Raelynn's Story (name is a WIP)

~Chapter 1~

Amelia's POV (Raelynn's Mother) 3 Years Before Raelynn's Birth

"Come on Ashton!" I mind linked to Ashton as I ran through the woods, my paws hitting the ground with a soft thud. I was currently teaching my 2 year old son how to hunt. Hes my little bundle of joy, always excited to learn new things involving the pack. My mate and I believe he will be a great heir to the pack, but we want another child, and we knew it could complicate things.

Ashton could get jealous of the competition. You see, the elders of the werewolf community passed a new law. Now, if an alpha couple give birth to more than one heir, within 5 1/2 years of each other, the only way for the oldest to become the next alpha would be if they were a better wolf to be alpha. The way the pack would decided who was more fit to be alpha was to see which wolf had the better personality, strength, and responsibility. Whatever sibling was more fit to be alpha would get the title, not the oldest unless the oldest proved to be the better chosen leader.

The leaders thought this system would work better instead of the oldest automatically becoming the alpha of a pack after many packs had suffered under a bad leadership due to the oldest child had received the title. So they made the law, if there was siblings who were born within 5 1/2 years of each other, they would be in competition to receive the title to be the next alpha.

With this in mind, we want to wait till after the 5 years before we give birth to another pup. We thought this would fit better since Ashton wouldn't fear losing ownership of the title. I wanted another pup as soon as possible, but I worried of what could happen if I did have another one at this point in time. Liam, my mate and Ashton's father always spoke highly of the alpha position, he hyped Ashton up every night. They would spend the last hour before bed talking about how Ashton would grow up to be alpha and take over his pack when he turned 19. Ashton always talked about how he would become alpha just like his father, and I knew if we had another child, Ashton would feel threatened by it.

I snapped out of my thoughts as I felt someone brush against me, I glanced to my left seeing a pure black wolf, Liam, smiling I nudged him with my snout, slowly coming to a stop.

"Where have you been?" I mind linked to Liam as I licked his neck showing affection in our wolf form. I sat down, watching as Ashton ran up to us, he was small compared to us, he is only two years old, he was small and slim, his fur coat was grey with a spot of black on his neck and nose. He came to a stop, but tumbled over and rolled, landing up on his back looking up at us,

"Training the newest warriors, some of the pups have came of age to start training." Liam mind linked to me, I glanced up at him with a small nod, before looking at our pup. I stood up, I grabbed Ash by his nap and put him right side up. He shook his fur off, before running around us all excitedly.

"Dad! Did you see me running? I've gotten so fast!" Ashton openly mind linked, allowing Liam and me to hear him. I swiped my paw at him, wrapping it around his torso and pulling him to me, I started to lick him clean, giving him his bath.

"I saw you bud, i'm proud of you little man! Just you wait, one day you'll be just as fast as your mom and I, and you'll be leading your pack on their annual pack hunt as the leader of their pack." Liam told him as he sat down watching Ash and me while Ash tried wiggling out of my grasp.

"Mom!" Ash whined, whimpering. "Stooop, this is embarrassing, I can clean my self, you know!" He groaned, as he finally squeezed him self out of my paws.

"Yes but you cant clean every where on that small body of yours," I stated as I reached for him again, Liam just sat there shaking his head"

Ash licked his leg a few times before looking at me, "See! I can do it!" He told me with a wolfy grin, I slightly shook my head at him.
"Do you really think i'll be the alpha dad?" Ashton looked up at him with adoration.
