BJ POV

I get out of bed and get dressed while Alia continues to sleep. I leave the room, going down to the dining hall where everyone is at having breakfast.

I head over to the table of food where I see mother.

"I was just making you and Alia a plate." Mother says as I walk over to her at the long table filled with food.

"Thanks," I tell her.

"How is Alia?" She smiles over at me, continuing to fill the plates with food.

"She's fine, her heat should pass soon." I stand here watching her place food on the plate, waiting for her to finish so I can get back to Alia. A female heat is addictive. When Kayla goes into heat, we can't get Freddy to leave her side until her heat is over. The second I left the room with Alia. Our instinct tells us to stay with them, to keep the other males away.

"When will your uncle Tim be back?" She asks.

"They didn't say," Father said they were leaving to track down the other firstborn Alphas, so I guess once they do that they'll return here with them.

Mother gives me a nod, sitting the two plates of food on a tray, along with two glasses of orange juice, and hand it to me. I take the tray from her, before looking over to where the guys are sitting.

"Freddy after breakfast I want you to take them to the training room to train." He gives me a nod and I make my way towards the door, leaving out the dining hall.

Once I get back to the room I see Alia laying on the bed awake now. She smiles over at me, sitting up against the headboard.

"Good morning." I give her a smile, walking over to the bed with the food. "How do you feel?" I ask her as I take a seat on the bed next to her, sitting the tray in front of us.

"I'm fine,  just hungry and really tired." She lets out a yawn. Once a female heat starts to pass it leaves the female drained, so she'll probably be sleeping a lot today.

"Your heat doesn't smell as strong as it did yesterday." It may not be as strong, but it's still there. After all the sex that we had yesterday, I still have this uncontrollable urge to take her here and now.

"Yesterday I felt fine, then out of nowhere, I started to feel weird. I realized I was going into heat, but by then it was too late. Di-did anyone gets hurt?" I can hear the worry in her voice.

"Everyone's fine," I tell her, easing her worry. She let out a sigh of relief, knowing that no one was hurt.

We sit and talk while we eat. Once we were done I place the plates and glasses on the tray and leave the room, going back to the dining hall.

I walk over to the table and sit the tray down next to the other dishes to be washed. I look over, seeing Adam who's sitting next to the little girl from yesterday, laughing as they eat.

I smile a little as leaving the dining hall, going back to the room. I walk into the room to see that Alia is already asleep again, knowing She'll probably sleep most of the day. I walk over and pull the covers over her. I frown as I look down at her, remembering that her family is locked away here.

I leave back out the room and make my way through the castle, leaving out the front entrance, heading over to the prison. Once I get to the prison door I twist the lock and push the door open. The scent of blood fill my nose, as I walk in closing the door behind me.

I make my way through the prison, passing the empty cells, until my eyes land on Alia's mother laying in a ball on the small bunk crying.

She frowns a bit, looking up at me. "Wh-what are you doing here BJ? Where Al-Alia? Where's my baby?" She asks getting up from the small bunk, moving closer to the silver bars with tears rolling down her face.

"Don't speak to him mother, he's behind all of this! He's nothing but a fucking liar!" I look a few cells down to see Josh glaring at me through the silver bars.

"What exactly did I lie about?" I walk further down, stopping in front of Josh's cell.

"You know exactly what the fuck you lied about!" His words come out through clenched teeth. He let out a growl glaring at me, stepping forward, but making sure not to touch the silver bars.

"I never lied about anything, you all just assumed I was a human," I say glaring back at him. I may have not told them I was a Lycan, but I never told them I was a human. I just let them believe what they had already assumed.

"What's g-going on?" Alia's mother asks in between sobs.

"He's behind all of this! The Lycan King is his father!" Josh let out another deep growl. "I guess you're done deceiving my sister and everyone else, now that you're letting your true self show." He continues to glare at me as he sniffs, picking up on my scent.

I let out a growl, getting irritated with the things he's accusing me of. "I never deceived anyone. I told Alia everything about me before I asked for her help and she chose to help me herself." Alia could've told me no and I would've been fine with that. I would've just found another way to get it all done. I didn't force Alia to do anything she didn't want to do. At one point I didn't want her to help, but she insisted. Not taking no for an answer.

"Well, I'm sure she'll regret helping you once she knows that your little plan got our father killed!" I frown, taking in his words. I can smell their father here. I start to make my way down through the prison, passing all the cells. Once I get to the end of the hall I walk into this huge cell to see four alphas hanging there with their arms chained above their heads.

They all are bloody but seem to be healing. My frown deepens when my eyes land on Alia's father. I see his body hanging there with a hole in his chest. I look down to see his heart laying on the floor at his feet.

How the hell am I supposed to explain this to Alia!

I leave out the cell, not knowing how I will explain this to Alia.

"Stay the fuck away from my sister or I will kill you and your whole family!!" Josh says as I pass his cell.

I let out a deep growl. "If you come anywhere near my family, Alia brother or not, I will kill you. If you so much as threaten my family again, I will kill you." My words come out through clenched teeth, stepping closer to the cell, feeling my teeth and nails starting to elongate.

This is the wrong time for him to make these kinds of threats. Alia is in heat and I'm on edge. I can feel the beast clawing to be let out, wanting to rip his throat out. My jaws clench down, feeling myself giving in to the beast.

I reach out grabbing the silver bar and focus on the burning pain of the silver to help distract and calm me down so I won't do something I may regret later. I watch as my nails slowly move back into their nail beds.

"Your father tried to kill my mother, so he got exactly what he deserved." I glare at him through the bars as he glares back. I let dominance leak from me a little, hitting him as a warning. I pull my hand away from the bar, watching the burns quickly heal.

He let out a growl as I walk off heading towards the door. I look over into Alia's mother's cell as she continues to cry. She's a good female and doesn't deserve the pain she's feeling right now. But what's done is done and even if I could I wouldn't change it. Her mate got what he deserved.

I leave out the prison and head back into the castle. I go up to the room to check on Alia to see that she's still asleep.

I walk over and take a seat on the bed next to her. I reach out and run my fingers through her hair, causing her to move closer to my touch out of instinct. I may not care about her father, but I care about her and I know she'll be hurt once she finds out her father is dead.

At first, I had hoped that things could have been handled without her father being killed, but after I found out what they did to my mother they all deserve what's coming to them.

I don't want to see her mother and brother harmed, but I can't do anything about that.

I let out a sigh and stand up making my way to the door, leaving Alia to rest. I make my way to the west wing of the castle, walking into the training room. I see some of the wolves standing around talking, while a few of them are in their wolf form sparring.

I make my way over to the guys where they are all in their wolf form.

"We're still taking them through the basics," Freddy tells me through the mind link.

I thought they would've gotten past the basics yesterday. If they're struggling with the basics, then they're going to have a really rough time when the real training starts. They all have gotten used to whatever style of fighting that their past pack has taught to them. Now they are leaning a whole different style of fighting that they have never seen or heard of. It will be difficult, but it will make their wolves stronger, making them stronger.

"How is Alia?" Donna asks walking over to me with Ryan and Lisa.

"She's okay, just resting right now," I tell her.

I look over at Ryan, standing there with Donna, watching the guys train.

"How long have you been a rogue vamp?" If he was apart of a vampire coven he would have some kind of training, but he said he taught himself to fight.

"I have always been a rogue vamp by choice. I never really liked being attached to a coven, I like to move around without having to answer to anyone. But now I have a reason to stay put." He looks over at Donna giving her a smile.

I give him a nod. "Show me some of this self-taught training you have." I back away giving him some space. "Attack me, don't hold back." I need to see what type of fighting skills he has.

"Ready?" He asks with a small smirk on his face.

I give him a slight nod.

He moves quickly attacking. He throws a punch, but I lean back a little causing him to miss. The momentum of his attack causes him to spin around with his back facing me now and I quickly put him in a chokehold.

"That mistake would've cost you your life in a real fight," I tell him, before letting him go. In a real fight, one simple mistake will cost you your life, so there's no room for mistakes.

"Steady yourself when you attack, try again," I tell him, backing away.

He moves quickly attacking again, throwing a kick to my side. I catch his leg, throwing him a couple of feet awa, sending him crashing to the ground.

"You're relying on just your speed and strength and that won't be enough." I walk over to help him up.

"I see that now." He reaches out and takes my hand, helping him up from the ground. Ryan will have to learn to properly protect himself. He can't rely on just his speed and strength. A wolf may let another wolf live after seeing that he had won, but since Ryan is a vampire, they will surely kill him no matter what.

I start to help Ryan with his defensive hand to hand combat training, while Freddy, Frank, and Fin continue to take Max, Joe, Lester, and Adrian through the basics.

After a couple of hours pass, I end the training session for the day, so they can all shower before heading to the dining hall for lunch.

Leaving out the training room Freddy and Frank catch up to me.

"A couple of the wolves that we saved from that vampire coven was wondering if they could join the pack. I talked to a few of them and they all pretty much have the same story of how they ended up at that coven. They were living a normal life as rogues amongst the humans and was taken from their homes by a group of vampires at night." Freddy tells me walking to the right of me, while Frank walks to my left.

"I can't be responsible for this many people. I don't know anything about being an alpha or leading a pack. Plus I don't have any more room left at my place for them." We were once a small pack, but now we have nine more people in our pack. My nature may push me to lead, but I'm not ready for this kind of responsibility.

"We can get a bigger house built. No fuck a house we need us one of these castles. Uncle Blake knows how to live." Frank says to Freddy and me.

I let out a sigh shaking my head a little. "How many want to join?"

"About ten or so," Freddy tells me.

"I'll think about it," I tell them.

I make my way back to the room to see that Alia is still asleep. I walk into the bathroom and take a quick shower and get dressed. I leave out going down to the dining hall to get Alia something to eat for when she wakes up.

I walk through the doors into the dining hall and make my way over to the long table of food where Andy and Adam are at making their plates.

"What have you been up to today?" I walk up behind Adam, putting him in a playful chokehold, before letting him go, ruffling his hair.

"Some of my new friends and I went exploring around the castle. We got lost, but I found the way back." He says proudly flashing me a big smile.

"Sounds like you guys had fun." I give him a smile and start to make Alia and me a plate.

"Yeah, we did." He says happily as he grabs his plate and goes over to the table where the other kids are.

"Are you forming a pack?" Andy asks looking over at me.

"Where did you hear that?" I stop fixing the plates and look over at him with a raised brow.

"I overheard Freddy and Frank talking about it when I passed them on my way to the dining hall," Andy tells me.

I let out a sigh. "Some of the wolves want to join our pack, so I told them I'll think about it. I don't know anything about being an alpha or leading a pack. You're an alpha, what can you tell me about leading a pack?" I ask needing some advice. It never felt like I was the alpha of our small pack because we're family, but now things have changed.

"I may have alpha blood, but I don't know much about being an alpha. I know more about being a healer than I do about being an alpha. I left my father pack when I was eighteen and  joined my mate's pack." He says.

"Why did you leave your father pack only to follow another alpha male? I never heard of an alpha male being a healer and I never heard of an alpha male joining a pack to follow another alpha male." That really doesn't make much sense. He might as well just stayed with his father pack if he's only leaving to follow another alpha. The only time an alpha male leaves his original born pack is when he's looking to lead his own pack.

"It's a long story." He frowns a little as he shakes his head.

"I have time." I want to know the story of how all this came to be.

He let out a small sigh, giving me a nod. "Well, I met your uncle Fred when we were ten years old and we became best friends. I would sneak away from my pack and ride my bike all the way here to hang out with Fred and to watch your father and Fred train. Of course, I didn't have my wolf yet like Fred, but Once I got my wolf at sixteen Fred started to train me, and sometimes I would even join the training session with your father and Fred."

"So I guess you knew my father pretty well," I say look at him.

"I guess you can say that, but no alphas really liked your father because he's stronger than any alpha could hope to be, and that's something all alphas hate, to be weaker than someone. So when my father found out that I was coming here, he commanded me to never come here again. But Fred told your father to lift my father's command. Your father didn't want to interfere with my father's decisions, but he did it anyway seeing that your father will do almost anything for Fred." Uncle Fred may have never said it, but we all know he's like a son to my father. Father raised and took care of him since he was four. Uncle Fred told us the stories of how father found him in the forest.

"After your father lifted the command, I secretly continued to come here to hang out and train with your father and Fred. I may be the fourth born child, but by the time I was eighteen, I was stronger than all my brothers. They couldn't figure out how I had gotten so strong. People thought I was chosen by the goddess to hold such power, but your father training was the reason I held that kind of power. So one day my father announced to the pack that I would be the one to lead the pack next and that caused my oldest brother to hate me. He felt as if I had stolen his birthrights. I told my brother that he could have the pack, I didn't want it. But his alpha ego made him feel like the only way my father would feel that he was worthy of leading the pack was to beat me. So one day in front of the whole pack he challenged me for the alpha position." I frown hearing what Andy is saying. When challenged for the alpha title the fight is to the death. How can anyone be willing to kill their brother over a fucking title?

"But seeing that I wasn't the alpha yet, I didn't have to accept his challenge. I turn the challenge down and that only pissed him off more. So he brought my mate into the situation and out of anger I accepted his challenge. He attacked me the second I accepted his challenge. I lost control when the fight started. My father and the rest of the pack stood there and watched as I ripped my brother's throat out. Once the fight was over I realized what I had done, and since that day I never wanted to lead a pack, after having to kill my brother over leading a pack. I couldn't stay there anymore after what I did, so I left the pack and joined my mates pack. She was a healer there and taught me everything. That's how I became a healer." I look at him with pity. I never knew Andy had such a rough background, other than losing his mate. He keeps it all hidden inside.

"I guess that explains why you never speak about your family, or why we never met them." I know Andy had family, but I thought the reason why none of us have ever met them was to keep us safe.

"I haven't been back to the pack since that day. My family tried to see me, but I always told the alpha not to let them onto our land. I couldn't bring myself to face my family after what I did." Andy let out a small sigh. I can tell that he misses his family.

"It wasn't your fault and maybe they were trying to tell you that." From what Andy just told me, his brother was filled with hatred and jealousy that drove him to want to kill Andy. He was a bomb waiting to explode and hurt Andy or someone else. It wasn't Andy's fault, but he needs to hear that from his family. "I can see that you miss them and I'm sure they miss you too. Maybe you should pay them a visit." I tell him.

After talking with Andy for a little longer, I leave the dining hall going back to the room with the food. I walk into the room and sit the tray on the table, then walk over to wake Alia up.

I run my fingers through her hair, causing her to slowly open her eyes.

"I got something to eat." I walk over to the table, grabbing the tray.

I take a seat on the bed next to her as she sits up.

"Have I missed anything?" She asks, looking over at me. Thoughts of her father pass through my mind. I want to tell her, but I don't think now is a good time.

"Some of the wolves we saved from that coven wants to join our pack," I tell her.

"What did you say?" She asks.

"I said I'll think about it. If I did let them join the pack you'll be their luna so what do you think about letting them join?" I look over at her waiting for her to answer.

"I wouldn't mind. It was always a dream of mine to be a Luna since a little girl. My mother pretty much grooms me to be a Luna one day.." She says smiling as she starts to eat.
