Thane's P.O.V "Thane come eat!" Grabbing my tie and bag I head downstairs. "Your brother's halfway done, what were you doing up there?" "Struggling with his tie." He smirks and I glare at him. "Shut up golden boy." He snarls, there he is. "Don't call me that." He warns . "Do something about it." "That's enough." Our father walks in, bowing our heads I sit down and start eating. I hate when he uses his Alpha voice on me. Mom comes around the island and starts doing my tie. "So are you guys ready for senior year and graduation?" My body stiffens and I shrug. "Of course." Ares says enthusiastically, of course he's ready. "Thane?" My father questions. "I don't know, I mean after graduation Ares and I are going to take over the pack and even though we've been preparing for this moment all our lives, they're not exactly easy shoes to fill. I guess I'm still not sure if I'm ready for all of this." I say honestly. Mom offers me a soft smile. "When I met your father it also took me a while to believe that I'd actually do a good job as the luna." "Really?" "Really but then I quickly realised that I wasn't alone, I had aunt Kylie, grandma Justine, your dad and the whole pack that welcomed me with open arms. So remember that, that you're not alone either Thane, you have us, the pack and your brother. He's right there with you." Looking at Ares he offers me a smirk and we fist bump. "Find strength in each other and always have each other's back." Dad's right. When mom kisses my cheek my face scrunches up in protest. "Mom, no." And they laugh. "If we don't leave now we'll be late, let's go." Grabbing the car keys we make our way to school. "Parking lot." Ares mind links, telling me where to park. "I know." I say rolling my eyes. Parking, I grab my stuff and head inside. "Hey man." Jason says wrapping his arm around me. "Hey." This is Jason, we've been friends since the 8th grade when he accidentally poured milk on my favourite shoes and I punched him in the face. After that he hung around me a lot and we naturally became friends. He's uncle Jake and aunt Kylie's second son, which makes him Ares's Beta. And even though we're friends he knows better than to side with me instead of his Alpha, the lines never get blurred. "Get your arm off of me." He chuckles. "Jason you know Thane hates being touched." Olivia says approaching us. This is Olivia, uncle Asahya's daughter and my Gemma. "He should at least make an exception for us, we're his friends." I roll my eyes. "Not going to happen." "But you let Olivia touch you." Jason says whining. "That's because she's different." I wink at Olivia and she smiles. "How so?" "I actually like her, you, not so much." He pouts and we laugh. "Just kidding man, you know I love you but don't touch me. Seriously." I say the last part glaring at him. "Thane! Catch!" William says from across the hall and throws a football towards us but the trajectory changes, running I jump and quickly catch it before it hits Amber's face. "Ah!" She shrieks, ducking. "Are you alright Am?" "Yeah I'm alright, nice save Thane." She smiles at me. "Oh man, I'm so sorry Amber." William says after running to us and I hit the back of his head. "Idiot." "It's fine, thanks again Thane. Be careful next time okay Liam." She says smiling at us then closes her locker and walks away with her friends. "Even after all these years you still can't throw." I chuckle. "I aimed for you I swear." This is William, my other friend and Olivia's little brother. Getting into class I sit at the back and they follow. "We missed you at Williams pool party, why didn't you come?" Olivia says turning to me. "I was training." I say digging for my book in my bag. "Don't over do it." "I can't afford to slack off, unlike Ares, I'm actually struggling to get control of my powers and I still don't know why." They all look down knowing exactly what I'm talking about. "We get it man." William says, just then Ares walks in with the lecturer right behind him. "Sorry I'm late guys, let's get started." Ares's P.O.V Parking the car, Noah arrives after me and we head to class together. "Hey man." He says closing his door. Noah is one of my best friends, we've been best friends since we were five years old along with Lucas and Jessica. He also happens to be my brother's Beta and uncle Jake and aunt Kylie's first born son. Even though we're best friends we also understand the position we're in, everyone does, which makes it easier to never blur the lines. "Hey." "How come I didn't see you at the after party of the pool party?" "Sorry man, I had to take Amber home." He chuckles, patting my back. "I get it." Getting inside Lucas and Jessica meet us, Lucas is my Gemma, uncle Asahya and aunt Sarah's son. Jessica is Noah's little sister. Even though we were all bound to know and work with each other because our parents are friends, we all became friends naturally and built these bonds naturally. "Ah Ares, glad I caught you before class." This is Mr Benson, our business lecturer. "Mr Benson what can I do for you?" "I just wanted to tell you that I really loved your thesis that you handed in and was wondering if you were free some time so I can pick your brain?" He says putting his hand on my shoulder, Lucas quickly jumps in front of me, gripping Mr Bensons hand and twisting it. "No touching the Alpha." He growls and Mr Benson winces. Lightly pulling Lucas back I look at him, shaking my head. "It's okay Lucas, stand down." And he lets him go. "Sorry about that sir, about the paper, I'm busy this week but I'm free during the weekend. Maybe we can meet then?" He nods smiling nervously and I nod getting into class. Taking a seat in the row in front of Thane, Jason comes to sit on my right and Lucas sits on my left. "Sorry I'm late guys, let's get started." _______________________________ What did you guys think?
