**Emmett POV*
Charlie hung up the phone and I stood listening for a moment to the dead line. Slowly but surely I processed what she told me before attempting to ring her back. Each time the phone rang out. Frustrated I tossed my phone aside and went straight for my fathers office. Titan paced my mind just as distraught as I was. I paused outside the office door before taking a breath and knocking."Enter" Dads voice boomed.He was an older version of me, he was as big and as muscular our hair was the same colour but his was slightly longer in length and hung just above his chin. His desk was littered with paperwork and his lap top was open. He looked up and took me in"Ah Emmett your keen today I hadn't expected you yet" he smiled mistaking my appearance in his office as enthusiasm to learn the ins and outs of being an Alpha to the pack."Dad, can an Alpha were wolf get a human pregnant?" I rushed into my question before I lost my nerve."There have always been rumoured myths of its occurance but as the werewolf pup grows much faster then a human baby it generally ends in miscarriage or complications. Human pregnancy lasts nine months , alpha werewolf pregnancy is generally five to six months only therefore its unlikely a human could carry a pup growing at the fast rate an Alpha pup tends to grow." He paused and took in my features. " Why do you ask Son?"I sighed placing my head in my hands and sinking into the tan leather sofa in his office. "When we were in New York City I met a girl named Charlie, I was so drawn to her I couldn't help myself. We had a short fling but as she was human despite the overwhelming pull I felt to her I knew logically she wasn't my mate I knew as a future Alpha she could never be my Luna so I ended it and left as planned.""And?" My father prompted from his position in his desk chair."And this morning she rang me upset saying she was pregnant." I added."Your sure she was human?" He whispered"Come on Dad she had no scent she was human" I snapped.He stood up rubbing his temple. "How far along pregnant is she possibly?" He replied.I paused mentally working it out."Emmett?" He demanded."I'm working it out." I snarled"Work it out faster." He yelled back his worry now making itself evident."three maybe four weeks at most." I answered shrugging.He sat back down "which places her roughly twelve to fourteen weeks in human gestation I believe. She should have miscarried an Alpha pup in theory by now." He sighed"I am not wishing that on her or my pup" I yelled."No one is" he snipped back. "Is it possible she was already pregnant by a human male?" He added lowering his tone."No." I muttered "she was pure when I met her""Great" he placed his own head in his hands. " we need to look after this girl now. Regardless she is right now carrying your pup, my grandpup and the future Alpha of the Pearl Moon Pack half human or not, therefore she will be treated as so. I will go to the Elders for special permission to bring her here and inform her of the Werewolf existence." He added."I'm sorry" I said feeling awkward."Too late now Son what's done is done. What is this girls name?" He returned to a business like tone."Charlie Tudor" I answered as he jotted it down."Unusual name." He raised his eyebrow. "I will call the Elders now and deal with it." He told me. I stood to leave "Emmett" he called me and I turned in the doorway. "Do me a favour, until this is straightened out you and Adam are to keep it in your pants" he added. "Alpha's orders" I left closing the door.I wandered through the pack house looking for Adam. Titan was whining in my head for Charlie and his offspring. I ignored the smiles and flirtatious eyes of all the she wolves. None of them compared to Charlie. I could feel an overwhelming desire to be near her. I ran my hands through my hair as I informed my Beta of the situation and then passed on what my father had ordered."Shit what did I do" Adam yelled at me when I told him about my fathers orders for him to also refrain from sleeping around."Oh right that's all your worried about" I snapped"No dude, I'm sorry you got into this but you liked her and you pined over leaving her so I fail to see how this is a bad thing. You wanted her back and this is certainly a way to keep her in your life." He scoffed.I flung myself on the sofa. There was a girl out there carrying my pup, I was going to be a father. It was all too much Titan howled in my mind."let me out, let me run" he pleaded."Adam let's go I need to let Titan run off the tension." We went outside and shifted into our Wolves Titan was a large majestic jet black wolf, he towered in sature above other wolves. Adams wolf Idol was not as tall or broad as Titan he was a Tan colour wolf matching Adams sandy blonde colouring. After shifting I raced into the dense forest that led to the mountains. Idol followed at my side.**Alpha Williams POV**After Emmett left I shook my head many an Alpha males wolf libido got him in trouble but impregnating a human was an unusual and unforeseen misfortune but by no means terrible after all it was how most of the Alpha blood lines had reduced over the years. I took a breath and dialled the Elders. Having explained the situation the Elder Jones paused."We agree its in the best interest of the species for you to take her into your pack and have your pack Dr deal with her pregnancy." He answered."Thank you" relief washed over me"Alpha Williams who is this girl for our records please?" He finally added."Charlie." I read off the paper I had written her name down on "Charlie Tudor""Charlie Tudor?" He responded."Yes I believe so." I was now confused by his tone."Don't do anything I'll be in touch" he abruptly hung up.I placed my head on my desk."What the f*ck is going on."** Charlie pov **"Pregnant?" Sasha gasped. "Shut the f*ck up!" She added more loudly. One of the bar patrons looked our way."Shush" I muttered "Its not common knowledge" I hissed."Are you sure?" Sasha hissed back."Yea I'm sure, but I've a Dr's appointment next week to confirm. Its just weird" I added."Weird?" She looked confused."Well I'm what four maybe five weeks pregnant tops I shouldn't even be noticing it yet." I responded."Yea, and?" She prompted.I lifted my top and showed her my round pot belly"I'm in stretchy pants already at this rate I'll be a f*cking house in nine months. " I grumbled.Sasha burst out laughing I flashed her daggers. My phone beeped and I pulled it out."Lover boy, the father of the fruit of your loins?" Sasha smirked"Worse." I muttered. "Its my father he's coming to visit me tomorrow."The smirk left Sasha's face now"Shit" she looked at me."I'm twenty one years of age not much he can do about it." I replied in a false bravado tone."Absolutely your a grown woman. You've done nothing wrong" she nodded."Shit he is going to flip out" I added my false tone slipping. Both Sasha and I were fully aware of my fathers ability to control everything and everyone around him. Meaning I grew up in a very sheltered upbringing.Sasha nodded in sympathy. "Yup who are we kidding the most strict man I know is going to murder you."I put my head in my hands. My father was a kind but strict man with a strong presence. My grandfather was worse I was only praying he wasn't on the trip as bad as my father was my grandfather was worse. "Lets hope my Grandfather isn't with him" I said to Sasha."Oh please god let Grandpa Tudor be torturing someone else." She nodded in agreement.*Emmett POV *There was some excitement in the pack when I woke the next morning when I entered the pack dining room apparently according to Adam Elder Jones and an unknown Elder had been escorted from the territory gates to meet my father. I sat down and as I was about to place the piece of pancake in my mouth my father mind linked me"My office now."I dropped my fork. Adam heard the mind link too and stood along side me."Duty calls" I sighed as we left the dining hall .**Alpha Williams POV**"Welcome Elder Jones" I warmly stood to greet my guests."Hello Alpha Williams I am sorry for the sudden intrusion but recent events are more complicated then they seem. I'd like to introduce you to High Elder Tudor." He added. I reached my hand out but he did not reach to shake it. I could feel his Alpha power along with his displeasure emanating from him."Tudor?" I raised an eyebrow quizzically."Yes Tudor" he snapped. "Your son defiled my granddaughter" he added."My son thought she was human." I began"And" he interrupted. "Whats that got to do with his behaviour?""I believe it takes two to tango. The question here that's more pressing is why does your granddaughter live as a human and according to my Son she has no identifiable scent? What the hell is going on?" At that moment Emmett and Adam entered the office. Elder Jones signalled for them to sit on the sofa."Ah perfect timing please sit and High Elder Tudor will continue the explanation he was about to provide us with." He added as Adam and Emmett nodded silently. High Elder Tudor glared at Emmett but refrained from reacting and took a breath before starting his explanation.**Alpha Williams POV**"Obviously my Granddaughter Charlie is a werewolf, quite a powerful one at that. She is a pure true descendant of the legendary warrior-werewolf named Laigneach Fáelad. He was said to be the ancestor of a tribe of werewolves who were related to the kings of Ossory in eastern Ireland. Our pack is known as the Celtic Crescent Moon Pack. A few hundred years ago our packs Alpha blood was crossed with the blood of Meabh a mystic white witch which led to a hybrid strength of breed. This created problems as Alpha males in other packs sought out our females to breed with to strengthen their own blood lines. As you know mate bonds are powerful women were taken by force mates fought and blood was shed. Our females numbers reduced and the pack numbers declined and weakened. The Elder council decided the pack should be hidden and our females magically cloaked. Most of our females live as human and mate with male humans watering down our blood line again. ""How could you do
**Emmett POV **I struggled against Adam as he bundled me out of my fathers office and into the pack common room."Adam are you kidding me right now?" I snarled as I turned and kicked the coffee table in anger. The glass centre shattered. Titan was straining against every fiber in my being to break loose and go to Charlie and our pup. Rage filled my being.The door flung open and in marched my mother, without saying much she strode across the room and clipped me on the back of head. Titan bristled but my mother's scent hit our nose ensuring Titan calmed enough not to shift and tear her apart in his rage."What in gods name do you think you are doing?" She snapped. My mother was a kind and gentle Luna, albeit on occasion she could be over baring. She had a fearsome edge that saw many an Alpha cower. She was fierce when it came to her pack and her pups. Even Titan didn't dare cross my mother and her wolf. Before I could answer she continued on "You and Adam will clean this up and then y
**Selena POV **I stood in the meadow awaiting the others to discuss the looming faith of our existence on earth. A woman in a lush green gown appeared, her brown hair hung in wild curls only tamed by the vine and flower crown perched on her hair. Known to the world as Mother nature she was a source of power that ruled over the good white witches and the fairies."Selena." she bowed to me as her greeting."Terra." I smiled back warmly at my old friend also bowing to her. A black swirling shadow appeared before our pleasantries could continue and a tall man in a purple velvet suit materialised."Selena the sun is garish." He murmured shelding his eyes with the brim of his top hat."Apologies.' I murmured waving my hand and turning the sunshine to twilight lighting with a wave of my hand."Is that more appealing to you Baron Samedi?" Terra asked addressing our new arrival. Baron Samedi was the keeper of the dead he ferried and passed those from life to death. He had many names and form
**Charlie POV **"Alpha Liam Tudor so wonderful to have you here." The older man welcomed us enthusiastically reaching to embrace my father. He stood back "I am Alpha William Sinclair but everyone calls me Alpha Williams, this my mate Luna Catherine, my daughter Daphne and my son the future Alpha Emmett." He introduced us all."Great to meet you please call me Alpha Liam, this is my daughter Charlie Tudor, her best Friend Sasha Sanderson, and My Pack Warrior Danny Moore." My father responded as everyone politely shook hands.Luna Catherine suddenly grabbed me in an embrace. "I'm sorry honey I can't help it I am so happy to have a Grandpup and no matter what a new daughter." She enthused. I found her embrace comforting and warm, her words struck me as genuine.A figure emerged staggering from the surrounding trees clutching a bottle and with an arm thrown over a scantily clad girl. Luna Catherine broke our embrace and suddenly began to apologise "I'm so sorry please excuse me a moment.
**Emmett Pov**I helped Charlie settle herself on the examination table for her first sonogram."Comfortable?" I asked her as Titan was happily prancing around my mind at the close proximity of Charlie and our pup."For now yea but you best be ready with that werewolf strength to pull me back up." She laughed. "Or failing that a crane" she added. I smirked as Dr Teller entered. "Your beautiful." I muttered for her to hear only. She visibly relaxed her body language. "Good morning Alpha Emmett" he added. "Miss Charlie, I am Dr Teller its amazing to meet you" he gushed holding out his hand. Charlie gingerly took it and shook it. "I am the pack Doctor and I'm going to look after you and your pup if that's ok?" He asked. Charlie silently nodded. "Right let's have a look at the packs future" he keenly added shaking a bottle of ultra sound gel. "Little cold" he smiled as he squirted the gel on her exposed stomach.Everyone was silent as he ran the ultra sound wand over her stomach. He
**Charlie POV**On entering I spotted Emmett's parents Luna Catherine and Alpha Williams sitting with my father and grandfather."Go sit, I'll get you some lunch." Emmett gestured toward the seat next to his mother. I gingerly approached the indicated seat I could feel the eyes of others in the dinning room burning a hole in me. The chit chat of conversations also had silenced. Luna Catherine looked around sensing the change in atmosphere her eyes met mine."Ah Luna Charlie." She loudly beamed as she stood and walked towards me. She gave a little curtsey before embracing me. "Please join me." She added loudly before whispering "Ignore them pack instinct is to observe and scent out strangers." She linked me and walked me to the table her warm welcome seemed to seal my acceptance and the noise in the room began to return as the occupants returned to their own conversations. She held out the chair next to hers and I sat down thankful to be out of the lime light."Emmett was always privat
*** Charlie POV***Once finished being fitted for my match ball dress I excused myself from Luna Catherine's company and went in search of Sasha or Emmett anyone who could make me feel normal again. I wandered toward the grand staircase and in the direction of where I thought the pack common areas where as I reached the dining hall I spotted Sasha. Two young women walked past me both did a curtsey and softly muttered."Luna" with bowed heads. Sasha spotted me in that same moment and darted toward me. Copying the young women she cutsied and smugly gestured with bowed head."Luna"I grabbed her arm and straightened her up"Oh stop it." I hissed as I linked her and we walked back toward the grand stair case and out side."I need some air" I added as I dragged her toward the lake.Sensing my unease Sasha's demeanour became more serious. At the bank of the lake I let go her arm and she spoke."Okay, you need to take a breath." She told me feeling my overwhelmed emotions."I can't do this.
**Sasha pov**Another dark jet black wolf sprung from nowhere, colliding with Charlie mid air as they both forcefully crashed into the lake. Both were submerged under the water. I held me breath waiting for Charlie to surface, when there seemed to be a hesitation I began to wade into the lake. Suddenly Emmett burst to the surface in human form cradling Charlie to his chest. I continued to wade out toward them."She's burning up." He yelled."Keep her in the cold water" I gasped reaching them both."Danny go get the pack Doctor now." He roared as Danny took off in the direct of the pack hospital."What the hell happened?" Emmett turned to me."We were hanging out and just laying on the lakes edge and then they showed up." I responded watching Charlie's face contort in discomfort."They?""Shadow people." I replied. "Lost souls that live in the shadows or walk the ghost roads.""Why...." Emmett began but was cut off by a groan from Charlie, his attention switched to Charlie. "Shhhh its
