"My name is Sarah, there is not much else I go by." she told him, giving him a slow once over now that he was in his human form. She licked her bottom lip as she did so, not realizing it as she turned away from him to start walking down the path. He was far better looking than she had expected, even with the nasty mark upon his neck. She just thought it made him all that more appealing. She led him along down the winding paths, fully aware of her light footed brother Lucas following several paces behind. Anyone in their pack who was outside along their path, stopped to stare at the new arrival, some wondering what his story was, others only upon why he had been marked, as well as other things not fit for civilized conversation. It was not a long walk to where her Mother and Alpha's office was. Not more than a few minutes and they were in the middle of their little village before a simple one room cabin that was also easily the oldest building.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry, but I'm not permitted inside."<br/><br/>"Which has never stopped you, or any of us before." Maxwell interrupted as he rounded the east side of the cabin, with a ripped shirt and barefoot, walking directly towards them. "I'm still Mom's Beta, and next inline to be Alpha. If you walk in with me, you know she won't say anything. Father is already inside." he said, motioning them to follow him towards the step up to the door. "Besides, you're the one who's mainly treated him. You are the one who vouched for his life. You should be inside." he said, looking down at her as his hand rested on the door handle. "Lucas!" he hollered before pulling open the door and heading inside first.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry. It seems you get to tell your story before the whole family." Sarah told him after heaving a sigh. She placed a hand on his chest and gave a gentle pat before heading in through the open door, her hand trailing to his arm and down to his wrist before she let go and fully stepped in to find a place to stand.<br/><br/>Lucas came jogging up to the step to stand there, waiting on this new shifter to go in ahead of him. He would be standing against the door as last to enter. Inside their father healer was standing beside a small fire in the fireplace, a mood lighting effect they favoured. Their mother was seated behind a large oak desk, Max standing off to the side behind her on her left. Sarah found a spot opposite her father, leaning on the wall between two windows that had curtains drawn shut. An imposing circle ready to take down an intruder, that was how it would look. But she was prepared to jump in again and defend him if she needed too. Something in her was telling her that she had too.
