"Sihana Asena." I was staring at Cahir who had an indiscernible expression on his face. "You have arrived."
The minute the plane landed on Alpha Blood pack, I felt both cold and heat rush through me. One could tell the strength of a pack's Alpha from the ambience of their land. I had gotten used to the ambience in Silver Moon pack but once I stepped foot on Alpha Blood, I felt power slam into me.
At the airport, I could tell who belonged in Alpha Blood and who did not. The Alpha Blood members moved around with natural grace while the rest of us trod with care and caution, overwhelmed by the power in the atmosphere.
Now, I stared at the man whose power made the air stifling.
"Alpha Cahir Perseus." I had arrived and I felt nothing but deep loathing in the depths of my heart. While my wolf purred in satisfaction at being close to her mate once again, the human in me felt nothing but anger sprinkled with anguish.
"Follow me." He turned and walked into a ginormous house even larger than the pack house in Silver Moon.
The inside of the house was decorated with gold and white. A line of people stood at the sides of the entrance with their heads bowed. These people ranged from alphas to omegas but all wore white and black uniforms.
"Welcome." They said in a resounding chorus as we entered, walking past their created pathway.
At the end of the dozens of people bowing was Aristo with a man and woman standing on either side of him.
"You're here." Aristo beamed at me. He took a step forward with his arms open for a hug but Cahir blocked him with a faint rumble emitting from his chest. "Welcome to Alpha Blood pack." He said to me with a grin. "Cahir was insufferable without you."
"Enough!" Cahir barked. "Lauretta, Antonio, this is Sihana, my mate. You will show her around and help her settle in." He spoke to the two people standing by Aristo. The man and woman bowed so low as if they were trying to bend into two.
"Welcome, Luna Sihana." They both chorused. "We have prepared a room next to the Alpha's for you," the woman said.
"She will be staying with me," he deadpanned. The people paled but nodded without another word. Cahir turned to me with a ticked-off expression on his face. "Rest, you must have had a long trip. I have a meeting to attend so I'll see you in an hour." He beckoned Aristo to him and they both left me standing there, staring at the people tasked to help me settle in.
"I don't have any luggage," I said when the people continued to stare at me, no doubt expecting me to take the lead with the conversation. These people called me Luna – My skin tingled as I remembered how the word 'Luna' sounded put before my name.
Since I was all but kidnapped from my pack, I had no luggage. Technically, I was not kidnapped as Kamal and his gang graciously offered to let me go if I didn't want to leave Silver Moon. They told me they would deal with the consequences of failing a mission but they were too kind for me to put them through that hassle. I hadn't even had any means of identification for flight but they made some calls while driving at a neck-breaking speed and after six hours of driving, we met up with a dude that provided me with an identification card from Silver Moon.
"The Alpha anticipated that. He hired people to do some shopping for you. They should be here in two hours or so." The woman said. She was a short, greying woman with kind eyes that made me relax.
"I am Beta Lauretta, the head of the maids here. You can call me Laura. This is Alpha Antonio, the butler. We all call him Tony." She gestured to the tall wiry man at her side.
An alpha as a butler and a beta who looked like she came from old money as a maid in what could only be described as a castle.
"Nice to meet you both." My voice trembled as I spoke. "Is this – Is this the pack house?"
