I look at him and grumble, “I’m quitting school. I’ll join the humans, join me!”
Kaeden shakes his head. “I can’t be a burden to my mate!”
I scoff, “I’m sorry Kitten, but this mate of yours isn’t someone to be trifled with. I became a multi-billionaire under the noses of those Crimson bastards,” I say and his eyes widened.
“Really?” he asks and I nod. “It’s a loss for the Crimson Moon Pack. I decided this morning that I won’t be the Alpha after meeting you. Cyro and I are permanently taking over and starting anew so that I can buy you everything you need.”
“And what if I told you that the only thing I need is my mate?” Kaeden asked me teasingly.
My eyes widened. “And what would you say if I told you, you weren’t my mate, and I was only taking advantage of you?” I ask in return.
Kaeden looks at me, unamused. “I wouldn’t believe you.”
I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle him. “You’re my mate and don’t forget it, okay?”
I took Kaeden to my room and placed him in the centre of the bed. He crossed his legs and followed each one of my instructions. I spoke to him through the process of completely masking himself, and he finally did it without struggling when morning came.
Tired from the lessons and emotional roller coaster, I let him sleep while I got ready and left for work.
“Welcome Mr Silver,” I get greeted by the receptionist. I go about doing my work and phone Kaeden on the house phone at noon. “Kitten, did you sleep well?” I ask him.
“Mn, but where are you?” He asks, sounding tired, “I’m at work. I’ll be done at three, then we can go shopping and celebrate my birthday properly, okay?” I inform him.
“Mnnn k, enjoy work,” he says to me and we end the call after speaking further. Looking out the window, I realize I can’t leave a sixteen-year-old all alone, I’ll have to take him back home tonight after dinner but I don’t know what I am going to do, facing the pack members, especially my family.
I’m quite pitiful, strong but alone, surrounded by many but not liked at all. I have no friends and no one that I can trust besides my mate and Cyro. >If we have twin girls, we have to name them Claire and Theresa< he blurts.
I smile at the thought of having twin daughters. “They’ll be beautiful like their mama,” I say and hear him growl. >But my Kitten is a man, he can’t be their mama,< he says.
“Omega males give birth, so why not? But that’s up to our babies to decide. >Fine, the twin boys will be Kyro and Khristian with K’s not C’s<
“Kyro and Krypt,” I interject. He growls lowly dissatisfied, >Why name my son after that bastard?<
“Because we love them,” I say and see him nod his head, >We used to get along when we were kids. What happened?<
I exhale. “Did you forget? No one wanted to play with us and Chris left me to get bullied and laughed as they teased me.” Cyro whimpered, >And because of all our hardships, we became stronger, leaving everyone behind. I wish I was never born.<
I close my eyes at the heartache these memories bring, “But then our mate would have gone to someone else,” I say. Cyro jumps up at my words and growls as though he is about to kill a rogue >NEVER! HE IS MY MATE!<
“Then be glad that we are alive, but what will you do if we only have one child and not twins?” I ask him to ease the tension. He grumbles for a bit, >We need to breed with him when it’s a full moon. I can guarantee that he’ll give birth to more than one pup!<
“So you want to kill him?” I chuckle, >He’ll handle it and we’ll be there to help.<

After a long day at work, I arrived back at my apartment and found my mate wearing a set of the clothes I bought for him during the afternoon of yesterday. He was thrilled to see me but didn’t show it since he was so shy.
We bought takeout and cake, then I took him to the beach where we swam and had fun. From the beach, we went back to my place and had dinner. I told Kaeden that it was best to tell everyone that we were friends instead of mates. I also told him I never planned to tell him and wanted him to find it out on his eighteenth birthday instead.
We also saw each other monthly since I didn’t want to hinder his studies, although I was going to miss him like crazy. He blushed when I told him the names of our future children that Cyro decided, and he refused to look at me.
We arrive at the gates of the pack house and my hands shake. ‘Don’t worry, I’m here by your side. Just think of holding me and it will calm you down,’ Kaeden mind linked me. I looked over at him and smiled. Winding down the window, the warriors saw us and let us in.
I drive up to the house and see Mr. and Mrs. Gates run over to the car. Kaeden looks at me and quickly pecks my lips, then gets out and runs to his parents. They both check to see if he is okay, but he just laughs it off, well at least my mate is dressed properly, but I miss him already.
I start up the engine and make to leave, but the warriors block my way. My father’s Beta rushes over from the house and stops in front of my car. “Corbin, your father and grandfather, wishes to speak with you,” he says, making me groan.
I switch off my car but don’t get out. Locking myself in the car, I lay my seat back and unbuckle the seatbelt. I lay back and make myself comfortable. “Corbin?” My father’s Beta calls out again, but I ignored him.
One minute, three minutes, five minutes passed, and he went inside. From inside, I can hear them all call me immature, a bastard and so forth… don’t they all know that their words hurt and no one can grow immune to it? Especially me… their own blood relative.
Wiping the corners of my eyes, I sit up. Fixing my car seat, I see Kaeden walk up to the car. He knocks on the window and orders, “Go inside.” I sigh and look at my mate, who looks very irritated. ‘I don’t like how ill they are talking about you. Go inside and show them it hurts and that you are not made of metal. Go show them your heart beats just as theirs do!’ He mind links me. I smile and sigh, then get out of my car.
He gives me one look and can tell that I cried, ‘You cried again?’ He asks and I nod. I walk past him and head inside, ignoring everyone as they look at me scornfully and with contempt. I hand my car keys to Kaeden and tell him to get the painting from my room and a few things and place them in my car. He nods and does as I ask of him.
I make my way to my parents’ place on the first floor and unmask my presence. The door swings open and I get grabbed by my collar by my grandfather. He drags me upstairs with a furious gaze and when we reach the top floor; he throws me across the room.
I land with my face hitting the wall and hear Charlese laugh and say, “Thank you, grandpa.”
I immediately feel that a few of my ribs broke, and my lungs punctured in a few places. My face hurt and my nose was broken. I force myself not to cry, fight back, scream or yell at them. I slowly get up and place my nose back in place for it to heal.
My bones break and the regeneration kicks in. Wiping the blood from my nose onto my jacket, I turn around and look at them all, hah they look surprised. My grandfather especially, I guess they are in for an even bigger surprise.
My parents, my siblings, grandparents, father’s brothers, everyone that is blood-related to me is here—is this an intervention? Oh look, Samantha is sitting beside her mate comfortably, well it didn’t take her that long.

Corbin hugged his aching body as he took in deep heavy breaths because of the pain he was experiencing from the regeneration. He sat down on the closest chair, leaning back in the chair, his head dropped back and his eyes closed.
“How does it feel to have your bones broken, haaa?” Charlese asked in a snobby tone. Corbin heard her words but didn’t answer. He was used to the pain, but it didn’t matter right now. He came to listen to them and would not bicker like an idiot.
Charlese and everyone were waiting for his comeback. Despite that, after a minute, there was no answer from him. He wasn’t asleep, nor was he unconscious. What was happening? They wondered.
Charlese couldn’t stand his silence and went up to him. She grabbed him by the collar and slapped him across the face. “How dare you act all mighty in front of us and injure me!” She yelled.
“Charlese!” Their father stepped in and pulled her away from Corbin. She turned around and glared at her father. “Why did you stop me? You all agreed that I could say what I want and I am just doing that!”She turned back to Corbin and smacked him twice across his face, but stopped when her hand throbbed. “You and your fucking face make me so sick!” She said and spat in his face.“Charlese! What’s gotten into you?” Their grandmother stood up and pulled her away from Corbin before she could do anything else. She went up to Corbin and tried to use her shirt to wipe away the blood from his nose, the corner of his lips and the spit under his right eye, but Corbin pushed her hand away.His grandmother looked down at him, flustered. She tried it again, but he moved his face out of the way. Pain showed in his grandmother’s eyes, but she left him and went to sit down. “I’ve honestly had enough of this sibling rivalry! All of
“Corbin, enough,” his grandfather spoke. Corbin looked at his grandfather incredulously. “Why should I stop? You de-manded answers from me not a moment ago and now—and now you want me to shut up? Why? Because it’s the truth and you don’t want to hear it?”His grandfather didn’t want him to stop because he didn’t want to hear his words, but because he didn’t understand why he was crying. First Corbin smiled, shocking them and now, not only his words but his tears, were shaking them to the core - Isn’t he supposed to be strong? So why was he crying?.Corbin sighed. Looking back at Charlese, he said, “I did nothing to you yet you hate me. YOUR father doesn’t discipline you and so because you were rude to the person I invited to YOUR brother’s party and smacked, humiliated him too, I taught you a lesson. I never hurt you once because you are my baby sister but every day, you call me an idiot multiple times, an asshole, a piece of sh
“The only reason I gave him his presents early is because I didn’t want anyone to see the painting of him and Cyro, since I painted nothing for Alpha Chris. I also thought that it would cheer him up since he seemed a bit off and it worked until he came back from breakfast with the head family,” he added.All of his words seemed to add up, but they needed to dig deeper. Zander looked at Kaeden and asked, “What is the deal between you and my granddaughter?”Kaeden answered bleakly, “She thinks I like her boyfriend.”“Do you?” Zander asked.Kaeden scoffed, “He’s not my cup of tea.”“Then why were you looking at him?” Charlese asked, not liking his attitude. Kaeden looked over at her and sneered, “Cause he was crying to his mama the night before about how Corbin beat his ass up, like the mama’s boy he is.”“You!” she started and raised her hand to slap him, “Go ahead and slap me again,
To some, it seemed that Kaeden was keeping himself high and mighty even without talking to any of the pack members, but it’s not like he wasn’t talking, no one was willing to listen to him. His mother, father, and siblings were in a completely awkward position. There was Kaeden and then there was the pack.After training, Kaeden went on border patrol, then came back and showered. He ate alone outside, then went back in and did his homework. After homework, he went through his videos. Uploading the video of himself dancing to Vanessa Nicole’s Everyday to his status update. In the video, he had on the clothes he wore on Corbin’s birthday but was in his socks. He stood in the middle of the living room in front of a five-seater couch. Seconds through the video, he stopped dancing and looked to his right, and started laughing.Corbin walked into the camera’s line of view and walked towards the camera, asking, “What are you doing now?
Letting go of him, I grab his hand and run with him towards the house. “Let’s go inside and have a look.”The house I bought is mostly made with glass and if there is a storm, we will see it! I took him around the house outside and he got so excited seeing the outside hot tub, swimming pool and guest house. When we went inside, he squealed at the huge kitchen that was only for him and the living room that the kitchen overlooked with the relaxing red couches. I didn’t install any t.v’s because I don’t know if he wants any because I certainly don’t like them.Our bedroom and the four other rooms were on the second floor above ground overlooking the forest with an en-suite bathroom and king-size fluffy bed. I jump on the bed after taking off my shoes and lay on my back looking over at him with my hands under my head, “Open the cupboard behind you,” I say and he does.As he opens the door, another room comes into view as
“Fuck!” Corbin grunted as his speed picked up. His thrusts became animalistic, and his hands gripped firmly onto Kaeden’s waist, hurting him, but Kaeden held his screams in. He held himself and Corbin’s shafts together and rubbed the tips together as they jerked off.Corbin’s tongue traced Kaeden’s neck and latched on. He sucked on multiple spots, leaving his marks all over. Grunting, the two of them came at the same time and shuddered. Sweat traced their foreheads as they both panted. Corbin closed his eyes and smiled. It wasn’t enough, as he wanted to breed his mate, but this was fine for now.Kaeden climbed onto Corbin’s chest and looked at his hand that had both their semen dripping from it. He saw they were two different colours, one being thick and milky while the other was thin and slightly translucent. A frown tugged on his face as he wondered this.Corbin looked down after swinging his left arm under his hea
Cyro narrowed his eyes as two familiar scents entered his nose. He crouched down and looked down into the valley. A familiar wolf as big as he was with white fur came running into their line of view with two pups held in the arms of Kaeden, who was covered in blood and barely holding on riding on his back.The wounds on his stomach, legs and arms weren’t healing, whereas the canine marks on his shoulder were already healed. Three rogues chased after them as they were making their escape. Cyro pushed off the ground and jumped down into the valley, running down a hill. His speed picked up and arrived almost immediately beside them.Kaeden looked to his side at Cyro and whimpered. Cyro’s heart ached, and he lunged at the three wolves with fury, who tried to attack him. Slashing his right paw at the first one, his claws went straight through its skull and he was smashed into the ground. The second one was smashed with Cyro’s left pa
Dante looked over at Corbin, who was looking at Suzanne, who was in pain. No one knew who Corbin really was and what the meaning of his mate’s position and or how inflicting pain on his mate could end up affecting him—Kaeden was as strong as Corbin was and that is why he could handle everything but still to fuck with his mate like this… calling it rebellious… how fun.Corbin knelt down beside Suzanne and held onto her shoulders. She went quiet and looked at him. Corbin was too calm, and it was frightening. “We won’t have children?” Corbin asked in a broken voice.Suzanne shook her head. “Wh-when wolf’s bane kills the cells in our bodies. Kaeden’s womb, we had to take it out because it was too long inside him and very damaged, there was no chance for it.”Corbin and Cyro remained silent and didn’t move. Dante’s eyes widened. He helped Corbin up and checked his face. It was completely blank of emotion, including his ey
