Tension And Warm Welcome

The car stopped, pulling her from her thoughts and she took her gaze away from the window to catch Alpha Clause staring at her with a look she couldn't identify in his eyes. He let a small smile touch his lips as he continued staring into her eyes. She felt her eyes go to his lips as she noticed how pink and plump they looked. She looked back into his eyes, seeing that he saw her staring at his lips.

Fay averted her gaze, licking her own lips as she felt hot from only his stare and smile. His eyes followed the movement of her tongue across her lips as they darkened with heat. As he looked back into her eyes, she realized that they were suddenly only an inch apart. She pulled back and quickly opened the door then climbed out to escape the tension. It must have been the mate bond, pulling them to each other.

She wanted to be with him, but not when they were inside the car and right when they arrived at his home. It was very improper. She stood in front of the door as he also climbed out of the door. He took her hand, bringing her gaze to him, "My one, do not run away from me because if you do, you only make me chase you harder. You are my mate and Luna, you should embrace it."

She shook her head with a smile, "I am not trying to run away, I didn't want things to escalate into something else inside a car."

His eyes turned to understanding, "I can control myself very well, even with the mate bond."

She felt herself blush slightly, yet felt impressed that he had strong self control. She heard many footsteps as they rushed towards them and she turned her face to see about fifteen werewolves run out of the pack house. More like the pack mansion since the building before them was huge. The pack house was where pack members that didn't want to live on their own live in with the Alpha and Beta. One male werewolf stood at the front of the pack as they stood in front of them.

"Alpha, welcome back. I see that you have found your mate and our Luna." The werewolf said as he bowed his head. She knew him from afar, but had never talked to him since he was of higher status before tonight.

"Yes, Connor. I have finally found her." Alpha Clause answered him then turned to Fay, "This is my Beta, Connor, and everyone, this is Fay, your Luna."

Alpha Clause said the last part as he looked over at the rest of the people standing behind Connor. They all came forward and bowed their heads, "Welcome Alpha and Luna."

"Thank you." Fay replied with a smile as they surrounded her and Alpha Clause.

"Luna, you are so pretty." One child that looked around ten years old said as he stared at her.

"Yes, very pretty." The rest answered.

"Luna, want to see my room?" A teenage girl of around sixteen years old said.

"Luna, come eat dinner with me." A girl of around twenty years old said.

"Luna, play with me!" A girl of around eight years old yelled.

"Okay, everyone. Luna needs to rest, she is tired and hungry. She can meet you tomorrow after she is well rested." Alpha Clause said as he looked around at the people around them.

"Yes, Alpha." They all answered and backed off to give them more space.

Alpha Clause looked back at Fay as he gave her hand a little squeeze. She smiled at him and he faced forward to lead her towards the mansion. They walked into the pack house and Beta Connor with the other pack members followed them in.

The mansion was very large, a living room was the first part they entered upon with pictures of wolves hung on the wall and some vintage looking vases on top of corner tables arranged against the wall. There were two couches and four recliners and a TV facing them. There was a door opposite the TV, a large staircase beside it, another door on the wall adjacent to the staircase and a hallway in between the staircase and the adjacent wall.

"Wow, this place is amazing! I have never seen a house so large and with a lot of space." Fay exclaimed, amazed as she looked around.

Alpha Clause looked amused at her amazement, "Yes, indeed. I am delighted that you like it."

She nodded as he took her towards the staircase, he turned back to the rest of the pack that were still following them, "Alright, everyone. We are going to go up to eat and sleep. You can meet the Luna at breakfast and get to know her then."

"Yes, Alpha." The pack members all echoed and started walking away, some to the couch while others to their rooms.

"Connor." Alpha Clause called his Beta back as he walked to the door beside the staircase.

"Yes, Alpha." Connor answered and walked back to the Alpha.

"Have someone bring up dinner for Fay and I. We will be in my private dining room."

"Okay, I'll tell them right away." Connor replied with a nod and turned around to go to the door he was about to go in.

Fay saw the stove and kitchen counter as he opened the door and went in. That meant that the door was the kitchen's door. "Come with me, Fay."

Alpha Clause's voice took her gaze to him. He was looking at her and when he saw her attention on him, he started leading her up the stairs as she nodded. The stairs twirled in an intricate and beautiful design as they trudged up it.

"Only the Alpha and Beta live upstairs while the rest of the pack members live downstairs."

"Oh, I understand. That means only the three of us will live there now."

"Yes." He replied as they got off the stairs.

They were many doors on the floor well spaced apart even though only the Alpha and Beta lived there. They walked to one white door and he twisted the doorknob.
