Gabrielle POV
“Girls get in here now” I yell down the hallway. A few minutes later, Ruby, Jade, Brooklyn and Autumn all come into the kitchen. “What’s up mom,” Ruby asks like she has no idea why I’m calling her. “Is this what we are going to do? You’re going to pretend like you have no idea what’s happening.” “Mom, they are driving us crazy.” “Ruby Serina Solace, I don’t want to hear that from you. Archer is your brother and Wesley is your cousin.” I bend down so we are eye to eye. “You can either include them or you can be grounded.” I stand up, looking at the other girls. “That goes for all of you. I’m sure your mothers will agree with me.” “We’re sorry” they all say in unison. We will let the boys play.” Wesley and Archer step into the kitchen. “I have a snack for all of you and then you can go play together”, I say with emphasis on the word together. The door opens and my handsome mate comes walking in. The girls jump out of their seats running to Lake. They are definitely daddy’s girls. For a big strong Alpha who gives orders to our warriors, these girls play him like a fiddle. “How are my girls today” he asks. Ruby looks back at me and decides against it. I remember being her age and trying my parents against each other. Just like it didn’t work for me, it won’t work for her.
Once they are finished, they run out the door and downstairs. Strong arms wrap around me as I clean up the mess. I turn in his arms. “I wish we didn’t have a meeting this afternoon. I can think of much better things to do.” I laugh, “I’m sure you can.” I kiss his lips and slide out of his arms before he makes me forget about the meeting. I toss him the rag to finish cleaning up the mess while I go to get dressed. I chuckle on my way down the hall thinking about my pouting mate cleaning the counter. I head into the bathroom and jump in the shower.
Ruby POV
Once we are outside, we all head toward the trees. “Do you guys want to play hide and seek?” “Who gets to be it” Archer asks. “We can play rock, paper, scissors.” After three rounds, I win. I start to count and after ten I take off. I find Wesley, Brooklyn, and my brother easily. After a few minutes, I still can’t find Autumn. “Autumn, are you cheating with your powers?” I hear a giggle and turn when I hear a branch break. I expect to find Autumn but I come face to face with a rogue. I may not have my wolf, but his scent of rotting meat invades my nose. I start to back up and Autumn comes to stand next to me. I can feel the others are near. “Run now”, I scream. I can hear their feet hitting the ground as they run. I’m grateful they listen. The sound also catches the rogue’s attention. “Don’t worry about them. I’m the future Alpha. I’m the one you want” I say. I know telling him is stupid, but I have to protect my family. He shifts and a disgusting man is standing there. I focus on his face, knowing that he is naked.
“You’re not very smart to tell me who you are, little girl.” “I think you’re not very smart for coming into my pack.” He starts to laugh like I just told him the funniest joke. Autumn and I continue to back up as he laughs. “Where are you going, little Alpha” he says as he starts toward us. He shifts and I’m about to wrap my arms around Autumn to try and protect her when we are engulfed in a purple orb. The wolf bangs into the orb and bounces off. He gets to his feet and shakes his head. He growls and starts back toward us. “Autumn, what is this?” “I’m not sure. I focused on protecting us and it appeared.” He bites at the orb and growls again. A growl that shakes the trees comes from behind us. I turn and see Razor running at full speed, followed by Ace and Hunter. Razor jumps over the orb, landing on the rogue. Ace and Hunter stand on each side of the orb. A few seconds later, Tabby appears inside the orb with us. She wraps us both in a hug and seconds later, I am in our living room. My mother pulls me into her arms before she starts to look me over. “Are you alright Ruby?” “Yes, mom. Autumn saved us from the rogue.” “I may have saved us but Ruby saved the others.”
My mother looks at me and I tell her everything that happened. “I’m proud of you Ruby. I wish you could have just run, but I understand why you did what you did. I’m just so glad you are all alright.” My
brother rushes over and hugs me. “I’m glad you’re alright Ruby. I was so scared.” I hug him back, “me too.” My father comes in a few minutes later and I am scooped up in strong arms. He says nothing. He just holds me. My mother walks over and hugs Autumn. “You are just as special as your mom. Thank you for being so brave.” My dad sets me on my feet and kisses my forehead. “I have a gift for all of you” Tabby says. She walks over to me first. She places a necklace over my head. “Besides being pretty, this necklace is special. If something like that ever happens again before you have your wolves, just hold the charm in your hand. It will let your parents know you need help since you can’t link them yet.” The charm on my necklace is a wolf with a ruby in it. Jade’s is a moon with a jade stone in it. Archer’s is a rope bracelet with an amethyst stone on the tip of an arrow woven into it. Brooklyn’s is a necklace with a flower that contains an opal stone. Wesley’s is a bracelet that looks like rope with emerald stones in it. She goes to Autumn last. “I know you have powers but I want you to have this ring.” The stone in the ring looks like a rainbow. It is so pretty. “Thank you mom”, Autumn says and hugs Tabby.
Lake POV
“Alpha, there is a visitor at the gate that says he is here to see his grandchildren.” “Who is it?” “He said his name is Stephen Piper.” I break the link and leave my office to find Gabriella. She is sitting in the living room when I walk in. “Gabriella, your grandfather is here.” She chuckles “well my grandfathers both live here, so that isn’t odd.” “I’m not talking about River or Harold.” Her eyes get big and she links. She takes my hand leading me to the office. Archer and Sabrina are already waiting for us. “Does he know about our kind?” “No, that’s why we always take the kids to visit him”, Gabby says. A knock sounds and the guard opens the door. Gabriella jumps up and runs to her grandfather. “Stephen is everything alright”, Sabrina asks. “I needed to talk to all of you. I just thought it was time that I come to your pack to do it.” We all look at each other. “Don’t worry, I have kept your secret for a very long time and it will die with me. “How” I can’t help but ask. “Teenagers are not very good at keeping secrets when they trust someone. The boys slipped a few times and when I asked they told me about
werewolves and all of you. I made them promise to keep it between us. I figured when you were ready to tell me you would.”
“Now the reason I wanted to come talk to you all is that I’m ready to retire. I have people in charge of the business that are very capable, but they are not my family. You will be named as the board of directors. I am leaving the firm to my great-grandchildren. It will be placed in Ruby, Jade, and Archer’s names when they turn eighteen. The same goes for Brooklyn and Wesley. When Serina and Nicholas have kids they will also be added. The lawyers have all the directions. Until that time, it will remain in Sabrina and Archer’s names. Everything has been handled but I needed you all to know if something should happen.” “Grandpa, are you sick” Gabriella asks. “I will not burden you all with that.” “Sir, no disrespect, but you are family and if you are sick, then you should be with family.” He smiles “thank you, I would love to spend some time with all of you.” Gabriella gets up and goes over to hug him. “We will make all the arrangements for your things to be brought here” she says and I can hear the sadness in her voice. “Hey, none of that Ella. I’m still here and we can spend time until I’m not.”
