Chapter 45 Violet

• We sit in the dining hall, the four of us together to have dinner. Hattie is telling me her parents are watching Devin for her. He is still not quite right, which makes me think she should not have come here to be with me today, but she was adamant that she was going to be here with me. And I have to admit, I am glad she was there in the end. She seems to put the room at ease with her jokes and her smile. And I have to say I enjoy her company. The four of us sitting here together, chatting away is quite enjoyable. And as Tate had told me, the food from here is actually quite tasty.
• Many pack members come up to our table to chat to the Alpha and Luna, or to Tate too, some even to say hello to me, which is quite a weird feeling, but I do the polite thing and say hello, and make conversation with them . They all seem genuinely happy to have me here, which is not really what I was expecting. Perhaps I had rushed into the judgement that I would not be welcome, or had automatically thought the worst. And once again, had been proven wrong.
• Tate sitting proudly by my side the whole time, smiling at me, the occasional squeeeze of my hand to offer me reassurance. I find the dining hall so hectic and busy, this is the majority of the pack according to Lachlan, so I am finding it hard to believe this is the whole pack, the group of people I will be expected to live with, now it looks like I am staying here.
