Nathaniel POV.
"You're like the worse alpha ever! Know that?" my best friend says giving me a friendly push, we're on our way to school, he's only mad because we lost my car and had to walk to school. How did we lose my car? Dad found out about me sneaking out to a party last Sunday, a party instead of a council meeting any day but tell that to my dad. As a punishment, he took my keys away, and Tristan being my best friend, beta, and partner in crime. He was being punished the same way as me, but my friend wasn't a big fan of walking, we're both seventeen, we go to the local werewolf school.
The school is filled with people from different packs plus some humans, I was yet to find my mate, my pack had no Omega, I'm a young alpha. Well you could call me reckless, short-tempered, or so my father and mother do, they say until I learn to calm the hell down, I wouldn't be left in charge of the whole pack. It's hard to stay calm, I love playing rough especially with Tristan, I still needed to find someone or something to help me well with my bad temper.
"Walking is good for your health you know, dad always tells us to take a walk," I tell him in a teasing voice, we are always sent for a run when we are feeling too agitated to calm down.
"Not funny Nathaniel" Tristan says in a deadly cold voice, I wasn't going to try my luck and push him any further, if I do, we'll be both late for school. I just let him win this round and kept walking, we aren't walking the main street, we are taking a forest shortcut, not really a shortcut just a chance for us to mess around in the woods away from anyone's eye.
"Tristan" I say in a serious voice, I wasn't joking anymore, he just hums in response, "Tristan I'm serious here!" I say again, that got him to stop in his track and turn to me.
"What's wrong?" he asks, this isn't a joke, if my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, someone needs some serious help here.
"You see that?" I ask pointing to someone on the floor, they had the school uniform on, our school uniform, maybe it's someone we know. Tristan nods and starts walking with me toward it, as we got closer, I could smell an Omega! An Omega girl if the long blond hair and petit body, along with the skirt were any indications. But what kind of Omega is left alone, unprotected, I know we had some Omegas with us in school but their pack usually keeps them hidden, they have people with them the whole time, but she's here alone, no protection.
"Is she hurt?" Tristan asks with worry filling his voice, it's an instinct for us to want and take care of her, but where are her keepers?
"She looks like it" I say my voice held some kind of pain, I never cared about anyone, but this little Omega, she deserved all my care and attention right now. I got down on one knee and checked her pulse, still beating but slow, her whole body was small, too small even for an Omega.
"We need to get her some help Tristan says" I agreed, I picked her up slowly in my arms careful not to hurt her, she didn't smell like anyone, an Omega always hold her pack scent from all the hugs kisses she should be getting, also from the pack bond, but she had nothing on her.
"A lone Omega" I state, it's unheard of, but I'm extremely happy to have her in my arms now, I started walking back home with her, screw school, she's more important right now. We walked slowly careful not to hurt her, I told Tristan to call home and tell them to expect us.
We took her straight to medical, our whole pack live in one mansion, we are close, we love each others, everyone would kill for any member of the pack. It's our bond, it's how we were born and raised, getting her inside the home clinic I laid her slowly on the bed and left trusting everyone to do everything in their power to save her.
"What happened Nathaniel?" my father, the alpha asks, he wasn't mad that I'm missing school for once.
"We found her blacked out in the woods, she had no pack smell on her and no one was there with her" I say honestly.
Mom, the luna was quick to step in and give me a hug, I needed it, seeing an Omega hurt, it's worse than me personally being hurt.
"We'll get to the bottom of this. Good job pup" dad says but I stay in my mom arms, alpha or not, I still need my momma.
Eden POV.It's summertime, I was finally allowed out of the house when I wanted to be, I haven't shifted yet, but the doctor said the fresh air could help me do it, I was scared of doing so, even with daddy being my daddy again. Today Beta Mai dressed me in a knee-length flowy white dress, she had my hair styled with ribbon in them. I finally got my blue strand in my hair, it wasn't as cool as Arlo's colored hair but I loved it too. Tristan and daddy were going to play with playing me outside today, they promised, but first breakfast, I'm back to mostly big girls' food. Daddy cut my food for me but I can eat like a big girl finally, today's breakfast was waffles with strawberries. Daddy groaned while I clapped happily, this is my favorite. "She's wearing white" daddy says again making me giggle, I do tend to get my clothes dirty and do a mess."Good luck bro" Tristan says with a laugh sitting on my other side, he let me taste his coffee once, not that good. "Come here princess" da
Nathaniel POV.The guilt was killing me, she's afraid of me, every time I get too close she'd scream and yell. Arlo told me he tried to speak to her but she ran away, Tristan refuses to even open the subject with her, saying she's too fragile. If I keep failing her, Tristan would have to become her daddy, he'd do a better job than I ever did. The pain from losing my mate was still there, lingering in the back, the thing that hurt me the most was Eden rejecting me, an Oméga rejecting her alpha, it was unheard off. I don't want anyone to feel the pain that I'm feeling, it's crushing my soul, crushing my heart, making breathing hard. Not wanting to seem weak anymore, I tried to swallow my pain, I'd hide my tears away. My wolf would howl sometimes, letting off some of our emotions out, sometimes others would join me howling, other's it's just me and the moon. Eden wasn't shifting, dad told me how worried he is about it, but if she doesn't wanna shift that's okay, she need some time to
Eden POV.They all say big silly words, most of the time the words make me smile or giggle, I haven't talked again, I don't want to ever talk again, talking is no fun. I decided to keep my mouth shut, the ghost still hunts me from time to time, it'll come in the room, he'll cry, he'll try to hold me, but I was too scared of him. I sleep with momma and dad evey night, I only eat soft food, the lady with white gown told them the trauma had me to regress to infant years. Whatever that means, momma asks me if I need to pee all the time, I can walk on my own, I prefer being held, I still use the bathroom although sometimes I get accidents and would end up wetting my pull-ups. Everyone is nice to me, they always were but now they are extra nice, dad tried to make me shift. He tried talking, threatening, making me stand in timeout, he even tried to order me with his alpha voice, but my wolf didn't want to come out, she was scared. They think I don't understand their words, at first I didn
Eden POV.This was much worse than everything I ever went through, it wasn't the physical pain, the physical pain was something I'll be used to, something I can manage but the emotional one. They kept telling me that Nathaniel doesn't want me, Gabriella brought me here under his orders, saying he got enough from me. That was what almost killed me, being hated, being rejected by him, Gabriella came back again, she said the worse news I could ever hear, the last thing I ever wanted to be, she told me the worse news in the whole world. "Nathaniel died" she says with tears in her eyes, she was serious, she came back here because of the pain, the pack kicked her out after he died. "He c..c...ca...ca...." I couldn't finish the sentence, he can't be dead, that's what I meant to say but words wouldn't leave my mouth although I tried to talk, to say it. "He did! He died cause of you!" Gabriella kept saying that over and over again, I didn't understand how it was my fault, but I believed he
Nathaniel POV."Think Nate, where does that bitch go?" mom asks angry, she was extremely angry after knowing that Eden is now missing. "I don't know mom, she only goes to the mall" I say frustrated, I didn't have much information on my mate, she doesn't talk much about anything but shopping or wanting to have sex with me, there wasn't much between us, I hate her, the goddess gave me a bad mate, she's not the one for me, I'm one of the wolves who end up having a bad mate. "What pack does she belong to?" dad asks angrily too. "She was new to town, she told me her pack name was the Banestone," I tell them with a shrug, that's all the information I had on her family, her father never calls, and her mother is in another town. "You idiot! What did I do to deserve such a stupid son! Sebastian, let's go we gonna make a better son" mom yells at me angrily, I look at her with wide eyes, mother never get this angry at me. "What don't I get" I whisper to Tristan too scared of saying it too l
Nathaniel POV. I had my finger crossed my mate and baby Omega would have a good time together, finger crossed they'll be okay, finger crossed they'll stop making my life a living hell, it's more of Gabriella's fault than Eden, she's the perfect angel. Tristan has already threatened me with another riot, he said this time he's not pulling back, this time his riot, would end up with my mate kicked off, deep inside, my wolf wanted to agree, wanted my mate to be gone, I tried to scold him saying she's our mate, we can't not want her anymore but it hurt already, just thinking about it. "Tristan," I say, even if he's mad at me, we are still good friends, we still are close to each other, he is my childhood best friend, my friend, my beta and right hand. "Yeah man?" he asks knowing I mean something real."If I break my mating, would I die?" I ask him, I knew if he reads more about those things than me, it's his job to do so. "There's a chance but if your wolf is strong enough and has su
