Alpha Carlos

-12-

France

Time jump: 1 month after graduation

"I am going to miss Hawaii! I want Poke right now!" I whined sitting on the couch airplane seats. Carlos just laughed. He had also loved Hawaii as much as I did. The flight attendant did her thing and we started watching a movie during our 2 hour flight back home.
"We can get some at the local Hawaiian restaurant back home"

As soon as we landed we went straight to our pack.
"I am so tired! I am ready to pass out" I got out of the car with Carlos. The pack was very quiet, since everyone was at home at this time. My wolf was going crazy, the same feeling when I first shifted and wanted to be around Carlos constantly. We walked in the house and found Dessy and Tony asleep on the couch while the tv played Modern Family.

"Welcome home!" Dessy woke up and jumped up to me. "I have missed you!"

"Dessy! I've only been gone 2 weeks" I laughed at her. Tony had now gotten up and was folding the blanket.

"Come on love, time for bed" Tony picked up Dessy from where she was standing talking to me and dragged her away.

"Alpha Stone!" One of the warriors came in running. I waved hello and headed up to the room while Carlos stayed back talking with the warrior. I laid down and took of my shoes, sending them flying in the air.

Carlos

"What is it?" I growled, watching my sleepy mate climb the stairs on his own. I wanted to go carry him. "What is so important you come bother me this late?"

"There is a puppy on the edge of death, it's a rogue pup. It looks like it's parents left it there to die" I growled. How could a parent not care about their cub. "We thought you would know what to do"

"Is it in the hospital?" He nodded. "Then have the doctor try everything they can to keep it alive"

The warrior linked the doctor and made their way out of the house. I walked in the room to find France fast asleep. I took off my shoes, my shirt and my pants and joined him in bed.

I woke up the next morning and the bed was empty. I got up and looked in the bathroom and he wasn't in there either.

'Where are you babe?' I asked on mind link.

'Hospital'

I ran out of the room, ran through the house to the special side the hospital was at. I saw France holding the small pup in his arms. It was a rogue so it was shifted into a wolf pup. I smiled at France and went up to him.

"Find something you like?" I asked, ruffling his hair.

"Mine" he whispers.

"Ours" I reply. "Doctor how is the pup doing?"

"She is doing just fine, I was able to get her fluids, now we are trying to get her to shift" the doctor explained.

"Shift baby" France whispered to her and suddenly the baby was shifting. "Oh shit!"

"Language babe!" I scowled at France. "Doctor have any of my warriors updated you on the location of the pups parents?"

"No sir"

"I'll be back France, don't get too attached in case her family is found" I knew that France was already attached but I needed to try and find the pups family.

I walked into my office and linked the pack to go searching for a rogue female who looks like she just had given birth.

After hours of watching France pace back and forth with the pup in his arms the warrior who had found the pup came in.

"Alpha Stone, we found the female wolf but she is rejecting the pup" he said, out of breath.

"Why?"

"She says, that she can't raise a baby without her mate and you killed her mate" I sat back down thinking of the guy I had killed earlier this year with his mate right in front of him. France looked at me with stranger eyes.

"Okay" was all I was able to say. "France, I"

"No, need to explain. I know that you had to do it for a reason. I know what being an alpha entails. But can we please keep her?" He begged with his eyes.

"Are you sure you're ready to be a dad?" I asked.

"Of course I am!"

I smiled and took the pup in my arms from the spot she was laying on the couch. She had the blue eyes pups have when their soul is pure. The same eyes that France still had.

"Our pup, will be the future alpha of this pack" I held her and handed her to him. Knowing his wolf was already attached. I looked at them both sitting on the couch and was in love, even more than I already was.

"Let's go" I grabbed my wallet and keys from my desk and pulled him with me. I went into the garage and looked around. Finally, I saw it all the way up top. I grabbed the car seat and smiled.

"This was going to be for my niece's when she was a baby but my cousin ended up getting a fancier one, my mom always said that she would want my kids to use it"

"Awwe, perfect" we walked to France Camry, because I wasn't about to drive around with a baby in my truck. I secured the car seat in and then France handed me the baby.

"Let's go get what we need for our baby" I pulled him and kissed his forehead. I looked at the little girl in the rearview mirror. My wolf accepting her as our own, making it hard not to love her.

"A name" I say. "She needs a name" France looks back at the cooing pup.

"Abella"

"Noa" I added.

"Will it be Stone or Goodman"

"How about Stone?" I ask pulling out a rock. It wasn't any type of rock. It's a mate rock. A rock given to your mate when you want to announce your love to the rest of your pack.

"Yes!"

"Abella Noa Stone and her daddies Carlos Stone and Francesco Stone"

Abella Noa Stone

The rock:
