My CEO Alpha Keeping in Touch
The Toronto Council of Alphas was meeting again for the third time that month. The difference this time was that NARC requested the meeting. They wanted to ensure that the concerned councils in all the cities affected by the Fae were updated. They figured we would be the ones that would face the crowds of shifters and humans alike to assure them the Fae were dealt with permanently. Again, they met at the hotel where the first conference took place. This time, the protesters were oddly missing from their line at the front of the building. Malcolm and Jordan entered through the secured underground parking garage, though. As they settled into the usual waiting game, they mixed with the other alphas of the city and their staff. Jordan came back to Malcolm’s side after he’d been lured to speak with a few other Betas from the other packs. “Well, if the gossip is true, it looks like the Moon Goddess or fate has seen fit to make a good start on the next generati

The Toronto Council of Alphas sat at the request of the Ruling Council. The men listened as they gave them the good news that they removed almost all the Fae over the last day. But they would need everyone to be on their guard because no one could be sure whether they removed them all. The Ruling Council admitted that their people now possessed the ability to find the remaining Fae should they be hiding. But the larger threat was gone. When a member of the press asked how many losses had there been. The answer horrified them clearly. “We’re still working out the official numbers, but it’s high.” “How many humans died to stop this?” “The number of humans involved were less than one percent of the forces sent to push them back if you have looked at the narrow view that only people without a magical genetic component are human. You have your stories of married couples dying within hours or days of each other because they couldn’t live without the other?

Melody watched Malcolm leave for the city with mixed feelings. Her logical brain told her that with three more weeks of pregnancy, he’d have lots of time to be home before she had this pup. But her pregnancy mind was telling her to panic. He would miss this birth, too. There were no facts to back this up horrible sinking feeling. She’d done it without him before and what could he do that would help during the labour or the delivery? There she went again, thinking it’s better if he just missed it all. No one would have to make everything look pretty and acceptable to him. She’d be able to concentrate on her labour and delivery without worrying about Malcolm wanting to kill someone every time she grimaced. “Is it safe to come out?” Ellie’s voice came from the crawl space under the stairs. “What are you doing under there? You’re supposed to be in bed and cuddling you two.” “They’re sleeping like they should be. I’m looking to see if there’s a ch

Ellie tried to focus on her pups. They were little miracles, and she didn’t want to let them out of her sight. Now, though, with their temporary home full of well-meaning people, she was at a loss. Everything was done and then some. Now she was being pushed to look after herself and all that. She just wanted to chill here with her pups and Mel. Watch little David play, then nap while the pups napped. That all changed with the parade of handmade frozen meals, the laundry, and the dishwasher coming on. The placed hummed with life and it felt intrusive. One look at Melody told her she was as off kilter as she was. Neither planned for this much attention. At least, David enjoyed the extra attention. Her two weren’t readying to demand such attention yet. They just happily existed right now. Ellie knew enough from being there for when David was born to enjoy this if she could, because it wouldn’t last. The idea was to give her time to heal, someone experi

The healer insisted on staying the night, and Ellie was thankful for that. The healer was correct. Melody didn’t last until morning, and Ellie was waking Jordan up with a panicked phone call. They needed to get home. Melody was in labour. Jordan promised Ellie that he’d see her in three to four hours. Just make sure that Melody didn’t have her pup at that time. “The call has been made. Jordan promises they’ll be here in three to four hours. The roads are good and free of most of the traffic. They should be good to get here with time to spare.” “Yes, well, everything looks good here and I doubt anything will change too fast at that time. So everything is going to plan. He was coming home tomorrow, wasn’t he?” “Good, then I can kill him twice. Once for David and now for this one. Geez, how did I forget about this part of the entire process?” “Dear, you’re just starting right now. Soon enough, I’ll help you with the pain and it’ll go much

Jordan had woken Malcolm up to tell him their time was up. Melody was in labour, and they must drop everything into other people’s hands, then head home. Malcolm peppered Jordan with questions about Melody and the situation there, between making decisions on who would step in for them. So while making the drive back to the cottage, Jordan was settling those matters. The feelings of conflict went so much beyond guilt at pawning his work onto others, to the hurry and wait as the vehicle they drove in only moved so fast. Malcolm struggled to keep his head in the game again, and this time it wasn’t because he was neglecting anything. He rambled off information to Jordan about things that must be followed up. A list of reports, files, and documents formed with lists of people who needed to get them. He’d added a few for himself just so he had something to do in the quiet moment. “Ellie texted me to say everything is fine and so far, there appears to be plenty

Gisselle St. Denis, the Head of the Parkside healers in the Muskoka territory, was a busy woman this morning, and in much demand this week. The elders were pestering her for information about the Alpha’s mate. No one risked the wrath of the Elders right by calling her Luna. It was too close to draw political lines in the sand. Gisselle had a thing or two to tell them and as the days go on and she’s learning more about these two women, she was going to be drawn that line. Melody wasn’t communicating with her about her labour unless Gisselle asked direct questions. Each time Melody was ignoring her needs so Gisselle wasn’t inconvenienced. Gisselle was upset about this, and the fact her assistants were coming to her with concerns about things they were finding out about the two foxes. There wasn’t any hate as far as Gisselle could see. It was more a concern about their mental state. Gisselle was now going through the patient files she’d just received. A li

Three hours after returning to the cottage, Malcolm saw his pup come into the world. It wasn’t at all what he’d expected and if they had any more, he’d gladly wait elsewhere. Gisselle believed the little male would be another pup. So, Malcolm finally made a list of the information he needed to add to the pack’s registry. He couldn’t believe that he’d not added Melody or David to the registry. They’d added Ellie along with the twins. He hoped that’s why no one was respecting them before this. Once things quieted down, it was late enough in the morning for the elders to make their appearance and demands clear. They wanted to be introduced to both pups and do it all official. Malcolm was more than annoyed by this. They expected to be catered to without thought to Melody’s health or anyone else. Why did it even have to be today at all? “Alpha, could you let me handle this as the Luna’s healer? It’s my duty to ensure she recovers. I know you haven’t said anyth

My CEO Alpha Back to the City
The investigation took weeks, and by then they’d moved into the packhouse. Life slowly got back to normal. The pack warmed up to Melody and Ellie. When they realized they were the minds behind their products. The she-wolves embraced them readily. Malcolm and Jordan split their time between the city and the Muskoka territory. Even the various construction projects were progressing well, with no more interference. The Fae were nowhere to be seen. But there were new rogues in the shadows of the neutral zones, and they weren’t living there quietly. The council of alphas were making plans to deal with them along with an ever pending war between the Toronto packs, the Scarborough Grove, and the Don Valley. It was something that cropped up again and again. They had history and family conflict. No one could blame them for the father they had. Now there’s a girl driving a wedge between them again, with her mere existence. Ellie was concerned about Jordan. He’d have to come to terms wi
My CEO Alpha The Speech and Response
“When I stepped into leadership of this pack, I made it clear we wouldn’t hold on to old prejudices. This might not be a message that got to some of the most recent pack members. This is a historic time and events have been fast and furious. So, I will state this again without naming names or telling tales out of school, as the humans say.” He paused and looked about. Several uneasy people were now relaxed. “That’s not to say those people will avoid the appropriate punishments later. Now, we are a wolf pack who recognizes fate can grant us mates who aren’t wolves. We don’t punish a person for their species, race, lack of magic, or anything like that. If you have a problem with another, you seek to resolve it without harming each other. Yes, I know for some that is a tough thing to do. But we do that within this pack. I have heard that someone has used their station and position of responsibility to force their political beliefs onto the pack as a whole. The reports I rece
My CEO Alpha Most of the Effort was Packing
“Now you’re sure we have everything. I’d hate to get there and find out we’re missing something.” Melody was checking her bags again. Malcolm could see her anxiety in her actions. Normally, she would never reveal it. Now he figured it was her motherly instincts kicking in to protect and care for her pups. “Melody, there will be other families there. I’m sure if you’ve forgotten something, someone will have it.” If looks could kill, Malcolm would need a healer, at least if not an undertaker, as the humans would say. Melody didn’t appreciate his assurances. As Jordan passed him with another car seat. They had to install three of them and that was the last. Jordan made eye contact with Malcolm, and they exchanged a sense of commiseration. Malcolm figured it was because Jordan just escaped a similar situation upstairs. “Ellie, let me get the base in the car and then I’ll come get the pups for you. I don’t want you to carry two of those heavy car seats. Just
My CEO Alpha Growing and Changing
Malcolm didn’t stay long after that at the meeting. The elders clearly had a lot to chew on and get straight. He’d gone on to remind them their job wasn’t to run the pack or tell people what and how to do things. They weren’t to threaten the pack members if they said or did anything. Their job was to advise and give council. Use their experience and list, assist in finding answers. Guide the next generation. Someone had lost their way and Malcolm would keep an eye on them. So this wouldn’t happen again. They were getting ready to settle down for the rest of the evening when the elders appeared at their door. This time they requested if we could introduce them to the new pack members. A far cry from the morning. Malcolm noticed the speaker wasn’t there, but Cathleen was. “I’m sorry about all of this, Alpha. I truly didn’t believe it. Gisselle was sent by the others. However, I spoke with her about how unreasonable the horrible words were. She agreed with me. I just ask that you
My CEO Alpha The Devil in the Details
Malcolm was unhappy when he entered the elder’s meeting room to hear this information. What were they thinking, pulling this? Running on rumours and speculation. That wasn’t how he or how he expected his pack to run. Malcolm waiting rather impatiently for a response that didn’t appear to come fast enough for his liking. “Tight lipped, are we? Anyone else like to step up to the speaker’s spot and inform me of exactly what my mate, they accused your Luna of what and by whom?” “I can’t tell you who reported this to us, but I would love to fill you in on this. It’s rather disgraceful, over-the-top, and factually unbelievable.” Cathleen stood up from her seat, a look of sour disapproval on her face. “To make matters worse, they kept me out of the loop on the births that happened at the cottage. This, I gather, was to ensure that I didn’t spill the beans about what they were doing.” “Madam, if you’d please state the accusations that they forced m
My CEO Alpha Called on the Carpet
Gisselle found herself basically being escorted to the elders. She was sure they weren’t pleased with her right now after the subtle stance she took. Now she’s having to tell them their information about the Luna was full of misleading or outright false information. That wouldn’t go down well either. She entered the building that the elders used for their private meeting. Cathleen was there this time. She’d been missing when the elders stopped in to see the Luna and recognize the pups. “I hear they left me out of the loop in being told the pup was born early this morning.” Cathleen cornered Gisselle about this as soon as she got there. “For that, I’m sorry. I left a message with someone, and they were supposed to contact everyone. Whatever happened, it wasn’t on my part, I had my hands full at the time.” “Tell me you found these fools were acting out of ignorance and that none of this is true.” “Truthfully, none of it was true. Not
My CEO Alpha Plans to Re-enforcing His Leadership
When Malcolm woke up, his phone was inundated with messages, wanting to know about everything. From where was he, to be everyone alright, even a few inquiries about complaints from a couple of elders about him throwing tradition to the wind? Business seemed to be well contained, with only a few reassurances that he takes his time, and it would be managed for him. That meant he would need to deal with several things here at home, make several decisions, and find his footing in this new dynamic. If someone told him he’d be mated and a father of two right now, three years ago, he’d have laughed at them and asked them what they were smoking. Now he had one almost running. They needed to get some safety items set up in the cottage. Malcolm was there to catch David this time before he fell down the stairs. No one told him pups moved that fast. Now there were four! He thought he’d let Melody look after this. But with the mess in how people were communicati
My CEO Alpha You’re Never too Old to Discipline
Malcolm was more than annoyed with the elders. This was his family and his pack. That meant his word was law and what they did was overstep their place. He didn’t have to listen to their advice, and that’s all their words should be. A voice of experience or a different perspective. They shouldn’t be demanding anything. “What is going on out there?” “Insensitive, self-important ninnies every one of them. The elders were downstairs. They expected you to give birth and then get up and walk down to them so we can present the boys to them officially.” “Is that what it was?” Melody sighed and kissed David’s head as he cuddled. He was still trying to wake up after being woken up several times during the night. “I would have thought you’d want to get it over with.” “We don’t have a name for this little one. I’m not leaving anything to chance. They make me worry that if we don’t have a name, then they’ll select one themselves to expedite things. Are they still giving yo
