Josh povAfter getting David tucked in I head for Claire who looks sad he is the most withdrawn little boy I ever seen. He flinched a lot and hearing him cry breaks your heart."is he okay?",she looks up waiting on an answer."no, I sigh, he was sobbing in the bathroom before bed. I didn't push him to tell me what was wrong",I knew what was wrong he was dumped off on us and his mom didn't care if he was terrified or happy with it."oh Josh, Claire looked up the hallway, what do we do?",I sighed."we be there for him",I look at her. She sits and we start a movie and thirty minutes in a scream has us jerking up. Dad hauls ass for David and busting in the room he is in the corner screaming and crying. "I'm sorry, he sobs, I'm sorry...I won't be bad I promise ",what have they done to him. Dad moves to him and he finches away."David, he says softly, your okay buddy. We won't hurt you",he sobs and pushes his face into the corner."I'm not a bad boy, he sobs, I'm not a bad boy",my dad gets
Lucas povI drag Gemma home and I'm completely frustrated with her shit lately. "what was that Gem?",she glares at me."what was what Lucas?",she is acting like a bitch."your brother, I watch her eyes glow before going to their normal color, what were you going to do to that little boy?",she sighed."nothing, she looked out the window, nothing at all my vampire said he was abused I wanted proof...I guess",I sighed."Josh is convinced you want to hurt him as well Gem and from the looks of today I think so too",she glared at me."this is our whole problem Lucas, she turns away, you still treat me below you and so does Josh. I'm sick of it now. I don't want shit to do with that pup because he is a reminder my parents chose him and I was cast aside. Yes he was abused but I struggled with Claire all alone on the streets. You all can fuck off",she stormed away and I growled."keep being this way and I will have no choice but to move on!, I called after her, my alpha comes before even you a
Josh povLucas mind linked me earlier wanting to know if Gemma can meet her brother and I was very hesitant. I didn't fully trust her not to hurt him because of all the pain she had to go through from a very young age. The sad thing is this poor little boy went through a lot of shit that Gemma never got to experience. He was abused probably from a baby on up till now and it shows with all the test and scans that doc put him through. I didn't want to agree but Claire said that it was for the best and so in an hour's time we're going to meet for ice cream. I'm very reluctant because I fear she will try to hurt him but Lucas promised that she just wanted to meet him."so we are meeting someone today for ice cream ",we prepare David."okay",he looks scared."what is wrong baby?",he sniffles. "mommy met man he took me and hurt me. Am I going with man again?",Claire teared up and I pulled David in my arms."no baby no mean man just my best friend and his mate both are nice. We promise no me
Josh povI don't know who is more nervous for David's test Claire or me. The pup worried he will disappoint us but I just want him healthy and happy. Claire made us breakfast after I took her again in the shower and I had to muffle her screams so David wouldn't hear us. I still smirked every time she looked over at me and blushed. Her blush just made me want her more."ready David?",he looked scared."no one is going to hurt you sweetheart, Claire reassured him, this to test what you know for school",he nodded but I could feel his fear. I bet he thought we would do what his parents did to him. I carried him to the school and he looked around worried. "I'm not big enough",he whimpered to me hiding his face in my neck. The teacher met us at the door and smiled but David was close to tears."your fine buddy, I rubbed his back, you will be just fine",he sniffles and I almost turned around to go home I didn't want him fearful like this. The teacher smiled and introduced herself."hi David,
Josh povI stand watching Claire sleep and my mind is in utter turmoil over recent events. I had to admit to my fuckboy history and the look on her face devastated me. I love my mate and I only want her but Trisha has tried to ruin it. I wanted to go to the cells and beat her to death but I refrained because Claire cried for me to stay with her.She begged me and Scar to not leave her and I caved before he did. Once he felt her tears he turned into a purring mess. "son, I hear dad in the mind link, I'm going down to question her",I sighed."be careful dad she is a sneaky bitch",I linked back. His sigh was all I heard before he cut the link. I continued to pace and stop to stare at my beautiful mate. She is stunning Scar mumbled as he watched her shift in her sleep. I smiled."Josh, I hear Lucas, can I come over to talk?",I jump I wasn't ready for a link."sure bro, I cover Claire, everyone is in bed so I got free time",he sighed relieved. "thanks bro",he cut our link and I quietly le
Josh povMy dad came to my house with my mom who was still visibly upset and sore. Claire touched her head and healed the injuries shocking my mom. Yes my mate is strong as hell."is David okay?",I nodded but knew he would go back to the nightmares again."we hope so but seeing her freaked him out. He is crying in his room",he went there once we got home and keeps crying. Claire has cried with him and tried to get him to come out."can I try to talk to him?",my dad asked. My mom sat staring at us and I knew she wanted to talk. but was a proud woman. Stubborn as hell but proud too."I'm sorry",her words shocked me."mom...",I started but she looked up tears filling her eyes and I felt Claire sigh sadly."no Josh , she protested, I was so wrapped up on having a big family that I didn't take in the fact you have Hunter, David and now Gavin. Claire just gave birth and I was going on about having more",I sighed. "I know mom and we are okay either way. I don't really care if we can have mor
Josh povLucas hasn't answered mind link, calls or texts messages and I don't know what to do. Gemma has been crying so bad I had to have doc come sedate her. My dad is pacing and Duke headed out to look for him.The note meet at the border keeps running through my head."Gemma when you got home was anything on your door?",she looked at me and nodded no before falling asleep. "he has to be okay",I sighed as I paced. My cell rang and I answered. "hello",I listened. "seems we got your future beta, the voice said so I quickly hit speaker, come meet us at the border future alpha",I wanted to throw shit. We had no choice but to meet I couldn't risk Lucas getting killed. "lets go",my dad ordered guards on Claire as me, him and Duke ran there. Once we walked up Lucas was dragged to the gate and tossed on the ground. He was bound and hurt. I growled and my eyes flashed golden."what the fuck do you want?",I glared at them. Rogues stood with vampires. Sneaky and nasty bastards."we want you
Claire povMy witch wants out this bitch has my best friend at gun point. Gemma looks scared as she shields her belly. I have no idea where Lucas is and I'm angry he left her here alone. Josh is pissed as he stares at the nurse. "let her go",he alpha orders. She looks compelled my witch offers. Fuck vampire compulsion is a bitch."I have to do this, the nurse cries, my mom is with them",I hear Josh growling as he glares at the nurse. Lucas runs in and his eyes go black then golden."get the fuck away from my mate!!",he yells making us jump. Gemma whimpers."please don't hurt my baby ",Gemma cried as she shielded her belly."I have to do this,the nurse sobbed, they have my mama",Josh shared a worried look with me."I have to do this, the nurse sobs, if I don't my mom dies",she is definitely under vampire compulsion. I look at Gemma and raise my hand the gun yanks out her hand and she screams. She shoves Gemma hard and Lucas leaps forward catching his mate keeping her from hitting the f
