Chapter 05

Natalie’s POV In my dream, I fell into a dark world. In the darkness, a tiny white dot huddled in a corner. I can't make out what it is. "Is that you? My Wolf?” I wondered, but got no answer. I slowly tried to get close enough to see it. Suddenly something red like a flame blocked my way. The flame flew to me, and when my skin touched it, it gave me a piercing pain. So I started running in my dream, trying to escape the red flame. I woke up from my sleep. I was soaking wet, as if I had actually experienced one long-distance running. I'm glad it was just a dream, though I don't know why I dreamed such a strange thing. I got out of bed, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then changed into a pale blue dress. I tied my long white hair into a high ponytail and tied it with a light blue ribbon. I started packing my things into the closet in my room. When I was in the middle of packing, I heard a knock on the door.” Please come in.” I didn't look back. A shy voice said, "Ah, Miss Natalie, I should do this. I didn't bother you when you were sleeping.” Watching her horrified look, I gave her a big smile and said, "It's ok, we can do simple chores when we are children. What's your name?” She did not answer, but looked at me in a daze. "Why? Scared of me?” I patted her on the shoulder. 'No, no, no, how beautiful you are!” I burst out laughing.” You're the second one to say I'm pretty.” I feel very strange, how come here all say I am beautiful? Do werewolves have a different aesthetic here? No one has called me pretty since I was a kid. Of course, no one called me ugly neither. Surely no werewolf would dare call Alpha's daughter ugly. Also, in my community, looks are rarely discussed, and I wonder if it's because of me. "You are so beautiful. It's more beautiful when you smile. Please forgive me for being your personal valet, Kaylor.” She is a lovely girl. "Nice to meet you.” "Miss Natalie, I have come to take you to dinner in the hall. First Beta Dent says the leaders of the pack will also be in the lobby, and they need you to prepare an introduction. Leave your clothes here. I'll come back later fix them. Let me show you to the dining room.” She said as she put the clothes in my hand back into the suitcase. "Well, I happen to be hungry.” Kaylor leads me to the restaurant door. They were all talking when I arrived, and when they saw me they stopped and looked at me. I could hear wow from the crowd, I didn't know what that means. I walked into the hall and their eyes followed me. I felt a cold line of sight from the right. I turned to look to my right and saw a girl with brown hair and gray eyes looking at me with cold eyes. When our eyes met, she quickly looked away. Dent walked over to me just as I was wondering who she was and why she hated me so much.” Miss Natalie, your seat is this way.” Dent walked me to the first two seats and sat me on the right. I'm guessing the next seat is for Ken. Dent looks at me staring at the empty space and explains, "Alpha is still working on something and won't be here until dinner.” Then he stood up and addressed the room. "Attention, everyone, I would like to introduce a new member of the Proud Eagle Pack. She is Miss Natalie. Please give her your warmest regards.” Most of the wolves in the hall clapped and howled enthusiastically, a few of them just looked at me in silence, especially the She-wolves. I know it's my turn to introduce myself. I never tried to speak in public when I was back home. It was always my sister who did it. So now I'm a little nervous, but I can't be weak. I gathered my courage and stood up with my sweetest smile and said, "I am Natalie from Frozen Moon Pack and the daughter of Alpha Orestes. It's a pleasure to meet you and join you.” Everyone was whispering again, and I was going to ignore them. I sat down and focused on destroying the food on the table. The food here is similar to that of the Frozen Moon Pack. After all, everyone went down the mountain to shop, and they could buy all kinds of food. I was really hungry. The plate in front of me was quickly empty. Dent was smiling at me as I lifted off the empty plate. The sun shone on him from the side, and the dimple in his cheek made him even more attractive. He is so hot and so cute. There must be a lot of She-wolves who are crazy about him. What was I thinking? Get a grip on yourself, Natalie. As I was admiring his face, he said, "Miss Natalie, let me show you around. I'm sure you'd like to have a better look at our surroundings.” I got up from my seat when I heard we were going sightseeing.” Yeah, everything here is new to me. Let's go now.” Most of the werewolves in the hall were still eating, so I said sorry and followed Dent out of the dining room. They all smiled at me as I passed by the village. The sun stung my white skin. But IT didn't matter to me. Everyone here had tanned skin, and I wanted to be like them. The werewolves here are fine, and I want to fit in better. If my future is meant to be here, I want to be happy. Dent leads me to the left side of the castle. Here is a big garden with all kinds of flowers and rockery made of stone. It's more beautiful than the road I passed this morning. Like a butterfly, I flit between the garden paths, which will be my primary choice for leisure. Dent then leads me to the right of the castle. To the right of the castle is a forest. Through the forest came the edge of the desert. Sandbags marked several prototypical areas in the desert, with a few bare-torso warriors training. After we stood watching for a while, a big Han man walked up to us, naked from the waist down, with a crew cut. He gives me a sense of the Rock Johnson.” Hey, Dent. You must be Lady Natalie," he said after greeting Dent and turning to me. "Yes, this is the Second Beta Dyer of our pack. You can tell he trains the warrior.” Dent says. "Nice to meet you. Dyer.” He offered me his hand and I was too embarrassed to refuse. As my hand touched his I saw a dark tunnel through which Dyer was moving. The place gave me an eerie feeling, and I shook his hand and quickly released it. He's going to have a serious injury in the future. I don't know why. What kind of situation would a werewolf this strong get hurt in? "Well, Miss Natalie, would you like to come to the training ground?” "He said with a goofy smile. "Well, I'm afraid not. . .” I cut Dent off before he could finish his sentence. "Really? I want to get involved in training.” Dent looked at me in surprise, then at my body and asked incredulously, "Are you sure? Your build?” "Of course, I can.” "I answered confidently. Because I was weak since childhood, I often fell ill. So my father didn't ask me to do anything but train every day. So I learned a lot of close combat skills, and my body is getting stronger and stronger. "I'll have to talk to Alpha first.” Dent is still skeptical. "Why should he allow me to train? My safety is my own responsibility. I'll get dressed tomorrow and practice with you guys. That's settled.” I said, patting Dyer on the arm. I don't know why I thought he was kind. Dent shakes his head. Then he led me to the back of the castle. What was the view beyond the castle? I'm already getting excited before I even get there.
