_eva

I jumped when my mom called me and looked at her from the back seat

_what mom

_I've been calling you for a while, where have you been?

I moved my eyes between her and my father next to her who was driving the car and I blew nervously

_I'm just so nervous, what if the pack doesn't accept me or I'm not strong enough to lead them?

My mother took off her seat belt and turned to me and hugged my hand between her palms

_It is natural for you to be afraid and nervous, but if you do not trust yourself, the pack will not trust you, Don't let this fear control you and prevent you from being the best alpha we know

I held her hand in gratitude, tears shining in my eyes

_Thank you mom, I really don't know what I would have done without you all by my side

Then I whispered to my mother I love you and she gently stroked my cheek

_ me too, my love, we all do

_we have arrived

We were interrupted by my father's voice, so my mother turned to return to her seat,as I stuck my face to the window, watching the end of the forest and the emergence of many scattered houses and people here and there

They stood to see who was in the car. I thought while my heart beat was accelerating. These are my people. My family my responsibility

I smiled at the idea, and Mixa purred in my mind excitedly. The car stopped in front of a huge house, which I thought was the pack's house, and next to it was another building, which I thought was for offices.

I slowly went down, passing my eyes on everything. Matthew stood beside me and I felt my mum and dad behind me. Max stayed in our pack for his training. He is the one who will be crowned alpha after a year when he reaches his age because my uncle has no sons

I took steps with Matthew but was stopped by many people exiting the house

I looked at Matthew and he immediately came forward and pointed to a young man I think was in his late twenties with blond hair and blue eyes.

_This is my son Peter and the future beta

Peter bowed his head respectfully, and I did the same. Then Matthew pointed to the girl next to him, and I thought she was his mate because he smelled strongly of her.

_And here is his mate Tina, and the other here is Samantha, the kitchen official, behind are her assistants. You will get to know them over time, and this young man in the back is Michael the Gamma , and the rest you will know about after the ceremony.

Then he turned to them

_ Now, of course, everyone knows Alpha Evtalia, the daughter of Alpha Albert and Luna Emilia, and her parents, the former Alpha of the Claw pack Marcus and the former Luna Elisa.

Everyone bowed their heads in front of me in respect to me and my parents I raised my head confidently and spoke softly, calming my rapid heartbeat.

_It is an honor for me to meet you all. you have done a wonderful job for this pack all these years and I am proud to have people of your strength and I hope that I will also be a source of pride for you and since you will be the closest to me I hope that the relationship between us will be more than just an alpha and his assistants but Family, so I hope you will call me Eva, as this is the most beloved of nicknames for me

"Well, you really are an alpha by nature."

I smiled happily when I saw the look of pride in Matthew's eyes and I will work hard to get everyone to look at me like that

I moved my eyes to Tina, who came up to me with a wide smile and greeted me

Followed by Peter and the others I turned to look at my father and my confidence increased because of his and my mother's looks

I shook my head at them and we headed inside. I liked the design. The person responsible for it must have good taste. The lobby is decorated with a huge luxurious carpet and a giant silver-colored chandelier, and the paintings hanging on the walls.

A wide staircase met me. The floors above must be for rooms. I looked at the doors on both sides and Tina spoke beside me.

_ The door on the left is the storeroom, next to it is the kitchen, followed by the dining room, and here on the right is the sitting room, next to it is an office, and the last door is the bethroom and the stairs lead to the pack's rooms. Some live here and some families in the houses outside.

Peter interrupted her with a smile

_Let the alpha rest Tina and then you can take her for a toor

I quickly replied, shaking my head

_No, really, I'm not tired, and I'm eager to get to know my pack

Matthew spoke this time

_You will get to know them in the evening. We have prepared everything for your ceremony, so it is better that you rest a little before it start.

Everyone agreed, so I nodded as well and went outside to get my bags, but Michael stopped me.

_You need something alpha

I rubbed my head lightly and pointed to the car

_I wanted to carry my bags

Everyone laughed lightly and Michael grabbed me by the hand, dragging me behind him

_Come on, I'll show you your room, but the bags will follow you in seconds

I followed him silently and with a slight smile on my lips I admit they are nice and I am really looking forward to the party to meet everyone

He stopped in front of a room and opened the door, he gestured with his hand like a gentleman for me to enter.

So I bent down like a princesse and entered the room

The sound of his laughter echoed in the place as he closed the door . I contemplated the room in front of me. It's larger than my previous room, and a king bed in the middle, opposite a huge TV, and the dressing table on the right side of the bed, then a door.

I went to it and opened it, and the balcony met me with a table and chairs.

It's a wonderful sight. I heard a knock on the door, so I went back to the room and opened the door and found Peter and Michael standing with my bags, so I stepped aside to let them in.

They put the bags on the floor and turned to me, I tensed a little under their scrutinizing eyes, but I kept my gaze fixed on them.
