Third Person's POV

Leo wondered what this meeting with Cynthia would be like. He had a bad feeling about it. The way Anton spoke of going to see her sounded like she was going to choose a position for him without asking what he would like to do.

He gave his mate and brother one last glance before entering her office. As soon as he laid eyes on her, the bad feeling only intensified. She was older, and there was nothing warm and inviting about her. She didn't even acknowledge him as he approached her desk. She continued reading something on the screen for a few moments before finally pulling her eyes away and looking at him.

Her eyes moved up and down his body as if judging who he was based on his appearance.

“You're Leo, right?” She asked as she looked back at her computer and clicked the mouse several times.

“Yes.”

“Hmmm. Are you sexually active?” She asked, and Leo's eyes widened.

“Sexually active?”

“Yes. Are you sexually active? Do you like having sex with people?”

“W-What? Wha

I know these chapters have been hard to read. I wouldn't normally post a comment like this because I feel it's sort of a spoiler, but, I fear if I don't put this comment here, some may rage quit right before the book blooms and gets good. Please trust me. I haven't let you down yet. I promise what happens in the next two chapters (this is a double update) is the only bad thing that happens to the twins.

This is breaking my heart. I’m so afraid that it’s going to break both of those sweet boys beyond repair. I hope Xavier kills him

I love your books and would never stop reading them, it’s just so very hard to read. Having been abused and not become the abuser it’s frustrating to read how the abuser is justified because of their past. Bad things always happen, they are what make us appreciate the good. Trusting you dear author

    Third Person's POV Ollie had never been so terrified and humiliated in his life. It all happens so fast. He begged and pleaded, but before he knew it, his mate had him stripped naked and face down on the chair in the middle of the room. The back of the chair had been laid flat, and his chest lay flush against it. His hands were strapped to two bars below his face, and his knees rested on red padding that sat lower and off to each side, making it as if he were kneeling with his legs spread open. He lays completely exposed, with his penis and balls hanging off the table and his cheeks spread open from his position. His whole body lays on display as tears flow from his eyes. His ass cheeks sting and burn. He's not sure how many times Anton hit him with the crop. Ollie's body jerks when he feels several strands of something gliding along his body. It feels much different than the crop. It's surprisingly soothing and feels good. The little strands lightly trailed along his back, neck,

    Third Person's POV When Ollie opened the door to leave the dark room, he found his brother crying on the floor. Leo jumped to his feet and threw his arms around Ollie's neck.“I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! This is all my fault!” Leo cried.The Omega pulled back and looked his brother over. “Are you okay? Did he hurt you?” “I don't know… I don't know,” Ollie's voice trembled, and his lip quivered before tears began to fall. The Omega was confused. He didn't know what just happened. He thought his mate hurt him. If he hurt him, then why did his body react that way? He must not have hurt him if his body found pleasure in it. His back, thighs, and ass hurt, but yet he came from it. He was embarrassed, ashamed, and humiliated, yet his body seemed to like what Anton did to him. Why? The Omega wondered. Ollie began to wonder if he was just as sick and twisted as Anton. He was ashamed of himself. He couldn't bring himself to tell his brother what happened. They both gasped and grabbed each

    Third Person's POV Brandon roared when Anton pierced his hand into his side. He grunts, fighting the urge to cry out when Anton twists his hand inside the wound. Leo and Ollie jump onto Anton's back. Ollie wraps his arm around his mate's neck and pulls back as hard as he can. Leo sinks his canines into Anton's neck, and the Alpha finally lets go of his mate. His hand slips from Brandon's body as he's pulled backward. Brandon immediately applied pressure against the wound. The Alpha growls when Leo bites deeper. Anton reaches back, grabs Leo's head, and pulls forward as hard as he can, flipping the Omega over his head and slamming him to the ground. He ignores his mate, who is still clinging to his neck. He reaches down and grabs Leo with his left hand while drawing his right hand back. Everything goes black for Leo when the Alpha's fist connects with his face.Brandon watched, horrified, as his brother punched his mate. He scrambles to his feet but slips in his own blood, and by th

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 33 Let's go home

    Third Person's POVLeo stood back as his mate, Father, and Alpha Grayson talked to Mark in the hallway. His mind was reeling with everything that happened. How his mate fought for him and his brother, what his brother lost, and knowing nothing was keeping them there any longer. Leo looked around and knew he couldn't spend another night in this place. He knew once he left, he would never come back; he couldn't. He hated this place, right down to the color of the paint. Tears filled Leo's eyes when he realized what he must do. His chest tightened, and his breath stuttered when he looked up and saw his mate in the hall talking to Mark. Brandon's so handsome. He's so big, strong, and muscular, but so soft, like a big teddy bear with him. Brandon has tried hard. He knows Brandon loves him. He can see it when he looks into his eyes and feels it in his touch. That's what makes it so much harder for what he must do. Tears rolled down Leo's face even faster when Brandon turned and looked int

    Third Person's POV Being back home never felt so good. Somehow, it helps ease the ache inside Ollie's chest. Leo tried to stay in the room with him, but Ollie knew his brother needed to be with his mate. Now that their nightmare was over, his brother and Brandon could finally bond the way they should have. They can't do that if they're sleeping in separate rooms. Also, Ollie wanted some time alone. He needed time alone to reflect on his thoughts and process everything. Being home is finally allowing him to do that. Now that everything is sinking in, Anton's red flags are so much brighter and louder. He knows he should never have stayed there. He should have left with his parents when they returned home. When Ollie looks in the mirror, he looks the same, but yet he doesn't. Somehow, he looks different. He doesn't recognize the person staring back at him. “Here, sweetie, why don't you come have a little before we go down?” Theo said as he scooped a portion of buffalo chicken dip int

    Third Person's POV Leo ran after his brother while the large bear shifter was left behind, shocked and confused. Leo banged on the bathroom door, begging his brother to open it. “Ollie, please answer me. Let me in so we can talk,” Leo said, but was met with silence. Leo frowned as he knocked on the door again. He jumped when a hand touched his shoulder. “Can I try?” EJ asked, and the Omega stepped aside.EJ stood in front of the door and paused before lifting his hand and knocking on the door twice.“Ollie, it's me, EJ. Can you open the door, please?” EJ asked, but just like Leo, he received no reply. “Ollie, I don't know everything you went through, but I would never hurt you. Please, let me in, sweetheart.”EJ’s heart began to beat faster when he heard Ollie unlock the door. A moment later, the door slowly creaked open. EJ’s eyebrows knit together when he doesn't see the Omega. He slowly steps into the bathroom, and when he peeks behind the door, his heart skips a beat when he

    Third Person's POV EJ sat down in a wicker rocking chair on the patio. He thought for sure this was a dream. It had to be! After everything he'd been through, after all the packs he searched, after falling for this Omega just to realize he wasn't his, and now he suddenly is... Is this really happening? EJ keeps wondering if he's going to wake up alone. If this is just another elaborate dream that he's had one too many times. But when the Omega tickles his neck as he happily and eagerly scents himself against his scent gland, an act that screams loud and clear who he belongs to, It causes his breath to stutter and his eyes to close as his head dips to the Omega's neck and kisses it. His heart swells when he feels a shiver run through his Omega. The touch of his lips works its magic through the magical thing called the mate bond.It felt surreal to finally press his lips to this beautiful little Omega as much as he wanted instead of limiting himself to his head, forehead, or cheek onc

    Third Person's POV “So, does this mean you're moving to this pack?” Anders asked.“What? Why would you ask that?”“Well, because his identical twin and their triplet brother live in this pack. I highly doubt Ollie is going to want to leave his triplet brothers. Especially not after what he just went through.” Anders said, and EJ looked down. “I. I never thought of that. I didn't plan on moving. I mean, I finally got my dream position! It took me forever to become a captain. I worked so hard for that… shit! I didn't think of that.” The memory of his conversation with Anders won't stop playing in EJ's head, not even as he carries his sleepy and adorable mate up the stairs. He watches the Omega yawn and rubs his eyes before nuzzling his cheek with his nose. EJ's heart swelled. Could the Omega possibly be any cuter? The Alpha wondered. EJ stopped behind Xavier while he opened the door to the apartment. He caressed the Omega's back as he nuzzled his neck, and then followed Xavier down t

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 74 Other Details

    Kyle's POV My parents were gone by the time we came out of my room. It was kind of nice to have the entire apartment alone. It made me realize that it's time to move out. Unlike higher ranks who move out as soon as they turn 18, Omegas tend to stay at home with their parents until they find a mate. Higher ranks desire and thrive being alone, but Omegas don't. It's lonely and depressing. We thrive with the company of others. We need that interaction and affection. Without it, we become depressed, our health declines, and we become weaker. The thought of moving out and living with Kevin sent a whole new wave of excitement through me. I couldn't stop talking as I moved throughout the kitchen, preparing our lunch. I was talking to Kevin about one thing, but my brain couldn't stop thinking about living with him. I began to wonder if this is what it'll feel like every day. Him sitting there at the counter watching me while I prepared our meals. That thought sent another wave of exciteme

    Third Person's POV Azalea steps out of the bathroom, refreshed with clean panties. She finds Maverick lying on the bed with his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling. The familiar scent of smoke fills her nose the closer she gets to the bed. Her heart clenches, and she exhales when she sees fire burning in his eyes. She knew she could wave her hands in front of his face, and he wouldn't see them. Whatever he is thinking about, that's where he is, and all he sees.She sighs before crawling onto the bed and lying down on top of him. Her hand rested on his face, and his eyes rapidly blinked, pushing whatever he was thinking of out of his head and coming back to her. When his eyes land on her, he feels guilty. She looks sad and concerned. He couldn't help it. The gate is constantly calling to him, and when she's not there, it becomes louder and consuming. “I'm sorry, my little angel. I will tell you when the time is right,” He said softly, and his head lifted off the pillow a

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 72 The call of the gate

    Third Person's POV Azalea presses her lips into a thin line as she looks from her book and watches her mate. He's been different since he came back from Mike's pack. He seems distant and always lost in thought, just as he is now. The book he was reading rested in his lap as he stared out at the sky. She wishes she knew what he was thinking. Every time she asks, he tells her nothing and says he was just zoning out. She can tell it was a lie. The way he looks when he's staring off into space, she can tell he's deep in thought. The way his muscles twitch around his eyes, and the way, at times, she can see fire swirling in those eyes. She's even caught the faint scent of smoke rolling off of him once or twice. “Is everything okay?” Azalea asked when Maverick set his book down and stood. “Yes, I just need some air,” Maverick said, kissing her head and stepping onto the balcony. Maverick takes a deep breath in through his nose to clear his senses. He places his hand on the railing and

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 71 Meant to be

    Third person's POV “Mine!” Kyle whispered through tears, and Kevin's heart soared. He had dreamed of this moment for over 16 years. When the Omega walked into his lab almost a week ago, he was struck by his beauty. His creamy pale skin was flawless, and his green eyes stood out against it. The way his dark chocolate hair had a slight curl and rested against his forehead made his light green eyes stand out even more. There was something about the Omega that drew him in. The more he got to know him, the harder he fell. He wasn't just a beautiful Omega. He was incredibly smart and intelligent. He had a smile that could light up the room, and the way he constantly blushed in his presence drove his wolf wild. He stumbled over his words so cutely and squirmed under his gaze. At first, Kevin thought it was simply an Omega reaction to his rank and position. He never thought this amazing little Omega who belonged to the royal family would ever be interested in him, but he was. The Delta 1 m

    Kyle's POV My cheeks felt hot as I turned to look at Kevin, but I melted when I saw the smile on his face. His hand again touched my face, but this time, instead of watching his fingers, he watched me, as if looking for my reaction to his touch. His touch felt amazing, and I closed my eyes and leaned into it. “I don't know what to think. You kissed me. You took my first kiss, but then said you couldn't do this. I don't want to hurt you, but you're hurting me,” I said once the back door shut behind Lucian as he stepped inside to grab lemonade.I swore I heard Kevin's heart skip a beat when I spoke. I looked up, wanting to look at him to see if I could figure out which part of what I said had caused that. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell. His eyes rapidly moved across my face with a greater look of wonder.“I… Y-you've never kissed anyone before?” He asked, and I felt my cheeks become warm. Of everything I said, that is what he got stuck on and caused that reaction…I looked down and sho

  • The Darkness Within    Chapter 69 I can't do this

    Kyle's POV I could tell my parents wanted to know the extent of my assault but were afraid to ask, and I'm glad they didn't. I don't like to think about it, let alone talk about it. At times, I can still feel their disgusting hands on me, touching in places they shouldn't have. I can feel the rogue between my legs, and it makes my skin crawl. I woke up screaming last night and scared my dad. I hated seeing the sadness in his eyes and the look that told me he knew all too well what I was experiencing, and he did. They wanted me to take the day off, but I didn't want to. Work is therapeutic for me, and I love what I do. I didn't stop by his room this morning to walk into work together like we usually do. I wanted some time alone with my thoughts and hoped to finish some work before he showed up. I know it'll be hard for me to focus on anything but him once he does.I was nose-deep in work when the door opened, and Kevin walked in. I didn't lift my head right away, but when I did, I r

    Kyle's POV I woke up to the sound of a TV quietly playing and fingers combing through my hair. Kevin's scent was strong, and I didn't smell the sterile scent of a hospital room any longer. I hummed as I nuzzled against him before opening my eyes to look at my surroundings. His hand moved to my back as I opened my eyes and looked around. When I did, I realized we weren't in the hospital room where I fell asleep; we were in his bedroom at the packhouse.I lifted my head to look at Kevin, and his hand moved to my cheek, caressing it as his eyes swept over my face. “You're finally awake,” He said softly, his eyes landing on mine and causing my heart to flutter before beating faster.I couldn't believe I was in his bedroom, in his bed, and in his arms. I wanted to pinch myself. It had to be a dream! “I-I am… how long have I been asleep?” I was confused. How did we get here? I can feel his broken arm against my back, and I don't feel the cast. When did it come off? Where's the swelling

    Kyle's pov “Don't worry, his wolf is strong. He was already healing him by the time the other doctor and I began working on him after the x-rays. He lost a lot of blood, but by the time we were able to get blood into him, he only needed 1 liter. We were able to fix his arm. His wolf is quite impressive. While we were setting the bones, he was trying to heal them. He's in a cast. At the rate his wolf is healing, it should be able to come off tomorrow. He has stitches on both of his sides and his back. His body will probably push them out by tonight as he finishes healing. If there are any stitches remaining when he comes in to have his cast removed, we'll remove those, too. Don't worry; he'll be okay. For the wounds he sustained, he's doing great!” The doctor said before leading the Alpha away to talk to him privately. I didn't waste another second; I raced into the room and had to stop myself from leaping onto the bed with him. My chest tightened when I saw Kevin lying in a hospit

    Kyle's POV I sprinted out of the woods; my body still ached, even though most of the external wounds were healed. As soon as I cleared the tree line, I saw Kevin limping toward us. I don't know what it was about seeing him, but everything that happened and almost happened came flooding back, and the emotional toll of it all broke free, hitting me like a ton of bricks. My lip trembled as I struggled to keep my emotions under control, but it was harder than I thought, and tears immediately rolled down my face. I saw the relief on his face, and when he said my name and tried to hobble faster, the dam broke, and I began crying as I ran faster. I was careful not to knock him over, but still collided with him. His good arm immediately wrapped around me, and his head dipped to my neck. His body froze before trembling… He must have smelled them all over me. One of them jacked off and came on me as the others tried to get me hard and rape me.“I'm sorry! I… I couldn't get away. I-I tried to
