ROSIE

POV

I was able to fry a lot of pancakes for everyone. Angel and Nate woke up very late but they made it on time for breakfast. We all sat down to eat including Maria. Although she sat very close to me making sure her body touched mine. Well it's fine at least she agreed to eat with all of us so that's all that mattered.

While we were eating, I noticed that Smith eyes were on her. He watched as she was eating and would somehow smile unconsciously.

I couldn't help but wish I had someone who would look at me just with the same look he has in his eyes. You could see the love, care, and warmth coming from his eyes as he looked at her. Unfortunately for me, my mate has never looked at me with such look on his face. The only look he gives me is anger and disgust. I wonder why he can't just be like his friend.

"Hey Rosie are you okay? You look lost and your not touching your meal?"

Maria's voice brought me out of my thoughts.

"Oh I'm fine. Don't mind me was just thinking about something. Do you need anything?" I asked her.

She shook her head.

"Rosie are you sure you are okay? I mean you actually seems down. Is everything the matter?" Angel asked me.

"No I'm fine. Don't worry about me honestly I'm fine." I said hoping they would be convinced.

"Alright then. After breakfast we would have to talk. All of us." Nate said.

I didn't need someone to tell me that we were actually going to talk about Maria. I wonder how the meeting with the alpha went last night. I just hope he allows Maria to stay here with us. She is a nice girl and I'm so connected to her already.

We all finished eating our pancake well except Maria who claimed she was full after just eating just a little. But we couldn't force her to eat more because maybe her system was used to eating little. After we cleared the dishes, we all sat in the living room.

"So we went to talk to the alpha about Maria's case and he insisted to see Maria himself before he can decide whether we are going to keep her in our pack or not." Nate said not beating around the bush.

I turned to look at Maria who was sitting next to me.

"Maria are you going to be okay meeting the alpha?" I asked her.

She let out a sigh before She spoke.

"Well even if I'm not going to be okay, I have to try because it's necessary I meet the alpha. I have no other choice. But I need one favour from you."

"What is it?" I asked her.

"I don't know if you can come with me. I don't want to go there alone. I don't think I would be able to face him all by myself. But if you're with me I guess I will be fine. Please Rosie." she begged. "Erm Maria I don't think I can do that." I said slowly.

"Please Rosie or else I'm not going." Maria said stubbornly.

Wow didn't know she had a little traits of stubbornness in her.

"Well it's fine Rosie you can come with us. We will explain to the alpha when we get there. I'm sure he will understand." Smith said.

"Alright then when do we leave?" I asked hoping he will say in three hours so I can fully prepare.

"Now." he answered.

"Oh that's nic....wait what? NOW?" I asked with my eyes wide open.

I heard someone laugh and everywhere became quiet only the laughter was heard.

I turned to see Maria laughing so hard with her eyes closed. Wow I never knew she could laugh. Don't get me wrong I thought she won't laugh like immediately but the way she's opening up to us is so amazing and surprising.

I turned to see the other's reaction. Well let's say they all looked surprised like me. Smith had a bright smile on his face as he kept looking at her.

Maria opened her eyes and stopped laughing when she saw she had an audience.

"Oh I'm sorry. I couldn't hold myself from laughing. I'm sorry." she quickly apologized looking like she just committed a crime.

"No Maria it's fine. Your laugh is actually so beautiful. Please feel free to laugh anytime okay." Angel said.

She blushed and look down.

"Alright back to what we were saying. Rosie we have to go there immediately." Nate said.

"But isn't it early?" I asked him.

"Nope I'm sure the alpha is expecting us already so let's move." he said standing up.

I stood up helping Maria up. We walked to Nate's car and fixed ourselves inside. At least it was okay for all of us to fit in.

Nate drove us to the alpha's house. Immediately we arrived, I felt my body system changed. Well what do you expect, I was going to see my so called mate who hates me that's why I feel this way. As we were walking to the door I felt Maria squeeze my hand. I turned to her and gave her a smile reassuring her that everything will be fine. Well I think I don't have to think about my so called mate as I have Maria as a responsibility to look after.

When we entered, we were ushered in by a maid and was taken to the alpha's office. Well I have only been here like I think maybe four times. One was when my dad came with me to speak to the alpha. Then I was little. Then the second time was when my parents died. The third time was when my grandmother died then the fourth one was when I was given scholarship after my status changed to Omega. Now this is going to be the fifth time.

The doors opened and I took a deep breath like I was the one who was going to have a talk with the alpha and not Maria.

We all entered and the alpha was on his seat with his wife and son on both sides.

We all bowed to them before sitting down.

"I can see you all made it in time." alpha Bryan said.

"Yes sir we did and with us is my mate Maria." Smith said.

Alpha Bryan attention went to Maria whose head was low.

"Maria is it?" he asked her.

"Yes sir." she whispered.

"Hey I don't want you to be scared of me or of anyone. I just need you to answer my questions correctly." he said to her.

Maria held my hand so tightly refusing to let go of it.

"Alright sir." she answered.

"So Maria can you tell me how old are you?" he asked her.

"I'm 16 years old." she answered.

"And how were you able to enter my pack without being noticed by another?" He asked her.

"I'm sorry if I was trespassing but I was running from some people when I stumped into your pack. I also don't know how I can only say that I found myself inside your territory." she answered.

"So tell me were you born a rogue or you were born in a pack?" he asked her.

"I was born in a pack." she said slowly.

I turned to look at her as all eyes were now on her.

Well I knew that she wasn't completely a rogue because she wasn't aggressive as they all were.

"So what happened to your family and why did you become a rogue?" alpha Bryan asked her.

"I was 8 years when my pack was attacked by rogues. They killed so many people that day including my parents. They kidnapped we the children and either sold some to be slaves or they used us as science lab rats." she said as a tear fell from her eyes. I rubbed her hand trying to console her

The atmosphere was so uneasy as everyone were all feeling so angry about what she just said.

"If I may ask, which pack are you from?" alpha Bryan asked.

"Rainfall pack." she answered.

The Luna let out a gasp.

"Oh my. You are from there. We heard what happened to your pack 8 years ago. It was really bad." she said as she looked at Maria with pity.

"So tell me what status were you before you were kidnapped?" alpha Bryan said.

"My father was the gamma." she said.

I looked at her with my eyes wide. She sure had a good position. She and Smith are perfect for each other.

"Your father was gamma Dominic right?" alpha Bryan asked.

"Yes sir."

"So can you tell us what happened to the remaining children and how you were able to escape?" he asked.

"Most of them are slaves while some died as they were lab rats. The scientist couldn't get the perfect formula of what he needed so he ordered that they dispose us that were the surviving lab rat. We had to plan how to escape because we didn't want to die. We were able to leave there but they followed us and killed so many that ran. I was able to hide in a river covering my scent that was why I wasn't caught." she said as she wiped her tears.

I pulled her into my chest hugging her. She has really gone through a lot. After she had calmed down, I let go of her.

"So my last question and we are done. Do you want to join our pack and are you ready to accept Smith here as your mate?" alpha Bryan asked.

"I would love to join this pack because I have no one to go to if I am to go back home. And I don't know anything about mates. I'm still not used to having people around especially the male gender because of the bad experience I had with them. But I will try to be a mate to him." she said looking at Smith who was already looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Alright with that being said, Maria we welcome you to our pack. We will hold your swearing in soon. Welcome to the evergreen family."

Alpha Bryan said smiling.
