Claudius's POV Colton holds me up as I rinse my mouth out, and Dominic flushes the toilet so I don't have to see my vomit. I hold onto Colton as I turn toward my room and he leans down and lifts me into his arms. I look out the small window as we walk past, and realize it's been a while since I felt the warm summer air. "Can you take me outside? I want to sit on the porch swing and get some fresh air before the storm comes." I said, seeing the storm clouds in the distance. "Of course!" Colton said, smiling at me. .... I take a deep breath, taking in the beautiful summer air, and the storm that's coming. It's still a ways away, but I can smell it. I can smell the rain, and it smells wonderful! I slowly rock myself on the porch swing, looking out at the beautiful green grass, and watching the trees sway in the wind. For some reason, the rain reminds me of home, and I find myself wondering what everyone is doing at home. How is the Alpha? How is Noah? Has he found love yet? Is
Third Person's POV Colton raced out of Claudius's bedroom and barged into Dominic's room, causing Dominic to stumble back. Colton raced through his room, flinging the patio door open, and leaping off the balcony. Colton wasted no time shifting. He was on all fours as he touched the ground. The sound of Nexus' paws thundered, as they hit the ground. The earth under Nexus' paws was always so relaxing, but this time, It's anything but. Nexus' heart ponds in his chest as he races towards the enemy. It's been a while since they've been under attack. It's been a while since they've seen any rogues in their territory. The rain poured down as he raced towards the enemies. "Jonathan, how many are there?" "I... I'm not exactly sure." "What the fuck does that mean?" "Well, so far I only see one, and it's hiding in a bush and won't come out. But it's okay, we have him surrounded." Colton didn't even bother responding, he was annoyed at this point. He thought they were under attack
Colton's POV He seemed frozen in the same shocked state, staring at me the entire time I ran back to the pack house. It wasn't until I was walking up the stairs, and entered the front door that he seemed to finally snap out of it. He began frantically looking around, looking at everything as though it would somehow get him. Mary Ellen walked out of the bathroom near the stairs, and my adorable little mate immediately hissed at her and began swatting at her, even though she was a few feet away. She took a step back, startled, placing her hand over her chest. Her face almost immediately softened and a smile spreads across her face. "Oh my goodness, he's absolutely adorable! I didn't know there were any still alive! At least not in our area." She said and ignored the threatening hisses as she approached us. "Get him bandaged up and I'll bring some soup up. I have some leftover creamy seafood chowder from dinner yesterday. I'll warm some up and bring it up myself." My little mate l
Little Cheetah's POV I watched as he walked out of the room to answer the door. After a few moments, I quickly pulled the sweatpants on. I've never been embarrassed to be naked before. But for some reason, I am around him. I frowned at the sweatpants once I had them on. It was like sticking a twig inside a pair of pants. They were massive on me. I grabbed the strings and pulled them as tight as I could, but it did no good. It's simply bunched up until I couldn't pull it any tighter. I growled at the stupid pants and tied them. I looked down at my legs and frowned, realizing how incredibly baggy they were. If they didn't have the elastic at the ankle, they would be hanging way past my feet. I'm short, but that's how cheetah shifters are. Especially Omega cheetah shifters like myself. I'm a whole whopping 5'5, and that darn wolf that carried me was a monster! He's incredibly tall, but not as tall as that stupid Alpha. I shivered at the thought of the Alpha. Alphas scare me. They
Timothy's POV His hands caressed my back as I tried to hide my face in his neck. With my face in his neck, his incredible scent was much stronger. I took a deep breath in, and my eyes practically rolled in the back of my head. My goodness he smells so good! I thought to myself as I pressed my nose against his neck. His body stiffened as I moved my nose lower, sniffing him until I found his scent gland, and pressed my nose against it. I felt my chest vibrate, as I instantly began purring while breathing in his scent. I quickly lost myself as his scent wrapped around me like a blanket. My hands gripped his shirt before wrapping around him, pulling myself closer to him. He feels so comfortable, like home! I feel my body relaxing against him and I smile with my eyes closed, as I breathe him in. I hope he doesn't mind that I practically plastered myself to him, and had my face pressed into his neck. Just when I began to feel nervous that he might not like it, I feel his arms tighten aro
Timothy's POV After tempting to lick another bowl dry, I growled and pouted as my mate took the bowl away. I don't get why he won't let me lick the bowl. I wondered, then growled at the door where he went to the bathroom. After a few minutes, he came back out and began digging in the wooden thing. I watched as he pulled some clothes out of it, and that's when I realized what it was. That's one of those dressers that I saw in the book my Papa had. I felt sad as I thought of my Papa, remembering how things were when I was younger. For a short while we had something that we considered home. It was a cave, but it was home, and we had a few things there. One day my Papa brought home a handful of books. He sat down and read every one of them to me that night. Every night he read to me. When we had to leave, we brought the books with us. That's how I learned about all the things most people have. Things that my people used to have, but no longer do. Now we have to live in the woods an
Third Person's POV Dominic held Claudius up as he rinsed his mouth, before splashing cold water on his face. "Hang on to the counter so I can flush the toilet," Dominic said, wanting to flush his vomit, before it makes Claudius throw up again. Claudius dries his face, before turning and reaching up for Dominick's neck. Dominic leans down, scooping his Luna into his arms, bridal style. Claudius lays his head on his chest and closes his eyes. "Are you sure you're okay to go? We can do it another night if you're not feeling up to it." Dominic asked, seeing how weak Claudius is today, especially after throwing up the soup he had just recently eaten. It was the only thing Dominic has been able to get Claudius to eat all day. "Yes, I want to go. I really want to meet his mate. I've never met a cat shifter before, I'm so excited!" He said, feeling some energy coming back at the thought of meeting the cheetah shifter. .... Colton was hesitant to move forward with movie night, since thi
Third Person's POV Alpha Hughes pushes the food around on his plate and then glances at the empty chair to his left. Sometimes he feels like moving the chair altogether. Every time he looks at it, his heart pangs. He hates that stupid chair! His eyes go to that little table in the back left corner, and his chest aches even more. He misses seeing Claudius in the dining room. It's been so long since he's seen him here. He knows why Claudius stopped coming. He felt his eyes on him the moment he entered the dining room. Almost the entire time he was there, he felt Claudius's eyes on him, from that little table in the back left corner. It was so hard not to look at him when everything in him was begging him to. He could feel Claudius's eyes begging him to look his way, just once. He could also feel his mate's heart breaking, when not once did he look his way. The few times he did glance his way, his heart broke when he saw how broken his mate was. He knows this is the reason he
