All Chapters of The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ume Adair, the eldest of the eight Adair children of the Lunarflare pack, was me. I grew up with the best parents, Gabriel and Malia Adair, the Alpha and Luna of my pack. Malia isn’t my birth mother; she is my father’s true mate and has raised me since I was three years old. My birth mother, dad's first wife and chosen mate, was a traitor and exiled from the pack after my younger brother's birth. We heard she was killed by rogues shortly after the fact. I didn’t care then, and I don’t care now. Malia raised me as her daughter and always treated me as if I belonged to her always. Growing up it was my duty to become the next Alpha on the Lunarflare pack if something happened to my father or when he decided to retire. I trained hard; we all did. My father made sure all his children had Alpha training. We all knew how to run this pack just like he did, just in case. Mom always wanted to be prepared because you never knew what was going to happen, especially with werewolves. But I’m the o

My eyes open and I take a breath. I hadn't realized I had been holding it. For a moment, I thought my biggest fear came true, but then I realized the powerful voice that I heard came from my Beta, Kreon, who was standing next to me. My eyes quickly scanned the room, looking into all the faces. It was still so quiet inside as I looked back over at my Beta and followed his gaze to the front of the room. That's when I noticed Jessy staring right back at him. I was a little to myself trying to hide it from everyone else in the room. Jessy was a good match for Kreon, but I feared that I might lose my Beta, or our trip just got a little more crowded. I laughed, thinking to myself, I wouldn't really mind Jessy tagging along, she was a really nice girl.The silence in the room was quickly broken by hearty laughter coming from the front of the table, Alpha John, his blue eyes gazing down at my beta. He genuinely seemed happy. "It's not every day that your little sister finds her mate." His voi

I fell asleep shortly after my bath. I didn’t even remember lying down on the bed, I was woken by a knock on the door. “One moment.” My voice was heavy and groggy. I set up on the bed and rubbed my eyes. “Who is it?” I asked, remembering where I was. “It’s Ukina, I am here to help you get ready for the event.” The small voice barely reached my ears, if I was a regular human I doubt I would even have heard her.I straightened up on the bed slightly. “Come in.” I yawned. I looked over at the door as it opened just enough for Ukina to enter. She was carrying a dress bag and a very large makeup box. I shook my head a little at myself seeing it. She was very small and her hands were full.She set everything up on the vanity across from the bed. “I’ll just be a moment.” She said, then walked out of the bedroom, leaving the door open. After just a couple of minutes, she came back in with a silver tray that had a tea set on it. It was really pretty. “Don’t worry, It’s coffee.” She said, blus

Jessy and I enter a dark room through the double doors we were left at. She reached around the wall and clicked on a light. I gasped a little as I looked around. “Is this his room?” I asked in disbelief. Why would this man bring me to his room? I was enraged, though Lasaya, the whore, seemed excited. I did my best at shutting her out.The room was dark, dark walls, dark curtains that blocked out the sun. A huge king-sized bed with a black comforter and sheets, it was unmade and looked slept in. The pillows and sheets were all disarrayed. There was a closet that was opened and clothes thrown everywhere around the room except for the empty laundry basket where they belonged. There was also a fireplace that looked to be electric with no fire going, and another door which I assumed led to a bathroom.I walked to the window and pulled open the dark curtains. The sun had already set so it didn’t bring much light in, but I was surprised to find that what I assumed to be a window was a double

TRIGGER WARNING - ViolenceI woke up with my entire body against Jackson, my head was on his chest, my arms wrapped around his body. I didn’t move for a long time. I couldn’t believe how well I slept lying next to him. It was a bit frightening to be honest. I felt his finger start to trace circles on my shoulder, telling me that he was already awake. “Good morning Luna.” His voice was groggy from sleep but it still made me tingle all over. I jolted away from him quickly. I didn’t want to give him the wrong idea, I also didn’t want to give myself or Lasaya the wrong idea. She was already purring in my mind, content being next to our mate. I rolled out of bed and went to my suitcase. “I’m going to shower. When’s breakfast? I’m ready to get out of here?” I asked. When I glanced up at him, he already had that goofy smirk on his face. “A shower sounds nice, I’ll join you.” He teased me.“Or!” I retorted, you can go take a shower somewhere else. I started digging through my bag in haste,
