**Emmett POV*
Charlie hung up the phone and I stood listening for a moment to the dead line. Slowly but surely I processed what she told me before attempting to ring her back. Each time the phone rang out. Frustrated I tossed my phone aside and went straight for my fathers office. Titan paced my mind just as distraught as I was. I paused outside the office door before taking a breath and knocking."Enter" Dads voice boomed.He was an older version of me, he was as big and as muscular our hair was the same colour but his was slightly longer in length and hung just above his chin. His desk was littered with paperwork and his lap top was open. He looked up and took me in"Ah Emmett your keen today I hadn't expected you yet" he smiled mistaking my appearance in his office as enthusiasm to learn the ins and outs of being an Alpha to the pack."Dad, can an Alpha were wolf get a human pregnant?" I rushed into my question before I lost my nerve."There have always been rumoured myths of its occurance but as the werewolf pup grows much faster then a human baby it generally ends in miscarriage or complications. Human pregnancy lasts nine months , alpha werewolf pregnancy is generally five to six months only therefore its unlikely a human could carry a pup growing at the fast rate an Alpha pup tends to grow." He paused and took in my features. " Why do you ask Son?"I sighed placing my head in my hands and sinking into the tan leather sofa in his office. "When we were in New York City I met a girl named Charlie, I was so drawn to her I couldn't help myself. We had a short fling but as she was human despite the overwhelming pull I felt to her I knew logically she wasn't my mate I knew as a future Alpha she could never be my Luna so I ended it and left as planned.""And?" My father prompted from his position in his desk chair."And this morning she rang me upset saying she was pregnant." I added."Your sure she was human?" He whispered"Come on Dad she had no scent she was human" I snapped.He stood up rubbing his temple. "How far along pregnant is she possibly?" He replied.I paused mentally working it out."Emmett?" He demanded."I'm working it out." I snarled"Work it out faster." He yelled back his worry now making itself evident."three maybe four weeks at most." I answered shrugging.He sat back down "which places her roughly twelve to fourteen weeks in human gestation I believe. She should have miscarried an Alpha pup in theory by now." He sighed"I am not wishing that on her or my pup" I yelled."No one is" he snipped back. "Is it possible she was already pregnant by a human male?" He added lowering his tone."No." I muttered "she was pure when I met her""Great" he placed his own head in his hands. " we need to look after this girl now. Regardless she is right now carrying your pup, my grandpup and the future Alpha of the Pearl Moon Pack half human or not, therefore she will be treated as so. I will go to the Elders for special permission to bring her here and inform her of the Werewolf existence." He added."I'm sorry" I said feeling awkward."Too late now Son what's done is done. What is this girls name?" He returned to a business like tone."Charlie Tudor" I answered as he jotted it down."Unusual name." He raised his eyebrow. "I will call the Elders now and deal with it." He told me. I stood to leave "Emmett" he called me and I turned in the doorway. "Do me a favour, until this is straightened out you and Adam are to keep it in your pants" he added. "Alpha's orders" I left closing the door.I wandered through the pack house looking for Adam. Titan was whining in my head for Charlie and his offspring. I ignored the smiles and flirtatious eyes of all the she wolves. None of them compared to Charlie. I could feel an overwhelming desire to be near her. I ran my hands through my hair as I informed my Beta of the situation and then passed on what my father had ordered."Shit what did I do" Adam yelled at me when I told him about my fathers orders for him to also refrain from sleeping around."Oh right that's all your worried about" I snapped"No dude, I'm sorry you got into this but you liked her and you pined over leaving her so I fail to see how this is a bad thing. You wanted her back and this is certainly a way to keep her in your life." He scoffed.I flung myself on the sofa. There was a girl out there carrying my pup, I was going to be a father. It was all too much Titan howled in my mind."let me out, let me run" he pleaded."Adam let's go I need to let Titan run off the tension." We went outside and shifted into our Wolves Titan was a large majestic jet black wolf, he towered in sature above other wolves. Adams wolf Idol was not as tall or broad as Titan he was a Tan colour wolf matching Adams sandy blonde colouring. After shifting I raced into the dense forest that led to the mountains. Idol followed at my side.**Alpha Williams POV**After Emmett left I shook my head many an Alpha males wolf libido got him in trouble but impregnating a human was an unusual and unforeseen misfortune but by no means terrible after all it was how most of the Alpha blood lines had reduced over the years. I took a breath and dialled the Elders. Having explained the situation the Elder Jones paused."We agree its in the best interest of the species for you to take her into your pack and have your pack Dr deal with her pregnancy." He answered."Thank you" relief washed over me"Alpha Williams who is this girl for our records please?" He finally added."Charlie." I read off the paper I had written her name down on "Charlie Tudor""Charlie Tudor?" He responded."Yes I believe so." I was now confused by his tone."Don't do anything I'll be in touch" he abruptly hung up.I placed my head on my desk."What the f*ck is going on."** Charlie pov **"Pregnant?" Sasha gasped. "Shut the f*ck up!" She added more loudly. One of the bar patrons looked our way."Shush" I muttered "Its not common knowledge" I hissed."Are you sure?" Sasha hissed back."Yea I'm sure, but I've a Dr's appointment next week to confirm. Its just weird" I added."Weird?" She looked confused."Well I'm what four maybe five weeks pregnant tops I shouldn't even be noticing it yet." I responded."Yea, and?" She prompted.I lifted my top and showed her my round pot belly"I'm in stretchy pants already at this rate I'll be a f*cking house in nine months. " I grumbled.Sasha burst out laughing I flashed her daggers. My phone beeped and I pulled it out."Lover boy, the father of the fruit of your loins?" Sasha smirked"Worse." I muttered. "Its my father he's coming to visit me tomorrow."The smirk left Sasha's face now"Shit" she looked at me."I'm twenty one years of age not much he can do about it." I replied in a false bravado tone."Absolutely your a grown woman. You've done nothing wrong" she nodded."Shit he is going to flip out" I added my false tone slipping. Both Sasha and I were fully aware of my fathers ability to control everything and everyone around him. Meaning I grew up in a very sheltered upbringing.Sasha nodded in sympathy. "Yup who are we kidding the most strict man I know is going to murder you."I put my head in my hands. My father was a kind but strict man with a strong presence. My grandfather was worse I was only praying he wasn't on the trip as bad as my father was my grandfather was worse. "Lets hope my Grandfather isn't with him" I said to Sasha."Oh please god let Grandpa Tudor be torturing someone else." She nodded in agreement.*Emmett POV *There was some excitement in the pack when I woke the next morning when I entered the pack dining room apparently according to Adam Elder Jones and an unknown Elder had been escorted from the territory gates to meet my father. I sat down and as I was about to place the piece of pancake in my mouth my father mind linked me"My office now."I dropped my fork. Adam heard the mind link too and stood along side me."Duty calls" I sighed as we left the dining hall .**Alpha Williams POV**"Welcome Elder Jones" I warmly stood to greet my guests."Hello Alpha Williams I am sorry for the sudden intrusion but recent events are more complicated then they seem. I'd like to introduce you to High Elder Tudor." He added. I reached my hand out but he did not reach to shake it. I could feel his Alpha power along with his displeasure emanating from him."Tudor?" I raised an eyebrow quizzically."Yes Tudor" he snapped. "Your son defiled my granddaughter" he added."My son thought she was human." I began"And" he interrupted. "Whats that got to do with his behaviour?""I believe it takes two to tango. The question here that's more pressing is why does your granddaughter live as a human and according to my Son she has no identifiable scent? What the hell is going on?" At that moment Emmett and Adam entered the office. Elder Jones signalled for them to sit on the sofa."Ah perfect timing please sit and High Elder Tudor will continue the explanation he was about to provide us with." He added as Adam and Emmett nodded silently. High Elder Tudor glared at Emmett but refrained from reacting and took a breath before starting his explanation.**Alpha Williams POV**"Obviously my Granddaughter Charlie is a werewolf, quite a powerful one at that. She is a pure true descendant of the legendary warrior-werewolf named Laigneach Fáelad. He was said to be the ancestor of a tribe of werewolves who were related to the kings of Ossory in eastern Ireland. Our pack is known as the Celtic Crescent Moon Pack. A few hundred years ago our packs Alpha blood was crossed with the blood of Meabh a mystic white witch which led to a hybrid strength of breed. This created problems as Alpha males in other packs sought out our females to breed with to strengthen their own blood lines. As you know mate bonds are powerful women were taken by force mates fought and blood was shed. Our females numbers reduced and the pack numbers declined and weakened. The Elder council decided the pack should be hidden and our females magically cloaked. Most of our females live as human and mate with male humans watering down our blood line again. ""How could you do
**Emmett POV **I struggled against Adam as he bundled me out of my fathers office and into the pack common room."Adam are you kidding me right now?" I snarled as I turned and kicked the coffee table in anger. The glass centre shattered. Titan was straining against every fiber in my being to break loose and go to Charlie and our pup. Rage filled my being.The door flung open and in marched my mother, without saying much she strode across the room and clipped me on the back of head. Titan bristled but my mother's scent hit our nose ensuring Titan calmed enough not to shift and tear her apart in his rage."What in gods name do you think you are doing?" She snapped. My mother was a kind and gentle Luna, albeit on occasion she could be over baring. She had a fearsome edge that saw many an Alpha cower. She was fierce when it came to her pack and her pups. Even Titan didn't dare cross my mother and her wolf. Before I could answer she continued on "You and Adam will clean this up and then y
**Selena POV **I stood in the meadow awaiting the others to discuss the looming faith of our existence on earth. A woman in a lush green gown appeared, her brown hair hung in wild curls only tamed by the vine and flower crown perched on her hair. Known to the world as Mother nature she was a source of power that ruled over the good white witches and the fairies."Selena." she bowed to me as her greeting."Terra." I smiled back warmly at my old friend also bowing to her. A black swirling shadow appeared before our pleasantries could continue and a tall man in a purple velvet suit materialised."Selena the sun is garish." He murmured shelding his eyes with the brim of his top hat."Apologies.' I murmured waving my hand and turning the sunshine to twilight lighting with a wave of my hand."Is that more appealing to you Baron Samedi?" Terra asked addressing our new arrival. Baron Samedi was the keeper of the dead he ferried and passed those from life to death. He had many names and form
**Charlie POV **"Alpha Liam Tudor so wonderful to have you here." The older man welcomed us enthusiastically reaching to embrace my father. He stood back "I am Alpha William Sinclair but everyone calls me Alpha Williams, this my mate Luna Catherine, my daughter Daphne and my son the future Alpha Emmett." He introduced us all."Great to meet you please call me Alpha Liam, this is my daughter Charlie Tudor, her best Friend Sasha Sanderson, and My Pack Warrior Danny Moore." My father responded as everyone politely shook hands.Luna Catherine suddenly grabbed me in an embrace. "I'm sorry honey I can't help it I am so happy to have a Grandpup and no matter what a new daughter." She enthused. I found her embrace comforting and warm, her words struck me as genuine.A figure emerged staggering from the surrounding trees clutching a bottle and with an arm thrown over a scantily clad girl. Luna Catherine broke our embrace and suddenly began to apologise "I'm so sorry please excuse me a moment.
**Emmett Pov**I helped Charlie settle herself on the examination table for her first sonogram."Comfortable?" I asked her as Titan was happily prancing around my mind at the close proximity of Charlie and our pup."For now yea but you best be ready with that werewolf strength to pull me back up." She laughed. "Or failing that a crane" she added. I smirked as Dr Teller entered. "Your beautiful." I muttered for her to hear only. She visibly relaxed her body language. "Good morning Alpha Emmett" he added. "Miss Charlie, I am Dr Teller its amazing to meet you" he gushed holding out his hand. Charlie gingerly took it and shook it. "I am the pack Doctor and I'm going to look after you and your pup if that's ok?" He asked. Charlie silently nodded. "Right let's have a look at the packs future" he keenly added shaking a bottle of ultra sound gel. "Little cold" he smiled as he squirted the gel on her exposed stomach.Everyone was silent as he ran the ultra sound wand over her stomach. He
**Charlie POV**On entering I spotted Emmett's parents Luna Catherine and Alpha Williams sitting with my father and grandfather."Go sit, I'll get you some lunch." Emmett gestured toward the seat next to his mother. I gingerly approached the indicated seat I could feel the eyes of others in the dinning room burning a hole in me. The chit chat of conversations also had silenced. Luna Catherine looked around sensing the change in atmosphere her eyes met mine."Ah Luna Charlie." She loudly beamed as she stood and walked towards me. She gave a little curtsey before embracing me. "Please join me." She added loudly before whispering "Ignore them pack instinct is to observe and scent out strangers." She linked me and walked me to the table her warm welcome seemed to seal my acceptance and the noise in the room began to return as the occupants returned to their own conversations. She held out the chair next to hers and I sat down thankful to be out of the lime light."Emmett was always privat
*** Charlie POV***Once finished being fitted for my match ball dress I excused myself from Luna Catherine's company and went in search of Sasha or Emmett anyone who could make me feel normal again. I wandered toward the grand staircase and in the direction of where I thought the pack common areas where as I reached the dining hall I spotted Sasha. Two young women walked past me both did a curtsey and softly muttered."Luna" with bowed heads. Sasha spotted me in that same moment and darted toward me. Copying the young women she cutsied and smugly gestured with bowed head."Luna"I grabbed her arm and straightened her up"Oh stop it." I hissed as I linked her and we walked back toward the grand stair case and out side."I need some air" I added as I dragged her toward the lake.Sensing my unease Sasha's demeanour became more serious. At the bank of the lake I let go her arm and she spoke."Okay, you need to take a breath." She told me feeling my overwhelmed emotions."I can't do this.
**Sasha pov**Another dark jet black wolf sprung from nowhere, colliding with Charlie mid air as they both forcefully crashed into the lake. Both were submerged under the water. I held me breath waiting for Charlie to surface, when there seemed to be a hesitation I began to wade into the lake. Suddenly Emmett burst to the surface in human form cradling Charlie to his chest. I continued to wade out toward them."She's burning up." He yelled."Keep her in the cold water" I gasped reaching them both."Danny go get the pack Doctor now." He roared as Danny took off in the direct of the pack hospital."What the hell happened?" Emmett turned to me."We were hanging out and just laying on the lakes edge and then they showed up." I responded watching Charlie's face contort in discomfort."They?""Shadow people." I replied. "Lost souls that live in the shadows or walk the ghost roads.""Why...." Emmett began but was cut off by a groan from Charlie, his attention switched to Charlie. "Shhhh its
Charlie PovIt had been a few months since Carmen had departed this world. We had all returned to our homes, Emmett had stayed behind to help Alpha Carlos in his pack based in Rome sentence and deal with what was left of Carmen's rogue army. We had kept our promise and created a royal council with a seat from every section of mystical and magical species represented. We had held the first one this morning and it had gone well despite the Vampire King Nicklaus slight annoyance that Emmett had asked for and won the vote to allow the Rebal Vampire King a vote on the council. It was unlikely he would attend the meetings or even take up his vote but I agreed with my mate, giving him a vote was a sign of respect. Queen Poppy had also agreed it was the right thing and argued with her husband it was just one vote and he had a right to a vote. Once Poppy threw her support behind me and Emmett the other council members agreed and King Nicklaus had reluctantly given in. It was the start of a new
Emmett POVThe fog dispersed and I let out a huge sigh of relief when I saw my mate walk towards Carmen and hold her as Daphne raced towards us. The Syphon Twins moved first gathering vials of the potion. As Madame Lux walked towards the fallen old witch. I made my own move and soon I was next to my mate, Jagger howling contentedly in my head as we discreetly checked her for injury. "Here." Jessica said holding out the potion to Charlie. Charlie however shook her head and dropped Carmen back onto the grass. "My blood may seal her away to the earth but someone else can finish her. I'm done with her i have worried and thought about this woman far too much" Charlie replied a cold tone to her voice. It didn't seem like Charlie was scared or upset even about binding the old witch forever there was something else that I couldn't place in my mates emotions. It was like an indifference that was now just rolling off her. She seemed numb in this moment. Taking the potion from Jessica she turn
Charlie Pov. Carmen's spell moved towards me and I dug deep trying to push my own spell back towards her. everyone relied on me and I had to win. I was born for this moment and I was failing. It was then I saw the change in the air as the small slitter appeared next to me and Sasha stepped out. "Hello Charlie." she said. I looked slightly frantic to see if Daphne was seeing this too but we were in a dense fog now and all I could see was the glow of the magic illuminating Carmen and Sasha she looked like herself but different. I knew instantly she was a merage or just a ghost of her former self and my heart lurched slightly. "Nothing can bring back the dead Charlie but it is me or at least my essence." she added seemingly knowing what was in my head. "let go your guilt over my death." She whispered. "tap into every corner of my power and the combined power of everyone who agreed to lend you their strength." she advised me. "They had no choice." I gritted out under the strain of Car
Emmett POVI watched in horror as my mate and sister were now face to face with Carnen and I was helpless. "Charlie." I yelled but she didn't acknowledge me. "I can't link our mate." Titan growled in my head. I made for the circle but King Nicklaus tackled me. "Let me go." I snarled. "The forcefield could kill you now it's not broken anymore. Charlie slipped by with Daphne I don't think you can pass." he reasoned before I could argue. We were hit by a new wave of rogues. "Shit." Danny yelled "they just keep coming." he growled. "I have help." Viola called as more Vampire's joined the fight. "Who are these Vampire's" King Nicklaus growled. "The rebel Kings men." Tristan responded. "But why?" Nicklaus began. "Because Carmen and her witches hurt my daughter." a voice answered. "And its that simple?" Nicklaus looked sceptical. "For me it is." the king responded as Nicklaus nodded and returned to the fight on hand. "Danny, Gideon and I will hold the line around Daphne and Cha
Charlie POV Viola's odd words washed over me. "Did she just say Dad." Soairse asked me in my head as I nodded slightly. "Hello Viola." he replied as around us other Vampire's now fought to keep us inside a safe ring and the Rebal King safe. "I heard you were fighting here with the wolves and Nicklaus Vampire's." he growled. Tristan moved to Viola's side protectively at the sound of the growl. "Back off punny Vampire. The only thing in this world I wouldn't hurt and would lay my life down for is my Princess Viola." he snarled. "Then it appears we share that." Tristan responded as he wrapped a protective arm around her waist. He raised his eyebrow in a suspicious glance. "Where is Sebastian?" he asked as a strange look crossed his face one I could not quite read. "Dead." Tristan snapped as the Vampire Rebel Kings eyes swung to Tristan. "At your hand?" Viola moved slightly between the two glaring males and hung her head. "No father I killed Sebastian he sold me to the witches
Charlie POVHaving eaten and made a crude plan for how this would all go to try get the best tactical advantage.We now had most people gathered on the weird little witches island. It was the perfect scene for a supernatural showdown as it was still bound and hidden by magic meaning it was obscured from human eyes. Adam and Max had returned with the Syphon Twins Jessica and Elizabeth. Having discussed a brief plan with us we finally agreed the best thing to do was bind us all together in the blood spell that would banish Carmen for good. By using all the high ranking shifters and mystical creatures it would be impossible for us to ever be weak again. The witches and the fairies agreed to allow the twins Syphon off a little of their magic too to strenght the spells core and then there was Daphne who held the strange magic from the ancient grimore who would also be happy to lend this new found magic to the twins. This was how we found ourselves all staring at the twins , Madame Lux, Da
Daphne Pov I heard Max leave and I drifted back into a restless sleep. I had no idea why I thought I had come to some place where I could live with the grief and misery but over the last few days a darkness had crept over me. I could hear voices in the distance. "What's wrong with her?" my brother Emmett's voice came through the thin walls of my tent and into the brain fog I was under. "I don't know." my father responded. "I think we should just give her space." Charlie's voice joined the conversation. A small smile played on my lips Charlie was a true Luna and her instincts were strong. "I'll talk to her." she added gently and I knew she was shooing the men away. I heard Charlie unzip my tent slightly before calling me. "Daphne?" She called gently. I didn't move but I knew her wolf sensed I was awake as she crawled into the tent and sat next to me. She silently placed her hand on mine and I felt her Luna touch ease my tense body slightly. "Daphne?" She asked again softly. "What
Max PoV I was delighted to get off site and away from everyone and whilst I was apprehensive about leaving Daphne it was a welcome break from her overwhelming misery that flooded our bond. She barely looked up from the sleeping bag she lay on when I told her I was leaving. I was tempted to tell her to pull herself together but I bit my tongue I didn't mean it I was just wondering would tough love draw out the spunky Daphne I knew. I sighed aloud and Adam who was driving turned to look at me. "Hey kid I know we aren't the closest of friends but we are pack and I am here for you." Adam said catching me slightly off gaurd my confusion must have been etched on my face. "I don't talk about feelings much but that doesn't mean I don't spot them." Adam smirked as I nodded. "Why don't you just talk. I'm all ears but I won't be telling anyone. I'm the best person no one will suspect I know a thing." he reasoned and I opened my mouth to respond when the story of Daphne's choice and our lost b
Emmett PoV We all found Prince Quentin and his fairy companions in the basement room observing the circle quietly when I entered with Charlie he looked up at us. "It's a strong fairy ring." he sighed and my face fell. "The fairies that created this are of as ancient a blood line as my own. Makes sense why Carmen targeted them." he added. "This blood line is going to be tough to over power." one of the other fairies agreed as they stared at the stone circle again with out stretched hands. They appeared to be feeling and pushing against a force we could not see. "And they all perished by Carmen's hand?" Quentin asked me without looking from the ring. "all but one." Emmett replied. "Of course otherwise the ring would break. Carmen has the fairy I assume?" Quentin asked again in a cold direct manner. "No we have her here." I responded. "Then why waste our time Werewolf kill the fairy and the magic dies simple." the older fairy companion snapped as he turned his glare at me and Cha
