Alpha Daddy
Chapter 9

"No! Its homey and cozy. My house always felt like the pack home, never my home. Heath would bring his pervert friends and I would be locked in the room." She frowned swirling her bane. "Oh sweetie. I'm sorry." Riri frowned pulling her into a hug.

"No more down talk! How was it growing up here?" Quin smiled looking at us. "It was peaceful until you know." I laughed sipping my beer.

"Aria?" A familiar deep voice asked. I turned and grinned. Running into the arms of the man who was like a second father. "Jackson!" I sighed in content. "Oh hon I missed you." He whispered hugging me closer.

"Papa Jackson!" Zoey and Joey yelled. We pulled away just in time. They both clung onto each leg of Jackson. "How are my little peanuts?" He laughed hugging them. Immediately Zoey started telling him about her ballet classes and how nervous she was to join a new ballet class here. While Joey told him about his baseball team and how much he was going to miss them.

"Well I'm sure I can pull some strings and get you into the Wolves Baseball Team here." He winked making Joey jump up and down. "Thank you papa Jackson." He grinned before running off to tell Quin. I laughed and turned back to Jackson, who was carrying a sleepy Zoey.

"Thank you." I smiled. "No problem sweetie." He smiled kissing my cheek. "I'll get her from you." I gently grabbed Zoey and walked into the house. "Momma." Zoey yawned tightening her hold around my neck.

"Yeah?" I asked walking into my old room and setting her down on my bed.

"IS...

does our dad live here?" She said softly playing with her long brown hair, the exact replica of my own.

I froze and quickly turned my face away from hers. I didn't want to lie to her. But I didn't want to hurt her. "Please mommy. I want to meet daddy." She pleaded her chin quivering.

"Oh baby. He's here. But .... I don't know if he has time to meet you." I sighed undoing her long braid. "It's okay mommy." She whispered wiping a tear away from my cheek. I frowned and realized I was crying. "Sleep tight baby." I smiled kissing her cheek and tucking her in before walking out.

I leaned against the door and bit my fist to keep in the sobs. I always dreaded

this. The day I had to tell my kids, my little angels, that they couldn't meet their daddy.

"Ariana!" I quickly wiped the tears away and rushed downstairs. Jake was pacing back and forth with a worried look on his face.

"Jacob what's wrong?" I frowned rushing in front of him.

"I'm so sorry!" He mumbled running his had through his messy blonde hair. "I.... he just knew!" He whispered covering his face. To say I was confused was an understatement. "What are you talking about?"

"Caleb! He knows you're here! He's on his way." My heart skipped a beat at the thought of seeing him. I could even feel my wolf stir at the thought.

I remember the moment I stepped on that plane to leave, my wolf was clawing. She was furious we were being weak. She wanted him, no matter how angry he made her. Imagine going through chest pains ten times worse than the chest pains when he slept with Sarah. I was scared for my pups but Jackson assured me they'd be fine, as long as I didn't give in to my wolf.

"Ariana!" My head snapped back at a worried Jackson. "Zoey isn't upstairs and I can't replace her." And just like that my heart dropped. "Zoey!" I yelled running upstairs to an empty room. No, this can't be happening. I ran throughout the whole house and I couldn't replace her. By now tears were streaming down my cheeks and it was getting harder to breathe.

And for once my wolf decided to surface knowing her pups were in danger. As soon as I stepped in the back I felt a pull to the woods. I could smell another wolf and it was making my wolf antsy. "Mommy."

"Joey stay with Quin." My eyes flashed. There was a grown male wolf in the woods with my baby. "Come out." I growled. A couple seconds later Zoey popped out. On top of a midnight black wolf that made my heart stop. "Caleb."

"Mommy! His name is Wolfie not Caleb!" Zoey giggled breaking me out of my daze. "Zoe baby, please get off of Ca-Wolfie." I pleaded glancing back at Quin who had a firm hold on Joey.

Joey was glaring daggers at Caleb. He always knew when there was danger around or when I was uneasy, he was such a mommas boy. "Joey go inside with Quin." I demanded as Caleb's wolf form stepped forward growling at me.

"No!" He yelled breaking out of Quin's hold and ran to stand in front of me. "Joey!" I hissed grabbing onto his arm. "Listen here Wolfie-" he growled "you don't growl at my mommy! My sister likes you but I don't!"

I gasped and pulled him into my chest as Caleb let out a weird noise. "Mommy

Wolfie didn't mean it." Zoey pouted. "Zoe get off of him." Joey demanded. His Alpha blood was starting to show up.
