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.
Aiden's POV I bite my lip as I nervously approach Thaddeus. Wanting to look at the lake and be near him, I sit down on the same side of the blanket next to Thaddeus, instead of across from him. I was also hoping if I wasn't sitting directly across from him, he wouldn't be able to see my neck if there was anything left of the mark. The t-shirt is doing a horrible job of covering the mark since the shirt sits below my collarbone and Eric's hand was wrapped around my throat just above it. I can only hope that I'm healing fast enough that he can't see it, or at least won't from this angle. It doesn't hurt anymore and doesn't feel like it's bruised. Maybe I got lucky and it's not noticeable anymore. I glance around and my stomach does the little flutter thing again. I can't believe he did all this for me! No one's ever done anything nice for me before, I thought to myself. I looked over at Thaddeus and noticed he was looking at me. "Y-you did all this for me?" I asked in a quiet voic
Aiden's POV I lay there looking at the sky when I felt his fingertips lightly brush against my cheek. I closed my eyes to relish in the little sparks that danced across my skin as his fingers glided across my face. I opened my eyes when I felt his finger brush across my lip. My eyes met his and my heart skipped a beat. I've never felt these feelings before, I've never had anybody look at me the way he does. The way he's looking at me right now with so much love and adoration. His eyes looked so deeply into me, it felt like he could see my soul. He looks down at my lip as he gently pulls it down and my heart begins to hammer in my chest. It felt like the world slowly came to a stop as I watched his face get closer to mine. I felt his lips on mine, I took a sharp breath in when I felt Thaddeus suck my lower lip into his mouth. He used that opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth. I never thought I would experience something so magical, a kiss! I felt his fingers lightly glid
Third Person's POV As they sat there with their foreheads resting against each other, Aiden suddenly remembered something he felt earlier. He remembered the liquid he felt that came from his backside. Aiden wanted to know about it, but he was too embarrassed and didn't know how to approach the subject. Thaddeus sensed the difference in Aiden and wasn't sure what it was. But somehow he felt there was something Aiden wanted to ask him. Thaddeus pulled back to look at Aiden, then ran the back of his fingers down Aiden's cheek. "What's going on in that mind of yours? You look like you want to ask me something." Aiden really wanted to know, and figuring it was now or never he took a breath before speaking. "There... there was this liquid..." Aiden said, then gave a long pause trying to get the strength to continue. "There was this liquid that came out of me, not my penis, but... my backside." Aiden said, feeling his face heat up. Aiden was quite certain he was as red as a tomato
