Luna had offered the large group to stay, and she had added various rooms for them in case they decided to stay for more than one night. Bill made sure to owl his wife, who had then requested a portkey to the pack house because she hadn't had the time to visit the girls until now. Much to Fleur's relief, the wolves and vampires were not affected by her veela allure, and she was found in a deep conversation with Rosalie and Alice about fashion.

The next morning when Hermione work up, she was feeling a horrible aching in her body and had a mind-splitting headache. She found that her wolf was on edge the entire day and without realising it, she was seen standing outside the front door, looking out into the forest. Those who stayed at the pack house grew worried, especially when her eyes had remained amber ever since she woke that morning. Despite being more quiet and secluded, she conversed with everyone normally.

"Don't worry, the cub will be here soon" Luna spoke in her usual dreamy tone, though Hermione, or rather her wolf noticed that the blonde's eyes were glazed over. Normally, this would worry most people, however, being friends with the girl for many years had made her accustomed to such things and knew Luna was currently using her seer ability.

"How long?" Hermione asked as she continued to look out into the forest. She knew what Luna's words meant, there will be another wolf amongst them soon.

"Four hours. He will come and seek his Alphas. He will be scared and confused but you will provide everything he needs" With that, the seer skipped off back into the house. A few moments later, Sam walked up to her, wrapping his arms around his imprint's waist.

"Is what Luna says true?" He whispered in her ear, sending a pleasant chill down her body as she relaxed into his embrace, his scent engulfing her very senses.

"Yes. I can feel it" she was looking forward to the new addition to their pack but was worried about how the cub would take the news of being a shapeshifter. Sam looked over his shoulder and noticed the extended pack walking towards them, all looking curious and somewhat nervous.

"Pup?" Hermione turned towards Sirius, who was looking down at her with a small frown, though it vanished the moment she smiled up at him.

"We have a new addition to the pack arriving in four hours, the cub will be confused and scared but we will all make sure he is comfortable and welcomed. Isn't that right?" Everyone could hear the underlining threat in her words, which received confirmed nods from everyone. Ginny and Harry walked towards her, grabbing her hands in theirs but remaining quiet, all three looked out into the forest, feeling calm and ready for their new member.

As time went on, Hermione could feel her wolf become even more restless, meaning the shapeshifters were experiencing the same and they found the extended members of their pack were doing everything in their power to distract them. However, when the fourth hour hit, they all heard the distant howl that came from the forest. Hermione was already outside with Sam but was soon met by the rest of the extended Pack, thankfully the Cullens had left earlier that morning because their scent would most definitely cause the newly-turned wolf to become agitated.

They all watched with smiles on their faces as a smaller wolf with russet colour fur came running out of the trees, though he stopped abruptly when he noticed six wolves, along with a large black dog and a jaguar standing beside a group of humans outside a large home. He was hesitant at first, but Hermione and Ginny could both hear the conversation going back and forth between Seth clearwater and their pack.

She spoke through their mind link, making the russet wolf snap his head towards her. The pack watched in surprise as the wolf walked towards the group without a second thought, brushing himself against Hermione's leg before walking inside, followed by the rest of the pack in both wolf and human form.

"Come along, cub" She gestured for Seth to follow her into the family room, where a fire was already lit. She sat on the ground where Luna had placed a few blankets and the wolf immediately lay beside her, placing his head on her lap whilst he whined slightly. She began running her fingers through his fur, humming a tune which seemed to calm all those who were in their wolf forms.

"We need to figure out a way for them to shift back and forth without ripping their clothes, I'm afraid to buy Paul any because I know they'll end up in pieces" Ginny huffed softly, making sure to stay quiet whilst the wolves were sleeping. Luna, who had shifted back into herself, hummed in agreement before summoning a notepad and quill. They all watched curiously as she began to write rapidly, they also noticed that her eyes were once again glazed over and decided not to interrupt her line of thought.

"This will take a few hours, why don't you go and get some food shopping, We are running low on... Well, everything" She laughed quietly, making Harry, Remus and Ginny nod their heads before leaving. Sirius remained, laying on the couch with his arm draped over his face as he decided to take a nap in his human form instead.

She must have drifted off because she was suddenly jolted awake by Sam, who was standing in his human form along with the extended pack and a very much human Seth. She let out a groan and held her hand out, which allowed her mate to help her off the ground before she stretched, hearing a few satisfied cracks as she did so. Then, she turned to Seth who was looking down at the floor as he nervously nibbled on his bottom lip.

"Seth?" His head snapped up in an instant, meeting her glowing Amber eyes which were so different to the other wolves he had met.

"H-Hi" Hermione had to bite her lip to stop her from cooing, though it seemed Sam realised what she was going through due to his amused smile.

"Hello, cub. Do you know who I am?" She asked with a soft tone and smile. Seth nodded his head slightly and smiled, though he was filled with nerves and confusion.

"Y-You're the Alpha female and Sam is the Alpha" Both Sam and Hermione nodded their heads, though he found Hermione to be warmer and more inviting than Sam, who looked extremely intimidating. Hermione noticed the cautious looks he was giving Sam and chuckled under her breath, gaining their attention once again.

"Don't worry about Sam, my mate may look intimidating but he's a softy really" She teased, gaining a more relaxed smile from the boy whilst Sam looked at her with wide eyes.

"I am not!" and in unison, the extended pack laughed and responded that he is, resulting in him huffing with his arms crossed over his chest, a slight pout on his lips. Hermione giggled and stood on her tiptoes, placing a kiss on his lips which then turned his pout into a wide goofy smile. Seth watched the exchange with a warm smile, he could see the love they had for one another and he could quite literally feel it.

"Now, you must have questions but before we start on that, you must be hungry" as if his stomach could hear her, it growled loudly, earning amused chuckles from everyone before Sirius wrapped an arm around his shoulder, guiding him towards the dining room where a large range of different foods was placed.

"Who cooked?" Hermione asked cautiously, earning an eye roll from Sirius and Sam, knowing that they were not allowed in the kitchen after a complete disaster one evening.

"Charlie, Flur and Harry" Arthur chuckled, earning a relieved sigh from Hermione. They all took their seats and waited, Seth, looked around the table with a confused frown before watching in fascination as three large jugs of drinks quite literally floated into the room.

"W-What?" This was once again met with chuckles and a rub of the hair from Jared.

"I and Ginny are tribrids, we are part Vampire, part witch and part shapeshifter, though the shapeshifting part was formed by magic" This didn't seem to ease his confusion but decided not to comment and simply nod his head.

"Don't worry, you'll understand more when she explains" Luna reassured the boy, who smiled at the angelic-looking girl.

"Dig in" Hermione spoke out and everyone immediately began to pile food onto their plates. Seth noticed that the shapeshifters ate larger portions than the others, and he found his appetite had increased tenfold from what it was before.

It took around an hour before the table was completely clear of food, the conversation was light and welcoming to the new member of the pack and he found himself enjoying getting to know everyone at the table. He was surprised to find that Ginny and Paul were mates, along with Luna and a vampire called Edward Cullen.

It wasn't long before they all got themselves comfortable in the family room and his questions began to get answered. He found out that he would have to remain in the pack house until he got his shifting and anger in control because apparently, shapeshifters could quite literally snap at every little thing, resulting in a shift. This meant, that the youngest member of the pack, Teddy, would have to remain in England with his grandmother until it was safe, which made Seth feel guilty but was reassured by Remus, who was the child's dad, that he could go there whenever he wanted. That led them to the topic of the wizarding world, and he was left in awe but horrified at the fact that they all went through a war not too long ago.

"So, you can quite literally all do magic," Seth asked with awe-filled eyes.

"Yes, you saw the floating drink jugs right?" Fred questioned with a laugh, earning a slap across the head from his older brother, Charlie.

"Believe me, I was surprised too when I found out I was a witch" Hermione chuckled, earning a confused look from the cub.

"You didn't know?"

"When I was a child, I knew I could do things that were not normal for ordinary people but when I turned eleven, a professor from Hogwarts came and Introduced me to the wizarding world. She was the one that told me I was a witch but my time wasn't necessarily easy. I felt different in both worlds because muggle born, like me, weren't seen very highly by others" This time, his frown wasn't one of confusion but of sadness, he wasn't happy to learn that one of his Alphas was treated horribly for being who she was.

"That's Terrible" Those around him nodded in agreement but had only seen the soft smile that graced Hermione's face.

"It is but I was lucky enough to make amazing friends and found two magical siblings, which is rare in our world" Harry and Ginny smiled brightly at their sister, who spoke so fondly of them and the others who came from the magical world and remained by her side.

"Will my sister, Leah, be a shapeshifter too?" This question caught the pack off guard but no one noticed Harry stiffen as the unfamiliar name came up.

"We aren't sure, there's a possibility that she would but there's a chance she wouldn't either... We can only wait and see" Sam said reassuringly, though he dreaded to think of his ex-girlfriend being in his pack. Their breakup ended horribly, he only wanted to protect her from himself and when he realised that she wasn't his Imprint, he couldn't continue to be with her. He had told Hermione of their relationship and he couldn't quite tell whether she was feeling the same dread as he was or not, in all honesty, she seemed rather calm.

"Any more questions?" She asked as Sam wrapped his arms tighter around her waist, snuggling his face into the crook of her neck.

"What about my mom? What do I tell her?" He asked worryingly. Hermione tilted her head with a thought-filled expression before turning towards Paul and Ginny, who eyed her suspiciously when they noticed her smile.

"Paul and Ginny would be thrilled to talk to your mother for you, they will explain what happened and why you will need to stay here for a while" Seth sighed in relief and lowered his head, missing the half-hearted glare from the couple and the childish grin that appeared on Hermione's face.

"Right, it's getting late. You can borrow one of the boy's clothes for tonight and those two can collect your belongings tomorrow for you. Twins, show Seth to his bedroom please, it's opposite yours but so help me, if you do one single prank, I will hex your arses" The twins raised their hands in surrender before wrapping their arms around Seth's shoulder and guiding him out of the room, but not without a goodbye wave from the cub. One by one, everyone began to make their way to bed, leaving Hermione and Sam alone in the family room, still in each other arms.

"That went better than expected" Sam sighed against her neck before nibbling on her skin here and there, smiling in triumph when she let out a small moan.

"Hm? Y-Yeah it did" She responded absentmindedly as all she could focus on was his mouth on her neck.

"Let's go to bed, baby"
