I was in my office drowning my sorrows in a 90 year ago whiskey. For the past eighteen years, this has been my routine, do my duties as alpha during the day and be the mournful widower, mourning both my mate and child during the night.
I wasn't even opportune to know the gender of my unborn child because Lisa wanted it to be a surprise when the baby finally comes.
And a surprise it was. Coming home to find out my wife killed her best friend, the vampire queen over some silly arguments I don't know about, and in retribution, she was killed along with our child, my heir following the supernatural law of 'An eye for an eye.'
Even if I didn't believe Lisa killed the queen all evidence says otherwise. I would have gone to war with the vampires but I had to protect what is left of my family, the pack.
I could never get over Lisa, despite the elders' efforts to get me re-mated with another woman, I turned them down.
Lisa may have died a murderer but I will do everything in my power to make sure her position as Luna is not taken by anyone else while I am still alpha.
I don't have an heir, so my best friend and also my beta's son Mason, my godson who is also like the child I was denied of, would take over the position as alpha.
I agreed to the decision when I vow to not make any other woman Luna, seventeen years ago.
Mason is a good pup, worthy of the position I and his father had been training him for since he was six.
Now he is twenty, and a few months now, I will hand over my title as alpha of the Silver's Wolf pack to him.
"Alpha!"
A knock followed by a shout snaps me out of my thoughts.
"What is the problem? You know I don't like to be disturbed at this hour."
I say barely giving him my attention.
"There is an intruder, who came with two other women claiming to be your daughter."
"My daughter?"
I questioned giving him my full attention now.
"Yes alpha, we were all surprised, but she looks so much like Luna...Annalise except for her hair color and eyes."
He said hesitantly to mention Lisa's name as I forbade anyone from mentioning it.
"She looks like Lisa!" I exclaimed rising from my seat.
"Where is she?"
"Alpha, I think this is a trap because she…"
"Take me to her!" I command, interrupting whatever is it the pup was about to say.
The pup leads me outside and I realize she is still in the forest, she wasn't granted entrance.
I pray this is not a cruel joke life is throwing at me or a trap as the pup suggested.
The closer I got, the more I lose hope, because I could smell.
"Why do I sniff vampires?" I growled.
"That's what I was trying to tell you, they all reek of vampires."
The pup says scared of my reaction.
My steps flattered, is this a trap planted by vampires, never lest I must see for myself.
When I got there, I saw my guards surrounding three women, then I saw her, Lisa.
She looks like when I just met her, young beautiful, but her smile is a tight one, not the joyfully one she always wore.
I am thrown back to when I first met Lisa, nineteen years ago.
She was trespassing, a witch who reeks of vampires proving she a witch loyal to them.
When she was caught by my guards she put up a really good fight, able to escape, I was alerted to the situation by Matthew my beta, Mason's father.
When I got there the only smell I could sniff was a sweet earthly smell like a flower, Lily.
When I saw her I knew she was my mate, so did she because she gave me a sweet smile. She had outsmarted my guards and was running when she turn and saw me, she froze.
"I will be damn, we are meant to be with each other."
That was her first statement to me.
I fell in love then, I knew I would anything to protect and claim her as my mate, my Luna.
She promised to come back as she fled and I told the guards to let her go. Matthew thought I was crazy and stupid to let an intruder go knowing full well she is loyal to a vampire.
I announced that night to the pack, I had found my mate and their Luna, not everyone was happy because she is from a vampire community, but when she came back they fell gradually for her like I did and accepted.
After the mating ceremony, she got pregnant, everything was fine until I had to go to another werewolf pack for a sudden emergency meeting.
She was two weeks due so she urged me to go promising I will be back in time for the baby's birth.
Outside communication was prohibited so I was two days late to find out my wife and child has been killed by vampires, I hated them since then.
This intruder looks so much like Lisa, I could say she is a replica except Lisa had strawberry blonde hair and brown eyes, not white hair and silver eyes.
Is this really my daughter?
"Are you the alpha?" the girl questions me with confidence but I could hear her uncertainty.
"Yes, I am Alpha Damien, and you are?"
"Silver Annalise Jacobs, your daughter." She declares.
One of her companions is a human, the other a witch, so it could be magic made her look like Lisa, I won't be deceived.
"I don't have a child, my child died eighteen years ago."
"Did she? It is not like you saw the body." She is right, I didn't see the body, because there was nobody to see. She was burnt beyond recognition so Matthew handled the burial before I came.
But I am sure she doesn't know that.
"You are wrong I saw the body, whatever you plan to achieve by pretending to be my child would not work, the vampires know that you were coming to your death. Seize them." I said as I turn to leave.
"Wait!" She commands a hint of desperateness in her voice, but it isn't obvious to those who aren't observant.
I face her to see she is dangling a necklace in her hands, not any necklace but Lisa's locket.
Matthew said it wasn't on her when her body was delivered.
"Where did you get that?"
"This and a silver blanket is the only thing my mother left behind for me.
Silver blanket? I had a silver blanket made for Lisa when I found out she was pregnant.
"You having her necklace and blanket could simply mean the vampires had it all this while and gave you to manipulate me."
I heard bones snapping like someone is about to go into transition, is she a werewolf.
A silver wolf replaces the girl making everyone gasp.
I will be damned, I am staring at the second silver werewolf ever born, there is no way she isn't my blood because I am a direct descendant of the first.
