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, practically rolling around and enjoying the comfort of this amazing bed while I can.
This must be a cloud! I've never laid on anything like this in my entire life!
And I'm warm, I'm not cold! For the first time in my entire life. It feels like I'm actually warm!
My goddess yes, this is most definitely a dream!
I think as a nuzzle into something so soft, so fluffy. I think this is what they call a pillow. I remember that word, although it sounds so distant, it's been so long.
But I don't care, I'm going to take in every ounce of this dream. I'm going to cherish it forever I thought as a nuzzled my face deeper into the pillow.
I feel myself beginning to move around, almost rolling as I squirm around and push myself into the fluffiness. Grabbing the fluffy blanket around me, pulling it against my face and rubbing against it.
I feel myself smiling, my Goddess, this is pure heaven! I never want to wake up from this dream! I thought to myself while I bury my face into everything that I can possibly burying myself into!
But I suddenly freeze, I hear someone laughing, it's a soft light laughter, I suppose more like a chuckle.
But they're not supposed to be in my wonderful dream of this fluffiness and warmth. No one's normally in these type of dreams.
So I feel myself freeze, not moving... Holding my breath!
I feel someone touched the back of my head and I yell. My body tenses up and I begin to tremble. Their hand retracts.
"I'm so sorry little one, I didn't mean to frighten you. You just looks so adorable rolling around in the bed."
I slowly open my eyes, feeling my face still pressed into the fluffy pillow.
I slowly turned my head, very, very slowly. Turning my head toward the voice.... Hoping that when I turn my head, there was actually no one there. Because after all, this is my dream... No one's supposed to be here!
Unfortunately, as soon as I turn my head far enough I see him. The man sitting on the bed next to me. His body full of tattoos!
His hair is long, past his shoulder. And all that facial hair, he looks so scary!
I feel myself tremble as soon as I look at him. Quickly, I'm realizing this is not dreaming.
Where am I?... Why am I laying in a bed?
Is this his thing too?... Oh goddess, He's going to use his command on me....
He has me in his bed, he's going to use his Alpha command on me so I can't move. Then he's going to rape me just like my Alpha did.
I whimper, the tears run down my face knowing what's coming. This was a sick joke! He was teasing me. Showing me what everyone else has. Showing me what I don't have, but they do.
Something warm and soft to sleep on.
I close my eyes, squeezing them closed so tight. Hoping that maybe this time if my eyes are close tight enough, I won't feel it.
I feel his hand on my shoulder and I scream. I practically fly out of the bed as I jump almost clear across the bed. I grabbed onto the sheets as I try not to fall out of the bed.
Knowing that if I actually fell I would be hurt bad.
I know that sounds silly, but I'm 11 years old and I'm sure I weigh as much as a 4-year-old werewolf.
They hardly feed me, so many of my bones have been broken over and over again. I'm constantly beaten, whipped, tortured, and raped.
A simple little fall off the bed can do so much harm and so much damage to my frail little body. So I hold on for dear life. But I don't have the strength, I feel my butt hanging off the bed but I don't have the strength to even hold on. I cry out as I lose my grip and fall.
Knowing excruciating pain is going to come when I hit. Knowing I'm going to feel bones break when I hit the floor. Because that's what always happens. Little falls like this always breaks my bones... So I brace for it, ready to cry out.
But instead of the hard ground, I feel arms around me, scooping me up before I hit the ground.
My eyes shoot open as I look around trying to figure out what happened. And then I see him looking at me.
I begin to cry, I tried to squirm out of his arms. I normally wouldn't do this, but he hasn't known me. So I'm hoping that if I squirm out of his arms, he might leave me alone. Maybe he won't hurt me. Maybe he won't rape me.
"Hey little guy, calm down! I'm not going to hurt you!"
I hear him say, but I don't believe him. I can see him and I can smell him... He's an Alpha! And all Alpha's lie.
Alphas are mean, they lie and they hurt you. Then after they've hurt you, they hurt you more. They rape, beat and torture you until there's nothing left. And even then, once there's nothing left of you. They somehow managed to take more. They somehow managed to hurt you even more.
I can't breathe as I struggle against him. I know it's coming.
I feel myself panicking, my hart feels like it's pounding out of my chest. My lungs burn as I struggle to breathe. But every breath seems so empty, I'm just not getting any air.
He called these my stupid little panic attacks. He normally hurts me even more during them.
He takes full advantage of my panic attacks and hurts me as bad as he can until I pass out. I usually hear him laughing during them. He finds them funny, but I always feel like I'm dying during them.
That alone makes me panic even more.
But I suddenly feel a strange sensation.... It's rough... It's some sort of vibration. I can even hear it!
Yes, it's definitely a vibration. I feel myself focusing on it. Trying to figure out exactly what it is I'm hearing.
And as I'm doing so, I feel my lungs finally filling with air. I take a deep breath in, it's so loud as I fill my lungs.
I exhale before taking another large breath in. I feel the air, I'm able to breathe!
"That's it little one, breathe little brother!"
I heard him say. But I knew I imagine that. He's not my brother!... He's an Alpha!
Just when I was finally able to breathe, I felt myself panicking again.
Alpha!.... I begin thrashing around, desperately trying to get away from him. Trying to get away from the Alpha that's holding me. I know he's going to hurt me, I can't breathe, I can't bre.....

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
Thaddeus's POV This little guy has been here for 5 days now.... 5 days and I still can't get him to talk to me! But each day I feel like he's opening up a little more to me. He hardly flinches when I reach for him, although he still does but not as bad. Everyday we have movie time, and at night we do shadow puppets with the flashlight. That little thing really loves his birds that's for sure! And what he loves more than birds is Zeus! When he's tired, he'll pull on my shirt then point at my chest. It took me a while to understand what he wanted the first time he did it. It was actually quite cute, he was getting angry because I didn't understand what he wanted. He even growled at me but yet still refused to use his words. Oh my Goddess, I wish you guys could have heard that growl. The cutest little growl I've ever heard. It wasn't loud, or a full growl. I could definitely tell he was trying to suppress it, trying to make it quiet. But I still heard it. He gave me an angry
Thaddeus's POVEvery night He still has nightmares throughout the night. Not just one, usually 2 or 3.But last night I learned something new.I fell asleep on my chaise last night while reading a book.It was actually the first time in several nights that I slept on the chaise.The last several nights Zeus wanted to sleep with the little boy so I allowed him. We'd shift then lay down with him. The little guy would curl up with him, wrapping his little arms around him and burying his face into his fur.That's how we slept the last several nights with the exception of last night.Last night he actually fell asleep while I was working on the laptop. After I was done, I laid on the chaise to read a book and fell asleep.I woke up to him screaming bloody murder. He was having a nightmare, he was soaking wet from sweating.He was thrashing around as he screamed and cried. Begging that monster to stop hurting him.He actually made me nervous, I had a hard time waking him up.But after he wok
Thaddeus's POVI growl as I pace my office. It's taking everything I have to hold Zeus back. He wants to tear everything apart.He wants to shift and run to find this asshole that's threatening us.I was given word late last night which is one of the reasons I stayed up on my laptop... I was given word that one of my warriors was patrolling at that dead assholes pack and he came up missing.Well, we just found him an hour ago.A van threw him out the back with a note attached to his body.His head was chucked out moments later.Apparently Nicholas has a brother and that asshole wants all the omegas back, and he specifically wants the "Alpha's little pet" back... That's what he called him.I know exactly who he's referring to and he's not getting that little boy!He made specific references to him. He knows this boy, he identified him down to the birthmark that's high up on the inside of his thigh. An area no grown man should know that's even there! I mean, aside from his own parents.T
