Arriving at the chief's house. The guests Ottar and Aisha are greeted outside by the chief and this family who was already standing outside the house before they exited the carriage.
Father is the first to welcome them.
" Sir Ottar and lady Aisha, welcome to our humble home." Father with a warm and greeting smile.
" So happy to have us chief Wayne," replied Ottar.
They both shake hand, and Aisha who father greeted himself to as well. Father then turn to his wife Lulu and son Luka. They both then introduce themselves to the two guests.
Looking behind them to see the other members of the black moon pack. Father have meant them before and known each other from the previous great hunt. They all joke at each other and laugh around for a bit for having someone as young as Ottar as their new alpha.
One of them brings up the case of chief Wayne decease son. Which was a bit of an emotional topic for the family.
Before Lora and Luka, the family had another son. He was the alpha of the sliver lotus pack at the time. After he died 20 years ago, father took back the position. Father past son, Alec was also the same age as Ottar when he was an alpha.
Aisha, who is Ottar's childhood friend, she is also a member for the black moon pack, joining the pack the same time Ottar was selected as the new alpha.
Aisha is the new " scholar " for the black moon pack. A " pack scholar " is a member of a wolf pack who isn't specialize in combat but more so knowledge and information.
Every wolf has a "class job" that they specializes in. There are 3 in total.

Scholar class : Wolves that focus on knowledge
Aisha is a scholar and her main job is to provide information about certain creatures and other things inside the forbidden zone to prevent danger that can harm or even lead to the death of the whole pack.
Finally entering the house, Aisha curious about the topic she and Ottar were talking about on the carriage.
" Sir Wayne, not to sound rude or anything but I heard that you have adopted a human who is living here, am I right?"
Aisha has a cheeky look on her face. Luka looking at Aisha curiosity ponders on what she is going to say about his sister.
Father after a brief pause finally replied.
" Oh yes, you must be talking about my daughter. She is staying over at a friend's house right now."
With a condoscending look, Aisha said.
" Never actually thought that a human could have friends among the wolves in the village."
Luka already know where she is taking the conversation so he quickly steps up to defend his sister.
" Lora isn't like the other humans that everyone talks about from the war. My sister is a kind and compassinate person!"
" Woah easy there," Ottar placing his hand on the boy's head.
" She didn't mean it like that, we are not trying to say bad things about you sister, right Aisha," looking over at his childhood friend.
