Regardless of what everyone might say, what her old mentor and her most trusted friend tried to claim, Lani knew she wasn't at fault. Not for this. They tried to twist the story, tried to turn you against her and unfortunately for everyone might have succeeded. At least her pack was loyal, and you would be too, she was sure. She had kicked out and cut off those who disagreed, and would just keep trying to make everything up to you. Sweet you, you came into the pack like the sun after a hurricane and God it wasn't her fault that she needed you. Lani knew she hadn't crossed any lines yet, she was the packs Alpha. It was her job to ensure everyone was comfortable and safe. It wasn't wrong to follow you around every so often to make sure you were settling into your new home. She only knew your routine because she was making sure you were safe. With a scent as strong as yours from potential rouges, compared to that risk what did it matter that Lani had memorized your habits? "Here let me help with that." Taking the groceries from you without asking. It wasn't crossing a line. "Second floor right?" It was third. She knew that, she just didn't want to try and explain herself again. It was her job to protect you. Maybe if your particular scent wasn't so pleasant she'd back off. You were reminiscent of memories just out of reach. Smelling of a warm beach and rain. An undertone that made her think of childhood but could never place. It was laughable how quickly Lani was eager to memorize you, tracking was always a skilled she excelled in. Keeping track of you in this town was easier than she expected. She wasn't one to believe in fate before you but damn it surely it couldn't be chance that you happened to move here, where her pack was the one in control of most surrounding territories. You would want this too, she just couldn't be direct with risk of you being shy.
