Third Person's POV Hughes slowly woke up to a weight on his chest. He felt tingles on his arm, and under his t-shirt. He blinks his eyes open and looks down to see Ethan is laying on top of him. Claudius is still tucked under his arm, with his arm and leg wrapped around him. Ethan's body is draped across him and Claudius, with his head resting on Hughes' shoulder. Hughes closes his eyes. He couldn't believe he woke up with his mates in his arms. All those dreams he had of being with them, just to wake up to reality hitting him in the face when he woke up alone. But this time is different. He woke up, and it was like the dream is still going on, because here they are, laying in his bed, asleep in his arms. Hughes opened his eyes and lightly trailed his fingers along Ethan's back. Ethan hummed and nuzzled his face against the Alpha and Hughes smiled. Hughes looks at Claudius as he caresses his back. He looks so sweet and peaceful as he sleeps. Hughes pressed a kiss to his forehead,
Third Person's POV"I'll let your father and Thaddeus know you're here." The warrior said as he led them into a large empty conference room. Hughes walked around the room, letting his fingers rake across the books on the shelf as he passed them.He turned around and watched his little mates walk around the room, just as he did. "Who's this?" Ethan asked, pointing to a picture of a man who looked similar to Hughes.Hughes approached Ethan, his arms slipping around his waist as he approached from behind."That would be my grandfather," Hughes said and Claudius stepped around Hughes to see the picture. Hughes wrapped his left arm around Claudius and smiled as his mates looked at his grandfather. Ethan slipped out of his arms to continue looking at the rest of the pictures. His face lit up when he saw a table at the back of the room with coffee and snacks."Sweet!" Ethan said happily as he picked up a few cookies. He happily chewed on one as he approached Claudius and brought a cookie
Third Person's POVAs Hughes enters his territory and passes the gate, he slows down, looking at the guards. His body tenses when he realizes it's not the same team that was here when they left this morning. It was nowhere near a shift change, and they should be here still. He could understand one of the guards missing, but not all three.Once he rounds the corner and they're no longer in sight, he speeds up and pushes on Colton's link. After a moment, he turns and looks at Jack and they both exchange a look. "Something's not right. I can't feel Colton." Hughes said through the link to Dominic who was in the car behind him, and Jack who was sitting next to him.Hughes stops the car and looks at Jack."Go get your mate, and get him to the Omega shelter!" Hughes watched as Jack didn't waste time, and quickly left the car.Hughes grabs his phone and dials his father's number."I can't reach my beta, send everyone now!" Hughes said and hung up the phone as he pressed the gas pedal to the
Third Person's POV Ethan was trying to stay strong for Claudius as he held him while he cried. But the truth is, he was fucking terrified! This is so far from his norm, that he's having a hard time wrapping his head around it. Ethan's fear only intensifies as he looks at the monitors and watches a new group come into view. He watches Jameson hit a button, and Claudius looks up when they are able to hear what's being said outside. "That fucking piece of shit!" Ethan yelled, wanting to go out there and shut the asshole up when he heard the horrible things he just said to Hughes. Claudius whimpered at the words and wrapped his arms around himself, looking down at the ground, feeling ashamed of himself. Hating the fact that he's the cause of all of this. "I wish I never came here! This is happening because of me! This is all my fault." Claudius' broken voice said, causing everyone in the room to look at him. Ethan quickly knelt next to Claudius and grabbed his arms. "Baby don't say
Third Person's POV Hughes closes his eyes as his men take his father from his arms to carry him home. Dominic moves in front of Hughes and he drops his forehead against Dominic's shoulder as he breaks down crying again. "I'm so sorry my brother!" Dominic said. His heart breaks for his Alpha. Not only did he lose his mother, (even though she was a bitch), but he lost his father too. Hughes' his heart felt like it had been ripped from his chest. As an Alpha, he just had to endure feeling many of his pack members die. And then on top of that, both his mother's and father's death. He holds onto Dominic, his body weak and trembling as he tries to stand. Zane grabs Hughes' right arm and pulls him to his feet. Zane looks at Hughes, and gently pats his chest, "I'm so sorry, Alpha Hughes!" Hughes scans the crowd. He looks at the men that were following the elders. He looks at his father's men, who were following his mother. He pushes away from Dominic and Zane, stumbling forward tow
Third Person's POV As soon as they saw their mates coming down the hall, they quickly opened the door. Practically bursting out of the room, and racing toward their mates. Joshua and Jameson flew past Claudius, who is still a little slow due to his weakened state. Zane opens his arms as he kneels and his mates chests collide with his, almost knocking him backwards, but he braces for it before impact. Hughes holds onto the wall as he walks down the hall, and tears fill his eyes as he sees his mates racing towards him. They come to a stop in front of Hughes instead of jumping into his arms, which confuses Hughes. He looked at them nervously, not sure why they weren't jumping into his arms like Zane's mates did. Did they change their mind? Did he somehow disappoint them during the war? Do they find him weak and not worthy to be their mate? Yes, they saw how weak he was, but it wasn't from how he performed during the war. They saw how weak he was walking down the hall, and could
Third Person's POV Hughes felt bad as he watched Jeremy walk down the hall with Dominic as they walked towards Dominic's room. It was as if his body was going through the motion of walking, but he wasn't there. His mind was somewhere else, stuck in a state of shock and pain. Dominic opens the door to his room, and looks back at the Alpha, giving him a sad smile as he places his hand on Jeremy's shoulder, leading him into his apartment. Hughes lets out a sad sigh and continues walking up the stairs with his mates. At least Jeremy won't be alone tonight. He's thankful Dominic offered to let Jeremy stay in his guest bedroom. With the way Jeremy is acting, he doesn't think he should be alone. "I'll make us dinner," Ethan said as they entered the apartment. Hughes opened his mouth to tell Ethan don't worry about it, he'll just have Mary Ellen send some food up. But then he remembered Mary Ellen hid with the other workers in the basement when the elders cleared the pack house, tryi
Third Person's POV Waking up with both of his mates draped across the Alpha's body, helped a little to ease the painful ache that laid ahead of him for the day. His chest felt tight and ached as he walked through the large field of sacred funeral pyres. With most packs, only the Alpha's family is buried. Everyone else is laid upon the sacred pyres, and their bodies are burned as they say the sacred prayer to the moon goddess, sending their loved ones home. Hughes's chest tightens even more as he enters his family's graveyard. His eyes roam over the many headstones, knowing his father is about to be laid to rest, with the rest of his deceased family. Hughes looks down to his left and sees Jeremy with the same expression that he's had since yesterday. He looks pale, and as if his mind isn't there. As if he's an empty shell, going through the motions. The only sign that he's there, is the unshed tears in his eyes. Hughes reached out and took Jeremy's hand into his. Jeremy slowl
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
