Third Person's POV

Colton was furious as he left Alpha Hughes' office. He stood in the hall for a moment, trying to get control of his anger until he remembered Claudius.

All anger was gone and replaced with concern as he raced down the hall, and up the stairs.

He knocked on the door and after not getting a response he twisted the handle. He slowly opened the door, when he heard the sound of Claudius crying he quickly followed the sound into the bathroom. As he entered the bathroom, his heart broke when he found Claudius laying on the ground crying. The scent of blood filled his nose and his eyes land on the bloody hand towel, clenched in Claudius's hand.

"Oh Claudius," Colton said as he scooped Claudius off the ground and carried him into his bedroom.

He sat on the bed, holding a very broken Claudius who gripped his shirt with his good hand, as he cried.

"I'm so sorry, Claudius!" Colton said as he rocked Claudius, running his fingers through his hair, trying to calm him down.

    Third Person's POV Alpha Hughes sat there at his desk listening to Dominic read off the report on training and patrols. But for some reason, Hughes just couldn't focus on what he was saying. All Hughes could think about was the tears in his mate's eyes. The blood on his hand from the glass. The betrayal, that was almost palpable, and the way his lip trembled. Hughes abruptly stood up, and Dominic stopped talking, confused at the anger that flashed across the Alpha's face. Dominic watched Hughes walk over to the cabinet. He pulled a glass and a bottle of rum out, then began pouring himself a glass. Dominic sat there confused as Hughes downed a glass, before pouring himself another. He downed the second glass as he walked back to his desk, with the bottle in his hand. "I'm sorry, continue." Alpha Hughes said as he poured himself another glass. Dominic raised an eyebrow. "Is everything okay?" "No!" "Are you finally going to tell me what's going on?" Dominic said, sitting b

    Claudius's POV I closed my eyes and pressed my face into Colton's neck, gripping him tighter as he held me. I couldn't see it, I just couldn't do it. I couldn't look at his door, the hall, or anything to do with the Alpha's floor. As soon as Colton stepped into the hall, I could smell the Alpha. Even though he wasn't there, his scent lingered. Or maybe it was seeping out through the door from his room. "Hang on, we're almost there," Colton said, and a moment later I heard a door open, and the scent of Colton invaded my nose even stronger, washing away any lingering scent of the Alpha. I opened my eyes and turned my head to look around as he sat me on my feet. His place is nice! It has a rustic feel. Dark wood throughout his apartment, dark brown leather couches, and a large dark wood kitchen table. It's a open floor plan, with the kitchen on the back left, and the dining room in front of it, off to the left. On the right side, from the entrance, all the way back to the sliding gla

    Claudius's POV I groan as I wake up and grab my head to stop it from spinning. I squint my eyes open when I hear a door. I look around and quickly realize I'm not in my room. "Hey, you're awake!" Dominic said as he walked out of the bathroom. "I feel like I'm dying!" I said then groaned at the throbbing pain in my head. Dominic chuckled as he approached me and then sat down. "Here, take this." He said, handing me two pills and a glass of water. "What's wrong with me? Why do I feel like this?" I asked as I handed him the glass back and laid down, massaging my temples. "That my dear Luna, is what we call a hangover. Thankfully you're a werewolf, those pills should kick in fast." Dominic said, referring to our incredibly fast metabolism, and how quickly we digest our food. Our body absorbs everything much quicker. But that also means we get rid of it much faster. "I don't remember everything from last night. Did I win?" "No, you lost, then blamed Colton for cheating and growled

  • Claudius, a Delta's fight for Love   Chapter 22 Alpha Hughes

    Third Person's POV Hughes growled when he felt his mother pushing on the link for what seemed like the 100th time. He looked at Claudius's delicate face. His fingers trailed down the side of Claudius's face, then he leans forward and pressed a kiss to his forehead. "I'll be back soon, sweetheart." He whispered before standing up and forcing himself to walk away to deal with his pestering mother. "Please keep an eye on him, I won't be long. I need to go and deal with that bitch, and my mother. I'll be back as soon as I'm done." Hughes said and Dominic smirked. It felt good to hear the Alpha is mad at Natalie. It felt good to hear the Alpha call her what she is. "Where are you going?" Hughes said when he saw Colton coming down the hall. "I'm going to see my Luna!" Colton said annoyed Hughes would even ask. "You can go see him later, right now I want you to come with me." "Listen, you can't keep me from seeing him." "I'm not, that's not what this is about. Right now I need my

  • Claudius, a Delta's fight for Love   Chapter 23 Time after Time

    Claudius's POV I stared at the door after it closed, then slowly reached my hand up and touched my forehead, where his lips were moments ago... His lips, they were on my forehead! I felt a warmth spread through my chest, and little butterflies danced in my stomach. A smile spreads across my face as I remember the feeling of his lips against my skin. I closed my eyes, remembering the tender look in his eyes as he looked at me. The warmth of his hand on my cheek, the way his thumb caressed my skin. I never felt anything like that before in my life! Is that what it's like to feel loved? If so, I want to feel it again! It felt amazing! No one's ever looked at me like that before. My eyes opened and I felt a heat spread across my face when I realized I wasn't alone. My hand dropped from my forehead and I turned to see a soft smile on Dominic's face as he looked at me. "See, I told you he cares about you," Dominic said, and I couldn't stop the cheesy smile that spread across my fac

    Claudius's POV Colton holds me up as I rinse my mouth out, and Dominic flushes the toilet so I don't have to see my vomit. I hold onto Colton as I turn toward my room and he leans down and lifts me into his arms. I look out the small window as we walk past, and realize it's been a while since I felt the warm summer air. "Can you take me outside? I want to sit on the porch swing and get some fresh air before the storm comes." I said, seeing the storm clouds in the distance. "Of course!" Colton said, smiling at me. .... I take a deep breath, taking in the beautiful summer air, and the storm that's coming. It's still a ways away, but I can smell it. I can smell the rain, and it smells wonderful! I slowly rock myself on the porch swing, looking out at the beautiful green grass, and watching the trees sway in the wind. For some reason, the rain reminds me of home, and I find myself wondering what everyone is doing at home. How is the Alpha? How is Noah? Has he found love yet? Is

  • Claudius, a Delta's fight for Love   Chapter 25 Rogue

    Third Person's POV Colton raced out of Claudius's bedroom and barged into Dominic's room, causing Dominic to stumble back. Colton raced through his room, flinging the patio door open, and leaping off the balcony. Colton wasted no time shifting. He was on all fours as he touched the ground. The sound of Nexus' paws thundered, as they hit the ground. The earth under Nexus' paws was always so relaxing, but this time, It's anything but. Nexus' heart ponds in his chest as he races towards the enemy. It's been a while since they've been under attack. It's been a while since they've seen any rogues in their territory. The rain poured down as he raced towards the enemies. "Jonathan, how many are there?" "I... I'm not exactly sure." "What the fuck does that mean?" "Well, so far I only see one, and it's hiding in a bush and won't come out. But it's okay, we have him surrounded." Colton didn't even bother responding, he was annoyed at this point. He thought they were under attack

  • Claudius, a Delta's fight for Love   Chapter 26 Hisses and Growles

    Colton's POV He seemed frozen in the same shocked state, staring at me the entire time I ran back to the pack house. It wasn't until I was walking up the stairs, and entered the front door that he seemed to finally snap out of it. He began frantically looking around, looking at everything as though it would somehow get him. Mary Ellen walked out of the bathroom near the stairs, and my adorable little mate immediately hissed at her and began swatting at her, even though she was a few feet away. She took a step back, startled, placing her hand over her chest. Her face almost immediately softened and a smile spreads across her face. "Oh my goodness, he's absolutely adorable! I didn't know there were any still alive! At least not in our area." She said and ignored the threatening hisses as she approached us. "Get him bandaged up and I'll bring some soup up. I have some leftover creamy seafood chowder from dinner yesterday. I'll warm some up and bring it up myself." My little mate l

She was proud of herself that she was able to get the exact bounce house Emmett wanted. Emmett looked around the yard, making sure everything was in place before heading inside to find his mates. Two hours is usually as long as Emmett can go without being near his mates and smelling them. But this time he only made it an hour and a half before his wolf was on edge and whining for his mates. Looking around, Emmett sees the balloons were up, the bounce house was almost ready, and the decorations throughout the yard were set, everything was just right. Relieved, Emmett quickly said goodbye to Ruth before darting into the house. Dominic and Dimitri had just finished wrapping gifts when the door burst open, and a head full of dark hair came bursting into the room. Dominic opened his arms and his little Omega leap

Jeremy never thought he would see the day when he would lead his own team of warriors, but here he is, leading a team of 50 men and women. Even though his cousin told him if he worked hard enough and proved himself, then one day he could have this position, Jeremy didn't believe it.

Sawyer trails his fingers along James' smooth muscular chest, enjoying the wonderful sensation of the mate bond as tingles dance under his fingertips. His eyes land on the bracelet he's wearing and his heart flutters. His eyes take in every detail of the brown braided leather bracelet. It looks so well crafted, and the Omega wonders how they got the metal infinity loop so perfectly in the center. His eyes go to the word “Forever” carved into the infinity loop, and a warmth spreads through his chest. He rotates his wrist and looks at the ring on his finger. He's never had a mate give him jewelry before. He's never had a mate shower him with gifts. Whenever James is in town, he always stops by the pastry shop and grabs Sawyer’s favorite desserts. Whenever something catches James' eyes that he thinks his mate might like, he brings it home an

    Third Person's Pov Timothy plays with his tail as he chews on the popcorn and then tilts his head to the side. His eyebrows knit together as he watches the guy in the black suit and black cape race around town in a strange-looking black car. Timothy leans against Colton and reaches into the bowl, grabbing a handful of popcorn before shoving it into his mouth. He tilts his head again as the guy in the black cape almost seems to be flying, but he's being pulled along by a string of some sort. Timothy pulls his tail under his chin as the guy in the cape begins fighting the bad guy with makeup on his face. Timothy whimpers when it looks like the good guy in the cape is getting hurt and he turns and buries his face in Colton's neck. Colton sets the popcorn down on the table next to them and turns the TV off. He pulls his little mate into his lap and wraps his arms around him. "I'm sorry, I thought you might like Batman," Colton said as he caressed Timothy's back. Timothy cautiou

  • Claudius, a Delta's fight for Love   Chapter 157 They're Dead

    Third Person's POV "Oh shit, Dimitri, wake up!" Beckett said as he reached over and shook the Alpha awake. Dimitri opened his eyes as they came to a stop. His eyes widened when he saw Dominic, Hughes, and Colton with an army of men arguing with his brother at the front gate of his family's pack. "Shit, what are they doing here?" Dimitri said as he opened the door and climbed out. "What's going on?" Dimitri called out and Dominic's eyes closed before he turned around. Relief washed over Dominic when his eyes landed on Dimitri. The Commander ran forward and threw his arms around his mate, causing Dimitri to stumble backwards and fall onto the hood of the car. The loud arguing voices ceased as they turned toward Dimitri. Hughes ran his hand down his face, relieved Dimitri was okay. Anthony looked at the two who just arrived and anger quickly filled him. Hughes' men move out of his way as he stormed forward. "Where the hell have you two been? Do you realize you both almost c

    Third Person's POV Dimitri pulls into the familiar driveway of his old pack and smiles when he sees his best friend leaning against the guard house. Beckett smirks as he pushes away from the building and walks toward Dimitri's car. "Goddess, did you not shower before you left? You fucking reek of sex!" Beckett's nose scrunches up as he climbs into the passenger seat and closes the door. Dimitri laughs and shakes his head before pulling his friend into a hug. "It's good to see you too, asshole!" "Oh my Goddess, your brother is driving me crazy! Why did you have to go and leave me?" Beckett said as he put his seat belt on. "I'm sorry, it was just never going to work out between us. I left you for a beautiful tall dark and handsome man." Dimitri said and Beckett threw his head back laughing as he shoved the Alpha's shoulder. "So, I couldn't find anything on this Leon's Valley pack. They must be on the DL because they're not registered and listed on the map." Beckett said as he op

    Third Person's POV The further into Ethan's preheat he gets, the clingier he becomes. If he's not in his nest, he wants to be touching both of his mates. At first, he was okay holding the other's hand if he was in his mate's lap. But now, that's not enough. The Alpha laughed when Ethan practically pulled Claudius on top of him, just so he could hold both of his mates and wrap his body around them. The Alpha didn't mind, he loved having both of his mates on him like this. He loved it even more when he could feel the rumble of their chest as they both purred. Ethan was just like other omegas in preheat when it came to sleep, he loved it. But he wasn't like other omegas when it came to food. Most Omegas don't want to wake up to eat. Their mates struggle to get their Omega to eat. But with Ethan, that was not the case. With the slightest scent of food, Ethan was wide awake and eager to eat. His appetite increased, and he couldn't seem to get enough. Just mentioning food, had the Om

    Third Person's POV Emmett couldn't look at Dominic, he was too ashamed. He lay there with his legs open and his head turned away from them as silent tears rolled down his face. Emmett squeezes his eyes closed and holds back a whimper as Dimitri examines the damage. Dimitri lets out a sigh, "You definitely tore yourself. But it doesn't look that bad. I only see one tear." Dimitri said and Emmett felt even more stupid. "Don't do that honey. You're not stupid. But we're not going to be able to have sex for the rest of your heat." Emmett's stomach dropped and his lip trembled. "Don't worry baby. There are other ways we can take care of you during your heat. We just won't be able to enter you until you're healed." Dimitri said as he reached for more gauze and peroxide. Dimitri glanced at Dominic when he felt his movement. Dominic lifted the ice pack and tried examining himself. Dimitri reached over and pressed against his knee, pushing Dominic's leg open further as he leaned in

  • Claudius, a Delta's fight for Love   Chapter 153 Emmett's Heat Pt2

    Third Person's POV Dimitri's tongue slips into Emmett's mouth as he begins pushing his hips forward again. Tight walls stretch, hugging the Alpha's cock tight, pulling him in. Emmett feels the burn as he stretches. He feels the Alpha's cock moving deeper inside him. His fingers dig into Dimitri's back and he holds back a painful whimper. Once buried deep inside him, the Alpha grunts and rests his forehead against Emmett's forehead. Emmett lets out a shaky breath as he realizes he's no longer a virgin. He feels so much pressure, and so full. 'How in the world could I possibly fit two in there?' Emmett wondered and then bit his lip when the Alpha began drawing his hips back. It felt so strange feeling the Alpha's cock slowly leave him. Emmett let out a shaky breath as the Alpha slowly pushed his hips forward again. "Look at me, love." The Alpha said and Emmett realized his eyes were squeezed closed. Deep-blue eyes fluttered open and caused Dominic and Dmitri's hearts to s
