Chapter 50

The day arrived when Alpha Monroe and Alpha Taylor arrived. They both had a fair amount of people from there pack with them. Hayden and I stood at the pack house to welcome them.

“Nice to see you, Monroe.” Hayden shook the man's hand. He was tall not as tall as Hayden but defiantly taller than most.

“It’s good to see you too. I am looking forward to the party. Maybe I will find her at this one.”

“We can hope. I am just glad you are here we have a lot that needs to be worked out.”

“We can save that kind of talk for the meeting tomorrow.”

“You’re right. This is Ember.” The Alpha looked at me. I could see the shock in his face. But then it turned to something else.

“Nice to meet you.”

“It is nice to meet you too.”

“If you just go in you know where the rooms are so just make yourself at home. We have added a bunch of guest buildings since the last time you came. It is just short distance in the woods there is a path back behind the packhouse if you want to have your pack members set up there.”

“Thankyou.” Then Alpha Monroe walked off to tell his pack members what was going on. I looked at Hayden. “I take it you know Monroe well.”

“Yeah, he is great he came to visit a lot when we were kids. And the last mate ball was up in his territory in Canada.”

“He is still looking for his mate, I take it.”

“Yeah.”

We stood there for a while and then Alpha Taylor arrived. He had a lot less pack members with him. His Luna got out of the car after him. She was beautiful. Her legs were long, and her sun kissed skin was as smooth as butter. The two approached.

“Taylor, Chloe good of you to come. “It was common for alphas to not use the title as they were of the same rank in respective packs. Same with the Lunas.

“Yes, well it has been a long time since a state's pack invited us to anything. So, we were peaked with interest if nothing else.” The two were examining us. Trying to see if there was any weakness. I spoke up.

“Chloe it is so nice to meet you and you too Taylor.” They both looked at my face with shock. If they were intimated, like Hayden said they would be, they never let on, unlike Monroe.

“The same.” Chloe sneered.

“I can show you to your room.” I offered.

“Why don’t you show Chloe I want a word with Hayden.”

“Alright. It is just this way.” I lead Chloe back to the house.

“I don’t mean to be rude or pry and if you don’t want to tell me you don’t have to but how did you get those scars.” I know she was talking about my face. She didn’t know the rest of me was covered in them, well at least not yet.

“Hunters.” That was the only explanation I would say. I never felt the need to go into specifics. I didn’t even talk to Hayden about what I remembered. I knew he could see the memories himself because of the imprinting but he was kind to never bring it up.

Chloe was quiet. “Here we are. If you need anything just ask.” I turned around and left her to her business. I headed up to our room and wait for Hayden to return. While I waited, I decide it would be best to take a shower. While I was washing up Hayden walked into the shower.

“May I help.” I handed him the loofa and he began to wash my back.

“So, what did Taylor want?”

“Well, he wanted to know where his pack members were staying.”

“Is that all?”

“No, he wanted to talk about the hunters. But I told him we will discuss it tomorrow. Did Chloe ask you anything?”

“Yeah, she wanted to know about the scars. I told her it was hunters and left it at that.” Hayden continued to help me wash and I scrubbed him too. Things began to get heated until we realized we needed to get ready to go.

I put my hair in a low bun and had a few of red curls framing my face. I put on light makeup and it made my green eyes pop. I then went to the closet and took out the dress. I stepped in zipped up the side. I sat down on the chair in the closet and put on my strappy heals.

I looked in the mirror. The back dress showed a bit of cleavage. It had a long slit up the side and you could see my heals and my legs. They had a bunch of white scars up them. My arms were exposed. And just like the rest of my scars where on full display.

I walked out to find my very sexy mate. He was sitting there waiting patiently. He stood up when he saw me. He was looking , dam near like he walked out of magazine. He had a fitted black suit with a black vest and shirt. He left the top button open giving him a more laid-back ensemble while still being elegant.

“You look stunning.” He said as he stuttered.

“I didn’t know you had a stutter?”

“I don’t, I just um wow.”

“Thank you and quite good yourself”

“Shall we go?”

“I would rather not. I think I just want to stay here and devour you all night.”

“You were the one who said it was important.”

“Who cares what I said.”

“As much as I want to, we should wait till after the party.”

“Fine, but I want you to know I will have my hands on you all night.”

I started to blush. He held out his arm which I took, and we headed out to the party.
