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
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
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
Little Cheetah's POV I watched as he walked out of the room to answer the door. After a few moments, I quickly pulled the sweatpants on. I've never been embarrassed to be naked before. But for some reason, I am around him. I frowned at the sweatpants once I had them on. It was like sticking a twig inside a pair of pants. They were massive on me. I grabbed the strings and pulled them as tight as I could, but it did no good. It's simply bunched up until I couldn't pull it any tighter. I growled at the stupid pants and tied them. I looked down at my legs and frowned, realizing how incredibly baggy they were. If they didn't have the elastic at the ankle, they would be hanging way past my feet. I'm short, but that's how cheetah shifters are. Especially Omega cheetah shifters like myself. I'm a whole whopping 5'5, and that darn wolf that carried me was a monster! He's incredibly tall, but not as tall as that stupid Alpha. I shivered at the thought of the Alpha. Alphas scare me. They
Timothy's POV His hands caressed my back as I tried to hide my face in his neck. With my face in his neck, his incredible scent was much stronger. I took a deep breath in, and my eyes practically rolled in the back of my head. My goodness he smells so good! I thought to myself as I pressed my nose against his neck. His body stiffened as I moved my nose lower, sniffing him until I found his scent gland, and pressed my nose against it. I felt my chest vibrate, as I instantly began purring while breathing in his scent. I quickly lost myself as his scent wrapped around me like a blanket. My hands gripped his shirt before wrapping around him, pulling myself closer to him. He feels so comfortable, like home! I feel my body relaxing against him and I smile with my eyes closed, as I breathe him in. I hope he doesn't mind that I practically plastered myself to him, and had my face pressed into his neck. Just when I began to feel nervous that he might not like it, I feel his arms tighten aro
Timothy's POV After tempting to lick another bowl dry, I growled and pouted as my mate took the bowl away. I don't get why he won't let me lick the bowl. I wondered, then growled at the door where he went to the bathroom. After a few minutes, he came back out and began digging in the wooden thing. I watched as he pulled some clothes out of it, and that's when I realized what it was. That's one of those dressers that I saw in the book my Papa had. I felt sad as I thought of my Papa, remembering how things were when I was younger. For a short while we had something that we considered home. It was a cave, but it was home, and we had a few things there. One day my Papa brought home a handful of books. He sat down and read every one of them to me that night. Every night he read to me. When we had to leave, we brought the books with us. That's how I learned about all the things most people have. Things that my people used to have, but no longer do. Now we have to live in the woods an
Third Person's POV Dominic held Claudius up as he rinsed his mouth, before splashing cold water on his face. "Hang on to the counter so I can flush the toilet," Dominic said, wanting to flush his vomit, before it makes Claudius throw up again. Claudius dries his face, before turning and reaching up for Dominick's neck. Dominic leans down, scooping his Luna into his arms, bridal style. Claudius lays his head on his chest and closes his eyes. "Are you sure you're okay to go? We can do it another night if you're not feeling up to it." Dominic asked, seeing how weak Claudius is today, especially after throwing up the soup he had just recently eaten. It was the only thing Dominic has been able to get Claudius to eat all day. "Yes, I want to go. I really want to meet his mate. I've never met a cat shifter before, I'm so excited!" He said, feeling some energy coming back at the thought of meeting the cheetah shifter. .... Colton was hesitant to move forward with movie night, since thi
Third Person's POV Emmett watches the large bounce house go up and he gets excited to see the kids play in it. Ruth stood with her shoulders back and her head held high. 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
Third Person's POV 5 Years Later; Jeremy walks down the line, looking at his men as they perform their final task. He feels a sense of pride as he watches his men go through the movements, and perform each move perfectly. 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. He thought they were just words to make him feel better. Hughes not only kept his word, but he pushed the little Alpha to be better, and try out for the position… After dismissing his team, Jeremy turns around and sees his cousin smiling at him. "I'm proud of you! You have exceeded my expectations. You turned these men and women into real warriors." Hughes said as he tossed Jeremy a bottle of water. "Thank you!" Jeremy smiled as he caught the water. As Jeremy walks back toward
Third Person's POV Sawyer lays there in the warmth of his mate. He feels the weight of the Delta's arm on the small of his back as he sleeps. 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
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
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
