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

One week later, my design was complete and the trenches had already been dug. The tires are being shredded into trucks right now, while the bases for the obstacle course are being built. The climbing towers are being built and Jenny has been coming to my office daily to check on the progress. Once building had actually started, she had been going to the site and coming back to inform me how it was going. I had to laugh at how the roles had reversed so suddenly. All the kids who helped me design the course are expressing their excitement non-stop. I was happy to see them so excited. I noticed that even the kids who are usually troublemakers are starting to fly right in order to be granted permission to use it. I have already installed a huge sign at the entrance with the rules. The very first rule is that troublemakers are not allowed. This is a non-violent course. If you have a beef with someone on the course, come back later. I had to admit, lately I had been feeling like I needed a

While we were in my office, I called Alpha Lucien and put it on speaker. He answered on the first ring, “Good afternoon, Co-Beta Isabel.” I chuckled, “Hi, Alpha Lucien. I have you on speaker with Alpha Matthew, Luna Jessie, and Beta Joshua. I am wondering if we can talk about my old pack.” Alpha Lucien laughed, “Of course! Are you ready for me to call in that debt?” I responded, “Yeah. We’ve been having too many rogue attacks. We haven’t had any casualties, but it’s rough on the young children. I’m ready to stop the madness.” He laughed, “I understand. I will go over there and tell the dipshit that I want the money or the pack. I’m sure he doesn’t have the money because he’s still gambling.” I smiled, “Good. I will start talking to the guys to get my Co-Alpha chosen and my Gamma. I may have to plan on taking volunteers from our omegas here to stay and train the omegas there. It’s very apparent they need some training.” Alpha Lucien laughed, “Yeah, you’re right. Okay. Let’s set a meetin

I asked Alpha Lucien, “What happened?” He replied, “He tried to kill a few pack members on his way out.” I shook my head as my mate and Alpha Matthew walked in. I announced, “Alpha Lucien, Alpha Matthew and Beta Joshua just walked in. Would you mind catching them up on our conversation?” He greeted them, then told them everything he and I had discussed. Matthew suggested, “Would thirty warriors be enough?” Alpha Lucien agreed, “That should be enough to go with the fifteen here. I can add twenty Lycan warriors to what you will be adding.” I smiled, “You have no idea how much I appreciate your help. Both of you.” Alpha Lucien responded, “We are just righting a wrong that was done to your family. Your original pack will come back when they sense that you have taken it back.” I smiled, “I hope so.” We continued the planning for just a short time longer, then ended the call. When I ended the call, I sighed, “I need a good exterminator and fumigator. Then I need to make arrangements to stay

I woke the next morning with a feeling of overwhelming dread. You would think I would’ve been excited to be able to continue my grandfather’s legacy, but I was absolutely terrified. I got out of bed and went to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and start breakfast. I started chopping vegetables for omelets and sat the cinnamon rolls out to rise while the oven preheated. Once everything is chopped and the eggs were beaten, I started the omelets and put the cinnamon rolls in the oven. As soon as the omelets were done, I mixed the glaze and pulled the cinnamon rolls out of the oven. Just as I was glazing them, Joshua walked into the kitchen, “Good morning, love. Are you ready to take over a pack full of people who hate you?” I sighed, “I’m really not sure. I’m excited, but apprehensive at the same time. All I can do is be strong in front of them.” He wrapped me in his arms and put his face in my neck, “You are the strongest woman I know. You can do this, babe. Don’t ever forget that I b

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, “
