Book 2 of

The Patron, the Alphas Alpha

When you’re the top wolf on the continent with the backing of the Goddess, how does an enemy topple your kingdom? By challenging you to a fight? No. By changing the rules.

After three hundred years of fighting and service to the Goddess, Silas Knight is the Patron, Alpha to the Alphas on the North American continent. As the top wolf, he fears little and has seen most things. But when he discovers someone or something has been quietly disturbing the natural order of things, he’s surprised. Certain human women have the ability to birth fully functioning wolves, and that’s a major problem.

Jasmine Bennett has no idea her deceased husband was a wolf shifter or that her twin sons are shifters. Her life changes when she rushes to her son’s bedside after he’s wounded in Afghanistan and returned stateside. Now her life’s in danger because of her ability to give birth to a breed of beings she never knew existed.

After sending out a mating call which Silas answered, Jasmine’s pregnant and depressed. Her life has spiraled out of control. Silas is angry that his first “litter of pups” are half breeds. A group of human breeders offer her a chance to leave Silas, offering a strange brand of protection. When a human breeder enters the compound using a weapon the wolves are helpess against, Silas and Jasmine understand the true meaning of Birth Control.

This is the second book in the La Patron series. Book one is BirthRight and should be read first for a better understanding of this book.

Chapter One

Jasmine Bennett released a long sigh as she gazed at the fives pregnancy tests littering the vanity in her bathroom. The sight of the plastic sticks filled her with dismay. Suspecting she was pregnant and discovering that she was in fact pregnant, were two different things.

Silas Knight, the Patron, head Alpha wolf in the country, had warned this might happen. Her stomach rebelled at the notion of giving birth to his…what did he call them?
Pups
. The arrogant man had called them his litter of pups right before he left for Texas.

She cringed at the imagery of birthing… puppies.

Silas had made it clear he expected her to move to his home in West Virginia and raise her, well, their, children there. The very idea set butterflies loose in her belly. Granted, she’d given birth to her sons, Tyrone and Tyrese, twenty years ago and technically they could be called…pups. Within the past month she’d discovered her sons were wolf shifters. She'd had no idea she’d been carrying partially human babies at the time.

This time was different. Silas made sure she knew her babies were half-wolf and half-human. Half-breeds he’d called them with derision.

Groaning, she spun away from the bathroom counter and looked out the window over the shifter compound. “You’ve done it again…” Did she wear a sticker on her forehead that read, 'Men who don’t want to be fathers, apply here?”

Hell no
. After living with her husband Davian's, disinterest and half-hearted parenting for almost twenty years before he died, she wasn’t about to go through that again. If Silas expected her to lay down and roll over, he’d knocked up the wrong woman. They would definitely negotiate whatever happened next.

A tap on the door startled her. It took her a moment to realize it had to be Callum, Alpha Jayden’s son, checking up on her again as he’d done every day since her sons had left for Texas with Silas. She tossed the proof of her current condition into the plastic store bag, tied it, and threw it in the trash. After reaching the entry, she peeked out and then opened the door.

“Hello, Callum.”

The teenager’s face reddened as he dipped his head before meeting her gaze. “Ma’am. I’m just checking to see if you need anything.” He was a few inches taller than her with dark hair that brushed against his shoulders. Square jawed, with a large nose dominating his face, his somber chocolate-colored eyes touched her briefly.

Jasmine moved back, allowing him to enter. Every since the day she’d found him in the forest during what she'd discovered later was his first change, he’d become a fixture in her life. “I’m fine, just clearing up a few things.” She moved toward the kitchen. “Want something to drink?”

“Some sweet tea if you have it.” He followed and sat at the breakfast bar in the kitchen.

Chuckling, she eyed him over her shoulder. “Okay but I’m beginning to wonder if you come to see me or for the tea.”

His eyes widened as he stood abruptly. “No…no, I’m here to check on you. I don’t need anything else. Please don’t think I’m not grateful for everything, I am. I just…I just like the way you make the drink. Water would be fine.”

It took her a moment to realize he was serious. She burst out laughing.

His red face alerted her that he failed to see the humor.

“I’m…I was just teasing you, Callum. I know you come to see me and not for something to drink. It was a joke.” She paused, watching him. “A joke to make you laugh,which you aren’t doing, so I should stop laughing.” His reaction had the affect of pouring cold water over her head. She sobered and touched his shoulder.

“Honestly, it was a joke. I wasn’t laughing at you per se.”

“I understand. And I know you were teasing. It took me a moment to figure it out, but by then I was embarrassed by my reaction.” He ran his hand through his hair. “Father says I’m too serious. He says I need to relax, lighten up. That’s one of the reasons he never refuses my visits to you. He thinks you’re helping me learn not to take myself so seriously.”
