“This is insane, you can’t do this!”“Watch me.” The composure of Travis Caelan as he tears apart everything Millan holds dear in his life is astonishing. Even his mother looks shocked.“Honey, please think about this. Surely we can work something out. This is-”The Alpha doesn’t even have to use a commanding voice or say anything at all, his glare is enough to shut his wife’s objections. She turns to Millan with tears in her eyes, defeated.The frightened omega has never seen such a big crowd before. Almost every wolf of the pack has responded to the Alpha’s call to watch the inhabitual event unfold. They’re all staring as the imposing leader towers over the small werewolf. Normally so rebellious, Millan can’t do anything but shrink under the weight of everybody’s gaze, unshed tears in his eyes.“Millan, since the day you gained the ability to talk, you’ve been a disappointment. Not only to your mother and I, but to the entire pack. I can no longer excuse your defiance. You’ve co
Hand on the doorknob of the back door, backpack into place, a wavering determination on his face, Millan completely freezes, to the point of holding his breath and turns around.Weston is standing by the doorway, arms crossed… looking intimidating as hell.Amir is on his side, eyes puffy and red, Andy supporting him and looking just as bad as his brother.Millan feels a pang of guilt in his guts, he clutches the doorknob tighter.“I’m so sorry, Amir. I’m going to rectify this, I promise.”Amir’s eyebrows furrow.Millan thinks he’ll yell at him. He have every right to be mad, Millan would be.Instead, Amir launches and hugs him so tight it’s hard to breathe.“You idiot. I’m not mad at you and you don’t have to do shit.”“You don’t understand, Amir, it’s my fault-““It’s not. It’s really not.”Amir pulls away from the hug but keeps his hands on Millan's shoulders. His red rimmed eyes study him for a while and Millan tries not to squirm.“You’re still going to do something stupid, aren’t
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, that’s all that goes through Millan'smind as two extremely muscular and tall alpha guards forcibly lead him down the hallway.Axel Brook can’t seem to shut up, going on and on about how easy it was to capture him.In only five minutes, Millan'srolled his eyes more times than he can count. He doesn’t think he’s ever met such an insufferable Alpha.“I thought I’d have some fun killing that beta friend of yours.I really didn’t think Westonwould be dumb enough to send you!”Tuning out the Alpha’s ramblings, Millaneyes a key dangling from one of the guard’s belt and smirks. Struggling against the bulky guards is stupid. Dumb. Suicidal. Moronic.Their hands are almost bigger than Millan'sarms for fuck’s sake. But Millan hasnever been the smartest and always liked a good fight. Even as unequal
“Stop laughing!”“Sorry…” Millancoughs to hide his smile not very effectively. “Right. Sorry. I’m serious now.”Axel Brook grunts and rolls his eyes. “You’re extremely irritating, you know that?”Millansmiles, ignoring the hurt in his jaw. “It’s why I got banned. By my own father. The one you plan to use me against.” He said as if he was talking to a really stupid three year old kid.Axel Brook shrugs. “I bet he doesn’t hate you as much as you think.”Millansnorts.“When I was eight, I told him I wanted to travel, he told me that if I ever stepped foot outside the territory, I’d better not show my face again. When I told him my uncle, his brother, raped me during my first heat, he just laughed, and told me to get over myself. When he caught me stealing suppressants to avoid another heat, he senten
Westonleads him to his office.“Here. We won’t be bothered.”After closing the door, he sits beside Millanon the couch. Westonsighs and Millan'sthroat tightens.He’s so scared he’ll get thrown out. He knows he has to leave but he just doesn’t want Westonto tell him to leave.It’s stupid. The result is the same but he just prefers it to be his decision.“Where to even begin?”Millandecides to get this over with as fast as possible.“I know you think we’re Fated Mates and I know you probably despise this whole thing and I understand,Weston. I’m not good for you, I’m not good for your pack either.”“Millan- ““I understand if you want me to leave. It’s fine, really.”“Millan,slow down a sec- ““No,Weston.I d
Millanstifles a groan as Nara probes his bruised cheek.Every time he winces, the crease between Weston’s eyebrows deepens. Millandoesn’t like seeing him so worried and jittery. It unnerves him.Nara rolls her chair back and takes off her gloves. Millanrelaxes, dangling his legs from his perch on the bed.“It’s not healing very fast.”“Don’t worry about it,Nara. I’ve always been a little slower when it comes to healing. But I always heal eventually.”He gives her a reassuring smile, as much for her as for Westonwhich is currently standing right behind her.Biting her lip, the doctor doesn’t seem too convinced.“Still, abruise like that should have healed in four to six hours. It’s been, what? Twenty-four hours? It’s as if… you’re healing like a human.”“Really,Nara,
“As a result, this report raises concerns and highlights the need for both the Legislative and Executive branches of the Council to proceed with caution on the implementation of the current situational plans…”Weston has already read Grant’s report twice and it’s even more boring when read out loud. So he lets his mind wonder as the rest of the Council listens carefully to each and every word.They’ve only been apart for an hour and Weston is already anxious to get back to Millan.He didn’t seem too pleased with the resting order Nara had given him. Actually, Millan never seems too pleased with any order in any circumstances judging by the way he purses his lips and narrows his eyes every time.By the way his nose crunches just a little with the movement and the way his hands close into cute little fists.Millan is just so cute and so adorab-“Weston, what are you smiling about?” Amir’s knowing smirk effectively sets Weston’s face back into seriousness.“What? Nothing. I’m listening t
“Whose car is that?”They’re walking back to the main house. Millan had wanted to get away from the hospital room and Weston had accepted on the condition that he’d rest at the main house.Although there is no way he is letting himself toss and turn and most of all, think alone in bed again. He’d agreed just so he could get out of the hospital.Anyway, he’s prepared to sneak out if need be, knowing his wolf can easily make the jump from his room’s window.As they’re approaching the entrance though, Millan can see a car parked right outside and he is intrigued.Werewolves usually don’t use cars unless they’re with humans. A car in Headquarters would mean humans in Headquarters…That’s not something Millan has seen very often.At Millan's inquiry though, Weston only shrugs, unbothered.“Looks like Maddie’s parents’ car. Probably just dropping her off.”That’s… That’s a lot of new information to take in.“Wait. Maddie’s parents are human? How’s that-? And she doesn’t live here?”Weston s
