Alpha's Found Daughter

Chapter 6

"Look how beautiful you are! It's like a little princess is standing in front of me!" Lauren exclaims as she finishes dressing me with a big smile. Daddy is already at the party he decided to throw so he can welcome all the pack members, even though I wanted to go with him and cried a little I still had to let him go without me because Lauren said I had to dress up. Lauren takes hold of one of my small hands and walks me in front of the full length mirror in her bedroom so I can see what I look like, a huge grin covers my face as I stare at the pretty pink dress, the bottom puffs out just like a real princess' dress would and there's a matching pink bow in my red hair. My hair is nicely curled, when I saw the curling iron I fought with everything in me to keep Lauren from coming near me with it but now I'm glad she was able to hold me down long enough to put slight curls in my hair.

"Pretty Princess!" I say as I excitedly clap my hands then twirl around keeping my eyes on my reflection.

"That's right you're a pretty princess." Lauren happily smiles as she watches me twirl. "Oh be careful!" I start to stumble and Lauren hurriedly catches me before I'm able to fall on the floor. Being only three I don't exactly have the best balance so there's a lot of falling accidents which is one of the reasons daddy holds my hand when I walk.

Regaining my balance my neck tilts up so I can look at Lauren. "Daddy like?" Since daddy was so happy I finally talked earlier I decided it was best to try to talk as much as I can.

"Of course he'll like it, you're the prettiest girl in the world." I giggle at the compliment. "Alright sweetie we have to get going, we don't want to make daddy wait do we?" I shake my head no, right now me and Lauren are the only ones in the house cause Uncle Trace and Uncle Luke left when daddy did. They told us that as soon as we're dressed and ready then come to the party cause the party is for me.

Lauren reaches her arms down and gently picks me up, every time I'm being picked up or put down I'm treated like I'm a breakable piece of glass. Once she's satisfied that I'm a position that she won't drop me or I won't fall she carries me out of the room to go downstairs. Nobody lets me go down the stairs on my own, after living here for a week I woke up by myself and it scared me a little so I climbed out of bed to search for daddy. Picking up his scent near the stair case I slowly went down the stairs making sure I had a tight grip on the railing but somehow I lost my balance and went tumbling down the stairs. Hearing my small body thudding against the stairs everyone rushed to get to me and when daddy caught me I cried for a good thirty minutes til I was bribed with ice cream and a new toy to stop crying.

Once we make it to the bottom of the stairs Lauren stops and sets me on the floor. She then bends down to my height with an odd look on her face, it's a look that I've grown used to that usually means she has something to say and isn't sure how to say it. Putting both of her hands on my shoulders her blue eyes meet my green ones. "Did daddy tell you what's going to happen at the party?" Furrowing my brows I try to think back to everything daddy has said today and all he really told me was the whole pack would be there. Noticing my expression Lauren sighs. "Alpha is going to officially introduce you to the pack as his daughter. That means he's going to talk to everyone with you being right by his side." My eyes widen hearing this. "Don't be scared, they are all nice and will be very happy to meet you, you have to pretend to not be afraid for your daddy. Do you understand." I nod my head.

Giving me a smile Lauren stands back up then holds her hand out to me, taking a deep breath I take her hand and let her lead me to the back door. As we get closer to the door I can hear the sound of a bunch of people talking, at just how many voices I hear my palms start sweating and my heart begins to race, knowing how I'm feeling Lauren gives my hand a small squeeze telling me everything is going to be alright. Slowly she opens the door and loud creak echos around us, as the door opens more and more people quieten down as all eyes turn straight to me.

At the hundred or more sets of eyes on me my body freezes in place, Lauren tugs on my hand in attempt to get me to move but I'm rooted to the ground. Tears start to form in my eyes, I want to act strong for daddy but I don't think I can. "Emma." Hearing that familiar voice my head snaps in the direction it's coming from, near a table stands Uncle Trace, Uncle Luke and daddy. Daddy gives me an encouraging smile, as if all the people around me suddenly disappeared I have to courage to move and take off running to daddy with out stretched arms.

"There's my girl." Daddy says as he bends down and holds his arms out as my little feet rush to him. When I get close to him I fling myself into his awaiting arms, he easily catches me with a chuckle and gives me a loving hug. As my arms clutch onto him he slowly starts to stand up keeping a tight hold on me while moving his hands so he can hold me properly.

Tugging on the sleeve of his shirt he raises a brow in question at me. "I princess?" Laughter escapes from Trace while daddy just gives me a big grin.

"Of course you look like a princess because you're my princess." He gives me a kiss on the cheek making me giggle as the stubble on his chin tickles my face. Luke comes to stand next to us and gives me a pat on the head while gently smiling down at me.

"Alpha it's time." Trace's expression is serious as he addresses daddy.

Daddy sighs then looks down at me. "Alright I need to tell everyone about you so I need you to be brave and a good girl while I talk to the pack okay?" I just nod.

Daddy starts to walk towards a small wooden stage that I've saw in the backyard a thousand times, Trace said it was used for someone to make announcements on, mainly daddy was the one to use it. As we pass by people they all gradually stop talking as they notice we are heading to the stage, I get extremely uncomfortable as all eyes are once again going to me, unconsciously I clutch daddy's shirt tightly and fight to keep myself from burying my head into his chest. Most of the people are giving me friendly smiles but there are a few who seem confused, trying to figure out what their Alpha is doing carrying around a small pup and going to the stage with her.

Making it onto the stage daddy goes straight to the microphone and clears his throat getting the attention of every werewolf. "Hello everyone. Tonight I have arranged this party for more than one reason." With a serious yet calm face he looks at all the faces in the crowd. "For those of you that don't know, this little pup is Emma. Two months ago I found her in the new land we acquired and brought her here." Half the crowd nods their heads knowing who I am. "Well for a long time now I've saw her as my daughter, my wolf claimed her shortly after I brought her here." A grin crosses his face as he continues. "Today Emma started to finally talk, her first word was daddy, she has accepted me as her father." Loud cheers and applause breaks out in the crowd, from what I know daddy is just like me, he doesn't have any family and now we have each other and the pack is happy their Alpha isn't alone anymore. After a few minutes daddy raises his hand and everyone shuts up awaiting his next words. "Since Emma now sees me as her father I would like to announce that she is now my heir and will be your future alpha!" All the werewolves went wild with cheers.

One voice cut through the joyous crowd making everyone tense and shut up. "Alpha Tyson that pup is just an abandoned rogue, she's not fit to be a future Alpha. If you expect me or anyone else in the pack to accept that thing as our Alpha in the future you are wrong!" My head snaps in the direction of the angry voice, the crowd parts making way for a very pretty brunette that's probably around daddy's age which is I think thirty.

Immediately I'm placed on the ground. Looking up at daddy in confusion as to why he put me down I take a few steps back, his eyes are gold meaning his wolf is not happy. "Lena I'm warning you, don't say another word." He grits out through clenched teeth.

She just scoffs. "I'm just stating the truth, nobody wants to follow a pup that isn't a blood relative of their alpha."

I run as fast as I can to the few steps leading up to the stage, after daddy's outburst earlier I want to far away if he gets that mad again, Lauren hurriedly grabs me and holds me close to her chest, her eyes are wide as they flicker between the woman and daddy. Looking back at daddy I see him start to shake, just like earlier his claws came out, his teeth grew and fur started to sprout. My hands flew to my ears as a ground shaking roar leaves daddy, with wide eyes I watch as he jumps off the stage storming to the brown haired woman, her face turns into a terrified expression as he gets closer, every step forward he takes she takes a step back til she trips and falls down on her butt. Before I can continue watching Lauren turns my face away and pushes my head into her shoulder so I can't see what's going on. Everything is completely silent til a girlish scream sounds out which is quickly cut off by a sickening loud snap followed by a thud like someone dropped something on the ground.

"Anyone else have a problem?" Daddy shouts, nobody says anything as the smell of blood reaches me making me scrunch my nose at the gross coppery smell.

A moment later I feel daddy's presence as he gets closer to me, twisting around in Lauren's hold I smile up at daddy. Returning my smile he reaches out to get me but is stopped by Lauren's words. "Alpha, you need to wash your hands." Furrowing my brows I stare at daddy's hands that are covered in red.

He frowns as he looks at his hands then drops them down to his side. "Emma stay with Lauren for a little while so people can meet you, I'll be right back in a minute."

"Blood?" I ask as I keep my eyes trained on his hands.

Lauren pipes up. "No that's not blood, you see that red dessert over there?" She points to a table with food and I spot some kind of food that has a strawberry with some kind of red stuff under it. "Daddy accidentally got some of that all over his hands." This makes me giggle, daddy is always getting onto me about getting food all over my hands and his have more food on them than I've ever had on mine.

"She's right, I have food all over my hands so I have to wash them and I'll come right back." He awkwardly leans down to kiss me on top of the head then races off into the house to wash his hands.

"A lot of people want to meet you, so let's go do that."

Lauren then carries me to where a huge a line of all the pack members is, at our approach they all smile and wave eagerly at me. Trying to be brave I give them a smile of my own and wave back causing most of them to say 'awe' or chuckle. Quite a few members and families greet me before daddy comes back, when he comes he gently takes me out of Lauren's arms smiling proudly at me for not acting scared.

The rest of the night is spent with meeting the rest of the pack and eating all kinds of food I haven't tried yet and there was even dancing. Daddy showed me to dance, he had me stand on his feet while he held both my hands and moved us around to the beat of the slow music, for some reason a lot of the pack members were taking pictures of us dancing, Lauren had a video recorder and filmed us the entire time we danced. It was a great night and not nearly as frightening as I thought, daddy said I can have ice cream all I want tomorrow for being so brave today. My life here so far has been amazing and filled with love, I know it'll only get better as time goes by, thank you moon goddess for letting me meet daddy.
