Last night when I had been roaming around these packlands, it had felt much different if I had to compare it to now. It was almost as if the pack had been alive with strangers, like the scent of not belonging had been everywhere in the air. It had felt completely normal for me, and I hadn't even thought twice about the fact that I would be considered as a rogue here until we had been initiated into the pack. But now, as I approached the pack house, I could not help but acknowledge the fact that I was hyper aware of it. I did not know what I was feeling, but it wasn't very pleasant. I wanted nothing more than to be able to turn around and go right back where we came from, but I knew that that was something that wasn't going to be happening any time soon. As much as I wanted to pretend that this was not the best thing to do, I knew that there was only so much that could go wrong. After all, we were literally with the Alpha. Anyone who dared to do anything without questioning their own

"I'm not entirely sure on whether or not I'll be able to pull it off just yet, but I'm hoping to finish the preparations for the initiation ceremony today. That way, I won't need to worry about supervising all of you while you are out of the house.' We were currently on the way back to my house, once again, with Arthur walking ahead of us. He looked like he was in his own world, like his spirits had definitely been lifted in comparison to the way that they had been when we had been on the way back to the packhouse. I didn't realise that breakfast was such an important part of his day. But then again, he was a growing child. I did not have much experience with them, but when I had been young, I had practically eaten everything in the house. Perhaps he was the same. Luckily, I had arranged for some supplies to be delivered to our house later today. I didn't know whether or not it would be enough to sustain them for the entire week, but I did think that it wou

"I just don't think that we're going to have the man-power, or even the resources to finish the construction of an entire cottage in the span of a week. You know just as well as we do, that we barely would have finished within the two week mark. Why is there this sudden rush?" I couldn't blame my Gamma for asking all of the questions that she was asking. She had always been on top of things, and during the last few weeks that we hadn't had a Beta, she had filled the role quite well, making sure that we did not feel the loss or the lack of a male second in command. Her opinion was one that I had grown to value and respect, and it was one of the reasons why I was so adamant on making sure that she was in complete agreement with what we were going to do from here on forward. "It's for my own peace of mind. As it turns out, their daughter is insufferable, and having her in my house for weeks on end is something that isn't going to bode well for my temper when it

I slammed the door shut as I entered the house, uncaring about the fact that I would be bound to attract the attention of my father and my mother. At this point in time, with the way that I was feeling, I was more than prepared to face them and whatever was left of their temper. I was willing to dish out my own spoon of emotions as well, because I was not going to deal with them. That was not the way that things were going to work this time around. I had walked away earlier, because I had hoped to avoid causing more trouble than all of this was worth, but it was too late for that now. I felt like I had had majority of my organs bruised in one way or another, and I wanted to take it out on someone. After all, I wouldn't have left the house if it hadn't been for the way that they had been treating me. Just as I had been expecting, it took no more than a few moments for my father to make his appearence, coming out of the dining room, which was further down the

I heard a door close somewhere in the distance, and without doubt, and knew that it was Samantha. I didn’t know how to explain it, but it was like every atom, every fibre of my being, was so in tuned with her that I knew where she was and what she was doing without even having to think about it. I knew there was something that wasn’t exactly normal, but that was why I was doing what I was doing. As much as I wanted to get her parents out of my house, I wanted to keep her in it. And I knew that this wasn’t the right way to do things, but it was the only way that I could think of. Gwen was on her way. I had already communicated everything that was going on to her through the mind link while it was happening, so I knew that would only be a matter of sign before she removed my beta from my house.If he decided to take his family with him, it would be exactly what I wanted. I needed to go and speak to Samantha, and make sure that she understood th
