CHAPTER 10
POV: Elizabeth
I had began to unpack my dew measley things. My clothes when into the dresser. I didn't have a good place for my herbs and cauldron so I used some configuration to change the vanity area into a good place for my things.
The vanity turned into a black cupboard that had plenty of space for herbs and my cauldron when not in use. I changed the stool to the vanity into a round table perfect to stand at and make my concoctions.
I found some rope in a nearby closet to hang for herb drying. I had a few things set up in another demention of sorts. A pocket demention only I had access to. From there I grabbed some window hangings and other decorations to make myself at home.
By time it was dinner time my room looked like a perfect witch room. All I needed was some time in the woods to forage for herbs to get hung to dry and it would be just like home.
Milo knocked on the door just as I had sat down to admire my hard work. When I opened the door he seemed surprised by the changes I had made.
I followed him upstairs to a room with a big wooden door, the private dining area for the alpha and his family as Milo had explained. He opened the door And let me go through, then closed it behind me.
The room wasn't as elaborate as I would have expected. It looked like any old dining room you'd find in someone's house. Johnathan and a woman were sat at the table. The same one that had sat next to Jasper at the feast earlier.
I went to the only spot open, next to Johnathan, and sat down.
"Hi! We haven't been properly introduced! I'm Evelyn, Johnathans mom. I am so excited for you to be here!" She said, with a genuine smile that greatly contrasted her son's scowl.
"So the next few days are very busy as we need to get you started with tutors. You will be learning about being a Luna and a Luna's duty from me. Our head omega will take you around the grounds and the city to learn your way around and about as many people as you can. You'll start self defense tomorrow. We have classes that all our people take. Tonight after diner we will go spar to see which class to place you in."
While she was talking a few people began to bring out food. Big piles of meat, again. There were also mashed potatoes and green beans. Still no fruit. I dished up the potatoes and veggies and a little bit of the brisket that was set in front of me.
"You'll also need to begin a lycan history course which will be taught by our beta Milo. You'll have free time each day before lunch and after dinner. Other than that you will be either studying, or training. Do you have any questions?" She asked
"No, that all seems pretty straight forward" I said and took a bite of the brisket, it was very good. Johnathan ate his food and refused to speak even when his mother addressed him directly.
"Please ignore my rude son. He will eventually get used to this." She continued on while I finished eating. She was giving me a very detailed schedule I knew I'd need written down to even hope to remember it.
Once we were all done eating she led us out to the practice field so she could assess my skills for placement.
"Just fighting or is magic allowed?" I asked. Evelyn looked surprised by my question. As if she had forgotten I was a witch.
"Well let's start no magic and go from there." She said.
Johnathan, for the first time looked happy. "Now don't expect me to go easy on you, little witch." He cut out before striking out. Beginning the sparing way before I was ready.
He went to sweep my feet and throw me into the ground, and while surprised he attacked so soon, he was only able to throw off my balance. I had been in self defense classes since I was 3.
He was obviously surprised I was still on my feet, and I used that moment to attack. I pulled my hand back and struck him in a pressure point by his neck.
We exchanged a few more blows before he was finally able to get me knocked over.
He seemed very proud of himself for having won.
"Wow! Very good Elizabeth! I didn't expect so much out of you! I think you'll be able to join in with the group that is your age!"
"Ugh, she didn't do that good." Johnathan said, rolling his eyes.
Evelyn gave me a sympathetic smile and we went inside.
Almost as if she had read my mind earlier she handed me a printed copy of my schedule.

"Weekends you won't have classes, just your 10am fitness class. Sleep well Elizabeth, I'll see you tomorrow" Evelyn said before heading inside.
Johnathan said nothing and just scowled before also heading back to the pack house.
I sighed and followed them back. Tomorrow would be a very long day.
