3RD PERSON'S POV

Its been a decade since they rescued the people of fhe Shadow pack. Their are now mourning for their alpha's death. Their alpha passed away this morning because of an unknown virus that has infected on him.

The pack decided to give him a decent burial right away. The doctor said that the virus might spread and the pack will get infected. And the former alpha's son was now the new alpha of their pack, who planned to build their own pack again. The people of the Shadow pack agreed.

Damien was now on the garden of their new home, which is the Night Walker. For the decade had passed. Gabriel always spending time for him. He is really now felt so special that he wanted to tell it to their whole pack that he might forget that he did not know how to socialize to other people. He is still not good at it but when the day Gabriel and Mikael rescued him and bring him to the pack, some of the people in Night Walker and in their own pack starts to approach him. He feels overwhelmed and at first he doesn't know how to act towards them but Gabriel said theat he must be true to himself, and so he did. But it's been a decade and he is a little used to it. He doesn't know why he felt this way because when someone tried to approach him or went near him, he feels uncomfortable. But when it's Gabriel, he feels much comfortable. And he prefers that than the latter.

But it's been a week since he saw Gabriel. He is now sulking and worried at the same time. Is he okay?

He always saw Mikael but he can't not Gabriel. So instead of just sulk, he went here at the garden to inhale some fresh air. Atleast this is helping him to feel relaxed and forgot about Gabriel who easily made a way through his heart that the boy doesn't know. And Mikael knows it. He is feeling shy whenever Mikael is teasing him to the boy.

Damien also have no idea why. Because one day, he just woke up that his heart is now shouting Gabriel's name. He is also secretly wishing that Gabriel feels the same. Because the boy was taking care of him real good. So maybe, that was his sign of showing his affection towards him.

He just smiled while looking at the sky. Aside from inhaling fresh air at the garden for a week already, he is also thinking about Gabriel all the time and just by that, he is no more sulking. But he still keep telling himself that he must not give in quickly to that boy. He owned him an explanation.

Suddenly, a hands covered his eyes and the familiar scent crept into his nose. His heart starts to beat erratically and he actually wants to hugged the hell out of Gabriel but he helds himself. Don't give in easily! He reminded himself.

He take Gabriel's hands away from his eyes and he stood up. He looked at the boy and the boy has this shy smile on his lips and now currently scratching his nape. Damien found this scene cute but he assures that their is no emotions on his face. It is actually hard for him to do this.

"Hey, are you mad?," Gabriel asked in a small voice. Just by that he actually wants to give in. No! I can do this!

"Do i look like mad?," I asked with no emotions. For the decade had passed, Gabriel became more handsome and cute than he already is, and that just made Damien fall for him harder.

Suddenly Gabriel pulled him to a hug and Damien just lwt himself melt to the hug. "I'm sorry. You know that my dad has been so strict this days," he pulled away and a smirked crept on his face. "They're dumb because it's reaches a decade already when they know that i am secretly cutting classes,"

He just smacked his head lightly. "And you're still proud because you do such thing?," he raised a brow as he crossed my arm.

"Mmm! Ofcourse not," Gabriel whined like a kid. He wonder if his son will get this attitude of him.

"Now tell me where did you go?," Now he is showing emotions so he would see that he is sulking at him.

"To the city," he answered right away.

"To the city?,"

"Mmm," Gabriel nodded. A smile suddenly made its way to his lips. Thinking that he is just happy that they finally meet each other after a week, Damien just smiled too.

He linked his arms onto Gabriel's. "Oh, then please dont do it again?," He asked hopefully.

"Do what?,"

"Go without telling me the location where,"

Gabriel messed his hair. "Okay, okay" he pouted and the grown boy just laugh at him.

They are this super closed that other people mistaken their relationship towards each other. Some others told them that they look good. Some told them that they are already boyfriends. Ofcourse, Damien like those words that he heard but he is still working on how to tell his feelings to Gabriel. He is keeping his feeling for him for almost a decade already.

"Want to play?," Gabriel suddenly asked.

"Tsk, the last time we played, i win." He reminded him.

"Oh yeah? Then how about this. The one who will wins will get a unlimited hug from each other," Damien just pinched the side of Gabriel's waist. He knows that this grown old boy like to pinched his belly.

"And how about the one who will lose?," I asked.

"The one who will lose should confessed their most hidden secret." A grin flashed through his lips.

Damien just pursed my lips and secretly praying that he would win. He think he can't tell him now, he really can't. He took a deep breath to calm his beating heart.

"Fine! Let's do this!," He accepted.

The two ran until they reaches the mini soccer field they both build. The two played rock, papper scissors first to know who will go first. But since Gabriel is a little cheater, he would like to make it up to three because in just one try, Damien always wins.

"Rock, paper, scissors shoot!," The two shouted. Damien chose paper while Gabriel chose scissors and their current score was both two and because scissors can defaet the paper, Gabriel wins.

The grown old boy just jumped and he gets the ball. Damien just shook his head at Gabriel's antics. He is already used to it anyway.

As Gabriel settled the ball he said. "Fisrt to get five points, win," a handsome smile appeared on it's lips and that just makes Damien's knees gets weak. But he needs to win so he toughen himself up.

~

Damien kicked the ball and it heits the goal. So now, their scores are tie and only one of them will get the unlimited hug and one of them will reveal a secret.

The ball was now on Damien but suddenly Gabriel do a move to get the ball from him. "Ugh!," He groaned as he chased the grown old boy.

He is now currently getting the ball from Gabriel, but the boy was being harsh on him that he doesn't let him get it. "Fuck you! Just kick it already!," He snapped.

"Okay," Gabriel shrugged and did what he said. When it hits the goal, realized drowned to him. He suddenly regret it. What did i do!

"Oh yeah!," Gabriel is doing a little dance to celebrate because he won. While Damien has now a clouded mind and he can only hear his beating heart.

Gabriel throw himself on him. "Now gimme my unlimited hug!," The boy exclaimed happily.

Damien forced a smile as his knees felt weak and it falls on the ground. "Are you okay? Are you tired?," Gabriel asked right away.

"I'm fine. Just a little rest will do," he assured him.

"Are you sure?," He asked. Damien just nod and Gabriel suddenly parted his legs. Damien gaped at what Gabriel did as his face is now red. He secretly pinched his waist because his mind is thinking an inappropriate thing.

Aftet Gabriel parted his legs. He then sat on the grass, while his back was facing him. Gabriel is pushing himself backwards and when he settled himself on his parted legs. He gently get both of his hands and guided it to wrapped onto his waist.

"Ah, you really has a soft tummy," he complimented but Damien might didn't hear it. "Now tell me your hidden secret." Gabriel pulled away and turned to face him.

And his heart is now beating tripple times than the normal because of nervousness and adoration towards this man infront of him.

"Come on, Ien. Dont be shy," he encourage him.

Damien cleared his throat and was about to talk when Gabriel cut him. "Okay, i feel like i need to tell something to but, you go first."

Damien blows a deep breath as he decided to tell his feelings already. He was about to talked again but Gabriel cut him again.

"Wait! I think we need to do it at the same time," Gabriel said like it was the best idea.

"Do what you want," he just said as he took a deep breath so as Gabriel.

The two of them stood up and the both started counting from 3.

"Okay! You bettet tell me your hidden secret!," Gabriel pointed him a little. He suddenly heard a girl giggled from a meter away. Thinking that it's just some of the girls in the pack, he just shrugged it of.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"I love you/ I already found my love!," A girl suddenly just appeared infront of them and she is beautiful. She suddenly cling onto Gabriel's arm.

They both clearly heard what each others said. Gabriel heard it clearer and Damien don't need to hear it again. His heart was now broken into pieces.

"Ien...how? Why?," Gabriel is having a hard time to talk. He never knowd that his brother has a feelings for him. But what can he do? He only sees him as a brother.

"Why?!," Damien spatted angrily. "Why?! Are you dumb?! You're asking me why when it's you who giving me motives!," He shouted. Mariss, who is Gabriel's girlfriend flinched a little and hid to Gabriel's back. And that boils his blood more. He was the one who only Gabriel allows to do it. But now, it changed.

"I-I don't understand! Giving you motives?!," He asked a little loud. Gabriel is still confused and that irks him more.

"Hah! You don't know?!," He said in disbelief.

"Damien.." he was about to touch him but he step back.

"No!," A lone tears fell on his eyes. "This is your fault!," He pointed him angrily. "Why did you giving me those kind of gestures when you just see me as a brother huh?! Do you know how it did affect me?! You're making me fucking special by taking care of me always! You makes my fucking heart beat! You made me fucking fall for you even more!! And it's your fault!," He shouted angrily. Tears are now streaming down to his face. His heart was being stabbed multiple times.

Suddenly, Mikael ran towards their direction. He looked at him and Gabriel. He gaped when he notice the girl behind Gabriel who looks scared and he can see worried in it. But he doesn't need her worries. Because for Damien, she was the reason why this happened.

"Mariss, w-what are you doing here?," He clenched his jaw when Mikael called the girls name.

"G-Gabriel bring me here with him." The girl answered.

"But are you okay being here? I mean, your a human—"

"Mikael. Please bring Mariss with you. I need to talk to him in private," Gabriel sternly said. Eyes not leaving his. Mikael just followed what Gabriel said and bring Mariss with him.

If this things wouldn't happened he might be experiencing too much happiness because the boy that he loves since then was looking at him straight into the eye. But the pain that he is feeling right now making him forgot his feelings for this boy infront of him.

"Tsk!," He smirked wryly. "And you're girlfriend was a human?! Did your parents know this?!," He is too confident that if Gabriel's parents knows this, he is sure that they won't let this slipped.

"They know," his eyes widened but he hid it right away when Gabriel noticed it.

He blows a loud breath as he wiped his tears. "You know what? Fuck you!," He showed him his middle finger. Gabriel taken a back because he never knows that Damien would be like this. If he only knows he has feelings for him.
He might worked on loving Damien back too.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know," he apologized but an evil grin made its way to Damien's lips.

"You'll regret this. You'll regret this! I will making your life a living hell!!," Damien's voice thundered. Aftet saying those, he quickly turned his back on Gabrial and walked away. Gabriel is calling his name but he stopped himself from turning back.

I will surely make your life a living hell.

As their new alpha finished building their new territory, they immediately moved in. The people of the Shadow pack thanked them for letting them stayed in their territory for a decade. But Damien didn't bother doing so. Aftet what he felt. He felt so stupid for loving that man. He is so stupid to that part that he was the one who is giving himself high hopes. But what was the outcome? He still got heart broken.

A month had passed since they got to their new pack, their alpha called him. Thinking that he did something he immediately bowed infront of the alpha when he got to his office and saying sorry multiple times. The alpha laughed at him as he stood up and he offered his hands to him.

"You didn't do something wrong. Stand up. Here, hold my hand," hesitating, he accepted the alpha's hand.

What the alpha told to him make him shock. The alpha just told him that he was his mate. He cannot believe it but still the alpha probe it to him by taking care of him and loving him. Since he got broken hearted from that man, he had a trust issues already. But the alpha didn't stop pursuing him. And one day he accepted his love and love the alpha back too. He told him the reason why he is having a hard time before accepting to be the alpha's mate. Their alpha got mad and planned to kill Gabriel. Damien sropped him from planning so.

The alpha though that Damien still love that man, but what Damien said afterwards make the two of them laughed evily.

When Mariss and Gabriel's wedding has come. They bombard the whole venue and to his surprised, no one got involved to what disaster they did.

"Stop this already! What do you want?!," Gabriel said bravily.

"What do i want? I want all of you dead!!,"

They continue destroying the place. He saw Mikael in his peripheral vision, holding a gun. And he knows that gun shoots poison. Mikael pulled the trigger and when he knowd that it is coming to hit him, his mate moved faster and make himself a shield.

He got shocked because of the alpha's sudden move. He shouted at their man's to backout and they help them get inside the van.

They are heading their way to their packs hospital and he is holding the alpha's hands. "Please don't leave me," he cried out.

"Y-You will be fine. T-The pups a-are s-safe," his mate beamed. Yes, he is already pregnant with their pups.

"But they need you! They need you!," He screamed. The aloha answered him by a smile and he slowly closed his eyes. He checked his pulsed their their was none. He is not breathing anymore. He screamed in agony.

And that day, he started to planned killing Gabriel and when he gave birth he promised to his mate that he will take good care of them.
