The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume Grim Revelations
When I finally woke up from my nap with Jackson, I was shocked to find out it was early the next morning and I had slept another night away. I was alone in bed and had no clue what time he had woken up and left, but I did find a little note on his pillow containing the password to the computer in my office and the pack accounts. I crawled out of bed. I wanted to get to my room and shower and change before hitting up the office and doing some research into the Silver Adder pack. I really wanted to find out what was going on and get everything in working order. When I opened the door and left Jackson’s room, I saw Jackson coming out of the Luna’s room. The one Ayla said that I wasn’t allowed to enter. He shut the door and locked it behind him. “Who’s in there?” I asked curiously. He jumped a little at the sound of my voice, clearly not expecting me to be standing between the two doors in the middle of the hall. “Don’t worry about it, Ume.” He said, trying to brush me off. I ignored
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume Under New Management
When we made it to the stairs, I could already hear the chatter coming from the dining hall. The place must have been packed. Jackson held me back and motioned for the others to go ahead. Once they were out of sight, he turned and looked at me. “Some wolves blindly follow their Alpha.” He explained and I nodded. “Promise me that you will never follow me blindly, if I make a decision that you don’t agree with, don't be afraid to challenge me, or dig for more information.” He said then started to walk again.I didn’t move, he stopped and looked back at me. “I already do that, and often you tell me not to worry about it. Like this morning outside the Luna’s chambers.”, I informed him. “I’m probably going to keep doing that.” He smirked. “Just, you know?” I blushed a little and nodded as we finished heading down the stairs and into the dining hall. The dining hall was packed to the brim and all eyes fell on Jackson and me when we entered. I just kind of looked down at the floor, a littl
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume Venom
I had laid in my bed long enough. It had to be close to two in the morning or maybe even later. I was bored so I decided to get up and tip toe downstairs for a snack. I step into the hall in my pajamas and walk toward the stairs. I heard the door to the Luna’s chamber open and I turned my head back to see what was going on. I was almost floored when I saw Tsubaki walking out holding a plate and glass.I stared at her as she closed the door behind her. She looked up at me and smiled. “What are you doing in there?” I demanded. The anger rose in my voice. She takes a few steps toward me and I take a step back, not wanting her close to me at all. She giggles a little and just walks past me toward the steps. “Where do you think I sleep, Luna?” Her laughter fills the hall as she descends the steps. My blood started to boil. I knew my face was red from the heat radiating off it. “Let me rip her fucking throat out, Ume.” Lasaya was forcing herself forward in my mind and I was struggling to
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume On The Road
The next week went by pretty smoothly. I liked that I saw less of Tsubaki since she had been banned from the Alpha’s floor, though Jackson still wouldn’t budge on telling me who was in the Luna’s chamber. I caught him leaving a couple of times and every time I checked the door was always locked. In the house, everything was in perfect condition. Jen ran the housekeepers with an iron fist and our head cook, Margo, was amazing. The food was probably the best I have eaten in quite a long time. Her meals were on par or even better than some of the meals we had at Lunarflare. The dining rooms were packed and full of laughter and conversation at meal times. Jackson even started to come and eat with everyone. The jerk was kind of growing on me. The gardens outside were starting to take shape. We even had a head groundskeeper whose name was Spencer. They planted the fall and winter blooms but they haven’t come in yet. I was also very impressed that Spencer and his family kept the pack farm
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume Nashville
“We’re here.” I opened my eyes at the sound of Jackson’s voice. I somehow managed to move in my sleep and was all over him. My head was on his chest, my legs tossed over his lap and my arms around his shoulders. I raised my head up quickly and looked out the window. The car was still moving but I could see the city. The buildings were tall and wonderful, there were people everywhere, walking down the street, yapping on phones, going in and out of shops. I could smell some food cooking from a nearby restaurant and it smelt amazing. We passed by a couple of buildings with guitar music drifting into the street and people were dancing in cowboy hats.In a matter of seconds, I was in Jackson’s lap with my face pressed against the window just taking in all the sights. Liam made a few more turns and I saw the mall. The building was huge. I had never seen a building take up that much ground before. The parking lot was packed as well, with shoppers coming and going. It took Liam a little whil
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume 18
“You look perfect.” I smiled at Ayla as she stood in front of a mirror looking at herself in her beautiful blue dress. Her blonde hair was pulled back and curled just enough for them to bounce around her chin. “Jackson and I got you something.” I said and handed her the small wrapped box that Jackson and I got from the witch shop. Ayla, with shaking hands, took the box and smiled. Jackson looked in the door, he had been waiting outside while we were getting ready. “Thank you, I didn’t expect anyone to get me a gift.” She said, starting to open the paper on the box. “Of course, I was going to get something for my baby sister,” Jackson said as he took a step into the room and leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest. “Go on, open in.” He encouraged her. She smiled and opened the box after removing the paper. Her eyes widened when she saw the necklace with the clear jewel in the center. “It’s beautiful,” she exclaimed. She took the necklace out and handed it to me
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume The Full Moon
The rest of the party went smoothly. Liam and Ayla vanished shortly after Liam returned to the party. I was happy for them. I already loved Ayla like my own sister and Liam and I have been friends all of our lives. Jensen was nowhere to be found, which was probably a good thing for now, because I was unsure of what Jackson might do to him, let alone Liam. Today was another busy day at the pack house. Since I had overslept, I was alone in the dining room picking at the food Margo had brought me. I was more amused by watching Jen and Margo rushing people around and barking orders, then I was hungry. I missed my mom and, in some ways, watching these two women reminded me of her. Tonight was the full moon so, of course, I was missing my family more today than ever. I was also really worried about Sage. Since she isn’t a werewolf, she isn’t able to communicate with our pack when they are shifted. My father always carried her and the Beta’s daughter always stayed in human form to keep her
The Alpha's Children - Book 1: Ume The Room
It had been a long night. I didn’t want anything else but to shower and crawl into my bed once the party was over. I helped Ayla move her things to the Gamma’s quarters so that she could stay with Liam easily and called my father afterwards to check how their pack run went. I was happy to hear that it went well. I was startled awake at some point during the night. I don’t know if I heard something or if I was having a dream, but I woke up with Lasaya on alert. I crawled out of my bed. I knew that if there had been an attack, that the warriors on patrol would have alerted someone and, even though I didn’t have the ability to mind link, there would have been more noise in the house by now. I moved to my door and opened it. When I looked down the hall, I noticed the door to the Luna’s chamber was slightly ajar. I quietly slipped out of my room and started making my way toward the opened door when Jackson emerged. He looked at me with a shocked expression as he stood in the doorway.
