The first note read, “To my grandchild. I want you to know that I wish I could have been with you when you took my pack back. I would have loved to have seen the look on your face when you saw the contents of the safes. I never really trusted banks. Well, not necessarily banks, but the wolves working in them. I would have used human banks, but I could have never explained this much money to the human government. “I’m sure you are asking how I knew I would lose the pack and that it would be you, and not my son, to take it back. Well, you have a cousin who is an oracle. She came to me one day and told me that my Luna, your grandmother, and I would be killed in our sleep by an outsider in order to take our pack. You see, Alpha lesson number one is once your pack gets big and it is flourishing, it becomes a target for other Alphas or even a regular lone wolf who wants to be an Alpha. You, my grandchild, are starting out with a huge pack that is flourishing. “I hope Jacob was able to come

At dinner that evening, we added the one hundred seventy-five new members to the pack and then we started a bonfire to be able to visit with one another and Honi would bless the pack. I explained to the pack that we will be receiving an Arapaho blessing from my mother-in-law. They all applauded resoundingly and Honi actually blushed as she nodded her head in thanks. I walked back inside to get a drink and heard another knock on the door. I opened the door and a man and woman were standing there. The man, Michael, introduced himself, “Hello, I’m Michael and this is my mate, Jada. She is an oracle.” I smiled widely as I asked, “Are you the oracle who warned my grandfather?” She smiled as she nodded, “I am. I hate that he passed, but I am very happy to meet his granddaughter.” I welcomed them into the house with a hug and added, “I would like to make you members of the pack again and then you are welcome to join us in watching my mother-in-law give the pack an Arapaho blessing.” We walk

When we got back to the pack house, we went back to my office and Joshua asked, “What are you doing, love? You are supposed to be relaxing.” I laughed, “I’m just looking through all of this paperwork from the safes. I want to see what all this is. While you guys were looking at the land that my grandfather left, I found more deeds and checked them with the land office. We still own them. There are some businesses. A couple are some of the oldest businesses in the pack. One is an old-fashioned ice cream shop.” He chuckled, “We should try it out before we go home.” I smiled, “We should do that but not right now. There are also some other deeds that I’m not familiar with.” I handed some to him and he furrowed his brow, “We should get an original pack member in here. It’s very possible that we didn’t need to buy that apartment building for revenue.” I smiled, “But it would come in handy for any overflow of pack members until we are able to build more houses.” He smirked as he nodded, “Tha

We had a nice walk and when we got to the ice cream shop, I was floored when we walked in the door. It had the feel of the old-time ice cream shop and soda fountain. Behind the counter was a huge dark-stained wood shelving system with a series of spigots and a variety of syrups in bottles in the center. On the shelves to the right, there were four different sizes of glasses, straws and spoons with long handles. The shelves to the left held an assortment of styles of ice cream dishes and a container holding several ice cream scoops in sanitizing water. There were four freezer cases under a marble countertop. Inside, there were two-gallon buckets containing forty different flavors of ice cream. The glass windows on the outside allowed the customers to choose the flavors they preferred. I smiled widely as I looked around at the nostalgic décor. Joshua and I held hands as we approached the counter. I looked in the windows and noticed an ice cream that was a beautiful shade of pink, with c

Joshua and I went to bed early that night, exhausted from the night’s events. I woke early the next morning, ready to get to my office and get my work caught up. I took my shower, got dressed and sat on my mate’s side of the bed. He turned to face me, “Good morning, love. It’s good to see you up and ready to get started.” I smiled, “I am. I’m about to get some breakfast. Would you like to come to breakfast with me or would you rather I bring some breakfast up to after I eat?” He asked, “Would you please pick up some breakfast for both of us and eat up here with me?” I laughed, “I can do that.” I kissed him and smiled, “Take your shower while I’m out. Okay?” He nodded, “Will do.” I went to the dining hall and grabbed to-go containers for both of us and filled them full of bacon, sausage, eggs, hashbrowns and biscuits. Then I filled two styrofoam bowls with gravy and went back to our room. I put our food on the table in our room while I waited for him to finish getting dressed. I starte

I decided to wait until we got home to read the letters from my grandmother. I had a feeling that it was going to be emotional, so I wanted to be in our suite when I went through everything. I thought about taking all the boxes that were in her hidden closet. I think there might be some pack history in there. However, I decided to wait until I came back and load them in the vehicles or ask Andrew to send someone up with them. I’m not really in a rush. I don’t want to stress over it. After we were done with that hiding spot, I asked Jacob, “Are there any more hiding spots?” He replied, “No, except the tunnel.” Joshua, Andrew and I asked, “Tunnel?” simultaneously. We looked at each other and chuckled, but Jacob nodded, “Yeah. You didn’t know about the tunnel?” We all shook our heads and he explained, “There was an Alpha during one of the human wars who instructed a group of omegas to dig an escape tunnel. It was to keep the humans from finding us.” I added, “And I bet that’s how Alpha R

Douglas came back to the house and walked into my office. I asked, “Okay, so tell me where the tunnel comes out.” He shook his head, “It ends at the hidden cellar that you were in during the rogue attack that killed your parents.” I gasped and sat back in my chair, “What. The. Actual. Hell. I’m shocked. I have to say, though, it almost doesn’t surprise me. There are so many surprises in this house and pack. Not the people, but the pack house is full of surprises. It’s crazy. It does lead to a house that the Alpha and Luna could have holed up in with some other pack members until the danger was over.” Joshua added, “It would be an easy way to cross the border without being caught too. All they had to do was climb the ladder and run out the back door. Bang! You’re in neutral land. Walk ten feet straight ahead and you’ll be in the neighbor’s territory.” I nodded, “Yep. Actually, you are in neutral territory at the ladder. Red Moon Pack territory starts at the front porch.” I sat in my of

We have been back in Cold Springs pack for a week and I was forced to relax the entire week. Not only by my mate, but also by Alpha Matthew, Luna Jessie and, when I argued with all of them, they tattled to Doctor Simmons and I got a whole new lecture from him. I was pouting for the last couple days, so Joshua finally caved and let me go to the office today. I was so happy to get back to my office and sit at my desk and actually start getting some work done. Luna Jessie asked, “So how are you feeling?” I replied, “Better than I have been, that’s for sure. I’m excited to get back to work. I am no good at relaxing. I’m not used to it.” She laughed, “Get used to it, because you are going to have to do a lot of it and you will be thankful for it after those babies are born. Thanks to you, Matthew has been making me take afternoons off and go home. He wants me to do it for the rest of my pregnancy. So, what I mean to say is, thank you for that.” I laughed as I raised an eyebrow, “So you hav

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, “
