We were currently in the kitchen with me behind Maximus as he tried to look for the source of the threat. "Come out." Maximus growled towards the noise.

I was trying to see but Maximus was blocking me, but when the thing that made the noise came out Maximus relaxed and I pushed him away so I could see. It was a little boy maybe around 4 years.

"Maximus you're going to scare the kid." I moved towards the little boy. "Hi I'm Violet, what's your name?" The kid looked at Maximus and stepped back. Knowing that Maximus was probably glaring at the young boy I stepped in front of him to block his view. The boy ran to me and hugged my legs he looked up at me and all I saw were those haunting purple eyes. His face looked oddly familiar but I couldn't tell to who. The boy seemed a bit paranoid, he kept looking around like something was going to jump out at him, "Whats wrong? Where's your mom and dad?"

"My d-dad is g-gone."

"I'm sorry to here that."

"N-no you don't understand, t-they took him."

"Who is they?"

"I don't know, some people just came in and took him. My mom was crying for them to test someone else but they didn't listen."

Test someone else? "I'm sorry about that, where is your mom?"

"She's sleeping."

"Let's get you back to bed okay?"

The tired little boy nodded his head started to close his eyes. I reached to pick him up but Maximus beat me to it, he lifted him off the floor and into his arms. I stood there a bit shock for a second then I realized I shouldn't be this extra when he does nice things, he trying.

"Baby," both the boys looked up at me I tried not to laugh, "do you know where your room is?" Maximus looked a bit embarrassed and turned away from me. The boy pointed down the hallway and we followed his directions until we got to a room, he hopped out of Maximus' arms, walked into the room and closed the door not before waving at us. Turning on my heel I walk back to my room as Maximus followed behind, I walked inside my room and to my surprise as I went to close the door Maximus was there.

"Can I come in? I want to discuss something."

"Sure." I opened the door wider and shuffled over to my bed. He came in closing the door behind him and went to lean on the wall by my bed. There was a long silence and I decided to break it.

"What are you thinking?"

"Everything here seems off, the pack members act as if they are terrified of something. Now there's the little boy and his father, something is up but I just don't know what."

"I see, honestly I wanted to look into the boy and his family, what he said shouldn't be right but I don't think he's making that up."

We were brainstorming trying to figure out how to find my father's twin and what happened with the boy's father. I was sitting on the bed dozing off trying to put together the words that were coming out of Maximus' pretty mouth, I couldn't keep up and next thing I knew I passed out.

*****

I woke up to half of Maximus' upper body on me and his arm around my waist, I tried to get up but when I moved he just tighten his arm around my waist. I was trying to think back to why he was in my bed last night but all I remember is us talking, I allowed him to sleep peacefully while he cuddled me. I stared at his face admiring his features, with his long eyelashes, strong jawline, and his lips that seem to be permanently painted a light pink, he was honestly beautiful. My hand involuntary moved to his face to touch his lips but I pulled back my hand, just as I did his eyes opened and that stupid smirk was on his face telling me he was awake this whole time.
