AN ALPHAS FALL FROM GRACE

Larry POV

I was worried about the girl's safety. I really didn't want all of these upper class wolves in my hotel. I didn't want to take on this party especially with the girls here and I didn't want to come face to face with my past.

I'm sure he will be here. He wouldn't miss an opportunity like this to prey on another young woman. There was a high chance he would recognize the girls so I was sure to have plenty of back up there just in case and I wasn't leaving them to fight him off alone.

What he did to those girls is unimaginable but I wouldn't expect less from him based on the man who raised him. He was cold and meticulous. Always working behind the scenes not really wanting everyone to know what a true monster he was. I should have killed him when I had the chance but I was too scared to back then. It had cost me everything, my home,the woman I loved and my child. But he didn't stop there. He went after all of my friends and their packs one by one. But they were strong and resisted him. So when that didn't work he sent his personal grup of rogus after them in waves. After that he gave up and they thought they could be at peace and raise their families and live in prosperity. But he wouldn't let the past be even with me living in this human town cutting off all ties with my friends and their packs. No he had to send that miss guided wolf in to take their girls and dishonor the mate bond.

When Jack called to tell me they were having women just appear here out of nowhere on the back road to the woods I knew it was not good. The last one had really hit me hard when he told me that the boys that found her said she was a wolf before turning into a naked woman before their eyes. I'm sure glad he put it as "them being drunk". He is the only one in town who knows our secret being half wolf himself but more human than wolf. I figured all the girls must be then so I took them in with the rest of my misfits who were all supernatural in one way or another. They had all needed shelter and a safe place. Who was I not to pass on the kindness that was shown to me once when I was lost.

When I saw them for the first time I knew he had gone after my friends' kids and that all of my old friends were lost. Pam looked so much like her mother but with her father's strength and head strong like him too. When she protested to let them cover the party and take care of everything I couldn't tell her no. I could just see John and Elizabeth all over again when looking at her.

Kat was just like her father Michael, quick and strong. I had to suppress a belly laugh when she almost took that man's head off for coming into her kitchen. I think I'm the only man she tolerates. I'm guessing that has to do with whatever he put her through. She got her cooking from her mother. Jessica was human but would never turn down a chance to cook one of her family's recipes for us. I could taste her handy work the first time I ate Kate's food. I wasn't sure so I called my old friend and no one answered. I called around and found out they were in a very bad car accident killing Michael, Jessica and their son Lowrance and that their daughter Kat was missing. Unfortunately Kat couldn't go back because she had been gone too long and her pack had completely forgotten about her and didn't want a woman to run them.

Logan was mated to a witch, and not just any witch. She was a high priestess of light and very powerful. Gilda moved her little coven of thirty into his pack and a lot of members found their mate amongst them. Gilda was kind to them all and thought of them all as family. But when Logan was found dead by magic the pack turned on her and burned them all alive even their daughter or so I thought. Sarah looked a lot like Logan with Gildas eyes. I wasn't sure until one night she had fallen asleep on the couch in the lobby and I saw lights dancing around her as she began to levitate off the couch. I shook her awake and felt a power surge through me and when she opened her eyes they were just white light. I knew then that she was my friend's beloved child and she would need my protection. They all did.

What had happened to them was no string of accidents or a series of unfortunate events. He had finally got what he wanted. Anyone who knew the truth were all dead now and the girls had no memory of their life before waking up in the hospital. I'm glad they didn't. They had become like daughters to me and by the grace of the moon goddess I was going to protect them.

I have gotten so caught up in my thoughts of old things that have passed I have totally forgotten why I was out here. A pungent smell hits my nose, smacking me right in the face. The smell of too much smoke, alcohol and expensive cologne. He is here with some overly obsessed women clinging to him for dear life. Fred is with him. He likes to play beta in some cheap bodyguard way. I mindlink Seth.

"Danger just pulled up. Make sure the girls are not seen until the masquerade starts." I don't need a response. I know he will handle everything. I'm just going to wait right here and hope no one takes interest in my girls.
