Chapter 65

Zenovia

The pack members all eyed me warily as I stood frozen in my tracks. Elijah put his hand on my back and gently nudged me forward

“They are not going to bite you. Go ahead”

I gave him a nervous smile as he cleared his throat.

“She is Zenovia Archer, now a member of our pack. Please welcome her”

He said, and a tense silence followed suit. The pack members kept looking at each other and nobody said a word.

The feeling that this had been a bad idea kept intensifying, and I debated walking back out of the gate.

I hesitantly raised one of my hand and waved at them all. Still, there was no reaction

I looked worriedly at Elijah, who murmured.

“Oh, I should have told you this before. Callahan never took in a new member in the pack under any circumstances. That

was his rule.”

My eyes grew wide as saucers as I looked at him and said through gritted teeth.

“Then you should have told me that before bringing me here”

Elijah shrugged. “Well, I didn’t think you would last even a day. He never took anyone, so I believed he would drive you off in hours the first day you were brought in”

I made a face. “Thanks for the motivation”

Elijah scratched the back of his head as I whispered, “Why does lie never take anybody in?”

But before Elijah could answer, an elderly woman stepped forward. She was wearing a pale grey dress and had wrinkles on

her face.

Her hair was tied behind in a messy bun and there were a few necklaces and bracelets upon her person.

The elderly woman stepped forward, a stick in her hand that she used to slowly walk forward. I gulped nervously as she kept coming closer.

I wanted to step back, but Elijah muttered low in his breath to keep still.
