A Secret Alpha Mate

(1sla)

“And you know I haven't seen anyone deal with a treaty quite like my William.” Gianna sits back in her chair, swirling her glass of wine, her eyes glimmering.

She has been telling us stories as her time as Luna and William's as Alpha. They were such a power couple and hearing al the struggles that they have been through as Alpha and Luna and still come out wiith nothing but love for each other, amazed me and made me confident Jackson and I could do the same.

I feel like we had our fair share of trials even before we became Luna

Can't argue with that — I smile at my wolf

“Hello, ladies, we missed you.” William comes in and places a kiss on Gianna’s cheek. I instinctively look for Jackson. He walks in behind Lucas. I swear every time I see him was like the first time, his blue eyes bore into me searching my soul, some of his jet-black hair was out of place.

s**t 1 had to contain myself, other people were here. I took a few deep breaths and broke eye contact.

jackson walks over and and picks me up placing me on his lap.

“Getting started without us?” Lucas teases Gianna.

“There's enough wine.”

“And whiskey" William chimes in,

“Yes, and whiskey, for all of us." Gianna finishes, “Plus we were hungry, so we thought we would have a little bit of a liquic snack” Abigial giggles, Jim sits beside her and takes her free hand in his, placing it in his lap. My heart swelled knowing s was so happy, with such a fantastic man.

“How was it?” Gianna asks Elder John, “Find out anything new?”

“Well, this was my first time meeting her so I'm not sure what constitutes new, but she did admit to her plan of impacting the challenge to go Alpha Benjamin's way” Gianna's face gets sheet white and she looks to Jackson with glassy eyes. “ljust, can't imagine, my baby." She buries her head into William's arms.

“Don't worry, Gianna." He rubs her cheek, “He's safe, Jackson and his team are more than competent. Look what they did. They had a hunch and followed it and caught a dark witch”

“Hm, yes, about that.” Elder John cuts in, “What exactly were you doing “snooping’ around Silver Moon?” He turns to Cameron.

“Well, sir, we had a feeling that not everything with Alpha Benjamin was so black and white. We just wanted to do some surveillance to make sure that nothing devious was going on.” He explains, “We kept our distance and we weren't spying anything, I promise. We just wanted to cover all bases. And, uh, we did” He looks to his hands. I've never seen Cameron s nervous before.

“Hm, 1 believe you, especially because you did find something devious. But that activity shouldn't be normalized. Spying your allies is unheard of. Do you understand me, Alpha Jackson?”

“Yes, Elder” Jackson nods,

“l will say this once.” He looks between Jackson, Lucas and Cameron, “'m glad you three had some sense to do this. It seems there is more to Alpha Benjamin than just how poorly he treats his omegas.” He sits back in his chair and sighs. “Would you like a whiskey?” Gianna gets up and pours him a glass of whiskey before he responds, and then goes around pour all the men a glass and kisses Jackson on the cheek before topping up my wine glass.

“50, how do we find out about Isla’s heritage?” William asks, “I think we have enough to go off now."

“I was thinking about that,” Elder John takes a sip of his whiskey, “There has to be the pack lineage documented there, as mentioned before, ours stops with what we assumed to be Alpha Benjamin's grandfather” He swirls the dark honey color drink around his glass, observing its slow movements around the glass.

“After the challenge is over he looks to Jackson, “You'll have full access to that. However, finding it might be a different story. If what we think is true, and he's hiding something, there's a chance that he destroyed it."

That was the last thing I wanted to hear. I just wanted answers at this point and I didn't care what they were.

If my parents were rogues, so be it, I just wanted to know some of their story. Now I might be a descendant of an Alpha th maybe Alpha Benjamin is related to or took over from? It made my head spin.

I didn't care about what rank I was, I knew who I was. I am the Luna of Moon Stone pack and nothing in my past would change that. I had my family right here in this room and that was all that I needed.

“Can you wait that long?” Jackson asks me.

“We're going to have to, we don't have much of a choice” I shrug, “Besides I've been waiting my entire life!" I smile, and everyone laughs a bit.

“In all honesty, as much as I want to know about my parents, I always felt a bit of disconnect with who I was not knowing anything about where I came from.” I took a deep breath, “But I don't care if my ancestors once walked this earth as a founding Alpha, or just one of their omega followers, all that matters to me is you all. You are my family now and I found my mate, who just happens to also be the love of my life.” He beams down at me and squeezes my hand.

“Getting to be Luna of this pack was more than I could have even dreamed of!" I continued, thankful they were all letting me speak, “I never even thought about leaving Silver Moon, leaving their pack house. It wasn't in the cards for me. I woul be just as happy, and honored to be here with each and every one of you," I look to them all individually, “As an orphan, rogue, omega, than I would be as some direct descendant of the Moon Goddess herself” Everyone smiles at this.

“Thank you all for helping me try to figure out my past, and I do want answers. I've been longing for this more than I wanted to admit. However, it doesn't change the fact, no matter my rank, no matter my blood, that you all are my family now” I take a long sip of wine and try to hide in Jacksons neck.

I could hear sniffles, I knew Abigial and Gianna must be crying.

“Hear hear.” Lucas says standing, “To the orphan rogue Luna of Moonstone.” He raises his glass and everyone laughs and cheers following suit.

I sneak a peek and Gianna is looking at me with such love in her eyes, Abigial's face mimics hers, I was surprised to see william wipe a tear away too.

“Alright then, no one is going to top that” Jim stands up, “Are we allowed to eat now?” He turns to Gianna. We all laugh wi him.

“I think we've waited long enough, we can continue this conversation in the dining room.”
