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

The next morning, after cooking and eating breakfast, Joshua and I went to our offices. I started looking through reports from my pack and noticed the rogue attacks are increasing. I looked up the interrogation reports after each attack. They haven’t gotten to who is paying them yet, but I already have an idea. I just need to find out how to reach him. My first call was to Alpha Lucien. He answered on the first ring, “Hello, Alpha Izzy. How’s the new pack?” I laughed, “Hello Alpha Lucien. It’s going great. Almost all of my grandfather’s pack members are back plus their families. We are now almost up to seven hundred members!” Alpha Lucien laughed in surprise, “Do you have enough housing for all of them?” I nodded, “Josh and I bought the huge apartment building in town as soon as we got to the pack as a revenue source, but now it is holding some overflow until the new houses are built. We ended up finding a lot of surprises too. You’ll have to come up for dinner sometime soon. I will h

As Honi sat in my office, I called Andrew. He answered on the first ring, “Alpha Izzy. How are you doing?” I smiled, “I’m fine, Co-Alpha Andrew. Do you have Jacob with you?” He answered, “Give me a second and I can get him here.” It was quiet for less than a minute then I heard Jacob made it to the call, “Beta Jacob at your service, Alpha.” I chuckled, “Hey guys, I need you two to come up tomorrow for a chicken parmesan lunch meeting. It’s pretty important. I’m hosting Raymond to see if we can reach some kind of agreement to stop these stupid rogue attacks. He’s still insisting on being called Alpha.” Andrew laughed, “Alpha of what?” I laughed, “I asked the same thing. We can get that answer tomorrow. Douglas can run things while you are gone. I fully expect a rogue attack while you are up here, so be sure to prepare Douglas for that.” Andrew agreed, “I will make sure to talk to him.” I smiled, “Thank you. If you guys could be here at eleven, we can talk about options. I want us all t

The next morning, I woke up to an empty bed. I looked at the clock on my night table and found that it was eight o’clock in the morning. It was later than I normally got up, so I felt like I needed to hit the ground running. I smelled sausage cooking and my stomach started rumbling. I got out of bed, took my shower, and put on a deep purple sundress with black sandals. I walked into the kitchen and found Josh making breakfast while Jessie started the dinner rolls. I poured a cup of coffee and sat at the island, “Thank you for making breakfast, love.” He smiled, “It’s the least I can do for you. I want you to be able to relax today. It’s going to be bad enough as it is.” I gushed, “Aw, you’re so sweet. Thank you.” Jessie finished setting up the bread machine for dinner rolls and turned it on. She turned to me, “Don’t you dare do anything with those. I am here. I will be taking care of them. Honi is on her way up to start pounding the chicken breasts. We will be hanging out together for

I asked, “What do you mean by that?” He replied, “They want to schedule a visit and appoint an elder to live at the pack to keep an eye on things.” I nodded, “That’s fine. Everything should be according to werewolf law, right?” He nodded, “Everything is actually better than when Ben had it and definitely better than when Raymond had it. We are still growing too. The school has already been cleaned, repaired where needed, and is now being stocked. We are planning on opening it to the kids in September. We are assigning quite a few of our kitchen staff to the school cafeteria too.” I smiled, “I was going to suggest that. I would strongly suggest trying to take volunteers first.” He agreed, “We will do that.” I asked, “Should I be there when the elders come to the pack?” Andrew shrugged, “Part of me wants to say no, but another part of me wants to tell you it’s a good idea.” I asked Joshua and Matthew, “What do you guys think?” Matthew sighed, “As badly as I want to tell you that you sho

It had been a week since the meeting with Raymond and things were going much better. Construction had started on his pack house and he was fine with some of our warriors being there to protect my builders. He actually welcomed it because he told me that he turned away some rogues who wanted to join his pack. They were honest with him and told him why they were rogues and he chose not to let them in. They had been violent with children in their previous packs, and he did not want that in his pack. He was afraid they were going to attack. And they did try. My warriors took them out before they had a chance to do any kind of damage. Raymond had decided that he wanted to welcome individuals and families who were rogue through no fault of their own. I did like that idea and told him as much. Word started spreading about what he wanted and rogues started applying. He was just living in a tent until the pack house was built. He noticed that the blueprint we provided would fit double the numb

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, “
