Chapter 45
Anabelle smiled at me kindly, but there was something sad about that smile. It’s like she knew something I didn’t know, but I ignored that thought. I was just being paranoid again. “It’s nice to finally meet you, Anabelle.”
“It’s nice to finally put a face to all the great stories I’ve heard about you from Sophie here and a few pack members. Word travels fast. I’m sorry about your loss, though,” she said with a frown.
I smiled at her—she seemed like a really nice person. “It’s okay, Anabelle. I’m just trying to leave the past behind and move on.”
Anabelle nodded with a smile that reached her eyes, brushing her pale white, flawless manicured hand through her extremely long straightened red hair—it literally reached her ass. It was thick with volume, and her fringe suited her so well.
She looked like a Vogue magazine model, with her slim body dressed in a bold red summer dress and green wedges. “You can call me Bella. I’m happy you’re moving on, and you smell just like Jake now,” she said quietly. There was something off about the last part of her statement—the way she said Jake’s name so casually made my beast want to growl out loud at her, but I pushed her back. There was no need to be jealous. Bella seemed harmless, and she was definitely not Rebecca.
“Let’s have some breakfast. I bet you’re hungry from all the activity you did last night with the Alpha,” Sophie said bluntly, making me want to melt away and disappear from embarrassment. Bella didn’t laugh or smile at the comment—maybe she was just deep in thought.
We all helped each other make bacon, eggs, sausages, toast with melted cheese, and some freshly squeezed orange juice. It felt so good preparing breakfast with these females. My wolf was happy, but she was still unsure about Bella. Bella was nice, but there was something off about her.
“So, Bella, you’re staying in Scotland? How is it over there? I’ve always wanted to visit, but I never really got a chance, especially after everything,” I asked.
Bella smiled while swallowing her toast. “Scotland is nice, beautiful, full of culture, and has great wolves. We live deep within the lands as a pack. We’re very into the old tradition. Jake is taking over—that’s part of the reason why we’re here. He’s moving there since the Silverstone pack is expanding—”
"What!?"I almost choked on my bacon at the news,moving again. He never told me,I calmed myself down and spoke again "What do you mean Jake is moving,what about his pack here?"
"Oh don't you worry we are all moving to the highlands,king Zaviaric will be keeping an eye on the rest of the packs in New Orleans. This land is too small for us anyways,Silverstone is a constantly growing pack and we need more land which is up in Scotland.It is his actual birthright to rule those lands,he owns Scotsnight pack and every property on the Avalon land.If we stay here our population will outgrow this property and we can't go asking random nearby packs to take in some of our numbers. Our Alpha has great pride and he will not abondon his people. Plus he needs to move for his people in Scotland as well,they are very eager to have their Alpha at home."Sophie explained with pride.I understood now,Jake was doing this for his people and I had to support him as a mate.
I nodded,"So he is going to merge the two packs,how does each pack feel about that?"
"Scotsnight is okay with that as long as their Alpha is there with them.After the council removed our previous Alpha Amanidel because he wasn't the rightful heir to the title everyone was so pleased. He was a cruel spineless man. Afraid of anything and the Scottish wolves are wild and viscous creatures living by nature's laws. We need an Alpha with our blood running through his veins and that's Alpha Jake. The fact that stories of him and his hybrid beast have spread viral just make our people crave their rightful king even more."Bella said with a grin.
It all made sense now,Bella was in every way Scottish with her viscious red hair and green eyes,she was like a wild fire-I could see that. Would I even fit in with the Scot's.I was beginning to get a little frightened by the idea of living in the forest with wildlings.
I sighed "wow he sounds like a legend amongst your people."I commented,Jake sure did have wild blood running through his veins. I could see it clearly through his orange bloody eyes and that sinister dangerous smirk he always has on him. Even his height and body fit for a Greek God proved it all,he was in every way intimidating,wild but careful and calculating at the same time. Every move he made was clever and had a purpose-an aim-a goal.
"He is a legend,just like his parents were.He has the longest history alive you know. A long twisted one but Avalon is his and he will take it rightfuly.I am just glad our people are finally in the right hands."she said eating her half done eggs somehow they disgusted me. I just wanted them fully cooked not dripping all over my plate.
"I am glad we are finally going to be together again,I missed you so much!"Sophie said with a huge smile and I smiled too.
Her happiness was contagious but my smile dropped when I felt him through our bond,he felt angry, conflicted,regretful and disturbed at the same time.I felt him when he reached the kitchen with another red headed lady who looked a bit like Bella but she had brown eyes and a giant man with a rugged look. He would be the very definition of a Scot's man straight from the wild with bright green clever eyes and a large braided beard .
Jake looked annoyed as hell and he didn't even look at me when they entered the kitchen.The woman with a short pixie red hairstyle smiled "hello I am Elsa,Bella's mother and a member of the lycan council."she introduced herself and I smiled at her although her smile didn't seem genuine but I ignored it.
"It is nice to meet you Elsa,I am-"
"Priscilla ofcourse ,the hybrid witch."she finished after cutting me off and a growl escaped my mouth before I could catch it,my beast was pissed that she did not even identify us as our Alphas mate.
Marcus looked at me with amusement while Elsa simply ignored my growl."Well I am Marcus Thorne beta of the Scotsnight it is nice to finally meet ya my lady."he said with a bow.
I smiled at him,he seemed really nice and like a happy man "It is nice to meet you all as well."
"Well now that you have met we have a few announcements to make to the whole pack."Jake said coldy and I scrunched up my eyebrows. Something didn't feel right.
I nodded my head and we all followed him into the pack hall which was another large building outside. My heart was pounding so loudly I thought it was gonna drop out of my chest.There was a stage in the hall that we all climbed onto,people were already filling in the hall in large numbers.After a short while the hall was packed and some people even stood outside.
"Quiet!"Chris voice boomed and everyone stopped whispering and talking.He had greeted me and thanked me for not telling Jake about how he lost control and tried touching me. Honestly I told him to forget plus he was a good beta and it wasn't his fault.
Jake moved forward stifly while we all stood behind him,"Today the Scotsnight and Silverstone have legally merged forming the largest pack world wide!" he announced and everyone cheered in happiness. I smiled because our pack was happy,larger numbers made us stronger and more powerful."We will be moving to our rightful land next week,where we will be welcomed by our people-our family!"people cheered at this as well.
They were glad they didn't have to be clustered on this land anymore.He smiled at the joy his people finally had,he had accomplished something great and I could feel his happiness plus his pride as well. "They will welcome their Alpha and their Lunar with pride,"he extended his hand to where Bella and I were standing. I almost walked forward to take his hand but froze in place when Bella quickly walked towards him taking his hand.
I blinked once and twice,this must be a sick joke. Everyone gasped in shock,they weren't expecting this as well.
