I sit in my room looking at every corner. I have lived here for eighteen years, and now I am leaving because I am a payment for our pack debts. I still cannot accept that this is happening now.
The First Beta of SilverMoon might be here any minute now, but I don't have the strength to pack my things. I sob while hugging my favorite pillow. It was given to me by my dad. He said that Mom made it when I was a baby. I wish you were here Mom. The door slowly opens and my best friend Tyler enters my room. He is the First Beta's son and soon to be First Beta of our pack. He is also friends with my brother.
"Hey Piggy, stop crying." He said as he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead. That's what he's doing when I cried.
"I'm leaving today, Ty and it hurts. It really hurts." I said hugging him. I wish we were mates. But he said that he can't smell the scent of potential bond between us. Males know when they found the right she-wolf for them. It's the scent of women that makes them crazy and turns the motion of the earth for them. While us, women, can sense the prestige of a man. That's drowned us to them until they court us and accept them to be our mate.
"I know Piggy. Dad told me. I told him to fight for you but the safety of our pack comes first." He said.
“That’s true. I hate the consequence of their help to us." I said slightly pulling away from his hug.
“Then run, you can run from this and live your own life," he suggested.
“No! I'm not going to do that. I love this pack, I'm sure that Alpha Kayden will kill all of you if I run away." I said picking my bag to start packing. My heart broke apart over and over again as I put my clothes one by one in my bag. I had never been away from my family for too long. Actually, I had never left SnowMoon pack since birth.
"I will call you every day when you get there. Promise me to answer my texts and calls." He said.
"You know I will Ty. I will miss you and our endless movie marathon every day." I said smiling to him. He really has a huge part in my heart.
"I will wait for your reply then." He answered. A knock on the door stops me from putting my pants inside the bag. Tyler opens the door and I see Amanda, one of our servants.
"Lady Adellee, Alpha Elliot sent me here to inform you that the First Beta of SilverMoon pack has already arrived, and he expects you to be ready by now." Amanda informed me.
"Okay Amanda, just tell Dad that I'll be there in a minute." I said. Putting the last clothes I need to bring. I also pack my tools in healing. I am a healer of this pack, though we also have two more healers here.
"Yes, Lady Adellee." She said before closing the door by herself. That First Beta is surely punctuated. He is on time. I turn to look at Ty.
"Hey big guy, stop pitying me and start to help me with my bags." I said while laughing.
“You're leaving me here then you want me to help you? No! You can help yourself." Tyler said but he grabbed my bags and led the way to my father’s office. A scent of pine with honey hit me when we entered the room.
Dexter is there with my father, First Beta Martin and Third in command Arthur. I see the First Beta of SilverMoon but his back is to me. I can feel his power and prestige. I can't help but feel too little when he stands up and turns to look at me.
"Adelle, this is the First Beta Jaxson of SilverMoon pack." Father introduced Jaxson to me. This First Beta is a good looking guy. Tall and handsome, but something tells me that he is dangerous. He looks at me and bow a little.
Wow! Very noble of him, I say to myself. The SilverMoon pack is the total opposite of my pack. There is no snow there. It is surrounded by forest and mountains. Based on the map our ancestors provided, SilverMoon is twice the size of our pack.
"Nice meeting you First Beta Jaxson." I said but didn't bow to him. I am an Alpha’s daughter. I bow only to my father and other Alphas.
"The pleasure is mine, Lady Adellee." He said.
"Alpha Elliot, I think we need to leave now. Alpha Kayden is waiting for our arrival this evening and I think Lady Adellee is ready to go." He said to my father. Father looked at me with some sadness in his eyes.
He walks to me and hugs me for the last time. Dexter looks at me, silently standing near the window of our dad's office. He simply smiles at me, but I know he doesn't want me to go. Jaxson carries my bags and follows us outside. He has three cars waiting for us. He puts my things inside and tells me to go inside.
I obey him and give one final look to my dad and baby brother before I ride inside the car. Everyone is looking at me, like they are happy that I made the right decision and helped them.
The ride inside the car is silent. The First Beta didn’t bother to talk to me and he is just reading some book. I looked around inside the Limo and decided to take one of the books to his side. But before I can get it, they suddenly stop and I fall into his lap. Oh gracious! I look at him at the same time he looks at me. Face to face, he's not showing any emotion. I feel embarrassed as I get up.
"Glen what happened?!" Jaxson shouted to the driver.
"I'm sorry Jaxson, there's a hole in the road that I did not see." Glen said.
"Next time watch out and be careful." He said.
"I-I'm sorry about the----”
"It's nothing." He said tossing me the space I intended to get before the incident happened.
"Thank you." I said. Blushing. Shit! That's so embarrassing. I almost touched his grrrrr! So embarrassing. I looked away and started to read the book until I fell asleep.
