Queen of Creatures

Restless Alpha

Darius Underwood pov

Slow down little sprite.” I say to the redheaded beauty running away from me. She’s in a silk short green dress showcasing her long legs and shapely backside. Her long auburn curls flow down her back side sweeping at the top of her sweet backside.I hear her giggle as she speeds up ducking behind trees in the forest. Just as I reach out and grab onto the cool silk of her dress there’s a knocking sound ripping me from the dream yet again. The pounding on my door is coming from my younger brother who also acts as one of my delta’s. Dillon and Devon share the delta roles as-well as that of head trainer.“ Oh Alpha Darius your mother has asked for your presence in the dinning hall.” Dillon singsongs opening my door and entering my room even though I didn’t say come in.

“Stop being a little Sh*t for once and stop calling me alpha we are brothers.” I say pulling my self from the bed and throwing my pillow at Dillons head. Annoyingly so he catches it as I make my way to the closet and get dressed in black jeans and a white t shirt. “I was just trying to be respectful dear brother. But on a serious note we do need to speak of the alpha convention and how we are going to handle everything. Dillion continues as he throws my pillow back onto my bed. “Mom said don’t piss off your brother this early in the day.” Valentina, my little sister, says coming through my door and plopping down on my bed her long brown curly hair hitting Dillion as she passes. “Not a single soul was talking to you pipsqueak.” Dillon says flicking Valentina in the head. I shake my head knowing thats gonna get him in trouble. Those two fight like cats and dogs as I go into my bathroom to continued getting ready.

Lycan Zues> Your brothers gonna end up getting killed. He says growling in my head

Vampire Arrow> I’m not sure if I’ll miss him. Although he is your brother. He says with a groan

Darius > he is OUR brother and yes WE would miss him some what. I would like to talk about what our dreams have been plagued with lately. Who is that woman. I say confused to my inner spirits.

Zues > I wish I knew. The only thing I know is I want her.

Arrow> she would make an absolutely delicious mate.

Zues> we have only seen the back of her. Albeit a very pleasing backside it is.

Arrow>I do not care I choose her. We must have her as our mate. He growls out. That growl was reminiscent of a wolf.

Zues> I agree we must find the litte sprite and she will be ours. He growls also I can practically see him licking his chops at the notion.

Darius > Seeing as all of that was a dream this “perfect” mate can be just made up in our minds. We make decisions together and you two seem to have already decided our mate. Now leave me to go and handle this alpha meeting situation.

Zues > I apologize but the dream girl is fascinating. I will remain close at the back of your mind I don’t like that Lord Zamir. Although I do feel kinship with his Lycan.

Arrow>I don’t know I do find him familiar in a weird way. We shall keep our eyes and senses open once we are in New York. That’s the last thing said when they leave me to my own thoughts. Lord Zamir is an old ally of my parents and his son is the one to come to this years Alpha meeting. He is like me a hybrid. Both of us being Vampire and Lycan. Even though our parents are only one of the supernaturals. My parents are both wolves but I was granted a Lycan spirit and a vampire spirit when I was a mere pup. The pack originally believed that my mother cheated with a vampire which is laughable because I look just like my father. Most speculate that the goddess Selene blessed me with another spirit for a purpose. Since my birth the pack has only grown with strength and numbers. The Midnight Moon pack located in Michigan is my legacy. We have over 4 thousand members now. 1500 of them warriors and more than enough being trained to be. I took over as Alpha 4 years ago when I was 22. It’s been damn near 8 years since I was 18 and I still haven’t found a mate or Luna. My Lycan and vampire believe it has taken too long and are becoming restless .

Most wolves and vampires both find their mates at 18. I shake my head from my inner thoughts walking back into my room. Valentina has Dillon pinned to the floor with one arm pulled behind his back and one of her arms pushing his head into the carpeted floor. “ You’re getting really good at restraining your victims Val.” I say walking by and dropping a kiss to my little sisters forehead. “I do have some of the best trainers big brother.” She sings out happily jumping up from Dillons back and brushing her self off. “ You held me pretty good little sister but Also remember to not drop your weight completely and to keep the arm over stretched.” Dillon says hopping up and patting Val on the back. She smiled up at him and threw her arm around his waist in a side hug. Those two are strange I think to myself. I leave them in there moment and walk down the hall to the stairs. I make my way into the kitchen the smell of waffles, bacon, sausage, and muffins evade my nose. There is a spread of breakfast food at the main table. My mother makes sure the family eats breakfast and dinner together everyday. By the look of the waffles on the table Mrs Carnell our in house Head Omega cook has had a hand in making breakfast. I look at my brothers Declan and Devon sitting to the right of my father Derion Underwood a spot left at the front for me.

To the left sat my mother Valencia next to her will be Valentina and Dillon. Speaking of the two devils they stroll in behind me taking their seats. I grab a muffin on the way to my seat. “ Don’t do that you weren’t raised by wolves.” My mothers says popping at my hand. My dad lets out a bark of laughter along with my brothers saying. “Well hunny technically he was.” My mother throws him a glare but has a little smile on her face. “We need to discuss the alpha meeting son. You are attending this year and need to be prepared. Many will try to strike at you for not having a Luna and you must keep your temper in order.” My father continues on. “I usually don’t allow business talk at the table but son I want you to watch yourself at this meeting. Some of those Lunas are dreadfully shameless and will throw them selves all over you. Watch out for there companions also most of them just want power and to ride an Alpha.” My mother says with her Spanish accent getting stronger with her anger and disgust at the mere thought. I let out a grunt while my brothers start laughing. “ Mother please never say the words ride an alpha. I don’t need to hear my precious mother say such things.” Dillon says grimacing. “ I mean I had to ride an Alpha for you all to be here.” my mothers says. My father gives out a bear laugh snatching my mother up and placing her on his lap. “ I would love for you to take another ride my dear.” He says giving her a searing kiss. “ Ewwwww you two are NASTY we don’t need those images daddy and ugh that’s gross mom.” Valentina says with a disgusted look. Dillon has his head down. Declan face is green and and Devon seems to have chocked on his orange juice next to me. I give him a clap on the back helping to clear his throat. “ Thanks for spoiling my appetite Mother.” Declan says giving a disappointed shake of his head.

My mother doesn’t even look sorry she just giggles and gets more comfortable in my fathers lap. It’s gross but at the same time I love the way my parents love each other. My Father may be one of the most elite ruthless alphas but the way he adores my mother and takes care of his family is outstanding. The man puts family and his pack above all. He was busy when we were younger but always had time to shift and give us rides on his wolf (Tarek )or play a game. I mean the man would dress in a tutu just to have tea parties with Valentina. I mean my brothers and I would also get dressed up for those parties I mean heck there was real cookies. You’d miss out because Mrs. Carnell makes the best snickerdoodle’s a kid could ask for and they where always present for a tea party. All I know is I want a relationship like that with my mate and children.

“Son I want you to also have a good time while you’re there so relax once the party happens. You are to tense sometimes and I don’t like that. Take this time to be calm and away from the pack. I want you to take your brother and beta with you. Your Gamma and deltas can take care of the pack while you’re gone.” My mothers says once we’ve all composed ourselves and continued eating. “ Your mother and I can handle an any other things while you are gone.” My father adds on. My brothers Dillion and Devon nod there head in agreement. My sister clears her throat “Uh mother what about what I asked about.” She gives my mother a pointed look

“ Oh yes your sister will be going with you” she starts to say but my father tried to interrupt her and she gives him a glare that even I would sit back and shut up. Valencia Sanchez Underwood is a very kind and giving woman but has a very tough back bone. “ Her birthday a couple months ago was destroyed due to that Bastard alpha Hendrix ordeal. Instead of a nice 18th birthday with her brothers and father taking her out. She was here in the panic room praying that her family would survive. So I think it’s a good makeup gift and it would be fun for her to travel with her brothers to New York.” She continues “ I just don’t want my little girl getting hurt. She isn’t old enough to be traveling to one of these meetings those men are rough and disgusting.” He sighs out.

My mother tries to argue back with him but I cut her off “ I do remember the fist time you took me to one of these meeting I was 10 and Declan was 9. I would suggest you not even try to bring up the fact she is a woman because Valentina has a Lycan just like me. She is capable of protecting her self and will have Declan, beta Isaiah and me to protect her. She is 18 and it would be a great experience for her. She won’t leave my side nor Declan’s .” I explain. Valentina smiles at me getting up to stand in between my self and father. “ Daddy I am old enough to protect myself. Plus you and my big brothers have trained me since I was a pup. I will be safe I promise I won’t leave there side.” She gives him the puppy eyes. And by the way he sighs we all know he’s giving in. “Promise me you’ll be safe and watch your back. Call me every night I don’t care if you’ll only be gone two weeks.And you two knuckleheads keep your eyes on my little girl.” He says as Val claps her hands and hugs him and mother around the neck. “ Wow no restraint what so ever pops your slipping. Val will be with us at all times I promise. Plus she beat the beta and me in training yesterday she is strong enough to protect herself.” Declan states shaking his head. “Well now that that’s settled I need to take your sister shopping for this trip and you boys need to iron out some last details.”mother says rising from fathers lap giving him one last kiss grabbing Valentina’s hand and making their way out. Mother and Valentina will surely make a sizable dent in the bank account today. Who am I kidding we wouldn’t be able to tell. Not with the companies we run giving us and the pack Enough funds to live very comfortably.

“ Boys I want you to be all on your toes. Your mothers has gotten visions of a dragon and it’s coming for you Darius. Keep your head on a swivel and make allies not enemies. That means getting along with Lord Zamir and his vampire brethren.” Father goes on once the girls are gone.

“I don’t have a problem with him I promise. He just so high and mighty for someone who is also like me a half breed with no mate.” I say grudgingly

“You are not a half breed Darius. The moon goddess gave you a vampire spirit and Lycan for a reason. I believe all my sons are destined for greater things. Your mates are going to be spectacular when the time comes. Whatever Woman or man the moon goddess has paired you with is destiny. Hell even your sister has some mate out there for her which I plan to tear apart the moment I meet them.” He amuses us even though we can tell he’s joking on the last part a part of him is deadly serious.

“ Darius and I will be fine I’ll play referee when it comes to him interacting with lord Zamir or Alpha Hawkins of the dark mist pack.” Declan placates. There is a collective growl at the mention of Dark mist new alpha now that we have Hendrix locked up. The man is no better and claims to not of known of his alphas activities even though he was the beta. “ Enough of that Dillion and Devon will assume the role of caretakers for the pack with father at their side. I trust both of you can handle that along with the continuation of training. Mother can take over leading the female warriors in training along side Odessa Albright she is showing promise in becoming a head tracker and warrior. Gamma Paxton will be here also to over see over the pack. He will also be spear heading the construction company .We leave in 3 days to New York. Keep me updated and I will keep you all updated as well on any new allies or enemies we gain.” I say trying to wrap this meeting up.

My beta Isaiah should be here but he is currently at home with his mate Olivia because Felix Darius Wilcox their son was finally released from the hospital. One of the rogues had got to him when we captured Alpha Hendrix. I tore the rogue apart but was to late to stop him from breaking Felix’s arm. Felix and Amaya are my god kids and I would do everything to protect them. I make my way over to there house built beside the pack house. “ Hey Darius I heard you’re going to New York. Would you like a companion.” Jenny one of the packs highly promiscuous woman ask me. Her and her friends try to sleep with the pack higher ups to gain power and position. She lays her hand on my arm and Zues snaps from the back of my mind ready to tear into her. I can even hear Arrows hiss of condemnation at the thought of bedding Jenny a blonde headed succubus. I dated her when I was 17 but knew she wasn’t for me so I dumped her. It’s been eight years and she still try’s to get with me. I kissed her like 3 times but never slept with her even though she tried it many times. “Don’t touch me with out my permission. No I will not be needing any companionship on this trip. Go find another companion. Take your friends and leave also stay away from my brothers .” I growl out pushing her away from me. She slinks away along with the others.

I continue on my path waving at the pack members as I go. I walk into my betas house unannounced. Amaya comes running into my arms screaming out uncle Darius. She is the cutest little munchkin with her Curley brown hair and brown eyes. She has her mother complexion but her fathers unruly brown curls. Her brother and her are twins the only difference is he has his mothers black hair and green eyes. “ Uncle Dari I have the bestest big brother in the worlds he saved me from the bad men. But he gots his arm hurt doing it.”she scrambled out with a cute little smile that shows her two front teeth are missing. I smile at her keeping her in my arms and walking down the hall to the twins rooms.

I step in to see Olivia and Isaiah at the foot of Felix’s bed. When he sees me he sits up more and smiles. “Uncle Darius I was brave and fought of the mean rogues so mya was safe.I was gonna get him but thank you for saving me.” He says smiling at me. Amaya wiggles in my arms signaling she wants to be put down. Setting her gently on the floor she moves over to the bed crawling in next to Felix and grabbing his uninjured arm. “ You’re my little warrior I knew you’d protect little mya. How are you feeling.” I say coming over to the bed and rustling his hair. He give me a toothy smile and a thumbs up with his healed broken arm.

“ Thank you so much Alpha I don’t know what I would of done if- Olivia begin but I cut her off going to the end of the bed and pulling her into a sisterly hug. “ None of that Alpha stuff . You’re like a little sister to me and your my best friends mate and mother to the greatest godchildren a man could ask for. I wish I could’ve done worse to that rogue.” I say letting her go. Isaiah stands beside his mate a look of defeat on his face. He feels guilty that he couldn’t get to Felix in time. I pull him in for a brotherly hug and pat to his back. “ I came over to check on little man and tell you about us leaving to New York. I know this couldn’t be at the worst time brother but we must attend.” I say sliding my hands into the front of my Jean pockets.

I feel terrible about this but it’s to late to pull him out. “ it’s not a problem Olivia and I have already asked your parents to take care of Felix and Amaya while we are gone. Felix is fully healed and back at home now his last check up was today and they said everything is good. We just need to pack.” Isaiah says back a small smile on his face.“. No way we get to stay with Gg and gramps for two whole weeks. Gg will do my hair in those pretty braids again and gramps let’s me play tea party with him.” Amaya says jumping up onto the bed but somehow still being careful as not to jostle her brother. Felix follows right along with her jumping onto the bed and yelling out “ Yess yes yes Gg makes the best brownies and Mrs. Carnell makes the greatest cookies. I can’t wait for gramps to tell me stories about our grandparents.” He jumps down from the bed going to hug his fathers leg.

I love that they call my parents their vey grandparents also . Seeing as Olivia grew up an orphan after a fire took her entire family when she was 7. Isaiah’s parents Felix and Kathleen Wilcox where sadly killed in a rogue attack a year after the twins where born. “Yes you two will get to go but I need this room cleaned and clothes picked out for you to wear. I want you two on your best behavior for The Underwood’s.” Oliva says clapping her hands together. She gives Isaiah a look clearly signaling for him to talk to me. We walk out of the room to the sound of childish giggling. “ I can’t thank you enough Man. I didn’t even realize my own to children were gone till Olivia mind linked me.

I found Amaya in a tree on my way back all she could do was cry and say how Felix told her to run and climb. I barley made it back in time to see you kill that sac of s**t. I mean who hurts an innocent child I- he begins ranting but I cut him off “ I’ll say it again. You’re just like one of those knuckle-headed brothers I have. You’ve been my best friends since we where pups. You made me the godfather of your children. We aren’t human and don’t do things like that but you made sure it was done. Felix is named after me and Amaya is my little warrior princess. I love those kids like they are my own. You have no need to thank me or feel as if you failed. Just go back there and tell that mate and family of yours how much you love them. I’m gonna head back up to the house. Valentina and my mother will most likely come by and swoop Olivia up into there shopping spree.” I say breaking the tension.

Isaiah finally smiles bigger giving me a nod of his head and goes back into the bedroom and more laughter spills out from all of them as I make my way out of the house. I can’t wait for that to be me and my family. The time will come I think as I go about the rest of my day.
