Chapter 4

Kendrick’s POV

The journey from the airport to my pack house is a brief one. I hand the cab man some money and he gives me my change. Facing my pack house, the black mourning curtains hanging from the windows didn't surprise me. Since it's Night time, the lights are turned off. I walk into the pack house and it's a flurry of movement. Most people stop what their doing and turn to see who just walked in. When they spot me by the door. The noise increases with their greetings and bowing.

Some of the kids run to hug me after which they run inside to keep screaming, “Alpha is back” “Alpha Kendrick is back”.

In no time people are clamoring to enter the bar to greet me, I greet themright back and I search through them, trying to spot my Beta or my Gamma but I can't find them.

I reconsider asking them about where Dante and Travis are in case it's a secret. Some of the youngsters, help me with my bag and I move to settle in ne of the bar stools to sit with some of the few people that waited behind.

The bar is on the ground floor for two purposes; business and protection. Whoever thinks they want to attack my pack, will actually hit the first wave of my strongest warriors.

After a drink with the people that remained, one of warriors briefs me on things that have been happening. Some of which Travis has told me yesterday but this guy talks about some other things. Warriors feeling like they're being watched whenever they go out for trainings. The pups complained of the same thin

“The pack building is getting smaller with each new member we take in. We may need to move soon,” Derek says.

“Thank you for the information, Derek.” I tell him, taking my leave from the bar. I stop by the kitchens to check on Chef Sophie but she isn't there.

I make my way through the pack house checking on as many people as I can to make sure they are doing okay. Some of my people have complaints while some just thank me and get back to what they were doing.

I continue checking on them as much as I can while moving through the house. Some kids ball bounces out of their apartment and I catch it playing with it before tossing it back yo them.

I finally get to the place I have been aiming to get to, the pack clinic. The medics don't even notice I'm there as they keep moving around with what they're doing.

I walk up to the front desk to ask about my pack healer, Ryan. The Nurse behind the desk is obviously startled by my presence.

“Good morning, Alpha. I didn't know you were back–.” She says a bit too loudly but I interrupt her before anyone can hear me. I have a lot of things to get to.

“Keep your voice down.” I unintenionally snap at her, adding, “Please.” To softing my words.

“Oh I’m sorry. I didn’t mean–.”

“Where is Ryan?” I interrupt her with my question again.

“He's in theater II.” She answers a bit more curtly this time.

“Thank you.” I respond to her will walking away from her.

I remained uunoticed until one of the nurses carrying some supplies bumps into me.

“I'm so sorry.Are you hurt?” She says, checking my body for any sign of hurt.

“Oh no, I should have noticed you. I'm sorry.” At the sound of my voice, she stiffens looks up at me and begins apologizing more profusely.

“Hey, that's enough. It was a mistake on my part, now please stand up.” I respond, trying not to massage my temples to ease my growing headache.

I stoop down to pick up the supplies she dropped and she finally snaps out of either her thoughts or fear to join me. After that, the attention and greetings I was trying to avoid, starts pouring in
