"It's nice to meet you Renee." He shook her hand. "I'm Alpha Elijah. These are my Betas. Cliff and Joel. This here is Joel's girlfriend Tamara, our friend Rebekah, and..."
He scratched the back of his neck. Way to play it cool. I rolled my eyes. "This is my girlfriend, Katerina." He said, and I took the opportunity to pop my head out of his arm a bit and half-smiled at her.
She was about speaking, her jaw opened slightly, not understanding. And then she ripped me away from Elijah and pulled me into a hug, crying. My eyes rimmed with tears too. Oh, Ren.
"I missed you so much. I.. we..all thought you were dead. Why did you write me that letter?" She sobbed and smacked my arm hard. I looked at her and her sad eyes. "Are you okay?" She asked me. I nodded, smiling slightly and she pulled me into her arms again. "I'm fine Renee, really. I'm happy." I told her and Elijah pulled me back into his arms, kissing my hair.
