"No, I won't be. I don't know anyone here except for the rogues and I don't know them well enough to introduce them to you."
"Don't worry, I'll be with you." I assured her with a smile as we both turned to look at Alpha Clause.
"Exactly, and my Fay always keeps her word." Alpha Clause confirmed for me.
I smirked, "You're right, and I hope that you will enjoy meeting the other pack members."
"Thank you, Luna and Alpha!" They said to me in unison.
"We will try our best to get along with the other pack members." Aiden added as he smiled at us, and the others nodded in agreement.
"I know you will." Alpha Clause assured them as he patted him again on the shoulder. "Now, you should get some rest. There will be plenty of time for introductions tomorrow."
"Yes, thank you, Luna." The rogues told me as they bowed their heads to me.
"Goodnight, everyone!" Alpha Clause called out to them as we made our way out of the den.
"Goodnight, I'll see you in the morning!" I added as I walked beside Alpha Clause.
We made our way out of the den and towards the living room where most pack members were including Beta Bailey, Rachel, Carter, Tyler, and the twins; Riley and Ron. The twins stood up and ran over towards us as soon as they saw us walk in.
Riley and Ron tugged at my dress with their little hands as Riley yelled, "Luna! Luna! We missed you!"
"Yeah, where did you go, Luna?!" Ron exclaimed as he pouted.
I chuckled as I bent down to hug them both, "I went to visit the North pack to see my friend, Luna Kasey and Luna Ashley."
"Why didn't you take us with you, Luna?!" Riley asked as she also pouted, wrapping her small arms around me as she looked up at me, making Alpha Clause and I laugh at her cuteness.
"Sorry, I didn't even think that you would want to come, but I'll take you with me next time." I replied to them both as I patted their heads, making them step back from me and grin excitedly.
"Okay! Next time!" Ronnie exclaimed happily.
"I'm glad that you guys are happy to see me." I told them as I hugged them tightly again.
"Of course we are. We love you!" Riley exclaimed happily.
I laughed, "I love you too, you guys."
"Come on, let's go sit down, Luna." Alpha Clause suggested as we sat down on the couch together and took a seat.
"Where's Olivia?" Riley asked as she looked around the room anxiously.
"She's still asleep, she isn't feeling well tonight." Alpha Clause informed them as he rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Who is Olivia?" I asked him, feeling both jealous and confused.
Alpha Clause turned to me as he answered me with a surprised look on his face, "Oh, that's just my childhood friend that came over to the pack house while you were at Alpha Nathan's pack. She's so nice and you'll love her!"
I raised an eyebrow at him, "Really, honey?
"Yes, of course, baby! Just wait until you meet her!" He insisted, causing me to roll my eyes at him.
"Fine, I hope so since she's your friend and said so." I sighed heavily as I smiled at him.
"Thanks for trusting me, my one." He murmured as he pushed some stray hairs behind my ear and brushed his fingers through my silky dark hair. I shivered slightly at his touch and closed my eyes as I relaxed against him. I felt him pick me up and sat down with me on one of the couches as sleep started washing over me from how tired I was today as the other pack members talked amongst themselves in the living room.
"Of course, I trust you, Clause, I just hope that you trust me too, honey." I whispered to him as I snuggled closer to him, breathing in his scent.
"Of course, I trust you too, baby." He replied as he kissed my forehead lightly before opening my eyelids.
"Night, Clause." I yawned.
He laughed, "Sleep tight, my Luna."
I giggled sleepily, "Night, Clause."

I woke up the next morning with a loud yawn as I stretched my muscles. My eyes slowly opened up as I sat up and looked around the room. Carter, Tyler, and Beta Bailey were still sleeping as they huddled in a group together. I noticed that Alpha Clause was watching me closely as he stared at me with wide open eyes. I smiled softly at her before walking out of the living room.
I walked outside and saw that the sun was starting to rise as I looked up at the sky and sighed. A presence pulled my attention to the side to see Alpha Clause standing there as he wrapped his arm over my shoulders, his lips tugging up into a smile.
I couldn't help, but smile back as I replied to him, "Guess sleeping off in the living room has become a habit for me and the other pack members."
He chuckled in his husky, yet velvety deep voice, sending delightful shivers through my body as he nodded, "It has, hasn't it?"
I nodded in reply to him as I leaned against him, feeling safe and protected by him.
"So, what are you going to do with the rogues today?" I asked him curiously.
"I was thinking that we could start training them as soon as possible. I have been wanting to train them ever since I found them." He told me as he placed a soft kiss on my cheek, making me giggle.
"Well, I guess that's good." I told him, smiling at him.
"Yes, it is." He agreed with a satisfied smirk before he walked away and began walking towards the den.
However, we were forced to stop because of a shrill voice behind us, "Clause! Where are you going so early in the morning?!"
