Chapter 5

AURORA’S POV. 

I arrived at the next pack two cities away from my previous pack at night and went straight to pay my respects to the Alpha of the pack, and ask him if he could permit me to stay in his pack for a while so they wouldn't think I'm a rouge wolf. 

Oh wait, they can't smell a wolf on me because I don't have one. 

Maybe I should use this to my advantage. 

I walked up to the guards who were positioned at the boundary and bowed slightly which they returned courteously. 

I couldn’t help but think that the servants there were trained and had manners, unlike where I come from. 

With the directions that Nora gave me, I didn’t find it difficult to locate the Alpha’s mansion so I could pay attribute to him. I was certain that they’d find out if I sneaked into the pack to live amongst them, so in order to avert impending trouble, I decided to greet the Alpha myself and ask for permission. 

I got to his mansion, and with the help of my notepad and pen, I scribbled down my wish of seeing the Alpha and handed it over to the guards at the palace who accepted it and directed me to a corner. 

“He’d be here soon,” The guard said, and left, walking back to his duty post. 

“The guards are well trained,” I thought and smiled lightly. 

This was the main reason why Nora selected this pack for me, as she said the pack was known for their friendly nature to Strangers. 

In the pack where I was Luna we hardly let outsiders in, so I'm hoping this is going to turn out well for me cause I don't know where else to go. 

I sat down for a while, waiting for the Alpha to come until a young lady walked out and asked me to follow her. 

We got to a room just to see the Alpha sitting majestically on a big chair that looked like a throne, and a stoic-looking man I suspected to be his Beta by his side. 

I knelt down before him and quickly wrote down something on my notepad with capital letters. 

GREETINGS SIR, I COME IN PEACE. 

His beta walked towards me with slow steps and collected the paper from me, before handing it over to the Alpha. 

“Can you talk?” He asked, and I slowly looked up before shaking my head slightly. 

The Alpha is an attractive man with blond hair and green eyes I instantly got lost in, the beta was equally good looking but the frown on his face made me realize I wasn't welcome enough to stare. 

“You’re mute?” The Alpha asked, as a glint of sadness flashed through his eyes or probably, I wasn’t sure. 

“What can I do for you?” He asked me now, wearing a serious look. 

Slowly, I took back my notepad from him and began to write it down. 

"Please sir, I’m a young girl who’s stranded and doesn’t have anyone or anybody to turn to for help,” I passed the paper to him after I was done writing it, and he chuckled in disbelief of course this sounds like a joke.

“Who are you? What about your family?” He asked, returning the notepad to me. 

“I’m an orphan, Your Highness,” I wrote and gave it to him. 

“You seem like a human?” He asked and I nodded, making him raise his brow in suspicion. 

“I’m sure you’re aware that we’re different, so what brought you down here, in the midst of the werewolves?” He asked, and I thought about how I could answer this question brilliantly without anyone suspecting where I was coming from or who I was. 

I quickly wrote down a small lie that I just thought about, “I’m running from my parent's murderers and I found myself here….been running for days now,” He read it and heaved deeply. 

“Sure you can stay in my pack for security,” He said and a wide smile appeared on my lips. 

“Thank you,” I wrote in bold letters, and showed him. 

“But your highness, you don’t know her well and it’s risky to just accept anyone into this pack,” The Beta whispered to the Alpha, but I heard him and heaved deeply. 

It was true, but I hoped that the Alpha wouldn’t have a double mind about helping me. 

“My beta is worried sick about the safety of the others in the pack, so we’ve decided to investigate this very well and find out where exactly you’re coming from,” The Alpha said I nodded, and he flashed me a smile. 

“Till then, you’re free to stay here,” The Alpha announced and I grinned from ear to ear. 

"Someone will meet you outside to help you get settled in" He added and I bowed my head and turned to leave, touching my pockets to ensure that the money Nora gave me on my departure was still intact. 

Slowly, and unconsciously, my hand went to my stomach as I massaged it slowly. 

“Hey baby, we are going to live a good life here, so just take care of yourself till you’re ready to come into the world,” I thought and chuckled until my face turned to that of determination on my way out of the Alpha’s meeting room.

Right there and then, I swore within myself to take revenge on my husband and his family for all the pain they’ve caused me. 

“Wait for me, until I’m ready and must have regained my voice,” I thought, and with that, I walked out.
