The Alpha's Young Mate

Clayton's POV

When we got back to the pack house Rose just invited the girl into the kitchen as if she had known the girl all her life.

I stand in the doorway as Rose asks Athena, "Do you like waffles?" Athena answers by saying, "I have never had waffles."

What kind of person has never had waffles? This girl Athena just keeps getting stranger and stranger by the minute. I don't like it, one more odd thing about her and I'm going to kill her.

Rose gets a waffle and puts it on a plate before she sets it in front of Athena.

"Thank you." Athena says to Rose as Rose hands her a fork. Rose smiles, "You're welcome."

Rose looks up at me and I mind-link her, 'l don't care if you feel like you know her or not, I don't like her in our house. She could easily try to kill you and the baby."

Rose sighs and mind-links me back, “Clay, I doubt she would be able to kill me when you are standing in the same room.’

Rose then sits down at the table next to Athena and Athena asks, "What are you naming the baby?"

I grow! as she says that and I walk over to Rose as she sits at the table. I can feel that Rose is confused to how Athena knows when Rose couldn't even figure it out herself.

“I'm not pregnant.” Rose says as she laughs slightly.

Athena raises an eyebrow, "Rosalind, you can't fool me.”

Rose sighs, "I don't know what I'm naming the baby yet." Rose pauses for a second before she asks, "Will you tell me the “long story’ on how you knew my name right away?"

I sit down in a chair next to Rose as Athena bites her bottom lip while she thinks on it.

It feels to me like she is trying to come up with a story.

"Let's hear it." I demand.

Athena frowns at me, "Alpha Clayton, you can't demand everything."

"I am an Alpha, I can demand if I want.”

Athena smiles at me and says, "All these Alphas now days are so foolish.”

"Are you calling me foolish." I ask as I stand up. Rose looks at me before back at Athena.

"You can tell me the story later if you want. You look tired.” Rose tells her. Athena shakes her head, "No, I'm fine, but could I have another waffle? Those are pretty good.”

Rose laughs a tiny bit as she starts to stand up, but I don't want her to do to much work so I get up quick and grab a waffle before throwing it on Athena's plate.

"Well thank you Clayton.” Athena smiles. I growl and sit back down near Rose.

Athena looks across the table at a bow! of raspberries that was left on the table from someone. She moves her hand over to grab it, but an invisible force pushed it away.

What. The. Hell. Yup, I don't like this girl. I stand up and growl warningly at Athena while she stares wide-eyed at the bowl.

She moves her hand to grab it again, but this time it flies all the way off the table and breaks on the floor — leaving the berries everywhere. Rose jumps up and stares at the bowl, "how - how did you do that?" I'm not waiting for any answers; I growl again and make my way towards Athena. Athena quickly stands up and says, "Alpha Clayton and Luna Rosalind, I am so sorry! I don't know how that happened! It's never happened before..."

I growl deeply as I say, "Don’t know how you did that, huh? What the hell are you?!"

I grab Athena by the arm — but as soon as I do I felt something powerful, I felt the moon goddess.

I drop her arm and stare wide-eyed at Athena as Rose stands behind me.

"Alpha Clayton and Luna Rosalind, let me fully introduce myself, I am Athena Artemis Crescent. My mother is Candra Crescent and she is the moon goddess."

While I stand there looking stupid and not saying anything Rose moves so she is standing in front of Athena and says, "You're the moon goddess’ daughter?”

Athena nods her head yes and smiles, “I'm also the one that picked you two as mates.”

So this girl standing in my pack house is the moon goddess’ daughter and is the person that chose my beautiful Rose and I to be mates? Rose smiles and asks, "Why are you here?"

"I hated being on the moon, we can't even shift into wolf form when we are there. I wanted to be here with all of the other wolves that my great grandmother created thousands of years ago, so, I left last night and I guess I ran onto your territory."

I can't say I don't believe Athena, when I grabbed her arm I felt that she is from the moon goddess’ family.

"We should go talk somewhere more private, I'm guessing you don't want everyone to know who you are.” Rose asks as she motions for Athena to follow her.

Athena does so and we all walk to my office, once we are in I shut the door and sit behind my desk.

I let it sink in that the moon goddess’ own flesh and blood is standing on my territory while Rose asks, "You said your great grandmother created werewolves thousands of years ago?”

"Yes, why?" Athena asks Rose. "I had this weird dream last night, and I have a feeling it means something.” Rose tells Athena.

Well, here we go with Rose's dream. It probably meant nothing, but it doesn't make sense on how she knew about the ViciousAsh Pack without ever learning about it.

"What was in your dream?" Athena asks curiously.

"There were two packs of all males; the ViciousAsh Pack and our pack, the GreyCrescent Pack." Rose pauses as she tries to remember everything in it.

To begin with, werewolves were only males, so when we had children it was with a human. If the baby was female she would not get the werewolf gene and would be human like her mother, but if the baby was male he had the gene so the father would take him and run away to raise his son in his pack.

Of corse, Rose doesn't know any of that because only Alphas and Betas know.

"There was a battle and the pack that won was ours. The moon goddess appeared and rewarded the winning pack with a female leader, which she called a Luna." Rose continues.

Again, another thing only Alphas and Betas know. It is known as the First Battle — and my pack won, so the moon goddess gave the Alpha, of our pack at that time, a Luna aka his mate.

"The first Battle,” Athena blurts out. Rose raises an eyebrow, "First battle?"

"Yea, at the time my great grandmother had made only two packs in the world, this pack and the ViciousAsh Pack. She had them compete and the winning pack got the first female werewolf and the first ever Luna." Athena tells Rose.

"Clayton knows about the first battle, you could've asked him." Athena shrugs.

Rose looks at me and rolls her eyes on why I didn't tell her and then she shakes her head, "There's more."

"More?" Athena asks. Rose nods and continues, "The first Luna then had a baby girl, and the alpha to the other pack-" Athena cuts Rose off, "The ViciousAsh Pack’s Alpha's name was Elis."

Rose then continues, "Elis said he wanted peace, yet he was going to kill their daughter, but instead he killed the Luna."

I knew that as well, that's why my pack killed off the entire ViciousAsh pack; for the loss of their Luna.

"Elis was very jealous and he did want peace, until he saw that the first Luna and his rival pack's Alpha had a child, known as the first ever pure werewolf. He wanted their child dead, but the Luna fought back and he ended up killing her." Athena says to Rose.

"And our pack killed their entire pack for revenge.” I add in as I am bored with the story.

Rose rolls her eyes at me and smiles before she looks back at Athena as Athena says, "Actually, a few members to that pack survived and ended up having bloodlines of their own, so there are a few around still today.”

I lean forward in my chair.

What? That's impossible!

"But why did I have that dream?" Rose asks Athena.

Athena smiles,

"Rose, you are a descendant from the very first pure werewolf."
