Present:

An eighteen year old ran through the pack house searching for his best friend, after having asked around outside.

He was in so much hurry that he didn't even notice everyone bowing their heads in respect for their future Alpha.

Pack members were shocked as usually he would deny and tell them that there was no need to bow as he was a lot younger than them, but today he didn't acknowledge anybody. Or so they thought.

"Don't think you all won just because you were saved from the lecture today," he yelled, turning his head a little to look at his pack members, before taking off running again.

A sweet smile crept on everyone's faces, hearing his playful scolding. Their wolves respected their future Alpha and would always bow at the sight of him even though their human minds knew that they should stop doing it as the future Alpha didn't like it.

Knowing that she wasn't in her room or any other top floors restricted for other pack members, Vivaan now started looking for her on the first floor.

The pack house was designed in such a way that the ground floor and first floor were used by all pack members. Living room, kitchen, dining area and gaming rooms were on the ground floor while the first floor had multiple guest rooms.

Second floor was for Gamma family  while Third floor was designed for Beta Family.

The whole Fourth floor was meant for work. Alpha's office, Beta's and Gamma's office and a huge library with books of pack history and other important books of Werewolf laws were situated on this floor.

Beta's and Gamma's family were allowed to roam around till the fourth floor.

The fifth floor was the toppest of this pack house and was fully taken by Alpha's family. No one other than them and their selected help was allowed to come up.

Even though it was a hassle as the first floor had so many rooms, Vivaan still knocked on every room to search for his best friend.

After going through many rooms and facing many awkward and compromising situations, he knocked at another room.

"Hey Rahul, have you seen Yara?" Vivaan asked upon entering the room but stopped short upon seeing the scene.

"You guys are lucky that all rooms are sound proof now," Vivaan commented upon seeing that Yara had Rahul in a headlock.

Yara left Rahul upon seeing Vivaan, but not before giving him a swift kick.

Vivaan was chuckling inside but portrayed a stern look.

"Yara, I was trying to mind link you. Why weren't you answering?" Vivaan questioned with furrowed eyebrows.

"Oooo, looks like Yara was so engrossed in me that she didn't realize that our future Alpha was trying to contact her," Rahul teased.

The frown on Yara's face deepened as her temper was on the verge of bursting.

"Shut up, jerk face or I will break you," she threatened with clenched teeth, showing her fist.

"Stop it now, you two. What has this idiot done now? Why are you so agitated, Yara?" Vivaan asked, coming to stand between the two to avoid any more fights.

"Why am I an idiot? It's your best friend, who's being delusional. She thinks that she is going to become a future beta," Rahul snorted.

"Why not?" Vivaan questioned with genuine curiosity.

"Come on, she is a girl. Has there been any female beta till this date? She is lucky that she lives in this pack. Our pack is modern, if any other pack saw a she-wolf disrespecting a male then she would have been punished brutally. She wolves are meant to follow male wolves and agree to whatever we say," Rahul boasted, looking like he won the agreement.

"Then you should live in those traditional packs because this pack values equality. There's no place for sexist wolves like you," Yara countered, looking at him with fierceness.

"She is right, and about the beta thing. It's you who is delusional and not Yara. The only conditions for my Beta is that either the person should be first born of the current Beta or the person whom I trust with my life and Yara is both," Vivaan spoke, shutting down any arguments that were bubbling inside Rahul and simultaneously making Yara smile.

"Let's go, Alpha is looking for us," Vivaan ushered Yara, by holding her elbow.

"By the way, why do you call him Alpha? He is our Alpha but shouldn't you call him Dad?" Rahul yelled the question as the other two had just stepped out of his room.

Vivaan turned to look at him with raised eyebrows.

"I know, I have asked this question several times but shouldn't you answer it at least once?" Rahul asked but this time, a little timidly.

"Mind your own business," Vivaan answered for the umpteenth time and closed the door with a bang, showing off his irritation.
