Chapter five

Matteo escorted the family to the other quarters of the pack house that had a living room and two bedrooms in it. 

Sebastian immediately went around the house to scout the entire place for any unusual thing or smell while the two women who were feeling relieved unpacked their clothes. 

“ Mother! You all kept talking about how cruel the Alpha was, but he seemed nice in there”.

“ Yes, it seems like, we just need to avoid him, especially on a full moon, he is at his worst on that day”.

“ Oh! That won't be a problem for me considering that I do not go hunting on the full moon because I have no wolf”.

“ Are you excited about starting a new school? ”.

“ I don't know, I just hope that they treat me better than our previous pack”.

“ They definitely will, the Alpha is respected and because of that, no one will dare humiliate you”. Vivian replies with a hint of relief in her eyes. 

They took our time to repaint their rooms, amended most of the couch that we're worn out and by the time they were through, the three of them were hungry and exhausted. 

Vivian went through the kitchen but most ingredients were not available so she sent her daughter to the pack house general kitchen to see if there were a few ingredients she could find. 

Jessica strode through the other quarters of the lack house, amazed at how vast and beautiful it was, she took the stairs upstairs and stopped in the large hallway. 

Confused at where she was, she stopped am swirled around looking at her environment, just then a huge figure stood behind her, and she turned to stare at him in the eyes. 

She was so scared and startled that she fell to the floor pacing hard, his eyes were dark red and glowing so brightly. But once she was able to get a good view of him, his eyes had returned to normal. 

“ What are you doing here! ”. He growls, his voice loud and echoing through the hallway. 

“ I am sorry Alpha! ”. She apologized and got on her feet. 

“ I was searching for the kitchen, but I guess I lost my way”. She replied, her eyes locking with his making her realize how handsome he was. 

He had a shape jawline, and his lips were full and pink that it was capable of swooning any woman off her feet, yet she could tell that there was a dangerous aura around him, one that she should never dare. 

“ Your family must be starving, moving into a new lack isn't easy, I will ask the pack chef to prepare something for you all, you can visit the market tomorrow”.

“ Thank you Alpha, you do not have to, we can prepare something on our own”.

“ I insist! ”. He replied coldly and started walking away but she still stood there admiring his broad features. Seeing that she was not tagging along, he stopped and turned towards her. 

“ Are you coming or not? ”. He asked and she scurried towards him. 

Her entire family wasn't comfortable sitting at the same table with the Alpha, but he had ordered that they join him for dinner and they dared not decline. 

Sitting around the large circular dining table was Alpha Draven, his beta Asher, Sebastian, his wife, and their daughter Jessica. 

 The air around there seemed intense with his dark eyes piercing at them all, Asher kept chewing his meal nonchalantly. 

“ So Sebastian, You were the Beta at your previous Pack? ”. He finally spoke after staring at them consistently for a while. 

“ Yes, Alpha! ”.

“Wasn't it difficult, leaving everything behind, your achievement, all the sacrifice that you made for the pack”.

“ I said this to my previous Alpha, and I am still going to say it to you, my number one priority is to my family, they come first in everything that I do”.

“ I see, What about you Jessica, what do you major in? ”.

“ Art”. She replied with just one word and continued eating again. 

Earlier today, she had seen him in a vulnerable state, most men would freak out when they saw the other side of his eyes, but she seemed calm about it with no hint of fear in her eyes which made him more curious. 

“ And what do you intend to do after College? ”.

“ I have to find my wolf else, all my plans come down to nothing, no school or firm will be ready to take a werewolf that is without a wolf”.

“ You will find your wolf, I can smell her inside of you! ”. Draven expressed and they all seemed surprised. 

“ You can smell her wolf? ”. Sebastian asked with his eyes widened. 

“ The Alpha has an immersed sense of smell and strength that no one else has”. Asher finally spoke, hoping to clear their confusion. 

“ If he can smell your wolf, then she is there, she just needs something like a push-up”.

“ Push up? What is that? ”. Vivian ask. 

“ Has she ever been in a very dangerous state where she almost lost her life, like a near-death situation? ”.

“ No, we will never let our daughter go through such”. Sebastian replied. 

“ If she ever faces such a situation, her wolf will have no choice but to jerk out”.

They remained silent and listened to the Alpha speak a bit of confusion in their eyes. 

After the meal, they went back to their quarters and while Jessica tucked into her room with the door shut, the couple did not stop talking in a low tone. 

“ Everyone at Moon Shadow pack kept talking about how ruthless Alpha Draven was ruthless, but he seemed so kind to us, he accepted us when everyone else refused, gave us a home, and even treated us to dinner”.

 Vivian expressed while tucked around his arm on the medium-sized bed. 

“ I know, but still we need to be careful, he is a very dangerous man and I do not like the way he looks at Jessica”. 

“ Yes, there is something off about the way he looks at her, but either way, we can't label him dangerous when we haven't seen him do anything dangerous ”.

“ Get to sleep, I will have to join his council tomorrow while you take Jessica over to the pack's college, but you should be careful and alert, not everyone is bound to like us here”.

“ I am fully aware of that, I will make sure to be careful” she replied, he placed a soft kiss on her forehead and clicked on the switch beside the bed and the light went out.
