2726 Words
July 2022 Lucy Today is a day like any other day. Maddox and I get up, I feed him, I bathe him, I feed myself, we get dressed and start on our day. Today we start with the roses and other flowers around our small cabin. Mostly just cleaning up the dead flowers and cleaning up whatever else I could find. Maddox happily played in his nearby sandbox. Despite being a wolf, my little man loved playing in the sand and dirt. I don't mind. Maddox has displayed some magical abilities, but mostly with helping things grow. I love helping him learn his gifts, no matter how small they may be. I know that Maddox will get a wolf, Jade has already sensed the wolf within him. She says he goingt to be the strongest wolf of his kind. Which is rare. The Moon Goddess truly blessed me with my son, despite my anger towards her, I know she has blessed my little boy. Doesn't matter how he was created, all that matters is he is amazing and I love him beyond words. "Okay my lil man, lets go see auntie Lils and maybe have breakfast with her?" Maddox squealed in happiness as he jumped from the sandbox, sending sand flying everywhere. I giggle at him before he runs over and jumps into my arms. I wrap my arms under his butt and lift him up. He wraps his arms around my neck and plants a giant sloppy kiss on my cheek before bouncing in my arms. "Auntie lil! Auntie Lil!!" He chants over and over as we leave our little slice of heaven. It didnt' take us long to reach the pack house. We weren't technically allowed here, however, no one ever bothered to stop us knowing full well that Maddox was the Alpha's son. Cristian hated it when we paraded ourselves around the pack house like we owned it but honestly, he didn't dare say a word against me. Not after what happened when Maddox was six months old. FLASHBACK The light bulbs in my cabin begin to flicker as my anger continues to rise. Here I am holding my six month old son Maddox and his sperm donor is here yelling at me to let him take him back to the pack house for the night. To spend the night with him and only him. Lilliana, no matter how much she loves Maddox, she also hates that he was born through r**e. She didn't want to bare any children from Cristian simply because of how cruel he is and has been to her. "HE'S MY SON TO LUCY!!!! YOU CANNOT KEEP ME FROM BONDING WITH HIM!!" Cristian screams at me. Maddox starts to cry and I lose him. My hair begins to float as my power exudes from my every cell. My eyes glow bright red as I begin to lift off the ground. Cristian instantly takes a step back, "I beg your pardon Alpha?! You dare command me to give you time with MY son?! You have no rights to demand anything from me! And nor will you ever again!" He goes to speak and my eyes glow and he suddenly finds himself without a voice. He struggles to breath as I use my magic to squeeze his windpipe. He gasps and chokes as he realizes just how powerful I am. I have kept my magic hidden from him and from everyone. Not e en Lilliana knows of my true powers. She has an idea but she truly has no clue. I feel myself start to calm down and I release his windpipe. He gasps loudly as he drops to the ground. He cowers before me as I step closer. I press my foot against his d**k and he gasps. "Also, you tend to forget Alpha. I hold all the power. Not just magically but physcially as well. How would your precious Werewolf King feel is he knew you were r****g any prisioners you wish? And that you let your men r**e them as well." His eyes go wide at my words before he glares at me again. "You wouldn't dare! You wouldn't even know who to contact to get a message to him. You're a witch!" He screams at me. I let out a cackle so evil he recoils from me. "You really think I don't know who to contact? Not to mention the fact that I can make any wolf do what I want whenever I want. Care for a demonstration?" My eyes glow red again and a moment later Cristians punches himself in the nuts. He lets out a loud groan as I step back. He crawls away from me and I simply cackle again. "Now GET OUT! You are not welcome here unless you ask permission first. Don't make me put a barrier around my home so that you will never see my son again!" He very quickly got up and ran out of the cabin. I calmed myself down and put Maddox to bed. END So no one bothers me any more when I try to enter the pack house. Having a warm shower or enjoying their entainment centers or anything fun really is not a possibility. After I gave birth, Lilliana would sneak me into the pack house to shower so that I could clean myself and not risk getting and infection. However, when Cristian found out who it was sneaking me in, he beat Lilliana so bad that she almost died. I healed her without his knowledge but that was the last time I risked anything like that. Lilliana may not be my sister by blood, but she was my family now. We approached the dinning hall and Lilliana was standing outside waiting for us. Maddox jumped from my arms and ran to her, squealing at the top of his lungs. He truly loved her. She was almost a second mother to him. She was the only other person I trust with Maddox besides myself. She bent down and scooped him into her arms and kissed him all over, enticing a complete giggle fit from him. I chuckle at them as I approach. "Good Moro Lils. How was your night?" I notice a few fresh bruises on her arms and she sees me before shrugging. "He got a bit rough during s*x last night but he wasn't as bad as before. But, lets get some breaky! They're serving pancakes and bacon and all of my favourite little mans favourites!" She tickled Maddox, who erupts into a fit of giggles again before I followed them in. Normally the Luna of the pack would sit at the head table with the Alpha, along with the beta and gamma's families. But, Cristian preferred that the women and children sit at a lower table. Most of the men didn't agree with the decision however, they didn't dare question the Alpha. Lillian took her normal seat at the head of the lower table, Maddox sat between her and myself. Not many were too happy I was sitting at the table with the beta and gamma wives and children but no one dared say a word. Omegas quickly delievered our food and as my plate was being placed I leaned over and whispered, "Delieve this potion to Maggie. She's expecting it and knows what to do. And this is for you." I slip the potion and about two hundred dollars into the Omega's apron. Her eyes went wide but she quickly recovered and bowed her head to me before heading out. Lils arched an eyebrow but didn't say anything. We all ate in peace until Cristian approached us as we were finishing up. He glared at me and I just offered him a smile. Maddox waved happily before standing on his chair and bowing "Alpha." He states clearly and Cristian visibly stiffens. From the moment Maddox could talk he never called Cristian daddy or daddy. As soon as he knew the word Alpha, thats all he would call Cristian, no matter how many times Cristian tried to correct him. I never encouraged it nor did I discourage it. I let my son call whoever, whatever he wanted. Hell half the time he calls me Mummy and the other time he calls me the Milk bringer as I am still breastfeeding him. Cristian cleared his throat as we all turned towards him, "Luna, Witch, I need both of you in my office as soon as you have cleaned up my son." He enounciates the word, thinking it would bother me and I just rolled my eyes. I can't make my son love him or call him dad. That's not something I will ever force on him. "Of course Alpha. Please give up fifteen minutes to get Maddox cleaned and changed, then we shall meet you in your office." Lilliana answers for us. Cristian merely nods his head before he turns and leaves. Both Lilliana and I start to giggle at our interaction. We quickly head up to Lilliana's room and get her changed into something more 'appropriate' for an office meeting with the Alpha. We give Maddox a quick bath and get him all cleaned from the syrup and just change him into a onsie and some pants. He looked cute as a button as we left her room and headed up to the office. Lillian straightened her clothes and took a few deep breaths, I reach out and give her shoulder a quick squeeze to calm her nerves before she knocks and we called in. The moment we stepped in I frown deeply. Not only is Cristian, his Beta Ash, Lilliana's Gamma Xavie, and another man that just reeks of authority. Lilliana bows instantly to the strange man before straightening. The man motions for us to take a seat. I'm wary but I grab a chair and sit as far away from the strange man. Maddox curls up against me, sucking his thumb as he stares at the stranger. "Witch this is the Alpha King's Betta Malcome. The King's territory has been-" Cristian is cut off by the Beta as he stands, grabs a nearby chair and pulls it in front of me. He crosses his legs and looks at me. I glare slightly at him as he stares me down. I hold his stare as I tighten my grip on Maddox. I wasn't afraid of this man, nor would I ever let him think I am. After a few minutes the Beta chuckles and nods his head in approval, "Like Alpha Cristian said, I am Betta Malcome. You may call me Mal. Now, the King is not thrilled I am here, however, at the last meeting Alpha Cristian raved about the powerful witch that has sided him with and had created a barrier spell that alerts the guards, as well as yourself whenever a witch or non-werewolf enter his territory. Is that correct?" I arch and eyebrow at Cristian who bites his lip and looks away. Maddox starts to get fussy and I hand him off to Lilliana. "He's ready for a nap. Take him home and I will be there within ten minutes. If i am not there in ten minutes call me." I give Maddox a kiss and he snuggles into Lilliana who nods, bows and quickly exits. I knew she wasn't comfortable with this conversation and wanted an out and my son was her favourite out. I wait until they're gone before I return to my seat. I cross my legs, close my eyes, take a deep breath before I open them. My eyes are now bright red and the Betta takes half a scoot back. "Now, what he says is correct. To be fair, it's not like I had too much of a choice. Now did I Alpha?" I sneer the word causing Betta Malcome to look up at Cristian before returning to look at me. "That I will deal with later. But obviously you are a powerful Witch. Now, my King is not thrilled I am here, however, there was an attack on the kingdom by the witches. Sadly, they attacked a school, thirty four children from the age of three to twelve died in that attack. We need something to alert our warrior. It took far too long for us to become aware of the attack. Had we had some sort of alarm system in place, perhaps no children would have died." He choked on the last word and I had to fight the urge to reach out to him. It was obvious that it was a painful attack and honestly it made my blood boil. Being half witch or not, you don't ever attack children. Betta Malcome cleared his throat as he continued, "Now, I was hoping that you would be willing to return with me to my kingdom to perfom the same barrier spell over the kingdom? I won't lie, the King is not thrilled about this however, we can't afford another attack like that. And I know you are a witch so I don't know if you will actually help but, I needed to do something. So, what do you think... Uh... I"m sorry, I never caught your name. Alpha Cristian just refers to you as witch." He turned and glares at Cristian causing me to smirk. I reach a hand out towards him, which he happily accepts, "My name is Lucille. You may call me Lucy. That's what I prefer." I wrap my other hand around his and close my eyes. I take a few deep breaths and focus on his memories. I see the flames, I hear the crying for help, I see teachers and older students carrying out young children and their friends. I gasp loudly as I see a young woman no older than fifteen carrying a small child, maybe three years old out. She was clearly gone and i felt the Beta's panic and pain. "I'm so sorry daddy! I tried to get to her as soon as I could! Oh daddy!" The young woman cries as she hands the toddler to the Beta. I feel his overwhelming grief, yet relief that one of his children were still alive. I release his hand and open my eyes, tears streaming down my face as I look at the Beta. I can see the unshed tears behind his eyes and all I can do is nod. Without warning I stand up and wrap my arms around the Beta. He let out a silent sob, knowing full well that I knew. He wraps his arms around me for a short hug before releasing me. I look at Cristian who looks like he wants to rip the Beta to pieces. I glare at him, allowing him to see my anger before returning to my seat. "Yes. I will come and help. Anything you and your King need I will do." I look at Cristian who is shaking his head no, without missing a beat I add, "Is that a problem Alpha?" The Beta's head whips around so fast I was sure that he would get whiplash. Cristian just shook his head and the Beta glared at him before returning to face me. "Thank you." His voice cracked before he cleared it, "I will arrange everything and I hope to leave with you in the next day or so. Does that work for you Lucy?" I simply just nod as my phone begins to ring. I pick it up, "I am on my way Lils." I hang up and stand up. The Beta stands up with me and bows at me, catching me off guard. "I will see you soon Beta." He nods and walks me to the door, opens it and allows me to leave. I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding before I started towards home. I didn't know when I would be leaving, but I knew damn well that I wasn't leaving with Maddox. Once I reached my home, Lils ran out to me and hugged. "I was so scared!" I merely laugh and we sit outside and I explain to her all that was discussed and what happened to the Beta. I have no secrets from Lilliana, nor would I ever.
