Chapter ,8 first impressing

Alpha Black’s P.O.V

  I really wanted to make a good first impression on Hope, but everything was such a mess at the pack house on the territory. I had ordered everything to get cleared up while Hope was in the second week of her coma, but things were taking so much longer than they needed to and it was starting to piss me off. 

  “Everyone, she has woken up from her coma and I am bringing her to the pack house today, so I need everything ready now.” I said, mind-linking my whole pack and using my Alpha tone to get things done faster.

  “We are getting it done as fast as we can. We have already cleaned everything from head to toe and now we are doing your room. So far we have changed the sheets, blankets and pillow cases, we have put nice photos on the walls and cleaned the carpet. We brought you new nightstands, put them together and have set them up in your room, plus they actually match your bed.” One of my pack members quickly replied, mind-linking me.

  “What about the bathroom?” I asked, mind-linking them.

  “We have cleaned the bathroom, bleached it and cleaned it all up. We have put hand soap on the sink and cleaned the shower, bathtub and even the jacuzzi. We have mopped the floor and we are just adding the finishing touches to everything.” The pack member replied and I wondered how it all looked.

  “So, does it look good?” I asked, mind-linking them.

  “Both the bedroom and bathroom look brand new.” The pack member replied and I felt relieved.

  “Okay, well if the house is finally done, hurry downstairs and meet us out front because we are nearly at the pack house. She has just gotten her cat, so I need you all to be careful not to scare her.” I said, quickly mind-linking them as we drove down the driveway. I was grateful that Hope was sitting in the back seat so that she couldn't see me mind-linking, not that it would be a new thing for her, but it might make her suspicious of me and that is the last thing I wanted. I turned back to see that Hope looked a little paler than what she had done, but that was because of Shelly’s driving.

  “Are you okay?” I asked and she nodded, but her eyes remained closed and her nails were digging into the armrest.

  “Listen, there are some things that I think you should know, firstly as you know I am the Alpha of my pack, but my full name is Roman Black, you can call me Roman.” I said and her eyes shot open.

  “But you're an Alpha….” Hope replied and I nodded.

  “Yes, I am an Alpha, but….Hope, we are mates. You can't tell right now because you haven't shifted yet, but when you do you will smell my scent. The mate bond is strong and you will feel the pull just as I do.” I said and she looked at me stunned.

  “You mean...you and me….we’re mates? I don't understand, is this the reason why you're helping me because we are mates and not because I actually need help?” Hope asked and I shook my head.

  “Hope, I am helping you because you need help, because I care about my family and you are our family now. Many people are waiting to see you and finally meet you. We will all help you heal and train. You belong to this pack now.” I replied and she slowly nodded. I know this was a lot for her to take in, especially after everything that she had been through.

  Hope’s P.O.V

  Wow, this was, this was just so much. He’s my mate. First I have a cat and now I have a mate. Wow. 

  “Thank you, Alp….Roman. I will do my best to make everyone proud.” I replied, quickly correcting myself when I went to call him Alpha and he nodded, smiling slightly at my slip up. We finally drove slowly past the pack house and I saw everyone was waiting outside for us to arrive. There were a lot of people here and it was making me nervous all over again, but then Roman reached back and held my hand, calming me down slightly. I was still scared, but I knew with Roman by my side I would be okay. The car stopped in the garage and both Roman and Shelly got out, came round to my side and helped me out, but thankfully my legs were a little stronger now, so I didn't need the wheelchair. Maybe my cat had finally kicked in the healing process or something. When we got outside everyone was there and Alpha Black, Roman stood at the front and cleared his throat.

  “Everyone, I would like for you all to meet Hope. She is new to this pack and your future Luna when she is ready. We will help her heal, train and learn the ways of our pack, our family. Please welcome her.” Alpha Black, said and everyone started to clap. One by one everyone came up and welcomed me, introducing themselves to me and I shook all of their hands and they hugged me. By the time I was done it was really late at night and I was so tired, which you wouldn't think would be possible seeing as I have been asleep for three weeks in a coma, but I was. I didn't mean to yawn loud, but it came out and Roman chuckled when he heard me. He took me by the hand and led me upstairs to what he said was our room. That sounded so weird, our room. I was starting to get scared again, not knowing what to expect, but Roman assured me that everything would be alright. He opened the door to the room and walked inside with me.

  “Listen, until you are ready I’ll sleep on that couch over there.” Roman said, pointing to a really uncomfortable looking couch by the bed.

  “Don't worry, it folds out into a bed, so I will be perfectly comfortable.” Roman said, smiling and felt satisfied that he wouldn't be sleeping awkwardly. I smiled back and didn't feel as scared as I first did anymore. I watched as he walked over to the closet and pulled out some clothing. He walked back over and handed the item of clothing to me and when I opened it up I saw that it was a really long t-shirt.

  “I figured you would want to get out of that hospital gown, so I thought that you could wear this until I take you shopping. The bathroom is over there and the towels are in the bathroom. Go take a shower and then you can relax.” Roman said and I nodded. I admit that I had completely forgotten about the hospital gown, but I don't know why when it was really itchy. When I opened the door to the bathroom I was amazed by how huge it all was. I didn't know if I wanted to take a bath or a shower, but I finally decided on a shower, I just hoped they had hot water. I turned on the water and waited for a few minutes to get in, but when I did I yelped. It was hot alright, too hot. I turned the cold water on to make it even and then took my shower. The water felt amazing, I can't remember the last time I was able to take a hot shower. Once I was finished I got out, dried off and put the long shirt on. I put my hair up in a towel until it dried and when I walked out of the bathroom Roman had already got the fold out bed ready for him to lay down on. I hurried to the bed and got underneath the blankets, wondering what to do next. That shower had made me feel really refreshed and awake, but what now.

  “Is it okay if I watch TV?” I nervously asked.

  “Of course it is, watch whatever you want to watch. I don't mind at all, the remote is right beside you on the nightstand.” Roman said, but just as I reached for the remote he got up off the folded bed and went to the door.

  “Oh, I’ll be right back, okay. I’ll be ten minutes, I promise.” Roman said and walked out of the room. I put the TV on and flicked through the channels until I found the film Coneheads. I lay back on the pillow, started to watch the movie and before I knew it Roman walked back into the room. I looked up at him and saw that he had two glasses of milk and a tray of cookies. He placed one glass on the nightstand next to me and a plate of six cookies. He got back down on his bed and I saw that he had exactly the same as me, which made me smile. We both lay there, munching on cookies, drinking milk and watching the movie together.
