Chapter 40: Unexpected Amelie My tears dried quickly, "What? Why would there be upset she-wolves." Rage and jealousy started to bubble in me, and Inari was completely locked into the conversation as well. Fear was the only emotion on Matt's face, "Oh, I mean, Alpha Gideon was an eligible widower, and you know there is a group of she-wolves who would try and get his attention. I mean, it never worked, of course. Kind of like a fan club. Honestly, the only females Alpha paid attention to were his daughters." Inari and I calmed a bit but knowing that other women tried to claim mine was irritating. The only woman who didn't bother me but I was jealous of was Mandy for apparent reasons. The goddess fated her and Gideon. I couldn't hate her for that. "It's fine. Let's go back in. I need to clean up before my mother gets here." I need to get my emotions in check; I feel all over the place. I go back inside and

Chapter 42: Change Again   Amelie   After Gideon went up to take a shower, I turned to dad and Logan, “What was that all about?” Logan has moved over to mom and has wrapped his arm around her waist, “I did the same thing when your mom was pregnant with your brother Riley. It’s instinct, and it’s hard to control.” Logan was not one for PDA, so it was sweet to see them like that. Dad also cuddled up to Celeste, “It’s natural he will work through it. Just be prepared when it happens.” Seeing the love fest going on made me want Gideon. I turn my attention to the kitchen to help Becky with lunch. When I turn around, Becky and Benjamin are all cuddly too. I can’t help but start crying for no real reason, but I only want Gideon right that second. As soon as I start crying, Gideon comes rushing into the kitchen, no shoes on, a shirt in hand, jeans on only. “What is it what happened?” H

Chapter 44: Meeting the Pack Amelie Daisy is not having it. She pushes Gideon’s face away, “No, daddy! I want Amawee.” It was cute, but I could see a little hurt in Gideon’s eyes, “Daisy, how would you like to hold my hand and walk. We need to go inside to see everyone. Can you hold my hand?” I learned a long time ago Alpha children were different from other children. Male or female, they still carried Alpha blood and tended to be fiercer when they wanted something. The flip side is that they tend to be more intelligent, and you can be reasoned with. Daisy reaches for me, “I hold Amawee’s hand.” Gideon sets her down, and she takes my hand, and we all walk together to the front of the house where everyone is waiting. “Amelie, this is my Beta Tyson. His mate Shay and their son Easton.” They all bow their heads. Tyson is tall and thinner build than what I was expecting. He has light brown hair, pale skin,

Chapter 46: Family Bonds Amelie Gideon turns and looks at me while he rubs the back of his neck. "OK, come on, girls," I say and pat the spot next to me. I can see the happiness on Gideon's face than a flash of disappointment. The girls crawl in bed and wiggle under the covers. Rose is next to me, and she looks up and touches my chest right above my heart. "When you have our flowers, can we call you mommy?" Tears start welling up, "Yes, you can call me mommy." Daisy pops up, "When will you have our flowers?" Gideon joins the conversation. "When do you want Amelie to have your flowers?" Daisy stands up in the bed, and with all the determination her little body can muster, she yells, "Right now!" I can't help but laugh. She's so fierce for a three-year-old. "OK, but you need to understand that there is going to be blood. So don't get scared." Gideon tells them. "We're not s

Chapter 48: The Luna is Here to Stay   Gideon I should have never let a Jericho into my pack. Any Alpha children who apply to join my pack I personal review and interview. I felt sorry for the young Jericho girl a few years back. Maybe I was blinded by the loss of Mandy. I remember my interview with Von. She said she was trying to escape her family reputation and wanted a fresh start. Her family does have a horrible reputation, and the Blue Crescent pack has the highest rate of deserters. I have taken in many who have left because of her father, Blake Jericho. Von came here shortly after her brother Nox became Alpha. From what she said, three years ago, he more or less pushed her out, scared that her mate might challenge him for the Alpha title. She was a pack warrior, so she decided to apply to the Druit Guard instead of going Rouge. Now I wonder if that was her intent. I have had many a she-wolf try and
