am still ashamed of letting them do this to me."
"Oh honey, don't be ashamed," Gwen puts her arm around Allison to console her, "it is them that should be ashamed of what they did just hold your head high come lets finish trying things on and get something to eat." Allison walks back into the stall and is trying the rest of the clothes that Gwen had picked out and showing them off. She was starting to have fun and smiling each time. When everything had been tried on they go up to the check out to pay Allison is still trying to put clothes back saying it was to much but Gwen wasn't having it. "Now lets go get something to eat and then we have one more shop to stop and then back to the pack."
"Okay," Allison now smiling and having fun, "I don't know how I will every repay you."
"No worries deary," Gwen smiles and guides her to a cute little cafe at the corner. On the outside it was light brown with white trimming. The curtains on the windows of course was white and a lacy which made it look cute. They stepped in and the tables were dark mahogany brown and accented by white doilies and candles. They stepped up the counter.
"Yes may I help you?" The cashier smiled. Gwen ordered her a turkey bacon sandwich and a hot tea with lemon in it. She noticed Allison was having a hard time deciding on what to get.
"I will get the same," Allison says with a smile. They went and sat at a table by the window and in the corner.
"So whats on your mind darling?" Gwen noticed that Allison seemed to be deep in thought.
"Just remembering the good times in my old pack before that awful day," Allison smiled meekly, "and also the bad memories."
"Oh sweet heart I am sorry to hear what happen, and believe me we will show them that you are strong and capable of anything and everything my dear," Gwen replies placing a hand on Allison's arm, "and we will make sure you are happy."
"Thank you Luna Gwen," Allison replied, "I don't know how I can repay you, but I will repay you for your help."
"Just finish school and do what you need to dear," Gwen smiled, "and please just call me Gwen unless we are in front of another Luna or Alpha and their beta's." Allison smiles and they are conversing when a young man walks in. He is tall about 6'3 with dark black hair cut short, reddish colored eyes and his body was filled with muscles and scars.
"Now who is this young lady?" the Guy starts. Gwen now in defensive mode and her body guard immediately by her side to protect.
"None of your business," Gwen firmly replies.
"Ah but she is gorgeous and she smells like she is rogue," he replies, "stooping so low as to associate with a rogue."
"Like I said none of your business," Gwen now angry, "I will associate with whom I want." Allison now very quiet and avoiding any eye contact with the guy is stirring her spoon in her tea. "Now you are making her uncomfortable and I suggest you let us be before anything happens."
"As you wish," he states with an evil smirk and takes one more look at Allison. He turns and takes his leave to a dark corner in the cafe. His eyes not leaving Allison as lust started to fill his eyes. She is young he thought to himself. Allison quickly looks at him and looks away in disgust and feeling uncomfortable with his staring at her kept shifting in her seat.
Finally they are done eating and leaves the cafeteria. Allison looks back through the window to see if the guy was still there and to her relief he didn't move, but they made eye contact and he gave an evil smirk to her. Allison quickly speeds up her pace to catch up with the Luna and her body guard to head to the next store. To her surprise its Victoria secret. Allison blushes as they entered in and of course they start picking some lingerie for her some very sexy ones at that which made Allison blush even more. "I don't need this as I am 16 and still not old enough to find my mate," Allison states.
"I know, but there is nothing wrong with looking and feeling gorgeous," Gwen says as she is paying for their stuff. "Now that we are done and its starting to get late we need to head back to the pack."
"Okay," Allison grabs the bags along with the Luna's bodyguard and carries it to the car which was a black mustang which smelled like a new car. Allison is astonished about the car and quickly puts the bags in the trunk and gets in the back as the bodyguard is driving. Allison is looking out the window watching the scenery go buy thinking that this is the most gorgeous place that she has every seen, which wasn't many places because since the age of 12 she was left out on any family trips. Finally after an hour they are at their pack house and climbing out.
Allison is hearing murmurs and hushed talking as they see her and asking what a rogue was doing her among themselves. Allison grabbing the bags from the trunk turns to see James and his beta Alex right behind smiling at them both. Grabs the bags and takes them inside of the pack house which was nestled against a mountain. Allison thought that the surroundings of the pack was gorgeous and it would be hard to attack them because they were nestled in the middle of the mountains giving them cover. The pack house was 6 stories high and huge. As she walked up to the steps she sees that it is brown with white trim and the door was a burgandy. As the door opened and they stepped in her jaw dropped to the floor. The carpet was black and to offset the carpet the couch and the chairs were red and surrounding a dark brown coffee table made of oak and two stands on both sides of the couch. In front was a huge plasma 4k televison. The kitchen was to the right of the foyer and she walks in and it was bigger than her last packs kitchen decorated in black, white and red having the best appliances money could buy. In front of her in the foyer was the stare case that parted off going to each side granting access to each wing and each floor.
"Let me take you to your room," Alex guestures, "please follow me."
Allison follows still in awe at each floor halls filled with pictures of the Luna and Alpha, the Alpha with his two best friends his beta and third and lined in gold frames. Finally they reached the third floor and took a right to her room still filled with pictures of the old alphas and lunas. Finally at the door of her room. Alex opens the door and Allison's mouth drops even more. Her room was huge with a king size bed in the middle and a night stand on each side. a couch sitting by the window so she could look out. To the right there was a walk in closet with a small round automine sitting in the middle. To the left was an ajoining bathroom which was white and big. The shower was big and luxurious and the bath tub could hold three people in it. Alex chuckles as he watched Allison, "this is your room go in and look around I will set your bags here on the dresser." Allison walks in and slowly a smile forms on her and she thanks Alex for his help. "Dinner will be ready in about an hour."
"Okay, thank you Alex," Allison replies as she starts putting her clothes and belongings away. She goes in the bathroom and starts a bath noticing all the top brands of shampoos, conditioners, and body washes. Next to the shower she noticed a vanity and it had every kind of make up and hairstyling accessories you could find. She relaxes in the bath tub just enjoying washing up getting clean and relaxing a bit. Noticing that it is almost time for dinner she gets out of the tub and goes into her room. She notices a small box on the bed with a note on it.
I almost forgot her is a phone with mine, Alpha James, Alex's and Jackson's numbers in it if you need help please call. Gwen
Grabbing the box she opens it to find the latest phone. She then hurries to get dressed in some black skinny jeans and a tank top and converse tennis shoes. She then leaves her room and heads down to the main floor. As she got down to the bottom floor she smells the food and starts making her mouth water. She then follows the smells and enters a dining room that could fit her old pack 3 times since her old pack was maybe 800 and one of the smallest in America. She spots Gwen and James and sees Gwen waving at her to sit next to her. Allison approaches and sits down smiling at both of them. James stood up.
"I know you guys have questions about this young lady here and why she is here," James starts looking at his pack all around, "she is going to join our pack in the morning and become one of us. Please show her your kindness." With that he sat down and everybody started to dig in.
Allison didn't know where to start there was a roast and ham, mashed potatos, carrots, peas rice and anything else you could think of. Finally she decided on getting everything which amused Gwen and James along with Alex and Jackson. Allison soon blushing as she noticed her amusment. "I am sorry it all looks good and I guess I am hungrier than I thought."
"No worries dear," Gwen replies smiling, "You look to skinny. I am just glad you like it since we didn't know what you liked."
"Except maybe cheeseburgers and fries," James commented flashing a smirk, "that is all she wanted when we were traveling here."
"Thats good to know," Gwen laughed, "we will make sure to start putting it on the menu."
Allison blushes more, but soon didn't care she was feeling more comfortable around them and was starting to become happy for once. As soon as they finished the main course the table was cleared by the servers and then they brought desert which was chocolate cake and it made Allison's mouth water. She loved chocolate and cake at that. She dug in immediately after the server placed in in front of her. Closing her eyes to taste every bite she took. She was in heaven. Allison was full and waited for everybody else to finish as they had seconds of desert and she didn't. They were talking and holding a nice conversation and they were telling her where their territory ended on each side. To her amazement it was huge it covered the hole north west of colorado ending at the borders and stops just on the outskirts of Denver and of course Boulder was a neutral spot for everybody.
