Sheila’s elder brother, Arnold Warner, was the most possessive of his kid sister. He never stopped talking about her, even when his father grew furious every time Sheila’s name was mentioned.
Just like his father, he had very good looks to compliment his strength, energy
and vitality.
He was the acting Alpha of the Moon Shine pack. With his father being the Alpha King, he supervised the internal affairs of the pack among the remaining six brothers. Every day, he hoped that his kid sister would return, and that day arrived, though later.
Even now, his way of lifting Sheila out of the car caused her to feel like a kangaroo, Arnold was very hunky, strong, and aloof, but being with Sheila, everyb*dy saw him smiling and carefree. Even his mate, Quinn, was surprised to see him like that.
Used to being doted on by her seven brothers, Sheila would have been extremely excited if her father had equally accepted her. Though it was expected, her longingness made her anxious.
“Why did you change your hair color?” Arnold noticed and asked her. One could not tell by his facial expressions whether or not he liked her new look.
Everything that happened in the Dark Moon pack was now in her past. This was her future. As she thought over her words, she realized that her father’s position would not allow her to avoid Alpha Nick as she wished.
The pack businesses would surely bring them together and he would soon find out. However, they were already divorced by somehow, Sheila did not want her parents or brothers to know that she had been in a one–sided love affair and even gotten married by contract and divorced.
“Let me down,” Sheila cried from embarrassment as the pack members had gathered around. Her cheeks were so red as if set on fire. Most of them giggled as they saw the siblings squabble.
“You left us for years. So, I will only hold you like this,” Arnold pressed her closer to his hard chest as she struggled to free herself from his manly embrace. Luckily, someb*dy came to her aid, though it didn’t make much difference.
“You scoundrel, let her down. We should get the chance to hug her too,” her third brother, Dara, who was in charge of the pack finances, came forth as they tried to wrestle for whom to hug Sheila.

She was just glad for her feet to finally touch the ground in the midst of the chaos. It was embarrassing for her to be carried like a baby by her elder brothers like that.
From a distance, someb*dy was running towards them at top speed. It was their seventh brother, Boaz. He was in charge of the educational matters of the pack.
At the Dark Moon Pack, Sheila had handled all these department together since Alpha Nick only had a beta who was busy searching for the Alpha’s promiscuous mate. Beta Dustin would only go for training, leaving the remaining matters to Sheila.
“Sherry. It’s true. You are back.”
Excitement shone in his eyes, permeated through his voice as he crashed into Sheila. Arnold and Dara were still hugging her when Boaz joined in the group hug.
Sheila realized just how much her family missed her, regretting all her time wasted at the Dark Moon Pack. However, remembering those who benefited from her training, it felt worthwhile.
Also, her years spent studying in New York City could not be termed as a waste.
Atlas and Jace, her second and sixth brothers, Atlas, being Arnold’s beta and Jace being in charge of the pack protocols, came out of the pack house due to all the noise. Information had not yet reached them that Sheila had returned as everyb*dy was engrossed in trying to hug her.
“I thought my ears were deceiving me when I heard Sheridan’s name. Sherry, did you come to visit?” Atlas asked. It was funny how her brothers, who always seemed cold, were all exuding the excitement of little children, all because their kid sister had returned.
“You should stop behaving like kids,” Sheila’s mother, Josephine, appeared at the entrance of the pack house with their father, Alpha King Gandolf Warner, by her side.
The pack members around bowed respectfully at the appearance of the Alpha King. His position was lifelong, so Arnold’s authority was only limited to the Moon Shine pack. Concerning the neighboring packs and those far and near, it was Gandolf in charge and well respected by all Alphas.
He had a scowl on his face, but before he could say anything, Henry and Iggy, the fourth and fifth brothers, in charge of conflict resolution and training of pack members, ran from behind him to hug their kid sister.
Sheila was overwhelmed with excitement but could not forget her father’s burning gaze. Pulling away from all

the hugs and k*sses, she sauntered towards her father but was caught in a tight embrace by her mother.
Sheila could not help shedding tears of joy. Looking at her father with tear–filled eyes, she recited the words she had been carefully practicing ever since her planned return.
“Papa, I’m very sorry. I promise to obey you this time.”
These were the exact words the Alpha King was waiting to hear. “Are you saying that you are ready to stay and help manage the pack?” His gaze was serious. Everyb*dy was interested in this part since like her father, they all wanted her to stay.
At this moment, Goldie had joined her family. Sheila didn’t need her the moment they arrived at their home pack.
Goldie had heard from Sheila that she was not going to return to Alpha Nick, but with her parents and some of the pack members gathered around, her interest was piqued at Sheila’s response.
“Yes, Papa. I’m not leaving anymore.”
The elderly man’s hands stretched out as he pulled her into his warm embrace. Sheila’s joyful tears wet his clothes, and the embrace lasted for quite long.
When he pulled away, he announced, “my daughter was gone, but now she is back. We shall be having a party for her in seven days.”
Now that she was no longer leaving, the elderly man could no longer hide his excitement as he made the declaration. All his sons had settled into heading different departments of businesses at the pack and were all happily mated.
Now he was concerned for his last child and only daughter. On the other hand, Sheila froze instantly due to the gala awards in a few days. She couldn’t miss it for anything and already made a vow to not leave the pack.
Thinking of how to take a day off to attend the gala awards, another announcement caused the color to drain from her face. “Send the invitations across. She might as well find a suitor.”
