i lay in bed, our bed, between my mates tiredly, tomorrow the Nine are meeting the fourteen and i don't know how it's going to go, today they all shifted, Ashley hasn't yet slept through the night and often woke the other pups so we put him in his own room, it's next door to our room because when it's next to the other pup's room they can hear clearly through that wall, so a hallway proved to be enough.

i roll onto my side and hug Nathan, Aidan clinging to my back, while Nathan has his arm wraped around me, we have finally got our asses out of school and i have never been happier about that.

i fall asleep with a final breath and it's a good final breath, i love my pups to death and i love my mates even more.

i hear about a thousand of loud banging on the door and we all let out groans to it, "What?" i call but the banging continues. i get up and open the door seeing a crowd of 9 year olds and 8 year olds, i turn around and go to the Alarm clock, seeing it's not three o'clock yet, Aidan and Nathan get up, reading my thoughts as they do, "why aren't you at school?" i ask, looking over them, i do a quick head cound, only to find nineteen here, "and where are the others?" i ask and they smile.

"Ashley got beat up at school!" Raylie beams like it's something to be proud of and i gasp.

"w-"

"we beat up his bullies!" Kade adds and i look over them, feeling movement behind me and i turn around to see Aidan walking away, that cheeky little bastard......

"come here!" i say and move into their little crowd, i hug them, "i'm so proud of you!" i say to them, "where's the other four of you?" i ask and they point down the hall, some of them grab my hands and then drag their dads along, i scent a thicker scent and then soon enough i am running ahead of the croud of people, Aidan and Nathan running on my tail and i run down to the infermery to hear his crying, i burst is and see his tail laying limply on the bed with a bandage around it, then some patches on his face, "oh, baby!" i feel my eyes water as i hug them close.

"i-i tired, mummy, i tried to get out but they-they got my fluffy!" i feel anger pool in me.

"don't worry, you stay home tomorrow and when they phone up to ask why, i'll tell them i'm bringing you in for a meeting and i'll make sure each each of them are there and i'll scare them half to fucking death!" i growl and he sniffles, his tail goe to wag but then he whimpers and cries harder, "oh baby, does it hurt that bad?" i ask and he nods into my chest, "okay, i'll go get something, i'll be right back!" i say and he pulls back and sits up, Jack stood measuring something out, i walk out and watch as the pups pile into the now crampt room, they all squease together to let me past and i run my hand past them lovingly, Aidan and Nathan moving outside with me, "I'll fucking rip them to fucking shreds, i'll break their parents spines and i'll kick them all so hard that they wont be able to sit for the rest of the fucking year!" i say pasing back and forth.

"it's alright, Ash has his brothers and sisters that are all very supportive over the-"

"where's the other three?!" i say, stopping dead, i go back into the room and all twenty eyes turn to me, "the others?" I ask and they look between each other.

"Harvey, Jennie and Xarah are still at school!" all the voices say and i look up at Aidan and Nathan and they look at each other.

"are we going!" they say together, just like the kids and i give them a dead look while Jack chuckles in the corner at my reaction.

i look back to a still crying and sobbing Ashley, "yes we are!" i say and move through the crowd again and pick Ashley up.

"oh, wait!" Jack says, he comes over with a needle, "it will help with the pain, might make him a little sleepy, but it means he won't move his tail as much!" he says and i tense up, Ash begins to whimper and wine, moving away from the needle, i do to, infact i run away with Ashley in my arms streight to Aidan and Nathan, to which Aidan grabs me and Nathan pulls Ashley away.

"NO, Stop, no!" i growl loudly as all the pups begin to shout their protests against it all while some flinch away, screaming at everyone who is letting Ash get pricked by the needle, i hear him let out a loud scream before the needle comes out and he just cries, i am let go and i dash over to him, he moves so that he's clinging onto me instead of Nathan, "it's okay, it's okay!" i say, glaring at Jack, he doesn't seem so guilty about it as he begins to tidy up, he does have to go through this every time he gives any of us a shot of anything really so i guess he's alright with it.

"i'm sorry, baby, but you'll benfit from it, you trust Jacky right?" Nathan asks and Ash sniffles.

"yes, daddy!" he mumbles into my shoulder and i rub his back, feeling and hearing him calm down.

"now let's go get your other three siblings from school and have a talk with the teacher!" i say and the pups begin to call up like a classroom going hyper.

"one at a time!" Aidan chuckles, and some look to him.

"we want to go too!" Ian asks with a pout.

"yeah, kick some more wolf butt!" Saphire grumbles while beginning a play fight with Jaquline and Gabrielle.

"no more ass kicking until it's utterly necesary!" Aidan says strictly and they look to him.

"yes, daddy!" they all say to him.

"So can we come?" Raylie asks and they all begin to call 'yeah's and 'please's and things like that, Aidan and Nathan look to me and all the pups see that and turn to me too.

"you'll be staying in the bus!" i say and they all begin to cheer and pile out after Nickos and Mikael, i walk out after them, Aidan and Nathan calling over them to calm down and careful as they push against each other making it hard to get out, i growl at them all and they silence, "what did your dads say?" i ask and they look between eachother before calmly walking through the doors without pushing, "see, how easy was that now you listened?" i ask and they smile and begin to run out.

i look down at Ash and see him hugging his poor tail lightly as he shivers, making him want to hug fluffy tighter, i look up to the twins and see that Aidan is running after everyone playfully, Nathan turns, feeling my gaze and looks down with soft, loving eyes at Ash, a worried and annoyed expression on his face, he slows down and i hold him up to him, Ashley clinging onto me tighter, Nathan then picks me up, warming us both up as we walk, Ash stops shivering as i lean into Nathan's chest, purring at the the bond we all hold together, Aidan stands up streight from chasing them all out of the infermary, he turns around and looks to us with an adoring smile, my sexy Alphas. i pur and they growl low in their throats as my purred words to their minds.

we reach the bus and everyone climbs in, the older kids at the back, they are the rules and have been since we got the bus, Aidan get's in the drivers seat and i pick up the little hat and give it to Ash, he leans over and slaps the hat on top of his head, he gives a dead look with a low growl as we all laugh, he takes the hat off and throws it out the window as we all laugh.

i sit in the front seat by the door with Nathan and Ash, we begin to move Aidan driving perfectly, out of the place and to the school, putting on a bit of music that all the pups sing along to.

the car comes to a stop and i stand up, "Behave, or you are all grounded!" Aidan calls and they all silence.

"okay, daddy!" they say softly as we all get out, we lock the doors because we know fair well they will jump out and start running around.

we walk through the familiar and through the halls of the primary half of the school. i walk up to the desk and the teacher holds up her hand, however when she looks up and sees my pissed off face and powerful mates and the broken pup in my arms she smiles, "how may i help you?" she asks and i give a sharp breath.

"first i would like to talk with the head teacher about my sons issue with bullying and then i want to make sure it's clear that if the majority of my kids are sent home, meaning they need the bus to get home and not just picked up in their dads car, they all go and if they have all been in a situation that they have had to stick up for their brother themselves that they all also go home!" i say and she is slightly pale.

"i-um-yes, sir!" she says and types a few buttons before a phone call comes in, "yes?" she answers, then leans over, "what's your names?" she asks and i let out a breath.

"Codek!" i say and she nods.

"Aidan, Nathan and Raden Code-" the phone hangs up and moments later the head teacher comes running in.

"hi, come to my office!" he says and i follow on, he looks over Ash and sighs. we reach his office and we sit down, Aidan planting me on his lap, Ash snuggles more into my chest, "so, this is about Ash and the others?" he asks and i nod, "okay, it seems that this happened at lunch, Ashley was found getting hit in the playground by a group and the others stood up and attacked the group while, Harvey, Jennie and Xarah came to find some teachers which is why they weren't sent home because they didn't do anything bad-" he explains and i tense, Aidan's hold around me tightens and Nathan's grip on my hand tightens too, the think my kids did something wrong by sticking up for their sibling? "the others did attack the bullies, putting three of them in hospital!" he stops, looking at us, oh..."the three obviously being humans, the rest heald quickly, it seems your kids rather don't know the difference between a human scent and others, or they don't know humans can't heal quick, or the don't car-"

"i'm sorry, but to call the heal quick thing-" Aidan waves over Ashley, "foxes don't heal as quick as wolves or other supernaturals, infact they are closer to humans on the scale!" Aidan rightfully says.

"and if it isn't clear, Ashley has just come from the hospital, hence the stitches he's had to get and the bandages around his wrist, tail and ear!" Nathan adds and i feel Ashleys hold on me tighten and i let out a soft breath, softening my hold to show we are calm and not angry, even tho we are deffinatly angry, but it calms him down, i still feel the dampness against my shirt so i rub his back, holding his head close to my chest, where my heart is so he can listen to that instead of what's going on which has proven good.

"yes, they have all been told and informed, the bullies have been given a month of detentions and a week of exclusion while your pups have been given just a week of exclusion for fighting!" i nod, agreeing that is fair, "i'll let Ashley the rest of the week to get better seems as it's thursday and he has the weekend too, but i'll expect to see him monday-" pfft, i'll let him in school when i let him in school you prick.. "the other three will be expected to come into school as usual tho, i'll let them go today as i got the email and i'll make sure to follow that in futur!" he explains, "is that alright?" he asks and i nod, "okay then, i'll see you monday hopfully!" he says and we all stand up, "oh, Raden?" i turn my head to look at him and Ashleys ears turn, hitting me in the jaw when they do, "there was a man that wanted to talk to you, your test results were amazing, he wanted to visit you on life choices and everything, he gave me his card-" he leans over and Nathan takes it, "he asks you to give him a ring if possible!" i nod.

"thank you!" i say, "bye!" i call cheerfully as we walk out, "i should of asked him to give him a better consiquense!" i pout, "do you think a month of detentions are enough for those little brats?" i ask and Aidan and Nathan chuckle.

"yes, deffinatly, with mrs Glen there!" Nathan chuckles.

"she's a bitch!" Aidan adds and i smile.

the missing three are sat outside of the office on the soft chairs messing around quietly while they laugh and push eachother about, as soon as they see us they come over and hug us all before running off towards the bus.

we walk out to the bus and see that it's rocking about from the hyperactive pups inside, i growl and the bus stops rocking, obviously hearing me, i hear them warn each other i'm coming and i smile, looking up to Aidan, the car door unlocks and we walk into the bus, "did you all behave?" Nathan asks softly and they all nod innocently.

"then why was the bus rocking so much i thought it was going to fall over?" Aidan asks and they look between each other.

"we were just playing!" Ian pouts, all of them pouting innocently.

"we got bored!" Andy adds and they agree, i get down and look around the chairs to see that there isn't any scratches or messed up cussions.

"i think your all okay, nothing was brok-" at that i hear a window smash and a wide eyed Ryan holding his sling shot looking shocked at what he accidently did, everyone looking at him as his cheeks redden, i let out a breath and shake my head while Nathan drops his head and Aidan tries not to laugh his ass off at the face Ryan made, but fails and bursts out laughing before taking our places.

"Ryan-" Aidan calls, "your on dish duty buddy!" he adds and laughs as we hear Ryan wine, whimper and groan at his punishment.
