Amelie
"Come in, kiddo!" I didn't even have a chance to knock. Dad knew I was at the door. I open the door and see him and Celeste sitting on one of the sofas with books and scrolls on the coffee table in front of them.
"Have a seat. We have lots to go over." Dad gestures me to set in the sofa across for him and Celeste.
This seems more serious than what I thought, "Are we going to need the bourbon again?"
Dad laughs, "It is serious but not in the same way. Come on, sit."
"OK, what's with all the books and scrolls?" I take a seat on the sofa.
Dad unrolls one of the scrolls. I look at it, and I see some names I recognize. Then I see mine, and I have two lines coming from my name, one going to Tate with an X through his name and one going to Gideon. It's a family tree—a really old one. "As you can see, it's our family tree. I want you to look carefully at al

Chapter 32: True Family History Pt.2 Amelie "Dad, are we… part elf?" I lean in, waiting for an answer. Dad laughs, "No, we are as pure werewolf as you can get. Raphael was sent to America by the moon goddess through the prophecy of the elves. He was also instructed to help the native packs and to settle our pack where we are now. The moon goddess herself directly controls our bloodline. Look again at all the Alpha's daughters before you. Do you see anything else?" He pushes the scroll closer to me. I look at every ancestor analyzing. "One thing I see is there is never more than three children from the Alpha. All the daughters became Lunas. Oh! I recognize the pack names! These are the strongest packs in those states! Wait, Hope? She's in Texas. The Golf Cost Pack is the strongest there?" I was worried about my little sister. I did not want her to be a target. "They have been on the decline since the Alp

Chapter 33: The First of Our Kind Gideon We step into the bedroom. “Amelie, what’s going on?” She’s pacing and biting her thumb, “I think you might want to sit down.” I sit on the bed, “So are you going to tell me what’s going on or chew your thumb off?” She turns and gives me her one-eyebrow raise, “I just learned some critical information today. Dad said if you have any questions, I can’t answer; he will. He expects you will want to talk to him tomorrow.” She’s talking so fast, and her pacing quickens. I stand up and grab her shoulder to stop her and make her look at me. “Amelie, tell me what the hell is going on!” She looks at me wide-eyed. She blurts out, “the moon goddess is messing with your bloodline!” “Please make sense. You sound crazy right now.” I sit down on the bed and set her next to me. “Take a deep breath and start from the beginning.” “I am a direct desce

Chapter 34: The Alpha in Charge Gideon “I don’t have all the answers to your questions. But I can give you what I do know.” I stand up and stretch a bit. I stand in front of Amelie and start with what I know, “I know my family is incredibly old and came to the US with the Ashwood pack. I know my great-grandfather created the current structure we have now with the Delta Force. My family has always allied with the Ashwoods and been the vice-head of the Alpha council. That’s all the facts I know. However, if what you tell is true about your lineage, I am honored that the goddess has chosen me and my bloodline to be part of direct influence. That means my descendants and pack have a strong future.” Amelie looks up at me and just blinks her eyes a few times, and her mouth drops open. “I ah… didn’t think about it like that. To tell you the truth, I feel like it’s divine manipulation. Like I’m just a tool, a walking incubator

Chapter 35: Alpha to Alpha Gideon "Come in, Alpha Gideon." I didn't even knock yet. I open the door and enter Alpha John's office. He has old books and scrolls all over the coffee table. "Amelie and I had a lot to talk about last night. I was hoping to get more detail from you today. My men are working on James' tracking training in the woods today. So, we should have plenty of time. I sit on one of the sofas. John sit's across from me, "Before we get started, I have something to say. I am honored that the goddess chose you to be mated with Amelie. She deserves to be happy, and I am trusting you with that happiness. With all this family tree and bloodline crap, it's easy to lose sight of other things and put your children's happiness. My children carry a heavy burden, and so do their mates. Amelie has always had it the hardest. I knew people would talk behind my back about having a

Chapter 36: Alpha to Alpha P.2 Gideon "Maybe it wasn't Tate but Karen. Amelie said the emotional and physical abuse and control got worse once she moved in with them. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find too much about her. She is in her early to mid-fifties. Would you or your father have crossed paths with her?" I look at John, hoping he has something. "If I did, Amelie would never have been in that situation, to begin with. I would have locked Amelie up and never allowed harm to come to her." I can tell he blames himself for everything she's been through. "I think she was your second chance mate, but you are her destined mate. I know this sounds insensitive, but you would not have your daughters if Amelie was not your second chance. I do believe Amelie was meant to help you raise them. Not many wolves know what it feels like to have stepparents." "I hope you can accept them

Chapter 37: Heat Amelie It's so hot! I kick off the blanket. Gideon is still asleep. I try to be as quiet as possible and move to a cool spot on the bed, flip my pillow, and try to get back to sleep. Nope! Burning up! Do I have a fever? I feel fine; I'm just so hot. I get up as quietly as possible and go into the bathroom. I splash some cold water on my face, but it doesn't help. I turn on the shower and undress. I get under the cold water, and it feels better, but I'm still so hot. I get out of the shower and grab a towel. As I'm grabbing a towel, I look at myself in the mirror. I look back again, and I saw my eyes were flashing between their usual dark grey to Inari's topaz yellow. Then as I walk closer to the mirror to get a better look, they turn solid topaz, and I can feel I don't have control of my own body. Inari is in control. "Inari, what's going on?" I'm frantic. I have no idea if this

Chapter 38: Love or Bond Amelie "Am, is this the first time you have gone into heat?" I feel a bit of possessiveness coming from Gideon. It's like he wants this experience only ever to be his. "I think so. I thought I had before, but after experiencing this, I know I didn't before." I push my feelings of love and security through the bond. Gideon hums when he feels my emotions, "These two days will be intense. We will swap back and forth with our wolves and continue to solidify our bond." Gideon's hands slowly trail down my back. I feel him push his emotions through the bond. The rush overtakes me. It's not a feeling of lust or desire but need and longing. I cup his face in my hands, "You are the greatest gift I could ever receive." I pull him to my lips. It's different than any kiss we have shared before. It's like a greeting in a way. As if we are embracing for the first time. I guess, in a sense, we ar

Chapter 39: Getting Emotional Amelie "Time to get up," I feel Gideon nuzzling my neck. His touch makes me want to enjoy the moment, "Can't we stay in bed a little longer." "Come on, up." He bites my neck playfully. It is instantly making me want to keep him in bed. "We are leaving tomorrow, and we have a lot still to prepare." "If you keep that up, neither of us will leave this bed." I pull myself closer to him. I nuzzle and kiss his chest. It's become my favorite place cuddled up next to him. He picks me up, "We will have time again tonight, my storm." He carries me to the bathroom and puts me down; he turns on the shower. We jump in, still teasing each other but hurrying at the same time. Every second we are together, I can't help but smile. We get dressed and head down to the kitchen. Benjamin and Becky are already down there. It has become routine for us to interrupt t

Chapter 90 Gideon "Alright, gentlemen, what's today's topic?" I take a seat on the sofa next to James, John, and Harlow. Flynn, Logan, and Rylie are sitting across from us on the other couch. "The raid and the New Moon Alliance issue has found its way overseas to the International Councils. They are calling a review of the incident. So, in other words, we all have to go on a trip." John sighs. This was to be expected, but it's still a pain. "So where are we being dragged to this time?" Logan grunts. Now that he is part of the Alpha Council and played a significant role in the raid, he was required to attend. Logan didn't like traveling more than a few hours from his pack, so this was a major annoyance. "South Korea." "What!?" Logan stood up in protest. "Hell No! I'm not going!" "Alpha Logan, you know very well you don't have a choice. You and your heir are required to attend as we all are." Flynn l

Chapter 89 Amelie "Oh no, no no no! Got you!" I lift Aspen in the air, and the sound of his giggles is the world's sweetest music. "Where do you think you're going, mister!" Birch squeals as I pick him up in my other arm. Escaping mom is our favorite game these days. I can't believe they turned one today. My little trees are growing so fast, and of course, since they are always around older kids, they have developed very quickly and have already started walking. "Daisy, Rose, girls, can you help me with your brothers for a second?" I pop my head out of my bedroom door, looking for signs of my daughters. They come tumbling out of their bedroom door. "Yes, mommy, we can help." Rose eagerly bounces past me into my bedroom. Daisy twirling behind. I set the boys down on the floor with their toys. "Thank you, girls. Once mommy is ready, she will help you get ready for the party. Are you excited to see your grandparents?" "We w

Chapter 88 Gideon I must hurry. I'm whipping through the mountains running the best direct route I can. My lungs burn my paws feel like they will split and bleed at any moment, but stopping is not an option. I don't know what happened, but Daisy was hurt, and Amelie is in a lot of pain. I'm still too far to bond-link her, but I feel her. I feel a sharp rock split my paw; I keep going. "Ulv, we need to dig deep. How do we use our fae and elf magic?" "Not sure, never tried." Ulv is as determined as I am. Nothing is stopping us. Ulv is in control, so I concentrate and search for a trigger to our magic. We needed the boost desperately. I first searched by exploring the bonds that will help me find our core and where Ulv and I are connected. When Ulv is in control, I usually don't fully let go. The only other time was during Amelie's heat, and then I focused on her and our spiritual connection. I start with my mate bond. It's like a

Chapter 87 Amelie No! Somethings wrong! My chest feels tight. It's Daisy. What's wrong. My body moves before my thoughts can catch up. I have to get to the great room now. The pack-link was alerted too. I move as fast as I can. I feel someone coming up from behind me. I turn my head and see Shay and Jordan closing the gap on me. Becky and Bailey are following close behind. "You feel it too?" I don't stop; I keep running. "Easten is terrified." It sounds like his mother is too. "I've never felt this much rage and fear from Ryan." Jordan's tone is anxious. "We just saw everyone leave and felt we should follow. What's going on?" Becky is already panting. "I don't know, but it's the kids." I keep looking forward; I must keep moving forward. We are greeted with a paralyzing scene. I see wolves I've never seen before. They have all the Omegas and pups corralled in the corner. They have silver weapons, and the O

Chapter 86 Gideon "Let her go, you coward." Beta Newman snarls through gritted teeth. Lacy is strangely calm as the bright silver blade is positioned at her ebony neck. It's as if Nox is holding the still night hostage, but by the look in Lacy's eyes, the night was about to strike back. "Nox, why are you doing this? I am your mate. You love me." Lacy's tone didn't match her face. I could tell she was buying time. I didn't know why. I could only play along and trust father and daughter. "Oh, Lacy dear. I've never loved you. You were just a means to an end. Although you are a tempting means." Nox takes a deep inhale of Lacy's scent. This must have been what she was waiting for. Lacy digs her claws in Nox's side. He drops his arm holding the knife, and she rushes to her father's arms. "You bitch! You will pay for that! Don't think I will treat you as nicely as before." Nox is holding his side but now has the silver blade pointed at me. He must be

Chapter 85 Amelie "Are coms up between packs?" This is it. The day of reckoning has finally come. "Yes, Luna, everyone is connected." Magen gives me a nod and waits for my call. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I hate being the center of anything, but now was not the time to falter. "OK. Let's get everyone connected." With a few keystrokes, the wall of monitors lights up. "Hello, everyone. Our warriors need our eyes, ears, and prayers. Our central team will be watching the action, but we will need your help as well. Thank you all for joining virtually this evening. Let the Goddess be on our side." I have three monitors on the desk in front of me connected to Gideon, dad, James, Riley, and Logan. We spread out all the ranked members joining the raid, so Marcus went with my dad and James. At the same time, Tyson and Uncle Lucas went to one of the separate off-pack faculties together. Some of the Luna's and ranked females are also joining the raid

Chapter 84Amelie"I'm doing the best I can to wrap my brain around all of this, but to be honest, it's overwhelming. Why are we and our children so important to the goddess? Why did Ulv and Inari get reincarnated? Why does the world need Truth Seers and Guardians? We haven't even addressed the royal elf blood or how I'm now part fae! How did you become the goddess' messenger? And why is this tea so good?" Gideon's fist slams down on the table, and he's staring at the mug of tea with complete befuddlement."hehehe." I can't help all those questions, and he ends asking about the tea. I feel like my head is going to explode with all this information. It's like we are a big science experiment, just lab rats. As my thoughts darkened, my giggling stopped."Don't doubt the goddess you are precious. Our children are precious." Inari coos to me. I don't answer; I don't need to. I know she's right, but it doesn't make it feel any better."I do

Chapter 83Gideon"Hello, my boy. Come hug your grandmother." She's so familiar to me for some reason. I have this sense of comfort, almost motherly. She's beautiful but more in a celestial or angelic way. Her hair is white but has an iridescent quality to it. She feels ancient but barely looks 40. Her eyes are the same as mine, deep green, and I look at them every day in the mirror and in the girls. I feel a push from behind.I look back, and Amelie pushes me forward and waves her hand for me to go to this woman. I shake my head 'no,' and she pushes me again. I feel drawn to her, but I'm hesitant to give in to that urge."Daddy, come give grandma a hug!" Daisy grabs one of my hands and Rose the other, and they pull me toward the mysterious woman. I could resist them easily, but I don't. I'm standing in front of her. She has her arms outstretched, and she pulls me into a hug. It's the most soothing feeling I've felt since before my mot

Chapter 82 Amelie "Don't be nervous." Gideon places his hand on my knee to stop it from bouncing. I look up into his beautiful green eyes, full of confidence and strength. "I'm not nervous. I just want this whole mess to be done with. I'm anxious for the end." He gives me a sympathetic smile, "Me too." "Alpha, Luna, everyone is signed in. Are you ready to begin?" Marcus readies his laptop. Gideon gives him a nod, and the wall of monitors in front of us lights up. He quickly takes his place behind us next to Jordan and our ranked pack members. Gideon adjusts the microphone sitting on his desk in front of him. "Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining this virtual meeting. As many of you know, we are up agisting a threat from our own kind. They have been working in the shadows gaining bits of power here and there, pulling Alphas to their side. Their worst offenses are kidnapping, murder, and extortion. They have been lurking i
