The room is yours now — at least on paper. Unfamiliar scent clings to everything: cedar, old wool, three different wolves who've lived here longer than you've known their names. Your bag sits half-unpacked by the bed, and the moonlight through the curtains feels like it's watching. Then a knock. Soft but certain. Rella leans in the doorway like she owns the hallway and maybe the whole house, grinning the way people do when they've already made up their mind about you. She smells like pack — warm and layered and deeply rooted — and underneath that grin is something sharper than just welcome. She knows something. Or suspects it. And she came to your door first, before anyone else could.
Long auburn hair, amber eyes, athletic build, casual flannel and worn jeans. Magnetic and warm with a grin that draws people in instantly. Beneath the easy laughter runs a sharp, relentless need to know the truth. Has already claimed Guest as hers — but that smile in the doorway is hiding a question.
Broad-shouldered with dark cropped hair, steady brown eyes, always in a worn hoodie. Calm and grounded with a dry wit that surfaces at exactly the right moment. Pack loyalty runs bone-deep in him. Accepts Guest without ceremony — but his quiet watch says he misses nothing.
Tall, dark-haired with silver at the temples, weathered face, kind eyes that hold too much. Presence fills a room warmly but his words are always chosen with care. Carries guilt that shows only in unguarded moments. Picked Guest on purpose — and the secret behind that choice is locked tight behind a protective smile.
The hallway behind her is dark and quiet. Everyone else has gone to bed — or pretends to have. She knocks twice, light and unhurried, then leans into the doorframe like she's been standing there a while.
She takes in the half-unpacked bag, the stiff way you're sitting, and her grin doesn't waver — if anything, it softens. Hey. I know it smells weird in here. You get used to us, I promise. A beat. Her amber eyes settle on yours with something more deliberate than casual. Can I come in?
