Here is the first update for the sequel!

**********************

Emma's P.O.V.

Rumor has it that the Alpha King of North and South America is planning an attack on our home base of the Smith Organization. As the leader of said Organization, I was understandably worried.

Last time such a rumor surfaced, I ignored it. That mistake cost me Josh and Chris.

"A recon mission," said Laurine and I am dragged away from my thoughts and back to our conversation.

I shake my head, "Sorry, can you repeat that?"

Laurine smiles sadly at me. She has become my closest friend throughout the years and knew that this news hit too clos to home for me. Laurine had been friends with Josh and Chris too. Hell, everyone had been. 

She repeats herself, "I suggest we do a recon mission. You know sniff around their territory as wolves and check out if their security has changed since last time."

I nod distractedly, "Sure, I'll go too. The Alpha King only knows my name, not my apparence or my wolf's apparence."

Laurine puts her hand on my shoulder, "You alright, Emma?"

I put a fake smile on my face, "Yup, I am ready to kick some Royal ass."

Laurine laughs, "Who else are you bringing along?"

I answer, "I was thinking Ben, Leon, and Alex. They are the fastest in our group besides me."

Max enters the room, "Emma, your parents and brothers are here."

I frown, "Who told them about the latest news?"

Max looks sheepishly at the ground, "I did, but it wasn't my fault. Ava threatened bodily harm if I didn't warn her when things like this went down."

I laugh, "That's mom alright. Bring them in."

Max looks relieved, "Thank God you said that because they were going to come in anyway."

I chuckle and begin putting away my work to clear my desk. If mom found out about the recon mission we want to go on, she will force me not to go saying that it was too much like Josh and Chris.

I mean that happened two years ago, about a month after I took over. I should be over it by now, right? I sigh, probably not.

I hadn't heard Jackson enter before he says, "What's got you sighing like that?"

I turn to face my brother, "Idiots frustrate me."

Ethan who appears next to his triplet, "Does that mean I frustrate you?"

I smirk, "Of course, didn't you know?"

Ethan fakes hurt, "You wound me, truly wound me."

Jackson and I burst out laughing. It was just like old times and I felt my worries drift away. 

Mom came in next with our fathers flanking her, "Now what is it I hear from Max?"

I look to my triplets for help who just smirk. Mom could be scary when she is mad. I guess she had to be, leading a rogue Organization formed mostly of male specimens. Mom could put the fear of God into any person. It was useful for her with us and our new siblings.

She had a set of fraternal female twins, Ashley and Laura who are 3 years old and a little brother who is 2 years old. 

Speak of the devils, the twins come barreling in the room, "Emma! Emma!"

They jump up and attack me on either side. They were really adorable, but seriously lethal at moments. Where were Jackson and Ethan's kids?

They had a set of identical twins, Liam and Lucas who were 3 years old too. Auriel was also heavily pregnant with a set of triplets, two boys and a girl, like us. 

As if to answer my question, Liam and Lucas rush in, "Auntie Emma! Auntie Emma!" 

The kids seemed to have seize the concept of that I was their aunt and the other's sister. At least, Mom has announced she is done having children. I mean I hope six was enough.

I put down Ashley and Laura to pick up Liam and Lucas. I haven't found my mate yet, but I love kids. Honestly, I am not that excited for a mate. If he is anything like my brothers and fathers, he will be over protective and will want me to quit the Organization.

Fat chance of that ever happening!

I was grateful that the kids had interrupted Mom's interrogation. But it got her started a whole new line of thought.

She gushes, "Look how you are with kids! You will make a great mother. So what about your mate?"

I groan, "If I found him, you would be the first I tell."

Mom pokes me in the ribs, "I don't understand why you don't go searching for him?"

I retort, "Males are the one who are supposed to go searching."

She looks at me, nonplussed, "What wolf will look at the head of a rogue Organization for his mate?"

I wince at her tone, "I trust whatever the Moon Goddess has planned for me."

My mom harrumphs, clearly not believing my words, "I want grandchildren, missy."

I point at Liam and Lucas, "You have some and kids of your own."

She sighs, "I want some from you too. You do need heirs for the Organization."

I look at Ashley and Laura, "I could just train them."

Mom shakes her head, "No, I refuse."

At that moment, Laura mumbles, "But Emma told us and we want to."

Mom glares at me, "Well, Emma forgot to talk to Momma first, okay sweeties?"

Ashley stomps her foot, "We lead!"

Mo sighs and shoots me another glare, "Think about it first."

Laura looks up at Mom, "Liam and Lucas lead! Us too!"

It is true that Liam and Lucas are the future Alphas and don't have much choice in the matter. I am proud of my sisters for talking back to Mom.

Mom just changes the conversation, "So, are you going to explain what Max told me?"

I resume putting away my files, "Not really."

Mom marches up to me and grabs me by the ear, "Listen, you might think you are grown, but I am still your mother. You will not be going on any mission where you are too close emotionally."

Ryder adds, "Your mom is right, you know."

I glare at him, "What about when you rescued mom with our help? Wasn't that mission too close emotionally too Dad?"

He winces as I am correct. I always win these types of confrontments with them, but never my mom. She just puts me in my place.

I try to compromise, "Here mom, I have a solution. I go on a tiny-miny recon mission and then I don't go back on the field about this problem."

Mom lets go of my ear, "Fine! But Max will tell me if you do something wrong."

Everyone in the room had been looking on because they knew better than to disobey mom. Mo struts back over to her mates who are holding Ben.

She turns towards me, "Where is Laurine? We have so much to catch up on."

I point soundlessly to the left where I saw her leave when Max burst into the room. Once she is gone with all the kids leaving Jackson and Ethan behind, I turn to them.

I shoot them the fiercest glare I can, "Thanks for the help!"

Ethan defends himself, "It's not like we could have helped. It's mom."

I take a step towards them, "You guys are Alphas', for God's sake, of the biggest pack in the world besides the Alpha Kings. You could have done something!"

Jackson points out, "You are the head of the biggest multi-species Organization in the whole world!"

I slug Ethan in the shoulder, "That doesn't mean anything!"

Ethan sobers up quickly, "What is the reason why mom dragged us out here?"

Of course, she didn't tell them. They would want in on the action, not to stop me. She only brought them as potential reinforcements for her, not me.

I collapse into my office chair, "Rumor has it that the Alpha King is planning an attack on us. We just recently accepted his brother into our ranks who fled the castle because he had a witch for his mate. It would have been alright but his mate had been captured by the Alpha King and tortured. The witch refused to help him at all and apparently survived most of the torture. He released his mate and ran the day before her execution. I think this attack is about honor or something."

Jackson asks, "Are you sure the source is accurate?"

"Same source as last time. Even if it wasn't, I would still act on it. I won't let it be like Josh and Chris," I say.

A somber silence fell over the room. All three of us lost in our thoughts. After handing over the Organization to me, Josh and Chris went to go visit a struggling European branch. The Alpha King of North and South America informed the Alpha King of Europe of their arrival. A source told me of this, but I ignored it. Two days later, I got the news that Josh and Chris had been murdered and the branch they wanted to help destroyed. It took us six months to rebuild that branch. I did it for Josh and Chris. If it hadn't been struggling, they could have defended themselves.

Ethan yanked me out of my thoughts, "If you need help, all you have to do is ask."

I smirk, "Can you figure out a way to stop Max from reporting to Mom?"

That would really put a damper on my plans if I cannot go into the field with my people to stop this potential threat.

Jackson smiled, "My threat will scare him more than mom's."

I smile, "Let's go catch up with our friends. Tony was dying to see you guys."

With that, we left my office and headed to the lunch room. I was going to make sure that the Alpha King wouldn't hurt my family ever again, not like we did to Josh and Chris.
