PRESENT DAY
Today the house is very quiet because Uncle Nick and Lucas are not in the home park. They went for an "important meeting" in the neighboring pack, at least that is what I was told, so I'm home alone, yay.
I have definitely learned to love this pack. The fact that I didn't want to come here in the first place is very funny. Uncle Nick and I get along quite well. His son Lucas is very friendly and welcoming, he's like a brother I've never had, and I really like spending time with him. Nowadays, Lucas and I rarely spend time together because he has to learn the ropes as the future Alpha of this pack. I wonder what that's like. It doesn't seem fun at all, letting go of your social life, friends and for what? To spend time with people three times your age? In a freezing office covered in nothing but an expensive wooden interior with paintings of nature.

Living here as the only human is hard. I always feel out of place and different and not in a good way, trust me, I do get glares sometimes and dirty looks from some pack members. I always feel their stares. I feel them judging me and I don't like the fact that they judge me because of what I am.
Some people even go as far as bullying me, especially at school. They don't do it when Lucas is around though, because they know what he'll do to them if they try to mess with him, especially in front of him.
No matter how much they bully me in school, I don't tell anyone because I don't want to put pressure on anyone, they already have a lot on their plates. They do packing duties and, moreover, I am a big girl, I can take care of myself.
I am currently getting ready to spend another day on my own, since I did all my homework last night, I have the whole day to myself. Because I am not going anywhere important today, I have decided to pick up a pair of leggings and some baggy tee shirt.
After taking a shower, I get out of the bathroom, which is just next door to my room, with a towel wrapped around my body. The moment I am in the safety of my room, I remove the towel from my body and wipe off the water droplets that are still on my body. Afterward, I get my lotion from the table where it usually stays, and I apply it to my body after adding a roll on and somebody mist. I then wear my underwear, the leggings, a baggy tee and some socks.
After double-checking my reflection in the mirror and seeing that it was good to go, I left my room and headed towards the kitchen to make my breakfast.

I decided to make myself some cereal, since I was feeling very lazy to make anything else. I get a bowl, spoon, some milk from the fridge and the cornflakes from the cupboard. I put in the cornflakes and poured the milk and sugar, mixed them and carried the bowl of cereal toward the living room.
I make myself comfortable on a chair that's to the left, eating away in silence. When I am done, I get up, go to the sink and wash my plate, dry it up and put it on the rack.
Immediately after I finished cleaning up, I heard a knock............. my uncle never talked about anyone visiting. Who could it be ?
I asked myself as I went to the front door.

After opening the door, I came face to face with a tall, handsome dark-haired Greek god, with a sharp jawline, full pink lips and beautiful baby blue eyes that can make you want to spill all of your secrets with just one single glance. His aura is different from all the other wolves I have encountered here. Uncle Nick is scary at first sight, but he is nothing compared to the stranger at my doorstep. My heart is trembling in fear and curiosity at the same time. Who is he? What is he doing here unannounced? If he was someone of importance, uncle Nick would have made mention of his arrival beforehand.
Come on Annabelle, get a grip. Stop drooling over the blood-curdling stranger, you're probably creeping him out, and he definitely isn't looking at you in that type of way. Why would he even look at someone like you? A strange human staring at him like he is a bag of spicy, juicy Doritos.
I looked at the stranger, and he was looking at me dead in the eye. There was this feeling I couldn't just wrap my finger around, after having a well needed pep talk about how much I shouldn't embarrass myself in front of such a fine species of a man. I gathered courage and asked him to explain himself.
"Good afternoon, sir, how may I help you?" I asked with the best smile I could come up with, but I am sure I looked like I had constipation or something.
His eyes flashed with a look of amusement, and they quickly changed to their original state, and I was getting a little nervous. Scratch that I am very nervous my legs were literally shaking.
I am sure he noticed my nervousness because he gave me a small smile and then answered my question, and his voice, God, his voice made my insides melt. It also awoke the swarm of butterflies in my stomach.
"Hi am Dominick, judging by your reaction, I guess you don't know who I am, yes?" he asked in his deep sexy voice and my eyes were as wide as saucers.
Is he an important member of this pack? Maybe a friend of my cousin? Or maybe an Alpha from a neighboring pack?
I am sure Uncle Nick and Lucas would have mentioned someone of such importance, but I guess it slipped their minds? Right? Why am I even that interested in such matters? I am not even a wolf. When I realize I'd made him stand by the door for a very long time, and it may seem rude, I invited him in still not knowing who he was. He reeked of a brooding darkness. I couldn't point a finger at what exactly it was about him that made me so uneasy and feel the need to tremble in submission, but he didn't seem like the type to rip out the spine of a weak human of my likes. Good job Annabelle, as if that's a logical explanation for letting a total stranger in on a day when you're home alone with no protection whatsoever.
"Uhm yes, sorry come in" I said while I looked at him once and opened the door hoping he would follow suit. And he did, which I was very grateful for. I led him to the living room. When he sat down and was comfortable enough, I asked him.
"Can I offer you something to drink, water? Maybe juice or tea and biscuits? What about coo? " I cut myself short when I realized I was mumbling. I wasn't supposed to embarrass myself. I scolded myself with flaming cheeks. When I looked at him, he was already looking at me with a soft look. And a small smile, and I just gave him a sheepish smile.
"Water is fine, thank you" he said with the same smile on his face.
"One glass of water coming right up" I said with a smile of my own, and went to the kitchen to get just that. When I returned to the living room with a glass of water, I handed it to him, and sat on a chair that was opposite from where he sat. I gave myself the opportunity to steal a few glances in his direction and, trust me, he was insanely good-looking.
"Did yo-" I was cut short by the sound of the front door opening and uncle Nick and Lucas entered with annoyed looks on their faces.
