Chapter 5

"Welcome to the Moon Valley pack." Alpha Aiden said .

"Thank you for saving us, Alpha. " Lisa said.

"You guys are safe now. Please tell about the details of your pack to Beta Nathan. He will arrange for you all to get back to your pack safely. " Aiden added.

"We can't thank you enough for this, Alpha. We are really grateful. " Isaac almost broke into tears.

"I don't want to go back." I muttered.

"What?" Lisa asked.

"I don't want to go back to my pack. I have nobody to return to. I have left that place behind. I don't want to go there ever again." I stated.

Especially after my own mate, send rogues to kill me.

"Are you sure about it?" Beta Nathan asked.

"I'm ready to go anywhere but that place. " I said.

"If you don’t want to go back. You can stay here. Join Moon Valley pack." Aiden said.

"Alpha, we can't let her join the pack without a background check." Nathan said.

"Don’t worry, Nathan. This girl can be anything but not a betrayer. I can vouch for her." Aiden said.

"Thank you for your trust in me, Alpha. I'll never forget this favor. I can even die for your pack in the future. You own my life." I kneeled in front of him.

"Get up, Kimberly. Your life is your own. I don't want your life. I just want your loyalty towards my pack. Don't let me down." Aiden smiled as he held my shoulders to make me stand up.

"I want a favor, Alpha. " I voiced out. Aiden signaled me to continue.

"I want to join you pack warriors. " I requested.

"Why would you want to go on the battlefields when you can live a peaceful life in the pack?" Aiden asked.

"Because I don't want to live my life as a weak and useless omega anymore. I want to be strong. I want to be worth your trust. When the time comes, I can become your shield. " I shared my thoughts.

"I can see the determination in your eyes. May you become the best warrior. Nathan made sure to give her the best training. " Aiden patted my shoulder before taking his leave.

"Are you sure about this, Alpha? What if she betrays us?" I heard Nathan whispering to Aiden.

"I don't know why, but I can trust her blindly . She is different. " Hearing Aiden's response made me smile. Finally, someone has trust in me.

'You made the best decision, Kimberly. I'm proud of you.' Moon praised me.

'Let's grow strong, Moon. I don’t want to disappoint Aiden ever.'

"We'll miss you, Kimberly. " Lisa hugged me tightly.

"I'm sorry for putting your lives on stake." I hugged her back. Others joined the hug, too, and it became a group hug.

"You don’t have to be sorry. We would have been dead anyway. At least we are free now. All thanks to the courage you gave us." Isaac chimmed.

"All the best for your new life in Moon Valley pack. We'll visit you in the future. " With those words, everyone bid me a farewell. They were all set to go back to their home. I wish I had a place to call my home.

'You have a home, silly. Moon Valley is our home now.' Moon said.

'You are right. We're home finally. ' I beamed with joy.

"Hello Kimberly, I'm Jessica. Beta Nathan had told me to show you around. I'll take you to your room." A beautiful she wolf said with a huge grin plastered on her face.

"Hello Jessica, I'm glad to meet you." I shook hands with her.

"Are you up for a friendship?" Jessica asked. Her smile is contagious. I can't help but smile now.

I never had any friends in Silver Claw. Mark was the only person who was my friend back then.

"Why not, I would love to have a beautiful friend like you." I replied.

"Let's go. I'll show your room first. I have prepared some clothes for you as per Beta's instruction. You can have a shower and get changed. Then I'll show you around the place and we can hang out." She said everything in a breath. She seems to be a chatter box kind of a person. I'm already loving her company.

"Sounds good." I chuckled and followed her.

"You will be staying at the pack house as you don't have your own place in the pack. I also live at the pack house as I work there. So we can catch up all the time." Jessica continued her yapping. I was listening to her in amusement.

"Sorry, I'm talking too much." Jessica said when she realized she was the only only speaking continously.

"I don't mind that. You are such a sweet girl." We giggled together.

Jessica took me to my room. It's a quiet, decent, and clean place. The bed is comfortable, too. It's giving the cozy vibes.

Jessica gave me a pair of baggy jeans and an oversized t shirt. I took a quick shower and got dressed.

"I didn't know your clothing preferences, so I prepared whatever I thought might be comfortable to wear. We can go shopping sometime so you can buy it as per your preference. " Jessica offered.

"It's fine. These clothes are comfy. " I said.

"From which pack you originally belong?" Jessica asked, and my smile dropped immediately.

"I guess I made you uncomfortable with my question. You don't have to answer that. Sorry. " Jessica looked guilty.

"It's okay. I just don't want to think about that place. By the way, what work do you do at the pack house?" I asked.

"I handle the staff of the pack house. My work is to make sure everyone is working properly. All the omegas in the pack house follow my orders. " She said.

"That sounds cool. You are making it sound like you are the leader of some gang." I chuckled .

"Also, I'm Beta Nathan's younger sister. " She said.

"No wonder you look like him." I commented.

"Don’t compare me with him. He is nothing in front of my beauty. " She pouted.

"Now that's a sibling thing. Dragging each other down." I laughed.

"Let's go.I have so many places to show you around. I'll introduce you to my friends too." Jessica practically dragged me out of the room.

On our way out, I was so much distracted by Jessica's words that I bumped into someone. I lost my balance. I was about to fall, but a pair of arms held me.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't see you coming. " I mumbled.

"It's okay," Aiden said.
