Chapter 105
The pack members eyed me warily as I stood frozen in my tracks Arthur put his hand on my back and gently nudged met
forward.
“They are not going to bite you. Go on,”
I gave him a nervous smile as he cleared his throat.
“She is Eden Willow, now a member of our pack. Please welcome her” He said, and a tense silence followed suit. The pack members kept looking at each other and nobody said a word.
The feeling that this had been a bad idea kept intensifying, and I debated walking back out of the gate.
I hesitantly raised one of my hand and waved at them all. Still, there was no reaction I looked worriedly at Arthur, who murmured
“Oh I should have told you this before. Eros never took in a new member in the pack under any circumstances. That was his rule
My eyes grew wide as saucers as I looked at him and said through gritted teeth.
Then you should have told me that before bringing me here.”
Anthar shrugged. “Well, I didn’t think you would last even a day. He never took anyone, so I believed he would drive you off in hours the first day you were brought in
I made a face. “Thanks for the motivation” Arthur scratched the back of his head as I whispered, “Why does lie never take anybody in?”
But before Arthur could answer, an elderly woman stepped forward. She was wearing a pale black dress and had wrinkles on her face.
Her hair was tied behind in a messy bun and there were a few necklaces and bracelets upon her person.
The elderly woman stepped forward, a stick in her hand that she used to slowly walk forward. I gulped nervously as she kept coming closer.
I wanted to step back, but Arthur muttered low in his breath to keep still. And I did that,
The woman came and stood directly in front of me while Arthur mumbled, “Hello Elder Ruth, how are you doing today?”
However, Elder Ruth did not say a word to him. She kept staring at me and then slowly began circling me while observing me from head to toe.
Once, she even poked at my legs, startling me, but I sensed the watchful gazes of all the pack members on me, so I kept quiet
When she completed her slow circle around me, she came to stand in front of me again and titled her head.
“What is your name!”
Arthur interrupted before I could open my mouth “She is Eden
However, Elder Ruth raised her hand and showed him her that hand to indicate him to shut up. He promptly did as she
looked at me.
Her voice was sharp and clear for her age, though I was not entirely sure what age bracket would she fit in.

“H–Hello, my
is Eden Willow,” I answered and Elder Ruth grunted.
“What pack did you belong to?”
“Silvermoon pack”

“Never heard of it before,” she mumbled, mostly to herself.
“It is one of the smaller packs down North.” I supplied, but she only groaned again in response.
She then put her hand on my chin and moved my face to the left and then to the right, examining me. I was stunned.
My gaze flicked to the other pack members who were only standing and watching curiously, probably waiting for her judgement that I was not a spy or something.
Elder Ruth did some more poking, caught a strand of my hair in her hand and took a whiff followed by other odd things that I only kept watching in confusion before she finally took a step back from me.
Placing her stick on the ground, she looked at me and took a lengthy pause as I felt everybody wait for her verdict with a hated breath.
After what felt like an eternity, she finally spoke, “Welcome home.”
Whatever she said next was drowned in a melody as everybody just ran towards me and began cheering and clapping loudly,
Everything was happening too fast. And when then when their mitial excitement subsided, the crowd thinned while my eyes fell on Elder Ruth, who was still looking at me with curiosity.
She motioned for me to follow her and she began walking towards a huge structure that I assumed was the
It was a big building made of wood and brick with several rooms that would probably serve as guest rooms, or maybe people lived there for all I knew,
Arthur was tailing behind and he too entered the empty room that only had a few chairs and some extra furniture.
Elder Ruth sat on one of the chair and motioned for me to sit on one in front. of her.
Arthur tried to suppress a chuckle, and he gave my hand a reassuring squeeze as he walked out, closing the door.
I pushed back a lock of hair that was falling on my face and replied, “Hmm, My Father offered me to him.”
Elder Ruth raised an eyebrow. “Is that the only reason?”
