Dixon grinned at me after Bree left the table and asked how old I was. I grinned back and told him that I had turned 18 yesterday. The grin dropped from his face and said “Happy belated birthday. I am so sorry you had such a bad day on your birthday”. I told him “It’s ok, I am used to it. My birthday is not usually special”. Dixon is already 6’2″ and is 17 years old, he will be 18 in two months. Dixon is cute with his black hair and light blue eyes. He has broad shoulders and has a strong jaw. He looks a lot like his father. He excuses himself and says he will see me for training at 6, and he goes to change as well. Nicole and Jessica come down and we all go grab a yogurt and an apple to get a little something to eat before we train. The Alphas children are nice, and I feel better about my training this morning.
Friday night as we sit down for dinner in the Dark Moon pack, I look at my sons and then back to my wife before sighing and getting their attention. I am not looking forward to this talk. I felt guilty enough having had to speak to Joy earlier about the new family member. Joy was surprised at Hillary having had a child but listened to what had happened. She felt terrible that she had not been called to the gate to speak with Hillary, but I had told her that Tyler, our oldest, had only been a few months old at the time and that since she was pregnant with Tate at the time, I couldn’t risk her going to the gate to speak with Hillary. I could not take it if something had happened to her. After we eat, I tell the boys to come to my office after they were through with their dinner.
Ten minutes later both boys entered my office and sat down in the chairs in front of my desk. The smiled at the mom perched on my leg and then looked towards me.
“Boys, what I am about to say is very difficult. So please just let me tell you what I need to do before you ask questions. I got a phone call today from Luna Monica at the Stone Moon pack. She was calling me to see if I had had a pack member about 19 years ago by the name of Hillary Davis. That she was doing some checking and had called me first as she had two pieces of information. One that I was a white wolf, and two the lady in question had been living at a pack in Arizona. I told Luna Monica that I had known a she-wolf by the name of Hillary Davis, and I had been in a relationship with her and that we were living together when I happened to meet my mate. I asked Hillary to move out of my room as soon as I returned to my pack from the meeting that I had been attending. Truth be told after I met your mother, I had completely forgotten about Hillary until we were almost back at my pack. I was planning on letting her stay in the pack, with the stipulation to stay away from Joy, but she insisted that she was leaving. I did not know it, but apparently, she was pregnant with my child at the time she left and neither of us knew she was pregnant. She came back to the pack one day, a year later while I was out of town, but due to you being so small at the time Tyler, and your mom being pregnant with Tate, I didn’t feel like it was safe for your mother to meet with Hillary. She wouldn’t tell the Guard the reason that she needed to speak to me, and Beta Young was busy at the time, and could not get to the gate before Hillary left. I didn’t know until I returned to the pack that the Guard at the gate thought he had heard someone else in her car. I had no way to contact her, and I just waited on her to contact me again. She never came back, and I never heard from her again. I don’t know why Hillary never told me that she had a baby with me, maybe she is still mad at me for choosing your mother over her. I just don’t know currently, but what I do know is that Luna Monica is of the opinion that she has my daughter at her pack and that my daughter needs her family right now. She really didn’t get into it fully with me, but she probably could tell that I was having a difficult time with this new information”.
I look at Joy again and tell her “Thank you for being so loving and understanding about this. I couldn’t ask for a better mate”. I look at my boys and tell them “Wait on your mate boys, I was 27 and I thought that I would never find my mate so since Hillary and I enjoyed similar interests we lived together for a few months, and I was even considering making her my chosen Luna. I am so thankful that the Goddess sent me Joy when she did. I know what love actually is after I met your mother, what I felt for Hillary does not compare to what I feel for your mother”.
I sit back and ask the boys if they have anything to say. I don’t have to wait for long.
From Tyler “When can we meet her? What does she look like? How old is she? Is she going to be older or younger than me? When are we leaving to go meet her?
From Tate “I always wanted a sister. When are we leaving? Can we leave now? Are we all going to go get her and bring her here?
Joy laughs and tells them “Hey guys, let’s not overwhelm her. We will be leaving at 10 tomorrow after your dad finishes up a meeting that was already scheduled a month ago. The meeting is at 9 am, and we will be leaving right after it is complete. We will be taking your friend and soon-to-be Beta, Travis Young with us on the trip for extra security, as his father will be staying here to run the pack for the few days that we will be gone. We are ALL going to meet your sister, but I don’t want you to put too much pressure on her. From the sound of what Luna Monica said, she is not aware she has any family from what we have gathered. So, we need to take this slowly with her and just let her know that we are here for her, or how slowly she wants to build the relationship. We are going to the Stone Moon pack and that trip is 2 hours, so we should be there about noon tomorrow. The only thing that we know about her is that her name is Jade”.
Both Tate and Tyler are excited about seeing their sister the next day and start making plans as well as packing. Hopefully, their dad and mom plan to stay for at least 2 days for them to hang out. Tyler is excited because tomorrow is his birthday, and he turns 18. So, he is literally getting a sister that he has always wanted for his birthday. He starts thinking about what she is going to look like. Will we look similar? What features will we share? Tyler finishes packing and starts putting his duffle bag by his door. He cannot wait for tomorrow and lays down on his bed to think about how tomorrow will go, and where she came from. Why did her mom keep her hidden from us? Does she still hate dad that much? Were they living like Rogues and skipping around, or had she been at the Stone Moon pack this whole time and we just never knew it? Admittedly we don’t usually spend time at other packs, as we are Alpha’s children and need to be protected. Has she been trained? Will we need to help train her? I remember dad mentioning that the subject of him being a white wolf coming up, is that how they figured out to ask him if he knew Hillary, is my sister a white wolf too? I wonder what special skills she has along with her white wolf? I wonder if I am going to be a white wolf, Tate will be turning 18 in less than 6 months, will he be a white wolf?
Mom had us back-to-back, Alpha pups only need 5 months for a she-wolf pregnancy. Both Tate and I showed up a week early, but with no health issues or problems. Mom did have a difficult pregnancy with Tate, and when they were trying to have a third child mom had had an ectopic pregnancy, and one of her tubes was destroyed. After losing that baby, my mom just didn’t have the heart to try again, she couldn’t take the loss again. I really hope that my sister is ready for this family. We are so excited to have her, and I know how upset my dad is at having his child deliberately kept from him for the last 18 years. I hope we get some answers tomorrow. I am really looking forward to having a sister and getting to spend time with her. I continue to think about all the questions that I want to ask her about, until I finally fall asleep, with a smile on my face and excitement about tomorrow, and not just for my birthday. I hope everything goes smoothly and she accepts us as her family. Please Goddess don’t let her want to stay away from us like her mother did.
I leaned over and threw up again. I am sweating so hard the back of my shirt and the waistband of my pants are completely soaked. I had no idea that Brax was going to be this hard on me. It’s my first day for the Goddess’sake, I don’t need to learn absolutely everything with my first training, I think, as I stand back up and brace my hands on my hips, as I try to catch my breath. Training has been going on for 3 hours, and I am in my second class with Brax. The first class was a basic cardio health class, for people to stay in shape, and this second class was for less cardio and more focused on strength training. Each class is an hour and a half with a five-minute break in the middle for the first class to leave and the second class to come in and get ready to go.
I look a mess, and I know it. My hair is sweaty and sticking to my forehead and the back of my neck. I can feel the sweat running down my scalp and I cannot wait to drag my battered body to the shower, or maybe a bath, as my muscles are letting me know how unhappy they are with me. I know that the elite warriors that took this class were glancing over at me throughout the class, curious about me and why I am here in this class, as I don’t look like they do. They saw me throw up both times in this class, but no one was mean to me today, even when they saw me throw up. I also threw up for the first time after running 5 miles in the first class.
Brax comes over to me and gives me a sweaty side hug. He is not sweating as much as I am, but he does this on a daily basis. “I am super proud of you Jade, you did great on your first day. Most people who have never trained wouldn’t have been able to do the first class with the 5-mile run and all the drills, but you did it, and my elite class too! I am really impressed”, he tells me.
