“Yeth.” He says in his baby version of yes.
We walk over and I sit him beside Grace, at Emlyn’s feet. “Do you remember what I told you, son?”
He looks at me. He’s such a smart boy, I swear I can see the wheels turning in his head. “We protect your mom and your sister with our lives, don’t we.”
He smiles, as if he remembers this conversation. “Yeth.”
“That’s right, that’s what good Alphas do.”
Grace scoffs. “Emerson, meet sister isn’t like your mother ur baby sister, Emlyn. And, you better hope your or you’ll be lucky if she doesn’t beat you for trying to protect her. She’s an Alpha female in her own right.”
“Can you say Emlyn, Emerson?”
“Emin.”
Grace and I look at each other and smile. “Close enough.” She says, as Emlyn finishes nursing.
She hands her to me to burp while she puts herself back in order and sits up to see her son, but he is all eyes for his sister.
After she burps, I ask Emerson if he wants to hold her. He holds out his hands. I carefully place her in his arms, her head toward Grace in case he drops her head. Grace puts her hand under Emerson’s to help hold Emlyn.
“You’re already such a good big brother, Emerson.” She tells him and he bears at the compliment.
Sirona walks in with her clipboard, looking up to see all of us are here. “Good afternoon, Alpha. Hey Emerson. What do you think of your baby sister?”
“Emin.” He tells her.
“That’s right. Emlyn. Aren’t you a smart, young Alpha.”
“Yeth.” He says, very seriously.
Sirona smiles at him before turning her attention back to us. “Did you hear the news? Cara just went into labor.” Cara got pregnant with their third child around the time Grace got pregnant with Emlyn.
“Wow, how many kids is that in the Alpha families for the three packs?” Grace asks.
“Well, currently, Liam and Angel have their four, Rik and Cara will now have three and then our two. So, nine.” I tell her, before smirking. “We’re behind, we need to catch up.”
She bursts out laughing. “Maybe we should wait a day or two, Alpha.” She says with a glint in her eye, making my dick twitch in my pants. This woman. I can’t get enough of her. And she knows exactly what she’s doing to me.
“Yeah, wait at least a day or two. Our Luna needs to heal. But if you can promise to give her time to heal, she can go home tonight.”
“I can promise whatever you need as long as I can sleep curled up around my mate tonight.” I tell Sirona.
That night, I lay in bed wrapped around my sleeping mate. I can hear the soft baby sounds coming from Emlyn’s bassinet and the gentle snores coming from the baby monitor in Emerson’s room.
I give myself a moment to enjoy the sounds of my family, all safe and sound in their beds before I let myself drift off to sleep.
Nine years later
It’s a beautiful day. The sun is shining, the weather in early fall is cooling down and the kids are all happy, healthy and currently running around like crazy people. Cara, Angel and I all had our kids around the same time, so our total of 13 kids are being raised together. Most of them have paired off by age, except poor Richie, whoops, he goes by ‘Rich’ now that he’s a mature 10-year-old. He’s sort of the odd man out, being the oldest male followed by two females who are best friends.
It helped that Liam and Angel kept having babies, so when Cara and I had space. in between our three each, their kids filled in the age gaps. Of course, that doesn’t count for Reagan. That’s who Angel calls her “oopsie baby”. Oopsie my Alpha ass. That girl wanted another baby, and she made sure Liam gave it to her. After her difficulty with the twins’ delivery, I’m not surprised. She almost died giving birth and it terrified Liam, so he said no more. Three years later, Angel wins by getting her last baby.
And then there’s my little family with Eli. Not to be outdone by all the baby makers in our pack, six months after we had Emlyn, we had another baby girl, Riley Paige. Eli and I had agreed that she should have my mother’s name. It was too sad for me to think about calling our daughter Paige, but Eli convinced me we could still honor my mother by giving our third child her name as a middle name. Where Emlyn is my tomboy, running around with Cayden, Cohen and Clint, the three boys that were born within six months of her, Riley is my girlie-girl. She’s best buds with Angel’s twins Quinn and Malin. Those three are going to be trouble, I just know it.
Once you add in the Beta and Gamma children from all three packs, the sprites. who gave Angel and Liam a run for their money, and just regular pack baby booms, we are all full to the brim with children. Alexander and the twins had 14 in total. Seven from each twin and every single time, the babies were born at the exact same time. Cara’s pack started making bets on it after a while. Thomas and Tula have six of their own and not to be outdone, Fanella and Christopher have four. And that doesn’t include the other wolves we have mated to sprites that are still pumping out kids every six months.
So, we made the area in between the three packs a children’s playground area. Jeremy and some folks from the other two packs built a giant jungle gym for the older kids, swings, seesaws and other smaller type objects for the smaller kids, sand boxes, water areas, pretty much anything you can think of, they included.
There’s even an area for wolves to play. Now that several of our children have started shifting, they are enjoying that area as well.
As I watch, Rich, Lily and Levi run around the wolf area with Hope. When she finally shifted a year ago, we realized what her other shifter was, a bear. Usually, when two shifters mate, the child is one or the other type of shifter. However, the hunters did something and in Hope’s case, she’s a blend of wolf and bear. It’s a strange combination. She’s built more like a bear, but she’s smaller and with markings like a wolf. I don’t know if it’s the bear in her, or if her father was an Alpha bear, but the girl is strong. Carlos has had to work with her to make sure she doesn’t hurt other children her age. He’s brought her in to the warrior training, because, at least there, she can’t hurt the adults, or at least not permanently. Personality wise, she’s split down the middle. She loves being part of a pack, but unlike wolves who constantly want to be around others, she needs alone time. I know she gets teased at school, but when she’s here with all of our children, no one dares to say a word to her.
In an interesting twist of fate, Benny became someone’s second chance mate. Her mate had passed away and after recovering from his death, she had decided to travel the country to get away from the memories of her life with her mate. She happened to come through our territory and stopped in at the diner. And the rest, as they say, is history. She joined our pack and now she helps Benny manage the diner.
Cammy, Summer and Autumn all found their mates at our mate gatherings. Cammy and Summer stayed in our pack, but Autumn left to join Rik and Cara’s pack with her mate. Paisley also found her mate, but she’s been resistant to agreeing to another mate bond after the issues she had with my father. I hope she finds peace, in whatever decision she makes.
We created the Supernatural Council years ago. After the hunter war, we were asked to intervene in supernatural issues. When we created the Council, it was two of the three Guardians, a vampire and a fae. Currently, Aolis sits in for the fae, representing his people. King Urien, the first vampire to come to Angel after the vampire war, sends his son as a representative and my sisters voted to make me a permanent fixture in the Council, since I am an Alpha female. One of them rotates on the council as well. After being petitioned to allow other supernaturals on the council, we agreed that, rather than making them permanent members, we would include a representative of any supernatural species not represented on the council when they were bringing a case to the Council for review. So far, this has worked well. We only had one instance where a demon thought he was going to throw his demon aura around to get his way. Angel and I shut him down, draining him of his energy before kicking him out of the hearing. As punishment to the demon community, we refused to allow any of their members to attend hearings for a year. The next one that showed up was much more respectful.
I love these moments at home. They are made more special by the battles we all fought to get here. All of us have had to overcome trials, loss and heartache. But we’ve persevered and we’re here today, making a beautiful future for our children and the children of our pack members.
I’m sitting at a table with my sisters, under an umbrella, all of us sitting in our mates’ laps. Someone had the great idea to put a convenience store out here, and we all pitched in for that. This way we don’t have to trudge food and drinks every time we come to spend the day together. There are grills for cooking or we can go into the building and buy food. There’s a bar to order adult beverages and right. now, my sisters and I are enjoying iced cocktails while we watch our children. playing.
As I look around, I think Ailduin was right. I think it was always meant to be this way. The Guardians were meant to be with their fated mates. Every one of our girls shows signs of being a Guardian. According to Ailduin, this is the first time in the history of the Guardians that this has happened. It started with Cara, coming from two Guardians who were fated to be together. Now, all of us are creating another generation of Guardians. It makes me wonder if our Guardian. spirits will reincarnate again after our lives end. It feels like we’ve done what the Moon Goddess wanted us to do. We’re creating a generation of stronger wolves that can fight for what is right in this world. They can fight for those that can’t fight for themselves.
As I lean into my mate, I push my love for him through our mate bond. Then, I begin sending him images of what I plan to do to him later, feeling how much I’m turning him on and knowing that I have a long, fun night ahead of me.
Cara looks out at the forest, pointing in the direction she’s looking.
“Do you see that?” She asks.
Angel and I nod, but none of the guys can see it.
“It looks like a couple and…are those large dogs or wolves?” Angel asks.
“It feels like…. it feels like my parents.” Cara says softly.
Angel and I look more closely, reaching out with our auras. She’s right, I can feel Clint. I look at Angel and I can see that she must be feeling what I’m feeling but from Lily.
“I think it is them.” I say.
Cara goes to stand, but the couple raises their hands, as if saying goodbye and they fade away.
