IAN'S BLOODLINE: THE ALPHA QUEEN

Ian's POV : 

I sat quietly outside our pack, under a huge tree, on a bench, looking at Amelia who was playing with the orphaned pups from the orphanage. Even after some years had passed, she was still the same lady I fell in love with: kind, gentle, respectful, loving, and hardworking.

Nothing about her had changed, not even her beauty.

"When will you ever stop looking at her like that?" Neo asked as he approached me.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

"Do I look at her like she's all I have on earth?" I continued to ask seriously.

"Yes, but at times you look at her like you want to bend her over and thrust your..."

"Neo! That's enough," I warned loudly, cutting him off before he could finish his sentence.

He sighed loudly, then took a step closer and slowly sat down on the bench next to me.

"Tomorrow is Tamara's birthday. She will be turning sixteen, and you know how important it will be for her. Also, Felix is looking forward to us attending the party," he said as I sighed heavily.

Everything felt weird and somehow funny with each passing year.

Not so long ago (years back, which felt like a few months to him), we were all fighting to protect the pack from the alpha king, and after that, we went after Felix's parents because they too were a threat.

Years went by, and everything around us was so peaceful and quiet.

Amelia gave me two amazing pups whom I loved dearly, and Neo soon had his own with Toni. After two years, Blade had a pup, and that very year, Whitney got pregnant. It was a blessing but not shocking at all because what shocked us was when we discovered that Felix was expecting a child the very next year.

We were all stunned, and at first, I thought it was a lame joke from Jeannie. But then, when we visited them, we truly got to see her growing bump. We didn't know how to react as we stood looking at her for five minutes without a word.

"She was a vampire. How was it possible for her to become pregnant? Was it because she was bonded to a powerful fairy?"

That's the only thing that went through my mind at that time. I even got scared, thinking she wouldn't safely deliver the child, but I was wrong.

After six months, she safely delivered her child. It was way too early, and we thought the child would be premature, but boy were we wrong. The child was very healthy and looked like a normal child, except for the two fangs in her mouth, proving that she was a born vampire.

Tamara was a lively child who grew up close to our children, and soon she became a part of our family, just like her mother.

Every year, she either came over with Felix and the rest to celebrate Christmas, or we went to their side to do the same.

Although this year was very different because she was turning sixteen, the right age to first taste human blood and the chosen age at which she would make her first hunt.

Felix was very strict with her, allowing her to feed on animal blood and stopping her from making her own kill. But now, he was going to step back and let her do that. So no matter what, we were all supposed to be there.

"We will all go. I just hope you informed Blade and called Whitney to remind her of the birthday," I answered, then stood up.

"Of course I did, although I doubt if she will attend. Have you forgotten how occupied she is with taking care of Lexi?" he asked.

Lexi was pregnant and expecting her first child. Her pregnancy surprised us as well because all those years we thought she was barren, but it turned out that she wasn't. She was having difficulty because she was expecting in her adult years.

"I remember, and either way, you did great informing us all," I answered, then glanced at him with a smile.

"I'll go and talk to our mother for a bit before I hit the training field. Feel free to join me anytime, brother," he said, then stood up and moved closer, patting my back.

"I will join you soon," I answered when he turned and began to walk away.

Axel huffed softly and purred when Amelia's beautiful scent invaded our nostrils.

I quickly looked ahead and saw her walking towards me with a smile.

She raised her hand and tugged her long hair behind her ear, a gesture she usually did around me whenever she felt somewhat shy.

"You are looking at me a little too much," she said in a low tone when she stood in front of me.

I raised my hand and pressed it against her cheek gently.

"You know that I can't help myself when it comes to you. Despite you getting older, you still look as sexy and beautiful as you were back then," I answered in a whisper.

She giggled softly, then stopped and moved her hand, pressing it on top of mine.

"And you look as handsome as you were when I first set my eyes on you. Actually, you look sexier and more mature than back then," she said softly as I grinned happily.

I leaned in and pressed my lips against hers tenderly. I was about to grab her waist and thrust my tongue in when I heard Kyle's voice.

"Dad, Roxanne is picking a fight with Larson," he said through our mind link.

Kyle was my little boy, and Roxanne was my eldest daughter. They were so close to Neo's son, Larson, although recently I started noticing that they were usually barking insults at each other, mostly Roxanne and him.

I pulled back and looked at Amelia apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I have to go and check on the kids in the living room. We will talk soon," I said, then quickly turned and approached the pack house. As I got closer, I could hear Roxanne's voice threatening Larson through the pack's mind link.

She sounded very angry, and her voice was full of dominance. Whoever was close to her was going to be very uncomfortable. After all, she was an alpha queen just like her mother.
