Third Person's POV Alpha Hughes quickly looked up when his door was thrown open before slammed shut. There stood before him, his best friend from childhood, his Beta. And his eyes were flashing between his own, and his wolf as he growled fiercely at him while standing in attack mode. Alpha Hughes slowly pushed his chair away from his desk as he stood up. "Mind tell me what the fuck your problem is?" "Mind telling me why my best friend is the biggest piece of shit!" "Colton, those words are fucking pushing it! What the fuck are you talking about?" "You know what the fuck I'm talking about you heartless bastard!" Colton growled out, before leaping over the desk and landing on his Alpha. Colton's teeth sunk into Hughes's shoulder and the Alpha growled as he extended his claws, sinking them into Colton's sides. This effectively caused Colton to let go, and retract his canines as he pulled back growling from the pain. Colton pulled his fist back before quickly landing a shot on t

Claudius's POV I forgave Colton, or I should say I believe him. He explained I wasn't the person the Alpha was talking about that day. I don't know, maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. But when I look into Colton's eyes, I can see nothing but honesty. I think whatever he's telling me, he believes it's the truth. Whether the Alpha is telling him the truth or not, I'm not sure. Between Colton and Dominic, It seems as though I might have some new friends. I learned Dominic is not the original third in command. His older brother was. His brother was killed during the attack, so Dominic had to step up and take his place. That's why he's younger than the Alpha and Beta. I also learned the Alpha's age. Alpha Hughes is 31, Colton is 29, and Dominic is 25. And here I am, the youngest of the bunch, turning 20 in 2 months. Dominic is biracial. His mother is black, and his father is white. And thankfully, both are alive. I have to admit, he's an extremely attractive man. He has beautiful light

Claudius's POV After filling my plate, I turned around to find a seat, and once again, the dining room was full. Every spot was taken except for that little table in the far left corner. I let out a sigh before I began walking past everyone, forcing myself not to look at the chair next to the Alpha. After I sit down, I glance around the room and my eyes land on his. Once again he has that soft sad look on his face. I look away and begin eating. I was pleasantly surprised that my appetite seems to be coming back. I was almost able to finish my plate and smiled as I passed it to the Omega in the kitchen. Throughout the following week, every time I was in the dining room, I received the same look. Instead of the cold hard stare, I was met with a soft expression. I began looking forward to eating in the dining room. Every time I looked his way, he would look at me. Several times I saw a faint smile and I couldn't help but blush and smile back. Yes, going to the dining room has def

Third Person's POV Colton was furious as he left Alpha Hughes' office. He stood in the hall for a moment, trying to get control of his anger until he remembered Claudius. All anger was gone and replaced with concern as he raced down the hall, and up the stairs. He knocked on the door and after not getting a response he twisted the handle. He slowly opened the door, when he heard the sound of Claudius crying he quickly followed the sound into the bathroom. As he entered the bathroom, his heart broke when he found Claudius laying on the ground crying. The scent of blood filled his nose and his eyes land on the bloody hand towel, clenched in Claudius's hand. "Oh Claudius," Colton said as he scooped Claudius off the ground and carried him into his bedroom. He sat on the bed, holding a very broken Claudius who gripped his shirt with his good hand, as he cried. "I'm so sorry, Claudius!" Colton said as he rocked Claudius, running his fingers through his hair, trying to calm him down.

Claudius's POV I closed my eyes and pressed my face into Colton's neck, gripping him tighter as he held me. I couldn't see it, I just couldn't do it. I couldn't look at his door, the hall, or anything to do with the Alpha's floor. As soon as Colton stepped into the hall, I could smell the Alpha. Even though he wasn't there, his scent lingered. Or maybe it was seeping out through the door from his room. "Hang on, we're almost there," Colton said, and a moment later I heard a door open, and the scent of Colton invaded my nose even stronger, washing away any lingering scent of the Alpha. I opened my eyes and turned my head to look around as he sat me on my feet. His place is nice! It has a rustic feel. Dark wood throughout his apartment, dark brown leather couches, and a large dark wood kitchen table. It's a open floor plan, with the kitchen on the back left, and the dining room in front of it, off to the left. On the right side, from the entrance, all the way back to the sliding gla
