Chapter Two

Eric Cole Clear-water and Drake Silas Grey they were smirking as we sat in the car waiting for Santiago to get back with the rest of the wolves that went to help them I didn't care about there smiling faces I was worried about my kids. Quinn was looking to Eric intently as if the way he looked was something extremely amazing it made me want to laugh because Alexander could careless about two more alphas around his mommy. My son was a alpha the first boy to be born to my family since all my dad had was girls sure the kids were not with other alphas but all of them turned out to be girls no matter how many pack wolves he got pregnant. All were born girls but me i was the first born and of his Luna who sadly passed giving birth to me it just never was enough for my father.

Alexander used the back of his sleeve to wipe my face when he looked up and saw Quinn staring at the guys, his brows pushing together as he stopped and pinched her arm to get her attention. Quinn winced and looked at me when she muttered sorry.

"It isn't polite to stare Quinn!" Alexander said with a scowl.

"Be nice." I said softly to them both.

Drake leaned forward slightly. "Who's the father of these two? Because i should be able to tell we all should and for the life of me i cannot feel or smell any pull but yours so whose are they?"

"None of your business and its good that you cant tell who there dad is because that means 15 grand i spent before they were born worked so i should send that witch a thank you note."

"You had a witch mask there scent?" Eric said softly.

"Yes I did." I stated.

Eric looked upset they both did but as I looked at them they looked extremely well, both were muscled and well fed, they were about 6"1 and Drake a good 6 feet so they were tall. Drake's hair was black and combed back giving, his sides shaved to a fade and his square jaw looked more define. His jawline was amazing i always made fun saying he had a Superman jaw line he always seemed to remind me of Clark Kent but now he looked like Henry Cavil twin brother minus the hairy chest and pale skin, Drake was tan and wore a black leather jacket and jeans with steel toed boots for Eric he gave you the actual cowboy feel.

He had his sandy brown hair framing his face in small curls, his body was muscled and his arms were exposed to show muscled forearms his dark blue button up shirt showing a white muscle shirt underneath, his jeans were faded and his boots were the regular rancher work boots. He was all cowboy alright, exhaling i turned to look out the window seeing Santiago and the wolves come back.

"Come on." Opening the door I let Alexander and Quinn down first, they quickly ran to Remy and Lucas the only wolves they seemed to like aside from Santiago.

Santiago wore a pair of loose shorts, his light brown eyes on me as he smiled and moved towards me as he hugged me suddenly his arms around my waist as he lifted me slightly before putting me back down.

"You have no idea how worried I was Amelia!"

"Your not the only one....the wolves?" I asked.

"Dead...one got away though." He replied looking to the guys.

Santiago Rodriguez was my best friend and sometimes fuck buddy yeah the celibate life isn't much for wolves. He was dark brown from working in the sun, his hair reached his shoulders in dark brown waves, his brows were pushed together as he looked to Eric and Drake. He was built but compared to them stood at 5"11 though having personally seen how built he is underneath and how he fights he's just as dangerous.

"What are two Alpha's doing here on our pack grounds?"

"Apparently giving you back up." Drake replied. "We came because we had to not because we wanted to..."

"If it was to help me...thanks for that but I can manage." I said.

"Your a rogue Luna with no pack...yeah no you didn't manage Mia, you just got lucky."

"Rogue or not it's not any of your business Eric."

"It is when we could be dad's to the very kids that have a target on there back." Drake said sternly.

My body stiffened as I looked to the kids who were by the side of the road playing with Remy and Lucas, my arms crossing when I looked to them.

"Who put the hit?"

"How about we get back to he pack house, Alpha Luis already knows there here and he's expecting all us so how about we go, the kids had enough excitement." Santy said giving me a small smile.

Nodding we all loaded up and drove nearly an hour away to reach the pack house, i had been here a few times but not long enough to make ties with anyone. I hated pack business or even being in one, my old pack left a bad impression. When we arrived the kids stayed stuck to me, Alexander walked in front of me his eyes looking around curiously and that's when i noticed that his eyes along with Quinn's glowed a bright red, they were pups so they couldn't control there eyes like we could but once there eyes glowed red i had the attention of every wolf on us.

They looked at the kids and then me since i was holding there hands, knowing the state i was in i probably looked like a crazy rogue wolf which was fine by me but the way they looked at my kids was not something anyone liked. Alpha pups especially ones without packs were considered good and bad, good because they were alphas that didnt need to be worried about but bad because since they had no pack to protect them. Kneeling down to the twins i smiled and looked to them both, my hands holding theirs as i spoke.

"we are safe you two...calm down."

"There lots of wolves here mama...its weird." Alexander said.

"Yes because we are on there pack grounds...but i promise we wont be hurt here we are just here to visit okay?"

They both nodded and when i stood i had both Eric and Drake looked to me then the kids. The beauty about mind links was that you could close yourself off to others and that's what i did but i could feel how they were trying hard to reach me instead i ignored them and walked into the pack house behind Santiago.

"There you guys are."

Eric and Drake shook hands with the alpha, Santiago moved to sit next to me and smiled as he pulled Quinn onto his lap before mind linking me.

"Drake and Eric are here to take you guys back."

The look of shock was clear on my face, my hand rubbing Alexanders back soothingly as i spoke to him. "Not gonna happen, i have no reason to go back and they cant make me."

"Regardless one of them is the dad to the kids they can take you back or they can take the kids you know the law on pups. Both parents have equal rights to the children, even if you used magic there still the dads."

"I will run again if I have to..." I said looking to the twins.

"Someone is trying to kill you and the kids and i know its not my place but be smart about this Mia, if you go with them the kids would be safe alpha or not you got lucky."

Growling lowly, I handed him Alex and moved to stand next to the guys since they were speaking about the fact that more wolves would be coming for me and the kids which is still didn't understand why.

'Alright, as much as I hate to butt in can you tell me why my old pack was here?"

Luis nodded his head and sat down.

"Your dad is having a son..." Eric said calmly.

"Oh." I spoke. "With?"

"Beth." Drake replied.

"And since I am next to inheriting the pack exiled or not...he wants me dead?"

"Along with any potential threats to the pack."

Of course, it didn't matter that I left or ran away legally I wasn't of age when we fought, it wasn't an official challenge when I fought for my right to have my kids because even then as my alpha, he asked something of me that I didn't agree too and that's when we fought.

"So he's trying to take me and the kids out..."

"Which is exactly why we are here. We are alphas Mia and a threat to those kids is a threat to us weather we were ready or not in the time there still our kids..." Eric stated.

"Oh so now you want to take up the role of dad after 5 years...be honest if we hadn't been in danger would you even be here? Would you tell your mate that you have a child with another female?"

They both grew quiet and i laughed.

"Yeah, that's what I thought..." looking to the twins I would exhale.

"When's my brother supposed to be born?"

"In two months." Drake answered.

"And your plan?"

"The kids are ours they belong to one of our packs and if that's the case by pack law we can claim our children with or without your consent."

"I'm a Luna you know the only way i will give them up is through a fight so you can try."

"If you belonged to a pack this wouldn't have to happen Mia."

"After my last pack and two shitty alphas who didn't even so much as lift a finger to help me, I have trust issues."

"We were young Mia..." Drake stated. "We were out partying we weren't worrying about responsibility until we became alphas ourselves."

"Sure." I said sarcastically. "The kids aren't going with either of you law or no law there mine not yours."

"Then you're coming with us...you can stay on neutral ground until the DNA tests shoe us who's the dad."

"And you think I am just going to go?"

"You want to run and risk having them killed?" Eric said angrily his arms crossed.

I turned to look at Quinn and Alexander who played with Santiago and exhaled loudly.

"Alright we will go back but I'm not going so that you guys can find out which on is the dad but to set a meeting with my father."

"You think he will listen?"

"If I break officially my ties to the pack then yes...but since I never did can see why he thinks I'm a threat." I said and pushed my hair from my face, my hand still covered in now dry blood. "Sound good?"

"there still the children Mia...we deserve to know..." Drake said firmly.

"Only if they want you to know and so far they don't..."

Walking away from them i sat back with Santiago the kids playing as they chased each other around the table. His eyes were on me as he took hold of my hand, he had heard everything and i could see the sadness in his eyes because he knew this meant i would be leaving the state four hours or not, I was going to leave and yes, we weren't mates, but we were close.

"I am going with you...I don't trust them."

"What about your pack?"

"Luis has already granted permission Amor.'

"Don't call me that."

"Mia..." He started.

"No...we are close Santy but at the end of the day one of us will find our mate and when that happens this....it won't matter to either of us so if you want to go then go as my friend not as anything else."

He looked at me like a wounded puppy and nodded his head before taking hold of my hand. "Then as your friend know that i got your back and no matter what mate or not, I will still protect the pups like there my own."

"I know." I said softly.

After that meeting everything was arranged to head back to Oklahoma, my things and the twins had to be bought since everything was covered in silver, documents were safe and the money I had stashed was good too. I know everyone says that it was unexpected but some part of me always knew that I would have to deal with this eventually. The way I had left six years ago was enough to let me know that it wasn't over not as long as I was alive.

****FLASHBACK SIX YEARS AGO******

"So, what's the test say?" Beth asked as she swung her legs on the countertop.

"Positive...." I spoke softly.

"Ohhh so who's the daddy?"

"More like daddies.... I don't know I been messing around with Eric and Drake."

"At least their alphas." Beth said laughing.

"This isn't funny...I'm only 17 which yeah, my birthday is next month but still, my dad's going to kill me..."

Beth shrugged. She was chewing her gum loudly and she was slightly annoying, but she was my best friend at least I thought she was.

That day and night I didn't go home, in fact not getting home wasn't anything new to my father he rather not see my face anymore anyway, our relationship never was good I wasn't the son he thought when I was born. Not only did he lose his Luna but his first born was a girl a disappointment like he said so me being knocked up sure as hell was going to be amazing.

I had already broken the news to Drake and Eric and like I had anticipated they both denied any claims to my pregnancy that whole night into the morning the only person I trusted was Mary, she was a close friend to my mom and like a mother to me so once day broke through, I called her.

"Mary..."

"Child where have you been your fathers looking for you."

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"I don't know..."

Beth. That bitch probably told him already, her mother was trying hard to get her noticed by my father to be at least the alphas main squeeze and with this news of course she would use it to her advantage.

"Mary, I need you to get me a backpack ready, in my room under the floorboards you will find three shoe boxes they have the money and check books my mom left me, please pack it up along with a few of my things."

"Mia what's going on?"

"I am pregnant...if anything my dad probably already knows...please just do this for me."

I hung up and looked ahead knowing very well that the dinging was no other than my father texting and calling me, my eyes stared at the sun as it shined over the field of blooming canola the yellow looking extremely beautiful if anything this is what I was going to miss because part of me just knew that i was not going to be here for long. My footsteps were heavy, and my shoulders were squared as I entered the pack grounds everyone was waiting by the bonfire pit, young wolves and old all were there as I knew he would call them to decide my fate.

My father stood with his back to me, Beth and her mother by his side as they spoke. In Beth's eyes I could see the fear as they landed on me, her hands holding onto my father's arm to intimately for my liking but I had already had my suspicion so seeing her close to him did not anger me but the fact that she used me as a fucking meal ticket pissed me off and before I knew it my own eyes shifted to their alpha red, the wolves close to me whimpering as they backed further away from me.

"Calm yourself girl! This is still my pack!' my father stated his own eyes glowing as he glared at me.

My father stood at 5'11 and was always wearing a black jacket over a sold color shirt today's color was a deep blue, his sandy blonde hair was in small cluster of curls that were combed back from his face, he was in his mid 30s and you could see the slight wrinkles and on his face but the anger was clear on his face which never phased me even if he was my alpha.

"Your pregnant! Do you know what kind of embarrassment you are to me? Your mother brought you into this world with her dying breath and you the least can do is be a respected alpha or daughter but instead your out whoring yourself to the others?" he said with a heavy accented British voice.

"Are you done making a show dad?" I stated my arms crossing under my chest looking to him.

"Go on and make your verdict everyone here knows your just dying to say it."

He gave a low growl that made the weaker wolves whimper and bow their heads not making direct eye contact with him but me I was always one to never back down from his growls or alpha call, that whole cowering is for young wolves or puppies me as a Luna was not fazed by it and he knew this yet still tried as if he wanted me to submit but i bowed to no alpha good or bad. I sure as hell wasn't going to bow to my father.

"Your to abort that child you have inside of you and come next moon when you are of age you will be mated to another alpha and will not take ownership of this pack due to your transgression." My father stated his hand gesturing towards the wolves.

Abort? The hell I was.

"is that understood Amelia?"

"No! It isn't...if you want the pack so badly dad go on and keep it but as for me aborting my child the answer and command is no!" i stated boldly my hands moving to my sides.

"You can decide all you want on my future but your ruling stops when it comes to my child!"

"You dare challenge me girl?" he said in mock horror.

"I am not challenging you Father, I am challenging your judgement as your daughter your entitled in taking away my throne, my title hell even banishing me from the pack but as for the outcome of my child that is not your choice or do, I have say in how many wolf bitches you can impregnate?" I retorted.

"Insolent child!" he said his hand suddenly connecting with the left side of my face, the force sending me flying back as I rolled to land on my side.

One minute he was across the field, his left hand back handing me the next I was a few feet away from him from the force of his slap, the fact that he hit me was nothing new, but this hit was more him having his ego stepped on by a defiant teenager. Rolling myself on all fours I spit the blood on the ground hating the coppery taste not to mention I had a sudden feel of whiplash, but adrenaline was a beautiful thing. Looking up, my hair had come free from the messy bun, it framed my face, and I could see some of the children crying as their moms pulled them away however it was pack law to have every member present for a hearing. Winking at the little boy that was crying I stood up and looked to the small cluster of kids.

"Close your eyes pups." I said smiling.

They listened and closed their eyes, smirking I turned around and faced my father tossing my hair away from my face my eyes on him. "You hit like an omega."

The scattered laughs among the pack earned them a snarl as my father glared at me with pure hatred but at this point it did not bother me one bit. Looking at him I held no emotions in my eyes even with the sly smirk on my lips and tilted my head sightly to the left.

"So be it..." he stated.

*****END OF FLASHBACK*****

"Mommies are we almost there?" Alex asked softly, his voice was the only thing that dragged me out of the memory.

His sister had long ago fallen asleep on my lap, her soft snores filling the quiet SUV we were in, Alex refused to fall asleep and leave me alone with Eric and Drake, he didn't like them much and since they wouldn't let us ride with Santiago, he disliked them even more.

"Yeah...this road just leads us to the house baby."

"Are we going to be around other wolves?" he asked curiously.

"Do you want to be?"

"No!" he said loudly. "I don't like them either."

"Alexander...be nice..."

"I don't like them mommy they look at you weird and there mean to Santy."

"Alexander...right now things are little more complicated. We have to be around them till this is over so please for me be nice...I promise once everything is sorted out, we can get home."

He nodded and lay against me. Drake laughed as did Eric as they both stared at me through the review mirror looking away from them both I looked out the window seeing a house that looked like a manor come up. The apple trees framing it made the white look extremely bold in the sun light. It was the pack house to no other than the Clear waters, this place was a neutral ground for rouges, outcasts or stray wolves like me with the exception that their own wolves lived here as well.

Enid, Oklahoma. Home sweet home.
