Reginald Caine. He was ninety years old and in perfect condition. If he took great care of his health, he could live for another twenty years. Werewolves were blessed with long life. But unfortunately the dangerous world of the wolf didn’t allow many to live that long. Fights, bloodshed, sabotage, betrayal, everything all leading to death.

It could be a savage existence.

For the ones who chose that path.

Not Gabriel’s grandfather though. The old man had retired and passed on the throne to the second eldest of his sons when he was ready to retire. That second child being Gabriel’s own father. Having three sons, and one oldest son who was very much alive and well, this decisions had caused strife and disagreement in the family.

His grandfather never gave his reasons for doing so, even years after. This was what made Gabriel’s path to being an alpha even much more harder. With his

father gone and his family ganging up against him, he had to deal with a lot of ponents.

Strangely, his grandfather knew that he would come out victorious.

“I see you kept the house’s original charm.”

His grandfather noted as they walked into the house.

Gabriel nodded.

“There’s not much to change.”

He replied and his grandfather nodded, his keen eyes studying every nook and cranny. He walked with a cane, even though Gabriel believed the old man

didn’t need it. A cane and a hat to cover his balding grey hair.

To anyone who didn’t know him he looked like he was in his seventy’s. They would have never been able to guess his

“That’s good. I like it the way it is.”

“My staff.”

age.

Gabriel said as he pointed to the staff that already lined up in front of them. Mrregory, Jenny, Sylvia and even Tony had come to join them.

“Ahh! Mr Gregory! Good to see you still work here.”

His grandfather said and Mr Gregory bowed.

“Your family has been my second home for many years sir.”

His grandfather nodded.

“Where’s the baby?”

He asked and Gabriel exchanged looks with Jenny.

Jenny stepped forward.

“I just put her down for a nap. She’s in the nursery.”

The old man nodded.

“Come on then! Let me have a look at her.”

“I think it’s better we have dinner first.”

Gabriel suggested and the old man shook his head, charging for the stairs.

“Just a quick hello and I’ll be gone.”

Gabriel sighed.

Oh this man could be so meddlesome.

“Alright then.”

He answered.

Together they went up the stairs and down the hall where Emilia’s nursery was. Gabriel studied his grandfather’s facial expression and saw that it looked like the old man was deep in thought.

“Something on your mind?”

He asked and the man ignored him.

Inside the nursery.

Gabriel’s grandfather stood rigid on the threshold.

“Is there something wrong?”

He asked and the man furrowed his eyebrows.

“I can smell… this peculiar scent…”

Gabriel froze.

Shit.

His grandfather was old, not dumb. Even if Lori wasn’t home, he would smell heon the baby or on the things she had touched and left and the nursery was practically Lori’s other room.

Of course he’d smell her.

He had to turn the conversation around.

“Ahh! That? We had someone come over to fix some fuses. He was here for a long time. And he’s human, so maybe that’s it.”

He answered as he ushered his grandfather into the room.

The old man didn’t look convinced, but he didn’t push it.

“Here she is.”

Gabriel said as they reached the front of the crib. Emilia was sleeping peacefully Like a little angel.

His grandfather smiled, then shakily ran a finger across her cheek.

“Pretty child.”

“What is her name?”

“Emilia. Emilia Caine.”

Gabriel smiled proudly. Yes, she was pretty. That much was true.

“Such a pity.”

“Pity?”

Gabriel asked and his grandfather nodded.

“Such a pity what happened to her mother. Who was she again?”

He asked and Gabriel started stammering.

“Uhm.. uhm… Her name was Suzie..”

“What pack?”

“A small pack in Canada.. Lightpaw.”

His grandfather scoffed.

“Lightpaw? Haven’t they been in conflict for years now?”

He asked and Gabriel nodded…

“Well yea…”

“Gabriel.”

“So not only did you have an illegitimate child with some nameless woman, she so happens to be without a pack?”

Gabriel sighed. His grandfather groaned dramatically.

“You’re an alpha! I expected more from you, I expected you to conduct yourselfth a little more class.”

Gabriel remained quiet. Best not to stoke the fire.

His grandfather rubbed at his face and glanced at Emilia again.

“I’m sure you know… she cannot be your heir.”
