The day that Charlie was born was a new beginning. Leah adored him all day and all night no matter how much he cried. Alec adored him for all of four hours before he started to cry. Even though the first month of Charlie being born was nothing but crying, Leah was very patient with him. Alec tried the best he could but every time he tried to hold or console Charlie, he would just start crying even more. The only person able to hold Charlie for long periods of time was Leah. Even though it frustrated Alec a little bit, he still kept calm.

Being a parent is a life-changing event. When you finally find your life partner and decide to settle down and start a family; it's a new beginning.

There is the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Like when Charlie took his first steps. Which eventually progresses into Alec chasing Charlie around the house like a mad man trying to put his diaper on.

Or when Charlie had to get stitches on his forehead, and when he said his first curse words because of Alec.

You can imagine how proud Leah was when he said mom first.

It was around when he was seven months old. He was still young, but Alec and Leah's children would all develop physically and mentally faster.

Alec was at a pack and business meeting early that morning, so Leah was watching him home alone. She had to use the bathroom so she put Charlie in a pack n' play.

As sneaky as Charlie was, he crawled out of the pack n' play and began to get into trouble.

Leah found her little mischievous seven-month-old baby finger painting on the walls with his own poop. As disgusted as Leah was, Charlie felt her presence and turned around with an innocent smile on his face like an angel.

"Mommy," Charlie softly said and pointed at her. Leah grabbed her ***** baby and held him at arm's length, leaving the diaper on the floor for now, and carried him to the bathroom.

"Daddy is so lucky he's not here or he'd be doing this." She chuckled to herself at the thought of Alec complaining.

After Leah was done cleaning the baby, she cleaned the walls with bleach and threw away the dirty diaper.

•••••

Jealousy and anger are troubling emotions that any child possesses, and that makes parenting difficult. Charlie was only a year and eight months old when Alec and Leah had their second child.

A baby girl that had blonde hair like Leah with brown eyes. Alec named her Jade. Jade was Alec's first baby girl. His pride and joy. Truth was that out of all his children, her eyes- that resembled his own- could get her anything she wanted from her daddy. He was in trouble because most times when she would look at him, he couldn't say no.

The same day that Jade was born was a great impact on Charlie too.

Charlie cried for three days periodically after she was born, but he wouldn't say why. Eventually, he broke down crying into his mother's arms.

"You're gonna love her more than me." He let out the biggest cry as tears poured down his face. His precious brown eyes seemed to brighten more as his cheeks reddened. His medium-length brown hair was messy by running his hand through it so many times, he had been thinking about this all day.

Leah consoled Charlie and held him in her arms, rubbing his back to help stop him from hyperventilating. When he calmed down a little, Leah preceded to tell him, "Charlie, I love you both the same. Nothing is going to ever change that. You're very special to me." She said.

"You mean it?" He asked.

"Positive."

Leah talked to Charlie as Alec cared for Jade for the rest of the night.

•••••

The following year Alec and Leah had their third child. It was an unplanned pregnancy, but they were still grateful. Charlie was two years old and Jade was one. Their new daughter was named Blaire, who had brown straight hair and green eyes.

Alec and Leah now had three children and their hands were extremely full, they decided to not have children for a while. Although, Grace pitched in whenever she could to help out.

Grace, a kind soul but with bad luck, still wasn't able to conceive children. Even after all the doctor appointments, no one could give her an actual diagnosis or reason why.

She often times got frustrated and felt worthless. Rem, her mate, still loved her nonetheless. He gave her his endless devotion and helped her cope with this the best he could. There were times where she felt depressed and hopeless. When her depression got worse and she started to lose weight again, Rem put up the vodka bottle and the bongs to help Grace to his fullest ability.

No one could ever pull Rem away from his habits, even when Alice talked to him. But Rem gave it all away, and Grace didn't even ask him too. He did it voluntarily.

•••••

Having children changed Alec and Leah in many ways, but Alec's daughter, Jade, seemed to change him the most.

When Jade turned two years old, her parents took her into town to celebrate.

Alec carried her in his arms as they were window shopping. Suddenly, Jade pointed at a cat in the window of a pet store. The same place that Logan was purchased at, a small pang of pain ran through Leah.

Alec and Leah knew exactly what she wanted. Ever since she was able to talk she always mentioned that she wanted a kitten. Yet, she never got one because Alec always hated cats. Not only was it against his werewolf nature but every time he was around a cat, it would attack him.

However, this time Alec actually caved in and let Jade have a cat. After all, how could he say no to his daughter's big brown eyes as they peered at him like puppy dog eyes.

When they brought the small kitten home, Jade called it Snow.

By the end of the night, surprisingly, Jade and Snow were fast asleep in Alec's arms.

The next morning Alec denied even sleeping with the cat, but Leah had pictures to prove it. Perhaps, Alec was starting to like the white, fluffy cat.

Month after month, Alec formed an attachment to Snow. No matter how hard he denies it, he did like the cat after all.

•••••

When Blaire, Leah's third child, and second daughter, was two years old, Leah had another child. His name was Peyton. He had blonde hair and green eyes just like Leah.

Blaire was very accepting and caring toward Peyton. Anytime he would cry she would always give her mother his baby bottle. Even though she was too young she would always try to hold her baby brother.

Blaire was the good child of the group. Always trying to help clean even when she too small, most times Leah would find her trying to sweep the kitchen anyway or mop without water. She was kind and had a gracious smile around everyone. She was not shy and she never told a lie.

Many times during the week, Alec would take his two daughters, who were his world, to the park to play.

When Peyton turned one, Charlie turned five. Turning five was a big deal for a werewolf. It was time for his training to start. Maybe not physically but mentally. Also, decided to start introducing him to vampire venom.

Truly, the younger they were the better. It is less painful to start building an immunity at a young age than when you're older.

Those were some of the hardest days of Leah's life.

The first time when Charlie had vampire venom in his veins, he cried out in pain and collapsed down on his bed. He wasn't able to move for two hours.

The venom that Alec possessed was from Cevielle, the pack witch. She had high connections with elder vampires, and since the venom was from an elder it was more potent. It was a good thing that Cevielle was around because Alec hated vampires with a passion. He entirely loathes them, and nothing would change his mind. He hated everything about them, and the fact that his own mate got attacked by one, years ago.

As months went on, Charlie's screams lessened and finally he was completely immune to it. Those were the times when Leah finally stopped crying after hearing her own child's screams.

Charlie knew that he had to do it. He wasn't forced to, in fact, the five-year-old was pretty intelligent and he knew the world was a dangerous place. Vampires made it more dangerous. They are unpredictable vile creatures with no respect for others.

And when Jade turned five, she started and completed the vampire venom process.

And when Blaire turned five, she started and completed the vampire venom process.

And when Peyton turned five, he started and completed the vampire venom process.

The year that Peyton turned five was also the same year that Leah gave birth to her last child. The youngest baby boy in the family, the one that could get away with murder and the one that was babied, or so his older siblings said.

His name was Kai. A cute little blonde headed boy with brown eyes.

When he was born, Leah and Alec's world was complete. Their family was complete.

Leah's youngest child, Kai, grew up differently than the others.

When he was growing up he never smiled, and he didn't even respond to his name at first. He showed no signs of social anticipation, and no social babbling when he was just a couple months old like the rest did.

Although, his physical abilities weren't hindered like his social abilities. He started to crawl at four months and he walked at six months old, but Leah paid close attention to the different hand motions he made. He would always shake his hands or flip them, and it could worse when he was mad or upset.

When Kai would be upset or mad, even scared, he expressed his emotions in a different way. He would get violent easily or throw things.

When he was around two years old is when he started to show interest in playing with toys. Leah noticed his odd behavior, but she thought he would grow out of it or maybe it would get better. It wasn't until around Christmas time that she knew he needed to be mentally evaluated.

It was December twentieth, four days before Christmas, and the whole family got together. Christie and Chris brought their five-year-old daughter and their two-year-old son. He was around the same age as Kai, so Christie left the two boys in the living room to play, while she helped make dinner. Periodically, the adults would check up on the little ones.

Christie's son, Toby, was fully developed. He was able to walk and talk perfectly fine.

Kai always wanted to be by himself. He hated sharing, communicating, and just being social in general. If it was up to him then he would just be playing by himself in his closet with his legos or finger painting.

So you can imagine the glare that Kai gave Toby.

Toby was another social butterfly, a common trait in a werewolf pack. All Toby wanted was to be friends, he always knew that Kai was cold to him and to anyone in general. Toby watched Kai, who was still in a onesie because normal clothes irritated him, play for a while with his legos and cars, without saying anything to him.

Toby reached for a metal toy car, and when he grabbed it, Kai freaked out.

Kai squealed in anger and grabbed another metal toy car and threw it at Toby's face as hard as he could.

Toby wailed out in pain and grabbed his face. A deep gash was just above Toby's eyebrows and blood seeped out of the wound.

The cry of agony alerted all the adults in the house. Leah and Christie, being mothers were the first ones to rush to the room.

Leah picked up Kai in her arms and Christie grabbed her baby. Leah apologized, "Christie, I'm so sorry. It won't happen again."

Christie didn't say anything to Leah. As a parent, she was a little mad and upset, but she knew that Kai wasn't exactly a normal child. Everyone knew that.

Chris, on the other hand, was more than angry. His eyes were a bright yellow, and he made long strides toward Leah. Leah stepped back a couple of feet and Christie's eyes went wide. Before Chris could touch Leah and her kid, Alec stepped between them and pushed him back. Damon stepped in front of Leah, protecting her as well, with his canines elongated. Chris let out an animalistic growl and bared his teeth at Alec.

Alec growled back as well, but Chris tried to get through Alec again, so Alec grabbed Chris and slammed him through the living table. Alec latched into Chris's shoulder with his teeth and ripped out a small chunk of his flesh. Forcing Chris to Submission, it was over.

When both of them men calmed down, they were breathing heavily.

"Chris, he is just a kid!" Christie screamed, "Why would you do that!"

Chris didn't reply, he just shook his head and walked out the door. Christie looked at Leah, "I'm sorry for everything." Christie apologized looking guilty and grabbed her daughter's hand before they left.

Charlie and Jade, who were ten and nine at the time, volunteered to help clean up the pieces of wood that were once the living room table.

Eight-year-old Blaire was just happy to get rid of the ugly, old coffee table, and six-year-old Peyton was still sleeping in the recliner. It was safe to say he was a heavy sleeper.

Later when everyone calmed down, Alice approached Leah, "Hey are you alright?" She asked.

"Yes, have you heard anything about Toby. Is he okay?" Leah asked.

Alice nodded her head, "I just called. He is fine." Alice looked away. She didn't want to bring this up, but the situation needed to be brought up. "Look, Leah, I hate to say this but I think it's time to see a therapist or a psychologist. Kai isn't your average kid and we've all known this for a long time. Like the kid is a two-year-old and he still isn't talking like he should."

Most werewolf children are about to talk around six months old and they are fully developed at two years old. Kai could speak sometimes, but not in full sentences. Leah tried working with him daily, but he was just slow at talking. Although, he showed great artistic ability and creativity for his age. Regardless if no one realizes it, Kai was actually pretty intelligent. He was actually the smartest kid that Leah had, he just didn't know how to express it through words. At least, not yet.

Kai who was still in Leah's arms clung around her neck and hugged her even tighter. Just because he didn't speak fully, doesn't mean he couldn't understand them.

"I think you're right." Leah agreed.

•••••

A week later, Leah made an appointment with Doctor Ardelean after finding out he had a doctorate degree in psychology. Since he already knew that Kai was a hybrid, it would be easier to see him because Leah wouldn't have to take time to explain his situation.

Leah loaded Kai in the car seat of her red shiny SUV that Alec bought for her birthday two years ago. Doctor Ardelean agreed to meet Leah and Kai at his house since it would be convenient and private for both of them.

"Kai," Leah called her son as she started to drive to Doctor Ardelean's house. Kai actually nonverbal responded to his name. He was slowly getting better. "I love you."

"Love too," Kai said monotonously. Kai seemed to do better around his mother when they were alone. Out of everyone, Leah and Alec understood him the most, but Kai leaned toward Leah the most.

When they arrived, Leah knocked on his door and was greeted with a big smile. "Good morning, Doctor Ardelean."

"Please call me Alin."

Leah talked to Alin, in his office, about all the signs and possible symptoms that Kai portrayed, while Kai played on the floor. He was steadily coloring, not caring about anything else.

"Well, from your description I would say it seems like he suffers from autism, but I don't want to make a hasty diagnosis. So I would like to have sessions for an hour with him. I would like to wait at least one or two years to officially diagnose him. In the meantime, I can schedule speech therapy." Alin said. Alin spent the rest of the time trying to interact with Kai and observing him. Leah stayed quiet and watched her son coloring inside the lines of a realistic coloring book for adults. He never preferred children coloring books.

•••••

Kai was five when he was officially diagnosed with high functioning autism. His speech got better over the years due to speech therapy, but he still never went out of his way to speak to others. He preferred staying to himself and his family, and coloring or playing with legos.

Luckily, the wolf gene did combat with his autism, Doctor Alin said that if he was a human then his autism would be more severe and he wouldn't be able to talk at all.

When Kai was seven, Leah thought it would be a good idea to put him into school. He would go into the first grade at the tri-county school for werewolves. Everyday Leah would drive forty-five minutes in the morning to drop all her kids off at school, and pick them up.

On the first day of school for all of her children, she was more excited then they were. She had all of their lunches packed and was ready to get them out of the door.

"Come on guys let's go!" She shouted up the stairs to her older children.

All five of them packed into the SUV, with Charlie in the passenger seat. All the kids talked excitedly about their first day except Kai. Leah kept her eyes on him using the mirror.

Kai was quiet which was normal. He was overwhelmed already on his first day of school, his other siblings sensed his uneasiness. They tried to include him in the conversations and encourage him to talk as much as possible on the way to the school. They were all very gentle and understanding toward Kai. Kai was like the glue of the family. He was adored by everyone in his family, he was everyone's personal favorite.

The school that Leah's kids were going to was specially built for werewolves, so humans wouldn't know about their secret. It had pre-kindergarten all the way up to the twelfth grade. There were also special education teachers and teacher assistants for students like Kai. Leah checked into it last summer. It was a small class of only three other students like Kai because cases like this are rare amongst werewolves. They would be separated from the main population, except for recess, but a teacher assistant should always be near.

Leah approached the gigantic school, that held more than two hundred thousand students. It was a very intimidating sight at first to humans, but wolves loved it.

The other children left and said their goodbyes to their mom and Kai. Peyton was the last to leave, "I'll see you at recess Kai, have a good day."

"Thanks, Peyton. You too." Kai replied.

Leah and Kai waited a couple of minutes for the teacher assistant to arrive at the drop off zone.

"So are you ready for your first day?" Leah asked excitedly.

"I want to go home." He said enthusiastically. 

"I'm sure you'll change your mind after today. A school is a fun place." Leah tried to cheer him up.

"I'm seven. Not stupid." He remarked.

"What do you mean, honey?" Leah asked.

"Kids like me don't fit in, or they get made fun of. At home, they obviously can't bully me, but I see the way they look at me. Like I'm some disabled kid that is just a troubling thought for my parents." Kai said. For a seven-year-old, he surely was smart and logical. He had always been mentally intelligent, and thanks to speech therapy, he can now voice his opinions

"You'll never be a trouble to me or your father. Regardless of what people think, you're not disabled, you are special. You're the smartest, most creative, and the most organized kid I've ever seen. Not to mention, you succeed in magic on a whole different level, you're even better than your siblings actually. You're actually the most powerful kid I have, which is impressive since you're the youngest. I'd like to see other kids do what you do because I bet they can't." Leah told Kai.

Kai gave her a small smile, "I love you, mom."

"I love you more, my darling."

"I doubt it. You don't love me as much as I love you." Kai got out of his seat and lean forward to give his mommy a hug. He was a huge mommy's boy.

"Nothing can compare to the love of a mother for her child." Leah side hugged her baby boy. She pointed out the window, "There is your teacher."

"Bye, mom."

"Bye, have fun. Love you." Leah gave Kai a quick kiss on the cheek.

So there Kai was, the first time away from his mother, ready to start an adventure.

Kai grabbed his backpack and walked up to the young teacher. "Hello, you must be Kai?"

"Yes, Ma'am." He nodded his head. His cute straight blonde hair was swept to the side, and his eyes showed that he was nervous and untrusting of his surroundings so far.

"I know it's such a big place, but don't worry. We have each other. Call me Mrs. Haven." Mrs. Haven reached out and lightly touched Kai's shoulders. Giving him a warm trusting smile, she guided him to the class, and on the way, she was explaining the school system and the schedule to him. She also told him that he didn't have to socialize with the others if he didn't want too and that if he preferred one on one interaction with just a teacher, then that was fine.

Kai walked into a small one with three other students around his age, and another female teacher sitting at a desk.

Mrs. Haven said Kai could sit anywhere and there were only two tables with four seats at each table. The other third kids occupied the one table so Kai sat at the other table alone. Kai observed his surroundings. Bright colorful toys were scattered across the room. In one corner there were two rainbow beanbags and a mini-fridge. That was where they had group snacks. In the other corner, there was a desk with two computers.

Posters and pictures of the alphabet and nursery rhymes hung up on the wall. Kai sighed to himself. This was going to be a long day.

The first thing on the schedule was building socializing skills. Even though the little social exercises would only last for thirty minutes, Kai was excused. The teachers didn't want to push him too far. When he was ready then he'd join them.

Before the rest of the class started, Mrs. Haven gave him a couple of coloring books. When Kai's face scrunched up in disgust, Mrs. Haven knew something was wrong. "What is it?" She asked.

"These books are too childish. Do you have adult coloring books?" Kai politely asked.

"No, but I could buy some for tomorrow if you'd like?" The teacher said.

Kai nodded, "Do you have any books to read?"

The teacher showed him a bookcase. The right side had the children's books, and the left side had the teacher's books.

No child had ever picked anything on the left side, but Kai did. Kai picked up To Kill a Mockingbird. The teacher wasn't expecting him to read such a challenging book for a young child. Perhaps, he was smarter than she thinks.

After the one activity was done, they did another group activity but Kai was already bored reading so he looked around the classroom and found some paper. He picked up the paper but it wasn't normal coloring paper, it had multiplication problems on it. He loved multiplication and frequently worked on it with his mother.

He sped through the problems and set it off to the side reading his book. This time he was so indulged in the book that he didn't realize a teacher was examining his work. This teacher, Mrs. Johnson was less interested in helping kids with special needs, she only took this job position because she needed money.

"You didn't get one answer wrong." She stated.

"The problems are too easy," Kai said. Most of the time he spoke he would lack emotion and sometimes that could be mistaken for disrespect.

"None of the other kids can do this."

"We all are not like each other," Kai replied.

"Okay, then what is five hundred and forty-six times three hundred and twenty-one." The teacher said in a triumph tone.

Kai set his book down and thought about it for a minute.

"My point exact-" The teacher was about to say but Kai cut her off.

"One hundred and seventy-five thousand two hundred and sixty-six," Kai said and stared at the teacher. Waiting for her to check his math. A small smirk on his face.

The teachers stared in shock but quickly reached for her phone for the calculator.

"You're right." She said.

The day seemed to go by faster. Soon enough lunch came and went then it was recess time. The special education kids would go outside with a smaller group of just one hundred regular students to play.

Luckily, Kai was placed in the B4 group and Peyton was going to be there. This age group ranged from seven to twelve-years-old.

There was a big playground, and a soccer game going on but Kai didn't want to be involved with any of that. He just stayed on a bench, near the basketball court, and sketched in his book. He had his backpack with all of his different pencils and everything.

A couple of kids came over and kindly asked if he would like to join them because he seemed lonely. Kai politely denied.

Peyton was playing basketball with the other guys his age, but he kept a close eye on Kai.

A boy around twelve years old sat down on the bench with Kai. "Hey, watcha drawing?" The kid asked, in reality, he didn't care at all. The boy just wanted someone to pick on.

"My dad." Kai shortly answered.

The kid snatched Kai's book out of his hands without asking and observed the picture. It was a realistic drawling of Alec in his wolf form. "Can you give my book back, please?" Kai asked.

"I'm just trying to help out. You're missing something." The kid said and grabbed the pencil. He continued to draw stick figures in front of Alec's paws, and blood dripping from his mouth. He completely ruined Kai's drawing. "There. For all the people and packs your dad has killed. That suits him better." The kid laughed and stood up still holding his book.

"Give it back now!" Kai growled and bared his teeth.

The kid laughed, "Wow, so Alpha knine's retarded son does fight back after all. I'm surprised he has a son like you. A weakling that should just go kill himself already."

"I'm not weak and I'm not going to ask again. Give it back!" Kai was starting to have hairs sprout across his body. His eyes were flickering from human to wolf form.

One thing about Kai is he can have an episode real quickly. If this kid didn't back off then he was going yo find out too.

"I wonder what your father thinks about you. You disgraced his legacy, and I'm surprised you're even here at this school."

"Don't talk about my father like you know him, bitch!" Kai stepped closer toward him, but before he could do anything Peyton punched his classmate right in the face.

The boy fell to the ground and reached for his nose that was now gushing blood. "You stupid prick." The boy got up.

Peyton went over to Kai who was seething in anger. Kai was more than angry though, he was furious, and he wasn't sure how much longer he could take before he exploded.

"How's your grandmother? Hopefully, your mother ends up just like her," The kid stopped and gave a fake expression of pain, "Oh, I meant not like her. My bad."

Kai flipped out and charged for his throat. "Kai no!" Peyton yelled and grabbed his hand. But Kai turned around and clawed his chest.

Kai speared the boy to the ground and punched his face repeatedly. No one was going to talk about his mother like that.

It took five teachers and Peyton to separate the boys. One teacher was guiding the hurt boy, who was crying, to the nurse's office, but Kai wasn't done.

As anger clouded him and got worst, water droplets traveled down Kai's arm and into his palm. Since his element was water, Kai wanted to give him a little treat before the other boy stepped inside the building. All the water froze in Kai's hand. Peyton noticed and gasped. He wasn't supposed to be doing magic at school, but luckily no one noticed because all the teachers were surrounding the boy.

When the water froze into ice, Kai chucked it at an angle to where it launched over the teachers and hit the boy between the eyes, knocking him completely out. He and the teachers never knew what was coming.

Peyton and Kai both laughed and clapped hands. "Score!" Peyton yelled, "Uh-oh."

Both of the boys watched as more teachers come out and headed straight for them.

All of them were sent to the office and Leah was called to the school. She was not happy at all.

"Okay, so where was the teacher assistant at. Because this is not acceptable," She pointed to the mockery drawing that the bully did to Kai's drawing. Leah spoke again, "So let me get this straight. My son, Peyton is getting suspended because one of your kids is a bully." Leah yelled folding her arms. She had been yelling at the principal for thirty minutes, needless to say, she is winning this argument.

The principal replied, "That "bully" is being sent to the emergency room."

"And rightfully so. I already talked to both of my children out there." She pointed toward the main lobby. "It was wrong of that kid to bring up the death of my mother, me and his father. Actually, nevermind, * you. My kids will be going on a vacation then. So you can take your ten-day suspension and shove it up your . And I'm pulling Kai out, so I can homeschool him since your teachers can't even do a simple job, such as watching him. And you're lucky. Very lucky."

"How so?" The principal prompts.

"I was about to go to the store. Two minutes later and your phone call home would have been made to Alec." Leah replied.

The principal paled slightly. He knew what family he was talking to, but he still had to be stern with punishment to some degree.

"Exactly. I wonder what he would think of his autistic son being bullied and Peyton being punished for standing up for him." Leah questioned.

"Well, we can shorten the days of suspension to five." The principal blurted out. He wiped the sweat off his face.

"No. Like I said. Peyton is going on a vacation. I'm taking my boys out to lunch. Have a good day."

•••••

Throughout the years there were many ups and downs, but as a family, they were all very close.

It wasn't until around Christmas time that everything changed when Charlie was nineteen, Jade was eighteen, Blaire was seventeen, Peyton was fifteen, and Kai was eleven. Everything changed that year.

DarkBeauty357

It was just three days before school ended for Christmas break. Then the kids would have a week off from school.

Leah could hardly wait for this because this was her favorite time of the year. Decorating the house and baking cookies, opening presents with your kids and family, and the Christmas pack dinners made it Leah's favorite time of the year. Not to mention all the snow.

Early in the morning, Kai came downstairs with his cute little pajamas and snuggled right up to his mommy. Even though he was eleven years old, he never outgrew his mother. He probably never would.

"Mommy."

"Yes, baby?"

"I love you."

"I love you more," Leah said.

"No, I love you more." Kai hugged her harder.

"That's not possible," Leah said and kissed his forehead. "There's hot chocolate on the stove if you want some," Leah told Kai. He scrambled into the kitchen to get a cup.

Leah's morning routine constitutes of dropping her other children off at school, then going home and spending the rest of the morning and early afternoon with Kai. Charlie, her oldest son, would pick them up in the afternoon.

First, they would drink either coffee or hot chocolate together, then they would read books together.

Kai always likes to read books and show off his Lego creations to his mother. He felt a strange sense of accomplishment every time he made his mother laugh. The same kind of feeling when Charlie won a battle, or when Blaire performed excellently in a dance recital.

The only thing he ever wanted to do was make his mother proud just like Jade and Peyton. He had no idea though, that he made her proud the most just as he was.

After they finished reading books together, they would go up in Leah's safe room where she would practice magic. Kai was years ahead of all of his siblings, so the lessons were kept short and simple because he caught on quickly.

Halfway into their lessons, Kai perked up. "Dash is here!" Kai loved the old, huge buck. Kai ran downstairs and the sound of Kai's running feet made Leah smile.

Kai fed Dash all kinds of apples and fruits from the fridge.

"Mommy watch this," Kai shouted excitedly. Leah turned to them, only to see Kai on Dash's back. Dash, who stayed perfectly still, grew a lot. He was around eye level with Leah now, all those snacks that Kai fed him paid off.

"Kai, you might hurt him," Leah said.

"He's fine with it. Is that right Dash?" Kai asked. Dash bucked his head up, almost as if he was saying yes.

Dash walked to the living room, pausing in front of the door as it opened.

Alec came home early. Dash paused and stared at Alec, who held out his hand. Dash leaned forward and sniffed a little, like the other times, but he walked up to Alec again. It took years for Dash to trust Alec, and surprisingly enough, he finally did.

"Hey, little buddy. Didn't your mother tell you not to do that." Alec picked Kai off of Dash's back and set him down.

"Yeah, and Josie will be coming here sooner than normal. Her mother has to go somewhere today, so she'll be going shopping with us too." Leah said.

"Really?" Kai asked with disbelief and happiness. Josie was the only wolf in the pack that Kai liked to play and hang out with.

"Yes, and I am also going shopping with you guys too," Alec said.

After drinking hot chocolate, Kai went with Alec to paint in their art room and Leah went to her room.

She wanted to talk to her little ghost buddy, Charlie, who Leah named her first son after. She spoke to Charlie from time to time alone, but most times she was busy being a mother. If she was busy, then Charlie would just follow her and not talk much. Although, now that the kids were older, she was able to speak to him more.

After her little session with little Charlie, Josie arrived and Kai was super happy. Alec and Leah got ready to leave, and they packed snacks for the two kids. Christie would be tagging along as well. They were all just finishing up the rest of Christmas shopping.

Stacks of Christmas presents laid at the tree at home, so didn't have that much more to buy. The Knine family goes all out for Christmas though because it's Leah's favorite time of the year, and Leah was going to make sure her kids had the best life.

So there they were. Walking in a town full of humans, Alec and Leah holding hands as well as Kai and Josie. Leah never questioned why Kai liked Josie so much. Leah was just glad her son had someone like her; although, she did assume they were mates.

Honestly, Alec and Leah hoped they both were mates. They were good for each other. So good that when Alec and Leah saw them together a warm feeling interrupted both of their hearts.

Alec pointed at a little shop and smiled. The perfect gift for Jade and they finally found it.

"Nice eyes babe." Leah dragged him into the store.

"Yes, I know. Someone special gifted them to me." Alec said.

"I meant the present." She laughed.

After they found everything they were looking for, Leah and the others walked back to the car.

The group surely caught a lot of stares and glares from humans. Who could blame them, they looked perfect on the outside. All the humans didn't know was what was on the inside.

Alec hated when males stared at Leah, like other alphas who were protective of their mate. That's another reason why he hated going out in public. Alec would growl at the humans and when Leah would notice she would grab his hand to calm him down.

Leah seemed unbothered by all the stares that Alec received by thirsty women. She didn't much care for them because she was hardly jealous anymore. That and she was used to it. Christie noticed more than Leah did. "Don't you get jealous by human girls eyeballing your mate?" Christie asked because if it was her, then she'd be more than jealous.

"No. Why would I be jealous? Why would I get mad when others look at my mate, knowing that he'd never sleep with them. If anything let them look at what I have. It's amusing to watch girls thirst over steak they can't have." Leah answered.

Meanwhile, when they all got home, Kai and Josie ran off to go play.

Charlie brought home the kids when school ended and Alice went to take Blaire to her dance practices for Ballet. She had a performance tomorrow and a lot of people were going to be. Including Aunt Jenna, Blake, Nick, Leah's dad, Damon, Chris, Christie, Alice and other close members of the pack. So she was a lucky one because she got to miss both of her practicing sessions with her father and mother.

When the kids got situated at home, they went with Leah to have a magic session. This was going to be their last session and then they would be able to take a two-week break from werewolf and witch practices for Christmas.

When Leah was done they went with their dad, which left most of them groaning because of all the physical work.

Charlie, on the other hand, loved working out, it was also a way to meet up with his mate.

"Charlie, I'm taking them over now. I'll see you and Skye soon." Jade and Peyton were the only ones with Alec right now because Charlie would meet up with them later. Blaire and Kai weren't going because Blaire had dance and Kai never went. Plus, Kai was playing with Josie in his room.

"Okay dad," Charlie said. He waited for his mate to show up at the house, which didn't take long since she was already on her way.

There was a knock on the door then someone entered. "Hey babe," Skye said. Skye was the only other normal pack member that had the permission to come in anytime, but she was respectful and she at least wanted to know.

Charlie and Skye hugged and kissed, until Leah broke it up, "You two get a room!" They busted out laughing. "Have fun at your workouts, love you guys." Leah smiled.

Leah treated Skye as one of her own with no questions. After all, Leah really did like Skye because she was a warrior too. It reminded Leah of when she was a werewolf. Charlie and Skye waved to Leah before they left in their wolf form.

It wasn't long until Aunt Jenna arrived as planned. When she came she immediately put her bags in a spare room and helped make dinner for the family.

Blaire came home just in time for dinner. Alice had to leave to go back to Xena and Noah since they had plans tonight. Alec, Charlie, Jade, and Peyton come home and took a shower before dinner. Since Josie's mom was running late she would join for dinner too.

Aunt Jenna laid out the plates and helped Leah and they all enjoyed a nice meal together.

Everyone seemed to disperse while Jenna and Leah helped clean the mess. Josie got picked up, which left Kai to be bored so he went to the painting room that Alec reopened for them.

That's one thing the two of them loved to do together.

Kai went to the room and started to work on the canvas he's had for two weeks now. This one was going to be of his parents in their wolf form.

Kai has heard stories, along with the other children, of when their mother was a wolf. Although, they never asked how she lost her wolf because they could clearly see the pain in her eyes when she discussed it.

Kai wanted to give her mother this before Christmas, which meant that Leah was temporarily banned from coming into this room. Kai knew what color her wolf was too, a light blonde almost white. He smiled because he knew it was going to be perfect. Alec walked in and stayed with Kai for a minute, just doing some simple bonding.

When Leah was done cleaning she went to find Blaire who seemed pretty down today. She wanted to make sure she was okay.

Blaire was in her room just staring at a picture of her whole family together. Something she learned in history today troubled her, something about her father. As she was getting older, she was starting to learn that the world wasn't as it seems and that her father wasn't really the hero in her eyes that she saw when she was younger. In the eyes of others, he was the villain.

A light knock on the door alerted Blaire of their presence. Blaire already knew who it was because she could smell the sweat of her forehead. For a seventeen-year-old girl, she had a keen sense of smell like her father.

"Come in," Blaire answered.

Leah sat on the edge of the bed beside her.

"What's troubling you?" Leah asked.

Blaire taught about her lesson at school. "Today at school I learned something... I've always known about the war dad went through, and that never bothered me. But is it true that after that, he destroyed many villages and packs for no reason." Blaire asked. "Could he really do something so monstrous? How could he even be capable of that? I've never seen him angry- well except for that incident three years ago- but he's never been mean to any of us. In fact, I've never seen him argue against you ever or even raise his voice toward you. He's like a saint when he's with us, but in the books, he's like the devil." Blaire said

"Oh honey, maybe you should talk to your dad on this one, but he does have a reason for the incidents in those histories books. What is said in those books doesn't define him though. He has changed in many ways because we as a family have changed him. He's simply not the same person he was back then." Leah replied. "And he'd never ever hurt you or any of the kids."

"I know that," Blaire said. She truly knew that he would never hurt her or her siblings. "You know it actually doesn't matter what any book says because I know him and they don't. None of the kids at my school do except for pack members. So they can kiss my ***."

Leah laughed, "You're so much like your grandmother and her sisters."

Blaire's eyes went wide with excitement, "Are Velvezhi, Achira, and Insuvai coming?"

Leah shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. They just show up whenever."

"I hope they show up this year. Last year was funny when they were around."

"It's always fun when there around," Leah said.

"Yeah and Velvezhi is the only one I know that can't make dad flinch. It cracks me up every time even though I wonder why he does that." Blaire says.

"Because he values his ears and his brain." Leah answers.

Another knock was heard. Alec poked his head in, "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

Leah left and went with Alec to his office. "I just got off the phone with Damon. He wants to know if his friend can come over." He rolled his eyes as he sat in his chair.

Leah stifled a laugh, "Let him come then."

"Remember what happened two years ago at Thanksgiving?" He asked.

"It was only a prank. He was young back then, I'm sure he's matured since then."

"He was twenty-four two years ago. An adult." Alec said.

Leah gave him a look, "I really think he should come. I have a good feeling about him being here."

"Fine. But the next time he decided to put a small prank bomb in the mash potatoes, and it goes everywhere leaving me with a potato beard then he's never allowed here again." Alec scowled.

Leah scoffed, "It was not a beard." Alec gave her the look. "Okay, it kinda was."

"My point exactly," Alec stated.

"You still looked sexy." She said and Alec laughed.

"You always think I look sexy," Alec replied.

Leah got up and straddled him in his chair, "Is that a problem?"

Meanwhile, in the art room where Kai actually finished his painting today, he set it to dry and admired it a little. The very small details of the two wolves made it very realistic. He made sure everything was fine and that he didn't miss anything. It turns out he did. His signature, which is an easy fix. He grabbed a small pin and in the corner, he signed his name.

Charlie walked in and his eyes went wide. "Wow. That's amazing! You have some serious talent and it surprises me every day." You'd think that since Charlie lives with Kai and sees his artwork that he'd be less surprised, but that wasn't the case because Kai got better every day.

"Yeah, I made it for mommy. Do you think she'll like it." Kai asked.

"She'll love it. You should make one of me and Skye." Charlie said.

"That'll cost three hundred and fifty dollars," Kai stated.

"What!" Charlie laughed.

"I got to hustle some way to get my money," Kai said.

"Oh my lord kid. I love you. What do you need the money for though?" Charlie asked.

"I want to get a pandora bracelet for Josie. Her favorite color is pink so I was thinking rose gold." Kai says.

"Tomorrow morning I can take you to get one. Then you can make me a painting later." Charlie offers. He knows that Kai likes to make his own money. So it's a win-win situation.

"Deal. But I wanna drink got chocolate with mom first." Kai says.

"Yeah, and I got to drop off your sister's and brother at school first."

"Oh yeah." Kai realizes.

"You seem to like Josie a lot," Charlie says.

"I don't like her. Honestly, I love her."

"You're eleven." Charlie points out.

"I'm also an autistic werewolf. Your point is?"

"Touche," Charlie says. "I wonder if you guys are mates. It is common and possible. You'll just have to wait till your eighteen to know for sure."

"Yeah," Kai says. "Mom and Great Grandma thinks we're mates."

"Usually, Velvezhi and mom are always right."

Later that night, everyone came together and decided to watch a Christmas movie together. A great form of bonding, especially since there weren't many chances to actually sit down and enjoy themselves for the knine family.

After the movie, Alec and Leah made sure all their children went to bed. Kai especially liked to be tucked in at night.

As usual, Leah went up to Kai's bedroom and tucked him in.

"I love you, mommy," Kai said.

"I love you to the moon and back." Leah kissed him on the forehead. He would always be her little star.

Damon walked into the chaotic house of Alec's and Leah's with his twenty-six-year-old friend, Liam. Liam was one of his old friends from his uncle's pack. Alpha Deniero, the uncle of Damon, allowed Liam to travel freely anywhere Damon went.

Liam was a handsome, tall man with dark red straight hair and a light beard. He had tan skin from working in the summer and it stayed with him all winter long. His dark blue eyes and his high cheekbones were a factor that made all the mateless females and humans go crazy over him. He almost compared to the looks of Alec.

Liam searched for the girl that he hasn't seen in two years. A girl that was only fifteen, almost sixteen, when he left two years ago. Now she is almost eighteen, almost an adult and that is when she would find out about her being his mate. The only problem with their future relationship was the age difference since he was twenty-six and she was seventeen.

Liam's eyes searched for Blaire, the seventeen-year-old daughter of Alec Knine. He found her helping her mother with household chores. He thought she looked so beautiful in her dress with her long hair curled and the little bit of makeup she wore. He couldn't wait for the day she turned eighteen when he could finally hold her in his arms. He has waited for what seemed like a lifetime to him.

He first found out that she was his mate two years ago when he first came to the house. He was twenty-four and she was fifteen at the time. He scolded himself for thinking anything about her because at the time she was so young. A mere child. He felt discussed with himself from even being attracted to her through the mate bond, even though it was nonsexual. That was the day that he made a promise to not tell her himself until she figured it out, but that didn't mean he couldn't be a friend to her.

That is exactly what Liam has been to Blaire over the past two years, a best friend. Even when Liam got kicked out two years ago over the Thanksgiving incident he still kept in contact with Blaire because he had her phone number.

When Blaire noticed Liam, her eyes lit up now that her best friend was here and her cheeks slightly reddened because she secretly had a crush on him. Her biggest fantasy was turning eighteen then finding out that Liam was her mate all along, but she doubted that would ever happen because it seemed too good to be true. She scolded herself for even thinking about it when she had a boyfriend in the first place.

Blaire ran over to Liam and hugged him. Liam hugged her too and held her a little too long, which caused Damon to notice.

"Uncle Demon!" Kai yelled and ran toward Damon for a great big hug. Kai really did like Damon and he even had a nickname for him, Demon. Damon was given that nickname by Kai when he was young. It was when Kai was around four and Kai mispronounced Damon's name and it stuck throughout all the years. Kai knew his real name was Damon but he still liked to call him Demon. "I have something to show you." Kai dragged Damon off somewhere, which left Liam and Blaire alone in the entryway.

"I have someone I want you to meet," Blaire told Liam.

"Oh yeah? Who?" Liam prompted.

"My boyfriend!" Blaire smiled.

The true smile faltered and fell from Liam's face, a forced smile appeared instead. "I'd love to meet him." Liam's voice became noticeably strained and aggravated, but he couldn't show her.

"That's great because he should be here for dinner soon," Blaire informed him. She really wanted to get her best friend's approval on her current boyfriend.

"How long have you guys been together?" Liam's curiosity got the better of him.

"A year and two months," Blaire said.

Before Liam became even more aggravated he decided to change the subject so it didn't show, "How was school?" He asked.

"It was great."

"And your day?"

"It's better now that your here," Blaire told Liam. That brought a smile to his face and made his cheeks go red.

"Well, I'm glad to help. Speaking of, do you need any help with chores?" He asked.

Blaire shook her head, "We are already done." Blaire noticed he had no bags with him, "Are you staying at the packhouse?" She asked.

"It was the only way I was allowed to come back," Liam said.

Blaire chuckled, "Right. It makes sense."

"Yeah, I don't think your dad likes me too much." Liam chuckled.

"Well I like you," Blaire said and an awkward silence filled the air.

They both looked away from each other with blushed cheeks. It was obvious they had chemistry together.

Leah walked by and saw them both in the entryway looking flushed. She raised her eyebrows in suspicion. "Blaire." She called.

Blaire turned around, "Yes, mom?"

"Don't forget you have practice tonight and we have to leave right after dinner," Leah said and walked away with a small smile that she hid.

Blaire turned to Liam with a small, graceful smile, "I have my performance tomorrow and it's going to be epic. Will you be there?"

"Do you have to ask? I'll never not be there for you." Liam said. "What ballet piece are you doing?"

"L'histoire de Manon, but we refer to it as Manon."

Manon is a ballet piece about a woman named Manon, who has to choose between true love and wealth.

"Okay," Liam says even though he knows nothing about ballet.

Meanwhile, Leah's eighteen-year-old daughter Jade was out in the human town shopping for clothes. Even though there were clothing stores in the pack, Jade preferred the ones in town. Her mother only let Jade go out in town if she brought a friend with her, but Jade's friend bailed on her at the last minute.

Jade was happy about that though because for the first time she was out in town by herself. She could finally relax and breath on her own. Being the Alpha's daughter meant that she had to have protection everywhere she went. There was always someone breathing down her throat, whether it was her father or a guard, but this time was different. She was momentarily happy even if the freedom would only last for a few short hours because she had to be back for dinner.

Jade spent her hours wisely and wasted no time to get good deals on clothes. Out of everyone in her family, she always had a taste for makeup and fashion. She always stayed on top of the fashion trend and she looked wonderful in everything she wore. Jade wanted to be a fashion designer and in her spare time, she sewed and made new ideas for clothes.

She recently got accepted into a prestigious university for fashion designing after she submitted an application and portfolio of all her designs. She would start attending next year, and she couldn't wait. After she graduated, she planned to have a business to start clothing brands, and she wanted to travel the world. She had high hopes in her future and her family supported her all the way.

Jade stood in the check out line with a new dress and purple lipstick.

A human teenager was going to buy a coat as her mom rummaged through her purse to find the money. She handed the money to the cashier and her daughter was thrilled.

"This item is no longer on sale. You are short ten bucks." The cashier said.

"Is there any way you can hold it for me? I get paid tomorrow." The mother said and her daughter looked a little down.

Jade walked to the cashier and handed him her dad's credit card. "I can pay the rest for them."

The cashier swiped the card and bagged the coat for the girl. She turned to Jade with a huge smile on her face. "Thank you so much."

"No problem. I understand the need for a pretty coat."

After checking out her own items, Jade walked out of the store and decided it was time to go home. She had her car parked near the woods, away from humans.

When she got to her car she put her bags in the backseat and was about to leave, but a new scent caught her nose. It was enticing and very inviting. It was luring her into the woods to find where it came from. She couldn't drop it now as she had to find the source.

She didn't know what it was until her wolf popped into her mind whispering, mate. She walked into the forest navigating her way around the tree stumps and branches.

A small clearing appeared and she stopped in her tracks. A sense of excitement rushed over Jade, but also a sense of horror. There her mate was- sucking the blood of a human.

His back was facing toward her and he hadn't noticed she was there yet. He stopped feeding on the human girl and held her head still, "Go back to the village and don't remember any of this."

His voice was like magic that was already moving her body. The vampire tilted his head up and sniffed the air and his head snapped toward Jade.

In a flash, the man was standing in front of her. They were just staring at each other. She was raised to hate vampires but how could she hate her own mate? His light brown air that fell to his forehead blew against the wind. His blue eyes stared into hers intently. As if trying to figure out pieces of a puzzle.

A small trail of blood laid on the corner of his cheek. Jade reached her fingers out to his face to try and wipe off the blood, but he grasped her hand firmly in his, restraining her from touching him.

"You're a wolf." He stated.

"And a witch. Half and half." She added.

"Then why do I feel so..." he trailed off. "Swayed by you."

Jade thought to herself. She never heard of a case where vampires have predestined mates, so he must be feeling the mate bond and he must be confused as to why he feels this way. "Isn't it obvious. You're my mate."

"You can not be my mate. Vampires do not have mates." He sounded as if the word burned his tongue.

Jade scowled but regained her composure. "You can feel it though. Can you?" She asked. "What my touch does to you." She pulled her hand away from his and lightly danced her fingers across his forearm.

He pulled away. "No. I feel nothing."

Jade knew he was lying because it showed in his eyes. "So you're telling me that you don't feel this?" She asked then suddenly attacked him with her lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck and lustfully tasted him.

The vampire gave in to the sparks that pulsed through his skin. Honestly, it was the first time he felt alive in centuries. He hoisted Jade up with his arms, and her legs wrapped around his waist.

Jade's back hit a tree and she let out a quick grasp before his lips were on hers again. His hands were traveling dangerously up her shift, and she lightly tugged his hair making him want her even more.

He pulled away from the kiss and planted smaller kisses on her neck. He took in a deep breath and dark veins appeared under his eyes. Jade felt his sharp fangs brush against her neck and she stiffened.

For a moment, the vampire was fighting as hard as he could too not bite into her because he didn't want to hurt her. He knew that his bite could temporarily paralyze a werewolf and cause excruciating pain. He calmed himself.

Still holding Jade he whispered in her ear, "I just want to **** you all over this forest."

Jade looked at him seductively, "Then let's do it."

Back at the house, Leah had already finished dinner and was preparing the table. Alec was busy finishing up some paperwork in his office, and Blaire was with Liam and her boyfriend, who arrived not too long ago. They were both in Blaire's room.

Blaire already introduced Mason, her boyfriend, to Liam and he faked a smile while shaking his hand firmly. Liam laid in the bean bag chair with a fake smile on his face while they were all talking, and in reality, he wanted to rip Mason's throat out for even resting his hand on Blaire's thigh.

Blaire announced she had to use the bathroom and left. A wicked smile came to Liam's face.

As the door closed Liam stood up, "So Mason." Liam approached him. He was two times bigger than Mason, although he was not as big as Alec, but Liam could be pretty intimidating when he wanted to be. "What's Blaire's favorite color?"

"Pink," Mason answered. He was right.

"Favorite food?" Liam asked.

"Steak."

"Favorite animal?"

"Deer," Mason said a little unsure of himself. It showed in his voice.

"Favorite flower?" Liam tested Mason to see if he actually knew anything about Blaire, and his jealousy was leaking through his walls.

"Roses?" Mason answered falsely.

"Wrong. It's a Zinnia." Liam proudly exclaimed.

"What's your problem man!" Mason exclaimed.

Liam looked around the room. "Have you guys had sex?"

"What's with all these questions?" Mason asked.

"Answer me," Liam commanded.

Mason smirked. "Hell yeah. All over this fucking room."

Liam growled. His canines extended and his claws appeared along with his glowing eyes. He immediately went straight for his throat. Grabbing him by the neck and lifting him off the ground.

Mason gasped for air, "Lie." Was all he could choke out.

Liam loosened his grip a little so he could talk. "She's still a **." Liam dropped him to the ground. He needed to call off and take a run. He was about to leave the house but as soon as he opened the door the devil himself was standing there.

"It's awful funny that you care so much about my daughter." Alec's stated. His arms were crossed and he glared at Liam.

Liam attempted to walk past him but Alec grabbed his arm with a steel grip, "She is only a child. My child." Alec stated with a slight growl. He was very protective even though Blaire was seventeen and not really a kid anymore.

"I know this," Liam said.

"Guys come down for dinner," Leah shouted.

Poor Leah, most times she was completely oblivious to what went on in the house because she couldn't hear as the other werewolves could. Even Blaire heard what happened but she decided to ignore it. Alec growled at Liam, "Find a different girl to **** around with. My daughter is off-limits." Alec said and walked away. They all gathered around the table, even Kai and Damon joined.

Leah like everyone else was completely oblivious to the stares the three males gave each other. It was a showdown between Alec, Liam, and Mason. It was clear who the winner would be in a fight, but Liam and Mason had to act proud as they always do.

"Are you going to practice after this?" Damon asked Blaire. Blaire nodded her head.

"I just noticed. Where is Jade at? She was supposed to be home by now." Leah asked.

"Probably maxing out my credit card," Alec said.

"I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's good for teenagers to breath every once in a while." Damon said.
