As we finished eating, I was absolutely stuffed. I sat back in my chair, putting my hands on my belly, “I’m so full. I hope a walk is in our near future.” He laughed, “We will have a little bit of a walk after we leave here. We can make it a long walk, if you want that. This town has a beautiful state park.” I smiled, “I would love that.” We sat there just enjoying each other’s company while we finished our drinks. When he paid for our meal, he introduced me to the owner of the restaurant and she smiled sweetly at me, “Welcome to town. I hope you like it here.” I smiled, “I’m sure I will. I’m already in love with Main Street.” She smiled, “There are a lot of really cute shops here. You should go next door for clothes. She has a lot of adorable clothes at reasonable prices” I smiled, “I will do that. I need some new clothes. Thanks.” Joshua put his arm around my waist and led me out of the restaurant, “I love how you aren’t afraid to speak with anyone.” I shrugged, “I will always try. I

When we knocked on the door to the Alpha’s suite, Jessie pulled open the door so fast, it caused a gust of wind to blow our hair back. I laughed out loud as she giggled, “I’m so happy you’re here! I have a super cute outfit for you to wear tonight!” She disconnected my hand from Joshua’s and pulled me into the suite. I laughed out loud as I looked back at my mate and saw him waving at me and shaking his head. As we ran to her room, I was laughing hard when walked through her bedroom door revealing a comfortable scene. To the right was a large couch with bookshelves on either side. To the left was a wall of doors. Two doors led to closets and another led to a restroom. Straight ahead was a king size bed, a bedside table on either side with a lamp on top of each. I sat on the couch as she asked, “Do you like wearing dresses?” I nodded, “I do. Sometimes it’s hard to find jeans that fit. I wasn’t allowed to eat every day.” I lifted my sundress and she gasped as she saw how skinny I was an

When we got to the dining hall, we sat at the head table and omegas came and took our orders. I asked Joshua, “How many cooks do you have?” He shrugged, “Do you want to go see?” I nodded, “I would like that.” I stood up and waited for Joshua to stand. We went to the kitchen and I smiled when I saw the omegas who were in there. They were all joking around, but still working hard. One omega stopped and looked our way, “Beta! How can we help you?” He smiled, “I wanted to introduce you all to my mate, Isabel. She is your Co-Beta. She used to have to cook for her whole pack by herself. She was one of you.” I smiled, “I will always be one of you. I will never be able to forget what I went through; therefore, I will never see myself as more than you.” One lady smiled, “Thank you, Co-Beta. We appreciate that a lot.” Joshua led me back to our table. I stopped suddenly when I saw Gabrielle sniffing the air and looking around. I grabbed Joshua’s arm, “Look at Gabrielle!” He smiled, “Looks like S

Before I knew it, I was opening my eyes before dawn, as usual. I was wide awake, so I tried to sit up, but I had an iron band around my waist. I chuckled as I moved his arm from around me. I went to the bathroom and braided my hair so that I could take a shower without getting my hair wet. I got in the shower and dried off, then put my robe on to go to the closet. I put on the dress I bought yesterday, then a pair of sandals. I went to the kitchen and made biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast, then made a plate for my mate and put it on a tray with a cup of coffee and took it to the bedroom. He woke up when he smelled breakfast, “Mmm that smells so good.” I put the tray over his lap and I asked, “What else can I get for you, love?” He asked, “Can I have another biscuit?” I smiled, “Be right back.” I jogged into the kitchen and grabbed another biscuit. I took it to him and sat it on his plate. I asked, “What do you think?” He moaned as he swallowed the bite in his mouth, “This is s

Luna Jessie followed me to our suite to see if Alpha Matthew was still where she left him. When we walked in the door, we were met with one of the funniest sights I have ever seen. Joshua was laying on the couch, on his back, holding the remote as far as he could away from his brother, who was on top of Joshua, trying to get at it. Joshua had his feet against his brother’s chest to keep him away from it. I laughed, “You do know that he could easily break your ankles right now if he wanted that remote bad enough.” I was laughing so hard my stomach was hurting and Luna Jessie was just standing next to me, shaking her head, “Give them a day off work together and they revert back to being boys.” I laughed even harder and had to sit down on a nearby chair. By this time, everyone in the room was looking at me and laughing. I asked, “What’s so funny about me?” Joshua laughed, “You have the best laugh ever!” I smiled, “Okay.” I asked, “Would you care to tell me why you two were fighting over

Joshua’s POV When my mate showed me her scars, I was so livid, I let out a growl louder than I ever have before. She tried to calm me, but there was no putting out the fire that raged behind my eyes. My wolf started howling and growling, “Mate hurt! Kill Alpha and Luna! I want their heads!” I heard a knock at the door, but I couldn’t move at that moment. I immediately got on the phone. When Alpha Ben answered on the second ring, he sounded cocky, “Alpha Matthew, are you tired of my slave’s whining?” I was even more livid than I was before he answered. Tate’s voice overlapped with mine, “Alpha Ben, this is Beta Joshua with Cold Springs Pack. I am on my way to rip your head off and your mate will be next.” I disconnected the call and turned to my mate, “Love, I have to do this. I will be back as soon as I can.” She tried to stop me, but she knew there was no way she could do it. I saw a tear in her eyes, but she knew I had to do it. I started to leave when my brother stopped me, “Dude,

Isabel POV When Joshua got out of the shower, he was looking so good in just his sweatpants that hung low on his hips. When I finally looked at his face, he grinned, “Do you like what you see, love?” I blushed and waved him off, “The homemade bread is still warm. Come and have a slice.” He sat down at the island and I started to cut a slice and he had an indiscernible look. I furrowed my brows and he asked, “Can I have the other end piece?” I laughed, “Your brother said that you would do that.” He laughed, “The end pieces are the best when it’s warm.” I laughed as I shook my head, “You’re too funny.” I checked the oven and pulled out a pan, and took the lid off the pot of mashed potatoes that I had made. When I took the lid off the pan from the oven, the smell filled my kitchen and my mate’s stomach growled loudly. I asked, “You must have worked up an appetite.” He shrugged, “They weren’t as much of a challenge as I thought they would be.” I laughed, “I didn’t think they would be. Any

I woke the next morning to a steel band around my middle and a very new soreness between my thighs. As I stretched, I remembered the moment my mate marked me. He had just moved me on top and bounced me up and down on his hardness. He sat up while I was in sheer ecstasy and he kissed down my neck when I suddenly felt his canines elongate and the initial sting of a bite, then pure euphoria washed over me so hard that I almost felt my eyes cross. I started kissing down his neck, until I found the spot I wanted to mark. I felt my canines elongate and I bit down. I felt the mate bond snap into place and I was suddenly able to feel everything my mate was feeling. I licked the bite to seal it and I suddenly felt him twitch inside me as he filled me completely. We continued like that throughout the night. I think I finally got to sleep three hours ago. I crawled out from under his arm and went to the bathroom. When I was done, I started the shower and looked in the mirror while the water warm

It has now been twenty years since that awful day. We have had so much happen since then. Kenny took his rightful place as Alpha of the Red Moon Pack when he was eighteen and Kyle took his place as Beta of Cold Springs pack at the same age. Kyle met his mate, Kelly, when an Alpha from another pack brought his family to visit the pack. This is common practice when an alpha wants his daughter to find her mate. They had a boy and a girl and we are so happy to be grandparents! Kenny hasn’t found his mate yet, but I’m sure he will. He is about to go overseas for a summit with a wolf pack in Russia. There is really no point in an alliance with that pack, because it would serve no purpose. We wouldn’t be able to provide aide in a timely manner and we wouldn’t be able to invest to be able to see where the money is going. I have a feeling he is just going to see if his mate is there and I am very happy he’s at least trying to look. Andrew stepped back from his duties as Co-Alpha and built a h

Five years later, I had just given birth to my sixth, and final, child. My son, Ace, may be the youngest, but he is an Alpha through and through. He was a huge baby, weighing fourteen pounds, six ounces and he was twenty-four inches long. It seemed like giving birth to him took forever! He’s a sweet boy, but very impatient. He does love having his butt pounded and being rocked roughly though… just like his brothers and sisters. He started sleeping through the night at one week old and nearly scared me to death. I got no sleep that first time. I was up every hour, checking to make sure he was still breathing and listening to his heartbeat. He has been doing everything earlier than his brothers and sisters. He’s the chubbiest little boy I have ever seen and I giggle each time I see him laugh. Yes, he is one month old and already laughing. I mean laughing so hard his fat rolls jiggle and I love every second I get to see him do it. So do all of my other children. Kenny and Kyle are in sch

The next morning, Joshua and I went to the doctor and found out that I am only one month pregnant, so there is plenty of time. It also looked like there was only one this time, so I was grateful for that. When we left the clinic, Joshua took me to his car, “Get in. I need to show you something.” I got in the car and I giggled as I watched my big, burly mate nearly skip to the driver’s side of our car. When he got in and started the car, he was almost giddy as he started driving. I laughed, “You are acting like a kid with a huge present in front of him.” He laughed, “I can’t wait for you to see this.” We were only on the road for ten minutes and we pulled into the driveway of a house that looked exactly like the house we had designed. It had a huge, fenced-in yard and the house had a Victorian design with lots of windows, curves, and a beautiful porch with a porch swing. I smiled, “This is really pretty. It looks like the house we designed for our family.” He smiled, “Because it is the

Six months later, my little girl was already starting to learn sign language from one of the pack members in Cold Springs Pack. Her name was Lindsay, and she recently moved to the pack in order to accept a teaching position at the new school. When she heard that Jessica was an oracle, she offered to teach her sign language so she could have the ability to communicate her visions. I paid Lindsay extra for the lessons, because she was teaching me, Luna Jessie and our mates at the same time. That extra ability to communicate was invaluable for all of us. We didn’t expect our boys to be so comical about it though. Once in a while, Kenny would try to get Jessica going by standing between me and Jessica while she tried to sign to me for something. I would shake my head at him, chuckling, while he tried to sign back to her, making random movements with his hands. She would get so frustrated she would start yelling, “MA!” I laughed out loud and asked, “What do you need, sweetie? Is brother ma

Joshua and I slept like rocks that night. The next morning, I had to laugh. Joshua asked, “What’s so funny?” I laughed, “I can remember a time when a night away from the kids caused us to get horny as hell. Now we get sleepy.” He laughed, “I guess we need more than one night in a row. One night to catch up on sleep the next night to catch up on each other.” I smiled, “I like that idea. We will have to remember that for next time.” He smiled, “I think we need a weekend away at the enchanted cabin. Just the two of us.” I smiled as I felt his arms snake around me and a kiss on the back of my neck, “I think we need to make that happen soon. For now, we need to go find out what Jada found out.” He reluctantly agreed, “Sometimes, responsible parenting is the biggest cock-blocker.” I sighed, “But it’s worth it. Don’t even try to say different.” He chuckled, “You’re right. These kids are our biggest blessings. I would just really like to try for more.” I laughed, “We can do that any night, aft

That evening, we were in the dining room, eating dinner with all of Red Moon Pack. After everyone was done eating, I stood up and waited for the room to quiet. When I had everyone’s attention, I spoke up, “Red Moon Pack, I’m so happy to be back with all of you and so is my family. As you all know, our daughter was born. Her name is Jessica Marie. I have something to tell you about her that I need to keep within the pack. She is an oracle. I need all of you to keep this information about her in the pack. If word got out, it would set a target on her and our pack. There are still alphas who would use her abilities for nefarious purposes. Are we all in agreement with that?” I heard the whole pack agree, “Yes, alpha!” I continued, “Now, your alpha heir would like to make an announcement, then I will clarify it.” I watched as Matthew and Joshua stood Kenny and Douglas on the table. Kenny put his arm over Douglas’ shoulder and puffed out his chest. He yelled, “My beta, Douglath!” Everyone l

Two months later, Cold Springs Pack was really starting to transform. The school buildings, the rec center and the Jo-Ann Fabrics store were all being built at the same time. The roads leading to each had been created and parking lots for each had been cleared. I had the franchise agreement signed within a week, because I was able to pay all franchise fees for a term of ten years up-front. When they had that much money offered to them, they couldn’t refuse. Jessica started sleeping all night at one month old and Joshua and I couldn’t have been happier about it. I sometimes wondered if she had already started having visions, because she was waking up so much more than our boys did. There was no way to tell if she was. Joshua and I decided that we needed to go down to Red Moon Pack for a couple of days, just to introduce her and have our pack meeting about her. I know that since we already had two oracles in the pack, it won’t be a big issue for Red Moon to keep her abilities to themsel

Joshua’s back stiffened instantly so I started rubbing comforting circles on his back to help him chill out before he answered. Joshua linked, “Thank you, love. I needed that.” Then he turned to the man and replied, “A gifted wolf of any kind makes a pack much stronger. They are highly sought after by alphas with nefarious intent. An oracle has the ability to see into the future from a very early age. Our daughter will be training at Red Moon Pack with a couple of my mate’s cousins to learn how to deal with the things she sees and what to do with them.” The man lowered his gaze, “I’m so sorry, Beta Joshua. I didn’t mean to sound bitter, but Alpha said he would take questions after the meeting, but with all the other excitement, he probably just forgot. Your secret is safe with me. Co-Beta, thank you for all you are going to do for our pack. I think they are all really good ideas.” I smiled, “You’re very welcome. I want to see our pack happy and flourishing.” Joshua replied, “You’re fin

One week later, Alpha Matthew called a mandatory pack meeting for all pack members. Joshua and I had decided to eat dinner in the dining room with our children this evening, so that we could make it to the meeting. We were bombarded with pack members constantly walking up to us and gushing over all of our kids. Joshua waited until no one else was around us and leaned into me, “This is what happens when we don’t eat with the pack regularly.” I sighed, “Okay. I get it. Should we eat down here a couple nights a week?” He replied, “That might not be a bad idea. It may get to be a bit much for you to cook after you work in your office all day. Especially with these three, if you aren’t going to use the daycare.” I sighed, “I want all of our kids to learn by example. They will learn what a co-beta does and what a beta does by watching us. I think that’s really important. I would also like our girls to spend time watching Jessie too. Some of our girls may end up being luna.” Josh laughed, “
