Broken Alpha by Paulina Vasquez (ebooks online reader TXT) 📕

the training grounds and arena, they were planning on joining my father this afternoon to observe Crescent Moon training. Uncle Ranger, Hades and Peter were engrossed in conversations with Dimitri. I was catching up with my younger brothers Seth and Levi. Roman was discussing his future pack with Rocky's parents, he seemed to have an instant connection with Rocky's little sister Kiki. My mother was gushing about her future Grand pup with Mandi. Odessa, Vannica and Aunt Megan discussed mating ceremony details; Odessa was listening intently because we would need to plan ours for next month as well.

After lunch, Dimitri and I took the wolves out for a run to Crescent point alone. “This is a beautiful location. I can see why it's your favorite spot.” Dimitri mind linked me.

“This is also my families favorite picnic spot.” I linked back.

Rae was enjoying her run with Dom, she kept nipping at his tail and jumping up to nip at his ears. Dom was a gentle giant with her and protective of her condition, though it didn't stop Rae from trying to seduce her mate. She had Dom wrapped around her paw always trying to please her.

Later that evening we all gathered at the village for Dinner. Knox and Rocky had selected Chinese Chopsticks for dinner, which was excellent because I was craving Chinese food. The entire restaurant was reserved to accommodate all of us.

“The first time I took your mother out on a date, this is where we came for dinner.” My father told us.

“WE KNOW DAD!” My siblings and I chimed in unison. He told us every time we came to eat here about their first dinner date. Their love was timeless, my parents would still come here for sleigh rides and dinner dates.

“When your mother was pregnant with Raven, we practically ate here every night.” My father joked. At least, I think he was joking. “I sure hope you have good Chinese food in Greece.”

“Where's the food, I'm starving!” I practically growled.

“I caution you now Dimitri, my little Raven has always been demanding. Gets it from her Aunt Payton.” My father laughed.

“Payton was the worst when she was pregnant.” Uncle Max chuckled and got a playful elbow to his side from Aunt Payton. Dimitri and I just exchanged nervous looks and a giggle escaped me.

Platters of food were placed on the table and it looked like everything on the menu was being served. The platters were being shuffled back and forth across the table as everyone tried a little bit of everything. Niko looked like he was in heaven forking mouthfuls of food into his mouth and I realized, I looked just as bad as him wolfing down my food.

Dinner was almost over when my mother asked the million dollar question. “So, are you going to tell us or make us wait until after our grand pup is born?”

Dimitri coughed, practically choking on a piece of garlic chicken and I stared back at my father like a deer caught in headlights.

“How do you know?” I whispered.

“I'm your mother, how could I not know. And, I could also hear a faint heartbeat when I'm close to you.” She said.

“We umm, well, we wanted to wait. Didn't want to steal any thunder from the excitement of this week.” I managed to say.

The table erupted with congratulations and hugs. Odessa practically jumped onto Dimitri crying tears of joy for her brother. I looked at my father who was still seated as if trying to process what he had just heard. “Dad, are you okay?” I managed to ask.

He looked up at me with glistening eyes. “My baby girl is having a baby.” He said and hugged me tight.

“I should kill him.” My father growled.

“Dad!” I said and my father laughed.

“Are you for real? First Peter and now you!” Knox sounded a little envious and everyone laughed at him. He was the oldest and always a little late to the party.

“Oh no! Now he's got pup envy.” Clair teased and everyone roared with laughter again.

The mating ceremony at Crescent Moon was beautiful and we traveled to Dark Moon two days later for Peter and Mandi's mating ceremony. Mandi was the daughter of Dark Moon's Gamma, Blake. She was actually a twin with her sister Paige. As soon as Alec set eyes on Paige, we knew he had found his second chance mate.

We later found out that Paige was rejected by Alpha Liam's son, from the neighboring pack, because she was gamma born. Blake was happy that she found Alec and was given a second chance. Alec was practically floating on air and couldn't wait to introduce Paige to his mother back home in Greece.

After the mating ceremony at Dark Moon, by older brothers both left for their honeymoons. Peter and Mandi went to Hawaii, while Knox and Rocky went to Barbados. We discussed our plans for next month's mating ceremonies in Greece. Both of my older brothers would be back from their honeymoons and join the family in Greece for my mating ceremony which would be followed by Hades and Odessa's mating ceremony as well.

We were currently sitting in the living room of the LaRue house that my Grandfather, Alpha Knox LaRue, built almost fifty years ago when he claimed Dark Moon Pack. Uncle Max was telling us stories about their childhood and we were all practically in tears laughing. My mother entered the room with fresh flowers in her arms.

“Dimitri. Raven. Will you come with me please?” She asked.

“Of course, let me carry those for you.” Dimitri said and went to unload my mother's arms.

We made our way to cemetery hill and stopped at my
