Mathew POV. While Anna banana had her night with Thalia, I had mine with James. We haven't had a night all to ourselves before, I was used to having Anna with us. She'll make me sleep same time as her, she'd cuddle with me and fall asleep hugging me, but tonight I could stay awake for longer but that means staying awake with James. I went and took a shower, got ready for bed as usual, well it's only ten pm, but with Anna bear sleeping in another room I wasn't as sleepy as usual. I got outside the bathroom to find James waiting for me in the room, he smiles at me, a lazy smile, the one that could make my heart melt. I remember my first night here with him, he caught me watching porn, I regret that, I still have questions about sex but didn't feel ready to watch porn again. "You don't have to sleep now baby, you can go spend some time with Zach if you want" James tells me, I'm still a very good friend with my cousin, although I spend lots of time of Anna who doesn't really like Zach,

Mathew POV. "Daddaaaaa...hide me...ahhh" I just fell on my bum, Annalise jumping on top of me, she's hiding again, she doesn't like the pool. She refuses to even go out next to the pool, hence the jumping on me, it's a very sunny day out, everyone want to spend it next to the pool well including me. "Anna, just go inside and watch TV" I say with a shake of my head, she's scared but want to stay with me and James. Daddy is staying with me, I don't like spending time with everyone else alone, she could stay inside and watch TV. "Nu-uh, stay with you" she demands yet again. "Annalise, I want to sit outside," I tell her, it's her last chance to stay inside. "Otay" she says her hands snapping around my neck, securing that she's staying with me, I stood up with a bit of struggle. I was grateful when Anna's weight was lifted off my chest, although her hands stayed in place, the hands that pulled her, pulled me along with her. "Annalise, didn't I say not to force Mathew to carry you?" d

Mathew POV.One month have passed since James went missing no one knew where he is, he just disappeared from the surface of earth. Everyone is looking at him, we have searching mission on going, we called, we threatened but he wasn't found. We asked the feys for help, we asked for favours from everyone. He wasn't in the fey land, he wasn't in the shifters territory, we went as bad as assuming zombies had him but he wasn't there. Annalise isn't take this well, she got out of her headspace, it's killing her, a kitten can't be out of her headspace for long. I didn't know how to deal with her, even with help from others, she needed her daddy, I might be the boyfriend but she doesn't obey me. Tonight wasn't any different, she refuse to put her diaper on, she already had an accident today, we're looking at a second one. "Annalise, come here now" Insay trying to sound firm, she wasn't giggling and enjoying me chasing her, she honestly didn't want this. "I said no! I'm a big girl" was her

James POV. They think their cuffs would hold me, they think I'll give in? They thought wrong didn't they learn anything from the supernatural, we live together for so long and still they do stupid mistakes, like assuming a lord would give in. But if that wasn't a clue enough on how strong I am, I have two mates depending on me, I'm move heaven and hell for them, stupid humans, they think their love can be placed next to our mating bonds, we'd die for our own, but if I die, so will Annalise, I couldn't die not for her, not for Mathew, my cage was made or titanium, an attempt to keep me in, they only fed me once every two month, keeping me weak, they had me sedated, they tried everything. But they don't get I'll always come back for the one I love, and the one that hurt me, their faces are scared in my memory, I'll never forget what they did, I'll never forgive them, and I'll be back. Leaving the lab wasn't easy, I needed blood, new fresh blood to get my strength back, one they spent

James POV.I've been back for a while, but the littles aren't the best, I knew they need some extra attention, extreme attention. Annalise ears were inflamed, I noticed that when she sleeps, she always made sure that her ears aren't touching the pillow. Mathew have lost weight, he's too skinny for my liking, they both could use a doctor visit to make sure they are okay, knowing that Annalise she's going to hate that visit, but Mathew, I just hope he'll be okay with it. "Anna, time to wake up kitten" I say trying to shake her awake, she didn't want to wake up, she's been giving me hard time getting back to her old routine. She mostly wanted to sleep same time as Mathew, even if he wasn't sleepy then, she would try to change her own diaper without asking for my help. "Go away" she mumbles cuddling closer to the pillow, going back to sleep, I moved to Mathew, he wasn't any easier to wake up. He on the other hand been trying to keep me away, I tried to hold him close to me, but he just
