My mate laughed as he yelled, “Come on in.” Luna Jessie barreled into the room and ran to my mate’s side of the bed, “Izzy! Oh, my Goddess! I’m so happy you’re awake now! You have no idea how things were while you were out. We have had so many calls from Alphas of other packs wondering about your condition and wanting to make alliances with our pack. It has been crazy! Alpha Conner has been wanting to come and see you and the Alpha of the Lycan pack wants to meet you.” I just sat there, with my jaw dropped, while she kept talking. When she finally finished, all I could say was, “Wow. I didn’t know I was that popular.” She laughed, “Hon, you killed a Lycan! Your tiny little body killed a woman who was nearly twice your size! And that woman was determined to kill you.” I wanted to laugh at her dramatics, but I was trying not to. I’m sure that caused me to have a strange look on my face because Jessie suddenly stopped and put both hands on my arm, “Oh, goodness! Are you hurting? Am I tal

I woke up to Doctor Simmons standing over me and my mate looking down at me with deep concern. I asked, “So how are my x-rays doctor?” He replied, “I was just telling the Beta that your ribs are healed, mostly. Enough that you could go home if you can keep from doing anything strenuous and not pick up anything over five pounds.” I asked, “Five pounds? That will not be easy, but I can do that. I’m sure my mate will be watching over me to make sure I don’t.” Joshua was sitting next to me, nodding to the doctor. Doctor Simmons laughed, “Okay, let’s go ahead and discharge you to home then. I’m sure you will have plenty of help in everything you need to do.” Josh smiled, “She will. Thanks.” With another promise to the doctor to keep my five-pound weight restriction in mind with everything I do, I was able to walk out of the hospital. When we got to the pack house, I was greeted by tons of pack members with well wishes. I was approached by a little girl, “Hi Co-Beta. Are you feeling okay?”

The next morning, I woke up to an empty bed. It was still dark, but my mate was gone. I sat up and looked around, but I couldn’t see or hear anyone. I walked out of the bedroom and looked around the suite. I found him in the kitchen, making breakfast. I smiled, “That’s my job, love.” He laughed, “I know, but you need your sleep.” I sighed, “Baby, I just spent two weeks in a hospital bed. I really don’t want to spend so much time in bed. I would like to take a shower before you leave though… if you don’t mind.” He smiled, “I purposely waited to take my shower for that exact reason. I will never be accused of missing the chance to shower with my mate.” I laughed and groaned and he cringed, “Still pretty sore?” I held my ribs and nodded. He sighed, “I’m sorry love. Why don’t you go sit on the couch. I will bring a cup of coffee to you.” I walked to the living room and sat on the couch while Josh poured a cup of coffee for me and followed me into the living room. He sat it on the end table

Two weeks after I got out of the hospital, Joshua took me back to see Doctor Simmons. We were immediately escorted to x-ray and I noticed that my ribs felt better as I laid on the hard table. After that was done, Connie led us to an exam room. As she asked me the required questions and took my vitals, she asked, “How are you feeling?” I shrugged, “I seem to feel better. I’m not nearly as sore as I was when I discharged from the hospital.” She smiled, “That’s great news.” I grinned, “I met a really sweet little girl the day I got out of the hospital.” She blushed, “Yeah, Nyx told me all about it. I’m sorry she bothered you.” I corrected, “Seriously, it was no bother. I would like it if she could come by and see me once in a while. I have some projects I’m thinking of that she could seriously help me with.” She asked, “What do you mean?” I shrugged, “Just some ideas to better the pack.” She nodded thoughtfully, “I will let her know. I think she would like to help with that.” I chuckled,

That entire afternoon was spent getting dinner ready and then getting myself ready. While I was waiting for the dinner rolls to rise, I made a quick batch of blackberry muffins for our after dinner discussions. As soon as the dinner rolls were done, Josh started helping me put food on the table. I put the blackberry cobbler in the oven. I got a large platter out of the cabinet and took my drunken watermelon out of the spare refrigerator. As I was about to slice the watermelon, all of our guests arrived at the same time. Honi made her presence known right away, “Where’s my daughter-in-law?” Jessie spread her arms wide, “I’m right beside you.” She laughed, “I mean my other daughter-in-law.” I laughed, “I’m in the kitchen, about to cut up this watermelon.” Honi ran into the kitchen at full speed and I could have sworn I heard her feet burn rubber as she rounded the kitchen island to join me at the sink. I laughed so hard I nearly dropped my watermelon knife. Honi laughed, “My goddess, la

I furrowed my brow in confusion and asked, “Is he really thinking of trying to start a war with twenty warriors?” Alpha Conner shrugged, “Well, he’s trying. He has been trying to ally with all of the surrounding packs, but I may or may not have spread the word about what that pack did to you. No one wants to ally with a pack that will enslave a five-year-old child.” Then he smiled at me, “You also have quite the fan club. When I told them who the slave was, it raised their anger even more.” I smiled, “I guess it pays to be a good cook.” Alpha Conner chuckled, “Sweetie, you’re cooking is better than just good. It is way better than average. You could easily start a restaurant and never have to worry about business being slow. All of the surrounding pack Alphas know your cooking. So do their Lunas. None of us will ever let anything happen to you. If he is going to recruit more warriors, it will have to be rogues. I know you are his main target, but he won’t mind killing your mate if it

I woke up the next morning before dawn, as usual. I took a shower, got dressed and walked to the kitchen. I poured a cup of coffee and started making biscuit dough. Once I had them all on the sheet pan to let the dough rest, I started cooking the bacon and sausage. When the sausage was done, I put the biscuits in the oven and started making milk gravy. When that was done, I put the sausage back in the gravy. I checked on the biscuits and they were done. As soon as I pulled the biscuits out of the oven, my mate walked into the kitchen and there was a knock on the door. I smiled as I wiped my hands, “Sounds like Alpha Lucien is here. You get your coffee. I’ll get the door.” He yawned, “Thank you, love.” I opened the door to find Honi and Alpha Lucien. I laughed, “Well, hello! Come on in. I, literally, just pulled the biscuits out of the oven.” They walked in and Honi smiled, “I hope you don’t mind me inviting myself. I just really wanted to learn how to do that too.” I laughed, “You are

I went back to my office, working on a project that I had been thinking of for a while. Something for the older children in our pack. I noticed that there are a lot of teenagers who are parkour addicts. I was thinking that we could build a parkour park with an obstacle course. I had noticed that Nyx had developed an affinity for parkour, so I wanted to speak with her to get an idea of what would be a challenge for them. I started sketching out ideas for it when Luna Jessie walked in. I sat my sketches aside and she asked, “What are you thinking about. You looked so serious.” I smiled, “I have noticed that the teenagers in town have developed an affinity for parkour. I was thinking about building a parkour park with an obstacle course. I was going to try to get Nyx’s opinion on it. I was just trying to sketch out some of it.” She smiled, “That’s a really good idea. We need to do something for the teenagers. They seem to be the biggest troublemakers when they are bored.” I nodded, “That

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, “
