Chapter 1 Meztli sometimes I wish you were still here I really miss you It's gotten so lonely I have my mom, dad and my friends but my dad’s always busy with Beta duties since the rogues have been wreaking havoc He’s already busy helping Alpha Amith with pack's finances, patrols, meetings, war strategies, and helping Delta Valu with Pack training. Oh and mom can’t really do anything seeing as my little brothers aren’t ready to be born yet it’s making the packs Beta female cranky Meztli. You know my Mom Loves helping out Luna Sally with anything and everything Dad and the Alpha can’t handle (formal and sensitive still doing their best to help when they can), oh and training since they both came from the same pack and are really strong, scary when they wanna be but just wanna make sure everyone is safe and can protect each other. Makes you wonder what it was like with Uncle Orion huh? I wonder how he’s doing? I wonder how you’re doing and if you miss me? Anyways point is the twins are keeping her in bed till she’s due and I think mom’s having withdrawals Little lady’s used to running around and staying busy helping Luna Sally who comes by frequently to check up on mom. Who really misses you by the way I know you would have made fun of the look on her face when they told her she had to go on bed rest she made dad brake into a rare smile. Doctor Dawn was honestly shocked when dad smiled because she had known him since they were kids and according to her it was worse than she said ‘the only time Morgan ever smiled was when Lori had you and when he found out about the other two’ really makes you wonder what life would be like if dad was as cheery as mom but getting back to what I was saying everyone’s busy and no one has time So I’m mostly with Fae one of the strongest pack warriors there is she keeps me company while she helps mom around the house plus she always gives me snacks in exchange for help with house chores that she says ‘is pint size’ Offensive but mom and dad would be proud I sorta think she doesn't mind spending time with me because her daughter who would have been my age if she had survived the rouge attack that happened a few years ago According to her I was 2 years old, so it was before came to our pack Story goes that on that day Wyatt her mate (another strong pack warrior that is talked about during a defense lessons cuz he was crazy strong and a really good enforcer) Well during an attack while defending the pack he had sustained a real bad injury that rendered his legs temporarily paralyzed which put him in the pack hospital for a while and since he was a good dad he would watch Leah when Fae went to pack training and then Patrols. Fae thinks if she had gone to see Wyatt that day before the guard change they might have been safe and still here with her. So when it gets real lonely we appreciate each other’s company, even when Fae gets really sad thinking about them. Sometimes she'll take the day off to visit their resting place and talk to them I’m sure it’s hard since most people can't live on after losing their mate⑊ "Xoila!" My hands stopped when my mom call my name and I answered "Mande, Ma?" "Xoila!!" She must have not have heard me I glanced back to my screen and finished my update for Meztli Hold that thought duty calls. Love Xo⑊ •XOILA• I got off my bed closing my laptop and placing it on my desk. I jump when I catch a glimpse of something in the mirror and do a double take and much to my surprise ugh I'm such a moron It's just my own reflection. I scrunch up my nose at how ridiculous I could be sometimes. But then again you can never be too careful, my mom is nimble I gave myself a once-over seeing my mom Lori’s small stature and skin tone Like me my beautiful mom is a tiny but standing proud at 5'3 with a honey-brown pixie cut, creamy tan-colored skin, and soul piercing mahogany brown eyes But I have Dark brown hair and green eyes like my dad Stark Pine’s packs handsome scary beta 6'3 with broad shoulders built like a linebacker, deep green eyes, really tan skin, short brown curly hair nicely styled back with a stern face and his lumberjack beard He’s where I get my resting b***h face He always looks angry even when he could be bursting with joy. Not everyone gets that but as long as mom, myself, and his best friend alpha Amith get him he probably doesn’t care. I’ve heard the pack wonder how he’s such a good beta But close observation and instantly you would know he’s a big softy worrywart I don’t really get how people don’t notice especially with mom always somehow getting in life-threatening situation that constantly mold him into the perfect right hand man at the drop of a hat He balances out the playful Alpha like my mom balances the levelheaded Luna Alpha Amith our fair and generous leader earned the packs love and respect with his strength and wisdom that has grown our numbers over the years but he slack off so now and the so his duties fall on Beta Ardent (My Dad) and Delta Valu who is the pack's strategist, security expert, and Packs commander drill instructor (dad helps with this too). Luna Sally is the pack equivalent to a female Alpha but is referred to as Luna because female werewolves are more closely connected to our deity and creator the Moon goddess mother of wolves and Vampires alike I stopped looking into the mirror after changing into sweats Like us, they have mates (l'altra meitat) except they drink blood and not sure how it started but our kinds have an eternal feud with vampires our ‘mortal enemies’ I checked my hair then walked out of my room •3rd• Xoila was wearing gray joggers, a Deadpool tee, and her dark brown hair was tied in loose braids going past her shoulders Her green droopy hazel eyes bright in contrast to her dark hair and plump lips lip tint crossed her mind but so did the why specific boys bothered her so much *FLASHBACK* One sunny school day Xoila was sitting under a tree reading a book waiting for Stacy her energetic best friend (the alphas second born child) while on page 236th a shadow loomed over her to page Bewildered she looked up right as she was splashed with soda "UGGO" she wiped her face "You'll never find a mate with dat fat mouth of yours" shocked she looked at Cadmar (the Alphas 1st born) and his two goons Jake and Brice the (Deltas 2 boys) She sighed rolling her eyes about to say something when a foot coming towards Cadmars face at an astonishing speed knocks him square in his jaw followed by a loud crack sending him to the ground. "CADMAR!!!" Landed an angry Stacy, "Leave my best friend alone you fat head butt face!!!" She then walked to where Xoila giggling at the name she called him as she pulled her best bud up " Come on Xo let's get you cleaned up and into your gym clothes" Xoila simply just nodded smiling an the silly insult and started to walk with Stacy when she stopped walking turned to look at Cadmar " I'm telling dad!” His eyes widen in terror and Stacy triumphantly smiled "yah little b***h" Xoilas fought a wide smile that was tugging at her lips while holding hands Stacy just skipped away to the girl's locker room. "Don't listen to my Stupid brother Xo you and I will find mates someday then we won't have to deal with Cadmars bullpoopie anymore" Xoila smiles "I know Stace you remind me every time" *END OF FLASHBACK* •XOILA• "XOILA!!!" my head snapped to my door and I quickly looked around the floor of my "mildly" messy room for my Dino feet slippers. I put them on and run out of my room making my way down the hall to mom's room. I walked in and mom is standing by the window peering behind the curtains clutching her stomach. "Hey Mama what’s the matter?" She looks away from the window for a moment and her eyes suddenly made me feel as if my blood ran cold and it hits below zero when she says "Rouges" My eyes widen and my minds in a panic as I frantically shout "Dads out there!" She lets out a shaky breath and one silent tear rolls down her cheek probably thinking the same thing. Warriors protect the future of the pack Rushing too her side placing my hand on her shoulder her worry apparent and alarming she’s pregnant and shouldn't be under so much stress let alone out of bed Before I could offer her words of comfort her expression falls serious into Beta mode No matter how well she could hide it from everyone else I could see sadness in her eyes her small cold hand gently touched my cheek For a second I couldn't handle the sadness coming from her What's she thinking determination is what I saw next in her mahogany eyes as she said "Xoila I need you to--" Interrupted loud BANGS were heard from downstairs followed by a crash letting us know they’re here and in our house. Fear tore at my nerves as I clutched onto my mom who stared at the door to her bedroom wide-eyed She quickly regained her composure and walked to the walk-in closet pulling me with her as she opened the door. She pulled free from my grip and kissed me on the cheek then moved one of the shoe rack revealing a digital keypad next to a steel-enforced door she typed in a code while I so badly wanted to ask “how come you never told me about something as important as this, like am I, not your daughter?” Ignoring myself mom looked at me as I stared at the door "Xoila I want you to mask your scent before you go in, and remember you have nothing to worry about this door has a special code that only myself, your dad, the Alpha, and Luna know” she paused “Please no matter what you hear don't open the door" I panicked looking at her, this look of finality in her eyes that left no room for discussion made tears well up in my eyes and I threw myself to hug her. Her arms wrapped around me and she rubbed my back"I'll hold them back for as long as I can" My eyes shot up to meet hers and this nagging feeling began to claw at me as I choked "Mom... NO.. you can't--" I felt my chest tighten "Xoila" She interrupted my objections and hugged me as tight as her stomach would permit her. "Mask your scent now" I did as she said sadness burning my chest "I love you Xoila more than anything in this world" her eyes fogged over a tear rolling down her cheek My brave little pup Papa loves you I sobbed when my dad linked me and hugged mom tightly tears burning my throat as I said"I love you guys too" My small mother held me at arm's length and smiled at me as tears ran down her face. "We love you Xoila always” then she pushed me in closing it.
