Third Person's POV

"No, with mates, there's a strong pull. The mate bond tries to pull mates together. Their mind might want one thing, but their body wants something else, their mate.

One minute I was sleeping, the next I was awake. My head was so cloudy from the mark, that I wasn't thinking straight. Once I felt his tongue against my lips, I snapped out of it. That's when I stopped him."

Claudius said as he leaned back against Ethan, under a tree. Claudius absent-mindedly played with Ethan's fingers that rested in his lap.

As Claudius played with the fingers of Ethan's right hand, Ethan's left hand ran soothingly through Claudius's hair. Claudius closed his eyes, leaning his head back against Ethan's shoulder. Enjoying the warmth of his mate, his soothing touch, and the wonderful summer breeze.

Ethan leaned his head back against the tree, taking in everything Claudius said, and everything he witnessed not that long ago.

He still feels horrible. Ethan could have sworn Claudius was a

Hughes is doing something he needed to do and it's to talk and explain everything to Claudius rather than ignore him.

    Third Person's POV Atlas lowered his body to the ground, and Claudius ran his hands along his back. Letting his fingers run through his fur before swinging his leg over the large wolf, and sitting on his back. Claudius reached his hand out and helped Ethan onto Atlas' back. "Oh my God, this is so freaking cool!" Ethan said, and Claudius chuckled. "Try to keep your chest pressed against my back, and lean with me when I lean, so it doesn't throw him off. Just hang onto me. He won't let us fall." Claudius said, and Ethan wrapped his arms around Claudius's waist. Atlas's heart swelled hearing the confidence Claudius had in him. Atlas stood to his feet, and Ethan held on tighter. Claudius leaned forward, holding onto Atlas's fur as he began to move. Ethan pressed his face into Claudius's back, squeezing him as tight as he could as Atlas picked up speed. The trees whipped by as they raced through the woods. Claudius had a smile beaming on his face. He loved the feeling of the powe

  • Claudius, a Delta's fight for Love   Chapter 46 The Travel Back

    Third Person's POV As Ethan held Claudius, Claudius looked up and saw how defeated Hughes looked. Claudius is quite certain he never saw his Alpha look so sad and so broken. The Alpha sat there on his knees. His head hung low, and his shoulder slumped with tears drying on his face. He looked like a man who had just given up on life, and it broke Claudius's heart. Claudius pulled back from the hug. He pressed a kiss to Ethan's lips before standing and walking around him. Claudius knelt in front of Hughes and lifted his head. Claudius's heart broke more when the Alpha's sad eyes met his. "I'm sorry Claudius!" Hughes said, and Claudius moved forward, crawling into his lap and wrapping his arms around Hughes' neck. Hughes' eyes slowly closed as he wrapped his arms around Claudius. He slowly dropped his face to Claudius's neck, pressing his nose against his skin and taking a deep breath in. Claudius pressed his nose against Hughes' neck, his face nuzzling against him as he searche

    Third Person's POV Unable to leave Claudius and go home last night, Ethan wakes up with Claudius, their bodies tangled with one another. Ethan lightly trails his fingers along Claudius's back, and Claudius hums as he slowly wakes. His body slowly begins to move, and he presses his face into Ethan's neck. A smile stretches from ear to ear on Ethan's face when he hears the beautiful little sound of Claudius' purr. He felt the rumble against his chest, and he squeezed Claudius a little tighter while pressing a kiss to his head. "That sounds so cool! I didn't know you could make that sound." Ethan said, and Claudius instantly stopped purring. Claudius hid his face in Ethan's neck, embarrassed he was purring, and Ethan pointed it out. Ethan sensed a change in Claudius, and pulled his face back to look at him. Ethan was surprised when Claudius wouldn't look at him. Instead, he looked down and looked sad. "Hun, what's wrong?" "Nothing," Claudius said, still unable to look at Ethan.

  • Claudius, a Delta's fight for Love   Chapter 48 Dying Alone

    Third Person's POV The phone slipped from Hughes's fingers and his hand dropped to his side. Hughes looked to the sky as he laid there choking on his blood. So many thoughts and images flashed before his eyes. Aside from his childhood memories, the images of his mates flash before his eyes. More tears ran down Hughes' face as he realized he would die without ever being loved by either of his mates, and it was all his fault. Hughes tries to think of those that love him, and he suddenly feels so alone. He struggles to breathe before choking on his blood again. He feels the warm spray of his blood, as it splashes on his face while he coughs. His head moves from side to side as he tries not to think of the pain, from the giant piece of metal embedded in his chest. He feels cold, but the liquid running down his body is so warm. As Hughes looks at the sky, his vision begins to blur even more. Hughes rapidly blinks, and more tears fall from his eyes when he realizes the only per

    Third Person's POV Ethan and Claudius sat in the back seat with their Alpha laying across their lap. Even though Claudius could feel the bond was stronger, and Hughes no longer felt like he was dying, Claudius was still scared. He couldn't seem to stop the tears as he ran his fingers through his Alpha's hair while Hughes' head lay unconscious in his lap. Claudius leaned down and pressed his lips to Hughes' forehead. Hughes took a sharp breath in before finally opening his eyes. Tingles danced across Hughes' forehead as he opened his eyes. His heart skipped a beat when he realized Claudius's lips were on his forehead. It almost took his breath away when he realized Claudius was kissing him. As Claudius begins to pull back, Hughes fingers raked across Claudius' face before resting his palm against Claudius' cheek. Hughes's heart stutters in his chest when he looks into Claudius' beautiful hazel eyes. Claudius lets out a shaky breath as he rests his forehead against Hughes. Cl

  • Claudius, a Delta's fight for Love   Chapter 50 A forgotten kitten

    Third Person's POV Colton hung his head as he exited the car and entered the pack house. He couldn't even bring himself to lift his head. He definitely didn't want to look another pack member in the eye. He was too ashamed. Too embarrassed of his father's actions. He slowly climbed the stairs and walked down the hall. Without even thinking, he opened the door and entered his apartment. Colton dropped his keys in the basket on the table, just right of the door before heading down the hall toward his bedroom. His heart felt heavy until a certain scent hit his nose. Colton's not sure how in the world he forgot about him, but somehow through all the chaos, he did. "My baby!" Colton whispered, before racing down the hall. He flung the door open and a little squeak was heard coming from the bed, as Timothy brought his tail in front of his face in defense. Colton's heart melted the moment he saw that little tail. "I'm so sorry, kitten!" Colton said before he moved forward and climbed o

    Third Person's POV Ethan sat there for what seemed like hours, listening to all the big bulky werewolves talk. They talked about the elders, Hughes's mother, Colton's father, and from what it sounds like, the ring leader is Hughes' uncle. Emory Delacour, Hughes' uncle is the leader, and Kent West, Colton's father is his right-hand man. And from the evidence, Elaine Delacour, Hughes's mother isn't innocent and has been in on this from the beginning. Not only was she part of planning the attack, but she was also hoping her mate, and son were killed in the process. This way, Elaine and Emory could take each other as chosen mates, and rule the pack the way they want. To do that, they needed to get rid of the elders that would be in their way, and of course two certain Alphas. Everything was going as planned. She managed to get her husband to visit her son's pack the day of the attack, while she stayed home. They didn't anticipate the two Alphas to hold up long enough for help to co

  • Claudius, a Delta's fight for Love   Chapter 52 Werewolves Can Get Pregnant

    Third Person's POV "Um... Maybe we should wait until we get back to talk about this." Hughes said. "Ok," Ethan said, then looked out the window again. Claudius nibbled on his lip, nervously glancing at Ethan every so often. Ethan looked deep in thought as he stared out the window. "No, I think they definitely said he was pregnant. They did, didn't they?" Ethan suddenly said, and Hughes' eyes slowly closed before turning to face Ethan again. "Yes, Noah is pregnant." "Wow! So he is trans? I guess I can see it. His face does look a little feminine." "What is trans?" Claudius asked, and Hughes groaned as he ran his hands down his face. Hughes was glad when the pack house came into view. This wasn't a conversation he wanted to have in the car. Hughes held the door open as his mates entered his apartment. Ethan held Claudius's hand as he let his eyes scan Hughes's apartment. "Um, why don't we have a seat?" Hughes said, gesturing to his mates toward the living room. Claudiu

    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

  • Claudius, a Delta's fight for Love   Chapter 158 Timothy

    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

  • Claudius, a Delta's fight for Love   Chapter 155 Ethan

    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
