First Heir Novels & Stories

Prominently highlighted was Article VII, Clause Delta. The figure continued, "However the Council is not without… leniency. A path to redemption exists. You have one week, Alexander Sterling, to fix this breach. You will present yourself before the Council.. You will bring the true heir. The one who can uphold the covenant. The child of the Sterling bloodline. Ready to serve." The woman with the gavel brought it down with a thud. Alexander stared at the screen horrified. The true heir. They didn’t just want his company; they wanted Leo. His son, who was currently undergoing tests for a heart condition was now a pawn in a generations-old game.

Most of all. He remembered becoming the father of the child she had just fled the pack to protect. And for the first time in his life... The future Alpha of the pack broke.

"I know who my father was. Alpha Kael's brother. That's not a secret anymore." "That's part of it. But not all of it." Victoria pulled out a folder. Held it up. "May I?" I nodded. She opened it and showed us documents. Old records. Birth certificates. Property deeds. "Your father wasn't just Kael's brother. He was the original heir. First born. Entitled to the alpha position before Kael took it through what we'll politely call questionable means." "That's ancient history," Stefan said. "Doesn't matter now."

He holds my gaze and challenges every reason my brain comes up with that he’s here with me tonight for any reason other than he wants to be with me. “So, you’re not a choice of successor. You’re an heir,” he says slowly, as if trying to comprehend what I’m saying. “I’m not just AN heir, Benedict. I’m THE heir,” I say quietly. “What do you mean?” “When my grandfather met my grandmother, his fated mate, he didn’t accept her. He didn't realize that she had Alpha blood. You know how second sons become Betas and second sons of Betas become Gammas, etc?” I ask.

Alessa asked as she bit her lip. “Okay. First thing you should know is, Bryan is the head of the family now and he has everything in his name and not yours. Do you want to know the craziest part? Aiden isn't the heir, it's Aria. Aria is the heir to the Hart’s fortune while Aiden is the heir to mine.” Alessa explained and his eyes widened in shock.

Nathaniel answered. "Okay, I'll do just that." His mom responded. Few seconds later his father's voice came up. "Hello Nathan, what is it?" "Dad. I have something important I need to tell you." Nathaniel sounded urgent. "What is it? Hope there is no problem with my company?" His father asked. "No, I want to take a leave. I.. I have something important to do back in Washington. You know Isabella Asher Queen right? The current heir of Queens empire?" Nathaniel asked.

I frowned, trying to slow myself as I shoveled food into my mouth. “I think that man is my dad. I saw my mom in his memories, they were together for some time. It was before he found his mate, and she hers.” Helena whispered, her eyes down on her plate. “He was an Alpha, Rachel.” My chewing slowed, and I eyed Helena in an entirely different light. With our species, an Alpha’s firstborn is always his strongest. They’re always the fastest, strongest, or most cunning. It doesn’t matter whether or not the couple are mates, but that first child, it means everything.

Loud enough for everyone to hear. "Thomas." The Heir froze. Immediately. Then the man continued. "I have crossed an ocean to meet you." Silence. Then: "Will you greet your brother?" The world stopped. Completely. Then Thomas blinked. Once. Twice. Then: "What?" The stranger smiled wider. Then pointed directly at him. "The First Heir was not your ancestor." Pause. Then: "He was your father." Nobody breathed. Nobody moved. Nobody understood. Then the stranger laughed softly.

After that, he stood up and bellowed furiously, "Whoever can recover the treasure tower is definitely the top contributor to the family and can ensure the family's prosperity! It's reasonable to make him the head of the family!" "But... But..." Julien begged, "Father, ever since you took the position, I've been the first heir for years, and my eldest son, Royce, is the second heir to the family. We've been trained and educated as heirs for years. If some lucky bastard accidentally finds the treasure tower somewhere, wouldn't all our efforts over the years be in vain? T-This is unfair..."

I said again, my voice steady, ringing across the chamber. Elder Darius leaned forward in his seat, studying me with an expression I couldn’t read. Kael and Thorne didn’t move, but I felt their tension like a storm bottled inside the room. Celina’s smile was thin and sharp, and Lyra’s eyes glittered with something darker than disapproval. I drew in a breath. “First—my child will be recognized as an heir. Not whispered about, not hidden, not compared. An heir, as much as any born before or after him.”
