Maverick's POV My jaw ticks as the asshole smirks, taking his sweet time to make his move. His smirk deepens as he folds his arms over his chest. I fight the urge to reach across the table and knock the smirk off his face. “Check.”I growl, my eyes snapping down to the board. My fingers squeeze the edge of the table so hard the wood groans under my grip.“What's wrong, Mav?” Coal asks, his voice dripping with amusement.“If you don't shut up, I am going to throw you through a wall.”“Didn't you say you were going to whoop my ass this time? What happened?”“It's kind of hard to fucking focus when the backyard is overrun by Andersons!” I snap, gesturing wildly toward the yard. “Your family is loud! They're like a bunch of wild animals. Seriously, it's like a zoo out here.”Coal lets out a loud snort. I glare at the board one last time and angrily slam my piece down into a new square.The sharp sound of Omega's screeching has our heads snapping up. Joey walks out the back door with Tat
EJ’s POV It's been months since Ollie's nightmare ended, and he finally smiles the way he used to. Almost the way my bubbly Omega used to smile every time I saw his beautiful face.It's been months since he finally let go of the nightmare he had to endure. I know I’m still only touching the tip of the iceberg for how deep his mental wounds run, but they are healing. He is healing. And I am helping in every way I can. I am at his beck and call, and every moment he has needed me, I am there as quickly as I can be.I see it every day. My beautiful little prince is healing a little each day. And each day, I get a little more of that happy Omega back who couldn't wait to climb his mountain of a man… Their growls are supposed to sound fierce, I'm sure, but they are anything but that. They are… oh, hell! Who am I kidding? They are beyond adorable.Two Omegas and the Delta are currently tumbling in a wild pile of fierce adorableness. I couldn't possibly be more entertained, waiting to see w
Maverick's POV I don't know much about Alpha-Beta relationship dynamics, but I know a murder attempt when I see one.Chunks of grass fly up from Xavier's heels as he runs across the grass for his life. Damian is hot on his heels, looking less like a pregnant Beta and more like a hell-bent demon seeking vengeance. The entire party freezes to a halt as they watch the chaos, which disappears when Xavier darts into the tree line with Damian right behind him.Remind me never to let an angel touch my stomach. Or my brain. Or look in my general direction, I think to myself, rubbing the bridge of my nose. I turn away from the trees and scan the yard for the closest cooler so I can grab a beer. However, my attention is drawn right back to the woods when I hear Damian's furious voice getting closer. When I turn around, I am shocked to see Xavier burst from the tree line. His shirt is nearly torn entirely from his body, and the missing chunks of fabric are tightly fisted in Damian's hands.“G
Maverick's POV The Angel's face softened, and he seemed to walk lighter as he led me toward his Omega son. The Omega kept his toes planted in the grass and lightly swayed the swing back and forth while staring at the ground, paying no attention to the party going on around him. Cassian lifted his head as we approached, and I gasped. His eyes were startling, the most unique shade of blue I've ever seen. The blue is so light they're nearly white. A small smile tugs at Cassian’s lips when he sees his dad, but it quickly disappears when he looks past him and finds me. His lips parted as he quietly sucked a breath in. His wings quickly appear. Feathers that looked delicate and incredibly soft, but could become as hard as steel with a breath. They spanned out to each side, reaching past the ropes that connected to the swing, on each side of his shoulders.He's the definition of ethereal.If he's this beautiful, his sister must have been too, and I'm sure that's where my pretty little ang
Maverick's POV I've never seen this many people visit the pack. Everyone seems to be here, and all the attention is on me. I don't like it. I don't like the attention. I'm used to being alone. I'm used to everyone being afraid of me. I'm not used to so many people knowing about Shade, and I'm definitely not used to so many people excited to meet him, or excited that I'm here. I feel their eyes on me constantly; I can't get away from their stares. The ones with enough guts approach me, and the ones with almost enough guts linger close by, and gawk. It's annoying. I don't like it. “Maverick, my man!” A hand slapped down on my shoulder, and I stiffened. I looked down at the hand, raised a brow, then slowly turned my head and looked at Maddox. The Alpha simply flashed me a smile. Why are the Andersons so… Happy... All the time?! “That's an impressive hound! What kind of abilities do you have?” His eyes held curiosity, his grin held nothing but mischief. “Hm?” He wiggle
Maverick's POV The stage groans under the weight of Shade’s true form. He stands at his full height, eye to eye with Grayson. The king's lips twitch, tugging up into a smirk before stepping forward and approaching Shade. “I'm sorry for electrocuting you,” Grayson said, and Shade huffed a breath out through his nose, blowing Grayson's hair back. My hound is still a little resentful for being electrocuted, and I'm not particularly proud that I mumbled “mama” just before I passed out. “Go. Let them see they're safe with you.” Grayson nudges his chin toward the crowd before turning to face them.“See for yourself. Shade will not hurt you.” Grayson said just before Shade stepped off the front of the stage. The crowd moved back further, but Shade didn't move once he stepped off the stage. He waited for Grayson to calm the people further. The fear in their eyes said they'd run if he attempted to walk any closer.“Don't be afraid. I give you my word, you're safe with him. Shade is going t
Third Person's POV Thaddeus chose their spot, a snuggle chair in the second row. He lifted the blanket and opened his arms when his Omega approached. His beautiful blue eyes sparkled, even in the darkness. Aiden crawled into his Alpha's lap and snuggled in against his chest. Thaddeus' fingers press
Kyle's POV I'm surprised I was able to focus with Kevin around. It was only when I had to look at him that I became a fumbling mess. It also didn't help in the least bit when he spoke. His voice was so smooth and just the right tone. It wasn't soft, but it wasn't deep, it was perfect! It sent a shi
Third Person's POV “Has anyone ever told you you smell weird?” The annoying thing in the seat behind Maverick asked. The Omega in the seat behind Maverick hasn't stopped talking since the moment they pulled away from the pack house. He began to regret begging to go with Coal. What made it worse wa
Third Person's POV “I don't know, what if it doesn't work? It's going to make it worse. You'll hurt him even more,” Asher said as he dragged his hand down his face and began pacing. “If it fails, I'll take full responsibility, but I don't think it will. I know he's in there. I just know it!” Micha
