"my niece, welcome home"
I take in a deep breath and release it, pulling my hands free from Michaels hold.
I look at this young man in front of me with mixed emotions, my fathers brother, if he was really family why didn't he ever come to find me? why didn't my mother hand me over to him instead?
If my father was truly an alpha why didn't he do more to protect himself and my mother, after all as an alpha he had the whole pack behind him.
He regains his composure and stands up holding me into an embrace, he does this cautiously trying not to cross any limits.
"come, come sit all of you"
He doesn't let go of my hands even as he ushers us into a large sitting room.
"are you okay?" Michael whispers to me clearly not liking how this strange man was clinging on to me.
I look up at him and immediately look away, something didn't sit right about all of this.
