Story: Alpha Bowen

It has been a year since Alpha King Bowen has defeated Morvath, The Unseen.

The royal family was settled and at peace.

Bowen and Sara led the kingdom into prosperity, peace, and greatness.

The lenkacea flowers were ever abundantly growing at the royal pack and werewolves have easy access to them when in need.

Katrin and Petur started schooling and they have private tutoring with Isolde every weekends. Isolde started training them in simple potions making, a craft closely linked to Science.

"Mama, we made you an herbal tea that can help you relax your muscles." Katrin excitedly announced to Luna Trin as Petur walked slowly so as not to spill the cup of tea.

"How sweet, my darlings! How did you know my muscles ache? Ugh! Did Aunt Isolde teach you this recipe?" Trin asked as she accepts the cup from Petur.

"Yes, Mama. Aunt Isolde said it won't be long and our little sister will be born!" Katrin squealed in excitement.

True enough, days have passed and Trin gave birth to a stunning baby girl. The entire Stone Pack rejoiced in the addition to the family. The king, queen, and the prince were few of the first to gaze upon the pup of the hour.

"Your majesties, meet my daughter, Aylin. Her name means moonlight." Alpha Davos beamed in pride and joy.

"Oh, she's gorgeous, Trin! Alpha Davos, my congratulations!" Queen Sara greeted. "It seems yearly, someone is giving birth!" Sara could not resist to looked at Isolde. "Next year, it's your turn, I bet, Isolde!

"As a matter of fact, the joke may be on you!" Isolde countered to the intrigue of the others. "You see, I met a man and fell madly in love and lust with him. He's human and slowly I am introducing him to a world bigger and more supernatural than the one he knows." Isolde announced.

Cheers and congratulations spread in the room.

A year has passed and Isolde gave birth to a bouncy big baby boy! She married the human she fell in love with and he is now a member of the Stone Pack.

Family and dearest friends gather to attend the celebration of Cullen's first month with a thanksgiving lunch party.

King Bowen's immediate reaction upon seeing Isolde's baby again was, "he's even more massive now! I believe this young fellow here will be lady's man someday!" The others laughed in agreement.

"So, I guess it's your turn now, Luna Queen. How about another heir?" Isolde teased.

Sara blushed!

Trin gasped in delight! "You're already pregnant, aren't you! Oh Moon Goddess! What joy! It's raining pups! With the way Queen Sara is blushing, I do not think we need to wait a year!"

"We've been busy." King Bowen quipped as he embrace his mate.

"Have I told you how beautiful you look especially when you are very pregnant, my white wolf?" Bowen cooed as he and his mate visit Axel's grave.

Sara smiled. "Does that mean you'll make me pregnant often? Shame on you, Alpha King!" She messed around Bowen.

"And what if I do? I would like a big family." Bowen confessed.

"Hmmm. I like a big family, too! As long as our pups are healthy and happy, I wouldn't mind bearing lots of babies!" Sara sweetly agreed.

Bowen gazed upon the lenkacea fields. "I'd like to name our daughter, Cassandra, if you'll agree." He said.

"Cassandra. Cassie! I love it! Named after the flower that heals us from our weaknesses. It's perfect, Bowen." Sara leaped into Bowen's arms and gave him a kiss.

The royals were still kissing when they heard a sound of a baby crying. The two were perplexed and thought they were just hearing things.

But there it was again, that soft cry.

Bowen and Sara listened hard and walked towards the cries. And there on the ground, surrounded by lenkacea flowers was indeed a baby! A beautiful and fair girl!

"Is that..." Bowen gasped.

Sara slowly crouched to pick up the baby. "Moon Goddess! Is she a ..." Sara turned to Bowen for confirmation.

"Vampire." He confirmed.

"How can a vampire baby be here at the royal pack when the nearest vampire coven is 7,500 miles away?" Sara wondered.

Bowen stroke the baby's brow and said, "I think the more pressing question is, who is she?"
