The pack house is beautiful. It is six stories high. It has very tall windows on each floor that compliments the dark grey stone. It has a modern day castle vibe going for it. There is a fountain just outside in front of the house. It is surrounded by a driveway for any arriving cars. The fountain has a centerpiece of a wolf howling to the sky.
Beyond the fountain is a very large grass field. It is about 3 acres wide. This was made to give us a view of any enemies coming towards the pack house. With enough time to act on it. After that it is all a beautiful bright green forest. We have a river that circles around our territory that I love to walk to sometimes.
Behind the pack house is the hospital and Ballroom. Our Ballroom is actually a very large building for celebrations and meetings. Most of our buildings are brand new. We had to expand a lot recently due to our growth. Many new apartments have been built beside the pack house. All of the buildings have the same dark grey stone.
Inside the pack house is a lot brighter. The house is mostly decorated in a dark navy blue but the floors are a white marble. The walls are all mostly white with decorative pieces. The best part of the entrance is the huge gold and crystal chandelier.
The first floor is the kitchen, huge dining room, gym, and the recreational rooms. Upstairs on the second floor there are offices and meeting rooms. Above that are all the bedrooms.
Today we have a lot of extra omegas helping us. It is a big day for us. To have our Alpha and Beta home again is exciting. Even with all the extra help it is a lot of work. I have been scrubbing, folding, sweeping and mopping for the entire day. My body is screaming at me with pain everytime I move.
The Alpha and Beta returned about an hour ago. No one has really seen them. They asked to be left alone in their rooms until dinner was ready. I imagine traveling has exhausting them both.
The sun has started to go down. I haven’t even had time to eat today and I am starving. Dinner will be served in a few minutes. I am not allowed to eat in the pack house but I can take food with me to go. I probably would be forced to cook if I didn’t almost burn the kitchen down three times already. I may have also poisoned the entire pack house a few times.
Needless to say I am permanently banned from the kitchen. I assume they cook for me to avoid me from cooking my own food too. Meh, I cannot complain. I really enjoy having someone else do the cooking.
I am on the top floor and am about to head for the stairs when I smell something strange. By some miracle I have wolf-like senses. I can see really well, hear from a distance and smell similar to a wolf. Just not as strongly as if I had shifted but better than a real human.
This scent was so strong. I felt intoxicated by it. It smelled of vanilla, strawberries and pinecone. It smelled so sweet and delicious. I couldn’t help it, my legs moved before I realized I was walking. I am now standing in front of a closed door.
A door that I knew well. It is Alpha Caiden’s suite. I stood frozen and absolutely petrified. He was the only one in there and I smelled my mate inside that room. Oh there is no freaking way. This cannot go well for me.
I have no idea how long I stood there with my mouth wide open like a goldfish. I just couldn’t move. He would reject me without a doubt. No Alpha could take a Luna who has no wolf. Oh this couldn’t be happening. Why me? He has been in this pack house with me before. He should have smelled me years ago. Unless he did. But no! He has been searching for his mate.
There isn’t much I can do but to go inside. I took a large deep breath and braced myself to go in. My shaking hands reach forward and grip the handle. Very suddenly the door flew open and he stood there in the doorway.
He is towering over me. He must be like 6’4” and all rock hard muscles. He has a nice tan which goes well with his chestnut colored hair. He looks very irritated while staring at me. Those golden eyes of his have me completely mesmerized. How can anyone have such golden eyes? “What do you want?” He growled out. "I gave instructions not to be bothered by anything."
I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. My mind was frozen and I could hardly breath. He stood in front of me with only a towel wrapped dangerously low around his waist. My mind couldn’t focus on any coherent words. A part of me was praying to the goddess to make his towel fall off.
“Is there something wrong with you? I said I am not to be bothered by anything. I am busy. LEAVE!” He slammed the door leaving me fairly confused. I turned away and walked down the stairs at a glacier pace. Trying to wrap my head around what happened. He didn’t reject me. He didn’t even seem to care that I was there. Was he just avoiding what he already knew? But why not just reject me. That smell definitely came from him. There is no doubt that he is my mate. I can tell even without a wolf.
I get snapped back to reality when my stomach growls at me. I am hungry, tired and confused. I think some sleep will definitely help me think more clearly.
