---- Amarah 1am shocked, confused and stunned as I look at my Brother's Mate, Delia.

She has her head bowed with her eyes on the floor, a sign of respect to High-ranking Werewolves and Lycans and something tells me in this case it is not a sign of respect but one of fear.

Delia, I want you to look at me.

I say and I wait until she lifts her head up to look at me.

I am nothing more than you, without my Pack-members I can't be an Alpha and I treat every member with respect.

I am not sure if I want to know the story behind your behavior, but when you are ready I will listen to you.

What I want you to remember is that using my title and a small bow of your head is enough to show your respect.

In my office or on the Alpha floor you call me by my name, after all you are my Sister in law.

I say.

Delia looks at me with tears in her eyes and I pull her in my arms for a hug as I link Alastor to keep Max under control.

Mom is standing at the bottom of the stairs with Dad and the looks on their faces shows me that they heard and saw everything.

Dad, please calm down.

When Delia is ready she will tell us how she was raised and until that day we will show her how we treat our Pack-members.

I run this Pack the same way you and Grandpa have always done and Delia will find out that there are many more ways to run a Pack.

---- Now, let us go to the dining room to get some food, I believe these two need it to build some stamina.

I say and Alastor growls at me while Delia turns slightly red.

I follow Alastor and Delia down the stairs and I see Delia stiffen as Dad gives her a hug.

lone, who sees it happen, gives me a questioning look and through the mind-link I tell her that Delia was raised in a very different way from our upbringing.

lone just nods her head and introduces herself to Delia, Alastor growls when lone links her arm with Delia and pulls her towards the dining room.

Delia is surprised to see so many of our Pack in the dining room and I tell Alastor through the mind-link to stay close to her, / have this feeling her former Pack makes it known that if you are not of a High-rank you dont matter, I dont know if I want to know what else they are about.

We sit down for dinner and I link everyone to do as they normally do, to show Delia that our Pack is very different from the one she was born in.

Melia asks if Delia knows what the Alpha bloodline competition is and after she nods her head Alastor tells her that I am entering.

He tells her he will explain everything when they are back in their room, because the reason behind my entry of the competition is a sensitive one and best not discussed over dinner.

But we will watch her play Capture the Flag before we return to our room.

Alastor says and Delia turns a bright red color.

---- Eos tells her why I play the game and that we do it three times a day, twice with Warriors and once with the Pups.

The Pups love playing that game and if it were up to them we would be playing it twenty four seven.

Rhea comments, but we all know that it is the truth.

Delia tells us that the Alpha of her former Pack and his Son will also be entering, Alpha Mason never told me the name of that Pack and I ask her if she can tell me the name of her former Pack.

We all start laughing after she tells us the name of her former Pack and Delia looks at us with a confused look on her face.

At least now I understand your behavior and I can guarantee you that I will kick his ass if I have to fight him in the competition.

I say as only lone, Melia, Eos and Rhea know about the draw and I am not about to reveal this to anyone else.

Delia asks if I ever met him, but I to tell her I never did.

I only spoke to him once over the phone after I took over from Dad and it wasn't a pleasant conversation, he asked Dad if he had lost his mind.noveldrama

That a female's place was out of the publics eye, preferably barefoot and pregnant.

That a female shouldn't be allowed to speak unless she was asked a question and to obey every order given to her.

I say and Dad and Alastor still have trouble controlling their Wolves at the memory of that conversation.

Delia nods her head and I know she will be shocked with ---- our way of living for a while, the way our males treat females is so different from what she is used to.

Alastor pulls her onto his lap, Delia, I am nothing like the males in your former Pack and neither is any male here.

You are allowed to speak your mind and you don't have to do anything you are not comfortable with, no one will ask you to.

You are my Mate, not my slave.

Alastor says as he looks into her eyes, hoping she can see that he is being truthful with her.
