Thaddeus's POV I sit here with my head down, and my eyes closed as I pinch the bridge of my nose, trying to calm myself down. I was scared, I didn't know what he was doing when I couldn't get a hold of him. "I, I'm sorry, I'm new at this!" He said, his voice cracking as if he was crying. I opened my eyes when I heard his words, just to see a picture landing in my lap. I quickly put my hand on it, so it doesn't fall to the floor. I look up and see the retreating back of Aiden as he runs away. I can hear the sniffles from here. I grab the picture and flip it over and my stomach drops... An ultrasound! I've been so busy all day, I completely forgot today was our first ultrasound and I missed it. He had to go to our first ultrasound alone... How can I be so stupid, fuck! I rub my hand down my face, angry with myself. I can't believe I just yelled at him and made him cry. I've never done that before! What the fuck is wrong with me?! I turn around and enter the elevator again to h

Michael's POV I was furious that he was talking back and arguing with me. I'm the alpha, and he's my mate. What I say goes! Simple as that! There should be no arguing back. My wolf was pissed that our mate was disrespecting us. He was fighting to get out and put him in his place. As angry as I was, I knew it wouldn't be good if Max came out. He was fighting me so hard, I could feel my body trembling as I tried to keep him back. I felt it slipping as I struggled to pull our Alpha aura back that Max was pushing out onto Noah. Unfortunately, I felt myself being pushed back as Max succeeded in coming forward and took control. All I could do was watch, as if I was in the back seat of a car. Max stood there, watching Noah. I could see how terrified Noah was as he slowly backed away from Max. I watched him become even more terrified when he realized he was backed into a corner, and trapped. I struggled for control again as I watched Max slowly approach Noah until he was right in front

Noah's POV I woke up feeling so warm and comfortable. I nuzzled into the warmth before I realized what I'm laying on is slightly moving up and down. Confused, I slowly opened my eyes before I remembered what happened. I realized the warm moving thing I'm laying on is Michael. I slowly lifted my head and looked up at him. He's sleeping with his head tilted to the side slightly and his lips are slightly parted. For some reason, I didn't feel like I was going to freak out like I usually do. I actually felt calm and relaxed. I took this opportunity to really look at Michael. His skin is darker than mine, a nice light tan. He has a light stubble across his face, and a little indent on his chin, that for some strange reason, I wanted to stick my finger in. 'Weird!' I thought. My eyes raked over his face, taking in all his features, and I have to admit he's very handsome! I thought and felt a warmth spread through my chest as I looked at him. My eyes land on that little indent on his

Noah's POV "Have I mentioned how much I hate mornings!" I grumble to no one as I stumble down the stairs like a zombie. I make my way into the kitchen rubbing my eyes, still trying to get the sleep out of them. I walk past the snack bar where Alpha Jerk is sitting and walk straight to the coffee pot, and throw a K-Cup in it. I lean forward, folding my arms on the counter in front of the coffee pot and resting my chin on my arms, watching the coffee slowly drip into my cup. "Why does it take so long?" I grumble as I reach a hand back and scratch my ass. I hear someone laugh behind me and I glance over my shoulder to see Ryder walked into the kitchen. "Did you crawl out of bed, and walk straight down here?" He asked. "Don't talk to me yet. I need coffee first!" I snapped. "Dude, did you see yourself before you walked down here?" Ryder asked "You're standing in front of the coffee pot in boxers, scratching your ass, and your hair looks like a rat's nest!" Ryder said. I looked

Third Person's POV "Thaddeus I'm at the far South border. They're coming from everywhere, there's hundreds of them!" Roy said to Thaddeus through the link. "Hang tight Roy, several teams are on the way. They should be there any minute" Thaddeus replied as he raced toward the river. Marcus is leading 300 warriors to the southern border along with Zendaya. Abigail and Xander follow Thaddeus and Aiden. The idea is to keep these four together. Abigail and Aiden are strongest when they are near each other. The same goes for their mates. Mates are stronger together. As they race toward the river, the two pairs spread out, but not too far away from each other. Thaddeus and Aiden go straight for the river opening. Abigail and Xander go south a little bit, but close enough to Aiden for their powers to be full strength. A little over 300 people went to the bunkers. Children, and anyone unable to fight. That leaves almost 1200 warriors available to fight. 100 warriors stay within the h
