Not A HUMAN??

New room

"Ha ha ha, he chuckled gently."

"Just think about it and you will be able to block me from your mind, he said with a slight smile."

I felt a little embarrassed and tried to do as he said.

And wow, I could feel he is not in my mind anymore for a lack of better words.

I feel like I raised a barrier between us. Why does this thought feel sad?

"OK now, come let me show you your room, he said, interrupting my thoughts."

I moved back from him as my face

Turned beet red and went to the door where I placed my backpack and suitcase.

"Let me get that, he said, pointing to the suitcase.

"Oh what a gentleman, I thought as I handed him the suitcase.

He walked out as I trotted behind him.

He really is a big man, 6"5. Maybe I am not good at heights, but his broad back and tall stature makes me feel safe.

He walked down the hall and up another staircase. I noted the elevator on the side.

I wondered why we are not taking that, but, wherever anyway, I am not carrying the suitcase. So it's OK, I guess.

Two floors later, we came to a stop in front of a room on the west side.

"This is your room. Damon entered and placed my suitcase.

I walked in after him and looked around the room.

It is painted white with minimalist decor and a queen-sized bed.

I saw two doors to my right side, which were assumed to be the closet and bathroom.

Thankfully, it's clean, and I don't have to clean it now. I am already tired.

"This is where you will live from now onwards." "If you need anything, you can come and ask me or mind link me, Damon said", pointing his finger to his head.

I blushed slightly in embarrassment, remembering earlier.

I nodded but noted he was still looking at me, so I said "OK".

"Later on, come down for dinner on the first floor," he said, walking out.

"OK, thank you, I said."

I locked my room as soon as he went out and looked around the room.

I am happy no one took the initiative to decorate it so that I can do it myself.

I went to the closet and started arranging my clothes.

I want to arrange everything quickly so that I can sleep before it's dinner time.

I haven't been able to sleep the whole of last week since I found out the truth. Now that I have passed through this ordeal, I just want to sleep, but not before a shower, so I headed to the bathroom with my PJS.

..........

Ahh!

I groaned as I got up from bed and removed my phone from the charger.

It's 7PM, so I have slept for more than 5 hours since I got here at 2 pm.

I see a missed call from my mom and a text saying to call her back, so I do just that as I head to the closet to pick up my outfit.

I don't want to look shabby the first time I meet the people of the Pack.

"Hey sweetie, have you arrived, my mom's soothing voice came from the other side."

"Yes mom sorry I forgot to inform you when I arrived." I apologized to mom. I seriously forgot about it in my nervousness.

"It's OK dear, tell me, did everything go well?." Are you adapting well ?she asked, worry apparent in her voice.

"Yes mom, don't worry, I am good so far, I assure you."

"OK sweetie, I am grateful you are doing this for me. Tell me if something happens OK, I will always be there," mom said.

"You are welcome mom. It can't compare to what you have done for me and I will definitely reach out if something happens."

"OK sweetie, bye. I will see you once we are back, and I am proud of you. You always remember that. Don't feel inferior in any way."

"Bye mom, thanks I needed that. I said and hung up the phone.

I know she is referring to how I feel inferior about my thick thighs and curly hair.

I have always struggled with that, everyone around me has straight hair and slim legs.

While I have curly hair and thick thighs, my waist is slim, which highlights it even more.

I always feel unattractive because of that.

I want to change that thought process, but sometimes it's so difficult I don't know what to do.

But I want to change that since I am turning 18 in a month.

So I picked out a black knee-length dress which my Mom had bought for me and black high heals.

I decided not to apply makeup because it would be over the top.

For the first time, I didn't try to straighten my hair and hide my thighs.

I applied a light pink lip gloss.

It already feels different and confident.

"You are beautiful the way you are, I murmured and walked down the stairs.

I could hear voices coming from the dining room as I descended the flight of stairs.

The moment I reached the dining room, all the voices stopped and everyone turned to me.

"OK, now I am nervous and just want to go back to my room."

"Oh, this is Raelynn Keller, a new member of the pack. Nathan stood up and introduced me before I could complete my escape plan.

I walked slowly to the table while my stomach did somersaults.

"Hi everyone, I greeted them in a loud voice to make up for my nervousness. I put on a straight face.

"Welcome Realynn. I am Myrina, Nathan's mate. A beautiful red-headed introduced herself.

"Hi I am Alice, Jason's mate, a blonde said.

"Come sit, Raelynn, Nathan said as everyone introduced themselves.
