Chapter 150: Jocelyn’s Arrival

Sophie

Several hours later, we get the announcement that Alpha Zahn and Luna Jocelyn have arrived on our pack lands.

“They’re here,” I say to Nikki and Allison. We head to the front door to greet them, meeting up with our mates, Kinsley, and Lucas as we go.

Hunter and I stand up front. He takes my hand as I feel the nerves starting again. The others stand behind us, providing a unified front. I’m not sure who the unified front is for, Zahn or Jocelyn.

When they pull up, I see Jocelyn in the front seat. Her eyes assess the group of us that have come out to welcome them.

Alpha Zahn gets out of the car first. “Alpha Hunter, Luna Sophie,” he greets before walking around the car.

“Alpha Zahn, welcome to our pack,” Hunter says as Jocelyn opens the door on her side. When Zahn extends a hand to help her, she snarls at him. His teeth snap shut, and his lips press tightly together as he steps back lowering his hand.

I was right about Jocelyn. I’m not sure why she felt the need to stand up out of the car, especially without assistance, but she’s very unsteady on her feet, her body obviously misshapen even under the blousy dress she’s wearing.

“Luna Jocelyn, welcome to our pack,” I say, hoping to start things on a positive note.

Instead of responding, she looks me over, her eyes lingering on my protruding stomach, her lip curling in disgust.

“Some legend you are,” she finally growls, disappointment and disgust obvious in her tone.
