Holland's POV

*Tuesday, November 2*

Grey and Ryker tried everything in their power to distract me from what happened on Friday, but my nerves were still wrecked.

Theo keeps sending me snaps and I'm deathly afraid to tell my boys. His snaps keep getting more and more threatening, ranging from "we will be together" to "if i ever see your pretty boys again i'll snap their necks", and I can't tell them. It will start a whole string of questions that will eventually lead to me getting yelled at for not telling them sooner, and I hate when they're mad at me.

The worst thing in the world is seeing their disappointed looks and knowing that I was the cause of it. They heave a big sigh, and hang their heads and look back at me with a sadness in their eyes that has me on my knees, begging for their forgiveness as tears stream down my face. I hate disappointing them, or making them upset; I absolutely loathe it.

I just need to get to Thanksgiving break, and then I will have a week away from him and all of this stress. Just a few more weeks, and I'm free.

Right now, they're distracting me by telling me more about werewolves as we studied for our upcoming exams. They had asked me if I had any questions, and of course, I don't. What would I ask about? So they just started telling me anything and everything. Right now, we were talking about the different roles in the pack, specifically theirs right now.

"Wait, let me try to understand this. So the alpha is in charge of the whole pack, and the size of the pack just depends on the territory they hold-"

"Yes that's correct," Ryker answered.

"And right now Grey's dad is the alpha of the...Blackstone pack?" I questioned, not recalling the name of the pack.

"Yeah, that's right. Good job baby doll," Grey said. My body flushed as his praise blanketed me, and I couldn't help the smile that took over my face.

"Okay. And when you guys turn...21?" They both nodded. "Then Grey will take over as alpha?"

"No, we both will," Grey answered, reaching out to hold Ryker's hand. Ryker's cheeks ever so slightly tinged pink as he squeezed Grey's hand.

"Oh. Can you have multiple alphas over a pack?" I asked.

"Not really, no. It's not a normal occurrence, but I know that together Ryker and I will be great alphas rather than me by myself, so I'm more than happy to share this position with him."

"That makes sense, he is so much smarter than you." I joked, making Ryker burst out laughing. Grey slowly turned to me, his mouth open in shock.

"Wow. Hurtful words coming from such a usually nice individual," he laughed.

"So the truth hurts now, does it?" Ryker joined in joking, making me burst into laughter.

"When did it become gang up on Grey day?" He whined, dropping Ryker's hand and plopping his forehead onto his homework in front of him. I leaned over the table and placed a kiss to the back of his head. Even though I couldn't see his face, I knew he was smiling slightly.

I sat back in my seat and he picked his head up again.

"Okay, tell me more," I said, dropping my pencil to stare at them expectantly. Calculus can wait, this is much more exciting.
