Claudius's POV I didn't have the energy the following day for Colton to show me around. But the day after that I did. It's been 4 days since I first arrived, and I finally have enough energy to leave this room. And of course, not once has the Alpha come to check on me. I don't even know if he cares that I just spent four days in my room, hardly able to make it to the bathroom, let alone walk around the pack house. "Yes, we actually have a pretty good size library, since most of the rooms don't have TVs. Why don't I show you where the library is first in case you get too tired." Colton said with a smile beaming on his face. I don't know why, but he seems so excited to show me around. "So Luna, tell me about yourself?" Colton said as we walked down the stairs. "There's not really much to tell. You already know I'm a dominant Delta 3. I lived at the Midnight Moon Pack since I was 16. I don't have a family... I guess that's pretty much it." "Oh!... Well, what did you do at your ol
Claudius's POV I woke up feeling different today, optimistic! I don't know, after hearing what Colton said, maybe I do have a chance. Maybe he does want me and I just need to try to win his heart. I opened my suitcase and finally decided it was time to unpack. I hummed as I hung my clothes up, and placed the rest in my dresser. I pulled the silly picture of Noah and I out and set it on my dresser. I smiled at the ceramic gray wolf that was wrapped in bubble wrap to keep it safe. I placed it on the nightstand, facing the bed so I could look at it and smiled. There! It's starting to look a little more like home I suppose. I thought to myself and smiled. I looked in the mirror, making sure my clothes weren't wrinkly and my hair was just right. With a smile and newfound hope, I leave my little room and head downstairs. I hummed to myself as I walked down the three flights of stairs, then nibbled on my lip as I tried to figure out where the Alpha's office is. Each door I passe
Third Person's POV Alpha Hughes quickly looked up when his door was thrown open before slammed shut. There stood before him, his best friend from childhood, his Beta. And his eyes were flashing between his own, and his wolf as he growled fiercely at him while standing in attack mode. Alpha Hughes slowly pushed his chair away from his desk as he stood up. "Mind tell me what the fuck your problem is?" "Mind telling me why my best friend is the biggest piece of shit!" "Colton, those words are fucking pushing it! What the fuck are you talking about?" "You know what the fuck I'm talking about you heartless bastard!" Colton growled out, before leaping over the desk and landing on his Alpha. Colton's teeth sunk into Hughes's shoulder and the Alpha growled as he extended his claws, sinking them into Colton's sides. This effectively caused Colton to let go, and retract his canines as he pulled back growling from the pain. Colton pulled his fist back before quickly landing a shot on t
Claudius's POV I looked up when I heard two knocks on the door before it slowly opened and Dominic cautiously peeked in. "I hope you don't mind, I let myself in. I didn't think I would hear you." Dominic said as he entered with a tray of food, and I smiled at him. He set the tray on my lap as I sat with my back against the headboard. He turned and then sat down at the foot of the bed. He looked around the room briefly before looking at me again. "So, how do you know the Alpha?" He asked and I felt a tightening in my chest. I assumed he knew who I was to the Alpha since the Beta knew. It seems Colton is the only person who knows then. "I-I'm from the Midnight Moon Pack," I said, hoping that was enough. "Oh, Noah's pack! Yeah, that little shit was a good fighter! He whooped my ass!" Dominic said then laughed. I chuckled as I brought the spoon to my mouth and took a bite of soup. I was thankful it was soup. I was afraid anything heavier might make me throw up. I hummed and smil
Claudius's POV I forgave Colton, or I should say I believe him. He explained I wasn't the person the Alpha was talking about that day. I don't know, maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. But when I look into Colton's eyes, I can see nothing but honesty. I think whatever he's telling me, he believes it's the truth. Whether the Alpha is telling him the truth or not, I'm not sure. Between Colton and Dominic, It seems as though I might have some new friends. I learned Dominic is not the original third in command. His older brother was. His brother was killed during the attack, so Dominic had to step up and take his place. That's why he's younger than the Alpha and Beta. I also learned the Alpha's age. Alpha Hughes is 31, Colton is 29, and Dominic is 25. And here I am, the youngest of the bunch, turning 20 in 2 months. Dominic is biracial. His mother is black, and his father is white. And thankfully, both are alive. I have to admit, he's an extremely attractive man. He has beautiful light
Claudius's POV "Are you sure you're strong enough?" "Yes, I desperately need to stretch my legs." "Okay, hang on," I said to Niko as I stood behind a tree just a little ways inside the tree line. I quickly pulled my clothes off and tucked them close to the tree before feeling Niko take over as he came forward. I hissed as the shift went a little slower than normal. "I'm sorry! I didn't realize my weakness would slow down my shift." Niko said. I could feel how guilty he felt, and I hated it. "Don't apologize! You have nothing to be sorry for! I can take a little pain. I'm fine!" "I know, I just, I didn't realize it would take that long to shift. I wouldn't have asked if I would have kn-" "No! I don't care how long it takes, if you ever want to shift, please don't be afraid to ask. I promise I can take it. I can endure a little pain, so you can run free, and be a wolf... Now come on. Run free and feel the wind against your fur." I said, smiling at my wolf who I love with all m
Claudius's POV After filling my plate, I turned around to find a seat, and once again, the dining room was full. Every spot was taken except for that little table in the far left corner. I let out a sigh before I began walking past everyone, forcing myself not to look at the chair next to the Alpha. After I sit down, I glance around the room and my eyes land on his. Once again he has that soft sad look on his face. I look away and begin eating. I was pleasantly surprised that my appetite seems to be coming back. I was almost able to finish my plate and smiled as I passed it to the Omega in the kitchen. Throughout the following week, every time I was in the dining room, I received the same look. Instead of the cold hard stare, I was met with a soft expression. I began looking forward to eating in the dining room. Every time I looked his way, he would look at me. Several times I saw a faint smile and I couldn't help but blush and smile back. Yes, going to the dining room has def
Third Person's POV "If you'll excuse us, I need to speak with my Beta alone. I'll meet you later in the backyard for cocktails." Alpha Hughes said to his mother and father. He gave one last glance to Natalie before turning and walking toward his office, with his Beta right behind him. Alpha Hughes held the door open as Colton stormed past him. Hughes closed the door and locked it before turning around. As soon as he turned around his head jerked to the side, and he stood there for a moment before slowly reaching up and holding his face as he turned to look at his Beta, who just punched him... Again. "That's the second time you punched me out of anger. Do it again and I will break your fucking fist!" Alpha Hughes said after rotating his jaw. "You fucking bastard! How can you do this to him? When did you become so cold and heartless?" "It's not what you think Colton! Damn it! I didn't want this! They're so fucking persistent!" Hughes said as he walked around his desk and sat down.
