She felt the tyre pop as she drove through the portal. s**t what she hit. She pulled over and got out. The left front tyre had blown. Well, it's a good job her dad taught her how to change a tyre.
She finished changing the tyre. It was bloody heavy. Quinn was cleaning her hands when she smelt it. She didn't have a wolf, but he father drilled into her mind what a rouge smelt like. Dirty rotten fruit smell. It was the best thing he could describe it as.
She turned to see 5 of them. Approaching her. Great. She jumped on top of her car. She was about to attack when a large vehicle showed up, and 2 men jumped out shifted and attacked the wolfs. 2 more men came out, and 1 rouge wolf jumped to attack her she punched it straight in her jaw.
It scratched her on the way down. The 4 pack wolfs. It looked like Alpha and his unit. It wasn't Jack. All shifted back and headed for their car to get dressed.
"Come down wolfless. We won't hurt you. What are you doing out here?" he asked.
What's that any of your business. She doesn't know you.
"Oh, fisty. I am Alpha Craft of Crescent Green Pack. It's about 1 hours' drive from here. And you are? " He said
Quinn Hilton. "From?" he asked.
Never you mind. "What are you doing here?"
Travelling to her new mates pack.
"Let me guess, Crescent Valley."
Yes. "Who's your mate? that wouldn't mark a hot thing like you?"
Thing?? He was looking at her up and down. She was grossed on so many levels. She heard a car come a screeching holt. Jack jumped out very mad. Clearly, he didn't like Craft. A story to be told.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
Yes, her tire blow. She fixed it, but then 5 rouges showed up, and Alpha Craft came, and his unit showed up and helped.
"How was you here?" Jack asked Craft.
"We were on our way back from the human realm and came across this lovely damsel indistress, but I'm guessing by your reaction, this is your new mate, Alpha Jack. lovely, she hot. I'll mark her if you dont," Craft said.
Jack growled. She placed a hand on him. Jack, let's go. You need to show her her new home. He nodded.
"I'll ride with you," he said.
We got into her truck. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asked.
Yes, Alpha Jack, she is fine. "It's just Jack. " Okay, just Jack, what's the story with Alpha Craft?
"Oh, funny. It's a long story. " We got time. He smiled.
"Alpha Craft is my cousin. Many years ago, our grandfathers were Alpha to our packs and got along great. We protect the portal on either side. The plan was to always merge our packs, but that all changed when my grandfather met my grandmother."
Okay, why does she feel like this isn't going to be good?
"It's not my grandfather Conner goddess gifted mate was his brother Clives girlfriend. " ouch
"Yep, it didn't go well. A fight broke out, which led to war, and the council had to step in. An alliance was written that we were to protect the portal. No fights were ever allowed to happen, or the kingdom would rid of both packs."
So you, too, don't get along.
"Kind of our family still met on special occasions, but over the last few years. My cousin has been trying to get us to merge, and I dont want to,"
Why, if you dont mind her asking.
"He wants money. He's basically dragged the pack into the ground. He's losing pack members to me for many different reasons. I'm currently in talks of expanding, and he wants in. I don't trust him and won't ever merge with him. Jack, great, great-grandfather. was right. Greed is all that part of him. He also likes to wind me up. He would flirt with Sara all the time just because he could. Our wedding was a nightmare, " he said.
Sara? Wedding?
"Yes, sorry. Sara was my first mate. She was human. We had a normal human wedding, then moved to the pack. "
How did that work different realms?
"I own a lot of restaurants, and one is in a hotel. That's how I met her she was a chef and applied for a job. Sorry, " he said.
Why are you sorry?
"I dont know how you feel about me talking about my first mate." He said.
Jack, we all have a past, and she was a big part of yours. You can talk about her. She would like to know her. She just has rules.
"Go on?" he asked.
Don't expect her to be like her or replace her. She is her own person. Don't push pack members to accept her or forget about Sara. Let them come her on their own. That's the same for the children. Most like your eldest is going to give her some pushback. Your youngest 2 may come around sooner. Just let them be how they want to be towards her even if you don't like it.
"I can do that." He said.
Good, so are we reaching this pack or what. He laughed.
"Yes, just up ahead."
We reached some large gates. The guard saw Jack. The guard nodded.
"Welcome to Crescent Valley pack. She said, "Thank you."
She drove up the drive. It literally lived up to its name it was like like driving through a valley. It was beautiful. We reached the pack house, and it looked a bit like the white house shape. It was grand, but not over the top.
"You like?" he asked.
Yes, it's beautiful, not at all what she pictured.
"What did you picture?" Hotel looking.
"I keep that for business. This is home,"
We pulled up, and they were people waiting for them. The family, she's guessing, well here it goes.
She got out. She smiled at them all. Jack held out his hand, and she took it
"Quinn, this my parents Alpha Joshua and Luna Katrina or Kat she tells the pack to call her." he said.
It's nice to meet you. It's a beautiful pack.
"Thank you, dear. I look forward to getting to know you. Do you know anything about a luna role?" she asked.
"Mother? she's just got here, " Jack chastised her.
It's okay, Jack. She hasn't done the role herself, but her home has a wonderful luna. She's seen how a luna should be. Kat nodded.
"Quinn, this is my eldest Sutton she is 17, and this Sapphira, she is 10, and Sawyer, my youngest who is 7. " He said
It's nice to meet you all. "What do we call you? step mom?" Sawyer asked.
"Sawyer, she isn't your mom. You don't call her that, " Sutton said.
"Sutton, dont be rude," Jack said, scowling at her.
It's okay. She bent down. Sawyer, you can call her Quinn or Quinny. What ever your comfortable with. Is good with her.
"Can I call you Q?" he asked.
She giggled. Yes, that's fine. Only if I can call you S?
"Yeah, I like it." Sawyer said.
Jack was smiling. She is sorry she was late. One of her wheels popped, and then 5 rouge decided to join in.
"Are you alright?" Joshua said.
Yes, she's fine. She can hold her own, but she had help from....... she turned to Jack.
"Craft helped her." he said.
"Is that all he did?" Joshua asked.
"Yes, Quinn is fine. Quinn, what would you like to do for the rest of the day? "
Unpack if that's alright and you can show her round tomorrow, etc.
"That's fine, but I would like to initiate you into the pack now. "Jack said.
Okay, that's fine.She followed him into his office, and it was standed. Desk chairs infront. Sofas and coffee table to one side. He pulled out his ceremonial blade. He turned towards her and took her hands.
"Quinn Hilton, do you accept I Alpha Jack Prince. Alpha to Crescent Valley pack as your Alpha and future Mate?" he asked, cutting his hand.
She smiled Quin Prince. She giggled. He looked confused. Sorry, my apologies.
" Yes, I Quinn Hilton accept you as my Alpha and future mate." She said.
He cut her hand and meshed it together.
"Why was you laughing?"
Sorry, it's just Quin Prince, Queen Prince. Sorry, she has a weird sense of humour. He smiled. Thank you.
"I will show you too your room and have help bringing your belongings up," he said.
Belongings he does talk very proper. Yes, thank you. She'll grab her bag and suitcase herself. She headed back to her truck, and it was already being emptied.
Your quick. "Sorry, I just thought it would be quicker extra hands." He said.
She nodded she was going to have to get used to it. He's the Alpha, and he will do what he wants in his own pack. Well thanks can you show her where she is staying. He walked her to her suite on the top. It has a luna suite written across the door. She could see directly across the alpha suite.
"Would you like to see the Alpha suite?" he asked.
No, she's fine for now unless you demand it? he looks a little taken back.
"No, I don't demand it." He said simply.
She entered the suite, and about 5 omega came to unpack. Please stop. Thank you for your assistance, but she would like to unpack her own things. Thank you.
All bowed their heads and left. Did you tell them to start unpacking. He nodded. Okay, she will be doing that herself. She will do that alone now, thank you. She will see you tomorrow.
"It's only 5 pm. Would you like to have dinner?" he asked.
Maybe tomorrow. Is the kitchen in this suite stocked?
"It is," he said.
Okay, well, when she finished, she'll make herself something to eat.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. Then,"
Yes, and she shut the door behind him and exhaled, sliding down the door.
