Hi my wonderful readers! I am so sorry it took me so long for an update. I was writing the war for River and it took all my focus. We are at the end of the book, the next chapter will be the epilogue. I hope everyone has enjoyed Noah's story and his amazing journey through life after Thaddeus found him. His story doesn't end here, it continues with the rest of the series. There's many more surprises ahead for both Noah and Michael. I hope you follow along, to see what lays ahead for him. Thank you so much for reading Noah's story! And thank you so much for all your support and wonderful comments! I may not respond to all of them, but I do read them and click the heart button. Again, thank you! :)
Noah "Oh, you get back here, you little stinker!" Noah said as the now 1-and-1/2-year-old screeched, then laughed as he crawled away as fast as he could. "Oh, Daddy's going to get you!" Noah said while he chased Gabriel, as he crawled as fast he could down the hall, making Noah laugh. "Oh goodness hun, you have to see how funny this looks!" Noah said, laughing. "Roarrrrr" Michael said, causing Gabriel to screech even louder as his father suddenly appears from the bedroom, and scooped him up. Michael playfully growled as he lifted Gabriel, then nibbled at his belly playfully. This caused Gabriel to fall into a fit of laughter. Noah smiles from ear to ear as he watches his Alpha play with their son. "Sometimes you're not too bad! ... Ya know, being an Alpha jerk and all, sometimes you can be quite adorable!" Noah said, smirking at Michael when he glared at him. "Gee, thanks!" Michael said. "No problem, anytime babe!" Noah said, happily as if he just gave Michael the best complime
Third Person's POVHe whimpered as he hangs from the chains. His poor little body aches from the beating he last received. He can't even lift his head, he's just too weak.He hears the loud noises throughout the pack house. He hears screams and cries that seem to come from every direction. He hears growling and things breaking.His body trembles from the cold, pain, and fear. He has no idea what's going on, but the sounds are terrifying. He's never heard anything like this before.He whimpers again when he hears a loud bang coming from somewhere close by. The growling seems to be getting closer, and so do the screams and cries.It sounds like everyone's dying out there! Noah's so scared, his little body trembles even more as he hangs helplessly from the chains. He tries to lift his head, he manages to lift it a little and his eyes finally focus.He looks around, but all he can see is the dried blood on the ground below him.... his blood. There's so much of it, it's everywhere!He can't
Thaddeus's POV Two Betas going head to head. I watched as they grab each other, both trying to get the upper hand but it's quite obvious to me who's stronger. My beta, Xander. Xander smirks as the other Beta spins him around then slams him into the wall. Xander makes a strange sound as his body slams into the wall. I shake my head at this idiot of a brother. He's pretending to be hurt. He's having a little too much fun with this guy. He's letting him think he's stronger. Suddenly, Xander shrieks as the beta holds him by the throat while growling. Xander trembles, holding his hands up in surrender. "Please don't hurt me! I'm not very strong!" I watched the beta smile as he holds Xander by the throat. He pushes against my Beta then Xander arches an eyebrow at the Beta. The Beta growls again as he thrust his hips against him. "Oh dude, that's fucking gross!" Xander says before growling. He picks him up by the throat, then throws him across the room. Xander quickly wipes his pan
Thaddeus's POV I stand outside the pack house, holding Noah as we wait for the caravan. I looks around, watching Xander and his warriors interact with some of the members that are slowly creeping out of their homes. Not everyone here is bad. But most of them are. I can see some standing behind a tree while peeking out at us. I can tell they're curious, they know their Alpha is dead. They're trying to figure out whether we mean them harm or not... If we are here to save them, or their next nightmare. But amongst those are also the ones that we're unsure of. Unsure which side they are on. Are they good people? Were they just doing the job they were told to do because their Alpha told them to? Or did they agree with what was going on and participate in all the horrible acts? These are the warriors that we were fighting, The ones we didn't kill but surrendered. They are the ones that are now walking around and smiling as they walk up to us, and thank us for killing the Alpha. I wa
Noah's POV I felt myself slowly waking up, but yet I wasn't. I know this is a dream. I was waking up inside a dream. A dream I'm sure I've had before. Waking up.... Not hanging from chains or being tied to the bench. Waking up not cramped inside of my little cabinet.... But instead, waking up in an actual bed. I'm 11 years old.... My father handed me over to the alpha when I was five. I barely remember what a real bed feels like. Even my father took away my bed shortly before my 5th birthday. But yet sometimes, I still dream of a bed. I dream of waking up in a nice, soft, warm, comfortable and cozy bed. I know that sounds like a silly dream... But it's always been my dream. That and someone who won't hurt me. Someone who would actually care about me. But I don't dream of that very often, and I know none of this will actually happen. I hope I don't wake up. So I take advantage of this dream, of this moment and nuzzle my face into the soft fluffiness of this pillow, practicall
Thaddeus's POVThank goddess I have a great support system and I'm able to take some time off. I'm letting Xander and Marcus take over for a little while.... That is if Marcus doesn't try to kill Xander.Poor Marcus... Marcus has been the main focus of Xander's pranks and jokes.You would think the three of us were blood-related the way we bicker, fight but love each other like true blood brothers.I look over at this little sleeping form, the poor little guy passed out in the middle of a panic attack.I brought in some extra blankets and pillows so I can sleep on my chaise.I looked at him once more, it hurts my heart looking at him. His body is in such bad shape.The doctor came in while he was unconscious earlier. After he woke up nuzzling his pillow and blankets.The doctor came in to examine him while he was unconscious.He also hooked him up to an IV since he is extremely dehydrated. He also gave him a couple shots, some antibiotics to fight off the infection that he had on his b
Noah's POV I wake up to the smell of food. I wake up with my face buried in the pillow. I nuzzle into it for a moment before rolling over to see what I'm smelling. I roll over and the first thing I notice is I'm alone. That man isn't here anymore. I instantly remembered last night. He did things with the light, making little animals on the ceiling with the shadows. It was like magic! I've never seen anything like it. I was so mesmerized by it, my favorite was the bird. I've always loved birds. Many times, I've wished I could turn into a bird and fly away. The smell of the food brought me out of my thoughts. My nose flared as I tried to figure out where the smell was coming from. It didn't take me long to notice the tray sitting on the table next to me. I leaned over to look inside the bowl. It looks like soup of some sort. It smells amazing! There's also several bread rolls and orange juice sitting on the tray. My mouth instantly begins to water. I glanced around the room ag
Noah's POV"Hey little guy, wake up!"I hear the man's voice say and I Instantly startle awake. I whimper as I hold the blanket tight against me.Usually whenever I get woken up, it means something bad is going to happen.The alpha only ever woke me up when he came into the room to hurt me. Sometimes he wouldn't even wake me up to start. I would wake up to him doing it.My body trembled as my eyes filled with tears. I knew there was going to be a price to pay for that food."Hey calm down little one. I'm not going to hurt you. I just ran a bath for you and I actually don't know the last time you've even went to the bathroom.I thought I'd help you into the bathroom and into the tub."He said and I suddenly realized how full my bladder actually was.I was actually surprised, being that it's rare I actually get fed or given anything to drink, I hardly ever pee anymore.I look around, trying to figure out where I can go to the bathroom."Do you need a hand? I can carry you into the bathro
