My heart was racing as I closed the door behind me. Ruby was dead, I knew that. My father told me that he saw it himself. I hated that wretched woman. And my mom, Malia, was Ruby’s sister? I leaned my back against the wall and slid down slowly, wrapping my arms around my leg and resting my head on my knees. “Is my entire life a lie?” I asked, more to myself than anyone else.

I felt Lasaya stir within but she was just as confused as I was and decided to remain at the back of my mind to let me figure out everything on my own. I held out one of my hands and opened it with my palm facing forward. I focused on the center of my hand and tried to push runic magic through the way Mobius had tried to teach me years ago. Nothing happened. I wasn’t surprised. I had never been able to use magic before. Only one of my siblings had the ability.

I sighed and pulled myself up from the floor and made my way toward my office. There was only one way I was going to get the answers that I needed. I sat d

Hi guys. I want to apologize for the lengthy absence. I went though a really rough patch in my life. Let's just say that my real life "Grizz" preferred the company of other she wolves. It's taken some time for me to get over things and put the past behind me but I am doing better now and trying to get back into writing. It was hard for me to focus on the book when he was one of my biggest supporters and encouraged my writing a lot. But in the end this story is for me and I can encourage myself. Going forward I will be changing the name of Alpha Gabriel's wolf, he will now be known as Ryu. I will make the adjustments in my previously written chapters soon. Remember to #vote for me if you're still reading and thank you for sticking with me and Ume

    Ume Adair, the eldest of the eight Adair children of the Lunarflare pack, was me. I grew up with the best parents, Gabriel and Malia Adair, the Alpha and Luna of my pack. Malia isn’t my birth mother; she is my father’s true mate and has raised me since I was three years old. My birth mother, dad's first wife and chosen mate, was a traitor and exiled from the pack after my younger brother's birth. We heard she was killed by rogues shortly after the fact. I didn’t care then, and I don’t care now. Malia raised me as her daughter and always treated me as if I belonged to her always. Growing up it was my duty to become the next Alpha on the Lunarflare pack if something happened to my father or when he decided to retire. I trained hard; we all did. My father made sure all his children had Alpha training. We all knew how to run this pack just like he did, just in case. Mom always wanted to be prepared because you never knew what was going to happen, especially with werewolves. But I’m the o

    My wolf had been quiet in my head the entire flight, everyone was quiet, and it was strange. I seemed to have more time to think, but then I just ended up wasting that time wondering why no one was talking. I hate the silence, so I was ecstatic when our plan finally landed but what I didn’t prepare for was it being this cold. When I stepped off the plane, I was hit by the bitter northern wind. It was like nothing I'd ever felt before. There was fresh snow on the ground and a lot of it, something I had never seen before. It occasionally snowed back home but it was a light dusting, maybe half an inch, but nothing like this. My wolf, Lasaya, was running laps around my head wanting to get out and go for a run. I glanced back at my father, shivering, he just smirked at me and draped his arm around my shoulder. “I know, Grizz wants to run too.” Grizz was my father’s wolf, a massive beautiful gray wolf, the biggest I’ve ever seen. I smiled at my father warmly, hoping that it would give a li

    My eyes open and I take a breath. I hadn't realized I had been holding it. For a moment, I thought my biggest fear came true, but then I realized the powerful voice that I heard came from my Beta, Kreon, who was standing next to me. My eyes quickly scanned the room, looking into all the faces. It was still so quiet inside as I looked back over at my Beta and followed his gaze to the front of the room. That's when I noticed Jessy staring right back at him. I was a little to myself trying to hide it from everyone else in the room. Jessy was a good match for Kreon, but I feared that I might lose my Beta, or our trip just got a little more crowded. I laughed, thinking to myself, I wouldn't really mind Jessy tagging along, she was a really nice girl.The silence in the room was quickly broken by hearty laughter coming from the front of the table, Alpha John, his blue eyes gazing down at my beta. He genuinely seemed happy. "It's not every day that your little sister finds her mate." His voi

  • The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume   The Drive

    The sunrise from my window of the Crescent Winds pack house was spectacular. The morning went by rather smoothly. We had breakfast with the Alpha and Luna and said our goodbyes. Jessy decided to relocate to Lunarflare with Kreon, which made me happy, but we had to wait for her to pack, so we were delayed by an hour or so before we could depart. Luckily, the snow had stopped but the blanket that had fallen last night still lay untouched on the earth. My father had decided to drive when we left and I was thankful for that. I could set up front with him and now up against the two love birds in the back, though I did feel a little sorry for Liam. Once we loaded up our SUV, we said another round of goodbyes. Jessy was kind of sad about leaving her home. I understood why, of course. Finally, we were on the road. I was a bit nervous at first, wondering if my father could even drive in the snow, but he was doing well so far. I peered out the window. I knew that we had a long road ahead of u

    I fell asleep shortly after my bath. I didn’t even remember lying down on the bed, I was woken by a knock on the door. “One moment.” My voice was heavy and groggy. I set up on the bed and rubbed my eyes. “Who is it?” I asked, remembering where I was. “It’s Ukina, I am here to help you get ready for the event.” The small voice barely reached my ears, if I was a regular human I doubt I would even have heard her.I straightened up on the bed slightly. “Come in.” I yawned. I looked over at the door as it opened just enough for Ukina to enter. She was carrying a dress bag and a very large makeup box. I shook my head a little at myself seeing it. She was very small and her hands were full.She set everything up on the vanity across from the bed. “I’ll just be a moment.” She said, then walked out of the bedroom, leaving the door open. After just a couple of minutes, she came back in with a silver tray that had a tea set on it. It was really pretty. “Don’t worry, It’s coffee.” She said, blus

    “Run, Ume Run!” Lasaya was shouting at me, but she wasn’t in my head, she was running beside me. It was dark, we were in the woods but there was nothing familiar about them. My legs were aching, I was gasping for air but Lasaya was still screaming for me to run. “I can’t, Lasaya.” I gasped, falling to my knees. Lasaya stopped and leaned down, putting her snout in my face and licking my cheek.“Get up, Ume, we have to get out of here.” She barked. I pushed myself up to my feet, taking a look behind me. I didn’t see anything but something felt off. I was scared out of my mind. Then I heard rustling from the bushes. “Go Ume.” Lasaya shouted, then took off. I started running behind her, ignoring my body telling me to stop. I needed to rest, I needed a drink, but I couldn’t stop.I followed Ume into a clearing with a beautiful lake. She came to a stop and I stood beside her, both of us looking into the forest we had just escaped from. “Now we have to fight.” he said. I nodded to her, tryi

    Jessy and I enter a dark room through the double doors we were left at. She reached around the wall and clicked on a light. I gasped a little as I looked around. “Is this his room?” I asked in disbelief. Why would this man bring me to his room? I was enraged, though Lasaya, the whore, seemed excited. I did my best at shutting her out.The room was dark, dark walls, dark curtains that blocked out the sun. A huge king-sized bed with a black comforter and sheets, it was unmade and looked slept in. The pillows and sheets were all disarrayed. There was a closet that was opened and clothes thrown everywhere around the room except for the empty laundry basket where they belonged. There was also a fireplace that looked to be electric with no fire going, and another door which I assumed led to a bathroom.I walked to the window and pulled open the dark curtains. The sun had already set so it didn’t bring much light in, but I was surprised to find that what I assumed to be a window was a double

    I slammed the door to Alpha Jackson’s room behind me with a little smirk. I was confident that none of his warriors would be able to beat Liam in a fair fight. Then something hit me… Would the fight be fair? I couldn’t trust any of these wolves to fight fair. “I’m sorry Liam.” I quickly mind linked my friend.“Don’t sweat it, Ume. I’ve trained with the best warriors on earth. I train our warriors. I'm not worried about any of these wanna-be chads here.” I could hear the confidence in him and it made me feel a little better about tomorrow.“I just hope it’s a fair fight.” I told him.“Stop worrying, I can handle myself. Get some sleep”. I felt him cut the link and my mind went quiet. I considered talking to Lasaya but she would just be mad at me for my decisions.Before I could stop myself, Lasaya was at the front of my mind. “Please Ume, let me at least just meet his wolf?” She was pleading. It hurt me to feel her sadness. I questioned all my decisions as she spoke. “Even if we have t

    Time. It seemed to pass so slowly the last four months. Lyrie healed quickly, then my sisters returned to the Lunarflare pack with my mother. My dad and brothers haven’t been home. Jackson and the warriors from the Silver Adder pack came and went to aid my father in searching for my sister, Lily. I was just doing my best at helping the Adders recover from the loss we faced from the battle against the vampires. That and taking care of Allison. Allison was a cute little girl with a lot of spunk. She had light blonde hair and pale blue eyes and a cute line of freckles across the bridge of her nose. If Jackson and I took her out into the human world, she would probably pass as our own. I found out that her father was a pack warrior who was killed by a rogue attack shortly after Allison was born, and her mother was an omega who worked in the kitchen with Margo. She had no other family so I just kind of took her in. I never thought my first child would be the one that I took in. Jackson d

    Mobius came to a stop near the daycare. The flames were rather large. “Mobi!” I yelled, drawing the bear's attention. “We need to get this fire put out.” He nodded and stood on his hindlegs. I watched as his white fur began to glow a faint blue aura. The temperature around us quickly dropped to a point where I could see my breath. The blue aura began to intensify. The moisture in the air around his fur started to freeze. In a loud roar, the frozen moisture shot from around his fur and coated the flames in a thick layer of frost, dousing the flames. In just a few minutes, all that was left was sizzling and smoke and a whole lot of frost.I watched in awe of the white bear’s power. It was the first time I'd ever seen it in action. After the fire was gone, Mobius was forced to shift back into his human form. After taking a moment to regain himself, he stood tall and helped me look through the ruins of the daycare. “Two bodies, Luna.” I heard his voice. I closed my eyes as sadness wash

    “What does he mean? They took Lilly?” Sage was frantic. The phone slipped from my hand as my eyes shifted over toward Sage. “Ume, who took Lilly?” She asked again. I could hear the panic in her voice. I took a step closer toward her and wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into a tight embrace. Sage rested her head on my shoulder and started to weep. “Ume, what are we going to do?” she asked helplessly. I squeezed her tighter and fought back the tears that were trying to break through. “We have to take care of Lyrie, that’s what dad asked.” I tried to soothe my sister. “It will be okay, dad will find her. He always takes care of us.” I pulled her away and smiled at her. Sage nodded slightly at me, still crying. “We need to go home, Ume.” She said through her tears, tugging on the collar of my shirt. “No Sage.” I tried to soothe her by rubbing her dark hair. “They have an army at home, Jackson and all of our warriors are on their way to help our family.” I said to her.

    Lola glanced over at me and, without even being able to communicate with my sister and her wolf, we instinctively knew what to do. Lasaya moved and positioned us behind Lola and Lyrie. I could trust knowing my sister had my back and I had hers. I also knew these vampires were here for us and I would be damned if anyone hurt my little sisters. I knew Sage was safe with Vael and Kaylin, but Lyrie would fight. I knew from the moment we heard the screaming that she was ready to go. Our attacks were precise, she would lunge, then I would after I felt her safely behind me. I never turned to look at her as long as I could feel her. That was all I needed. She may have only been a child herself, but she was an Alpha and trained by the best. Ezekiel was also near. I watched as he made short work of a few vampires as he skidded across the field. I saw another dart toward me from the woods out of the corner of my eye and wasted no time dispatching him. “Ezekiel.” I could hear Lasaya linking to

    “Luna! Do you know that Miss Lyrie is the queen of all werewolves?” I looked down at the little pup pulling on my leg with the biggest of smiles on her face. I smiled back at her before reaching down and lifting her into my arms.“Is that so?” I asked, tickling the little girl a little, causing her to giggle.She nodded and pointed toward my blonde sister who was now sitting in a circle of children and reading them a book. “Yes, see, there she is now. Is she your sister? Does that mean you’re a queen too?” She asked excitedly.I put her back on the ground and led her to Lyrie’s reading circle. She took a seat and looked at my little sister in awe. “Alright little ones, I need to borrow your queen for a few moments.” Lyrie looked up at me and smiled, but the children let out a grown.Lyrie then smiled at the children. “It’s alright my love, I will come read to you again later.

    I got up from the table in haste to follow Vael out of the room. I almost ran into him as I walked out the door. As if he knew my plan, he had waited on me. I looked at him for a moment, it was nice seeing the doctor again. He was only a couple of inches taller than me, he had light blonde hair slicked back against his head with stubble on his face. Vael wore a white lab coat and a device that he invented that covered his left eye, almost like a monocle. I’d never asked what it was for, he’s had it since I’ve known him. I smiled at him but he didn’t return the favor, which I didn’t expect. Instead, he lifted his hand and grabbed my hair. He yanked my hair all over my head and twisted my head around before letting it go. “Where is the hairpin that your sister gave you, Alpha?” He asked in an annoyed voice. I blushed a little. “It’s in my bathroom, on the sink. It didn’t really match….” He held his hand up in my face to stop me from talking, and it worked. “I don’t care what it mat

    I was still a little shocked by everything. I got bit by a vampire, then I slept for two weeks, my sisters were here, I missed Halloween and Jackson marked me. I looked in my mirror and lifted my fingers to touch the crescent moon-shaped mark that Jackson left on my neck and smiled. I shook my head, bringing myself back to my senses. He was waiting for me to go to the Beta meeting.I glanced in the mirror one last time before I headed out of my room and found Jackson at the other end of the hall. He smirked at me and took my hand. “You ready babe?” He asked and I nodded with a smile. I didn’t know how I could be smiling this much after everything. I stood on the tips of my toes and kissed my mate on the cheek before we headed down stairs to the beta floor. It looked a lot like the Alpha’s floor except there was a room in the middle with double doors that opened into a big meeting room.There was a long table in the middle with chairs all around it. It was darkly decorated and there w

    I was still sad about missing Halloween. I listened to Jackson recount telling me about what happened during Halloween as I flipped through the photos on my phone. It looked like they all had so much fun. I looked up at Jackson and ran my fingers through his hair. I wish he had stayed longer and actually enjoyed himself, but I don’t think I would be able to either if I was in his position.Jackson lifted me up and set me on top of his desk. He wrapped his arms around my waist and looked up at me with sad blue eyes. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you woke up. Vael said it was important to Sage’s spell that it was just her and Lyrie there.” He explained.I leaned down and kissed his forehead. I felt his hands move to my bare thighs, since I was only put on a purple sundress after my shower, no shoes and a simple ponytail. I really wanted to see him and didn’t want to bother doing anything else. “It’s okay. We are together now.” I smiled at him. Jackson laid his head against my thigh an
