From Beta to Queen

Sophie’s POV

Tomorrow Zach turns 21 and a week later we will rise from heirs to the leaders of our pack.

We are still at odds with the kingdom but Daddy and Bill managed to make it a soft landing for us. Most Alphas understand our reasons. Last year there was a petition to have Lynn sent to us. The Queen squashed it.

And despite my ranting in the delivery room and my almost rejecting Tony I did give birth again. To a son this time. We named him Teddy, after my dad. Zach was super happy, he didn’t want to name his son after dad, so we took the pressure off.

Giving birth the second time was easier, in fact the whole pregnancy was easier. And Teddy is now two months old. Both Ally and Lizzie fawn over him.

They are two and they are walking and talking. They live to play hide from mommy. Krista and. I don’t know how we are going to be able to get any work done ever with these two. They managed to get on the top shelf of the pantry last week and cover themselves in bread loaves. The poor Omega who went to get bread for lunch nearly had a heart attack when the girls shouted ‘Boo’.

Of course the girls think their antics are hilarious. Betty saids they remind her of Zach and Tony. She saved the girls from a punishment just last week by reminding Zach and Tony that they also put soap in all the toilets after seeing it in a movie. And according to Betty, it was the dads’ fault for letting the girls watch that movie.

I caught the dads and girls watching Home Alone and put a stop to it.

“Do you honestly want to give them more ideas?” I ask and Zach and Tony looked at each other in terror. I guess the idea of the girls pulling off some Kevin McCaslter level shit scared them. Honestly it scares me too.

So we have banned all movies of mayhem for a while. Not that these girls need ideas.

Yesterday they hid a robot spider in GranGran’s closet and then hid under the bed. When Mom got out of the shower they had it crawl across her feet. She screamed so loud dad shifted ready to fight.

Mom said Lizzie was the least afraid of Dad’s wolf even when he glared at her. Mom said Lizzie walked right up to him and said. “Granddad I love you.” Before giving him a hug.

Krista and I are trying to get them in dresses for Zach’s party and they are both fighting us. Krista is struggling the most because she is pregnant with her second also a boy due yesterday.

“Alright that’s it,” I say after the girls run away from us for the third time. “I’m getting your fathers.”

“Nooo,” the girls cry and come running back to us.

“We should have said that to begin with,” Krista saids finally getting the dress over Ally’s head.

“Mommy do I have to wear a dress all night,” Lizzie looks at her dress it’s blue and Ally’s is the same dress in green. Neither girl will wear pink.

“Yes, but Ally is sleeping in your room tonight,” I smile at her.

“Yay,” both girls cheer.

“Like you two don’t already sneak into each other’s rooms,” Krista rolls her eyes.

It’s true these two are more like sisters than cousins. One worker at the daycare said she would have a hard time telling which was Beta and which was Alpha if for the fact that both girls are the images of their fathers. Ms. Gladace has been working that daycare since before Zach was born she reminds me that the boys shenanigans are very similar to the girls and not to be too discouraged, since the boys turned into fine men.

“Are you ladies ready?” Zach asks from the door.
