The Alpha Manor was split up into several sections on what was probably at least five acres. In the center was the Alpha house, where the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and their families lived. It was a basically a castle with five stories and took up at least an acre by itself. Next to the castle, there was a smaller mansion. It was also a castle, but it was much smaller, and it housed the top three warriors and their families. In the group of houses also laid a large guest house that could house anyone who needed to visit the pack. Usually the visitors consisted of an Alpha, Beta, and Gamma with three warriors, at most, or a family or two. In between the smaller mansion and the Alpha house, there was the pack house. It was the second largest building and housed all of the unmated wolves over 18 and newly mated wolves, who 
                          
A little ways away from the three buildings rested a huge training ground in which all the warriors spent hours on.
                          
On the opposite side of the training group was a huge ballroom. It was the second largest building in the entire pack because it was meant to fit the entire pack, excluding the omegas. I, being an omega had never been in it before so when I was it, my jaw dropped. I hadn't even seen the main ballroom and I was already flabbergasted.
                          
When we arrived, Anna ushered us into the back door of the ballroom, claiming that no one was allowed to see us yet. The back door let us into a wide, spacious hallway that had a least ten doors on each side and a large double door at the end. On the wall of the hallway, there were gorgeous paintings and artwork, all of which had to be very old, but not a speck of dust laid on any of them. I didn't get long to admire the pieces of work, before Anna pushed Lily and I into a room on the left side of the hallway.
                          
The room was decently large, probably the size of my whole apartment. It was an elegant dressing room, with old fluffy couches and long sitting stools. There was a mirror connected to an old dresser that looked like it would creek with every movement. The items in the room were old, but it added to the elegance and beauty of it all. It was a waiting room fit for a princess.
                          
There was other woman in the room who was wearing a dark purple dress. It was long like Lily's and was an off the shoulder short sleeve. The upper part was beaded and so was the bottom which sparked against the satin material. She had dark brown hair that was pulled into an elegant low bun with curled hairs framing her face. On top of her head was a crown, slightly smaller than Lily's.
                          
"Girls, this is Faye, the soon to be Gamma Female. Faye, this is the soon to be Luna, Kenzie, and Beta Female, Lily," Anna introduced us.
                          
After introductions, Lily, who was more comfortable with this whole thing, moved and sat upright on a bench with her legs crossed. She peaked out of the perfectly white curtains, which gave me a glance of outside. The sun was setting through the trees, making the sky erupt in shades of pink, red, and yellow. People were scattered outside wearing ties and heels. Lily shut the drapes before someone had a chance to look at us.
                          
Anna made us stand up and do a few twirls, to make sure our dresses were princess perfect, before she rushed out of the room to check on something. Faye and Lily sat back down in silence, probably beginning to get nervous. I would have comforted them, but I was already was beyond my comfort zone. I sat across from Lily, keeping the silence, but still being as friendly as I could.
                          
'Take a deep breath Kenz,' Lexus instructed me and I did as I was told.
                          
'What if they don't like us? Can they banish us? No other pack would take us. We're lucky to still be here considering our lineage,' I ranted back to her, beginning to freak out even more. Lexus instructed me to take another calming breath.
                          
'Mate wouldn't let that happen,' She smiled, 'Mate loves us.'
                          
How do you know? I asked her. I never got an answer, just a smile in the back of my head. Anna rushed in with a smile on her face. God how does everyone smile all the time?
