Victoria's pov

"We're home," I bellowed as I stepped inside. I knew they were already here, since they drove off ahead of Luka and I.

Luka smiled at me mentioning here as 'home', and I noticed I didn't feel weird saying it either. This made him even calmer, but that wasn't my aim, so I sketched back the mean look on my face as I approached them in the living room.

They all immediately looked to Luka as if waiting for him to begin. Except, I calmed him down in the car so now he was all chill while everyone else was tense.

Curse my feelings for him.

I sat at the single chair across from everyone while Luka sat on the arm of the large couch. I kept my features serious and grave as I eyed each of them individually.

Time for business.

"You were Alpha?" I finally asked, getting straight to the point.

"I was" Was all he said as he peered at me as if I should automatically know everything. He had a tendency of doing that, and sometimes it was really annoying.

I gestured for him to continue, already fed up with his inability to explain something properly.

"I became unfit to lead after Ella's death, so I told dad to let Ty take my place" He sighed as he continued.

"Until you were better," Ty added, exaggerating the 'until'.

"Bro you have it all under control, you're doing great" Luka replied truthfully. I would've awed at the situation, but I was too distracted by the secrets that I was finally getting to know.

"Nah but it's your birth right. I wouldn't take that from you. I'll never be a leader like you" He answered sincerely.

As much as Luka was being a good brother, I could really see that he was relieved that Ty wasn't too attached to the title. After all, I'm sure being Alpha is not just about the title.

"What was he like as Alpha?" I asked, genuinely curious. I leaned forward as I got interested in the topic.

"Oh he was the best."

"He was a great leader."

"Nobody could've asked for a better Alpha."

"He banned me from getting parrots."

They all answered at the same time, that last one obviously coming from Caleb. This only piqued my interest even more in him. It seemed like he was a great Alpha.

From where I was, I could see his head swelling as he looked down awkwardly at his hands with a shy smile on his lips. It was the cutest thing ever.

"Why did he ban you from getting a parrot?" I asked Caleb with a laugh.

Luka's head immediately shot up, giving me a look as if saying 'really, that's what you chose to ask out of everything that was said?'.

Yes, I got all that from just one look.

"What? I wanna know" I shrugged.

"He was just being a big meany!" Caleb exclaimed as he stubbornly folded his arms around himself like a child.

"Dude how old are you?! Things happen, we get extra angry, then boom! The annoying ass bird in the cage gets snapped in half just because it was in someone's reach. It would have crushed you," Luka reasoned dramatically while I had a laughing fit. Caleb didn't say anything, he just sat there looking defeated and I could tell that they had this conversation plenty of times before.

"Okay okay s-sorry I asked" I stuttered as my laughter died down. "But I would like to see how you rule as Alpha" I added truthfully.

"You just have to stick around to find out then" He said nervously, and I wondered why he seemed worried all of a sudden again.

I then realized that it was time for the next part--the hard part.

"Why wouldn't I be around?" I was cautious. Maybe this was the part where they sentenced me to death.

"Remember when dad said Luka imprinted on you?" Ty asked slowly and I nodded. He looked to Luka to continue.

"Victoria, it's a wolf thing"

"What's a wolf thing?" I asked carefully.

"If a wolf loses his/her mate by death or rejection, they can have a second chance on mating" He tensed as the last word left his mouth, and that's when it started to make some sense. I suddenly remembered where I heard that word before.

"Oh my gosh is some Twilight shit!?" I stood up as I ran my hand through my hair dramatically, enjoying the reference of it all.

"No twilight had it all wrong" Emma stated nonchalantly, gaining my attention.

" I mean it's kinda the same thing as finding a mate though" Ashley added.

"I didn't know you guys watched Twilight" I simpered brightly, and I didn't even notice that we were drifting from the important topic. 

"Who doesn't watch Twilight?" Emma scoffed, at which they all seemed to agree.

"So how does it feel to see the wolves on TV knowing you're like that too?" I was a little too excited.

"The same way you feel when you see a human on TV," Ty answered, sounding unimpressed by my question.
