Chapter 77
A mothers worry.
(Momma Beth)
So maybe I haven’t been filled with the best ideas of late but when your family is being pulled apart it’s
a mothers job to keep it glued together. My son needs my help but he will never actually ask for it, his
father raised him to be a strong Alpha but strong Alphas don’t ask for help for mere females. I don’t
think for a second that Fraction will suffer through this alone but there will be a reason he hasn’t
thought to tell me what’s going on.
Everything I have learned is from pressing my ear against doors or listening to the arguments rise
through the house. I’ve picked up bits and pieces. I’ve learned enough to know this Faye female has
her claws. in Fraction but he doesn’t seem to like it. That doesn’t scream mate to me and yet he can’t
seem to deny her, if she issues this challenge there will be nothing any of us can do. Anna will have to
leave the Pack until the day Fave dies or is banished.
Not having the answers on how to help I figured I would come and ask. for help, so under the guise of
wanting someone alone time I’ve come to the Elders. If anyone has any idea what is going on and how
this. female is affecting Fractions emotions it will be them. They keep records from when the Packs first
landed here, they have witnessed so much and know more which is why they are the government and
controlling force within all of our Packs. They are trusted to guide us when we cannot do it ourselves.
I’ve been here for two weeks and I have learned nothing so far, each Elder I speak to seems to tell me
the same thing. It’s not possible, when an Omega mates it’s for life and their wolf automatically picks
the strongest wolf’ around.
Sitting in the library I sigh as I close the massive book I’ve been
reading, this one has been more of the same. Omega’s mate for life, they have one fated mate…
honestly if I could punch whoever wrote these books I would.
“Beth?” I hear a soft male voice speak, looking around I see Elder Thomas standing next to a stack of
books.
“It happened?” I ask him just as quietly.
“It did. From what I understand when the connection was broken they both passed out. They will be out
for many hours as their wolves come to terms with the broken bond.” I sigh and put my head on the
table.
“My grandson?” I ask the wooden surface below my face.
“I believe he has been left in the care of his father, it would make sense. An Omega out in the world is
bad enough, never mind adding a toddler into the mix.” I have to say I agree with him on that one.
“I should head home then, he will need my help.” I tell Elder Thomas.
“Beth there is something you should know, the others have had a meeting and we have decided you
need to know. It could be nothing but it could also explain a lot.” I look at him in confusion, he’s been
hiding stuff from me.
“Why am I only hearing of this now?” I ask him.
“We did not think it was useful information and now we know it might. be,” he holds out a small book to
me. “Some traditions have been forgotten over time, some have been forced from us out of
preservation.”
Once I have taken the book from him he quickly turns around and. leaves the library. Looking at the
small book in my hands I notice there. is no title of author on the front of it. There is an embossed wolf

surrounded by seven stars and one crescent moon, there is a slight
shine to the book and when I title it against the light the wolf seems to howl at the moon symbol. Pulling
the little table lamp closer I open the- book to the first page and settle in for a long night, the print is tiny
like someone wanted to squeeze as much information as possible on one
page.
I don’t care if I have to read every word ten times over, if it will help my family I will soak up every piece
of knowledge I can from this book and any other they throw at me. Feeling my phone vibrate in my
pocket. I pull it out and look at the name of who is calling.
“James?” I ask upon answering the phone.
“Beth. The challenge has happened.” James tells me as I hear a door closing. he must be locking
himself into the office, “Anna has gone.”
“I will be home soon, I just have some things to finish up here.” Picking the book back up and looking at
the last sentence I just read.
‘Once there were many types of shifters in the world, some who could bend the very will of others to
their wimps and needs.”
Disconnecting from the call I don’t listen for James’ answer, I become engrossed in the book as I learn
more about shifter history than I ever thought possible. By chapter two I am up and out of my chair and
heading back to my room to pack my bag. If this book is right my son needs me and things are about to
get much worse for him and Anna. Once I have packed my bag and have it slung over my shoulder I
pick up the book and my phone and dial Alpha Darryl, Anna is going to need help and he will know how
to get it to her.
“Beth?” Darryl asks after the third ring.
“Darryl, I need your help. Anna is in danger.” I tell him as I hurry down the stairs and head for the front
door, “I’m on my way home but

this can’t wait.”
“Tell me.” He says without hesitation.
