The happy Beta left me in what was to be my new room to get settled and wandered off with my Dad at his heels giving him a hard time it sounded like. I am sure by the time he had allocated him a room he would be ready to throw my Dad from the stairway, because he truly seemed to be enjoying riling the Beta up. Though, his miserable face did seem to have forgotten what a smile actually was, so my Dad likely saw that as a challenge.

I threw m

my bags down in the corner of the room with the intention of sorting through them tomorrow, as my eyes were already beginning to droop. The late drive had been far from ideal, but I was finally here now. My fresh start could begin. I just dreaded what the outcome would be when Miles discovered. I was gone, but I planned to speak to Luna Eden tomorrow and explain my predicament, asking that they give me some form of protection at least. If not, at least I would have given them a heads-up of any potential trouble from Miles if he decided to come here to cause issues, which I could only hope he wouldn’t..

But, for now, it was time to sleep. Because, just as the cheerful ball of sunshine of a Beta had so kindly pointed out, I looked knackered, and I needed some decent sleep, and that was exactly what I planned to do, as soon as I had got myself washed and sorted.

The following morning. I was awoken by a hammering at my bedroom door. I rubbed my eyes in

to try

to waken myself, wondering momentarily where the hell I was, then remembered the new pack, and instantly felt brighter. I will be seeing the Luna today and being shown around my new home. The knocking at the door was relentless, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was my Dad coming to find me to say goodbye. I quickly slipped from the comfortable refine of the bed, and plodded over to the door.

Opening the door sleepily, I was shocked to see the Beta from last night standing there, looking just as cheerful as he did last night. What the hell did he want? I simply looked at him through half dead eyes. truly lost for words.

“Shut the door. Akira grumbled. “He is bad enough when we are awake, let alone half asleep’

“Oh, I am sorry, did I wake you?” Beta Asher said, I would like to say politely, but I am certain there was sarcasm in his tone. Akira’s suggestion of shutting the door on him was becoming more tempting by the minute. I have to admit.

“What gave you that idea?” I replied, not even trying to hide my sarcasm, and this time he actually did smile, though it was the tiniest smile, but I am certain his face might c**k if he smiled properly.

“What was that? Akira chuckled. Did he malfunction or is he having a stroke? I swear he almost

smiled!”

I really have to fight the smile forming on my lips because I do not want to be explaining to him why I am smiling, as he looks at me with curiosity. I can’t imagine I was the best of sights, in small black jersey shorts, and a gray tank top that I wore to bed, and my long dark hair in disarray. I likely looked like I had been dragged through a hedge backwards. But, in all honesty, I didn’t care what the cheery Beta thought of me, if he didn’t want to see me in a mess, he shouldn’t turn up at my door when he likely knew I would be in bed. Feb…..

“Well, perhaps you would like to sort yourself out and make yourself more presentable, and I will take you down for breakfast, Miss West?” he said curly

Make myself more presentable? Wow this guy keeps coming with the insults. I know I look rough, but 1 had literally just woken up. Besides, why is he taking me for breakfast? I thought Luna Eden was spending the day with me? I could feel my face frowning in confusion without even intending to, and he raised his eyebrows at me as if in distaste. This man seemed to have a whole range of facial expressions displaying p**d-off and angry emotions… he would definitely regret that when he was older and left with some serious frown lines…

“Oh, that idea not up to your liking?” he says with a dirty look.

‘No, but he is definitely not up to my liking. Akira mutters, as she lays curled up within my mind. trying to settle.

“I believe I am meant to be seeing Luna Eden today? I suggested, hoping that might remind him of the plans he told me of last night.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He laughs, and it is quite a dry, sarcastic laugh, making me scowl at him. “Oh, you think I decided to wake up and think a wonderful way to start my day would be to es

the new girl to breakfast? Sorry

to disappoint you, Miss West. It ain’t my sort of thing I do have better things to do with my time, you know? Luna Eden is struggling with the latter stages of pregnancy and is quite unwell today. Alpha Caleb has had to take her to the pack hospital to be checked over, so I have been allocated to take over your induction. Is that an issue?”

My heart drops at his words. He makes me out to be desperate to spend time with him, like he believed I had thought he had chosen to come and take me for breakfast. D**n, I can’t imagine this jolly f**r would want to have breakfast with anyone… Perhaps Satan, going off the look in his eyes… I imagine they would get on well! But his words make me feel like I have thought the wrong thing about expecting Luna Eden here, when that was what he told me was happening, only last night! And then he made me feel like an inconvenience too! Like I actually wanted this… Eurgh, he was going to be infuriating!

“Never too late to close the door on him’ Akira muttered sleepily, telling me she had chosen to give up listening to him now. Wish I could take the same option…..

“No, not an issue, just different to what you had told me was happening last night.” I said with a forced smile, trying so hard to be polite.

SOTT

“Oh, I thought as a teacher you would be able to cope with the unexpected. Are you going to yourself out then? That way I can show you to the dining hall before they stop serving breakfast. I could do with a coffee.” He says sharply.

“Too f**g right he could! Akira chuckled. ‘By the bucket load.”

I ignored my wolf’s snarky comments, though, in all fairness, she wasn’t wrong, he seemed to have missed a fair few coffees, considering his mood. But, how he expected me to get sorted with him. standing there, I do not know, I gave him a short glance. “Well, I won’t be getting ready with you. standing there, will ?”

“You are able to close the door, you know? It is quite a clever invention, once you open it, you are able to close it again.” He says, and again I am sure that little t**kle of amusement resides within those green eyes of his at his words. “But, 1 shall wait over there.” He signals to the edge of the staircase, so I nod, closing the door. Already dreading spending the day with the strange man. I now have the
