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
Third Person's POV Leo 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, all the way 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. He's so handsome. He's so big, strong, and muscular but so soft, like a teddy bear with him. Brandon has tried so hard. He knows Brandon loves him. He can see it when he looks into his eyes and feels it each time Brandon touches him. Tears rolled down Leo's face even faster when Brandon turned and looked into his eyes. He saw the concern in Brando
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. He knew 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 with his thoughts. He needed time to process everything that had happened. Being home is finally allowing him to do that. Now that everything is sinking in, the red flags are so much brighter and louder. He knows he should have never stayed there and 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 buffalo chicken dip i
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 for a moment 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
Third Person's POV Ryder's head snaps back, and blood sprays as his body flies backward before hitting the ground, knocking the wind out of him. It takes him a moment to recover enough to push himself off the ground. He wipes the blood from his face, breathing heavily as he takes his position again. The large Delta 1 shrugs his shoulders and takes position on the mat. Ryder counts to three, and the two charge each other. The retired Beta is too slow. The wounds he sustained and the fact that he can't stop thinking about her have worn him down. Everything goes dark momentarily as Ryder takes a blow to the temple. His body hits the ground, and he's disoriented.A whistle blows, stopping the Delta 1 before he kicks Ryder’s side. “That's enough, man. You're done for the day,” The Captain said as he and Marcus pulled Ryder to his feet. “I got him from here,” Marcus said as he pulled Ryder's arm over his shoulder, held onto his wrist with his left hand, and wrapped his right arm around t
Third Person's POV Her hand goes to his face and grips it as their tongues fight for dominance. She kicks her sandals off and climbs into the tub, straddling him. His hands slide down her waist, gripping and feeling as much of her as he could before his hands move to her ass and grip it, pulling her closer as he deepens the kiss. Tingle dances along their skin, and the pull to her is incredibly strong. Her kiss is delicious, and her scent is addictive. Her fingers thread through his hair and grip it, tugging, and he growls. Her hips roll as he sucks on her lip. He thrust against her as she pulled back and looked at him. His pupils are blown, and his eyes flicker back and forth between Ryder and Rex. His lips chase hers, and her lips tug up as she pulls back just out of reach. He growls as he grabs her ass, pulling her down as he thrusts up against her. He moves forward for her lips again, and just as they brush together, she pulls back, earning another growl. His fingers glide along
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
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
Third person's POV Kyle cried and squirmed as hands touched him in places no one but someone he loved should. His legs have been spread wide open, exposing his most sensitive places to those disgusting pigs.He cried harder when they touched him between his legs, probing his ass and tugging at his flaccid cock as if they could somehow make it hard.Blood ran from his nose just as fast as tears ran from his eyes. The rogue on top of him was furious that he couldn't get him hard. Pain radiated in his face, and for a brief moment, he couldn't hear or see anything. The more they tried to get him hard and failed, the angrier they became. The angrier they became, the more violent they were.The rogue on top was shoved off, and a new one took his place, determined to fuck the Omega senseless.Unbelievable fear soared through Kyle when the rogue between his legs lined himself at his entrance. Kyle screamed as loud as he could and fought back, giving it everything he had in a futile attempt t
Maverick's POV The blood-curdling screams of Kyle had me dropping everything in an instant and sprinting in his direction as fast as I could. Shade pushed forward and growled when he smelled the stench of rogues. It was ridiculous how large these fields were. I was nearly a mile away, but thankfully, I was fast. I looked to my right when I heard Kevin cry out in agony. With Shade’s hearing, I heard the crunch of what I can only assume was a wolf biting into him and breaking a bone. I knew if I didn't help him, they would rip him apart in no time. There were too many to fight without Shade's help, so he pushed forward further. The scent of smoke was faint. I couldn't tell if any patrols were nearby over the alarming number of rogues. I didn't want to risk anyone seeing the smoke coming from us if Shade came forward too far, so he stayed back far enough that the smoke wouldn't be so strong and visible.My long, razor-sharp claws extend, and I growl as I plow through the group of rogu
Third person's POV Once I had stopped crying, I worked as fast as I could. I wanted to be done so I could go home. I wanted my dad; he always seemed to make me feel better. I plan to tell Kevin there's no need to come back with me. I can handle looking at the samples with Carla and John. I think it's best if we keep our distance. I need some time to get over him, even though nothing has really started yet. I don't know why I fell so hard and so fast, but I did; I couldn't even stop it. Somehow, it just happened. I don't think I could work with Kevin. Being so close to him and knowing he'll never steal those little touches again. Knowing that the kiss that almost happened will never happen. It's too much. It'll be torture to work beside him. I feel excited the closer I get to the woods. The closer I get, means I'm almost done. Taking one sample from the apple trees does no good. That section may not be contaminated. Each section is marked, and we take a sample from the beginning of
Kyle's POV I have a good feeling we'll find what we've been looking for in the meat samples. I was tempted to skip the fields, but I'd rather not miss anything. Besides, collecting fruit and vegetable samples is much nicer than collecting meat samples at the butcher. I wasn't freezing, and it didn't stink. I had the warmth of the sun, a warm breeze, fresh air, and a handsome man beside me as company. “So… have you not found your mate, or did something happen to him?” Kevin asked as he closed the lid on a sample jar. “No. I never found my mate. I don't know if he died when I was younger or if I just never had one,” I said with a shrug of my shoulders. “Hmmm,” He hummed as he wrote the sample name on the tag with a sharpie.His question got me thinking about him. I knew he didn't have a mate, but I didn't know why. I didn't know if he had found one and they died or if he was like me and never found his mate at all. I'm not sure which I would prefer. On one hand, if he had already fo
