Happy Halloween! This is the third year I've done this, and it's always fun.

Knock or ring the bell by leaving me a comment, and I'll reply with a treat of some sort. It might be a fic snippet, a picture, a song, or something else I come up with in the moment.

"I don't see why I can't be an alpha," he sulked. Pete was a pretty impressive sulker, and Bebe didn't think it was from constant exposure to a toddler.
"Because you aren't," Bebe said. "That's just the way things are."
"But you can be an alpha. Is that a born wolf thing?"
"No," Bebe said for at least the fifteenth time. At least she was getting practice if she ever wanted to have kids. "It's a personality thing. We just don't know because I'm not old enough." Alphas bred true in her line, but female alphas were rare enough that they couldn't be sure until she hit her majority. It just sucked that it was so much later for wolves than humans.
"Patience," her dad always said. "We live so much longer that the extra years are nothing."
It was hard to be patient when she was already stretching herself out into the adult human world.
"I'm old enough," Pete said. "And I have tons of personality."
He was starting to give Bebe a headache. "Pete," she snapped, "give it a rest," and he actually did. Maybe she was going to be an alpha after all.
