Reid's POV "No wonder he's so messed up!" I said as I rested my face in my hands. "He was born down there.... He doesn't know anything.... Nothing!..... My goddess, that's all he's ever known."  I said as my voice cracked. I felt my dad wrap his arms around me. I heard somebody hit the wall. I turned in my seat and wrapped my arms around my dad. I glanced over at Marcus, he had his head in his hands leaning forward with his elbows resting on his knees. My father was staring at the ceiling with his head back resting on the back of the chair. Damien was standing next to the wall with his arm resting against it just over his head. A hole in the wall just next to him at shoulder height. "How could his own father do that to him?" I heard Damian say. I turned my face into my dad's neck and closed my eyes. I stayed like that for a moment just letting my dad hold me while I took in his scent to calm down. It's not my mate but it is my dad

Reid's POV After dinner I carried him over to the bonfire. We have two, there is a large one off in the side field where we hold bonfires for the whole pack, 1400 members.Then we have a smaller pit in the back yard just off the patio a little ways. I felt Julian tents up as we approach the fire. He stared at it with big eyes until we got closer. He then turned his head into me and buried his face in my neck. I sat down in one of the chairs with him and rubbed his back. "It's okay baby it's not going to hurt you. It's just a fire. Do you feel the warmth coming from it?' He slowly turned his head around looking at it. I held my hand out toward the fire. "See, it gives off heat, it feels warm." He slowly turns to look at it. He stares at it for a moment then tilts his head to the side. He slowly extends his hand out near mine. "See it's warm. It can't hurt you from here." He smiles then looks back at me. I smile back at him an

Julian's POV I hear the door open again before it closes quietly. I don't care what she says, I'm not eating I think as I cry into the his pillow. I feel the bed dip behind me before she lays down. I feel her arms wrap around me and pull me into a hard chest and I freeze. "I'm so sorry love!" I hear his voice say. I slowly turn and look.. It's not Izzy, it's him. I turn around all the way to face him while looking at him and taking in his appearance. He looks horrible. He looks just as bad as me probably. He has dark circles under his eyes, his hair is messy. His face looks a little thinner and his facial hair is longer. I see the tears in his eyes that haven't fallen. "I'm so sorry, can you please forgive me?" He says before I throw my arms around him as I bury my face into his neck. I feel the sobs rock through my body as I cry into his neck while I cling to him for my life. "Don't.. don't leave me again!" I say while crying. I feel his tears hit my face as his grip tightens

Reid's POV"Also add, we will send a team to help train their warriors for 3 weeks. We will send them as soon as he's ready to begin training." I said too Damian has he typed up the contract for Alpha Matthew."Darn it I hate typing on your laptop! Either your buttons are small or I have fat fingers!" Damian says complaining."Well you have to do it because my arms are a little preoccupied since I'm holding precious cargo."  I said as I looked down at my precious sleeping mate in my arms.I have a meeting today with Alpha Matthew. We're going to sign the alliance with them that he desperately wants. I think he really wants some help training his warriors. Also the added security of having us as an ally since his pack is much smaller than ours.We have 1400 members and our pack is almost all warriors. Anyone who can fight does. 15 and o

Reid's POV  I put off training for the past 2 days for julian. Unfortunately I do need to start training again. If we're going to storm Ace's pack to rescue the hybrids I have to train harder than I have. Julian still didn't want to leave my side so I reluctantly agreed to let him come with us to the training field. He's never seen anyone train or fight before so I'm a little nervous about him being here. I just know this is going to end up scaring him. I did try to warn him and tell him what he's going to see. I told him we're training, this is practice. Anything he sees here isn't real. We're not really trying to hurt each other. "All right Maddox and isabel, remember what I told you. You need to focus harder on your source of energy. Don't over exert it right away.  Use it a little at a time and don't force it all the way out. You're just going to exert yourself and use up all your power source faster. Then you're going to
