Alpha's secret love child
Chapter one

He looks so much like his dad, Amber thought to herself while watching Elias play. People oftenstared at her son, because he didn't resemble her boyfriend Brian. When they moved to the CrimsonMoon pack only a handful of people knew who Elia's real dad was. Alpha Drake was a fair Alpha,one of a few words but he always made the right choices. His pack respected him more than theyfeared him. Alpha Drake was the one who told me to keep the identity of Elias's father to ourselves.I still noticed some pack members wonder about how Elias got his looks. How could they not, Eliashad my curls and caramel skin. But his eyes were bright blue and his hair wasn’t raven like mine, butalmost gold. Brian was short and very average build, with brown eyes and a mousy grayish haircolor. While Elias was already the tallest in class at 5 years old.

Our life was okay, we had a house and I worked as an omega at the Alpha’s mansion. Elias was inschool and so happy learning and training. Training started as soon as they could walk, but it wasmostly playing and learning to use your body to defend yourself. When the kids were 10 the realtraining started and at 16 most of the student s could help when an attack occurred. Which luckilywasn't often. Brian and I chose this pack on purpose, we all wanted to feel safe again after whathappened at our previous pack. Brian lost his mate during a rogue attack at our last pack, they hadjust marked each other the month before and were still in the honey moon phase. Losing your matefeels like losing half of your soul, I can't even imagine how much it hurts. That's why I sometimesignore his drinking or insults or the smell of other women on his skin. We all deal with pain in ourown way. We have a relationship based on necessity, not one on love. He needs someone to helphim with chores and to take care of him when he's too depresses to eat or get out of bed. And Ineed someone to pretend to be Elias's dad so we avoid any danger. At least we all feel safe underAlpha Drake, I even started training and gaining some muscles. Women weren't allowed to train atthe previous pack we lived in. Brian's mate was not able to defend herself when the rogues attackedher and he doesn't want that to happen to me or Elias.

Elias was not born yet when I met Brian, we both were in a very bad place. I was homeless and livingin the abandoned shed in the forest, searching through the trash at night for things to eat. That'swhen Brian saw me. We never interacted much before, but he went to school with one of my olderbrothers. I was the youngest in a family of 6 and some of my older sibling had already found theirmate and had moved our by the time I was born. My parents weren't that excited to have anotherpup, most of their kids were grown and they were looking forward to an empty nest. They weren'thorrible parents, but they didn't show much interest in my life. My older sister Claire took care ofme until she found her mate in a neighboring pack. Luckily by then I was old enough to make myown meals and do my own laundry. My parents only started to care when they noticed my growingbump and they could smell the pup inside. They kicked me out when I refused to mention who thefather was. They were already unhappy having to care for me, but the thought of another baby intheir house made them loath me. They made it clear, I could either live with the wolf whoimpregnated me or I could live on the in forest by myself. They wanted no contact with me everagain, I was a disappointment in their eyes who should have saved herself for her mate. A child theyshould have never have had, a mistake.

Brian's point of view:

When I found Amber I was so depressed, I was looking for a way out. Any way out, even suicide hadcrossed my mind. I was aimlessly walking around trying to replace any way to ease the pain when Ismelled her. When I saw Amber I notice she was pregnant. I couldn't just leave her there, but livingat our pack was too painful. Everything reminded me of Susan. When that rogue attacked Susan Icould feel her pain and after a few minutes I couldn't feel the bond anymore. The most excruciatingpain filled my heart and I cried out for her. Every night since then I wake up reliving this moment,waking up in cold sweats and remembering she is gone. So I walk at night, to avoid the pain andmemories that haunt me. I had no sense of future, no plans without Susan. But there was Amber, Iknew she was the baby sister of a classmate of mine back in high-school. He wasn’t my friend, buthe wasn't unkind to me like so many others

Suddenly a plan came to mind, I could leave and take Amber with me. I had a much better chanceof replaceing another pack to take me in when I had a pregnant girlfriend. I knew she would accept theoffer, anything was better than how she was currently living. We could help each other. Suddenlymy heart hurt a tiny bit less, I could have a future. I could have a purpose.

Amber pov:

When Brian offered me a way out I took it with both hands. I instinctively knew he wouldn't hurt me,honestly he looked so distraught and tired that he couldn't hurt me even if he wanted to. And Ineeded a better life for my pup. We asked a few packs in another county. We didn’t want to stay tooclose to our pack, the further away the better. When Alpha Drake accepted us we were both sorelieved. Brian and I left in the dead of night, we didn't know what Alpha Alistair would do. WhereAlpha Drake had the respect of his pack, Alpha Alistair had fear. No-one dared to go against theirAlpha, his cruelty was known throughout the werewolf community and his ways of punishment wereinfamous. Women were expected to behave and obey their mates, to be seen not heard. AlphaDrake had always hated Alpha Alistair, so the idea of having two of his members change packintrigued him. They might have some useful information on his enemy.
