Challenges of an Alpha's Hybrid Daughter

Checking on the kids

" John, Ella, any change with Grace?," "Nothing yet but Dr Smith has been monitoring her and Paul's vitals. Her heart has been steady and she seems to be sleeping soundly," says Ella. "Ella dear I need to speak to you in private." Vaughn says. "Don't worry Beta Mark is right here and we Know John isn't leaving her side. He is after all her fated mate." "Okay Vaughn we can take a short walk. I really don't want to leave her like this. "

" Love if it wasn't urgent I wouldn't even ask. We'll go to the conference room next door so we're close incase they need us. I got a mindlink from Wendy who in short indicated that Keri knew what happened to our daughter," Vaughn says to his mate. "How would Keri have that knowledge if she wasn't there? I mean from what I understand from Grace that class is strictly werewolf, asks Ella. "That is just it the humans were isolated from the scene and none were anywhere near the place of attack. Also the dart was shot from a long distance that a human would have trouble seeing that clearly. So tomorrow Keri is being brought to the pack lands and you are going to give her truth serum. I need to find out what it is that this girl knows. Gamma Maxwell will bring her on the pretense that she is spending the night. After we find out everything she knows I would like you to cast a memory spell blocking out everything about us and our daughter. Then put her to sleep and take her back home." "You do realize that some of that plan requires a little bit of dark magic. I normally would object and I have my reservations. However our daughter and this pack come first. So if she had anything to do with what happened to our daughter then she should be glad that she is still a minor. I am anxious to find out what she knows and how,"says Ella. "Thank you for being honest with me. I appreciate your concern and sense of ethics. I've been aware for years that you are an honorable and courageous woman with a pure heart. I love you and I'm sorry that I haven't been the mate that you deserve." Vaughn says in a sincere and somber manner. "I love you also. Is there anything else we need to talk about," says Ella. "I'm having a mandatory pack meeting at dinner time in another hour," says Vaughn. "Now let's go see our daughter before I have to talk to the pack."

"Alpha Vaughn, Paul is waking up." says Beta Mark via mindlink. "I am coming back right now. Be right there. "

"Hello Dr. Smith is it okay if I talk to Paul?" "Yes Alpha, just remember he may be a little groggy for a while, but he seems to have sweat out the trace amount of Wolfsbane that was in his system.

"Hey there Paul how are you feeling?" "I am feeling sleepy but I'll be fine how's Grace did he take her? I'm sorry I failed to protect her. Sir that man looked like our visitor John but Grace was certain that it wasn't. When he started to run towards us I covered Grace as best I could. Sir she insisted she wanted to see what he wanted. We didn't see the dart gun until after He fired it. Grace stepped in front of me and was hit before I could do anything. When he shot me next I was mind linking Gamma Maxwell and all I could think was cover Grace. I didn't hurt her by landing on top of her did I." Paul said in one breath. "Woah there Paul. John can you step out from behind that curtain? Are you certain this is who you saw or someone that looks like him? " Paul growls at John, I'm certain of it Alpha. Grace said that she knew it wasn't him because she said that he would never lurk in the bushes and it didn't smell like him." Relax Paul it is okay thank you. John wasn't there because he was with me at the time of the incident. You did help identify the attacker because John here is a twin," says Alpha Vaughn. "Did you happen to see his eye color before he shot you with the dart?"asked Beta Mark. "Sorry no Dad I didn't he was wearing shades." "Now can I see Grace is she okay?" "Grace is still asleep but she should be waking up in the next few hours, answers Alpha Vaughn. No you didn't hurt her she is still with us because you are too big a young man to move quickly. You protected her like the true Beta that you are destined to be. Thank you for protecting my daughter with your life." "Alpha you know how I feel about Grace, she's more than just the future Alpha to me. I'd give my life for her at the drop of a hat." "Grr.. That's my mate you are talking about growls John. I am grateful that you protected her but if anyone is going to protect her from here on out it will be me growls John." "Okay stand down John and remember that these two grew up together.

" It is a good thing you came to see me before surprising Grace, says Alpha Vaughn. We need to find this brother of yours before anyone else mistakes him for you.

"My luna was raised by her mother's evil twin. I don't think any of us anticipated history repeating itself so quickly even with such a twist, explains Vaughn. " What do you mean, asks John. " Ella is a light witch. Her mother was the mother or leader of her coven. Ella's aunt is a dark witch raised by demons. Like you they were seperated at birth, explains Alpha Vaughn. At any rate when Ella's mother died giving birth to her. With a desire for power and revenge Emma raised Ella," explains Alpha Vaughn. " So you are telling me that my destined mate, your daughter, is half light witch and half werewolf." "To be accurate she is half supreme being rightful heir to be leader of all light witches and my heir as my firstborn," clarifies Vaughn.
