Chapter 12

Laurina's POV

It took about one hour before the male pack members started to like me.

Hope and Jaime started liking me immediately. That of course convinced (after about an hour of being glared at) Karl that I wasn't all that bad.

I couldn't tell if Jeremy liked me or not so I concentrated on the others.

Nick started liking me next. He swung me around the room and I laughed wholeheartedly he was like an older brother. There was only one down side to this. Chris didn't like me being so close to Nick so he glared at me tho whole time.

Antonio warmed to me soon after that.

Next I concentrated on Reese. He never had been particularly against me joining the pack saying that he had been chased and lost his finger before he was in the pack so he understood my position. He tolled me a couple things about being with the pack. I was thankful for this since I wasn't really sure how it all worked. He explained that they probably wouldn't be so hard on me because of my age and inexperience in hierarchy but to not push it.

''You can muck around with those who are less important in the pack and those who are okay with having you around. For example you can mess around with Kat and Logan and possibly there parents but don't push it to far.'' I thanked him again and again and he said

''If you have any questions about that sort of thing ask me, the hierarchy is pretty lenient in this pack, and Logan and Kat wont be able to answer your questions since they've never had to deal with that but I have and I can help.''

After his helpful commentary and some getting along with the pack I got growled at by Chris.

Now he done that one too many times.

I got up in his face staring right into his eyes and said

''what the hell is your problem?'' This brought on the instant silence I had heard earlier you could almost watch it ripple thru the pack.

''A fight'' He said. The silence surrounding us was deafening. And I laughed,

''Your gonna be sorry when you get your ass handed to you by a girl.'' He growled and there were some chuckles from the group.

''Let's go'' He said thru his teeth. I nodded excitedly

''this will be soo much fun!'' I skipped behind a muttering Chris as he went to the door.

Laurina's POV

Everyone had followed us outside I was taking of my shoes and socks laying them on the balcony. We where going to fight in the field. I turned to Logan as I walked out to the middle of the field and asked with a grin

''Would it be fare if I used all of my tricks?'' He smiled and everyone around us looked confused other then a giggling Kat and Elena who was trying to cover her laugh with a cough. He nodded and I smiled

''a challenge fun!''

Nick sat beside Logan and he said

''Shouldn't you be warning her that he's almost as good as Clayton?'' I almost giggled as I heard Logan say

''She already has beat him in a fight.'' This made the crowd go quiet.

I faced Chris

''You ready?'' he nodded and lunged.

I jumped to the side and got him in the side sending him flying into a tree with a loud grunt. He turned, faced me and charged. I stood still until he was about halfway thru the clearing. And spoke quietly

''Nec ego hinc subnascor, nec ego hinc SUBNASCOR!'' He kept running straight at where I used to be then paused and spun, I was already charging at him throwing a punch straight at his face and knocking his feet out from underneath him with my left foot. He fell to the ground and I stepped lightly on his neck and asked

''I win?'' He nodded and I offered a hand to help him up which he took. And I added sheepishly ''sorry about hitting you in the face. You might want to get it checked to see if your nose is broken or not.'' he nodded and said in a matter of fact tone

''You fight well.'' I smiled at the complement and said

''I try.''

Logan's POV

I stood a little apart from Rina who was talking from one pack member to the next she was being showered with questions and congratulations. I smiled as I watched.

They really did like her.

I noticed Nick walk over to me, we stood in silence watching the girl who had managed to get everyone to either respect her or actually like in about an hours time.

I waited for Nick to comment. He doesn't just stand around quietly for no reason he wanted to talk but I was comfortable with letting him take his time. So I waited.

And not a minute latter he said

''She's something.'' the admiration in his tone surprised me. I let out a small laugh

''Yeah she is'' He nodded and continued

''Now it isn't really my place to say but I think you ought to think about what I have to say.'' I glanced over at his face, it was a face that didn't show any disapproval or reprimands so I nodded and said

''I'll definitely listen to what you have to say'' He smiled boyishly before saying

''How many female wolves are there out there?'' He said I frowned. Was he testing me?

''Three that we know of. Why?'' He smiled and continued

''Your are related too how many of them?'' I almost didn't answer but I'd promised to listen and this kind of falls in that category.

''Two of them. Are you testing my intelligence because I can assure you I'm not dumb'' He snickered at my comment before going on

''So that leave's one. And I promise only two more questions. How many male wolves are out there?'' Piece where falling together as he talked like a complicated puzzle.

''Hundreds.'' He nodded and continued

''I see hundreds too one...'' he grinned and said ''you might want to think about that before the other hundreds make a move'' I frowned as he walked away.

Make a move?

Okay hundreds of wolves...

Why did he ask specifically about male wolves and then female wolves.

Three female wolves. What would being relatives have anything to do with that?

Male and female wolves. Mom and dad are the only...

I groaned.

Of Course!

I'm sooo stupid.

''NICK!'' I roared. Making the others in the field jump. I swear I could hear a faint laugh from inside the house. I almost laughed along with him but decided against it.

Rina walked over and asked

''You alright?'' I chuckled

''Yup'' She smiled with a confused look and said

''Why did you yell at Nick?'' I laughed and said

''He made me realize something.'' She nodded like she understood then said

''I can smell lunch. Lets go?'' I nodded and followed her as she skipped ahead.

Would she pick me from hundreds?

She met my eyes over her shoulder and grinned cockishly and I returned the grin.

Yeah she just might.

Kat's POV

Nick stared me and the eye,

''We did get the order from your mom right?''

''Yes, yes, yes she wants Logan to think about his future that's great, did you talk to him?'' I asked Nick quietly. He smirked and said

''Didn't you hear him yell at me once he figured it out?'' I smirked and said

''I did but I thought that might be just because your so annoying.'' He frowned as I started laughing

''I am not!'' I chuckled

''yes you are'' He smiled just a tiny lift at the side of his mouth.

''How you gonna make her think about getting with your brother?'' I smiled deviously

''I have my ways... You'll see I have a plan in place. All you have to do is make sure that no one other then Rina, Logan and I go upstairs once I give you the signal. Understood?'' He looked at me questioningly before nodding which caused me to grin statistically ''May the plan begin!''

Laurina's POV

Everyone either sat or stood with plates of food. I had never seen so much food in my life.

They must have a couple hundred fridges in this house.

The table was piled high with food and so was the kitchen counter tops. Lot's and lots of sandwiches, pancakes, eggs, pies, and other things I don't know how to name.

I had dumped plenty on my plate and my growling stomach agreed with me as I shovelled it in. Almost everyone else was doing the exact same thing except for Jaime and Hope. They had like a half a sandwich and some salad.

I hadn't eaten such a small amount in a long time.

Everyone was zeroed in on there food except for Nick, Kat and Logan.

Nick glanced from Kat to Logan to me.

Kat was smiling deviously at me and Logan.

And Logan glanced at me every one in a while, I did the same, and every couple glances our eyes would meet and we'd smile before looking back down at our plate's. Kat's smile always seemed scarier every time I saw it.

Kat was staring straight at me now. It was getting creepy.

How can I politely leave? I sighed and thought for a moment before finishing my plate of food quickly. I walked to the kitchen washing my plate I put it away. Walking back in the dinning room I went and stood next to Kat.

''I know your planning something.'' She smiled innocently

''Nooooo why would you think that.'' I squinted my eyes and said

''I'll figure it out you know.'' by then most in the dinning room had stopped to listen. Some wore knowing smile's and some where just as confused as I was.

''I'm sure you will'' She said with a smirk

''I will after I have a shower'' she smiled and said

''you go on right ahead and do that I'll grab some new clothes and a towel for you'' Lot's of people where snickering

''That nice'' I said suspiciously.

''I know right!''

''Alright I guess... But know that I don't trust you.'' She smiled then started skipping out of the room.

''What's not to trust?'' I frowned sceptically at her retreating form but sighed before going upstairs to get ready for my shower.

Logan's POV

I sat at the table finishing my food when Kat came in. She had a worried look on her face. I immediately got up and followed her to the porch outside. She was staring down at her feet which she was shifting nervously as she played with her hands worriedly.

''What is it Kat?'' I ask quietly. She glanced up at my face blue eyes glistening.

''I, I... I might have...'' I frowned

''You might have what Kat?'' She glanced back then down again then said

''I think I messed up the phone we got Rina...'' I sighed she really did suck with waiting and ended up pressing the same thing thirty times and messing stuff up. Though this wasn't the first time she asked for help this was the first time she was embarrassed by her mistake so I gave her a hug

''It's alright I'll go fix it before she notice's it.'' She looked up at me and smiled

''Thanks!'' I laughed

''No problem. I'll be right back.'' I jogged thru the house upstairs and to her room. It was incidentally right across from my own room. Kat's was down the hall a couple doors my parents were on one side of the house and Jeremy the other. The other 6 bedrooms where either storage or extra beds for pack meets.

Walking up the stairs I ran to her room and grabbed the black berry flip of her bed and walked out of her room. I turned it on an started working on starting it.

Kat's POV

I turned of the shower and got out. I searched the medium sized bathroom for a towel and my clothes. I found the bathroom empty other then a note on the counter.

Hey Rina

I didn't know what clothes you wanted to wear soo...

I left them all in your room.

Your room is the second door on your right as you walk out of the bathroom.

You'll also find a surprise me and Logan got you!

Ooh and there is a towel under the sink.

I let out a grateful sigh and reached bellow the sink for the towel... Finding it I lifted it up and suppressed a growl. I sighed and wrapped it around my body.

It barely just covered everything.

I growled and picked up the note and opening the door I looked for my room and dropped the towel in surprise.

Logan was standing their looking at me with bright blue eyes that roamed my body setting it on fire before meeting my eyes. My skin tingled with pleasure and my cheeks flushed red pulling my gaze away suddenly remembering what I was wearing.

Or lack there of.

I blushed harder and quickly wrapped the towel around me.

''Ooh god I'm so sorry, so sorry'' He said eyes wide he turned around quickly dashing to his room.

Embarrassed I dashed into my room and closed the door shut behind me with a tiny slam.

Oh.

My.

God.

That was soooo embarrassing.

Why did I like it?

I shook my head and I quickly got dressed before dashing out of my room. Screaming,

''KATHERIN!''

Logan's POV

I ran to my room across the hall and stuffed my head in my pillow

Oh.

My.

God.

I was intensely aware of the movements Rina was making even though I couldn't see her in her room across the hall I still listened to the sound of her feet running around the room, the drawers being wrenched open and the slight rustling of fabric against fabric.

I heard the door being slammed open and Rina screaming

''KATHERIN!'' I took a deep breath placing the phone down and gathered my clothes very aware of the fact that I needed a shower.

NOW.

I quickly assembled all my stuff and dashed out of the room grabbing a towel as I went.

Latter I would get mad at Kat.

NOW I needed a shower to bring me back to normal.

Laurina's POV

After interrogating Kat and finding out zilch I started pacing the living room.

Apparently my pacing was just the most hilarious thing because they started laughing there asses off. After almost snarling at them I left and started pacing outside.

Reese came out and sat on the step and said

''You seem fidgetty.'' I snarled and he laughed and said ''I'll take that as you saying something's on your mind.'' I laughed

''You could say that'' he smirked and said

''If you want to talk to someone about... what happened. My first choice would be Nick, though I think he was in on the plan so I would talk to Jaime.'' I smiled and said

''Sure, thanks for the advice.'' He nodded getting up and walked into the house.

''No problem.''

Laurina's POV

I talked to Jaime and she agreed right away to come to town with me our excuse was that we are going to bye groceries since we had so many to feed. And we did. We walked in the store accumulating food that everyone liked, mostly bread and meat.

While we walked up and down the aisle I started to relax and talked to Jaime we never approached the topic butt she did set my mind at ease.

After buying the food we loaded it in the fancy looking car that I didn't know the name of Jaime sent me into the post office to get the mail. There were four envelopes. I carried them to the car and handed them over to Jaime.

After looking at them she asked me.

''Does anyone other then the pack know your staying here?'' I nodded

''Savannah but that's it.'' She smiled and handed over a light blue envelope and said

''This is for you.'' My eyes widened grabbing it my stomach tightened as I saw the handwriting there was no return address but I knew who sent it.

My breathing sped up and I tared open the envelope wildly. Taking out the neatly folded piece of paper I unfolded it quickly ignoring the look I was getting from Jaime.

Dear Laurina,

I can't wait to see you it's been so long,

what has it been three years?

And I've decided it's time for a visit.

I hear your a wolf now what a shame...

I'm sure we can fix that.

I hope you haven't forgotten who I am.

We'll see each other soon dear!

Jonathan

I sat there staring at it I realized how careless I'd been at the airport. Of course Jonathan would notice.

I am an IDIOT!

Jaime was staring at me her eyes wide with worry we sat for a moment before she ripped the paper out of my hands. I finally thought about the implications of what this meant and I... well...

I passed out.
