The Legendary Wolf

Packhouse

~Serena's POV~

I was standing by the window when Taylor came, “Good morning, had a good sleep?”

I sighed and gave him a small smile. “I thought you won't be coming.”

He sighed, “Serena that won't happen again. Come let’s go.”

I was nervous about going to the packhouse. I am a rogue to everyone. I don't know if they will accept me or not.

Taylor noticed my hesitation and said, “Hey, don’t worry everything will be alright. My alpha will introduce you to the pack, everyone trusts his decision and once they will know you, they will accept you on their own.”

“I’m, I-I didn’t stay between wolves for so long. I am a rogue to them. What if they hate me for being a rogue, what if they think that I am a danger to them?”

“I know it’s not easy, but you are no harm and our people trust their alpha and beta. They know if we are accepting you in our clan then you are not a problem. Don’t worry I stay in the packhouse too. I’ll be there whenever you need me.”

I smiled and picked the things that Taylor provided me.

I wonder why Taylor and his alpha are trusting me without knowing me, I tried to read his mind for an answer but couldn't find anything. Why sometimes I'm unable to read his mind?

I brushed it off and move ahead.

“I kinda like this guy, he is comforting and good with you but Serena I’m masking your scent I don't want anyone to recognize us by any chance,” Star said.

On my way to the packhouse, everyone was looking at me with hate and disgust. But Taylor’s growl made them divert their eyes.

“I don’t like how our people are looking at us. It hurts.” Sere said.

“I know Sere, but they don’t know who I am, they see me as a rogue.”

Star growled, “Then why don’t you tell them who you are. I can’t handle their disgust anymore!”

“You are a very short-tempered lycan, we can’t do that.”

“I agree with Sere. Star we can’t tell anyone about us. We are not ready to fight Zedr right now. What if he finds me? You surely don’t want to be captured and tortured again.”

Star huffed but agreed.

We reached the packhouse in 10 minutes. Taylor nodded to the guards and they opened the gate. Pups were happily running around the garden. They waved in Taylor's direction and Taylor waved back and led me inside the packhouse.

I saw three girls of my age coming out from the front door. Two of them were drooling over Taylor, and the other one who had the same dirty blonde hair as Taylor rolled her eyes. I think she is his sister. Then their eyes landed on me and the girl with dirty blonde hair said, “Rogue. We have a rogue in our territory. Why are you bringing her here Taylor? She should be in the dungeons.”

“Leah, she is the new member of our clan. I told you about her. Girls this is Serena, Serena this is Leah, my sister and they are Catherine and Lily.”

So I was right about her being his sister.

"Hello.”

Catherine said, “You are rogue and we do not befriend rogues. Let’s go Lily.”

Leah sighed, “Don’t mind them, it’s not we see rogues often or welcome them in our clan. They will come along I know them. My brother told me about you but he didn’t tell me you are a rogue,” she said eyeing Taylor who shrugged.

She continued, “If you need anything, I’m here to help. I’ll see you around.” she smiled and left.

I looked at Taylor and he said, “Don’t worry, I didn’t tell her your full story. I just told her you had a tough life and looking for a place to live. She offered her help solely. Only alpha and I know the details.”

I gratefully smiled. I’m glad he didn’t tell anyone else about me being a captive for years. I can’t handle anyone's sympathy.

The interior of this mansion is beautiful. It has a white and golden combination interior. There was a large sofa in the middle of the living room and a beautiful big chandelier above it, a huge white staircase, which has a golden railings and navy blue carpets. I saw the swimming pool on the left side of the packhouse from the window.

I was looking around the packhouse when a woman in fiftes came to us. She had brown hair and soft facial features. She was looking at me with a smile so I smiled back.

Taylor said, “Serena meet Mrs.Beck, our pack cook. She cooks amazing food, you are going to love her cooking skills.”

Mrs. Beck laughed, “This boy always compliments my cooking skills. And trust me Serena sometimes he makes me cook something special and different for him.”

“It’s because I love your food Mrs. Beck” Taylor replied with a smile.

“Hello Mrs. Beck, I’m Serena”

“I know little girl, Taylor already told me you were coming. I prepared your room. Come I’ll take you to your room.”

I looked at Taylor, I was scared of leaving his side. Taylor smiled at me and said, “You’ll be fine. Nobody will dare to say anything to you in her presence nor she will hurt you.”

He looked at Mrs. Beck, “She is not just a cook here, she is the most amazing warrior of her time.”

Mrs. Beck put her right hand on her chest dramatically and said, “You hurt me, Taylor. What do you mean ‘of my time' huh? I can still take down 10 warriors at the same time.”

Taylor laughed and put his hands up in surrender, “Yes lady boss, now this little girl is under your surveillance.”

He looked at me once again and left. Mrs. Beck looked at me, “Let's go”.

She took me to the first floor, this floor reminded me of my home. It had the same navy blue carpet on the floor. There were portraits on both sides of the wall and orchid flower vases. I always loved orchids. My love for orchids was this much that dad always used to keep orchids of different colors in our castle.

Mrs. Beck showed me my room which is the 4th room from the right. This room is big and beautiful. It had white painted walls and blue curtains. Blue is definitely alpha’s favorite color. There was a queen-size bed in the middle of the room. It had 2 doors, one of them should be a bathroom and the other should be a walk-in closet.

Mrs. Beck said, “Little girl, this one on the left side is a bathroom and the other one is a closet, your closet has everything you need. Take shower, and then come to the living room we will be having a pack meeting in an hour before that you should eat something, I’ll prepare something for you. Come fast I’ll be waiting for you.”

“Thank you Mrs. Beck but I ate before coming here.”

Mrs. Beck raised her eyebrow and asked, “What did you eat?”

“Cereals.”

Mrs. Beck sighed, “Cereals are not enough for you. Take a shower and come fast. I’ll feed you.” and she left.

Star spoke, “I like her. She is amazing and taking care of you”.

Sere agreed with her, “I agree and I felt loved when she said she will feed Serena.”

I felt loved too. After a very long time, someone has shown interest in taking care of me.

I wanted to take a long shower with all the feminine products available there but Mrs. Beck told me not to be late. I went to the closet and looked at the clothes. Tears pooled in my eyes, this closet has everything that I need- lingerie, casual clothes, workout outfit, and a dress as well. A pair of shoes and flats were also there. After years I had this much stuff for myself.

I took white lingerie with a white tee and blue jeans and chose flats to wear with them. I looked at myself in the mirror, I am happy that finally my scars were almost gone. Sere and Star healed me fast.

“All scars and bruises will be healed Serena we just need to eat more,” Sere said.

I smiled and left the room.

I reached into the living room and my mouth watered with the aroma of pancake and bacon.

Mrs. Beck came out of the kitchen and motioned me to come. I went to her, she looked at me from head to toe and smiled, “You look fresh and better than before. Here eat this. You will feel better.”

She handed me a plate filled with bacon and pancake and I started eating. They tasted the same as my mom’s cooking.

I don’t know when I started crying until Mrs. Beck came and patted my shoulder, “Hey, what’s wrong Serena? Aren’t they good? Don’t you like it?”

Taylor entered the kitchen at the same time and asked why I am crying.

I wiped my tears, “Mrs. Beck there is nothing wrong with your food. I love this, they taste amazing.”

“Then why were you crying?”

“It’s just, your food reminded me of my mother. Her bacon and pancake tasted the same.”

Taylor and Mrs. Beck both gave me a sympathetic smile.

Mrs. Beck said, “I know I’m not your mother but I will take care of you like a mother. Now stop crying and finish this.”

Taylor smiled, “I told you, Mrs. Beck cooks amazing food. Now eat this we have a pack meeting.”

I finished my food and went back to the living room. There were around 15 people in the living who were eyeing me. I started getting conscious of myself.

Leah came and stood beside me, “Hey it's okay they will come along, they are worried about having a stranger between them.”

I smiled at her and thanked her for her friendly behavior.

Suddenly Sere and Star started pacing in my head and I smelled mouth-watering scent of chocolate and pine near me. But no one here was eating chocolate. I looked around and saw the most handsome man in front of me. He smelled like chocolates and pine. Star and Sere screamed in my head, “Mate, mate, he is our mate, Serena. Our mate is here!”

Our eyes locked and he looked at me the same way I was looking at him. He looks like a Greek god with his muscular and sculpted body. His jet black hair complimented his dark green eyes and his jaw... He looks... perfect.

I stepped in his direction but a woman came and snaked her arms with my mate. My blood boiled. How dare she? He is my mate!

She was smiling ear to ear while looking at him and looking at her wicked smile, something unknown raged inside me. I want to kill her. Star and Sere also started furiously growling in my head. I looked at my mate, he didn’t remove her hand and this angered me more.

Leah spoke in a low voice, “He is our alpha, Alpha Noah Black”.

I was not surprised, I already sensed his aura, I know he is alpha.

I was looking at him, but he was looking everywhere but not at me and seems unaffected by my presence.

He ignored my presence as if he didn't saw me and cleared his throat, “Everyone in the garden, we have a pack meeting."
