"Cold white walls,
Keep you from your pad and pen,
When you just wanna stab again.
I can't believe it's half this hard,
You never knew your mind was dark."

When they had finally come to terms with the fact that the girl joined and they put on some clothes, they had both gathered in what they called their dining room and kitchen. The alpha sat next to her and somehow the vampire had forced his way into the room with them.
"So I want you to go get to know the pack as soon as possible. Because what was the most important for a pack to be strong?" Kai questioned. He had taken a shower and now sported a black shirt with a pair of khaki shorts he stayed barefoot saying that 'shoes are too constricting.'
She furrowed her eyebrows at him before answering,"that a pack is stronger when it is together. Strength in numbers." Kira leaned back and smirked. "Ok. I see what you're getting at."
She herself wore the witches clothing, which in her opinion was too dark for her liking. She wore a grey striped sweater with long black leather pants she stayed barefoot too for some reason. But the witches bra size was different from hers, thankfully the mermaids size was just hers.
"Do you?" The Asian guy tapped at his cheek and leaned back in his seat. The vampire sat on the table facing the Alpha with his feet sat on the space between Kai's thighs. "Very well then, I'd like you to start to get to know them. Effective immediately. You should go fetch some firewood with Jinx."
"What? Now? Who is Jinx?" She questioned quickly. She sat forward frowning.
"He said to go get some firewood. Yes now. And Jinx is the witch. Take a hint." Sniggered the vampire, he fished out a cigarette and a lighter before lighting the stick.
"Grey why do you even smoke? That stuff doesn't work on your kind." Kai mumbled leaning forward.
Greyson was his name. She remembered. What a odd name for a vampire. But I have an odd human name too.
"So? I just like the taste of it." He grinned inhaling the chemicals into his lungs and blowing it into the Alpha's face. Kai took his wrist of the hand that held the cigarette and brought it near his face before placing his lips on the cigarette and talking a puff of it. He then repeated the same actions and blowing the puffs of smoke into the vampire's face.
"Well if you two are done flirting with one another then I guess I can take the werewolf and go get some firewood." The Witch suddenly burst into the room and headed for the fridge.
"Jinx this conversation was confidential. You and everyone else weren't supposed to be listening in." The alpha scolded in a stern but weary voice.
"Confidential my ass. If it really was then Greyson wouldn't be allowed in here. Now come on Kira. Try any bullshit and I'll slit your throat." She grumbled gulping down some water then wiping away the water that dribbled down her chin with the back of her hand. "And you two, try not to screw each other on the table like a bunch of horny rabbits while I'm gone. I don't want Aquata or Nixie to have to be traumatized." She hissed before strutting out. Her heavy boots thumped and her chains, charms and buckles jingled as she walked further away.
"Go ahead, princess. She doesn't bite. Only Hunter does that." Greyson teased in a harsh manner. His heavy accent flowing through the room followed by a laugh.
"Grey." Kai warned narrowing his eyes slightly at him. Greyson raised his hands in mock defense then shrugged his shoulders and dropped them.
"Why can't I have some fun with her. You already had your fun." He pouted, feigning sadness. He then smirked and then slipped off of the table and onto the other mans lap straddling him. "Or maybe I can have some fun with you."
"Kira we ain't got all day. And get out of there before you regret your life and the decision of joining this pack." Jinx yelled from the other room.
Kira found herself hurrying out of the kitchen and following Jinx out the door.
For a while the air remained tense and quiet. No one made a sound or moved too quickly. They had gathered a bit of fire wood but Jinx had told her that they needed some more at least for the rest of the week.
"So..." Kira started. She had gotten tired of the silence and decided to speak up. "Tell me about yourself."
"What do you wanna know?" The witch asked, her focus remained ahead while that of Kira remained on the witch, taking in her every action, exited about the fact that she got to answer questions.
She was quite surprised really. She expected the witch to tell her to shut up or at least not to bother her but she opened herself up for questioning.
"How old are you?" Was the first thing she blurted out. Jinx chuckled and shook her head, then rolled it to the side and flashed an amused look. The scary grin never leaving her face as did the glint in her eyes.
"How old do you think I am?" Was her reply.
"Well... I'd say no older than 20. But my father is like 60 and he looks 20 so..." She trailed off.
"Kid, I'm older than our entire pack combined." She explained. "Was born a really long time ago. Potions and natural herbs help you stay young. But do not be misled. I am not like Greyson, I'm not gonna look like this forever, I will age but rather slowly. Well, slower than your kind at least."
"Oh. Well... What was your reason to join this pack?" Kira questioned. Her head was tilted to the side, listening to every word that came out of Jinx's mouth.
"Well I killed an entire village and was exiled. Then I found Kai." She replied with a slight giggle.
"Really?"
"No."
"Oh."
"Well my name is Jinx. All I did was bring bad luck to my coven... Or so I was told. So I was well... Sent away. I was only a little girl. 21. And they left me all alone. Me older brother would come looking for me every now and then but to no avail. I was a rather thing witch.. Still am. But the village thing was actually true... And it was an accident. After wandering about for centuries at a time I found an alpha werewolf. His name was Kai." She smiled remembering past memories.
"At first I wanted nothing to do with him. At that time he was 16 and I was 29. He was nothing more than a bratty child to me. But then I realized how alone he was. And how alone I was. How sad I was." She laughed bitterly. "Kai showed me more care and affection than my whole coven, my big brother excluded. I practically raised him. I realized how much a powerful creature he was. At first my intentions were to use it to my benefit. But as time passed on I grew to love the little brat. He's like a son to me. I don't know if I'd be alive now without him. Son of a bitch has saved me countless times."
"That's nice. I can't imagine being alone for such a long time. I've barely been away from my family for a month and I miss them dearly." Kira confessed. She was caught off guard when the witch sling an arm around her shoulder.
"That's okay. It will sting for a while longer. But as time passes you'll find things to seal the wounds." She was such a wise person. Having learned from being alone all those times. From dealing with both good and bad people. And then finally finding a family. One that she had grown to love and loved her
She continued her story.
"Then after a while I found a weeping mermaid in a pond. Only a little girl. She was only 14 and she was abandoned by her pod. I gathered her up and took her home to Kai. There we raised her together until I found a little fairy. She was on the brink of death having been abandoned by her mate. I nursed her to health and brought her home too. If anyone knows what your going through its Nixie. You should go talk to her."
"I think I will." Kira hummed. She had found her talk with Jinx quite calming. Her wolf was content and felt good.
Maybe with this pack she can heal. Just maybe.
"I think this is enough fire wood. We should head back before my children break the house or do something just as bad." Jinx huffed. Their hand filled with firewood while they stumbled through the forest.
"Oh and Kira," she started, then she smiled gently, "welcome to the family."
