Abigail PhillipsI'm sorry about the mistake with Azalea's name in the last chapter (calling her Angelica). I corrected it, but it's pending approval.

The Darkness Within Chapter 21 Identical Twins
Azalea's POVI stood there confused as he disappeared before my eyes. He disappeared into the shadow near the wall, and I stood there in shock. How could he do that? Instead of going for a walk, I turned around and headed back upstairs to my room. Once there, I lay down, and the events with him unfolded before my eyes. The moment I realized he was my mate. Instead of the reaction I've heard so much about, I received the complete opposite. He looked horrified to find out I was his mate. That didn't just sting a little; It felt like someone ripped my heart in half. I had heard so much about those tingles and always wondered what it would feel like when my time finally came and I found my mate. If he wouldn't accept me, I at least wanted to feel those tingles. I didn't expect them to feel so good. I didn't expect it to connect me to him even more. I didn't expect it to hurt so bad to hear him say he could never be with me, and I had never been so frightened in my life. The only thing t

Third Person's POV The twins were bubbling with excitement as they drove to the east side of the peninsula. Xavier focused on the road while Theo and the twins sang with the radio. Damien sat in the front passenger seat, scrolling through his emails and text messages, replying to the packs that responded to their request for a visit. “Well, that was the last one. They've all agreed to allow us to visit.” Damien said as he marked off the ones they visited the day before. The hotel they stayed in was 45 minutes behind them, and their first destination of the day was coming up on their right. The car slows, and the twins squeal as they turn into the long drive. They peer out the window, look into the woods, and wonder if their mate is out there. This pack seemed more rustic. The long driveway leading into the pack was gravel, and the guard house looked old. The car came to a stop as the guards approached, and Xavier rolled the window down. “My name is Xavier Davis,” Xavier said, a

Third Person's POV The inside of the pack house matched the outside. It was very uninviting. The place was spotless and looked unlived in.It was oddly quiet, too quiet for a pack house. The maids were easily spotted; they were wearing black-and-white outfits. Xavier and Damien were alarmed when they saw two male Omegas wearing maid dresses, but a moment later, they saw another male Omega wearing black-and-white pants and a shirt.“Are your male Omegas forced to wear those dresses, or is that a choice?” Xavier asked.“Oh no! That's their choice! Those are our fem boys, or in the bedroom, they're called sissies,” Anton said, and Mark chuckled. The Alpha bit at his thumbnail as he looked over his shoulder at the two fem boys and shook his head when he saw one bend over and expose his ass. The sound of Xavier's throat clearing had the Alpha looking forward and smiling at Xavier. “I thought he missed a spot,” Anton said, and Mark snorted. After walking to the other side of the pack ho

Third Person's POV Theo sat on the bed, hugging the pillow and fiddling with it as Xavier paced the room. Damien followed closely behind, desperately trying to talk him down. The words spilled from the Alpha's mouth as he mumbled about choking the idiot, stabbing him in his sleep, slicing his throat, and ripping his heart out. Xavier had every death possible for Anton planned out by the time he was done pacing and just needed to choose which one was the right course of action. “M-maybe he's not as bad as he seemed. I mean, he was much different once he had Ollie in his lap. Maybe he just needed a little push to get there?” Theo said, and Xavier and Damien both stopped and looked at him. The Omega plucked at the pillow harder, and Damien crumbled. He quickly moved toward his Omega and climbed into bed. “I'm sorry! I didn't mean to forget about you. I just didn't want our Alpha to do something he would regret,” Damien said, and Theo immediately shook his head. “No! He has every rig

Third Person's POVXavier, Damien, and Theo spent the week with the twins and their new mates, and at the end of the week, they knew it was time to go. Even though they didn't want to leave their sons, they knew they had to. Neither twin wanted to leave their mate, and their parents couldn't force them—not without starting a war, which would only hurt the twins. “We'll be back next weekend to check on you. I want a call at least once a day,” Xavier said as he held the twins' faces, one cheek in each hand.Xavier looked back at Anton as he spoke.“If I don't hear from my son before I go to sleep I'm showing up and knocking on your door. And I'm not referring to the front gate or the front door of this pack house. I’m referring to YOUR door! There isn't a guard here that can stop the beast inside from getting to his sons, so I don't recommend crossing me!” Xavier said sternly, and his eyes flashed brown, the color of Bear’s eyes.Driving away and leaving their sons in that pack was one

Third Person's POV Leo refused to go to Brandon's room. He didn't want to share a room with someone who accepted Anton's behavior. No amount of begging and pleading from Brandon worked. The Omega returned to the room he spent with his parents the past week. Unfortunately, once he was inside the room and all alone, it was suddenly the last place he wanted to be. It felt suffocating in there; the walls felt like they were closing in on him. He snuggled the pillows his parents slept on, but it was no good. No one was there to hold him. No one was there to tell him everything would be okay. It was empty and quiet—too quiet! When Leo couldn't handle the silence any longer, he opened his door and found Brandon sitting outside, leaning against the wall. The Beta looked up, and Leo's lip trembled. As soon as Brandon opened his arms, Leo flew into them, crashing against the Beta's chest. “Can I take you to my room?” Brandon asked, and Leo nodded against his chest. Brandon collected the Ome

Third Person's POV Ollie sat quietly in a chair while Leo and Brandon argued. If the Omega weren't so sad, he would have laughed at how nervous Brandon looked as Leo laid into him while waving the rules in his face.Brandon dropped his head and let out a breath when his mate turned away from him. Brandon wasn't sure what his brother was thinking. He didn't expect Anton to give Leo almost the same exact set of rules he gave Ollie. The only difference is that he's not asking Leo to call him Daddy, but he expects Brandon to punish him if he falls out of line.“If you don't, I will?... Who the fuck does he think he is?!” Leo yelled, repeating what Anton told Brandon when he saw the expression on his brother's face, letting him know he had no intentions of punishing Leo. Brandon had to restrain his mate to stop him from climbing over the desk to get to his brother. He was shocked at the words that flew out of his mouth. No one had ever talked to his brother like that. He thought he was g

Third Person's POV Maverick was surprised when Coal wanted to play a game of chess on Monday evening. Their game day is normally Wednesdays, and seeing as Maverick was going stir-crazy and about to lose his mind because his other half wouldn't stop crying about his “pretty little angel,” Maverick jumped at the opportunity for a distraction. Before the game even started, Maverick sensed something was wrong. The normal nonchippery Alpha was even less chippery than normal. It was like someone twisted the stick in his ass and bent it sideways. “So, are you going to tell me what's on your mind?” Maverick asked as he sat back in his chair and folded his arms over his chest. Coal blows out a breath as he sits back in his chair and drags his hand down his face. “I'm worried about my brothers.”“Which ones? Your parents popped children out like bunnies! You have a lot of Brothers,” Maverick said and Coal's face scrunched up in disgust. “The twins,” Coal said before reaching up and moving

The Darkness Within Chapter 58 Family Night
Kyle's POV I'm a nervous wreck as I walk to his room. My palms are sweating and my heart is racing. I know I'm early, but it's better to be early than late. I stop in front of his door and am suddenly more nervous than ever. My stomach twists in knots as I try to find the strength to raise my hand and knock on the door. When I finally did, I nearly had a heart attack when the door opened before my hand touched it. “Oh, hey! What are you doing here?” He asked, and my stomach dropped. Did I hear him wrong earlier? Maybe he forgot, or changed his mind. I felt stupid and wanted to disappear.“Oh, I-I thought you were going to the movies with me?” I said, stepping back and ready to walk away. “I am! What I meant was I was getting ready to come get you. Now I don't get to impress you by picking you up,” he said as he stepped into the hall and pulled the door closed. I felt a rush of excitement and my heart beat faster. He wanted to impress me! “So, where's this theater at?” Kevin asked
The Darkness Within Chapter 57 Working together
Kyle's POV I'm surprised I was able to focus with Kevin around. It was only when I had to look at him that I became a fumbling mess. It also didn't help in the least bit when he spoke. His voice was so smooth and just the right tone. It wasn't soft, but it wasn't deep, it was perfect! It sent a shiver down my spine each time his voice broke the silence. I wondered if anyone else could see how much his voice affected me; I hope they couldn't. “Kyle, I hate to do this, but I really have to go,” my assistant Carla said, turning away from the slides and stretching. “Any other time, I'd stay until you kick me out, but my terrified mate is finally starting to warm up to me. I promised him a special evening tonight. I'm going all out for dinner. I'm making prime rib. He's never had anything like that before. I don't want to go back on my word. You know how hard that is for abused Omegas. Our word is everything until they fully trust us,” Carla said, reminding me of her newly rescued mate,
The Darkness Within Chapter 56 Botner
Third Person's POV “Has anyone ever told you you smell weird?” The annoying thing in the seat behind Maverick asked. The Omega in the seat behind Maverick hasn't stopped talking since the moment they pulled away from the pack house. He began to regret begging to go with Coal. What made it worse was Coal saw his regret and misery. The little shit was smirking every time he looked at him. “Has anyone ever told you you're annoying?” “All the time!” Noah said happily, a smile beaming on his face as though he had just given him a compliment. Maverick groaned and glanced in the backseat at the other Omega. “So, you're some kind of plant expert, huh?” Maverick said, hoping to shut the other one up. Kyle smiled as he turned his head away from the window and looked at Maverick. “Yes, I guess you can say that. I'm a botner!” “Are we taking you there so you can check out their garden?” “Yes. I asked them to collect samples from all of their crops. I'm also going to take samples from the
The Darkness Within Chapter 55 Hope
Third Person's POV “I don't know, what if it doesn't work? It's going to make it worse. You'll hurt him even more,” Asher said as he dragged his hand down his face and began pacing. “If it fails, I'll take full responsibility, but I don't think it will. I know he's in there. I just know it!” Michael said, pulling Asher to a stop, kissing the side of his face, and then pushing him toward the trees. “Make sure he doesn't see you,” Michael said before turning to face the warrior with Alpha blood. He looked more nervous than Asher. “I, I don't know about this. I-I, what if he doesn't stop?” “Calm down! Don't worry about him, I will. You just focus on your job, and that's hurting me as much as you can,” Michael said, and the Alpha swallowed thickly.The warrior looked into the woods and prayed Asher would keep his word. He looked forward, looked at Michael, and swallowed before quickly moving forward and landing a solid punch to Michael's face. ~Noah held the little girl in his arms,
The Darkness Within Chapter 54 Good Morning
Third Person's POV The Omega didn't sleep in his tent like they had planned, but he did sleep in his Alpha Bear's arms. Truthfully, as fun as the idea of sleeping in the tent was, there was no other place he'd rather sleep than in the arms of his Alpha.The morning sun rays shined into the room, reaching onto the bed and warming the Omega's exposed skin. He feels the warmth of his Alpha's body, which he's curled up tightly to. Ollie’s head rests on his chest, his right leg draped over EJ, and the Alpha's strong arms are wrapped around him.He feels the warmth of the sun on his back, and it slowly wakes him. The Omega lifts his head and looks down at his Alpha's sleeping face. His heart flutters as he looks down at him. He's so handsome. His chest is so muscular. The peaks of his chest are massive, and the ripples of his stomach are present even as he sleeps. His facial hair is just long enough to run his fingers through. He loves how it's longer on his chin and shorter as it rises up
The Darkness Within Chapter 53 A day together
Third Person's POV Both Omegas lie in their tent with their heads hanging out so they can look up at the sky. Their arms are hooked together as they talk.The twins spent the entire day together, starting just before breakfast. They did everything from breakfast to a run through the forest in their beautiful brown bears, which are much smaller than their fathers and mates, to lunch in town at their favorite diner before visiting their friends. At first, Ollie was quiet and timid, but the longer they were together, the more the Omega relaxed. The more he relaxed, the more the old Ollie emerged. Getting the smaller Omega to begin pulling pranks didn't take much convincing. The Omegas giggled as Ivy chased them out of the pack house, where they stumbled over each other and rolled in the grass in a fit of laughter.Somewhere along the lines, Ollie began to find himself again. What happened in that room didn't leave him, but it no longer consumed his every thought, it no longer defined h
The Darkness Within Chapters 52 Movie Night
Third Person's POV EJ leaned his head back in the shower and sighed as the hot water rained down on his aching muscles. Anders kicked his ass on the training field this morning before helping him move all of his stuff to Ollie's pack. EJ didn't realize how much crap he had accumulated over the years, it was way more than he realized. He lost count of how many times he went up and down those stupid stairs, and not just at River Pack, but at his new one, too. It wouldn't have been so bad if Anders didn't wipe the field with body beforehand, not to mention the chunk his stupid bear almost took out of his ass when he tried to walk away from him. The stupid jerk laughed at him every time he saw him wince.Steam poured out of the shower as EJ stepped out, wrapping a towel around his waist and then grabbing a second towel to dry his hair. EJ rubs his hand on the mirror so he can see. He looks down and sees a box filled with Ollie's stuff that he hasn't unpacked yet. The Alpha smiles and op
The Darkness Within Chapter 51 Poison
Third Person's POV The Omega sits in the window as meditation music plays behind him. The sun warms his pale skin that is only covered in a large oversized white t-shirt and black shorts. His bare feet are tucked under one of the cushions and pressed against the cool wood below it. His arms are wrapped tightly around his legs, and his cheek rests against his knees. He stares outside, watching people go in and out of the woods. He can tell which ones have recently shifted; their hair is a mess, and they're either wearing shorts or sweatpants. Every now and then, he hears the howl of a wolf running free in the woods. He closes his eyes and pictures his own wolf. His eyes sting and burn as they fill with tears, rolling down his face as he pictures his beautiful fur. “Spirit,” He whispers as he pictures his wolf's beautiful white fur and bright blue eyes. He searches the depths of his head, as deep as he can. He looks into every dark place but comes up empty. The Omega buries his face

Third Person's POV “What?” Vanessa said as she held her hands out, palms facing up, gesturing “what” with her hands. Ryder blew out a breath as he shook his head, his attention going to his daughter as she scrambled to her feet.Azalea feels the heat in her face as she frantically straightens her clothes. She looks to her right and is shocked to see Maverick standing so calmly and casually, not bothered in the least bit that her father caught them in such a heated moment.Azalea clears her throat as she steps forward, approaching her father. “Uh, hi! I wasn't expecting you home so soon,” Azalea said, brushing her bangs to the side to get a better look at the lady standing beside her father. Ryder glances between Maverick and his daughter before giving up, pushing a breath out. His shoulder slumps as he shakes his head. Vanessa bites her cheek to stop herself from laughing. She taps the stressed Beta's shoulder as she steps in front of him. “Hi, sweetheart. You must be Azalea,” Va
