Third Person's POV
Thaddeus pushed all the plates aside after they were done eating. He was hoping to finally get some answers and find out who did this to him.
The Alpha looked at Aiden, who looked content as he leaned back in his chair and licked his lips. His hands rested on his stomach as he let out a little hum. Thaddeus fought the urge to scoop his mate into his arms and squeeze him. ‘He was just too adorable!’ The Alpha thought.
“Aiden, can you tell me who did this to you?”
The Omega instantly tensed and nervously looked down at his lap as he began playing with his fingers.
Thaddeus hated that someone hurt the Omega and made him afraid to talk to his own mate.
“I know you are afraid to talk to me. I know you don't know me, but I promise I will never hurt you! You're my mate, sweetheart. I would never hurt you! I care about you… I need to know what happened. I need to know who did this to you. When I said I won't let anyone hurt you again, I meant it. You don't have to be afraid to talk to me.”
Aiden looked at Thaddeus but made sure not to look him in the eyes. This broke Thaddeus's heart because it meant only one thing. It was beaten into him never to look anyone in the eyes.
Thaddeus reached over, placing his fingers under Aiden's chin, and gently raised his head.
“Aiden, look at me… It's okay. You don't have to be afraid to look at me. I promise I'll never hurt you!” Thaddeus said softly as he caressed Aiden's jaw.
Thaddeus sighed when the Omega still wouldn't look him in the eyes. The Alpha let go of Aiden's chin as he sat back in his chair.
“Can you at least tell me what pack you're from?”
“I-I came f-from Blood Moon Pack.” Aiden said after the few moments it took to gain the courage to speak.
“Can you tell me who did this to you?” Thaddeus asked, and Aiden looked down at his hands resting in his lap.
“The A-Alpha,” He whispered.
Rage instantly filled the Alpha. It coursed through Thaddeus, swirling and burning. ‘His own Alpha did this to him! What kind of piece of shit would hurt his own people?’ The Alpha thought as his hands curled into fists and his jaw clenched tight. His body trembled as he struggled to control his anger and his wolf's... Zeus wanted out. He wanted revenge. The Alpha's chest vibrated as a growl rose from deep in his chest.
A whimper snapped the Alpha from his rage. His eye snapped to Aiden, and his stomach dropped.
Aiden's body trembled. His arms wrapped tight around his body, and his head hung low. Tears streamed down his face as his lip trembled, struggling not to cry. The scent of fear rolling off of the Omega was strong. Thaddeus felt like an ass for scaring his mate.
Thaddeus wanted to pull Aiden into his lap, but he knew that would scare the Omega. Thaddeus turned his wheelchair and reached over, gently cupping his face, but his eyes remained squeezed closed.
“I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you… I just got so angry at the thought of anyone hurting you. Especially your Alpha. He's the one person who was supposed to protect you, and he didn't.”
Blue eyes slowly opened, and he looked at Thaddeus. The Alpha could see the surprise in his eyes.
Thaddeus's heart swelled as Aiden looked into his eyes. The Alpha gently caressed his cheek with his thumb, and a warmth spread through his chest when the Omega's eyes slowly closed. he turned his face into his hand, leaning into it.
They stayed like that for a short while. Thaddeus didn't want to push Aiden too much. He's just starting to gain his trust. Thaddeus slowly took his hand back and then sat back in his chair. He glanced at the time and then mentally cursed. It was 10:00 a.m. and he was supposed to be on the training field by now.
Thaddeus didn't want to leave Aiden but he promised Marcus he'd help him on the training field today. The Alpha let out a sigh as he looked at Aiden.
“I'm sorry, sweetheart. I have to go to the training field now. I'll only be gone a few hours… Are you comfortable going downstairs?” Thaddeus asked, and the Omega quickly shook his head.
“Okay. You can stay up here then. You can watch TV if you want to.” Thaddeus said as he backed away from the table. He held his hand out to help Aiden to his feet before entering the apartment.
Thaddeus grabbed the remote off the nightstand and handed it to Aiden before making his way into the closet to change. A few minutes later, when the Alpha came back out, he found Aiden sitting on the bed, staring at the remote with a confused look on his face.
The Alpha let out a slow breath, calming himself when he realized Aiden had no idea how to use the remote.
“Here, let me show you how it works,” Thaddeus said as he approached Aiden. The Omega looked embarrassed as he handed the remote over.
“It's okay, sweetheart.” The Alpha said softly before explaining how the remote worked.
“What do you like to watch? I can put something on for you.”
Aiden looked even more embarrassed than he was earlier and looked down into his lap again.
“I-I don't know… I've n-never watched TV before,” He said quietly.
Thaddeus didn't say anything for a moment. He looked at his mate, shocked. What does he mean he's never watched TV before? ‘What the fuck?! Did that bastard keep him in a fucking dungeon or something?’ The Alpha thought angrily. The Alpha's rage was quickly rising, so he held his breath for a moment, trying to get control of himself. The more he learns about Aiden, the more it paints a picture of his life, breaking the Alpha's heart.
Thaddeus sighed as he handed the remote to Aiden and showed him once again how to change the channel.
The Alpha's heart broke as he looked back at Aiden, who had no idea what a remote is, let alone what the damn TV was. The Alpha never wanted to kill someone as bad as he does right now. He wanted to slowly tear that Alpha apart and hear him beg for mercy. Mercy that he would never get.
Thaddeus swallowed the lump in his throat before pulling the door closed.
The Alpha struggled to contain Zeus as he made his way through the pack house. For a moment he almost lost control in the elevator. That would have been a disaster.
The Alpha wanted to know more about Aiden. But he was also afraid to find out just how bad it really was. The Alpha is suddenly reminded of the doctor's words, and his eyes close as his heart breaks. ‘Has he been dealing with this abuse his whole life?... What about his parents? Where are they?’ The Alpha runs his hand down his face and tries to clear his thoughts which are running rampant with Aiden's past.

Third Person's POV As Thaddeus approached the training field, he heard Marcus yelling at two warriors as he corrected their stances. The training field is packed with six teams plus their Captain. Each captain is responsible for 50 warriors. With six teams, that's 300 warriors on the training field, and Marcus is their Commander. As Commander of Thaddeus's army, every Captain and warrior is under Marcus’s command. Marcus walks up and down the center aisle, watching each team go through the movements and making sure they're doing them correctly. He nods at a captain helping a struggling Delta 2 through his movements. As Marcus walks a little further, he nods at his friend Roy, another Captain helping a dominant Delta 3. The commander makes it to the end of the line and then turns before commanding everyone to shift to their wolves and proceed with the second part of training. Marcus makes his way back towards the front and smiles when he sees Thaddeus waiting for him. He wa
Third Person's POV Aiden was sound asleep when Thaddeus entered the room, so the Alpha slipped into the bathroom for a quick shower. When the alpha came out of the bathroom, he found Aiden still asleep. The alpha made his way around the bed and stopped in front of Aiden. The Omega was lying in his usual position, face down near the edge of the bed, with his face in the perfect position for the Alpha to look at. The sheets were tangled around his body, and his foot was sticking out. He was adorable! Thaddeus raised his hand and lightly brushed the hair away from his forehead before trailing his fingers down the side of his face and gently cupping his cheek. His thumb lightly stroked the Omega's cheek, and his heart beat faster when his blue eyes fluttered open. The Alpha's heart skipped a beat when those beautiful blue eyes landed on him. The Alpha felt he could live the rest of his life looking into those eyes. They were so magical. They held so many emotions and caused the Alpha t
Third Person's POV Aiden wasn't sure what was going on or why the Alpha suddenly seemed angry. He was shocked when the Alpha yelled at him. The Omega flinched and then wrapped his arms around himself. His eyes stung as they filled with tears, unsure of what he had done wrong. The Omega wasn't sure why it hurt so much, knowing he had made the Alpha angry, or why it hurt even more when he yelled at him. It was nothing like a beating, but somehow, it hurt just the same. Aiden was shocked when the Alpha shifted right there in the dining room. He wasn't sure what was more shocking, the fact that the Alpha shifted inside, or the fact that his wolf was using all four legs… Or maybe it was how massive he was. The Omega had never seen a wolf so big before. Not even his old Alpha was that big. As big and scary as his wolf was, he couldn't help but notice how beautiful he was. He was so black and shiny, and his fur looked so soft and perfect. The Omega was surprised the Alpha wolf had fit
Third Person's POV Aiden held the strange girl, who somehow felt familiar until she stopped crying. He glanced toward the tree line, looking for Thaddeus and wondering where he had gone. The front door swinging open draws Aiden's attention away from Thaddeus. The Omega saw a frantic Xander slide to a stop on the porch. His eyes move to the female in Aiden's arms, and the Beta freezes. Xander's body stiffened as he stared at the girl in his Luna's arms. The Beta just spent the last few minutes searching the pack house for Aiden. When he came out of the kitchen, the Omega was nowhere to be found. He checked the bathroom and nothing. He checked his room, and it was empty. The Beta’s stomach dropped at the thought that the Omega might have gone outside after he was told not to. Xander ran down the stairs faster than he ever had. Not only did the Omega ignore a direct order from the Alpha, but she was in his arms. “Mate!” Oz said as he pressed forward, staring at his mate and hatin
Third Person's POV Without the Alpha, Aiden wasn't sure what to do. He stood awkwardly by the front door, hoping the Alpha would come back soon. He didn't miss the sad expression on the Alpha wolf's face as he walked away. He wasn't sure what it meant or why he looked so sad. He wasn't sure why it affected him the way it did, but it caused the Omega's heart to ache. Aiden glanced out the window, searching for the Alpha, but he didn't see him. The Omega's thoughts go back to his sister. He wondered why he couldn't remember her or anything about his past. What about their parents? Their father, mother, or dad? Are they alive? Did something happen to them? These thoughts raced through the Omega's head but ceased at the sound of voices outside. The Omega jumped and looked out the window next to the door again. His eyes immediately land on pack members walking past, heading toward the tree line. Aiden looked around and wondered if he should be standing somewhere else besides near the
Third Person's POV It's been a month since Aiden ran away. Jackson and his father have been looking for Aiden but haven't found any signs of him. His last known location was the cliff where he jumped into the water. His body hasn't yet been found, nor have there been any signs that he survived. Jackson refuses to believe he's dead. He ignores the rumors when they say there's no way he survived that fall in his condition. Maxwell was surprised the Omega was even able to walk out of there. He knew he got the Omega good that day and expected him to still be unconscious in the morning. The two idiots that fucked up and let Aiden get away were killed for their incompetence. Maxwell was furious and made an example out of them. As far as Jackson goes, he didn't realize how much Aiden meant to him until the Omega was gone. He didn't realize how much he wanted him until he ran away. Now, Aiden is all Jackson can think about. “He’s mine, and I want him back!” Jackson said as he fell
Third Person's POV As Zeus ran through the woods, words Thaddeus hadn't heard in so long went through his head. Words that were so distant from the years that had passed were suddenly loud again. Thaddeus could see the disgusted look on his first mate's face as he looked at his legs. Zeus slows down when he comes out of the tree line, and the river comes into view. The Alpha wolf walks to the river and takes a drink before lying down. Zeus lays his head on his paws and whimpers. The Alpha wolf's heart aches when he pictures his mate holding that girl. Thaddeus tries not to think of their happy little reunion, but it's pointless; he sees Aiden's face in her hands. Thaddeus tries not to think of the mate he thought he had and just lost, but Aiden is all he can think of. A twig snapping has Zeus standing up and growling in its direction. The Alpha relaxed when Marcus stepped out from behind a tree. “Whoa, Alpha! Down killer. It's just me,” Marcus joked as he approached the Alpha a
Third Person's POV As Xander obnoxiously carried Abigail away, Thaddeus looked at Aiden and could see he was still nervous. Thaddeus reached forward and took Aiden's hand. “Come on, sweetheart. Let's go finish lunch.” Aiden smiled. The endearing name caused his heart to skip a beat. Before Thaddeus, no one had ever talked to him so gently, nor had he ever been called sweetheart. Aiden looked down at Thaddeus's hand. His hand looked so small inside of Thaddeus's large hand. He felt the tingles dancing along his hand and traveling up his arm. He looked up at Thaddeus when he felt a tug on his hand. The warm smile on the Alpha's face caused his heart to flutter. A warmth spread through the Omega's chest as Thaddeus pulled him to his feet. Aiden hung back as they entered the dining room. He wasn't sure if he would be allowed to sit in the same chair. He waited for everyone to sit down, hoping the chair next to Thaddeus would still be available. He was afraid someone else might s
Thaddeus's POV I looked on in horror as the doctor frantically worked inside Aiden's stomach while a nurse readied the machine with two paddles in her hands. “It's ready Dr.” The nurse said with a trembling voice. “One more second Angela, I almost have it…” The doctor said as he focused as hard as he could. “Got!” The doctor said as he quickly withdrew his hands from Aiden, and held them in the air while the nurse moved forward with two paddles. “CLEAR!” The doctor yelled as he moved away and a nurse told me away from Aiden. The nurse placed the paddles on his chest and I held my breath as tears streamed on my face. My heart felt as though someone ripped it out of my chest. I couldn't believe this was happening, the pain was so bad. It seemed like forever before his body suddenly jerked violently, his back arching off the bed. The nurse looked at the monitor which spiked for a moment but was already back to a long continuous line, and a constant sound came from the machine.
Aiden's POV I hear cars pulling up as I walked towards the food tent. I looked over to see Noah climbing out of the car and was excited to see him. I haven't seen him since the week after I woke up. Everything's just been so busy at both of our packs, we haven't been able to see each other. "Noah!" I called out as I happily waddled over to him. He laughed when he saw I was trying to waddle faster toward him. He shook his head before he took off running toward me. Probably feeling sorry for my poor attempt at trying to walk fast. "There's my very pregnant, Luna!" Noah said as he leaned over my massive stomach, and hugged me. I wrap my arms around Noah, squeezing him tight. "I missed you so much!" I said as we pulled away from the hug. "I miss you too, brother from another mother!" Noah says smiling. He then drops down to his knees and rubs my belly. "Hey in there! It's your big brother Noah!" He said to my stomach and my heart swelled. I know he looks at Thaddeus as a fathe
Noah's POV "Noah baby, we have to get up." I hear Michael say again. I bury my face deeper into his neck, "No, I don't want to," I said, my words sounding muffled from my lips being pressed against his neck. I opened my mouth and sucked on his neck, as I let my hand roam down across his stomach until my hand was wrapped around his cock and Michael hissed. "Noah, we have to get up!" Michael said in his deep, rough, sexy morning voice. I hear Michael growl as I squeeze his cock. Feeling it twitch in my hand as it stirs to life. I slowly began stroking it as I suck and kiss on his neck. "Fuck, little one!" Michael says as he growls. I rock my hips forward, pressing my hardened length against his hip, letting him feel how hard I am. "Little one, you're being very bad!" Michael said with a growl. I continue to stroke his length, letting my thumb slip over the head, running my thumb along the slit as I spread the precum around for lubrication. I bite down where my mark is and tha
Aiden's POV There was so much blood. The blood kept pouring from his mouth as he coughed. The knife protruded from his chest, and the blood poured from the wound. His lifeline was fading quickly, each strand snaps rapidly. I feel the mate bond rapidly getting weaker until the final snap and I no longer feel him. That final snap was painful and excruciating. It tore my heart out. "Thaddeus!" I cried out and screamed at the top of my lungs. My heart hurts so bad. My world crumbled right in front of my eyes. "Ai..." I can't live without him, I can't breathe without him. I don't want to live in a world where he's not there. "Thaddeus!" I cried out, screaming at the top of my lungs. Something shook me and I heard an echo of a voice. "Aid..." Thaddeus faded away until I couldn't see him anymore. "No! No, no, no! Come back! Don't leave me here alone without you! Take me with you! I can't live without you!" I screamed again. "AIDEN!" My eyes shoot open as I take a large breath
Noah's POVMichael's lips slowly pressed against mine. I feel his tongue brush against my lip and I open my mouth, granting him access. I feel his tongue slide against my lip as it enters my mouth. I felt his tongue against mine as our tongues danced.I felt my heart swell as the emotions swirled within me, my love for Michael, and the love I could see he has for me. The way he was so gentle with me just now. I could see how hard it was for him to keep going. I could tell he wanted to stop and hold me. It almost seemed harder for him than it was for me. I feel my eyes sting and burn as tears fill them again, knowing how much he loves me and I can't even feel it yet through the mark.I move my hands from around his neck and slowly trail them along his chest. Feeling the curves of his hard muscles, letting my fingers glide along the rise and fall of his chest, then down his sides.I push my hips forward against Michael, and he slowly starts to move his hips. Michael draws his hips back a
Noah's POV I lay here in bed after my shower, waiting for Michael to finish his shower. Even though my heat is over, I still find it difficult to be away from him. I've practically been glued to his hip all day. I even took a nap in his lap while he worked in his office. Don't ask, I know, embarrassing! But what can I say, I kinda love the Alpha jerk! I get excited and nervous when I hear the water turn off. I've been thinking about it all day. I want to complete the mating process. He's my mate, I want to see my mark on his neck that states a lot and clear that, that's my property! Keep the fuck back! I want to bear his mark, I want to see it on my neck every time I look in the mirror. I want to feel it every time I run my fingers over my neck. I want to feel my body shiver and tremble every time he touches it because only he can have that effect on my mark, and my body. I want to feel him. I want to know what he's thinking. I want to hear his thoughts and feel his feelings.
Noah's POV I slowly wake up and try to stretch my legs out, but pause when I feel something under my feet. Even when I move them around, trying to get away from what's below my feet, it's still there. I slowly start to move around and open my eyes, just to see it's completely dark. Confused, I started pulling everything off of me, which took me a few moments because there was a lot of junk on top of me. I finally pulled the last blanket off and noticed I'm also surrounded by Michael's clothes. I lay there looking at the ceiling for a moment trying to get my bearings. I was confused why I'm lying where I am, instead of next to Michael. I sit up and look over the edge of this thing. I don't see him anywhere, so I sit up all the way and look around me. 'Fuck me!... Seriously? Like when the hell did I start making these damn things?' I wondered, then kicked my feet out and kicked the bottom of the stupid thing away. I pushed my right hand out, knocking the right wall out, and watche
Noah's POV I woke up with heavy arms around me and light snores coming from behind me. I move around a little, adjusting myself, and freeze when I feel something hard pressing between my bare ass cheeks. I feel Michael stir behind me as he presses himself closer. I get a warm sensation in my stomach that travels straight to my cock and I bite my lip, trying to suppress a moan. I pushed back against Michael, pressing his cock against my ass harder. I moan as I feel the slick leaking from me. I rock my hips back against him and feel his cocks sliding between my ass cheeks, pressing his length against my hole. My cock twitches as it leaks and my breath catches in my throat. I rock my hips again, pushing against him and wishing he was inside me. I reach down, grabbing ahold of my cock as I push back against him again. I feel Michael's cock slide between my cheeks, pressing against my hole as I slowly begin to stroke myself. My eyes closed, and my mouth opened as I moaned. I feel Micha
Michael's POV I sit here, staring at Noah as I gently run my fingers through his hair. My heart beats a little faster as he starts to stir, and makes a little sound. I watch those beautiful blue eyes flutter open, and he looks around for a moment before his eyes land on mine. He squints his eyes at me, looking at me confused for a moment before blinking his eyes and looking around. He takes a sharp breath and, I'm assuming he is remembering everything that happened. His body immediately begins to tremble and his breathing accelerates. His eyes dart around the room as he grips the shirt tight that was in his hands. "Sweetheart!" I said and his eyes snapped to mine. His eyes widen as soon as he sees me, "Michael?" He whispered, his lip trembling before he threw the blanket back and launched himself at me. The sudden impact knocks me backward onto the bed, and my arms wrap around him as he buries his face in my neck. His hands grip me as he desperately tries to wrap himself aro
