Third Person's POV Even though it was just a meeting, Harris was a nervous wreck. Only Atticus' people and Harris' friends and family know he's a submissive Alpha and pregnant. And now he's about to tell the rest of his friends and family. In the large conference room sits Harris, Atticus, Zane, Asher, Noah, Michael, Thaddeus, Aiden, Julian, Reid, Matthew, Isabel, Maddox, Finn, Addison, Christian, Cain, Gabriel, Justin, Malaki, and, Tristan and Cyrus around the large oval table. Some know why they are gathered, the others do not and their curiosity is piqued. Atticus squeezes Harris' hand reassuringly before leaning over and kissing his cheek. The larger Alpha stands and lets his eyes linger on each face before he begins speaking. “What I'm about to say is not a joke in any way shape or form.” Atticus pauses and lets his eyes roam the room once more, making sure everyone can see how serious he is. “Yes we are aware that this is unusual and has never happened before, but now it h
Third Person's POV After asking around, Thaddeus found Noah curled up under a tree near the back corner of the backyard. He was curled up in a tight little ball with his head resting on his hands. The sight would have normally melted Thaddeus's heart, He looked adorable! But instead of melting his heart, it broke it. Thaddeus quietly approached Noah and gently scooped his son off the ground before sitting down and placing him in his lap. The Omega yawned as he nuzzled against his father's chest and almost wanted to purr as his father's scent wrapped around him. The Omega's blue eyes fluttered open and landed on his father's eyes. Noah's eyes closed again when Thaddeus leaned down and kissed his forehead. Thaddeus looked off into the woods as he thought. “What Michael said to you was wrong on so many levels. He was mad and scared about what was going to happen to Harris, I get that. He wasn't sure where that anger came from, so he assumed it was because you laughed and hurt Harris
Third Person's POV Noah went to pick the children up from daycare while Thaddeus pulled his clothes on and then angrily stormed toward the packhouse. Thaddeus didn't have to look hard to find Michael. As soon as he entered the back door, Michael was walking out of Harris' office. Michael's eyes widened when he saw the rage in Thaddeus's eyes as he stormed toward him. “You bastard!” Thaddeus growled, drawing his fist back and shooting it forward. The crack of Thaddeus' fist making contact with Michael's face echoed in the hall and in the blink of an eye Michael was lying on the ground. Thaddeus immediately jumped on top of Michael, wrapping his hand around Michael’s throat, and his fist connecting with Michael’s face again. Asher, Cyrus, and Harris quickly grabbed Thaddeus and pulled him off of Michael. The three strong men struggled to hold back the Alpha with Alpha King's blood coursing through his veins feeding his rage. His muscles bulged and his veins strained against his skin,
Third Person's POV Asher smiled as he peeked into the bedroom and saw Noah and Michael wrapped around each other, cuddled up under the blankets. It felt so good to see those two together again. Asher was afraid it was going to take a lot longer for these two to come together again. ‘If I would have known all it took was a blow to the face for Noah to accept Michael again, I would have done that a long time ago!’ Asher thought and held back a laugh. The Alpha looked at them for a moment longer before quietly leaving the apartment and giving the two some much needed alone time. The Alpha made his way down the stairs and to the other side of the pack house where their little children were. As soon as he entered the room his little Omega's eyes lit up. Luke jumped to his feet and his little legs moved as fast as they could as he ran to his father. Asher quickly knelt and opened his arms. Asher's large arms wrapped around the little 3-year-old Omega, almost covering his entire little
Third Person's POV After Noah was satisfied with his scenting session he rested his head on Michael's shoulder. After a few moments Michael pulled Noah's Head back to look at him. Michael caressed Noah's cheek with his thumb as he looked into those bright blue eyes that always makes his heart skip a beat. “I love you!” Michael whispered before pressing his lips to Noah's. Noah's eyes widened and he pulled back when he felt Michael's tongue brush against his lips. Michael's eyebrows knit together as he looks at Noah confused. “I can't, I'm not ready for that,” Noah said before rolling out of his arms and sitting up. Noah let out a breath as he ran his hand through his hair. “I'm sorry! I, I thought we were okay now.” Michael said as he sat up. “We are but we're not. I'm still not okay… This was okay, holding each other and cuddling, spirit and I needed that. We missed you. We missed your touch and your scent on us. But I'm not ready for everything else.” “Oh,” Michael sa
Third Person's POV Harris was a mess, his nerves were through the roof and he could barely stand still. He watched as more and more people showed up and every part of him screamed to run and hide. He hated it! It was such an unfamiliar feeling, to want to run and hide from your own pack members when you're their Alpha. Harris knows it's the pregnancy hormones that are already raging inside, causing him to want to run and hide, to protect his child. Harris feels a hand rest upon the small of his back and he immediately feels better. The smaller Alpha lets out a breath as he turns and presses his chest to Atticus. Atticus’ arms wrap around him like a warm protective shield and the wonderful scent of ash invades his nose and calms his nerves. “Why am I so nervous?” Harris felt stupid for being so nervous and afraid. “Because you have every right to be nervous and afraid! This is huge! No one has ever seen this before. Everyone you told so far is either family or close enough that th
Third Person's POV The crowd gasped and voices rang out as they began chatting amongst one another. “Is this a joke? There's never been a submissive Alpha in the history of werewolves! It's not possible!” A Delta one stepped forward, voicing his opinion loud and clear. “I promise you this is no joke! I can hear my child's heartbeat and smell the change in my mate! Trust me, he is submissive! I've witnessed it myself!” “Atticus!” Harris scolded through his teeth as he smacked the larger Alpha's shoulder. Atticus's head whipped toward the crowd at a few giggles. “Oh my Goddess, he's going to be the cutest Alpha ever when his belly is big and round!” a submissive Delta 2 exclaimed before screeching joyously as she jumped up and down. Excitement quickly rolled through the crowd as others began picturing their Alpha pregnant. But with the excitement of many came those who weren't excited. “If this is true then he's an abomination! He's a disgrace to all Alphas!” an Alpha Blood ma
Third Person's POV Cyrus tries to keep up with Brian's story as he flips the burgers, but the damn Delta is talking so fast that Cyrus can barely keep up. It doesn't help that he's barely paying attention. His eyes keep wandering to his mate who's swimming with River. Cyrus's eyes narrow in on Tristan's muscles when he lifts the Omega over his head and tosses him. The Beta's eyes darkened as he watched the water beads roll down Tristan's body. The sound of River's scream has Brian's head whipping around and he watches in shock as his mate goes flying through the air before splashing into the water. A moment later River's head pops up and he glares at Tristan before growling and swimming as fast as he could toward the Beta. “That little Omega of yours sure is feisty!” Cyrus shook his head as he turned back to the grill and turned the corn. Brian laughed as he popped a chip in his mouth. “That he definitely is. And I wouldn't have it any other way!” Brian said as he began setting
Third Person’s POV The sound of Evelyn's laughter rings out. The little Omega covers her mouth while she laughs at the icing all over Nadja's face. The Elder was taken off guard this time. Evelyn didn't give him a chance to anticipate what was coming. She simply called his name and when the elder turned she stuffed a cupcake into his face. As shocked as Nadja was, the beautiful sound of her laughter was worth it. He sat there for a moment before bringing the napkin in his lap to his face. Evelyn continued to laugh as she stood up and took the napkin from Nadja. The Omega sat sideways on his lap as she cleaned the icing from his face. After wiping the icing from his eyes they fluttered open and Evelyn froze, her breath caught and her heart skipped a beat for the first time. Nadja froze when he heard her heart skip. For a moment the Elder couldn't move. After a moment Nadja reached up and took the napkin with one hand while bringing his left hand to her creamy white cheek. “Thank y
Third Person's POV Grayson laughed as he ran from his growling brother. Ezra didn't find it funny when his brother froze his entire bowl of soup as he dug his spoon into it. The little King tried to ignore his brother as he brought his cup of juice to his mouth just to have the frozen contents slide out and hit his nose. Ezra growled as he reached out and shocked Grayson. The Future Alpha King yelped and then took off running with Ezra hot on his tail. Silas ran his hand down his face as he watched the two brothers chase each other around the yard. Grayson, now 10, created a snowball in his hand and threw it at his brother, hitting him square in the nose. This only infuriated Ezra and the 8-year-old thrust his hands forward, shocking Grayson. Grayson grunts as his body falls to the ground mid-sprint. Grayson blinks his eyes just in time to see Ezra lunging for him. His eyes widened as he tried to roll away but he was too late. The younger brother landed on top of Grayson and quickl
Third Person's POV It's been 5 years since Harris had their first child. A year and a half later their son Niles was born. He's an omega, a dragon/werewolf hybrid at the curious age of 3 and 1/2. Atticus doesn't know if they'll have any more kids. But his heart is content knowing he and his mate brought two dragons into this world. Not only that, they honored his Father and the Dad he had for such a short time. Michael got over his anger with Noah removing his tubes rather quickly. Asher on the other hand had to keep his walls up constantly. Onyx was devastated. He had hoped for more children, even though Noah expressed his desire not to have anymore. Onyx couldn't wrap his head around why Noah would take something like that from him. He didn't understand it, even after Asher's explanation. Onyx wished he would have kept a closer eye on Noah. The Alpha wolf was adamant that he would have never let the Omega take something like that from him. The Alpha wolf was so angry at Noah, tha
Third Person's POV Xavier stuck the bottle into the warmer and nervously glanced at Theo. The Omega rocked back and forth as Vivian fed from him. Damien was out cold on the couch due to Vivian having a hard time sleeping last night so the Beta was up with her. Xavier scratched the back of his neck as he struggled to find words for the Omega. He felt beyond guilty for the thoughts that went through his head at the hospital, and for the way he snapped at Theo when he asked a simple question about their child's name. Xavier hated the thoughts that went through his head when he felt Damien die and he hated that those thoughts didn't go away while he waited for Damien to wake up. The Alpha wasn't sure what to say, or how to make amends, or how to make things right again. Xavier wished Theo would be mad at him. He wanted the Omega to lash out, shout at him, yell, scream, or hit him. He felt he deserved it and so much more. After laying Vivian in her swing, Theo went back into the kit
Third Person's POV Xavier can't feel anything beyond the excruciating pain of the broken mate bond, and his broken heart. He can't even bring himself to comfort his hurt omega who is curled up in the fetal position on the floor next to him, sobbing uncontrollably. As much as he loves Theo, the Alpha can't function without his Beta who saved him all those years ago. Damien was the very air he breathed. His heart feels like it was ripped from his chest. He doesn't want to live without Damien. The Alpha's head reels as he feels the death of his little mate, and he can't figure out how to go on without him. Xavier sucks in a breath before leaning forward and screaming. Spit connects his lips as he screams while tears flow down his face and drip from his chin. The doctor works fast trying to stop the bleeding and clear out as much blood as he could so he could see. With the baby out, the doctor pulls the top of the uterus out and is shocked at how thin and weak it is. It's practically
Third Person's POV Harris slowly breathed as he held his stomach. Another nurse burst into the room and quickly began asking Harris questions. Harris almost felt dizzy with how fast everything was moving. One moment they were in the backyard relaxing, the next minute Finn was in labor, then Damien, and now he might be as well. It was all too much, too soon. Harris wasn't ready. What if they didn't have everything they needed? What if he messes up? What if he isn't good enough, and fails at being a Dad? What if it isn't a dragon, and he fails to give Atticus what he has been hoping for? Harris blinks his eyes several times and a face inches from his own comes into view. Harris realizes Atticus is holding his face. “Stop!... Everything is going to be just fine! We have everything we need and so much more. Of course, we're both going to mess up, but we're going to learn from our mistakes and do better. We're not perfect, no one is! But you will never fail at being a dad! You are going
Third Person's POV “My water broke!” Addison took a sharp breath in as Maddox rushed forward, scooping his mate into his arms and praying his little angel didn't sneeze again. No one had to say anything, it was like they worked as one mind as everyone rushed through the pack house and out the front door. The sound of two engines roared to life as the vehicles sped out racing towards the hospital. “How are you feeling? Are you in any pain?” Addison asked as she adjusted Lucian's legs over her lap. “No, not yet. Just a little discomfort in my back.” Lucian said and then slowly exhaled as his stomach became tight. Addison looked between Finn's stomach that was exposed and his face. “How bad was that one?” Addison asked when Finn's body relaxed. “Not that bad. It's just a little stronger than the Braxton Hicks.” Finn said as he rubbed his belly. The Omega closed his eyes and leaned back against Maddox as Addison caressed his stomach. Addison looked into Maddox's eyes and could
Third Person's POV As Atticus steps out the back door he breathes a sigh of relief seeing the many heaters on the patio. Fall has just arrived and Harris can't stand the cold. Dragons prefer very warm temperatures, but little dragons need and crave the heat even more. Harris' body is responding to the growing dragon in his womb, reacting as if he himself was a dragon. The smaller Alpha wears a sweater during the day while everyone else is wearing t-shirts. In the evening he snuggles inside a warm thick coat while everyone else is simply wearing long-sleeved shirts. Draven doesn't mind, in fact he loves it. He's a proud mate and father, ever protective and attentive. Their apartment is never below 78, and whenever they're snuggling or sleeping, Draven heats Atticus' body, warming their mate and growing hatchling. Addison holds the door open and watches each Alpha carefully lead their very pregnant mate out of the back door and onto the patio. Damien winces and Xavier is immediately co
Third Person's POV Harris swears his stomach wasn't this big yesterday. He feels like his stomach doubled in size overnight. Even though he's now five months pregnant, Harris was before somewhat able to hide it with large baggy shirts, but now there's no way for the Alpha to hide his ever growing abdomen. The car comes to a stop and Harris dreads stepping out of it. Especially since their little town seems so active right now. There are tons of people walking up and down the sidewalk, coming and going from each shop. Harris' hand protectively rests against his stomach, trying to hide his pregnancy. Harris nibbles on his lip before turning to look at his Alpha. “You know, we don't have to go shopping today. And, I can just get something to eat at home. Why don't we just go back!” Harris was hoping to change Atticus' mind, but the larger Alpha simply gave him a soft smile before climbing out of the car. “Damn it!” Harris cursed as he turned and looked out the window, watching all t
