Skyler's POV I wake up more warm and comfortable than I've ever been. I nuzzle in against the warmth, and I feel something move along my back. That's when I feel it, tingles dancing everywhere. It was like they waited until I was conscious enough to come to life. It's not every day I wake up on top of him. My heart skipped, and my pulse quickened. I feel his chest rising and falling with each breath he takes. I could hear his heart beating as his fingers soothingly caressed my back. My stomach fluttered when I felt him move and kiss my forehead. His finger gently gripped my chin and lifted my head until our eyes met. When they did, my stomach fluttered again. He had a soft smile and hummed as his eyes swept over my face. “Hmmm… Good morning, beautiful,” He said, and I swooned. Beautiful? Me? Those two words don't go together, but somehow he made me feel like they do. His smile widened as he touched my cheek while looking at it. I knew he could see I was blushing, which only cau
Skylar's POVI watched him cook as he talked to me. I couldn't take my eyes off of him as I sat at the counter. He knows my biggest secret, and he's not going to walk away or spread the word and tell everyone he knows. He's accepting me, even though I'm different…I'm a sucker for his scrambled eggs and cheese, but it's been awhile since I've had a sunny side up egg. Weston placed a plate in front of me as he sat down beside me with his own. I licked my lips when I saw how perfectly seasoned they were with salt and pepper. The toast was perfect! Not too light and not too dark, and the bacon was crispy. It was a perfect breakfast! I licked my lips as I grabbed my toast. Weston laughed when I dove in with my toast and murdered the yolk, wiggling the toast into it until it broke, and then proceeded to soak my toast with all the gooey substance. “Man, that was some determination!” Weston said while laughing. “What?” I asked before shoving the soaked toast into my mouth. “The way you
Third person's POV The Alpha lay with his head propped up, resting on his hand. His fingers trail his Beta's beautiful face, loving the way his light brown skin looks as the morning sun shines on him. He loved the beautiful sight that lay beside him in his arms. He smiled in satisfaction and pulled his warm body closer to him. So many thoughts race through Alaric's head as he watches his mate slowly wake up. When Adrian is lying in his arms, his fears and internal battle disappear. The only thing on his mind, is his beautiful Beta, who lies naked beside him, legs tangled, bodies flush together The Alpha's lips tug up when Adrian hums, licks his lips, and begins searching for him with his face. The Alpha's heart swells when Adrian instinctively senses his face hovering above his, and his head lifts off the pillow, briefly connecting their lips before his head drops back to the pillow.The Alpha smile widens when Adrian wraps his arms tightly around him and hums, pulling him closer a
Third Person's POV The day is warmer than usual, and the sun sits high in the sky, beating down on Nikolai as he struggles to keep up with Leonard. The man's a beast, and he knows how to fight too well. Nikolai grunts when his feet are kicked out from under him, and his back slams against the ground. In an instant, Leonard's knee is against his chest, his left hand is around his throat, and his right is cocked back for a kill shot. “How do you expect to be my Alpha, if you can't last more than 3 minutes with me?” Leonard said before releasing the young Alpha's throat. Nikolai rolled onto his hands and knees, coughing. His back was killing him, and he was hot. He pulled himself to his feet and growled as he tore his shirt off and threw it to the side. Leonard chuckled as he took his position on the mat. “ Is that supposed to help you?” The commander teased, and Nikolai rolled his eyes.“I don't know, maybe it will,” Nikolai said before mumbling under his breath, complaining how ho
Adrian's POV The mouth-watering scent of food made my stomach growl. It's almost enough to make me want to go down there, at least to sneak some food and quickly slip back inside without being seen. As tempting as that was, the loud sound of many voices reminded me of how many annoying people were outside, which is why I was still hiding in my room. “Ugh, come on! My stomach is eating itself!” Nikolai groans as he lies sprawled out on my bed, staring at the ceiling while holding his stomach. I growl in frustration as I try on another tie. Everything looks stupid! “This shit's too dressy for me!” I said angrily as I ripped the tie off and threw it on the dresser. I felt like I was suffocating in this stupid shit. I untied the first two buttons of my shirt and tugged on it as I stretched my neck, taking a deep breath. “You're so dramatic! Come on! This year is not so bad. It's at our place this year instead of those dipshits,” Nikolai said as he sat up. “How can you stand to be aro
Adrian's POV Milo clings to my side with a firm grip on my shirt. He nibbles on his lip, trying not to look any visitors in the eyes. Years of abuse from these assholes took a toll on this Innocent little Omega. It was so hard to pull him from his shell. I'm not sure how we did it, but the three of us somehow succeeded and earned his trust. Now, he's a permanent shadow to the three of us, which we happily accept. He's always with one of us during our free time, and 9 out of 10, the three of us are together, which gives him the comfort and security of his three favorite people.It's rare for the three of us not to be together. Nikolai's father always said we're attached at the hip, which makes me wonder how Mr. Muscles ended up out here earlier without us. I look to my right and find Mr. Muscles in quite a predicament—the same one I always find him in at these events. Weston is what every Beta calls the dream catch. He's the biggest Delta one in our territory. He's not only the talle
Third Person's POV Milo nibbles on his lip as he scans the crowd. He wasn't sure he'd come, but he hoped he would. The Omega's eyes carefully move through the crowd, and his heart skips when his eyes land on him. Milo wiggles out of Weston's arms and dashes through the crowd. Timothy stands near the building, far away from the crowd. His eyes scan the area, looking for a certain Omega. His face lights up when Milo bursts from the crowd. It took him a moment to realize just how fast the Omega was running, and he took a few steps back before opening his arms to catch him. Milo collides with Timothy, and they tumble backward into a bush. They roll out of the bush and land between the bush and the pack house with Milo on top.Timothy falls into a fit of giggles as Milo peppers kisses all over his face, telling the Omega how much he missed him. The sound of Timothy's laughter is music to Milo's ears, and he pulls back to look at him. The Omega beneath Milo is beautiful, especially when h
Adrian's POV The closer I get to the drink stand, the further the asshole's smirk spreads. Of all the Alphas, Alaric is the one I hate the most. The asshole made school a nightmare. I got lucky with elementary and middle school; our pack had our own. High school is a different story. They believe it helps create future bonds between packs if their children go to high school together. The idea is that they learn together and become friends so that when they're older, they have connections with other packs instead of just their own. This idea would work if the children from other packs got along, but that's not always the case. Don't get me wrong, some people from different packs get along, but some don't.Some keep to themselves, some make friends, and people like Alaric make other people's lives hell. I missed my own graduation ceremony because me and this dipshit were having it out behind the school. This fucker thought it would be funny to shred my cap and gown and fill my trunk

Third Person's POV Nikolai was relieved that Arthur returned to his normal self once they were in the car. He sat in the center of the backseat, leaned forward, and nearly placed himself in the front seat between Victor and Leo, where he proceeded to talk their ears off, amusing no one but the Omega in Victor's arms.Once they passed the front gate, they rolled their windows down and drove through the territory slowly, trying to pick up the slightest scent of rogues. Thankfully, the air smelled clean of rogues. The only thing they could smell was the residual stench from burning the bodies.Once Leo parked the car, Arthur quickly exited the car, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared to run a lap around the packhouse. “Holy shit! He's fucking fast!” “Nikolai!” Victor scolded. “What?”“I know you're old enough to cuss, but ease up on it in front of me. I'm your father! Show some respect!” Victor said firmly, and Nikolai dropped his head.“I'm sorry, Father!”“Apology accepted! L
Third Person's POV The evening was winding down, and the only packs remaining at Arthur's were Victor's and Alpha Merle's. Merle is a quiet Alpha who sticks to himself. His pack is located at the farthest Northwest end of the peninsula. It's the most rural part of the peninsula, tends to be the coldest, and gets the most snow, making it the least desirable area to build a pack. Because of this, Merle doesn't have much of a threat, especially since no other packs are near him. He has no allies, but not because he was refused. It was rather because he hadn't requested one, and the few people who had reached out to him, he turned down. He doesn't attend any of the events, such as mating ceremonies. The only things he attends are the mandatory Alpha convention and the annual celebration. To say everyone was surprised to see Merle attend Arthur's party would be an understatement. It wasn't mandatory, and he didn’t bring all his unmated members, which would have explained why he was the
Third Person's POV “Shit!” Weston cursed as he jumped to his feet, pulling Skyler with him. The Delta turned and took Skyler's face into his hands.“Run as fast as you can, and don't look back! Don't stop until you're in our room.” Weston said, dropping his hands and glancing back at the rapidly approaching threat. He looks back at his terrified Omega, whose eyes are filled with tears. “NOW! RUN!” Weston yelled before turning and shifting in one fluid motion. Knox snarled as he bolted forward, charging the enemies as he pushed against his Alpha's link. He was met with an empty link, reminding him that the Alpha, the Commander, and a good portion of their pack were gone, visiting Arthur's pack for his big party.Weston pushes on the Beta's link, and Joseph quickly opens it.Three hundred feet away, where Skyler stood on the blanket, he was horrified when he watched his mate run toward danger. His feet are rooted in place, unable to move. He wants to obey his mate but doesn't want to
Third person's POV The day was exceptionally warm for early spring in Michigan's upper peninsula. There was hardly a cloud in the sky and nearly no wind. When the wind did blow, it was light and surprisingly warm. The sun was set high in the sky, shining down on his light tan skin, which looked like it'd been kissed by the Sun. His eyes sparkled as he grabbed a grape and popped it in his mouth. Skyler intensely watched Weston remove a block from the tower. He covered his eyes when the tower wobbled. When he didn't hear it fall, he peeked through his fingers as his mate successfully placed the wooden block on top. “Haha! Yes! Look at those skills!” Weston said excitedly. Skyler smiled at Weston but frowned when he realized it was his turn. The Jenga tower was taller than ever and became more unstable with each piece moved. Skyler pulled his lip between his teeth as he gently touched each piece, searching for the loosest one. He found one and held his breath as he slowly pushed it t
Third person's POV Charlie was eager for more, while Victor was thankful the guitar was being unplugged. The Omega frowned when Arthur hopped down from the stage. “Why is he stopping? I want to hear another song!’’ Charlie said, folding his arms. He was tempted to tell the Alpha to get back up there and sing at least two more songs. He's never seen anyone sing like that in real life. Arthur was like a rockstar on stage. His long wavy hair flowed all around him as he moved on the stage, jumping and throwing his head while playing the guitar like he was trying to break it. He didn't know most of the songs but he loved how the music made his limbs move. The Omega almost squealed when he heard the drums begin to play. He had no idea there were any there. They were hidden behind a large black curtain. Moments after the drums began playing, the curtain opened, revealing a large drum set just like the Omega had seen on TV. Charlie squealed as he leaped out of his Alpha's arms and tried cl
