Balthazar wasn't the possessive type of Alpha and he certainly never had any family instincts.

This was partially due to his own family being so detached and robotic and partially due to him having no children of his own. Heck, until Vinnie came along, with his mismatched eyes and his floppy, tanned ears and his swift hands and feet, Balthazar didn't know he had any Alpha instincts at all. Sure there where his Ruts, and of course he had the protect Pack mindset, but that was all.

Then came Vinnie barreling into his life, literally, Vinnie knocked him over when he was trying to escape an angry marketer in Mexico.

"I don't understand you, my boy. Do you speak English? Uh..." Balthazar thought. "¿Hablo Ingles?" He asked, lips clumsy and unpracticed around the unfamiliar vowels.

The young man crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. "Si, I speak English." He replied in roughly accented English.

Balthazar sighed in relief. "Thank goodness. Come on, I'll take you back to my home and fix your cut."

He didn't know it then, but Vinnie would one day become his partner. Because no one else wanted someone so "fragile" and "breakable".

Then came Milo Murphy, who's Hybrid form was supposedly even more fragile than Vinnie's Hybrid form and that blew everything in Balthazar's Alpha Mindset out of any box he'd shoved it into.

Being an Alpha, Balthazar knew this was bound to happen eventually. He just hadn't been sure as to when. As it turned out, it was now.

They'd been protecting another pistachio plant and their paranoia was already amped up.

The fact that the plant happened to be next to a construction site, didn't help. Neither did Milo getting hit over the head with not one, but two bricks.

Milo had never taken to being treated like a child. He didn't mind a little coddling and/or doting now and then, heck with Zack he practically had to beg him to stop, but he didn't take to it like a normal Omega would.
