Senior year is starting in a few weeks and Noah was returning home after being sent away for the summer by his Alpha parents. He left town with his 2 best friends. They left before Noah's 18th birthday at the end of their Junior year. He was happy to be coming home and having a birthday party that he missed throwing. He was 18 yrs old after all, old enough to shift, meet his wolf, take over the pack and hopefully meet his mate. Being gone all summer he missed out on a lot of things, but his parents sent him and his friends away for training.

It took him over an hour from the airport for them to pull up to the pack house. He gets out of the car his parents left for him there to drive home. He looks at the house and smiles happy to be home. His baby sister comes running out of the house and right towards him jumping into his arms. Noah wrapped her up in a hug. "OMG I can't believe your home" She says in a high squeal. Noah chuckled "Ears, man, I dont think they heard you in the neighboring pack" he says and puts her down.

Anna Valentine got ready for the day. She was currently training to be a beta in case she got chosen. That was her label 'potential female beta'. She sighed and shook her head as she thought about that. Anyway, she got word that the future male alpha had finally returned home. She was sent to meet up with him and make sure he was given a warm welcome back, a warm greeting if you will. She finished getting ready and left to do so...

Noah looked back at the guys for help and they just watched laughing and shrugging their shoulders. he looked back at his sister "hey hey slow down" he says to her and picks her up and slings her over his shoulder. She laughed and squealed "put me down!!" she yelled at him "MOM!" she yelled and Noah threw her on the couch.

His mom pokes her head out of the pack kitchen. she usually had herself put together but right now she had flour on her face and apron around er waist. She was holding a spatula and a cookie sheet. Noah spotted her and her eye got widen in excitment. She quickly put down the things and went over to hug her boy and kissed his cheeks. "mom mom alright enough" he says "IM so happy to have you home, your dad is in his office if you want to go see him" she says
Noah walks over and steals 3 cookies and shoves one in his mouth quickly.

"hey, stay out of those. they are for the party" she says. Noah looks at her "what party mom?" he asked " Your boys welcome home party, Their moms are out back setting up. The whole pack is invited" she says

Kya realsse the foxes into the forest as they are healed from their injuries. Roxanne is watching her sister as they both look in the direction of a loud voice. She made sure her sister enters the house before checking out what is going on.

His mom was working with the pack cooks to get food ready. His 2 friends came into the house with all their bags. "WElcome home party guys" he says to them as he looks over his shoulder.

Cassie got up from the couch to help with the bags and swiping a cooking from Noah's hands

"hey where is Ren?" he asked noticing his brother is not around.

"i have him helping outside to set up" she tells him

Anna had been sent ahead early. Her mother did not just want her to help set up for the party, but to get to know and get close to the future alpha and his family. It was as her mother had said: "You never know." Of course, her mother had winked at her after that. She sighed and tried not to think about that. Anyway, she hurried to the house in question.

Cassie finished taking Noah's bag up to his room and runs downstairs and Jumps on Noah's back. "what the.." he says stumbling a bit. she warps her arms and legs around him "Get moving" she tells him pointing outside Noah laughs "as you wish monkey" He tells her and walks outside with her on his back giving a piggy back ride. "So cassie, fill me in on what i missed over the summer" he asked her as he carried around the back watching people set up.

"oh, lets see, Kya and Anna have been helping around here" she says. He was trying to place faces with those names "oh yeah?" he says. He looked around and noticed a few girls around watching him, then his friends joined them outside and came up to him, Adam and Ben came up to them outside.

"Hey midget, you ever gonna grow" Adam said to Cassie. she rolls her eyes at him and gets off her brothers back "well not ever one can be over 6ft tall" she says. She stood about 5'6" she was a sophomore in high school where Ren is a Junior this year. Noah looked at Adam and shot him a look and he Adam held his hands up in surrender. then looked around for Ren still not able to find him.

Ren helped for a bit with the setting up but went for a walk before the party would officially start in the woods. He couldn't wait until his 18th party so he could shift. He had a year to wait though.

Roxanne is sitting in a tree watching people set up for the party for the new Alpha. She is hiding her scent as she smell like a fox, maybe she will crash the party.

Ren picked up a stick as he walked and swiped it at a sapling growing as he walked lost in his thoughts. He found a tree and went and sat underneath it and let out a sigh.

Ben tapped Adam and Noah and pointed to a few girls "looks like school wont be soo boring this year" he says. when the girls noticed them looking they looked away quickly and giggled whispering to themselves. Noah nods "so it seems" he says and Cassie makes a face "sick guys just sick" she says and walks away "ah Midget, dont be mad" adam tells her teasingly.

Anna would arrive quickly enough. It took her a while to get there since she did not wish to rely heavily on shifting and everything. Anyway, she approached the house. She glanced around.

Ben scanned the crowd that was there and noticed a new face. He looked at Adam and motioned to Anna. He smiled "she's pretty" Ben said "No kidding" Adam says. they looked at Noah who already had a few girls coming over his way and they left him to fend for himself. Noah didn't mind the attention its something he has been dealing with since he was the alphas son. He leaned against a pole on the tent and was talking to the two girls that came over to him.

Anna glanced around the party. She went to greet Noah, upon spotting him, and welcome him back home. But, she noticed the girls that had gathered around him. She sighed and frowned.

Ben and Adam noticed the girl walking over to Noah but stopped when she noticed he was already busy. Ben and adam raised a brow and walked over to Anna both smiling. Ben moved infront of Adam and greeted Anna. "hey" he says to Anna.

“So, the party got boring before it got started,” Roxanne ask Ren as she looks down from her perch in the tree above REN? She is on edge as a wolf she does not know this guy being close to the fox house.

@underworldqueen
Anna blinked. She glanced at Ben.
"um....hi."
She was not sure what else to say. She tried not to sigh or anything.

Ren was startled and looked up at the voice " wha..what" he said "yeah they are still setting up" he says as he gets up "who are you?" he asked the girl.

"Im Ben, we though we knew everyone here" he says to her "who are you?" he asked her

Adam rolled his eyes at the lack of game his friend has. he comes up and puts a arm on Ben's shoulder and looks at Anna. he holds his hand out for Anna to shake "Im adam" he says to her
