Reid's POV
I groan as I roll over and turn my alarm clock off. I run my hands down my face and remember what today is. Well, At least I don't have training today, I think as I roll out of bed. I walk into the bathroom half asleep with my eyes barely open.
As I start to pee I feel my piss splashing everywhere, and all over me.
"What the fuck!" I yell as my eyes finally open and focus as I desperately try to figure out what the hell is going on.
To my horror I see my toilet has been Saran wrapped, and I can't stop peeing, so it's going everywhere and all over me!
"Maddox!" I roared.
"I'm going to kill that fucking kid!" I said angrily.
I finally stopped peeing and raced out of the bathroom. I throw my bedroom door open and hear my brother running down the stairs laughing.
"Get back here, you asshole!" I yelled as I raced down the stairs after him.
"Happy birthday!" He yells as he reaches the bottom.
As I get downstairs I find the little shit cowering behind our father.
"Father, he's going to kill me!" Maddox said, laughing.
My father raised an eyebrow at me as he eyed me up and down.
"Do I even want to know what happened to you?" My father asked.
"Saran wrap!" Was all I said, looking down at myself... I have piss all over my boxers and legs.
I hear my father laugh and I look up, glaring at him.
"Really!... You too?"
"You smell like piss, you should go shower." My sister said as she walked past me.
"Oh, and Happy Birthday!" She said before disappearing into the kitchen.
"Fucking great!" I mumbled as I held my hands in the air, out to my sides.
I groan as I turn around and storm back up the stairs.
"I feel so loved!... So very flipping loved!" I hollered as I stomped up the stairs.
"I love you, son!" My father hollers.
"Yeah right!" I yell back.
Not how I thought I'd start my birthday! I thought as I stepped into the shower. He's cleaning up that fucking mess, not me!

"So, do you think you'll find your mate today?" My aunt asked, and I raised my head and looked across the table at Abigail while shaking my head.
"Probably not," I said after swallowing my food.
"Not with the luck everyone around here seems to have!"
"I think you'll find your mate today. There's going to be so many people here for your party." My sister said.
"Yeah, there's going to be several different packs here today. One of them has to be your mate." My brother said.
"I hope all your friends aren't coming?" I said before taking another bite.
My brother's friends are okay, all except one specific person who I can't stand at all!
Alex… He's a fucking hybrid. A werewolf, vampire hybrid. I hate hybrids with a passion. Ever since one killed my best friend, Anthony, 4 years ago, I hate them with a passion.
Anthony was visiting another pack when he was attacked and killed by a hybrid. I wasn't able to save him since I wasn't there. I always hated myself for not going with him that day. He was only 16! We grew up together from diapers. He was a tiny omega that wouldn't hurt a fly. He was one of the sweetest people I knew.
I spent 3 months straight searching for the hybrid that did this to him until my father came and dragged me home. I was devastated after that. I hated myself for not going with him.
I still can't believe he's gone. He didn't deserve to die like that. The hybrid drained him just enough to keep him alive, then tore him apart. He died a slow painful death, and for that, I will forever hate hybrids. The whole thing was caught on a surveillance video, I have the bastard's face etched in my memory.
Alex knows I hate him, yet he still fucks with me and flirts with me. I feel my skin crawl just thinking of it. Even if I wasn't saving myself for my mate, I can't believe that fucking hybrid thinks he would possibly stand a chance with me.
"Dad said I could invite my friends, so yes they are coming," Maddox says with a mouthful. Giving me a look, letting me know the person I don't like will be there.
I groan and shove another bite into my mouth. Just fucking great!
"I'm very proud of you son." I hear my father say and I raise my head and look in his direction.
"You've worked really hard the past few years to become the next Alpha. Even though it wasn't easy, you never once complained. I know I pushed you hard but look at you now. You've grown up into a fine young man." He said, smiling at me. "You're going to be a great Alpha."
"Thank you, Father... I had a great trainer!" I said, smiling and he chuckled before taking another bite.
"I'm so glad we're finally going to be able to relax now." My dad said, looking at my father lovingly.
"I can't wait to show you the world, my love." My father said, looking at my dad with so much love in his eyes as he reached up and caressed his cheek. My dad's smile grew as he leaned into my father's hand.
I know my dad's excited. They plan on traveling. My father wants to show my dad the world, literally. He wants to show him all the places he's never seen, which is a lot since my dad had a very rough life before he met my father.
I don't know all the details, but I know my Dad was practically a prisoner until he was 21 years old and he finally escaped. I know they hurt him and starved him, and he was almost dead when my father found him floating down the river.
I've never seen two people more in love than they are. You can see it in the way they look at each other. You can almost feel the love they have for each other rolling off of them. I've never seen them fight. Sure, they've had little arguments here and there, but I've never seen them fight.
I want what they have. I hope one day soon I find my mate, and we love each other just as strongly as my parents love each other.
I think about my mate a lot lately. I often wonder what my mate will look like. Will my mate be a male or female? What will their voice sound like? Will they be an Omega like my dad? I'm not going to lie, but I hope my mate is an Omega. I've never seen an Omega's nest before, I think it would be so amazing to experience.
But it doesn't matter what they are, I will love my mate no matter what they are. A mate is a gift from the Moon Goddess, the other half of your soul. Whatever they are, they'll be perfect. I just hope I find my mate sooner than later.
I'm brought out of my thoughts as my cousin comes sliding to a stop and plants himself in the chair next to me.
"Hurry up and finish eating!" This idiot said as he reached into my plate and snatched a piece of bacon. I glared at him as he chewed on my piece of bacon with a smile on his face.
"Why? We don't have training today." I said, then tried to stab his hand with my fork as he tried to grab a piece of sausage. This little shit laughs at me and nudges my shoulder.
"Because I need to find a new outfit for tonight, and so do you! So hurry up so we can run into town." He said, then asked me to pass him a napkin. And without thinking I turned my head to grab it and this little shit reached into my plate and grabbed a piece of sausage. My head snaps in his direction and he flashes a smile at me as he chews on my sausage.
"What? You're taking too long, so I thought I'd help you out!" I growled at him as I pulled my plate further away from the food thief.
"If you want to use your legs to walk there, I suggest keeping your hands out of my plate!" I said, and my father chuckled.

Reid's POV The party is going great. This place is packed, there's so many people here it's ridiculous. I can tell my father is really trying to help me find my mate, judging by how many people are here. We have a good portion of Alpha Michaels's pack here, along with Alpha Asher's pack. And a good portion of those pack members here today, are all the unmated members. Alpha Michael and Alpha Asher are good friends of my father. Their territory also borders ours. And to increase the chances that I'd find my mate, there's also a couple of Alphas from different packs here too. And of course, they brought several of their unmated members, in hopes to find their mate. I walk around, trying to see if I can smell, or sense my mate throughout the large group of people. I could see people trying to get close to me, hoping I was their mate. I can see their noses flaring, trying to smell me, hoping to smell that wonderful scent, the same scent I'm hoping to smell, the scent of a mate. B
*** Trigger Warning! Abuse and rape in this chapter *** Reid's POV I can hardly sit still, I was practically bouncing in my seat with excitement as we approached Ace's pack house. I hope he's down there. I can already taste revenge. I see Ace walking out of the house as he walks up to me with a smile. "I'm glad to see you were able to make it," Ace said, reaching his hand out to shake my hand. "I wouldn't miss it for the world!" I said with a big smile on my face. "Ready for that revenge?" He said with a smirk. "Hells yes I am!" I said returning the same evil smirk. "You know, I was thinking, if it turns out your hybrid is not here, I'll let you have a little fun with one of them if you want to?" "Really?" I asked, surprised. Feeling the excitement, and anticipation building inside me at the thought. "Wow man, thanks!" I said, knowing these disgusting hybrids are nothing but killers. Ace laughs while patting me on the back. "Come on man, follow me. I'll show you where t
Reid's POV "Are you going to tell me what that was about?" Damien asked. "I don't understand, how could the Moon Goddess do this to me?" I said as I stared out the windshield in front of me. "What? What are you talking about?" Damien asked. "I hate hybrids! She knows I hate hybrids!... Why would she do this to me?" I said as I ran my hands through my hair before running it down my face. "Who? What are you talking about? You're making no sense." Damien said, confusion dancing across his face as he glanced at me. "Is this about the one in the last cell?" "Yeah," I said quietly, my stomach churning again. "Man, you gotta tell me,...what's going on? You're making me nervous now." "It was my mate." I jerk forward as the tires screech, and the car jerks off to the side. The car finally comes to a stop as I grip the dashboard and my door. "Are you fucking kidding me!? That was your mate and you just left him back there? What the fuck is wrong with you?" I looked over at Damien a
**Trigger Warning! Abuse and rape*** Reid's POV I called Ace and apologized for leaving the way I did and asked if I could come back. Of course, he was more than happy to have me come back. I however did fail to mention that I was bringing the gang along. "I can't believe you guys made me sit back here!" I hear Xander complain from the very back end of the SUV. There were six of us, and the SUV only seats five, so Xander was stuck sitting in the back end. We obviously couldn't take more than one car, since I didn't tell Ace everyone else was coming. As we pull up to the pack house I see Ace walking out of the door with a smile on his face. His smile slowly drops when he looks into the car, and notices it's not me and Damien this time. Instead, he sees my father and I in the front seat. His head cocks to the side, as he slowly approaches the car. I ignore the sound of Xander falling to the ground, as he climbs out of the back end of the SUV. "It's good to see you back, but I'm
*** Trigger Warning! *** Reid's POV After passing two more guards doing the same thing, we finally made it to the end. The last cell on the right. As I approach the cell, my heart hammers in my chest, and my palms feel cold and sweaty. My wolf pushes forward, trying to look into the cell with me. I look into the cell and see he's still laying in the same exact spot. He hasn't moved an inch in the last several hours. My chest tightens, and my stomach drops. Oh Goddess, is he even still alive? If he was dead before I found him earlier, I would have never known my mate died. But if he died after I saw him, I would have felt it. But it would have been faint, since I haven't touched him, or made eye contact with him yet, nor have I talked to him. Our connection is barely formed, hanging on by the smallest thread since I only laid eyes on his unconscious body. "Well, here we are!" Ace said as he stuck the key in the door before opening it. He looks into the cell, "Yup, I'm going t
Reid's POV As we pulled up to the pack house I linked Damien, asking him to fill my bathtub for me. He desperately needs a bath, not just for the fact that he's so filthy, but I want the dirt out of his wounds. My dad opens the door for me and I climb out with my mate tucked in my arms tightly. The movement of getting out of the car woke him. His eyes blink open and he begins looking around. I can see the fear in his eyes as soon as he sees other pack members walking around. He clings to me, holding on for dear life while his body violently trembles. His eyes dart around as he whimpers. I can hear his rapid breathing as tears roll down his face. I look around when I hear several gasps and realize people have stopped to look at him. Some look at him shocked, while others look at him while covering their mouth. I looked down and realized the blanket had fallen off of him, and they could see how bad his body was. I quickly bent over, grabbed the blanket, and draped it over him. I
Reid's POVI took the towel and moved it around drying him off before standing up and heading into my room.I walked over to the bed and laid him down before I walked back into the bathroom. I grabbed the first aid kit then walked back over to him, slowly sitting on the edge trying not to scare him.I applied some peroxide on a cotton pad then brought it up to his cheek. He flinched back as I approached his face with my hand and I paused."I just want to clean your wound so it doesn't get any worse than it already is. It might sting a little bit but I'm not trying to hurt you."I slowly move my hand forward again, dabbing his cheek. He hissed and flinched once the peroxide got into the wound on his cheek."I'm sorry, I know it hurts but I have to clean it out okay." I proceeded to move forward again and this time he let me clean
Reid's POV I was just coming out of the bathroom when my dad knocked on the door twice before entering with a tray of food. Julian instantly grabbed the pillow and held it in front of him tightly as he looked at my dad terrified. It almost looked as if he was holding the pillow trying to hide behind it. My dad instantly noticed this and froze. He glanced at me then back at Julian. "Julian, it's okay this is my dad Aiden. He means you no harm, he won't hurt you. He just brought some food up for you." I said trying to calm him down. My dad slowly approached setting the tray on the table next to the bed. My dad turned to me and said, "I think it's probably best if I leave you too alone. He probably needs some more time to get used to you." He glances back at Julian, giving him a smile before turning and leaving the bedroom. I take a deep breath and release it before walking over and grabbing the food. I smile when I realize it's pizza night. The tray is loaded with different vari
