His Beta Luna novel Chapter 1

"Scar, wake up!" my six-year-old sister, Mae, shouted while she jumped on my bed.

"Mae, it's 5:30 in the morning," I groaned as I yanked the pillow over my head trying to muffle out her voice.

"But, I wanna see if Santa came!" Mae explained, shaking me to get me to actually get up and out of bed.

"Alright, Mae, I'm coming," I replied, groaning but still getting up. She squealed and ran out of the room, probably waking up everyone else in the household.

I love Mae, I really do but at times like these, I hate her for being adorable and still believing in Santa. I walked down the stairs to make some coffee. Taking my first sip of the only thing that will keep me sane while the pounding of footsteps filled the house.

"Hey look, it's the three musketeers," I remarked as my three brothers, Carter, James, and Jason, entered the kitchen and stumbled over to the coffee machine.

"Eh, you know there were four, right?" Jason replied, lazily. Jason was what I'd like to call the nerd of the household. He knew by memory all those historical facts. My parents followed my brothers into the kitchen shortly after. We may be the Beta family but we all have a small weakness for Mae.

"Momma! Come on!" Mae demanded, tugging on my mom's arm. She gave Mae a lazy smile and walked into the living room where the Christmas tree was.

I sighed, this better not become a habit of hers. She woke everyone up at this unholy hour just to get 'Santa's Gifts'. Last year, Carter was so close to spilling the beans.

"Look! Santa got me a doll house!" Mae exclaimed as we all sat around the tree talking about the present she had just opened.

I smiled at her, since it was the gift I had given her with a few-

"There are some dolls inside!" she exclaimed as she took out a few of the small dolls that I had put in.

"Carta there's one for you," Mae said as she handed him the present. Carter chuckled at her, "I think I'll save this one for later," he said, putting it down next to him.

"No, open it now!" Mae complained. Carter did as he was told. When he opened it, his eyes went directly to me as I tried to stifle my laughter.

A loud gasp was heard from Mae as she looked at him. "Carta you got coal!" she said as she swatted his shoulder. "You've been a naughty boy!" At this point James and Jason started laughing, full on cackling, as my parents tried to stifle their laughter.

"Scar, you will so regret this," he glared at me. I returned it with a cheeky smile.

"Regret what? That was given from Santa."

She was about to reply, but was cut off by a booming voice.

"ALICE!"

Ah, that voice I knew so well, our Alpha Gregory came stalking over to his daughter. "Alice, these men have families to get back to," he said angrily as his eyes became black.

"I'm sorry, daddy, Scarlett told me it would be a good idea. She said that we should be prepared for anything," Alice said, causing my jaw to drop, but the Alpha's eyes softened as he apologized to her.

"I'm sorry, sweetie, I just got a little angry... MEN YOU ALL ARE DISMISSED!" he yelled to them, a chorus of 'Yes, Alpha' was announced as they all walked back to their mates and families.

"Scarlett, a word," Alpha Gregory said with a forced smile. I nodded and waited for him to begin. "You're the Beta, not Alpha of this pack, and I believe that you bossing around my daughter is inexcusable and ridiculous." I looked him in the eyes, refusing to back down.

"Alpha Gregory, I promise you that this wasn't my call. I have, on many occasions explained to your daughter the importance of training men and women, so that everyone is prepared. This was purely her mistake, she was the one who caused this conflict not me."

And with that, I left to go back home. Alpha Gregory always thought that I started all of the conflicts between Alice and I, but I never did. Compared to her, I was an angel sent from heaven.
