I pulled Benji onto my side and kissed his head making him purr happily. I heard Jake's car horn blare and a growl ripped through the air.

"We got to go help Jake." Luke said shooting out of his seat.

"What happened?" Benji asked worriedly standing from my side.

"Alex is missing" Luke said darting out the door and stripped before shifting.

"What do you mean missing!" Benji hissed taking off with me right behind him. We all started to look for clues or scents to follow and find him for hours. At last Jake had found something and we all took of in that direction. I saw Benji starting to shake in anger and he ran up closer to the front of the group. I chased after him and went to tell him to calm down but then I saw his eyes. They were blood red, he was in total blood lust. He took of with in seconds of me seeing him. I could tell he had the tail and was getting irritated at everybody's slowness.

'Where is he going, are you two ok' Luke asked worriedly over our mate link.

'We both are ok, he just is sick of teamwork. Lets just say that his works better alone' I linked back closing the link before he could respond with more questions. I made my way up to Jake making him growl lowly. I rolled my eyes and snickered, stupid alpha ego.

"We should move faster if you wanna get there any where near the time Benji does" I said moving a little faster. He quickly ran to my side and I got faster then he would, then I got faster then he would. That is how it went on for almost three days, with the exception of brakes to sleep or eat. We all could tell the smell was stronger than before, and we knew we were right when a old cabin came into view. The door was snapped open and dim hissing before a yelp and then silence. Jake ran up to the door and I shifted into my wolf and the rest of us followed. We all looked in to see Jake with his jaw around a wolfs neck before he flicked his head killing the wolf instantly. I saw Luke take a step in and I looked over to see Benji clinging to Alex like his life depended on it. I also saw his eyes were back to normal and filled with tears. Luke and I walked over to Benji nuzzling and licking him till he let go of Alex and cling to me instead. We heard Jake growling and saw him stalking towards a small boy

"Bane stop!" Alex yelled jumping on Jake's wolf "He helped me, he won't hurt us" Alex pleaded with the midnight black wolf. Jake shifted back looking at Alex lovingly

"But he smiles like Valentino, he could be dangerous." Jake said

"That was my daddy" the little boy said looking up fearfully

"See, he's dangerous" Jake hissed pulling his mate to his side and growling at the boy

"JAKE! He's 4, he saved me from dehydration and starvation, he was abused! Plus he's family, so we can't leave here" Alex yelled pushing Jake away and going to comfort the small boy.

"I'm 5" the boy corrected Alex, holding up 5 fingers life most children. l smiled softly and kissed the child's head. "And daddy didn't abuse me. That's all normal" He said giggling. But you could tell from looking at him that he was abused, none of what he went through was normal. He was covered in scars, cuts, dirt, and bruises. mostly focused around his hips and lower back. Some looked like the where from a whip or something close to it. There was some dried blood here and there as well.

"No Luka, it's not normal. It's bad. Never let someone treat you like that ok?" Alex said patting the boy, Luka's, matted brown hair.

"Ok" the boy nodded slightly confused

"Good, now. Jake, we are keeping him." Alex said as he started to walk away, but before he could get to far Kat and Dylan tackled him and kissed his face. I almost snickered at the way he was talking about the boy as if he were a stray dog.

"I never agreed to that" Jake said pushing that two hyper wolve off his mate who was cradling Luka close.

"I don't care, He is ours now. End of deduction" Alex said stomping his foot as Luka smiled

"So are you my new daddy!" Luka exclaimed happily bouncing in Alex's arms

"Yes, and Jak will be your new papa" Alex said glaring at Jake making him nod when Luka turned to him.

"But he doesn't like me" Luka said looking at Alex worriedly.

"Now what makes you think that?" Alex asked him

"He was growling at me and he was a big wolf, my old daddy did that when he was mad at me." Luka said frowning

"He wasn't mad at you, he was mad you your old daddy, see?" Alex said giving that child to Jake who held him awkwardly.

"Quit being so awkward" Alex scolded his mate. Jake adjusted that boy till he was cradling him.

"Sorry" Benji called behind me. Luke and I turned around to see Benji with his head down

"For what Ben-Ben" I asked hugging him. He put his arms around my waist lightly

"I rn ahead and went into bloodlust. I just wanted to save him" He whispered in my ear

"It's ok, you saved him" I said kissing him on the head and cuddling us into Luke's side

"It reminds me of you, Luke" Benji said quietly.

"Me? how?" Luke asked him

"I would cradle you like that till you where 3 and I couldn't anymore. You were a fucking lumberjack that way you grew." Benji chuckled as Luke blushed

"Now I cuddle you two like that at night" Jake said kissing our heads

"Yes you do, and we love it" I said making Benij nod at Luke. I saw his face break out in a smile of pride at my comment

"I love both of you so much" Luke said nuzzling my hair

"We love you too" Benji and I said in unison. Jake told us all we were heading back and we broke apart. Luke shifted and I decided to stay in my human form so Benji would have. company. We all took off towards home.
