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

Before I knew it, we were in a massive outdoor themed store and I was in my own version of heaven. As soon as we walked in, I grabbed Joshua’s hand and jerked him over to the clothes. Joshua laughed, “Whoa babe! You can have anything you want. No need to jerk my arm out of its socket. We have all day, so no need to run around.” I laughed as I blushed, “Sorry. I got excited. I found some t shirts and hoodies that I love. I would love a pink camo hoodie.” He smiled, “Well, let’s get you a couple of them.” He smiled, “I have a feeling we are going to need a cart.” Jessie laughed, “Maybe a couple of them.” I laughed, “I promise, I will do my best to control myself.” When we were finally done with the clothes shopping, we went to the furniture department, and I found the exact coffee table I wanted. It was a huge, tree trunk slab with a tree stump as the base. It had a bear cub carved into the base and a wolf howling carved into the tabletop. I found a pink camo sectional that looked like

It has been a week since I moved to my new home with my mate. I am settling in really well. Joshua and I have gone through the storage lockers and I have had a few surprises. Somehow, my mother had a lot of jewels. I had already found out that my parents were very poor, and her job in the pack was not one that she had access to someone else’s jewels. Joshua and I decided that we need to find out more about my family tree. I was able to give them what little I knew, which was next to nothing. I didn’t even know if my parents were born into that pack. There had to be a reason why Alpha Ben and Luna Kate chose to use me as a slave and not any of the other orphaned children. I have been making friends in the pack too. I actually made friends with the she-wolves who were scowling at me when I got here. Dixie was the one who hated me the most when I initially got here. She confessed that she hated me because she wanted the Co-Beta position. She didn’t really want to be mates with Joshua, sh

Alpha Conner answered, “Can you do chicken fried steak?” I answered, “Sure can. Mashed potatoes, milk gravy, green beans and dinner rolls to go with it?” He replied, “That sounds heavenly, dear. Can we have a peach cobbler for dessert?” I laughed, “I was planning on it. I remember that is your favorite. I will try to get my mate to use his muscles to make some homemade ice cream to go with it.” He laughed, “Tell him what it’s for and I’m sure he won’t have a problem with it.” I laughed, “I will do that. Okay. Can you be here at noon?” He replied, “I can be there I will plan on the meeting lasting a couple hours.” I smiled, “Sounds good. I will now talk to the guys and get them on board. My mate is already on board. He is more than willing to let go of the feud. I think I know how I can get my Alpha to do the same. I do appreciate your willingness to stay open minded.” He chuckled, “The idea that Wednesday could be the last time you cook for me is not an idea that appeals to me. It’s de

I woke up long before dawn Wednesday morning, ready to get started on my peacemaking mission and attempt to facilitate an alliance between the two packs. This was going to be fun. I had never done this before, but I knew how to keep myself and my mate calm. If I could reason with him and his brother to get them to calm down and be open to change, I could surely do the same with Alpha Conner. I know he loves my cooking enough that he wouldn’t want to go without it if he could help it. It also helped that I would have Luna Jessie with me. Food always helps… especially when it’s comfort food. Everything I was making for lunch was considered comfort food. I knew it would help keep the guys calm, but the peach cobbler and ice cream would help keep their brains working for the alliance agreement. I got up so early to be able to bake the cinnamon rolls that I had started the night before. After taking a shower and getting dressed, I went to the kitchen, started preheating the oven and took t

The morning went very well. Jessie and I peeled potatoes and put them on to boil and set up our breading station for the chicken fried steak. At eleven o-clock, I called my mate to come crank the ice cream maker. When he got to our suite, I had already set up the ice cream maker and sat him down in front of it, telling him to tell me when it gets hard to crank. While he was cranking, Jessie and I started making the chicken fried steaks, then I showed her how to whip the mashed potatoes and make milk gravy. After we were done with all that, I noticed that it was time to start the peach cobbler. After the butter was melted in the pan that we were using for it, I explained, “We are just going to mix our mixture of equal parts, self-rising flour, sugar and milk then pour it into the melted butter and add the peaches on top. Then we put it back in the oven for about forty-five minutes, but we will keep an eye on it. We just want it golden brown on top.” She smiled, “That’s really easy.” I n

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, “
