Chapter 7

It has been a year since Gesibelle and Drew joined the pack I can still remember their reaction when they first saw the mansion that me and the kids lived in.

Flashback

"Is this really were you live "Gesibelle whispered in wonder clutching Drew's arm tightly.

"Yeah isn't it cool" Evan shouted running around the living room jumping on the cream sofas that surrounded a plasma TV.

"Do you work for the mob or something how do you afford this" Drew said breathlessly.

I turned to look towards them and saw that they were still standing in the entrance scared of stepping inside and it vanishing before their eyes.

"One thing my pack didn't know about was what I did when I went out they couldn't really control me because I had to go and buy groceries for them. While I was out I use to take a visit to this run down computer shop were I used to write". I said while musing over the long journey I had to take to get to that computer shop.

"But that still doesn't explain how you're so wealthy" Gesibelle questioned confusion setting on her face.

"Well ..... have you ever heard of a book series called Hunters? "I asked to Gesibelle.

"OMG yes I have that is like the most amazing book I have ever read I mean I love the main character she is just so kickass". Gesibelle squealed towards me.

" Errrrr ....... well ...I ... um kind of wrote the books" I whispered knowing that Gesibelle would hear due to our increased wolf hearing.

A look of shock passed over Gesibelle's face then disbelief and finally understanding running towards me she started squealing and jumping with a worried Drew behind her.

"OMG really you're like books are so amazing you have to give me your autograph."

Drew saw how uncomfortable I was and decided to intervene "Gesibelle sweetheart we don't want to kill her with your hugs the first time you meet her especially since she's our alpha".

Gesibelle quickly let go of me and stepped back a frightened expression crossing her face " I'm so sorry please don't send us away" she whimpered.

"Why would I do that you were just hugging me don't worry I'm not like your old alpha I want us to be friends rather than you be my servant please call me Leila none of this alpha business it's really uncomfortable". I smiled hoping she understood that I wanted a friend rather than someone who simply did everything I asked them to do.

Gesibelle smiled "okay but if I call you Leila you have to call me belle okay".

"Okay" I said my first friend life is getting better.

Flashback over

I smiled remembering how excited they had been when i showed them around the house and gave them two connecting rooms. One for them and the other for when the baby would arrive.

They both were weary at first but had taken to life with me, Evan and Elise quite well the kids were happy to have Drew to play with. They couldn't wait for the new baby to arrive.

Many things had happened during the year one was we had added new members to our pack and we were expanding quite a lot. Drew had straight away started teaching me the inner workings of a pack and how to fight in wolf form. As for my human form I had taken time to enroll in karate and Tae kwon do classes.

Two months after we had all settled together we had a group of rouges trespass on our territory me and Drew went to check it out. It was a family here were three teenagers and two adults.

After a few growls from me and my wolf they showed me their necks and submitted showing my authority as alpha. I told them to tell me their story and what I heard had me on the edge of going on a killing spree.

The teenager's one girl the other two boys were scared out of their mind I did not like to see such fear on their faces but I had to know why they had trespassed.

The older man that looked to be the father of one of the boys and the girl squeezed his mates hand and stepped forward to tell their tale.

They had belonged to the Shiatus pack which was a cruel pack to those who did not follow the orders of the alpha. He was the beta and his son Daniel had turned 16 the age where you can find your mate.

He had found out that Trevor the third in commands son was his mate. They tried to keep it a secret but the alpha found out and tried to put them into a forced mating with two other girls for they did not accept homosexuals in there pack.

After both refused to do so they were both tortured one at a time in front of one another. Trevor's family were disgusted with him for wanting to be with a male and had disowned him and both were to be put to death.

Whilst in the dead of night Daniels father Mick and his mate Vicky and their daughter Melody broke them out of the holding cells.

They all ran and managed to escape out of their territory and have been running ever since looking for a pack that would take them in but all refused to even listen to Mick because he was rouge.

When Mick had finished speaking all was silent I had looked in their eyes and saw the truth in their words. I had asked them if they wished they could join our pack they looked shocked but had agreed with smiles and tears freely flowing down their cheeks.

After word spread of a pack led by a compassionate alpha that was willing to take in rouges who told their story. Soon enough the mansion was packed full of voices with new members every month.

We had expanded I mean I had the money. Also due to this influx of members we also had experienced wolves like pack doctors and teachers all sorts. This proved helpful when Gesibelle had her baby it turned out to be a beautiful little girl they named Bella.

Many of the new members had stories similar to Mick and his family it made me disgusted to see how these wolfs were treated. It was horrendous and I would not allow it to go unquestioned.

I had sent a letter to the werewolf counsel informing them of the situation and they had written back that they would like to meet me and my pack for answers.

That is also when our initiation as a pack would be recognised by the counsel.

This would lead to the present were Drew my beta and Mick my third in command were discussing pack issues. When we realised that our pack did not have a name and that when our pack of 213 wolves would be initiated we would need a name. This is why we were all debating them with mugs of coffee me with my hot chocolate on the name.

"How about the Fiatus pack "Drew suggested.

"No that sounds like a dog's name what about shadow pack" Mick said proudly.

"Sorry but that names already taken Mick" Drew pulled his tongue out to Mick who repeated the gesture.

I sighed these were the moments were I wondered why I had chosen them as my beta and third in command. They were both in their 30's and still acted like children my wolf answered the ongoing question in my head.

It is because they are strong and have been through much but have never disrespected us even though we are only 16. They are worthy enough to hold such positions in our pack.

I agreed with my wolf even though they could sometimes be childish they were always there when needed or to offer a helping hand.

I realised I had zoned out and they were still continuing their ranting of what the pack should be named.

"Boys we have less than 2 days to decide a name for our pack before the wolf council and the elders arrive can you stop bickering" I said exasperated.

They stopped realising the situation there was a few moments of silence when it came to me.

"Our pack will be called the Locus pack" I said decidedly.

"Alpha Leila may I ask why you chose that as the name" Mick asked with confusion written on both his and Drew's face.

"Locus means chance in Latin it only seems appropriate don't you think since this pack has been giving everyone a second chance at life even me" I stated calmly pleased with the name.

Both men looked at one another and turned to me nodding and smiling.

"We think it's a great name Leila especially for this pack "Drew spoke while Mick nodded his head in approval.

"Then it is decided, we should prepare before .... " before i could finish a loud BANG resonated through the room.

Our heads whipped towards the office door were Trevor stood trying to catch his breath.

"Trevor what's happened" I asked urgently ready to defend my pack already rising out of my seat.

Trevor stood straight bowed his head to me then Drew and Mick then spoke " Alpha they are here, the wolf council and elders have arrived".
