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
** Trigger warning, rape an abuse mentioned briefly in this chapter. **Thaddeus's POVI walk into the room with a smile on my face but it instantly drops when I don't see him in bed. I quickly shut the door then ran around the bed, thinking maybe he fell on the floor.I dropped the ground and looked under it when I didn't see him anywhere... Nothing!I run into the bathroom, nothing!I feel myself begin to panic, my heart's beating out of my chest. Zeus is going crazy as he paces back and forth in my head.I just so happened to finally smell fresh air, as it blew in my face. I quickly looked toward the door and my stomach dropped again."Oh Goddess, no!"I said as I quickly ran out the door, quickly running to the balcony and looking over.I felt panicked even more, I pushed the link open to alert patrol. Terrified somebody broke in and took him.As I push the link open I turn around and instantly close the link.I let out the biggest breath as I felt relief flood me. Moments later I
Thaddeus's POV"Come on, you can do it! I'm not letting you give up! We have one more set to go."I said as I grabbed his leg and brought it to my shoulder."Okay, I want you to give it your all. I'm pushing against you harder this time."I said as I leaned forward, putting more weight against his leg.He struggled against me. His legs are still very weak, but they're getting better. He's getting stronger little by little.His body is still so tiny, he's so severely underweight."That's it, good job!"I said as I set his leg down then reached over and grabbed his left ankle, lifting his leg and placing his foot against my right shoulder.He began pouting and tried to pull his foot away. This is his way of telling me that he's done and doesn't want to do this anymore."Noah! We have one more leg, don't give me that!"I said as I placed his foot firmly against my shoulder again. He gave me an angry look as he growled at me before pushing back against my shoulder as hard as he could, whe
Thaddeus's POVI had just finished sitting Noah in the chair on the balcony when Xander walked out with the tray of food.I was so excited to introduce steak to Noah. I had Xander go to the human town earlier today to grab a bunch of steaks. There's a butcher I usually buy my steaks from, he has the best meat. So I had him go there and grab Filet mignon.I thought since I'm introducing him to steak, I might as well introduce him to the finest.I feel the biggest smile spread across my face when I watch his little nose flare as soon as he catches the scent of those steaks.Bless Grace's heart, she grilled those for us. She also made her famous garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed green beans and corn, just in case he doesn't like the beans.And of course, her fresh baked dinner rolls that he seems to like. Thank goodness I finally managed convinced him not to store those under his pillow anymore.The first time I found one I was confused. I found a squashed partially eaten dinner roll tucked
Thaddeus's POV Michael was quiet as he listened to me tell him what's going on.Alpha Michael is a really good friend. I have known him almost my whole life. Michael, Asher and I were best friends growing up. Of course, along with our betas and third in commands.Michael's pack borders our territory from the North end of our territory, all the way to the West side of our territory.His territory ends just before the river begins on the west side of our territory.And with Alpha Anthony's pack being 2 hours Northwest of his. And the possibility that they may take his pack as a shortcut to ours, I have to let him know.His pack is smaller, I've been working on strengthening that pack for a while now.They're getting there, but they're not there just yet."Well that explains it then." Michael said."Explains what?""We've been seeing what looks to be scouts around the whole Northwest part of my territory. Also along the whole West portion of our territory.I haven't seen anything near th
