Savannah
I slowly wake up from my nap and I feel so much better. I sit up on the queen-sized bed and notice the grey silk sheets that I am laying on, the walls are light grey and there is a crazy-ass-sized TV on the wall straight in front of the bed. It has to be 60-70 inches. There's a cream sofa at the bottom of the bed facing the TV and a small coffee table in front of that. The carpet is white with a grey fluffy rug underneath the coffee table. To the right of the TV, two French doors lead out onto a balcony. Then on the other side of the room, there are two more doors which I'm guessing are the bathroom and closet.
As I pull myself off of the bed, a smell quickly invades my nose, it reminds me of strawberries and cinnamon. I'm guessing it's an air freshener maybe? I'm not sure, but either way, it is seriously mouthwatering and I'll have to find out what it is. I want to bottle the smell up and take some of it home with me.
I shake my head as I open the first door. It's the walk-in closet and it's huge. I decide to unpack my stuff immediately, seeing as I still have time before dinner. I grab my case, hang my clothes up, and pop my panties and bras in the drawer. Next, I make my way to the second door, and behind that is the bathroom, It's a pretty good-sized room. There's a walk-in shower big enough for at least eight people and a claw-shaped bathtub covers the center of the room and I can't wait to try it.
Across from the shower are two sinks both with mirrors above them, and off to the side of the mirrors is a floor-to-ceiling cupboard. I'm guessing the towels are kept in there, then last but not least there's a vanity table against the wall behind the bath... Wait, a vanity table in the bathroom? Well, that's new I guess. I choose to ignore the reasoning behind it and make my way back into the bedroom.
I check my phone and I'm not surprised to find that I've got four messages from Mia, I forgot to text her when I got here, so she's probably pissed at me. I decide I'd better make her happy and FaceTime her before dinner. She'll only be pissed because she's a nosy cow and loves good gossip and details are her best friend, lots and lots of details. She picks up after just two rings and I end up spending the next thirty minutes telling her everything I can about this pack before we say our goodbyes as she needs to get ready for her training session. Once we're done I check the time and jump off the bed when I see that it's already five thirty and I need to start getting ready for dinner. I quickly head to the shower excited about my first time using that huge thing.
"Oh s**t!" I shout. I turn and head out of my room, down the hall and knock on the large wooden door that is in front of me. "Hey sweetheart, come in, is everything ok?" My mom asks as she opens the door more so I can scoot inside. "Hmm...ok, so I may have forgotten to pack a couple of bathroom essentials and I don't have enough time to get to the store right now and get ready in time for dinner. I don't want to be late on my first night here." I quietly answer.
"Ok no problem, what do you need baby?"
"Oh, just...shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a razor, a flannel, toothpaste, toothbrush, moisturizer, and a hairbrush." I replay with the most angelic innocent face I can master. "Oh, is that all, are you sure you don't need anything else?" Comes my Dad's unimpressed tone. "No, I'm pretty sure that's all Dad," I replay while mentally rolling my eyes.
"So what you mean to say is you spend more time reading your book than concentrating on packing and now you've forgotten everything you need for the bathroom?"
"Yeah that's pretty much it Dad but I'm not going to apologize for it my book was at a cliffhanger, I couldn't just stop reading at that point I had to know who Jenny's father was and if Nathan was actually her brother or not because if he was then those two dating would have got real awkward and..."
"Ok enough my ears are bleeding!" My Dad shouts while trying to hide his amused look. "Sweetheart go and help yourself to whatever you need from the bathroom and then we'll pop to the store tomorrow OK?" My mother's angelic voice comes from across the room while she's sat at her vanity table drying her long blonde hair. My mother is a beautiful woman with hair down to her waist, big blue eyes like the ocean and a figure to die for. You'd never think she's had four children, she's short though which explains my height she's 5ft4, and I'm 5ft5.
"Thank you, momma, you're the best!"
"Oh, Mom, Dad, do you want to hear something weird?"
"No, we don't want to know if Nathan was actually her brother or not." Comes Dad's voice with a look that tells me he's happy for me to leave the room right now, Me and my mom both roar with laughter at his comment and the face he's making.
"No, that's not what I was going to tell you, but now you mention it no he wasn't, thank goddess, I say as I sneak in with a dramatic pose. "Anyway so my vanity table is in my bathroom, am I the only one that finds that strange?" I ask and quickly notice them both looking at me like I'm insane. "That is strange," They both agree.
"I can mention it to Alpha Jack if you'd like butterfly?" My Dad gently asks. "No, it's fine Dad don't worry I'm sure it's nothing and I don't want to cause any bother over something so small when we have only just arrived. Anyhow I had better get back to my room or I won't be ready," I say while making my way into the bathroom and grabbing everything I need. We say our goodbyes and I rush back to my room. I need to get ready and quickly.
The thought of spending any more time than necessary with good old Alpha Jack is enough to make me want to have a shower and head to bed then get lost in my book for a few hours but instead, I have to be the dutiful daughter and get dressed up for a dinner that I'm dreading. "I'll be with you Savannah." Chloe's voice always helps calm me down but still, I can't help feeling anxious. There's something about him that I can't quite figure out but I know that it's something that I won't like.
His Gamma Drake wasn't any better, he barely said two words to us when we arrived instead, there was a lot of grunting and him hiding behind Alpha Jack. I would say there must be something in the air with everyone acting strange but Beta Alex actually seemed nice and didn't seem to mind taking his time to talk to us and to show us where we were staying and making sure we had all we needed.
I let out a long sigh as I admit defeat and head for the bathroom. The longer I stay sitting on my bed talking myself out of going to dinner the worse I'm going to feel about going and I have to be there, if only for my Dad. "Come on then Chloe, let's get ready." She gives me a wide smile while nodding but I can see that she's forcing it, she's just as uncomfortable as me about tonight but we can do this.
