Third Person's POV
He 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 even feel his hands anymore, he has no idea how long he's even been hanging here. But it's definitely been a long time, probably close to a week if not longer.
He cries out when he hears a loud bang coming from just on the other side of the wall. The room next to the Alphas, the Beta's room.
He tries to lift his head again when he hears voices close by, but it's no use, he just doesn't have the energy. He doesn't have the strength to even lift his head.
He is finally able to slightly turn his head, just enough to see his cabinet. He wishes so badly he was inside there right now. It's his safe spot, no one can see him when he's inside it.
That's his room, his bed. That's where he stays when the Alpha isn't hurting him. That's where he stays when he's not hanging by chains or strapped to the bench.
It's literally a cabinet, exactly what you would see in a bathroom, but without the sink on top. There are two doors, it's just big enough for him to curl up inside and lay down. The only thing he has to lie on the inside is a few torn pieces of clothing. Clothing that he once wore. That was until the Alpha ripped them off of him.
But it was better than nothing, it was better than laying on the bare hard cold wood.
He just knows if he was in there, whoever's here hurting everyone, wouldn't be able to find him. They would never think to look for him in there.
He wants to cry, but he doesn't even have the tears to cry. His body is too dry to even shed a tear.
Not only can he not remember the last time he's eaten, but he can't remember the last time he had even a single drop of water.
He whimpers and cries out when he hears the loud noises now coming from inside the Alpha's room. Just on the other side of the wall.
Noah's in the Alpha special room, a room that was made just for Noah. The Alpha likes to call it Noah's little torture room.
It's a little room he built right off of his room, just next to the bathroom.
He hears loud growlings coming from the Alpha's room. He hears things breaking and shattering.
Then, he suddenly hears it, he feels it..... He tries not to make a noise but he can't help it.
Whether he likes the Alpha or not, it's still his Alpha. And it's painful when your Alpha dies.
He cries out, screaming at the pain he feels as the Alpha dies.
"What the hell, where did that come from?" He hears one voice say.
"Shit, I don't know, check the bathroom." He heard another voice say, just on the other side of the wall, coming from inside the Alpha's room.
He hears the bathroom door open, the door right next to his.
He whimpers at the loud sound, his body trembles even more.
"Shhh. Did you hear that? It's coming from the other side of this wall." He hears one of them say.
They're looking for the door. It doesn't look like a normal door. As a matter of fact, if you don't know it's there, you won't even see it.
He hears banging, and he whimpers again, even though he doesn't want to make a sound. But he can't help it, the loud noises scare him.
"There has to be a door somewhere here... Wait, what's this?"
Noah whimpers again when he hears the click... They found it!
He cries out as they open the door. The blinding light flooded into the dark room.
"What the fuck is this?.... Holy shit!"
He hears one of them say as the other one gasp.
Noah's eyes are squeezed closed so tight. Hoping somehow if he closes them tight enough, they won't see him. But they do, they see him and they can't believe what they see.
"Oh goddess, what did that monster do!"

Thaddeus's POV
My men and I flood in, quickly invading the Dark Night pack. We quickly discover how horrible this Alpha really is.
Not just by the disgusting things that he does to his pack members. But the fact that these poor people don't even know how to fight. They can't even defend themselves!
We're taking them down with such ease, they're dropping left and right.
I would feel bad, but most of these men are bad, they're evil just like their Alpha. They like to hurt their Omega's, anyone smaller and weaker than them.
They don't even keep them inside, at least not the ones we've found so far. They're kept inside some sort of handmade wooden crate or cage.
They're completely exposed to all the elements. Rain, wind, storms, snow..... All of it, the roof isn't even solid, and neither are the walls. They've taken 2x4s, leaving a 4-in gap between each board. It's like that all the way around, even the top.
These poor omegas are kept in there as if their cattle or something. My heart breaks when I see them. I see the tears in Xander's eyes along with several of my warriors when they see them.
They're filthy, the ground is dirt, and by the smell and looks of it, their own waste. It doesn't look like they have a place to go to the bathroom. Not even a damn bucket!
They're so skinny, covered in wounds, some still bleeding, others scabbed over.
They cower into a corner as my men approach them. I watched Jameson kneel, I can tell he was crying, his shoulders shaking as he grabs onto the wood and peered in.
"I promise we're not going to hurt you, none of you! We're here to save you and get you out of here."
He says before he stands up. He growls as he rips the chain off. He opens the gate and then slowly walks in.
They immediately begin to whimper and cry out. Every one of them trembles, clinging to each other or wrapping their arms around their own body.
"Come here little one, I would never hurt you, never!" Jameson said.
I watch as the one he's trying to reach for looks at him with tears running down his face. But he also has another look on his face... Shock, almost as if he can't believe what he's looking at.
He flinches when Jameson touches him.
"I promise little mate, I would never hurt you!... Please, let me get you out of here!"
He said and my stomach dropped.
'Oh my Goddess, that's his mate! No wonder he's crying like that.' I thought to myself as I watch the heartbreaking scene in front of me.I watch as Jameson places his hands under the Omega's arms then slowly lifts him up and pulls his little body against him, wrapping his arms around the little Omega.
I watch as they both break down crying. The little Omega lays limp in his arms as he cries. Jameson pulls the Omega's head into his neck, then reaches down with his right arm, collecting his legs to carry him bridal style. He stands there for a moment as he holds him.
He finally turns around, walking out of that little makeshift cage. I finally get a good look at his mate and my heart breaks even more. He's covered in scars. I see bruises everywhere, the right side of his face is swollen and purple. The rest of his body is littered with cuts and filth.
"Take him home Jameson."
I say as I place a hand on his shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze before I move forward. I'm going to go find this fucker and kill him! I thought as I headed toward the packhouse with my Beta, Xander next to me.
I growl as I watch their warriors flood out of the packhouse.
I feel my claws extend as I race toward them.
So far, hardly anyone has had to shift, these fools are not trained in the least bit.
I grabbed the first idiot that lunges for me by the throat, my claws sinking into his neck as I grab him. His eyes go wide as I place my left hand against his chest. I pull back with my right hand that's wrapped around his throat and hear the disgusting sound of his throat being torn out.
I toss his body aside then swing my right arm out with my claws extended, and slice right through the guy, who thought he could go for my chest with his claws.
I watched the blood spray from his throat as I sliced into it. I turned, grabbing the next fool's hand. Again, this idiot thought he could go for my chest.
I watched his eyes go wide as I sunk my claws through his chest, my hand wrapping around his heart before ripping it out.
I continue to move through the group of enemies, taking them down with incredible ease until we finally make it inside, and secure the main entrance.
I know he won't be on the main floor, so I leave that level for my men. I send a group to the basement and then head up the stairs toward the first floor.
I need to make sure there are no more Omega's being hidden away somewhere in this hell hole.
As I got to the first floor, I looked down the hall. I don't think he's going to be on this floor either since all the doors are too close together, indicating smaller rooms for warriors.
I yelled for Keith to take his team through the first floor. They'll check every room, every closet, every bathroom, under every bed.
I take Xander, and the next two teams, then continue moving up, heading toward the second floor.
Again, all the doors are too close together, letting me know there's not an Alpha suit on this floor either.
I sent Roy and his team to take care of this floor, while I take Xander and the last team to the third floor.
We begin searching each room, breaking down each door that's locked.
I check each room with my men, once I see it's a normal room, I move on letting them take care of that room and search it.
Xander tears down a door and then hollers out for me. I quickly make my way into the room and see Xander and Alpha Nicholas's Beta going at it.
Two Betas going head to head.
.
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
Noah's POV I felt as he very carefully wiped my back, going around the bandages carefully. "I just linked the doctor, he should be here in a few minutes so we can change your bandages." He said as he reached forward and pulled the plug. He grabbed a towel then threw it over his shoulder, draping it across his front before reaching in and grabbing me. As soon as I was in his arms he wrapped the towel around me. "There, nice and clean!" He said with a smile on his face as he carried me back into the bedroom. I immediately noticed the sheets have been changed. I suppose it was needed, I was filthy. I suddenly felt a little embarrassed at the thought that I dirtied his sheets. "Here, Xander ran out and grabbed you some new clothes earlier. Can you put these on or do you need help?" He said as he handed me a stack of clothes. I looked at him for a moment before slowly reaching out. I took the clothes then brought them to my chest and began looking around. "Well if you need anythi
Thaddeus's POV Three... He woke up three times last night screaming and crying. I discovered the kid does have a voice. He was screaming, begging and pleading for that monster to stop hurting him. Scared the shit out of me! I thought someone was actually in here hurting him. The last time I heard his bloody screams, Zeus shifted instantly, putting a tear right in the middle of my chaise. Stupid mutt! I love that damn thing! Zeus shifted, growling as he frantically searched for the intruder. As soon as he discovered there was no one here, he jumped on the bed, then began licking his face. He woke up instantly. Once he realized where he was, he wrapped his little arms around Zeus's neck, burying his face in his fur as he broke down crying. His little body trembled, his shoulders shook as he cried so hard. I felt Zeus's chest rumble as he began to croon The little boy calmed down almost instantly. His cries turned to little hiccups, those hiccups turned to little sniffles. When h
