"I am sorry for my rudeness, Skylar," the retired Alpha said. Chris took a sip of his drink and studied me, and I had a feeling that he knew who my "father" was. "I had to make sure that you would be a right fit for this pack."

I raised an eyebrow as I sat next to my mate, not acknowledging the other two men. My attention was fully on the retired Alpha, because I had a feeling that that he would be the one that I needed to impress. "Because..?"

"It is no joke that we are the strongest pack in the States as well as the world," he said, causing me to nod my head. He nodded his head, acknowledging the fact that I all ready knew that. "My son needs a Luna that will be able to protect herself and others if there is a problem." He took a sip of his drink, his eyes darkening in an unknown anger. "People will go after you."

"That's Sky for you," Thomas said, sitting down next to me. He nodded his head in greeting to the two other men in the room and glanced at me. "She is able to protect herself and others. She is a strong female that will stand for what is right."

"You make me sound like a saint," I said, taking a sip of my drink. I rolled my eyes when he just shrugged his shoulder and gave me an innocent smile before I looked at the Beta. "Benjamin," I said in greeting.

Ben nodded his head in greeting and didn't meet my gaze. His face was pale, and I could tell that the spell was working. The spell was warning, and I hoped that he learned that it would stop if he didn't think about other females in a... sexual way. "Skylar," he said, nervously.

"I am Frank," the Beta said, causing me to look at him. He had this faraway look in his eyes, and I could tell that maybe he was the reason as to why Ben had reacted the way he did to Katie.

"Skylar," I said, nodding my head in greeting.

"Are you the Skylar Ross?" one of Drake's siblings asked. "The one that steals children away from mean people?"

I nodded my head. "That would be me," I confirmed. "And your name is..."

"Parker, and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." He jumped out of his seat and walked over to me. He kissed my hand and winked. "I would like to pleasure you in many ways."

I pulled my hand away from the kid and raised an eyebrow. I nudged Drake when he growled, softly and claimed mine in his. "You are ten, and I am mated to your brother. I don't think so, Kid."

Parker scowled and folded his arms across his chest. He tried to stare me down but backed up a small bit when I growled softly. "I am eleven, and I am sure that Drake doesn't mind sharing you." He looked at his older brother, and I could tell that he was wanting him to agree with him. "Right?"

I took my hand from my mates and clenched them at my side, annoyed. "First off, I am not a toy, so back off. Secondly, I do not think that Drake will like sharing me with you, because Alpha's are overly protective and possessive of their mates. Thirdly, you are still a kid and should be playing with trucks and whatever else kids play with these days instead of looking for love. So, sit back down in your seat, and shut your mouth."

Thomas and the others snickered as Parker huffed and sat back down in his seat. 'Another Snitch?' he asked, causing me to groan through the link. 'Hey, he might not be that bad.'

I gave him a look, causing him to shift in his seat and snort. A smirk appeared on my lips, because I knew that he was thinking what I was thinking. If this boy was anything like Snitch, then it was best to keep him on our good side.

"So, what pack did you two come from?" Chris asked, causing us to look at each other. He furrowed his brows and looked between us when we didn't answer right off the bat. Worry flickered through his eyes, and I was sort of surprised that he was all ready worried about me. "Well?" he asked.

"I would rather not say, if that is alright with you," I replied, coldly. I took a bite of food and had to bite back a moan. Damn, this was good. "I am..."

"She isn't comfortable with saying," Thomas said, saying what I was feeling. He knew that words made me uncomfortable, so he had became my words as well as Katie. "She'll tell when she trusts you."

"Does Drake know?" Frank asked, causing Thomas and I to nod in confirmation. Frank frowned but nodded his head, not pushing on the subject. He glanced at me with sympathetic eyes, and I could tell that he probably knew as well.

"I don't know if you mind or not, but Alpha Nathaniel from the High Rise Pack is coming," Chris said, eating some of his steak. He looked up at me when he said that, gauging my reaction.

My whole body tensed automatically at the sound of his name. I could tell that he had a hunch that he knew my father, and I couldn't help but wonder as to how he knew.

"Did you know, that you have your father's eyes and pride?" he asked, arching an eyebrow. "You might have his stupidity, but that maybe only because of the situations that he placed you in."

"Christopher," Bea scowled, slapping him across the head. She stared at me with worried eyes, and I knew the reason why.

I was trying not to shift into my Wolf form, that comment fueling my Wolf's and my anger. I hated being a Feral Wolf, because it was hard controlling her when both of us were angry and made it ten times as hard to keep calm.

I knew that I didn't have any reason to attack him. However, my Wolf wanted blood, and she wanted his.

"Sky?" Drake asked, grabbing hold of my hand. He squeezed my hand, trying to get my attention towards him. Worry filled his voice, and I could tell that that it was painful for him to see me like this. "Relax."

"What is happening?" one of his sisters asked. "Is she alright?" She glanced at me with a worried expression, and I was sure that she was mated to an Alpha. She would make a good Luna.

"I will be," I said through gritted teeth. I placed my fork down on my plate and stood up, causing the chair to be tossed to the side. "Excuse me." My whole body was shaking as my wolf started to force a shift, and I knew that my eyes were like my Wolf's.

And, with that, I raced towards the exit, fighting my Wolf every step of the way. 'Jerecho,' I called out just before I lost control of my Wolf.

I prayed that I wouldn't hurt someone as everything turned red and the last bit of my humanity drifted away.
