“We’re here.” I opened my eyes at the sound of Jackson’s voice. I somehow managed to move in my sleep and was all over him. My head was on his chest, my legs tossed over his lap and my arms around his shoulders. I raised my head up quickly and looked out the window. The car was still moving but I could see the city. The buildings were tall and wonderful, there were people everywhere, walking down the street, yapping on phones, going in and out of shops. I could smell some food cooking from a nearby restaurant and it smelt amazing. We passed by a couple of buildings with guitar music drifting into the street and people were dancing in cowboy hats.In a matter of seconds, I was in Jackson’s lap with my face pressed against the window just taking in all the sights. Liam made a few more turns and I saw the mall. The building was huge. I had never seen a building take up that much ground before. The parking lot was packed as well, with shoppers coming and going. It took Liam a little whil
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume 18
“You look perfect.” I smiled at Ayla as she stood in front of a mirror looking at herself in her beautiful blue dress. Her blonde hair was pulled back and curled just enough for them to bounce around her chin. “Jackson and I got you something.” I said and handed her the small wrapped box that Jackson and I got from the witch shop. Ayla, with shaking hands, took the box and smiled. Jackson looked in the door, he had been waiting outside while we were getting ready. “Thank you, I didn’t expect anyone to get me a gift.” She said, starting to open the paper on the box. “Of course, I was going to get something for my baby sister,” Jackson said as he took a step into the room and leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest. “Go on, open in.” He encouraged her. She smiled and opened the box after removing the paper. Her eyes widened when she saw the necklace with the clear jewel in the center. “It’s beautiful,” she exclaimed. She took the necklace out and handed it to me
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume The Full Moon
The rest of the party went smoothly. Liam and Ayla vanished shortly after Liam returned to the party. I was happy for them. I already loved Ayla like my own sister and Liam and I have been friends all of our lives. Jensen was nowhere to be found, which was probably a good thing for now, because I was unsure of what Jackson might do to him, let alone Liam. Today was another busy day at the pack house. Since I had overslept, I was alone in the dining room picking at the food Margo had brought me. I was more amused by watching Jen and Margo rushing people around and barking orders, then I was hungry. I missed my mom and, in some ways, watching these two women reminded me of her. Tonight was the full moon so, of course, I was missing my family more today than ever. I was also really worried about Sage. Since she isn’t a werewolf, she isn’t able to communicate with our pack when they are shifted. My father always carried her and the Beta’s daughter always stayed in human form to keep her
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume The Room
It had been a long night. I didn’t want anything else but to shower and crawl into my bed once the party was over. I helped Ayla move her things to the Gamma’s quarters so that she could stay with Liam easily and called my father afterwards to check how their pack run went. I was happy to hear that it went well. I was startled awake at some point during the night. I don’t know if I heard something or if I was having a dream, but I woke up with Lasaya on alert. I crawled out of my bed. I knew that if there had been an attack, that the warriors on patrol would have alerted someone and, even though I didn’t have the ability to mind link, there would have been more noise in the house by now. I moved to my door and opened it. When I looked down the hall, I noticed the door to the Luna’s chamber was slightly ajar. I quietly slipped out of my room and started making my way toward the opened door when Jackson emerged. He looked at me with a shocked expression as he stood in the doorway.
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume Fates Desire
It was a little chilly when we got back to Jackson’s room. I wasted no time crawling under his thick dark blankets and cuddling up next to his warm body. I felt instantly comforted when he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close. Jackson kissed my forehead, causing me to look up at him. He looked a little nervous, so I kissed his nose and smiled when he did. “I didn’t know I was a royal Lycan.” He said, keeping his gaze on me. He signed but I continued to listen to him. I was interested in learning anything and everything that I could about his past. “I was young, I remember my parents putting me to bed.” He started, then tried pulling me closer. I brushed his hair, gently, with my fingertips. “My mom came and woke me up. She was holding Ayla, she was just a couple weeks old.” He continued, taking a deep breath. “My mom put this backpack on me, and I remember complaining because of how heavy it was.” Jackson started trailing his finge
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume No Laughing Matter
Waking up in Jackson’s arms was somehow different this morning than it had been the last time I slept next to him. Since I marked him, I have been able to sense his emotions better than before. He seemed to be content as he slept next to me, then a little annoyed as he started to stir, which made me laugh. “Good morning, Alpha.” I whispered as I lifted my head to kiss his cheek. He answered by pulling his arms tightly around me and burying his face in the crook of my neck. I laughed a little and swatted him away. “Get up, we have a pack to run and it’s almost ten,” I urged. He rolled over to his back and groaned with his arm over his eyes. “Don’t make me open the curtains.” I threatened as I set up and looked down at the man sleeping next to me. He groaned again. “Not the curtains.” His voice was husky and he still sounded very sleepy. I leaned over him and placed both my hands on his cheeks. This caused him to move his arm, open his eyes and look at me. “Good morning, Luna.” He gr
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume Body Count
I followed Liam and Ayla to the pack hospital. It wasn’t very big, but since werewolves healed quickly, the hospitals didn’t get much use, except if you had a witch doctor like Lunaflare pack did.Once we were inside, Abby led us to a back room where the morgue was. There were two rows of three beds all held bodies covered with sheets. “As I said before, Luna, I’ve checked over the bodies and found no marks of nesting.” She said, Her voice was friendly and welcoming. I tilted my head to the side, then looked back over at her. “It makes no sense. Rogue vampires don’t behave in this manner. I pulled the sheet back on the first vampire and Abby handed me a small flashlight. Ayla gagged a little and stepped out of the room. Abby pulled the entire sheet off her and I started looking over the body and saw nothing. “I don’t get it, I really don’t.” I said, then looked back over at Abby, who was still standing beside me.“Nor do I, Luna, it does seem off.” She added.I turned back to the bo
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume The Future of the Adder
A couple of weeks have passed since we discovered the nest markings and it was getting closer to Halloween. The Silver Adder pack had been getting attacked by these vampires every night. Sometimes it was just one and other nights it would be up to ten. They were testing our borders, or that's what we all assumed.Nothing got through. Jackon had tripled the night guard, which left us weak in the daylight hours. Vampires can’t be out in the sunlight, but I was still nervous. Jackson finally agreed to let me join the day patrol. He assumed, since it was vampires, that I would be safe during daylight hours. Today, however, I won’t be going out. I had to bless newborns. I was nervous. It wasn’t a real blessing, it was just the Luna accepting new wolves into the pack. I had always thought it was a bit ridiculous. If a pup was born into a pack, then of course, it would automatically be a member. But that was how the show went, and new mothers really liked the tradition. I’ve seen my mother

The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume Mom
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
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume Secrets of the Dead
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
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume The Frost
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
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume Another Storm
“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. Sage l
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume A Perfect Distraction
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
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume The Blonde Alpha
“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. Your Luna needs me.” Lyrie stood and managed to get out of the group of children and made her way over to wher
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume Back on Track
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
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume All About the Beta's
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
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume Catching Up
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
