Chapter 2: Hello California!
"This is your captain speaking. Please fasten your seatbelts as we prepare for landing," the captain spoke over the mic as it resonated through the plane.
I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes as I pulled up the blind to see out the window. The city looked so beautiful from the sky. I picked up my iPad and snapped a pic of Cali and made it my wall paper. I scanned our plane and noticed that everyone was getting their stuff together well almost everyone. My little sister was still in dreamland.
If you are wondering who this little girl is, well she is my 7 year old little sister Lila. She has long blonde hair and hazel eyes, she got the hair colour from mom and eyes from dad. She was in a floral dress paired with a pink bandeau and ballet flats. She looked so cute sleeping. She is bubbly and will have you smiling when you're around her.
I put my gadgets away as the plane made contact with the ground. It took a few minutes before the plane stopped and the door was open. I unbuckled my seat belt and got up and stretched. As we were exiting our attention was turned to Lila who stood at the bottom of the stairs.
"I'm hungry can we go get something to eat," she say in a voice that caused everyone to laugh.
"Sure honey, how is pizza working for you?" mom asked her. When Lila replied with a huge smile mom turned to us, "Well?" she asked.
"Yeah," we all say in agreement. Just as it was confirmed two cars and a moving truck drove up to us. We gathered into the car Dalia and I in one and mom, dad and Lila in the other. We didn't wait on the truck to be loaded as we made our way to the restaurant.

30 minutes later
We arrived at 'Lucas Pizzeria'. We entered the restaurant and took a table in the corner of the room. It was not long until a girl in some blue jeans and black polo shirt and sneakers came over to us. I am guessing she is our waitress.
"Hello my name is Krystal and I will be your waitress on this fine evening. May I take your order?" she says looking at her note pad.
"We would like two medium pizza one with peperoni and one with chicken and pineapple" my dad orders.
"And what can I get you guys to drink?" she says as she still has her head down writing.
"Um...... 3 iced-tea, 1 bottle water and a sprite" mom finishes the order and finally the girl raises her head. Her eyes widen when she saw us.
"Oh My God you are Katherine and Morgan Hylton I love your movies," she all but squeals. She looks like she in her early 20's probably 23.
"Yes we are... could you not let anyone know where here. We had a long day and we just need to relax," my mom pleaded to the waitress as she nodded her head in understanding. Before she left to get our food she took a pic with my parents and got their autographs.
20 minutes later
"Ok here is two medium pizza 1 with peperoni and 1 with chicken and pineapple, 3 iced-tea, 1 bottle water and a sprite," the waitress whose name is Mindy recites our order as she placed it on the table. She lift her head and smiled at us well more to my parents than us. "Enjoy," she utters and walks away.
40 minutes later
We were all heading for the cars while dad paid the bill. I was stuffed and tired all I wanted to do was crawl into my bed and sleep. For now I will just take a nap in the car until I reach home and fall asleep.
"Kate wake up, Kate wake up where at the house," Dalia says trying to wake me. I groaned mumbling a five more minutes to her. "Kate get up or I will soak you with my water," I groaned again but woke up because she was not joking. She soaked me before and she won't hesitate to do it again.
I peered out the window. The house was breath taking. It was another beach house but it looked better than the other one.
"Wow," was all I could say as I take in the new house. I heard that it was gorgeous but I didn't know it was this gorgeous. Dalia made a good choice when she picked out this house for us.
It was a two story white house. There were two huge columns located at the front of the house. The porch is beautiful. It is decorated with different types of exotic flowers. In the middle of the porch stood double doors to enter the house. There were windows located all over the house which you can't see the inside once you're outside.
As I continue to take in the house my eyes landed on a balcony on the second floor. It was placed at angle where you had a good view of the ocean. I knew that was the room I wanted. I stepped out of the car with Dalia leading the way towards the house.
When we entered the house I stopped and stare this house had a modern and edgy twist to it and I can simply say I love our new place. We had a game room, movie theatre, and gym, a man cave for dad and room just for ladies.
"Hey can I get the room with the balcony?" I asked my parents they gave me a knowing look.
"That room was meant for you. You and Dalia get the west wing upstairs and your sister, your mother and I get the east wing," dad explains, "Fair?" he asked. I nodded my head so fast I felt dizzy.
I grabbed hold of Dalia hand and hauled her up the stairs. "Slow down you live here no need to rush," I did not listen as I continued to pull.
I stopped when we finally made it to my room and to my surprise it was already decorated. It had this edgy-girly chic kinda theme. It was a really spacious room. There was a king size bed located in the centre of the room covered in fully black but the pillows were assorted in pink, black and white. In the far corner there was two leather single couch and a flat screen mounted on the wall. There was also a desk and chair in the far corner on the other side of the room. There was a window above my head with a window seat, the door to the balcony and a door leading to my bathroom.
"The room look great Dalia, you know me too well," I say beaming at Dalia.
"I am glad you like it. Since you're too tired I won't show you your closet," she says to me. I gave her my 'I am never too tired for my closet' look. "I will take it as a yes to view your closet so come on," she sound as excited as I am.
We went to the room directly across from mine. She turned on the lights and when I saw the inside I was speechless. They really out done themselves. The room look like any girl dream closet. Parts of the closet was remote controlled. It look like a little rectangle that can barely hold anything when you first walk in but then when you press a button it opened revealing a whole new dimension. I mean it was pink and black all over and the lighting made it look great.
"Damn Dalia I feel like I died and went to closet heaven," I say my voice filled with amusement. My comment made Dalia laugh.
"I got the best interior designers to get this room done. Am glad you love it now time to get ready for bed," I nod my head in response and followed Dalia out of the room.
I went back to my room and got a fresh pair of pj's and headed for the bathroom to freshen up. I took a refreshing shower got dressed brushed my teeth and went to bed.
Dalia's POV
Today has been a long day, I thought.
Tell me about it, all we need right now is our mate to comfort us, my wolf says.
I know he will be joining us Saturday don't worry, I reassure my wolf Kelly.
That is too long, I want him now, my wolf whines.
Am sorry you're gonna have to wait, with that I block my wolf out.
Well I don't have to explain anything since you guys already know that I am a werewolf. You must be wondering why I am living with the humans. Well first of all they are not all human, Athena is the heir to the throne for the werewolf kingdom. She is the golden wolf which is pretty rare.
She doesn't know werewolf exist nor that she is next for the throne and that I am her beta. I was sent here to look over her when I was 18 and we have developed a strong friendship she is my best friend and future queen. Now the million dollar question.
Why was she given up for adoption??? Simple she wasn't. The king and queen were traveling when the queen's water broke. They were far from their pack or any werewolf pack. They were in human parts of the land. They stopped at the hospital where they gave birth to Athena Ross.
She was mixed up at birth. When the queen requested her baby she noticed that when she touched the baby her mark did not show. Then she realised that it wasn't hers. She informed the doctor and the doctor realised her mistake. She explained that her baby must have been given up for adoption. The king and queen were not happy. They looked like they would have shifted in the hospital and kill everyone in there. Luckily for those humans they didn't.
They tracked down Athena's scent and found the family she was in. They were relieved when they saw that she was placed in a good family. The king and queen made sure that she was guarded at all times by pack members. These guards include Jeffery, Ryan, Jamie and myself. There are others but they keep a distance.
My hearts a stereo it beats for you so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note oh-oh
Make me your radio turn me up when you feel low
Stereo Hearts by Adam Levine plays as my cell phone ring I quickly pick it up and answered. "Hello?"
"Hello Dalia. Is my daughter settled in and comfortable?" my eyes widen as King Darious spoke on the other line.
"Yes King Darious, she loves the décor of both her room and closet. The team did well," I informed the king.
"Great glad she loves it. Remember she should be enrolled into Lycan High. The arrangements are already made for her and time is running out. She will shift on her 17 birthday April 20."
"Already talked to her family about her schooling and they agree with me," I informed him.
"Good now bye and keep her safe." With his last comment his line went dead.
I placed my phone on my bed and went to freshen up for bed. When I returned to my room there was a message on my phone. It was from Ryan.
My love. Hope your day went well. Love you. :* -Ryan
It would have gone better with you around. See you Saturday. Love you too. :* - Dalia
