Orphan Alpha

I had managed to unpack all my belongings and change before Jaxon and his mate arrived. I opened the door to my room to find a small brunette grinning at me as she stood beside an oversized blonde male. I knew it was the beta and his mate, but his size was terrifying.

“Hannah! I’m so excited that you’re finally here! I can’t tell you how happy I am that Tristan has found our luna!” The woman squealed, pulling me into a hug.

“Cam, let her go before you scare the poor girl. I’m Jaxon by the way, everyone calls me Jax and this is my mate Cam.” He said, pointing his thumb in the direction of the woman who had been squeezing the air out of me.

I didn’t bother to introduce myself as it was apparent, they already knew my name. Instead I allowed Cam to take my hand and pull me behind her through the pack house to the wooded area outside. There was a building just before the woods that looked similar to a campground bathroom that I had visited once as a child. Cam led me inside, telling me that when we were near the pack house, most of the pack would shift inside so they had privacy. Nudity wasn’t necessarily taboo in a pack, but there had been an issue over a mated female in the past so Tristan had established the changing rooms to prevent further disagreements among pack members.

I hung my clothes on the hook inside the female side of the changing rooms and shifted. My wolf howled as soon as she had taken over, her joy at finally being mated and a member of a pack too much to contain. I noticed Cam’s wolf was just as tiny as her human form, but it was an attractive blend of brown and silver fur. She nuzzled me with her snout, her wolf as affectionate as her person, before leading me outside to meet Jax. His wolf wasn’t as large as I had expected, though still much larger than his mate.

enough to tell me that this was not a member of my new pack. While my scent would be unfamiliar to them, I knew instinctively that they would have recognized it as one of their own. I began backing away, hoping to put some distance between myself and the unknown wolf when another growl erupted from his throat. In my panic I hadn’t realized that I was
