Chapter 2

Lexi Mitchell’s pov Weeks Later

My butt and back were hurting from sitting in the passenger seat of my mom's car.

After shopping for entire new wardrobes my mom had them shipped to our new address.

We locked up the trailer and said farewell to the pack members as we began our travel.

Relief flooded me at seeing the students for the very last time. I vowed to myself that I would prosper in the new environment. My wolf, Nova, was cheering for me as well and was yipping excitedly in my subconscious.

Having driven from our pack lands in Maine to Oregon with hardly any stops in between I was cramped. Once we reached the state line I eyed my mother.

“Can we please stop so I can stretch out my legs,” I begged my mom.

“Yeah, we can and I will call Johnathan and inform him of our progress. I will stop at the gas station for more fuel,” she replied and I thanked her profusely.

My mother was overly excited about getting to this Johnathan and she was currently programming her GPS for his home address.

“Only fifty more miles and we will be at our new life,” she said excitedly. I pinched my lips together and told her great.

We stopped by a tiny gas station that looked more like a murder mart. I didn't stray away from the car and simply stretched and took a few laps around the pumps and car as she filled up the tank.

After she finished fueling we were already back on the highway and headed toward the mountains.

I returned to stare out the window at the ponderosa pines that littered the landscape.

It was beautiful scenery and full of space for a werewolf to frolic.

We turned off onto a long gravel drive and I side-eyed my mom feeling that the plywood shack would be making its appearance shortly.

Boy, had I been mistaken…

The first thing that caught my eye was the rod iron sign over the road that read Blue Moon.

As we continued up the road two large pack houses were on either side of the asphalt road and a roundabout had a large marble fountain in the middle of it.

“Help me look for a driveway with two lamp posts,” my mom mumbled.

“You're as surprised by this as me, right?”

She looked at me with a smirk.

“Not really, Johnathan is the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack,” she said with a grin.

“What, you are going to become Luna?!”

She looked at me and nodded. My hand went to cover my gasp. I couldn't believe that she and I were going to be at such a high status.

“Why didn't you tell me prior?”

“He asked me not to mention it and that it was unimportant.”

Rolling my eyes I muttered, “The fear of a plywood shack wouldn't have crossed my thoughts,” I muttered.

Laughing, her eyes widened suddenly.

“There it is,” she announced excitedly as she continued up in the driveway.

The huge immaculate house came into view and my eyes widened.

“Holy crap, Mom,” I burst out to hear her chuckle.

“Guess Johnathan wasn't joking about taking care of everything,” she sighed and pulled off the driveway to park near a couple of black SUVs.

Leaning back she said,” Let's grab our things and go to our new house.”

Still in complete shock, I got out and grabbed my things from the back seat.

As we walked up the stairs the front door opened and an attractive older man came rushing down the stairs. The big smile on his face was directed towards my mom. I figured that he was the one who was to become my stepdad.

“Jessica, my dear, you made it safely. You should have flown,” he said firmly as he embraced her and glanced over at me.

“I told you during our conversation that I wanted to spend time with my daughter,” she replied and his eyes fell on me.

“You must be Alexandria, your mother has told me a lot about you. I hope that you will be comfortable in your new life,” he said encouragingly.

“I prefer just Lexi, Sir,” I commented kindly.

“As you wish, Lexi,” he grinned.

Gesturing toward his home he told me and my mom that I had a room prepared upstairs.

Once I entered the large foyer my luggage dropped from my hand as I glanced around the enormous luxurious home.

I could see an Olympic-sized pool through the full glass wall on the other side of the enormous living room.

My mom came to my side and squeezed my hand.

“It's like a dream come true, isn't it,” she whispered in excitement.

I closed my mouth that was hanging open and nodded.

“It certainly beats the trailer we were staying in,” I responded to hear her laughing.

“You never mentioned that you had all of this,” she said softly to Johnathan standing next to her.

He pecked her cheek and grinned.

“True, but now I'm certain that you love me for who I am instead of what I have.”

I watched another older man heading toward us.

“Ladies this man here is my Beta Ryan, please meet my fiance Jessica and her daughter Lexi,” Jonathan asserted.

Ryan shook my hand and smiled at me.

“My son is about your age and is named Sloan. I can see if he can help you with your school schedule since he is at the top of his classes,” he informed me proudly.

“Thank you, sir, I would appreciate that,” I responded and Johnathan interrupted and told him that his sons could help me with all of that.

Watching Ryan bite his lip as he nodded. He glanced at me with concern that sparked my curiosity.

“Sorry for being presumptuous Lexi, I will see you around, good evening Alpha, Luna,” he said curtly and rushed off.

The alpha snapped his fingers and a young housekeeper came hurrying into the foyer with a feather duster in her hand. I laughed at her quickly hiding it behind her back as she approached Johnathan.

“Lilly, I'm assigning you to assist Lexi, she is the daughter of my soon-to-be wife and Luna. Please take her and show her to her room and assist her with whatever she may need,” he asserted.

“Yes, Alpha. Come with me, miss,” she said kindly.

Grabbing my bag I started to follow but as we reached the landing Johnathan shouted up at us.

“Be sure she is dressed appropriately for dinner Lilly!”

Glancing down at my mom I sent her a questioning glare. It seemed to be that Mister Sparks was a controlling blowhard underneath his kind exterior. My mom shook her head at me and walked away with him.

“Is he always an ass,” I questioned the housekeeper and the younger woman curled her lip, remaining quiet as she gestured for me to continue to follow her.

On the second floor, there was a long hall with a sitting area separating the length.

“Your room is the double doors at the end of the hall to your right. The boys are on the left across from yours and this area is for you and the Alpha's sons to watch television and play darts and pool,” she informed me.

Glancing at the room we entered I can see a sectional, flatscreen television, and a large window with a pool table in front of it. There was a full deck that was through the sliding glass doors.

“There are stairs that lead from the deck down to the pool,” she added.

My eyes were scanning everything in utter shock. Continuing down the hall she brought me to my room and I swallowed in surprise at the huge area.

“This is larger than our entire trailer,” I muttered in disbelief. It was like being placed in a fairytale.

I walked past Lily who was holding open both doors to see all the items in my room.

“Introduce us to our new sister, Lily,” a familiar man's voice suddenly said.

Whipping my head in the direction of the voice I almost screamed. Standing there was Nolan and Nathan Sparks. The very same tormentors from my old pack and they looked as startled as I was.
