Third Person's POV Aiden was horrified when he saw Xander throw Abigail over his shoulders. Aiden thought Xander looked angry. 'Oh my goodness, what happened? What did she do wrong?' Aiden thought to himself. Aiden felt the panic rising, he didn't know how to help his sister. He was terrified that Xander was going to hurt his sister, or worse, kill her! The sound of a loud smack, made him think for certain Xander was definitely going to kill her! Aiden tried to think hard, desperately trying to think what he could possibly do to help the sister but became more panicked when he realized he was too small, too frail, and too weak. Thaddeus saw how scared Aiden was, he could almost feel Aiden's panic. Thaddeus reached over, gently grabbing Aiden's cheek and turning his head in his direction. Thaddeus cupped Aiden's cheek, lightly stroking it with his thumb, bringing Aiden's attention to his eyes. "It's okay, calm down. She's okay, he won't hurt her. They're just playing around, Xa
Aiden's POV I was so embarrassed, I knew everyone saw how clumsy I am. Before I could even pry myself off the ground , I suddenly felt strong hands, grip my waist and lift me off the ground before setting me on Thaddeus's lap. The movement was so sudden, I almost yelped, my hands flew out before wrapping around. Thaddeus to steady myself. I looked back at Thaddeus and My face felt like it was on fire. I knew for certain my face was bright red, judging by how hot it felt. I looked at Thaddeus, I watched an amused look spread across his face, probably from seeing the blush on my cheeks. That embarrassed me even more, so I quickly pressed my face against his chest to hide, wanting to disappear. I felt Thaddeus kiss the top of my head, and my heart skipped a beat... ' Did he just kiss me?' I wondered. For some reason that made me happy and I felt this warmth spread through my chest. No one's ever given me affection before. No one's ever hugged me, let alone kissed me. The only thing
Third Person's POV Thaddeus sat in his office, with Xander sitting across from him as they waited for Aiden and Abigail to join them. Thaddeus decided it was finally time to get some answers and find out whatever he can about their past, how they got separated, and what happened to Aiden while he was at his old Alpha's pack. They stopped talking and looked towards the door when it suddenly opened and Abigail walked in, dragging Aiden with her. Abigail lets go of Aiden's hand and then walks to Xander, sitting down in the chair next to him. He quickly grabs and yanks her towards him, making sure the chairs are flush together, then reaches over and takes her hand into his. Aiden stood near the door looking nervous as he looked around. Thaddeus could tell he was trying to figure out what he should do and where he should sit. When he finally glanced up, Thaddeus motioned him forward with his finger. Aiden began walking toward Thaddeus, walking around the desk, then stopping just at
Third Person's POV As Abigail talked, Aiden seemed to zone out. Thaddeus saw this and thought maybe it was a lot for him to take in. He tried to comfort Aiden, by gently rubbing his back, rubbing soothing circles but it seemed to do nothing. Aiden sat there, quiet, staring off at nothing while he listened to Abigail speak. But as Aiden sat there he listened to what his sister said. It was hard for Aiden to hear what happened to his people, his family, and his parents. His heart broke hearing what happened. As she spoke he could almost picture the scene unfolding as if he was there. He was almost glad he didn't have any memory of his family because he knew if he did it would hurt that much more. After Abigail stopped talking, Aiden finally seemed to snap out of it. He slowly turned his head to look at his sister and spoke in a quiet voice " W-why don't I r-remember any of this?... W-why don't I remember you?" "I don't know," Abigail said in a soft voice, looking at her brothe
Thaddeus POV Listening to Aiden tell us what that bastard did to him, it took everything in me to contain my wolf. I'm pretty sure if Aiden wasn't sitting in my lap, I would have shifted and taken off to find that piece of shit, and tear him apart. Zeus wanted out, he wanted blood and so did I! But hearing Aiden's cries finally snapped me out of it. I instantly looked at him and my heart broke even more. Aiden was sobbing uncontrollably and he was terrified. After turning him to face me, I wrapped my arms around Aiden, pulling him against my chest and burying my face in his neck. I took several deep breaths, taking in his scent to calm myself and my wolf. I didn't realize until I felt his thumb brush my face, that I was crying. I squeezed him tighter. Without lifting my head, I glanced up. Xander was sitting on the floor in the corner holding Abigail, who was crying. I'm definitely going to need two new chairs now... When Aiden finished telling us what that bastard did to hi
Aiden's POV A date!!! ... I never thought I would ever get to go on a date. I was always told no one would ever want me. I wasn't good enough to have a mate, but here I am... Getting ready to go on my first date with MY mate! I am so excited and nervous. 'Oh my gosh, what do I even wear?' I wondered as I stood in the closet looking around, trying to figure out what in the world to even wear... I actually have clothes now! A few days after I woke up from my injuries, Thaddeus had someone go buy me a whole bunch of new clothes. It took me a little bit to get used to it. I'm actually still not used to having clothes, and nice new ones at that. Not old worn out clothes that I found in the garbage. Everything I look at is new and actually fits me instead of having to be kept up by string or cut so it doesn't hang down to my knees. I finally decided on a nice pair of dark-washed jeans and a simple black button down that I'll roll the sleeves up on. A button-down, can you believe that?
Xander's POV I couldn't believe they treated our Luna like that. I already knew Aiden's Alpha hurt him, but hearing the details, and how he was forced to live, was hard. I don't know what was worse, hearing that part of the story, or the part where that sick fuck sexually assaulted him! I've never hated someone as much as I do right now. I've never wanted to kill someone as badly as I do right now. But I can't think of that right now. I knew I needed to push my thoughts aside when I heard the heartbreaking cries that were coming from my little mate. Hearing her cry breaks my heart. I thought as I carried her up to our room. Her arms wrapped around me, with her face buried in my neck. I could feel her breath fanning my neck with each deep breath she took, taking my scent in to try and calm down. I held her tight, pressing kisses to her head as I walked down the hall and opened my door. Once back in my room, I sat down on the couch, adjusting her in my lap so she was straddling me,
Aiden's POV I came down the stairs and found Thaddeus waiting by the door. He had on black washed jeans with holes around the knees and one high on his thigh near his pocket. He was wearing a black fitted t-shirt that hugged his muscles. His biceps were bulging against his sleeves so badly, I thought if he flexed his shirt would tear. I couldn't help but look at his muscles. I could see the rise and fall of each muscle from here. The shirt left absolutely nothing to the imagination. It was almost as if he wasn't wearing a shirt, I thought as my eyes easily found the large peak of his chest muscles. I found myself wanting to touch them, maybe even run my tongue over them. That last thought shocked me, and I snapped out of it. It felt like I was drooling. I wiped my mouth to see if there was actually drool there, my face heated up when I actually felt a little wetness on the corner of my mouth. I think he caught me checking him out since he had a smirk on his face as he looked at me.
