Phased, Alpha Ruben admires Ben with loving pride reflecting in his eyes. He holds Luna Alexi in front of him hugging him. His wulf speak, sent out to the minds of the entire pack.

Resonating clear when he spoke: "I have a SON! I HAVE A SON!!! The goddess GAVE ME A FAMILY!" Briefly hiding his face within an especially happy Luna's neck.

When alpha lifts it again. His face is moist, his verbal voice heard as a croak towards Luna "We have a son." We watch his gaze turn skywards "THANK YOU GODDESS." his eyes on Ben "My BOY!" cupping Kodiak behind the neck, bringing him to touch foreheads.

"My....boy.....mine." overwhelming emotions pouring outwards like ripples affecting all who heard. Smile. Admiration for their alpha's family.

Watching the birth of their cub. I say to myself "Luna, we the original pack always treated Ben/Kodiak special because of his nature and circumstances he came into our lives, especially you. From the loving gaze you and now alpha hold.

We also know even grown into the behemoth he has become. Ben will always remain.... your cub." Kodiak phases back to his human form with the pack following suit. The hands reaching out to congratulate him, acknowledging him as pack.

With a hug and kiss to Ben's cheek, I prepare to go back home and finish the dishes. My eyes find Tito's. Of all of us, tito always stayed with Ben, this included checking on Ben regularly as he hibernated during the winter.

Those two were truly inseparable pack brothers. So, it was no surprise when he wulf spoke to me saying "Are you sure you are ok?" I knew what he meant, he was overly happy to see his pack brother, now also made fully pack member. "Staay." With a grin telling him "I will just be a moment. I want to check on the cubs and will join you soon." Tito blows me a kiss and turns to his brother.

Heading back to my house feeling happy. Stepping onto the house steps my head swoons. I manage to make it to the open door frame placing a hand on it leaning against it. My head swims. When it clears suddenly I am not standing on my porch.

Instead, I see Beta Randall fighting a wulf but it's not alive. It's dead! The flesh is rotting off it, yet it is alive. It's rank smelling corpse drips maggots and as Beta Randall fights, it is obvious he is tiring. The other wulf lunges now it...it... oh GODDESS NOOOO!!! RANDALL!!!!

A scream heard breaking the calm of the night, penetrating to the ears of all. Heard coming from the house. In an instant, Beta Randall grabbed Tito and teleported them both inside the house. Greeted by my form kneeling rocking back and forth sobbing.

Tito screams "AMOR!" rushing to my side holding me tight. Everyone else comes running to their house. Alpha Ruben & Luna Alexi arrive. Luna hurries to me, sits beside on the other side of me, respecting the mate Bond leaving me in Tito's arms. But with a strained voice, he asks "PRIMA what happened?".

"LUNA! I saw death!" I scream telling him everything within tito gripping embrace. Looking to Beta Randall, my voice cracking "Beta Randall, your past is coming for you. He lives but he is dead BETA RANDALL!"

Leaning towards Beta extending my arms to hug him for reassurance. Beta holds me, reassuring me as I turn my head to address Luna "A one eye wulf brought him back LUNA. But he is still dead!!" shutting my eyes simultaneously turning my head away pressing it to Randall's chest.

So I did not see Robert, Delta Carmen, Bella, Alpha Ruben & Ben hurriedly entering thru the doorway. Joined by Mima, Titi Carrie, and Don Yonell stepping out of a portal.

Delta Carmen & Bella come to me and begin chanting over me. Everyone hears Rumbling thunderclouds which had begun to form outside, begin diminishing now and grow silent.

Luna's emotions were the cause. Bella & Delta Carmen look to Alpha Ruben with Luna. Bella's wulf speaks is relating to Alina
"We have found our Neuro-Necromancer. Alina is meant to be Delta Carmen's apprentice. We must begin her training immediately."

Beta reacts to the statement "WHAT! My little sistas a necromancer?" without realizing it, he held me tighter to him.

Alpha Ruben had remained quiet til now Speaks with a faraway look on his face. "Yes, Beta Randall, but not to summon, rather absorb and release. Delta Carmen, Bella and I figured it out the night of the re-bonding of ALEXI & SABLE. One of the NINE looked at her and asked for forgiveness." With a glance to me it was clear Reuben, rather Alpha Crimson was well aware I knew more than I have thus far, said.

Aside from Carmen, I am the only one who knows what had transpired. It is time, Alina has a right to know. As I speak a weight burdens my shoulders "That wulf was her father.

Once Alpha of the NECROMANCER PACK. Pack of my sister Joaqina, their Luna a true Necromancer queen. They were legendary guardians of the dead. Trained to keep the dead in their place & from invading the world of the living along with another pack, The blue mountain pack.

He was the one who had asked Alina for forgiveness." Briefly I pause. What I was about to say next brings back with it.....pain. "Because He murdered all its pack members. Mostly thru poison, others thru fang and claws" everyone remains silent.

My aunt's tone turns sad & distant causing me to look up and see my aunt's pained gaze. SHe was reliving a torment she could no longer deny. It broke me but there was a question I wanted to ask "Titi, did he kill my mother?"

The pain in my heart at her question comes back. How could I tell my only living relative I don't know? I could not face her directly as I tell her. Turning to look out the window "I don't know mijita. That was the only body we did not find." My eyes water as I thought of my little sister Centella.

I have hope as I ask my aunt "so... Maybe she is still alive?? But then.......

I interrupt her "I can only pray that is so. We have searched and searched for her until we finally were forced to stop. I pray so Mija and that she is returned to us safely." Slowly tears begin showing and silently fall. My only sister, with all the blessing she has, not even Estrella could find her and tell me.

The powerful pain I see and feel radiating off my aunt, her tears, her voice becoming wisps convinces me not to ask any more questions. While I have my family, aside from me and my cousin my aunt had lost the only blood family she had left.
