ALPHA DEAN CALVERT’S POV
When I was a little boy and my father told me of the witch hunt that our pack was involved with a century ago with the Blackwood pack, I thought he was making it up. I thought they were telling stories to try and get me to behave and act like a true Alpha. Even at a very young age. But as I got older and my wolf finally appeared, I realized that the curse the witch had put on us, it was very real.
Every full moon my wolf goes crazy and tries to hurt the people that I love and sometimes I almost hurt myself.
I can barely remember these nights. Just the pain. It’s unbearable.
So, I thought if I left the pack for a while and spent some time in the human community then I might be able to find a way to break the curse.
Well, I didn’t find a way to break the curse. But I did meet a woman at a club one night, Marilyn. She was a really pleasant and wonderful woman and we had a lot of fun together.
I decided to stay in Seattle to spend more time with Marilyn after that but it wasn’t long before she announced that she was pregnant. It had to have been from that first night that we were together.
Well, that’s what I believed at first when she told me. But when I got to thinking about it, I couldn’t be too sure who the father of that baby was.
Marilyn didn’t really strike me as the shy quiet type who only hooked up with me and no one else in her life.
But I knew that Marilyn wasn’t my mate and I decided to leave so I could find my true mate. If it was even possible for me to do that. I had to at least try.
Not long after I left her my Beta’s mother Celie, moved moved into the house next door to Marilyn and she was quick to tell me that Marilyn had given birth to my pup.
I didn’t believe it at first. I knew that Marilyn wasn’t a saint and she was very flirtatious with me and even with other men while she was in front of me. I didn’t believe that the child was mine.
So, Celie sent me a photo of the girl, and I couldn’t deny it after that. She had a lot of my features, my eyes in particular. They were bluer than mine, but they were definitely mine. Celie told me that her name was Ella.
I knew that she was going to be brought up by humans so I wanted her to have a normal life. Or at least, try to have a normal life that wasn’t plagued with werewolves or curses or anything. So I instructed Celie to send Ella monthly financial support. I wanted to provide for my daughter, but I knew that she was happier without me in her life.
I did eventually find my true mate. That would have been the happiest day of my life.
But pretty soon afterwards, she found out about Ella. She knew that I was sending money to her and helping support her but I had never met her.
My mate, Ariel, confronted me with our daughter and was furious that I had a child to another woman.
She wanted me to make a choice. It was either our daughter or my bastard daughter. Not both of them could be the next Alpha of this pack. That honor would always go to the oldest child, and Ariel wanted our daughter to be the Alpha because she grew up in this life knowing about werewolves and she was strong and being trained for it. So I finally agreed to meet Ella and sever all ties with her. I just hadn’t gotten around to doing it yet.
I was hosting a meeting in my packhouse when all the influential people of the pack started piling into the conference room.
Once everyone was there we started discussing our latest progress of treating this Alpha mania that occurs every full moon. Everyone was aware of the curse and none of them took it personally when they had to hide on those nights so I didn’t kill them. I was doing everything I could to break the curse.
We were brainstorming with everyone in the room when Celie’s phone started ringing.
She took it outside to answer it and she returned a couple of minutes later.
“Alpha. That was Ella.” Celie told me through the mind link and I turned to look at her intensely. I knew that something had to be wrong if Celie was telling me about it.
