Pularis's POVI watched as my soon-to-be new pack mates followed the head maid and a few others to the bathroom. As they left, I turned to the head butler who remained in the lobby. “Have you prepared the documents?” I asked him.“Yes, Alpha. Right here,” he answered, presenting me with a small stack of paper in his possession. “If I may, however, are you certain about this? It is one thing to take in werewolves from another pack, but to offer them such positions in our pack when we do not know of their abilities ourselves? The Healer aside, for the other one… And she is already with a child?”I turned to him with a light glare. “And that is a problem?” I questioned.“It is not that it is a problem, Alpha. The elders and advisors are just concerned. While they have heard of the situation that came to be at the Bluemoon Pack and have agreed to your decision to take in a few of their members, they are unsure about giving them such high-ranking positions so soon. Even if they were recom
We soon arrived at Pularis’s mansion. Upon arrival, Justin, Caitlyn and I were ushered in, while the driver took care of our luggage. “You don’t have to take those for us. We can take them ourselves,” I told him, wanting to help carry our belongings. “It’s not an issue in the slightest, madam. Right now, you are the Alpha’s guests. Allow me to treat you as such,” he insisted. “Mommy! Hurry up!” Justin called, waving at me from the front door. I was reluctant to leave, and looked back at the driver, who nodded his head in assurance that I could go on ahead. Though still hesitant, soon enough, I regrouped with the others at Pualris’s house. That in which was an even bigger mansion than Duncan’s. Why, with its sheer size, it could be a castle, for all I knew. “Whoa... It’s bigger than Duncan’s place,” Caitlyn voiced out. “This is your home, Uncle Pularis?” Justin asked. “Indeed. And it is your home, too,” he answered, just as the doors opened. “Welcome home, Alpha. And welcome, d
"Do you see it? That’s your new home down there,” Pularis said, pointing at a rather large mountain up ahead of us.Justin widened his eyes in shock and awe at the sight. “You live up a mountain?!” he asked, getting a chuckle out of us adults.“It’s not that he lives in a mountain, Justin,” I calmly corrected, earning a confused expression from him. “Well, you’ll see what it really is soon,” Caitlyn said for me, prompting Justin to regain his excitement, as he looked out the window.“How much longer until we actually get there?!” he inquired.“Soon, boy. Just sit down, and enjoy the rest of the ride,” Pularis told him, getting Justin to do exactly that.It took another couple of days of leisure travel for us to finally arrive at our destination, the Nightsky Pack. During the rest of the ride here, there had been bits of detours and distractions. Not only did we make a few stops to relinquish Justin of the boredom and stretch our legs, we even met werewolves from other packs along the
"I'm hiring you as my Beta."Words could not describe my shock when those words left his mouth. "B-Beta? What do you mean your Beta? Don't you already have a Beta?"Pularis raised a brow at my question. "Alphas are allowed to have more than one Beta. Didn't you know that?" I was in a stupor at the response he gave me. For as long as I knew back in the Bluemoon Pack, Duncan and Dingo both had only one Beta werewolf serving under them. Even the Alphas I had met in the many parties and group events had only one Beta with them. They were really allowed to have another Beta under their name?"I can't say I've heard of that either," Caitlyn spoke up. "For as long as I knew, both Duncan and his father, and even the other Bluemoon Alphas before them, only had one Beta with them."The explanation prompted Pularis to pinch the bridge of his nose with a sigh. "It seems there was a reason for that mutt's arrogance, if what you both claim was true," he said, to our confusion. "Susan, you were the
As I turned to Pularis, I noticed him looking out the window with an unusual expression in his eyes. Eyes that seemed quite... 'dark'. Almost as though something had ruined his mood. I grew concerned with the look he had and called out to him. "Is something wrong, Alpha?"My question caught Justin and Caitlyn's attention, as they both turned back to me. "You know, Suzie, you have been calling him that for a while now. What happened? I thought you two were close."I turned back to my best friend with a blank expression and answered, "That was before apparent arrangements were made for me to move into his pack. Now that I'm going to be one of his pack mates, it's only a given that I should address him as my Alpha."At my words, Justin turned to me in shock. "Huh? Even though we're still going to live with Uncle Pularis?" he asked.A small sad smile formed on my face at the question. I was well aware of how close he had been to Pularis, looking up at him as a cool uncle and hero. Sadly,
Susan's POV“Are we there yet?”“Not exactly yet. I told you it was a few days drive.”“I know, but still…”I chuckled at Justin’s little whining. It was not that he was impatient and wanted to get to the Nightsky Pack as soon as possible, as it was more that he was feeling a little bored. Not that I blame him, as we had been going to our new home by car since our departure, only stopping for breaks at designated rest stops. He was fine before, but with the cycle going around for the whole two days…“Why can’t we go in our wolf forms again?” Justin asked again.“Because we also have our luggage to bring. It wouldn’t do to get to our new home without our supplies. How else are we going to carry them? And the farewell gifts from the Bluemoon wolves,” Caitlyn explained. She who had been riding with us since we made the visit to my late parents. “Besides, he said a ‘few’ days. Today counts as that ‘few’. We should be nearby now.”At that hopeful thought, Justin looked out the windows, onl
