Silverwood - Werewolf chronicles

Chapter 8: Making Friends

The dawn of the next day found Luna awakening from a surprisingly restful sleep, though she was unwilling to admit it. The luxurious room assigned to her in the pack house seemed to have a calming effect, even in the midst of the whirlwind of emotions.

Determined to start her day on her own terms, Luna headed to the pack house kitchen, offering to help the staff prepare breakfast. The bustling energy of the kitchen matched the energetic hum of the Silvermoon pack. Amidst the organized chaos, Luna encountered a girl named Helen—full of vivacity, positivity, and an eagerness to welcome a newcomer.

"Hi there! You must be Luna. I'm Helen! Welcome to the pack house! We're so thrilled to have you," Helen exclaimed, her enthusiasm infectious.

Luna, though still harbouring a sense of resentment, couldn't help but be drawn to Helen's warmth. "Thanks, Helen. It's... different, but I appreciate the welcome."

As they worked together in the kitchen, Helen shared stories of pack life, her animated tales painting a picture of camaraderie and shared experiences. Luna found herself silently acknowledging that not everyone in the pack was against her presence.

When breakfast was ready, Luna took on the task of serving the werewolves, navigating the dynamics of the dining hall. As she carried a tray of food, her eyes briefly met Aiden's across the room. The tension between them remained palpable, and Luna couldn't deny the flicker of anger that surged within her.

Aiden, too, noticed Luna's presence, his gaze lingering on her for a moment. Thoughts of the previous day's encounters and the complexities introduced by Luna's arrival occupied his mind.

Just as Aiden's thoughts drifted, Colin entered the room, breaking the Alpha from his contemplation. "Good morning everyone.” Aiden looked up when Colin said: “Aiden we have to discuss some stuff.”
