Finn's POVI shyly came out from behind the tree after getting dressed. I know it's silly, I was just naked swimming with them. But I ran like a little girl to the tree, grabbing my clothes on my way there without stopping.I felt the heat in my face as I did so. My actions only made me more embarrassed than if I would have just walked normal and stood there and got dressed.But for some reason I can't bring myself to stand naked so proudly in front of someone else like they can.I'm actually kind of jealous of that. I wish I had that confidence. No insecurities and able to do something like that. But I can't help it, it's been beaten into my brain... How ugly I am. How worthless and stupid I am. How I'm as worthless as the dirt under their feet. I'm pathetic!I'm trying to get over it, and my mates are helping me but... It's still there, and I'm still embarrassed of my body.I'm still embarrassed to be naked in front of them, especially in moments like this. I still have scars that I'

Cain's POV On the way there the driver kept glancing back. I could see how scared he was. He grunts then whimpers as he crunches forward and grabs his chest. "What's wrong?" I ask. "He's my alpha, I feel him fading. I feel his tether to me breaking. The strands are snapping quick." He says as tears run down his face and he whimpers again. I looked to the guy in the passenger seat and he's not reacting the same way. "Is he not your Alpha?" "No Reid is. We're not from the same pack him and I." He says which now makes sense why he's not reacting like the driver is. I suddenly wish the other guy was driving instead. Just like an alpha can feel when they're pacc members are near death and dying, those same pack members can feel when they're alpha is seriously injured and slipping away. The sensation, the pain is identical. Right now his entire pack is feeling their alpha slip away even though they are so far away from each other. He could be states away or in another country and i

Michael's POV "Come on Alpha jerk. You can do better than that!" This little fluffy white headed shit said with a smile on his face. I whiped the blood off my mouth with the back of my hand then growled as I started circling him again. Damn it. When did he become a better fighter to me? I thought to myself as I watched him practically dance around me with a smile. Fuck it's hard to concentrate with him! Especially when he does this. He starts prancing around me, practically dancing in some acrobatic damn shit that looks sexy as fuck! His white hair whipping around as his body moves so swiftly while he smiles at me. And let's not forget this Taekwondo or ninja shit thingy that he does with his hands. Watching those hands with those delicate tattoos from his wrist to his knuckles on both hands while he moves them in that hypnotic way gets my dick harder than fuck! There's no fucking way I can catch him when he's like this! Especially when my cocks hard.... Damn it!... I can't he

Asher's POVThey were able to get the upper hand when I felt dizzy and lost my balance. The full strength of the dart had finally kicked in and I was feeling it.I felt claws scrape across my stomach, quite deep too, which caused me to fall to my knees. Right after that I fell backwards when I was kicked in the face.I remember blood instantly filling my mouth, the pain was intense. It disoriented me even more, the voices became distant and muffled.Punches and kicks just kept coming. I couldn't do anything, I couldn't defend myself because of the dart and the injuries I had already sustained.I grunted when I felt claws dig deep into my chest and stomach. Almost instantly I felt another set of claws swipe left to right across my stomach even deeper. It felt like he tore my intestines out at that point and I screamed at the top of my lungs.If they didn't tear them out, he at least lacerated them. I literally felt the tug on my internal organs. I had never experienced such intense pain

Asher's POVI heard a knock at the door and I quickly went to the door to make sure it was locked. I let out a breath of relief when it was. I look to the left, the light switches. I flipped them all up. Hoping one was a fan and it was.I slowly backed away from the door, thankful the fan was actually loud. I turned away from the door then went back into the shower. I leaned against the wall with my head dropping back.I felt them try to push the link open but I blocked it. I blocked it and locked it... That is something I've definitely become good at over the years.That's how I blocked and hid my pain, how sad I've have been these past 10 years. That's how I hid it from my Beta, my best friends, my family, my pack, everyone.Once my wall is up it doesn't come down, I've learned to lock it and it never drops until I drop it.I heard the handle twist a few times, then the door began to jiggle. I lean my head out of the shower and glanced around. I spot a window... I looked at the door
