I shook Kwame’s hands, smiling small as the recognition twinkled in his eyes. I sent a silent message through his eyes to not say anything before shaking his mate’s hands. Her smile made her adult face much brighter and cuter, sending my heart fluttering. Lorelai is so beautiful.

I notice Darien neglected to shake Odessa’s hand. Even Odessa looks uncomfortable in his presence.

“Let us take you to your rooms,” Neron announced as the pack parting to let us through. I didn’t miss the stares burning through the fabric of my shirt, undoubtedly from the Alpha and Beta Female. I ignored it and watched as Valerian guided us to our rooms, passing through the foyer.

My curious eyes noticed the subtle changes to the interior. We passed by the common room, noticeably bigger with young wolves playing Resident Evil 3 on the PlayStation 4. Cooked food wafted through the hallways and Omegas were dusting and cleaning. I smirked as I watched them do the work they forced me to do.

Some stopped to eye us, watching as we passed by. My eyes caught the milky blue orbs of Samantha, now five years older. A twinkle of remembrance shined through her eyes, her pale skin paling impossibly further. Shooting her a knowing smirk, I paid attention back to the pathway towards our rooms on the third floor of

the packhouse.

“Tonight, we are hosting a party to officially introduce your warriors to our pack,” Neron spoke to Anthony. “Your attendance would be most appreciated.”

“Ah, thank you, Neron. It would be a pleasure to meet your members in your soiree. You didn’t have to throw a party on our behalf”

“Nonsense. It’s an occasion noted for celebration.”

I gagged. As if I want to dance and mingle with this godforsaken pack. I’ll do it for Anthony’s sake, but afterward, I’m flipping everyone the bird.

Each of us was given a room, several doors apart on either side of the corridor. I didn’t waste any time walking Into my room and slamming the door behind me, expelling the breath I didn’t know I was holding.

I couldn’t believe I got out of that unscathed.

I press the back of my head against the door, my bag slumping to the ground from my shoulders. The earlier confidence I had back at the lawn vanished, anxiety bubbling up in its place. Why does this always happen to me? Why am I now feeling terrified of these monsters when I should strut through these halls with my head held high? My head in my hands, I groaned softly, my frustration lancing me through the chest and stomach.

I thought this would be easy. But I’ve bitten off more than I could chew. The traumatic memories cloud my vision, playing in my mind like an old movie. I see Neron’s fist hurtling towards my face, I hear Raina’s cackles as she pushes me down the stairs, Odessa’s snarky comments while she hacks out chunks of my hair, and the echoes of the pack members‘ insults bombarding louder than my heartbeat.
