Good friday my fellow readers!
Here Laurel takes her first responsiblity as alpha. Warning: Her grandmother is a bitch!
So feel free to bash her!

Laurel's POV

A few weeks passed since I returned to my time, and things have been busy for the pack. Two days after my return the pack had a funeral for my grandparents, and father. Sometimes wolves were burned or buried, in this case it was decided that burying my father and grandparents was appropriate. They were buried in the alpha section of the cemetery in the forest; the cemetery was a good size. That had been a sad day for me, everyone all wore black. It was especially hard for Mom since she no longer had her true mate with her anymore. Erik was still adjusting to how things worked in our time, as promised he was given the same kind of styled one sided white mask as well as a black wig. At times he chose to wear them, sometimes he didn't.

After a week I returned to school, Erik and Mom didn't like the idea of me going back so soon. But I told them both firmly if I didn't return to my normal schedule I would go mad. Alyssa and Michael finally met Erik and they were both dumbfounded how much he looked like Gerard Butler. And it was then I told them that he was really Erik also known as the Phantom. Mom didn't know this and I'd rather she didn't, she didn't need anymore stress on her right now. Erik at first was cautious towards my two best friends, eventually he grew to like them. He still made Michael nervous but that was understandable.

My mate was also welcomed with open arms into the pack; in fact he wasn't ridiculed for his disfigured face. This made Erik happy and whenever I wasn't around he would either lock himself in the mansion library or the music room doing who knows what. Eric moved into my room and I enjoyed having my mate sleeping in my bed with me. Every morning I would wake up with his arms around me, and I would wake him up by kissing the left side of his face.

"Their putting up the casting for the play today" Mike said as we pulled into the parking lot of the college. It felt weird being back here. "I just hope I landed Erik's part, however he would kill me if I had to kiss you Laurel"

"I don't even know if I even got the part of Christine you dork" I teased my friend as I got out of the jeep first. Today I wore a green tank top underneath a blue over- shirt; I wore shorts and blue sandals. Mike wore the usual get up he usually had, Alyssa was in a dark red t-shirt with regular jeans and she had on sandals like me. Her hair was in a pony tail while mine was loose.

"I just hope I got Meg I really liked her what was it liking meeting here in the ya know movie?"

I had also told them about my adventure in film they didn't believe at first, until Erik confirmed it was true.

"Oh she was a sweetheart as was Christine" I answered and at the thought of the two women I had befriended, I felt a little sad. I hoped the two of them were happy with their other halves. No doubt by now Christine was married to Raoul and I prayed to god he wasn't screwing the marriage up. I had actually threatened to kick his ass if he hurt Christine after he proposed to her. Raoul reassured me he wouldn't dare do anything to jeopardize his marriage to Christine because lets face it they were a cute couple. Several of our classmates came up to me and asked how I was, and I reassured them that I was fine. The public knew that there had been an attack on the pack and that I had gone missing. No doubt the news of my grandfather's death reached my mother's family. Finally Alyssa, Mike, and I entered the building and hurried over to where the casting poster was.

"I can't even bloody look tell me who is who" I said to my best friends.

"As you wish Khaleesi" Mike teased before he eyed the list first, Alyssa by his side. She squealed a second later.

"I got Meg!" she yelled happily.

"I knew you would get her Lyssa" I replied back to her. That was my nickname for Alyssa while Michael's was Mike, and mine Khaleesi.

"Laurel you're Christine" Mike said.

"You're joking?!" I said and I went over to the casting list and sure enough it said.

Christine Daae-Laurel White.

"Well damn" was all I could say because I was speechless. "Who are you Mike?"

"Wanna take a gander?" he asked with a smirk.

"You're the Phantom?"

"Damn right!" Mike said before he did a fist pump. "We'll just have to tell your mate about this Khaleesi"

"He'll understand, remember he knows how plays work and he likes you Mike"

This was a given fact; Erik did in fact like Alyssa and Michael.

"Erik will be pleased to see you as Christine no doubt" Alyssa added.

The three of us then burst out laughing before my cell suddenly was ringing, as was Mike's and Alyssa's.
The caller id said it was my mother and immediately I picked it up.

"What is it Mom?" I asked.

"You need to get home with Alyssa and Michael, there has been a threat to our pack, and we need our future alpha here"

My father and my mother were meant to be the next alpha pair but due to the fact my father was dead as were my grandparents, I was next in line.

"Alright we'll be there shortly" I told her before I hung up and turned to my two friends.

"How fast can you get us back home, Mike?"

"As fast as I can go without crashing the jeep" Mike said before we left the building. Alyssa had gone to tell Mr. Knight that we wouldn't be able to make it to classes that day since this was an emergency. The whole drive back to the pack territory I was nervous and scared.

I had a feeling who was causing pandemonium in my home and it had to stop. Alyssa and Mike dropped me off at the gates of the mansion and outside waiting for were Erik and Mom. I first greeted Erik with a kiss against his lips. He looked hot in his black button down shirt, he wore black pants that were actually jeans, he wore black boots, which amused me. He didn't wear his mask or wig.

"Tell me what you know" I said to my mother as the three of us headed back into the mansion.

"My mother is coming here as we speak, along with my brother and sister"

"What could they possibly want?"

"No doubt vengeance for your grandfather's death" Erik answered as we headed towards my room. When meetings like this were held the alpha pair or alpha would need to dress the part. I had the dress I wanted to wear to prove my power of my pack.

"No blood will be shed on my domain, as no more deaths will occur" I said firmly. Now I was starting to sound like Daenerys when she was in her no nonsense mode.

"You speak like a queen Moon of my Life" Erik said as Mom left us outside of my room.

"Not a queen, a Khaleesi" I replied to my mate as I opened the door to my room. I went to my walk in closet and pulled out the dress I had made back when I was in Erik's world. It was Daenerys's white halter top dress she wore when she first met with the Yunkai Master before her conquering of Yunkai. I then pulled my hair back into a braid, before placing the alpha golden bands that were worn on the arms closer to the shoulders. I put on matching flats before I turned to Erik who was eying me with lust.

"You look beautiful with that on you" he purred.

"You're sweet my Sun and Stars, but now is not the time for trying to seduce me into bed, we have plenty of time for that"

Erik's face suddenly turned red and he then offered his arm out to me which I took. My mother was waiting for us outside dressed in a dress similar to mine only it wasn't a halter, it had straps and it was the color of dark green. Her hair hung loose and as I came out she pulled her hair back and bent down to me. This was a gesture of submission or respect for werewolves to show to their proper alphas.

"Mom you do not need to do that" I said to her after she got back to her feet.

"You are the new alpha of this pack daughter and one must show respect even if she is my own offspring"

"If that is what you wish to do then I am fine with that" I told her. Mom smiled before she turned around and we followed behind her. The meeting place was in the woods close to the cemetery, close to the mansion. As we came upon the meeting place the whole pack was there, some males were shirtless, while some were not. Of course the males wore pants, when we phased into our wolf forms our clothes didn't get ripped apart. The females wore dresses similar to mine, and all eyes were on me as I walked towards the stone throne like chair designed for the main alpha to sit in, there was another stone chair under the pavilion that was meant for the alpha's spouse.

Mom was the first to step onto the stone platform, and Erik helped me onto it. He kissed my hand before he took his seat in the smaller throne as I turned around to face my pack. Everyone all got down and did the same submission gesture as I looked back at them. I then sat myself down into my own basically what I referred to the Iron Throne, it wasn't the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones, but the coloring was the same so I called it that.

"You all may rise" I called out to my pack. The pack did as I asked as the rose to their feet.

Then Michael's parents who were my betas and had been my grandparent's beta's came to us.

"My alpha an audience has been requested by your mother's family" Mike's father said to me.

"Go and bring them to me, also warn them if any harm is done to you or anyone else in the escort process, there will be grave consequences"

"As you wish my alpha" Robert said that was Mike's father's name. He then phased into his wolf form and Mike's mother Delia did the same. Several other wolves did the same and followed after them.

"How long has it been since you saw your family last?" Erik asked Mom.

"Since I fled" Mom replied simply to him. The rest of the pack looked behind them eager to see the group of vampires that wanted to speak to me. We didn't have to wait along because the crowd was silent as Robert came approaching with two female vampires and a single male, my eyes saw that the male was holding a hand of a female human. She looked to be about ten years older than me and I heard two heartbeats coming from her, meaning she was pregnant. My indigo eyes then went to the older looking female vampire, she was the spitting image of my mother, the same dark brown hair except her eyes were a cruel green, she wore all black as did her companions, appropriate enough for springtime.

I then looked to the younger female vampire her hair was a dark red and it was curly, her eyes were also indigo, she looked to be younger than my mother, but no older than the man beside her. My eyes then went to the male and he was handsome, his hair was also dark brown, his eyes icy blue. The human he seemed to be protecting had black hair and her eyes were chocolate brown, and she was scared to death. I then realized the two of them were true mates.

"So you are my granddaughter" the older female vampire spoke first. Her voice was calm but I knew it was laced with hatred. "I appreciate your time to meet with me"

"What is it you wish to speak of?" I asked my grandmother.

"For you to return the traitor, your mother"

Immediately the rest of my pack snarled and I held my hand out to silence my pack. My pack members obeyed.

"And if I refuse to surrender my mother?" I asked.

"Then my coven will personally dispatch every member of this pack for murdering my mate, half-breed"

"Mother!" came the protesting voices of the male and female vampire. I had a feeling these two were my aunt and uncle. "You agreed no more bloodshed!"

"You're father needs to be avenged!" my grandmother roared snapping at her children. "This abomination killed him"

That did it, I stood up and I was angry.

"I am not afraid of you, your mate deserved his fate and I don't regret killing him"

My grandmother turned back to look at me with disgust and hate.

"How dare you"

"Be silent!" I snapped at her. "You are on my grounds and you will show me respect or I will have you escorted out"

"Like you could stop me little half-breed"

"Mother enough!" Mom said. My grandmother turned her eyes towards Mom.

"You were no longer my daughter the day you decided to consort with a werewolf, Daphne, and because you chose that union this thing was born"

"That is enough!" Erik snapped standing up, he was furious. My grandmother then turned to eye my mate.

"So it would seem history repeats itself, your true mate is a pathetic human and an ugly one I might add"

I snarled at my grandmother before she threw herself in the air and she was about to pounce on Erik when I acted. I leapt into the air and phased into my wolf form. My fangs sank themselves into her body this ended up killing her. Blood stained the ground as I released the body of my grandmother from my fangs. My aunt and uncle looked to me fearfully before I phased back into my human form. I noticed my uncle wished to speak. I first however ordered for my grandmother's body to be removed. Once it was taken away I looked to my uncle.

"You may approach" I said to him. "However if you dare attack me, my mother, my mate, or another pack member you will die"

"I do not wish for that" my uncle said.

"Very well I am all ears"

"For centuries our coven has thought we were superior above others, I never thought that way, I don't wish to live in anymore bloodshed"

I wasn't surprised to hear this coming from him.

"And what is your name I take it your are my uncle?"

"Yes alpha I am your uncle, your mother's younger brother my name is Marcus, your aunt is Kiara, and the human beside me is my true mate, Sarah"

"You are welcome here" I told my mother's siblings. "What is you wish to talk about?"

"For you to accept us as members of this pack, the rest of the coven has either been hunted down or killed by mother and father, after Daphne left many agreed that there should have be a peace treaty with humans, wolves, and other species, immediately those members were killed, some fled and lived, while some were slaughtered trying to escape"

"My god" Erik said.

So it would seem my grandmother was a liar as well. Another reason I'm glad I disposed of her.

Now I knew my maternal grandparents were nut jobs, thankfully my aunt and uncle were not.

"You may become members of this pack only if you swear to obey my laws, as I am now alpha"

"You have our word that we won't dare disobey you" Kiara said and she bowed before me, she pulled hair back.

Marcus then did the same along with his mate Sarah. I smiled before I approached them.

"You may rise" I told them and they happily obeyed.

"I welcome you to your new home and also I think a hug from my mother is long overdue"

Uncle Marcus chuckled.

"I couldn't agree more" he then went over to my mother and hugged her. Aunt Kiara then joined in and she burst into tears. My mother was also in tears as she had one arm wrapped around her brother's neck while the other was around her sisters.

"Thank you" Sarah told me.

"You are lucky to have a kind mate, congratulations by the way on your child"

Sarah's face turned blood red at that comment.

Later
At a Lakeside in the Forest Not Far from Mansion

"That was the second time you saved my life" Erik said as we sat on a rock overlooking the lake that stretched out over the whole domain.

"I told you I won't let anyone hurt those I love especially you, Erik" I teased. I was next to him on the rock, our hands intertwined. I suddenly felt Erik was nervous about something.
"What are you nervous about My Sun and Stars?" I asked looking into my beloved's blue eyes.

Erik didn't answer except he took my hands into his and he began to sing to me.

Say you'll share with me one love
One lifetime
Lead me, save me from my solitude
Say you want me with you
Here beside you
Anywhere you go let me go too
Laurel that's all I ask of you

Holy S**T!

Was Erik doing what I think he was doing?

Erik pulled out a box and in it was a golden band with a beautiful tiger's eye was in the center surrounded by small diamonds.

"Laurel please do me the honor of accepting my mating claim and your hand in marriage"

"Hell yes!" I said before I threw myself upon my mate. This caught Erik off guard and the two of us landed in the dirt. "Sorry"

Erik chuckled before he kissed my forehead and I let him put the ring onto my left ring finger before he kissed me like no tomorrow.

"That's why I have been so secretive this past few weeks your mother kept demanding when I would propose to you finally and offer you my mating claim"

HA!

I knew my mother was also behind this!

I pressed my lips against Erik's which he was expecting; my fiancé then rolled us so I was beneath him on the forest floor.

"Erik I do not want my first time with you now alright?"

"My you have such perverted thoughts Moon of my Life" Erik teased me his smirk making my heart beat like hell.

"Oh shut it and let me up"

Erik chuckled before he pulled himself off of me. It was then I surprised him by pushing him beneath me.

"I thought you didn't want to pursue this any further?" Erik teased.

"Well then I lied a little I'd still rather give myself to you on our wedding night but that doesn't mean I want to torment you a little my phantom"

Awwwww!
Its about time you propsed to her Erik!
Next chapter is the wedding slash mating ceremony. My mom is being discharged from the hospital today WOOT!
