As we drove down the long entrance road to the compound, I relaxed. I had been sitting here for the last 15 minutes barely able to get a good breath because I thought any second she was going to change her mind; want to go back to New Orleans. She was looking out the window and I couldn't really tell what she was thinking.

Hopefully once the mating process started I would be able to hear her thoughts and feel her emotions and vice versa by the time it was complete. She perked up when she caught glimpses of the main house through the trees. Hopefully she loved everything she saw because God willing it was where she would be living for the rest of her life. When we broke though the tree line she saw the antebellum style house that my grandfather had built himself.

I actually saw her smile a little, that was good. The house was all natural wood colors with a dark patched roof so it blended in perfectly with the surrounding woods. It was a three-story house with wrap around porches on all levels. The bottom floor windows were all French doors. The wrap around porches were big and wide with rocking chairs, lawn chairs and other comfortable outdoor furniture.

It was only about 10 AM so there were people milling about, walking in and out of the surrounding trees and coming from the main rode. She was looking at everyone we passed as we drove the trucks to the side of the house. After getting back to the garage, a couple hundred feet adjacent to the house, Eddie cut off the car and he and JP immediately got out. She didn't go to move so I didn't either. All she did was stare through the front window at some of my men fixin' a pick up truck in the back of the huge garage. After a few minutes I was getting antsy and was about to ask her if she wanted to talk when she just opened the door and calmly got out.

Quickly I hopped out to and came to stand beside her at the back of the truck. Now she was staring at the new additions I put on the back of the house last year. Using her hand to shade her eyes she looked up at me.

"This is a very beautiful home, but I'm hungry and you promised to feed me. And it's kind of hot so can we go in there, or do I have to stay out here?" she asked with a little smile on her face. It would seem that her mood was getting better. Maybe this wasn't going to be so hard after all.

"Sure,

catin

." I said smiling. I grabbed her hand and lead her to the house. We passed two male thetas walking together. They were appraising her when I sent out a silent growl and they immediately snapped their attention elsewhere. I was feeling real territorial and didn't want anyone really to notice her, which was inevitable because she was human and no doubt by now Lila has told everyone that I was bringing someone back. So everyone was gonna want to take a good look at her, since she could possibly be the new alpha bitch and all.

We got to the back screen door and I opened it. She walked in and waited for me to come through too. Blinking a couple of times so her vision could adjust from being out in the bright sun, she looked around. We were standing in the kitchen, lucky for me breakfast was over. I don't think she would have appreciated walking into a room where everyone would openly stare and sniff at her. The only person that was in here with us was a female omega and her name was Louisa. She was putting something away in the fridge when she turned and noticed me. Smiling she sat whatever it was down and came to greet me.

A breeze was blowing through the door so no doubt she smelled that Evie had my scent all over her and vice versa. Stopping in front of me, I could hear her mental worries about calling me Alpha in front of a human.

"It's okay Louisa, you can call me that." I said drawing Evie's attention from Louisa back to me.

"Hi Alpha." She said while giving a bow of the head. "It's good to have you back what can I do for you?" she asked next.

"Go alert Lila, Beau, Maggie and tell them I'm here but tell everybody to stay away from the kitchen for least an hour. And Louisa this is Evangeline." I said before kissing her hand I still held and then putting her over my heart. It signaled that she was special to me. I didn't want to say anything more because while she didn't freak out at Louisa calling me Alpha, she might freak out being referred to as the new Alpha bitch.

"And Evie, this Louisa. She is one of the best cooks in southern Louisiana." I said looking at her to gage her reaction. She was looking curious more than anything.

"Hi Louisa, and like he said I'm Evangeline. It very nice to meet you." She stuck her hand out for Louisa to shake. Louisa gave a big smile and took her hand and shook it.

"Nice to meet you too, Ma'am." With that she looked back at me.

"That will be all Louisa, you can go now." She smiled and gave another head bow and turned walked back across the kitchen and out into the hallway.

"Now for your food. Let's see what I can cook up." I said while leading her across the huge kitchen and to one of the island seats so she could be near me while I cooked for her. She sat down and had this weird smile on her face.

"She called me Ma'am." She said through a laugh. "It looks like we're the same age." She looked up at me. I turned and began to wash my hands.

"Um, well you might be getting that a lot. Don't worry about it though." I said over my shoulder. After drying my hands off I turned back to her.

"I'm fixin' to make you the best omelet you have ever tasted. But before that I need to know it you don't like anything or if you're allergic to anything." I said while rolling up my selves. She shook her head no and I headed over to the big sub zero fridge. I began to take out eggs, spiced bacon, onions, green bell peppers, and some Cajun Boudin blanc (home-made smoked sausage). I debated putting on some biscuits but decided against it, because I would take to long to cook. Putting all my ingredients on the island I went to the cupboard and fished out two skillets.

I put both skillets on opposite eyes of the industrial size stove and lit one. I sliced open the spiced bacon and laid six stripes into the skillet. Turning back to the island I quickly chopped up all of the other ingredients and put them into a bowl. As I was to start cracking some eggs she finally said something.

"So you told me when we got here you would explain what was going on and what you are, so how about we start with what you are." She said while looking determinedly at me.

"Well I'm what people in these parts would call

Rougarou

or werewolf." I said as I cracked eggs into a bowl.

"What did you get mauled by a radioactive wolf or something?" she asked me looking so serious.

"No,

catin

I was born this way. Both my father and mother are

Rougarou

and so are all the people on the land and most of the people in the little town we passed through before we got here." I laughed while placing the bowl down and turned to cut the other eye on.

"Oh really, that sounds French and mysterious." She said smiling and looking skeptical at the same time.

"Its, Cajun French

catin. Loup garou

is French for werewolf and yes we are kinda mysterious. Can't go havin' the whole world tryin' to kill us for what we are. Or worse, havin' them exploit us for some sick personal gain." I said as I began to dump the first bowl of ingredients into the hot skillet.

"Ok, so what happens to the people that find out what you are?"

"Well, that hasn't happened in a long time 'cause we keep to ourselves and no one really comes to this area who ain't wolf. And when it did happen, it was by accident and the human female ended up joining the pack because she was a mate to one of the thetas. " I smiled over my shoulder her before I poured the eggs into the sizzling pan. Then I took the bacon off and sat them on a paper towel.

"What do you mean by theta?" she asked curiously.

"Wolf packs have a hierarchy system. You have the Alpha and the Alpha Bitch, they are the leaders and strongest of the pack. Then you have betas, they are like the elite warriors of the pack. They are the first line of defense if there was ever to be an attack on the compound. Next are the thetas, now while they are not as strong or as fast as the betas, they can still hold their own and they also protect the surrounding areas with the betas. Lastly you have the omegas, they can fight but not as good as the betas or thetas because they are small in stature compared to them also. So they mostly stay on the compound and do everyday chores. Louisa that was just in here was an omega. She is the head of the kitchen staff." I quickly made her a perfect fluffy omelet and after I was done I put her food on her plate and fished a fork out a draw and placed it in front of her.

"Wow, that seems kind of like a lot. And what do you mean Alpha Bitch? Please don't tell me you have a wife or something." She looked like she was about to take off toward the door. I would have smiled but she looked seriously worried.

"No,

catin

I don't have a mate." Not yet I thought. "My sister Lila is the acting Alpha Bitch until I mate." She relaxed back, smiled then blushed.

"Why are you calling her a b-bitch isn't that kind of mean?" She asked shyly. I smile then, if she was blushing at me for calling my sister that, wonder how she's going to react when she inherits the title.

"When we say bitch

catin

, we say it as a form of respect. It's a term of endearment we bestow upon our women. They give birth to our future generations, nurture, teach, and love them like no other can." Her blush got a little dark and her eyes rounded a little. She was unconsciously licking her lips and all I could do was lean in toward her. Looking her at partially open lips almost made me forget what I was talking about.

"So when you hear someone referrin' to a woman here on the compound as a bitch, look at the smile on her face and see how her chest puffs out a little. It's an honor to be a wolf bitch

catin,

because they literally carry the future." I whispered right before I pulled her to me and gave her a very erotic kiss. I was tempted to just throw her over my shoulder and take her to my room, but she needed to eat if I was going to keep her in bed later.

Our tongues clashed and sensually rub up against each other. It was makin' me light headed and it was making my wolf want out. He was pushin' me to claim her right then and there. Just then she pulled away and gasped for air. Her lusty eyes were tearin' me apart. But I backed up and took a couple of cleansing breaths.

"Eat ya food

catin

before it gets cold. Then I'll take you on a tour of the house." I turned away from temptations before I completely lost control. I began to put the dishes in the sink and the ingredients back into the fridge. After a few seconds I heard her fork hitting the bottom of plate. I smiled because she was chewing so fast, she must have been really hungry. After I was done putting the things away, I went and sat next to her. She looked briefly at me and smiled, then went back to eating her food.

She was the most beautiful creature I had ever met. I could not help but silently thank God for bringing her into my life. Her hair was swept up into a ponytail high at the top of her head showing off her graceful and slender neck. The sun that was coming through the skylights was making her skin and hair almost glow. I could stay here forever and just stare at her.

I could hear movement out in the hallway and practically feel their curiosity. And just then Lila walked through the hallway door. Only Maggie was brave enough to follow her. Thankful Evie was just about finished with her breakfast. They crossed the room and before I could even send off a mental warning for her not to start any shit, she spoke directly to Evie.

"So, who are you darlin' and why are you here?" I couldn't believe she was acting this rude and I was just about to mentally tear into her hide.

Nope, big bra I gotta do this my way. JP already told me this is your mate and if that is true, then it is up to me to make sure that she can stand on her own. And more importantly I want to make sure she can stand up to me, seein' that she is gon' be the new Alpha Bitch and all.

She said.

I don't care-

but she cut me off.

No, as acting Alpha Bitch I have the right to question any female human or wolf on this compound without your interference. And if you don't believe me go call and ask mama. Now, I won't take it too far but I gotta see what she's made of. I gotta see what type of back bone she got. So sit back and shut up.

She replied while staring Evie down.

I really couldn't dispute that fact, my wolf and me were pissed but I really couldn't do anything about it. Because it was her right to deal with all females on the compound even if my protective instincts had me wantin' to go for my sister's throat. Evie looked shocked for a split second then composed herself. Without looking at me once, she got up and squared her shoulders and walked around the island to stand in front of Lila.

If you take it to far Lila, I'm ripping your head off and I don't care if we are kin.

I said as I sat back and folded my arms. Hopefully this wouldn't end in Evie unwittingly challengin' my sister. I knew that she could handle my sister, she was my mate after all but what I didn't know was how this was going to turn out. I did want all of them to get along, because they were the most important women in my life. I sighed and sent another prayer up to God. This was gonna be interesting.

~*~

Wow this woman had balls. Something told me to go stand in front of her and when I got around the island I couldn't miss that her and the younger woman looked strikingly similar to Ray. These two must be his sisters I thought. They both had long dark hair and soft green eyes. They both were about my height. The older one just had a more mature look about her. Like she commanded respect. The younger one was off to the side looking at me curiously.

"I'm Evangeline and Ray invited me here. Who are you Darlin?" I stated while folding my arms. I got this weird feeling that she was testing me or something. It was kind of funny, I knew she wasn't interested in Ray like that Amy character was so I didn't feel overly hostile toward her.

She smirked and folded her arms also.

"Lila, so whatcha want with hoss here?" She asked nodding towards Ray who was sitting at the counter. I couldn't help but smile. If I didn't know any better I would think that she was the female version of John Paul. This family was very inquisitive.

"Well, Lila I'm sorry to say but that's really not your business." I stated simply while looking her straight in the eye. I wasn't being rude to her but something told me not to give in so easily and just answer her question.

"Oh really." She asked and my reply was just shrugging my shoulders indifferently. She arched one of her eyebrows and I had to hold back my smile.

"I'm guessing he told you about us being werewolves." She was getting brazen. I just shrugged again.

"Are you afraid of us now? Are you afraid of Ray?" She asked challengingly. I decided to answer her then.

"No, not at all."

"Are you afraid of me?" I smiled at that. That made her frown.

"Not. At. All." I stated simply while never once breaking eye contact.

"Oh really?" She said quietly. Then she slowly started to circle me. I wasn't having any of that and started to circle her also. I fleeting wondered how upset Ray would be if his sister and I got into a fight but quickly put that into the back to my mind. I never lost eye contact with her and I didn't know how far this little test of hers was going to go but I wasn't going to back down from it what ever it was. We slowly circled each other for about two minutes. Something inside me told me I could show no weakness.

Then I remembered that she was a werewolf and it was likely that she could change like Ray could. That had me worried for a second but then I thought that us being this close, I could easily knock her out if I had to. Not bragging to myself but I knew my right cross was professional boxing worthy.

She stopped, so I did too. After what seemed like eternity, she broke contact and looked at Ray and smiled. I guess I passed. Turning back to me she stuck her hand out.

"Sorry about that it was just an Alpha Bitch thing. Lila Anna LeRoux and it is very nice to finally meet you." I couldn't help but smile back at her and even blushed a little at hearing her call herself an Alpha Bitch. But Ray said it was a term of endearment. She had a very strong hand shake. Damn, this woman had a thunder grip. I winced inwardly but keep the smile on my face.

"So, you're his sister's huh?" I asked while making eye contact with the younger one. She smiled and unexpectedly launched at me and gave me a near bone-crushing hug. Yeah, this lot was definitely strong.

"Oh gosh, sorry." She said as she let me go. I took a grateful breath and quickly told her no worries. She was quite the little thing, she was practically bouncing with excitement.

"Hi, I'm Magnolia Shelby LeRoux but you can call me Maggie. Sorry 'bout that again, I'm a hugger. Oh you're so pretty! So where are you from? And cute shorts by the way." Maggie said.

"Thanks, it's fine. I'm from Chicago and you are very pretty yourself." I said as I smiled at the girl. And her middle name sounded familiar. I wonder if it was from...

"Um, if you don't mind me asking are you named after the movie Steel Magnolias?"

"Yeah, my mama saw the movie right before I was born and practically fell in love with it." She said cheeringly. "Chicago huh, you must have some amazing clothes. O', did you bring any with you?" She asked me while clapping excitingly. For a second I could only smile at her because she reminded me so much of Chelsea.

"Calm down girl, give her a second to answer your first question." Lila said jokingly while butting in. "I'm sure we will be gettin' to know her a lot better in the up coming days. But first, I have to introduce her to the girls as the new Alpha-"

Before she could continue, Ray decided to reinsert his self back into the conversation by cutting his sister off. I briefly wondered about what she was about to say.

"No! I haven't shown her round yet and, I want to be the one to make the official announcement." He said as he came around the island while putting his hand around my waist. I looked up at him and he was staring at his sister. For a second it looked like they were having an internal conversation. He suddenly smiled down at me and bent and kissed my nose. I heard Lila and Maggie lightly gasp.

"Well hell Ray, you are the slowest man I know. How are you gon' let her just bite you and you not finish it. You got me excited for nothing you Jackass." Lila said while looking exacerbated. And Maggie was looking equally exacerbated with her hands on her hips.

"I was just gettin' to that now leave us alone for a little while. Look, just keep everybody from disturbin' us." And with that said he grabbed my hand and led me out of the kitchen. I barely had time to wave them goodbye let alone hide my embarrassment about the bite. I also wanted to ask finish what but before I could, he led me into a wide-open hallway.

Once we steeped out the kitchen, we came to a wide-open space that Ray called the den. It was as huge as the kitchen if not bigger and it was sunken in the floor about three feet, giving the appearance of high ceilings. There were three sets of French doors on the opposite wall that were open and letting a cool breeze in. In the middle of the floor there were five big black couches in a u-shaped pattern. Two regular sized coffee tables were pushed together in the middle of the couches. Up against the left wall was a big screen that was on a stand so it could be propped up higher, around that were stacks of DVD's on the floor.
