Chapter 657
Uncle Reggie has Milo, Silas and Mack completely enamored with a story about the war his grandfather fought for the throne. He can barely stay in his seat with his wild gestures and exaggerated faces. The fire from the fire pit is adding to his dramatics. To them he isn’t the ‘Alpha King’ or some celebrity. He’s just a Grandpa or an Uncle who tells great stories and he is fully in his element. If he is this excited about all the boys that have been born into our ranks I can only imagine what will happen if Mina, Xander and Oscar have a girl. She will be the most spoiled, well trained, full of spice princess they have ever seen.
These boys have no idea what had to happen to make the world that they now know, but we will make sure they know all the stories and struggles that shaped their future. All the kids will know. The pack is still young in its rebirth, but we won’t let the past die. Our goal is to make sure that none of our offspring make the same mistakes the generations before them did.
“Are you avoiding the question little sis or are you still in denial?” He laughs at me.
‘I am not sure what you are talking about.” I wink at him and walk toward my mates who are all looking extra handsome with their different levels of dress down from their suits. They all lost their ties almost immediately and the top buttons on the collars were let loose showing off the little peek-a-boo tattoos crawling across their collarbones. It’s one of my favorites looks on all three of them. Just a hint of danger hidden under controlled class.
Dakota offers me a glass of champagne, but I shake my head. “I have one more announcement to make and then I am tired and I think I pam going to turn in early.”
“Anything you want baby, this is your day.” Oliver, pulls me back into his chest, wrapping a protective arm around me. He is always quick to give me my way, especially with small things like bed time. He saves his fights for the bigger things.
I should have told the girls so we could take bets on reactions, but I think this will be more fun.
I clear my throat, getting the
attention of the people around us, the rest will follow suit soon enough. “I want to thank all of you for joining us today. The last year has been a trying one for all of us and we are on a path to strengthen relationships with old friends.” I wink at Uncle Reggie and Xander, which earns me a growl from Cam and laughs from anyone near enough to hear. “And establish new friendships and connections,” I look at Elena and Gentry and nod. “And bring in the next generation to an era of acceptance, hard work and dedication to the positive growth of our pack. Our future Delta and Beta
are proof of that…”
“YES!!! We are going to be THE BEST EVER!!!!” Silas interrupts not missing a beat, followed by a roar of laughter.
Once the noise dies down, I continue. “I hope our future alphas have the same enthusiasm as their cousins. Although I think the boys are going to need it to keep up, they are going to have their hands full with three alpha females.”
I finish, smiling, and just let my words sink in as I look around. Who’s going to catch on first?
“ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME?!?!”
Yep, she’s my best friend for a
reason. “THREE? You’re having three?” Sierra is barreling towards me as everyone else catches on to the announcement. They all begin to cheer and celebrate all over again My mates haven’t moved behind me and Im almost afraid to look. She coffides with me, wrapping her arms around my neck and shouting nonsense into my ear. She pulls back, placing a hand on either side of my face. “How did you not tell me? How did I not know? I mean you’ve known for a while in order to know you were having three…and girls! Holy sh*t! This is so awesome! Who did you tell first?”
“I had to talk to Elena and Gentry. No one else knew until right now. It’s actually really scary for me and for the girls, so I needed to be ready. We have a lot to do.” I give her a watery smile. This should be a happy moment, but I can’t help but be scared. This is how so many women in my bloodline died. It seems so
archaic with all the medical
advancements we have. But, it’s the magic part that science can’t always
overcome and I am scared, but
excited all at the same time and I
know I won’t do it alone. She kisses
me on the forehead then steps back.
