Chapter 5

Alphas office in the picture.

No reason, I just love this song<3

I would like to dedicate this chapter to Lycanthrope_22, thank you for the first votes and comments on my story!

Leila's pov

We were lead inside an office by the Alpha, his Beta trailing behind us. It's a pretty big office with a rustic feel in dark colors, with a big ass wooden desk with wolf carvings along the front. The overall feeling of the room is high on testosterone, but I guess that's to be expected by a big bad Alpha.

Me and Kyle take a seat in chairs in front of the big desk overflowing with papers, while the Alpha sits in a big office chair behind the desk. The Beta remains standing beside his chair, with his arms across his chest like he is trying to show an intimidating stance. But he is not really fooling anyone, although clearly a dangerous man, he would never hurt his Luna. Holy shit!! My brother is the Luna of a pack of werewolves! I was still trying to wrap my head around this little, who am I kidding, HUGE revelation. Looking from my brother to the Alpha it was hard to miss the smoldering looks they were giving each other, the wolf more so than my brother, but he was definitely not unaffected by the whole matebond crap either.

"So, let's start with something easy, shall we?" the Alpha says looking at us both, "Names, and age?" I figure I might as well answer him, cause Kyle is busy ogling him, trying to be stealthy, but he's not being very successful I might add.

"I'm Leila, this is my brother Kyle, we are 19," I tell him.

"Kyle," the guy says and looks like he's having a mini orgasm just saying his name, and judging from Kyles red face I would say the feeling is mutual, "the name suits you." "No last names?"

"Yeah, Leila and Kyle, that's us, and nope, no last names. Do you wanna tell us your names?" I might be a little disrespectful, but come on, info for info, right?

"I'm Anders Patterson, I'm the Alpha of the Moonstone Pack, you might have heard of us? And this is Carl Branson, my Beta" he says pointing to the guy standing next to him. And I sure have heard of the Moonstone Pack, that's considered one of the strongest packs in the Northern Hemisphere. And it's more than clear that Kyle remembers that name too, cause he just visibly paled. Must not like the thought of his Alpha being that big of a deal. Damn, his Alpha, that is so weird!

"From what I know about tigers, you guys don't really like company much, not even family. How come you two run together?" he keeps going.

"Our mother was killed by hunters when we were 4, it just worked out that way. I guess we have a stronger bond than most tiger siblings because we helped each other survive from an early age" I tell him in a matter of factly voice, it's not like we're fishing for sympathy. That's just how it happened. He seems slightly shocked by it though, and I guess it is sort of impressive that we managed to survive on our own from that young an age. But what can I say? We are kinda awesome.

"Alone from age four, that must have been hard," he says with a sad look in his eyes, again mostly directed at my silent brother. "But you seem to be fairly domesticated, if I can use that term, how did you manage that?"

"Domesticated? Yeah, I guess that fits," I say with a slight laugh. "When we got old enough to start school we started sneaking into different schools, we even lived in the basement of a couple of them. We caught enough of the classes to get somewhat literate, and then we 'borrowed' books from libraries and taught ourselves enough to get easy jobs, like waiters and cleaning. But before we got old enough to work we just hunted for food and stole whatever else we needed". "It's easy enough, you just have to know when to leave, if you linger too long in one place people start to notice you. Not to mention they notice that things are going missing".

The Alpha leans back in his seat and looks me in the eyes, "Now I need to know what lead you here, and this is really the story that will be most important to determine if we can grant you free passage into this pack," he is now giving me his undivided attention for the first time since we came into the room.

And so I talk. I give him every detail, from when we arrived in the town, till we bolted out the diner, I tell him about killing the hunter, and thinking we got away, them tracking us down and getting the drop on us in the woods. Jumping in the water and finally clawing our way back to dry land, passing out and me waking up to the asshole that kicked me in the head. He never loses eye contact with me once, so I know he is trying to read my eyes and find out if I'm lying to him. But I'm not, and luckily he seems to realize that.

Both men in front of me get a glazed over look in their eyes, so they are clearly talking to each other over their pack link.

Alpha Aders's pov

"So what do you think?" I ask Carl over our pack link.

"I never saw any signs of deceit coming from her, I'm inclined to believe she's telling the truth," is the answer I get. And I agree, she seems to be honest and open.

"Yeah, that's the impression I got too, and man they are tough kids, not many people could survive the childhood they had," I can feel quite a bit of pride swelling in my chest.

"Yes, we sure are getting a Luna worthy of our pack," he says, making me damn near burst with pride.

"Ok, after discussing it with my Beta we both agree that you seem to be telling us the truth, and I would like to offer you both a place in our pack," I tell them looking at my mate, almost dreading the answer I might get.

"He won't leave, right? Our mate would never leave us, that would kill us. He won't do that to us, will he?" Mads is vining in my head while we wait for our answer. They look at each other and is clearly talking to each other about what they should do.

And for the first time since we got in the room my beautiful mate looks me right in the eyes and graces me with his voice.

"We will stay, for now. I can't guarantee that we will stay here forever, it's not in our nature to stay in one place for too long". The first words that come out of his mouth makes my heart skip a beat with pure happiness, but the second part made both me and my wolf want to ball up in a corner.

"That's okay," Mads says "this just means we have to work extra hard to make him love us as much as we already love him." And I can only agree with him, our mate WILL stay with us, there is no other option.

"But now, I would say it's about time you make good on your promise of food and a shower," he says, with a little smile on his face. I can't help but return the smile. Yes, its time to get out of here, and show my dear mate what he will be missing if he walks away from me and the pack.

Don't be a silent reader, remember to vote, comment and share.

As I'm writing this the first chapter has gotten a whopping ZERO reads, so I'm not holding my breath. But I'm still enjoying the writing, so I'm hoping someone else will enjoy my story too<3
