“Yo! This place is lit!!” Justin shouted
“Oh my god! Check out that lake!!” Natalie exclaimed. “Are we allowed to go there?” she asked Angelo
“Of course,” he replied. “That gate we just came through is the start of the Blue Lake territory. Everything beyond that gate and within the walls of these mountains belongs to us. This is our territory, and you are more than welcome to roam around freely,” we all started to cheer, and everyone started to talk at the same time about going swimming in the summer, having parties, and barbeques.
“Angelo, what are these small cottage looking houses?” I asked.
“Those are pack member cottages,”
“They’re so adorable!” Lisa said cupping her hands to her face.
“IS THAT A f*****g CASTLE!?!” one of the girls whose name I don’t know screamed. We all looked ahead and sure enough, there was a f*****g castle.
“WHOA!!” we all shouted.
“Hahaha! Yes, it is a castle,”
“Who lives in there? Is that part of the pack territory too?” Justin asked.
“It is, that’s where all of the ranked members live,”
“Ranked members?” Lisa asked c*****g her head.
“Right, I forgot you guys are newborns,” Angelo said. “The ranked members are exactly that, those have a rank. That includes the Alpha, his mate, the Luna, the second in command, or the Beta, and his mate, the Beta female, who also happens to be the Alpha’s younger sister, the third in command, also know as a Gamma, and his mate, the Gamma female, and all of their family members,” “Where do you live?” I asked him.
“I live in the castle, but that’s because my twin sister is the Gamma female. So, my mate Michelle and I live on the second floor. But, the castle is open to any pack member to come and go as they please. The doors are never locked because the Alpha wants every pack member to come and go freely,”
“So, are we allowed to go in and out also?” one of the guys in the back who I don’t know asked.
“Of course, after today, all of you will be honorary pack members of Blue Lake,” Angelo answered, and everyone started to high five each other.
“I wonder what kind of pack Golden Moon is,” I said out loud.
“Golden Moon isn’t as big as ours, but Richard has a territory of great size in the middle of the forest, and has the same concept as us,”
“Are there rules to the castle that we have to follow?” Justin asked.
“Not really, the only rule there really is to never go into any of the occupied rooms without permission. There is no reason for anyone to go up the stairs in all honesty. The first floor has everything you want, gym, spa, recreation room, indoor pool, movie theatre, library, large living room, and of course, the kitchen and dining rooms,”
“Dining rooms? As in plural,” I asked.
“Yup! There’s the main dining room for the ranked members and their family members, and then you have the commons dining room for other pack members who want to hang out,” we were all still admiring everything the territory had to offer when we pulled up in front of the castle. It was definitely a lot bigger than I thought. One by one we started to pile out of the van and stood in a straight horizontal line.
We were all gawking at the building in front of us, no one saying a single word,
“Well, I guess all of you are impressed with your new home,” we all looked in front of us and saw the Alpha. “How about we all head inside to the conference room, and we can talk about details, living arrangements, rules, and you can also meet the other ranked members,” he didn’t even wait for a reply and turned to head inside. We all followed after him in a single file line, and as soon we entered, my mouth dropped, and so did everyone else’s. I didn’t even have a chance to take in everything when someone called my name,
“KELSEY!!!” I looked towards the stairs.
“VICTOR!?!” he ran towards us and those of us who knew him engulfed him in a group hug. Even though we all had only known each other for a short period of time, we had all bonded over the fact that we were all kidnapped.
“Holy f**k! I can’t believe you guys are actually here! When I was told someone of you guys were going to be coming here, I couldn’t believe it, but seeing you guys, oh man!” Victor started to ramble. Some of the girls who he had practically kept safe before he was taken away were crying holding onto him. “Is it true?” he asked while pulling away from us, “Did that other pack turn you guys into werewolves?”
“They did,” I replied. “Unfortunately, not everyone survived the bite,”
“What about Brent? Hannah? Amrita?”
“Brent and Hannah went to another pack called Golden Moon. Amrita…” I couldn’t say the words, and just shook my head.
“I’m sorry you guys, I wish I could have helped save everyone faster,” he said and hung his head.
“Victor, there was nothing you could have done, but it was because of you that Alpha Wyatt eventually found us. You surviving is what led to our freedom,” Lisa said.
“She’s right, Victor. You don’t have to apologize, this wasn’t your fault,” I added in.
“Victor,” we turned around and saw the Alpha staring at us. “Please bring everyone to the conference room, you all can catch up later after they are all situated,”
“Sure thing, Wyatt,” Victor led us down a long corridor and into a humungous room that had a long rectangular table that could fit thirty people. We all sat close to each other and Wyatt was at the head of the table with Lorenzo and several others.
“Alright, I want to first and foremost welcome all of you to your new home, the Blue Lake Pack,” Wyatt said. “I know that all of you went through something terrible and watched many of your friends die, and I’m sorry that I couldn’t save you all before that happened. I’m just glad that we were able to save those of you that remained. I know that your lives have all been turned upside down, having been turned into werewolves, but rest assured, that my pack is a safe place to live. At least, I try to make it as safe as possible. Before we get into rules, laws, and living arrangements, I want everyone to meet the rest of the ranked members. The leadership of this pack. As all of you know by now, I’m Wyatt, the Alpha of this pack,”
“Hello, everyone, I’m Wyatt’s mate and the Luna of the pack. My name is Megan,”
“For those of you who have hadn’t a chance to meet me, my name is Kendrick, I’m the second in command, also known as the Beta,” something was off about him. This didn’t seem like the same Kendrick that I met before.
“Hi, everyone, my name is Melody. I’m Kendrick’s mate and Wyatt’s younger sister. I’m the Beta female,”
“Good afternoon, my name is Jason, I am the Gamma or third in command, and this lovely lady to my left is my mate and the Gamma female,”
“Hey, you guys, welcome to Blue Lake. My name is Milan. You all already met my twin brother, Angelo,” we all said our hellos, and introduced ourselves one at a time. Once we had gone all around the table, Alpha Wyatt went straight into rules and laws we have to follow being werewolves, and inner pack laws that we also had to follow so we never got kicked out.
It was a lot to remember, but he assured us as time went on, we would learn as we went and that pack members will help us get acclimated to our new lives. After politics, he went into living arrangements, and surprisingly, we all got to have our own cottage within the territory. He did his best to accommodate all of us to be close to each other. We found out that Victor was currently living in the castle, but now that we were all here, he asked to be moved into a cottage to be close to the rest of us.
