Third Person's POV Colton knew Claudius had been busy the past week. He knew Dominic had spent a lot of time with Claudius, taking him into the human town to get away from everything. That worked out great for Colton since he just found his mate. It gave him a chance to get to know Timothy without feeling guilty for neglecting Claudius. Colton smiled when he looked at his sleeping little kitten, with his tail tucked under his chin, and smiled. He couldn't get over how cute and adorable his little mate is. Once he was certain his little kitten was still sleeping, Colton slipped away and ran downstairs. He was eager to find out why Claudius brought a human home, and why in the world the Alpha carried them both away. For a moment, Colton thought for certain the Alpha was going to throw them in the dungeon. But instead, the Alpha surprised Colton when he carried them into the pack house instead. Dominic was useless, he refused to tell Colton what was going on with the human. He said
Third Person's POVClaudius was so excited, but so nervous at the same time as Ethan carried him down the stairs for breakfast.Claudius was excited because he would finally get to sit in the dining room with someone. He wouldn't have to sit at a table and eat alone. He was excited to show off his mate. He wanted the world to see him!But he was scared at the same time. After all, Ethan's human, and they're werewolves, and he's inside their packhouse. He's afraid of everyone's reaction. What if someone tries to hurt him? Claudius knows he's too weak, and couldn't protect him. As they reach the last flight of stairs, Claudius could tell Ethan's not as strong as they are, and carrying him isn't easy. Claudius hated the fact he could no longer walk up and down the stairs. He was thankful when they reached the bottom, and his mate didn't have to carry him anymore."Thank you for carrying me," Claudius said, guilt lacing his voice as he looked down.Ethan's fingers gently gripped his chin
Third Person's POV Ethan looks around as they step onto the porch. When they arrived last night, it was dark and he could barely see anything. Ethan was shocked, the place is massive. It's like its own little town. Ethan holds Claudius's hand as they walk to the car. After opening the door, Ethan reaches in and pulls his bag out. The bag that was left behind after being carried away by the Alpha so suddenly last night. "Do you want to sit on the porch swing for a little while?" Claudius asked, and Ethan flashed him a smile. "Sure!" Ethan said, swinging the backpack over his shoulder as they walked back toward the pack house. Just before they reached the stairs, Ethan just about jumped into Claudius's arms when a massive wolf came running out of the tree line. "Holy shit!" Ethan yelled, grabbing onto Claudius with both hands. Claudius's arms wrapped around Ethan, as Colton laughs from the porch. "What the hell is that?!" "That's just one of the warriors coming back from patr
Third Person's POV"No, with mates, there's a strong pull. The mate bond tries to pull mates together. Their mind might want one thing, but their body wants something else, their mate. One minute I was sleeping, the next I was awake. My head was so cloudy from the mark, that I wasn't thinking straight. Once I felt his tongue against my lips, I snapped out of it. That's when I stopped him."Claudius said as he leaned back against Ethan, under a tree. Claudius absent-mindedly played with Ethan's fingers that rested in his lap. As Claudius played with the fingers of Ethan's right hand, Ethan's left hand ran soothingly through Claudius's hair. Claudius closed his eyes, leaning his head back against Ethan's shoulder. Enjoying the warmth of his mate, his soothing touch, and the wonderful summer breeze.Ethan leaned his head back against the tree, taking in everything Claudius said, and everything he witnessed not that long ago.He still feels horrible. Ethan could have sworn Claudius was a
Third Person's POV Atlas lowered his body to the ground, and Claudius ran his hands along his back. Letting his fingers run through his fur before swinging his leg over the large wolf, and sitting on his back. Claudius reached his hand out and helped Ethan onto Atlas' back. "Oh my God, this is so freaking cool!" Ethan said, and Claudius chuckled. "Try to keep your chest pressed against my back, and lean with me when I lean, so it doesn't throw him off. Just hang onto me. He won't let us fall." Claudius said, and Ethan wrapped his arms around Claudius's waist. Atlas's heart swelled hearing the confidence Claudius had in him. Atlas stood to his feet, and Ethan held on tighter. Claudius leaned forward, holding onto Atlas's fur as he began to move. Ethan pressed his face into Claudius's back, squeezing him as tight as he could as Atlas picked up speed. The trees whipped by as they raced through the woods. Claudius had a smile beaming on his face. He loved the feeling of the powe
Third Person's POV As Ethan held Claudius, Claudius looked up and saw how defeated Hughes looked. Claudius is quite certain he never saw his Alpha look so sad and so broken. The Alpha sat there on his knees. His head hung low, and his shoulder slumped with tears drying on his face. He looked like a man who had just given up on life, and it broke Claudius's heart. Claudius pulled back from the hug. He pressed a kiss to Ethan's lips before standing and walking around him. Claudius knelt in front of Hughes and lifted his head. Claudius's heart broke more when the Alpha's sad eyes met his. "I'm sorry Claudius!" Hughes said, and Claudius moved forward, crawling into his lap and wrapping his arms around Hughes' neck. Hughes' eyes slowly closed as he wrapped his arms around Claudius. He slowly dropped his face to Claudius's neck, pressing his nose against his skin and taking a deep breath in. Claudius pressed his nose against Hughes' neck, his face nuzzling against him as he searche
Third Person's POV Unable to leave Claudius and go home last night, Ethan wakes up with Claudius, their bodies tangled with one another. Ethan lightly trails his fingers along Claudius's back, and Claudius hums as he slowly wakes. His body slowly begins to move, and he presses his face into Ethan's neck. A smile stretches from ear to ear on Ethan's face when he hears the beautiful little sound of Claudius' purr. He felt the rumble against his chest, and he squeezed Claudius a little tighter while pressing a kiss to his head. "That sounds so cool! I didn't know you could make that sound." Ethan said, and Claudius instantly stopped purring. Claudius hid his face in Ethan's neck, embarrassed he was purring, and Ethan pointed it out. Ethan sensed a change in Claudius, and pulled his face back to look at him. Ethan was surprised when Claudius wouldn't look at him. Instead, he looked down and looked sad. "Hun, what's wrong?" "Nothing," Claudius said, still unable to look at Ethan.
Third Person's POV The phone slipped from Hughes's fingers and his hand dropped to his side. Hughes looked to the sky as he laid there choking on his blood. So many thoughts and images flashed before his eyes. Aside from his childhood memories, the images of his mates flash before his eyes. More tears ran down Hughes' face as he realized he would die without ever being loved by either of his mates, and it was all his fault. Hughes tries to think of those that love him, and he suddenly feels so alone. He struggles to breathe before choking on his blood again. He feels the warm spray of his blood, as it splashes on his face while he coughs. His head moves from side to side as he tries not to think of the pain, from the giant piece of metal embedded in his chest. He feels cold, but the liquid running down his body is so warm. As Hughes looks at the sky, his vision begins to blur even more. Hughes rapidly blinks, and more tears fall from his eyes when he realizes the only per
