The Alpha Bond 236

One Year Later

The sun was high in the sky, casting a golden glow over the newly rebuilt pack house. The scent of fresh paint filled the air as I stood on a ladder, brush in hand, carefully painting the intricate wooden trims of the house. The pack house had once been reduced to rubble during the war, but after months of hard work and dedication, we had rebuilt it stronger than ever.

A breeze rustled through the trees, bringing with it the mingling scents of the nearby river, blooming flowers, and the laughter of my mates.

"Stormi, you missed a spot," Austin called from below, smirking as he leaned against the railing of the porch.

I rolled my eyes. "Austin, I swear if you don't stop distracting me, I'll miss a spot' right on your face."

Alex, who was standing nearby with his sleeves rolled up and paint splattered on his cheek, laughed. "Honestly, I think she's doing a better job than you, Austin. Didn't you say you'd paint the back wall yesterday? Pretty sure it's still half done."

Isaiah, ever the instigator, grinned. “I think we all know who the real leader of this house is."

Austin scoffed. "We already knew that. Stormi rules the entire werewolf world, why not our house too?"

I smirked. "That's right, and don't you forget it."

I stepped down from the ladder, stretching my arms. It had been a year since the war ended, and in that time, we had rebuilt not just our home, but our society. The werewolves were no longer scattered, divided by old grudges and outdated traditions. We had become one unified force.

And as their leader-the Alpha of Alphas-I had taken on the responsibility of representing the werewolves in the human world. It wasn't an easy task, but it was necessary. After the war, humans had finally become aware of the supernatural world, and while some feared us, others were willing to coexist.

The witches had undergone a transformation as well. Under Rowena's leadership, they had formed the Silver Coven, a powerful and united force that now acted as a bridge between the magical world and the human world. Rowena had become a powerful figure, not just among witches, but as my right hand.

"Speaking of ruling the werewolf world," Isaiah said, setting down his paintbrush, "when are we going to discuss the real issue?"

I arched an eyebrow. "And what issue would that be?"

Elijah's lips curled into a smirk. "Pups."

I nearly dropped my brush. "What?"

Austin chuckled. "Come on, Stormi. We've been talking about it for months now. You've got three mates-so it's only a matter of

Alex grinned, wiping his hands on a cloth. "And the real question is, whose pup is going to be born first?"
