the cursed baby of Alpha Ashton and Luna Amelia

Two years later the pack house had finally been rebuilt, better then it's original structure.

With a second kitchen and a bigger movie room for all the pack to congregate inside. Ashton had grown almost double in size in the last two years during his training. He was now 6'4" tall, his curls cut off into a faded buzz cut. He was muscular, with ripped arms 6pack abs, his shoulders broad, and his legs thick. He stood there like a chiseled greek god, his thick Italian skin glistening with sweat rolling down his torso. All the she-wolves started in pleasure, practically drooling on themselves. Titan had also been training alongside Ashton and was just as rugged. They were by far the strongest wolves in the pack, or at least in their heads they were.

Titan put up his hand to signal time out during their spar.

" Alpha Ashton, I think we should end for today. I've heard our new pack house is finally finished and I'd like it if we could go see it and check out our new rooms today."

Ashton looked at Titan and smirked.

" My Beta is already curious to see if his office is suitable, or is it if the bedroom is big enough to fit his big head?" He spat out jokingly.

" Oh oh, I'm gonna show you a big head, haha get over here ."

Titan ran at Ashton trying to tackle him to the ground, but he leaped out of the way just in time. Then as he turned to look Titan was lunging down again, but this time to his surprise he was transforming into his Wolf Hadez. Hadez's jet-black fur covered his huge wolf form and when you peered into his eyes. You had two glowing magenta orbs staring back at you.

"Ok I see you Hadez, you wanna Spar with Damen, then I'll gladly transform."

He lunged forward letting Damen take control, he could feel the excitement inside him as he let go and Damen took over. His wolf form grew to four times his human size with beautiful White fur and Glowing green orbs.

Hadez a Damen took their marks as Titan and Ashton's minds linked each other.

(Ashton) "You sure you can take this ass whopping big head?"

(Titan)"Only big head here is your ass, and I'm about to kick it, boy."

Hadez lunged forward jaw open letting out a thundering growl, it shook the training ring with force. Damen stood his ground and waited for just the right moment. leaping up and grabbing Hadez by the throat, slamming him to the ground in one full movement. He then placed his huge paw on Hadez's chest holding him in place, and let out his Alpha growl signaling to the whole pack he had won this spar.

Hadez lowered his head against the mat in defeat and let out a small whimper of surrender.

Ashton shifted back into his human form. "Yea now we know it's you with the big head he mocked."

"Ahem." said a voice from behind. Ashton turned around surprise spread across his face. Beta Henry stood there staring at the two boys a smirk on his face. Shaking his bald head at them in disbelievement.

"You two have grown very strong but are still too immature. How will you lead and protect this pack if you cannot stop playing like children when you are to be training?"

He asked his voice demanding their attention.

Titan stood from the ground.

"Father, we were simply sparing, is it not part of our training?"

Henry looked to his son Who was now standing there naked a growled his authority.

" You can't even seem to keep your clothes on to spar is everything a game to you? Modeus !"

He called over the Warrior walking by.

" Yes, Beta?" Modeus said bowing his head.

"I want you to fight the Young Alpha and Beta to be, show them what a real battle will be like so they are prepared. You will be in charge of their battle training from here on out.."

"But Father ..." Titan went to protest But Henry shot him a look. Titan stopped mid-sentence and simply nodded.

" Ashton you are just as guilty you will fight and train with Modeus as well. when you can defeat the best warrior of the pack then you will spar with me. if you boys can defeat me in spar then you will finally be ready to take over the pack."

Modeus looked at the boys,

' How could two children lead, thank goodness for Beta Henry or we'd all be screwed.' He thought.

" Yes Beta I will train the boys," he stated

Henry nodded in approvement and looked back to the boys. " Get dressed and start your training I'll be back later to check on you."

"Yes Sir." They said together, and both went to the locker room for a change of clothes.

Henry made his way to the pack house, he had a lot of business to go over with the Elder for the Blue Moon Pack now that they were back up and running. Soon as he reached his office he saw his wife Eliza at his desk with a basket lunch. He smiled " Always the loving and thoughtful wife." She turned her head to the doorway seeing Henry enter her beautiful hazel eyes lit up. "Had to make sure you ate something before you met with the Elder dear." She said whisking her dark brown curls behind her ear. Henry embraced Eliza scooping her beautiful thick body up into his buff arms. her caramel skin glowing in comparison next to his dark coffee-toned muscles. She smiled with glee and kissed his lips lovingly." I have to go prepare Lucy for school now dear, tomorrow is her first day of Middle School."

He simply laughed " Yes remind me why we had our pups so spread apart again?"

She shook her head "Easier to keep up with this way."

Just then the Elder came in knocking upon the door with his cane.

" Sorry to interrupt my dear but I do believe the Beta had some business he wanted to go over with me?"

He said almost apologizing as if he'd walked in on something he wished he hadn't.

Eliza blushed as Henry set her back on her feet. " Thank you Hunny I'll see you at supper." He said and kissed her cheek. She nodded and left closing the door behind her.

" Elder I'm sorry for the delay, I believe now was the best time to go over everything beings were back up and running a full again with the new pack house."

"Ah yes, you are correct Beta we need to go over the pack Budget. Recount every member, Reassign the members who belong in the pack house to their new rooms, and make sure the rest have proper housing. Also, we need to set up the Alpha office and assign him the room on the top floor. Hand-pick the omegas for his cleaning and laundry. See too that we have omegas for the kitchen, the laundry the garden. Assign the Dr to the infirmary and make sure the Warriors know of the new plan for patrols and training."

Henry sat behind his desk letting out a big breath. "This is a lot to do but we'll get everything sorted right away you have my word, Elder."

He nodded at the Beta and sat there a moment, his frail old body needing a brake. " Perhaps we'll link the pack in groups and have them come to us?" He suggested, not wanting to admit how tired he was climbing all those stairs.

Henry smiled " Of course, but you do know they installed an elevator just for you right."

The Elder looked at Henry almost pleased.

" I'll remember that next time."

After several hours of training and getting their asses handed to them Ashton and Titan were beaten. A sweaty mess lay in a heap on the floor covered in bruises panting as they had just run a marathon. Modeus smirked down at them standing above them he was in perfect condition. Not even winded. " I believe you two can rest till tomorrow morning now."

He said almost laughing.

Ashton stood " Thank you for training us Modeus, I believe Henry was right it's time I grow up and become the Alpha you and my pack deserves. I promise you I will train my hardest and I will become the best."

Titan stood beside him putting his hand on Ashton's shoulder." You got that right Bro, and I will train beside you and become your right-hand man and the best Beta. No more games or clowning around. I will from now on train my hardest and grow up just as father said."

Modeus nodded in agreement." Then we shall meet back here at 5am for training again. For now you boys go wash up and meet in the dining hall for dinner."

They nodded leaving for the showers. "Hey, Ash let me ask you something?"

"What's up?" He said looking over at Titan.

"Do you think I'll make the best Beta?"

" Titan my father always said the best Betas come from a line of Betas. I wouldn't doubt your abilities man being a Beta is in your blood."

" Yea but my dad's right man, all I have ever done is act like a child how can I help you lead unless I grow up?"

he said kicking at the dirt beneath his feet he just looked at the ground. Ashton smiled and put his arm around Titan.

" Because you took responsibility for those actions and you made the changes. You working your hardest to become the Beta just as I'm working my hardest to become Alpha. we're in this together Titan brothers for life man."

He said extending his hand he smiled at Titan waiting for his response. Titan smiled back and smacked Ashton's hand. " That's right, brothers for life. "

The two boys made it to dinner and then we were shown to their rooms by the new omegas of the pack. Ashton hit the bed hard and let out a growl.

"Uhh mmm. Boy, I'm glad today's over with."

He looked around his new room the walls were grey and blue like the Pack colors. His bed king sized bed was at the far end of the room against the wall, It had a dark stained headboard. The covers were black and at the foot of the bed sat a chest with his school football uniform and gear inside. On either side of the bed were dark-stained nightstands. one had a small lamp atop it.

To the right of the room sat a vanity dresser with a tall mirror. To the left was the bathroom door, inside the bathroom was a huge tile walk-in shower with glass doors and 3 directional spray heads. A jacuzzi tub to soak in. the double vanity sink, a toilet, and in the far corner was the door to a huge walk-in closet.

Ashton looked around his new room for a moment taking everything in the he looked out the window beside his dresser seeing the stars outside. "Mom, Dad, if only y'all could be here to see this. If only you were here with me tomorrow as I start high school and the football team. To be here to watch me and cheer me on and see how much I've grown an become the man I know you'd both be so proud of. I promise you I'll be a great Alpha, I won't let y'all down."

A single tear escaped his eye as he rolled into his side and drifted off to sleep.

Henry still say in his office it was now 10 pm. He spent all day going over everything checking one thing off the list at a time. Linking the pack in groups for each obligation as it was fully filled. he looked over his paperwork one last time seeing that everything was in order, signed and dated, to be filled. " Ahhh finally now that everything is done for today I can go home to Eliza and hopefully she won't be too upset with how late I am."

He stood rubbing his stiff neck. He placed his paperwork in the file and put it in the tray on his desk to be filled tomorrow morning. He then left his office and headed home to his wife. Once home he opened the door. No lights were on concluding everyone had gone to bed he figured he'd quietly sneak inside and climb in bed himself. But to his surprise, the lamp next to the recliner clicked on. He shot a look over in that direction to find Eliza fuming legs crossed sitting in the recliner. He flipped and closed the door behind him fully coming inside the house.

"And just why are you coming home at this hr my husband?" She asked her voice course and her eyes watery.

"Eliza the work the Elder gave me took many more hrs than I had assumed this morning. I am so sorry for coming home so late but please forgive me, I am home now." He said sweetly as he took her hands in his pulling her up from the recliner and embracing her in a warm hug.

She let out a big sigh."Humm. Ok, I guess we can go to bed then Henry but I expect next time you will be home for dinner as you say."

He nodded leading his now sleepy wife to their bedroom.

Weeks of training had gone by. every day Ashton got up at 4:30 a.m. ate his breakfast went over his homework and got his school bag and football bag ready for school. Then went downstairs to train from 5 am -6 am with Modeus. Then he would take a quick shower put on his school uniform and drive to school. it was an hr away but he always made it there before the first period. After school, he went down to the field for football practice, after which he'd shower and change back into his uniform to drive back to the pack house. He'd make it home by 6 pm for dinner, do his homework, and then go up to his office to meet with Henry to go over paperwork for the pack. Then go to bed. On the weekends he only had training for the hr in the morning and then he had to go over everything with Henry for the pack to learn to be the Alpha.

Ashton was getting everything down fast and becoming very strong. Stronger by the day.

Modeus had to up the antic daily now to push him farther and farther.

Come his 17th birthday Ashton was finally able to defeat Modeus head-on.

Titan defeated Modeus just as easily. The boys high-fived they'd done it now they only had to beat Henry in a spar and they'd finally be ready to take over the pack.

"Do you think you're ready my son?" Henry Asked stepping into the ring it was only two weeks till Ashton's birthday now. He'd been sparing Henry for nearly a year and he didn't have much time left to beat him before his birthday was finally here.

"I think this time I'll take you down for sure," Ashton said confidence radiating from all sides. He got down lunging his attack on Henry.

Henry moved but Ashton was faster. Stronger than he ever was he grabbed Henry from behind.

'Whoa wait he was just in front of me how tf did he get over there? ' Henry thought.

Ashton slammed him to the ground and jumped on top of him. Henry grunted out in pain. " Ugh!" Then he flipped Ashton off of him and they fumbled around. Ashton got up lunging again tackling Henry down once more.

Henry let out a yelp as they hit the ground. Ashton pinned him down and growled letting out his Alpha tone to show dominance. Henry put up both hands in surrender.

"Alright boy, you win let me up!" He commanded. Ashton huffed but stood extending his hand and helping Henry to his feet. "So? " Ashton questioned looking Henry over-excited.

" So Young Alpha I am a man of my word, you have defeated me and, therefore you will have your Alpha ceremony on your birthday as planned." Ashton hugged Henry then Titan then Eliza.

"I finally did it I can finally prove to my parents I am the Alpha of Blue Moon Pack." he cried out.

" You don't have to prove anything son you accomplished everything you have ever set out to do you graduated school you ran this pack a defeated me with no issues. Now you will take your rightful claim with the ceremony and officially be Alpha Ashton Blackford." Henry said patting Ashton on the back.

Eliza stepped forward " The ceremony will link you to the whole pack as our Alpha and you will also be 18 so you will have to find your Luna within the year. I will send out invitations to all neighboring packs. Hopefully, you can find your mate sooner." She smiled at him.

"Usually a wolf can sense their mate after their 17th birthday. Beings my wolf hasn't given off any clues to sensing such a mate I've concluded she wasn't a member of our pack or at least it's possible she hasn't turned of age yet to sense a mate bond herself anyway.

Yes ma'am I'll be ready for my ceremony and my mate for sure. Thank you all for helping me with these accomplishments I'll be forever great full to have you as my family, as my pack."

Ashton smiled back at them as they all smiled too him. This ceremony would be the biggest night of his life.
