“Ander will be here soon, you don’t want him to see you being all grumpy do you?” I am keeled on the kitchen floor trying to plead with my six year old to go outside and join all of his friends. We have most. of the Pack over for a Halloween cookout, Anna has gone all out for the kids she is determined our Pack house rivals Darryl’s.

“Alpha’s don’t get grumpy.” Thomas tells me in a sullen voice with his arms crossed over his tiny chest.

“You’re going to squash your pumpkin,” I tell him, pulling his arms down by his sides. I see James come into the kitchen and open the fridge out of the corner of my eye, “even James has a pumpkin on.” I nod over at James who has a pumpkin face painted onto the side of his cheek, I have no doubt this was one of the mother’s trying to get him involved.

“Don’t care.” standing up I rub my hands through my hair and look at James with a: help me, kind of look.

“What’s up little Alpha?” James asks as he pops open his bottle of beer.

“Don’t want to be a pumpkin, I’m not a baby!” I almost laugh as he says this with an actual foot stomp.

“Well what do you want to be?” James asks diplomatically, honestly when it comes to Thomas he’s a miracle. He somehow speaks six year old better than me or Anna.

“Ander is a Gun Slinger,” James scrunches up his nose in disgust.
