The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Thaddeus’ POV

Maze managed to pull himself together after he drank my father’s famous hangover elixir. He was hell-bent on still going to this day club or lounge. I had heard of it. It was in my territory, right on the outskirts of Berryndale that were furthest from Marigold but I had never been there. It was appropriately called Howl and you could day and night drink there. The dance floor was always open but it was a more chill environment.

“Mazey-Wazey!” I boomed when I found he was taking long to get ready. Friday slapped me playfully. Maze came downstairs. We were both in black shirts and trousers coincidentally. “You sure you want me to come?” I asked “Of course I want my Baby bear there!” Snickered Maze.

I tried to grab him but he dodged me and ran out the pack house. I chased after him and Friday chased after both of us, laughing. Fang was on the porch giving us weird looks.

“Bye Fang!” Said Friday sweetly, waving. The wind was tossing her wavy hair back. She looked so beautiful!

Fang was not so deeply moved. He nodded curtly. Timothy, Titus, Fallon and Fargo cornered us before we got to my car in the driveway. Ugh twins! I had asked my parents very politely as a little boy to have those twins but they had insisted. I loved them though in all seriousness and still managed to whoop both of them though I was outnumbered.

“Thaddeus, we’re going too,” said Titus brazenly, attempting to open the car door. The car remained locked. I folded my arms. “Today is Maze’s day,” I said to them.

“Maze! My man! My Marigold Man!” Said Titus attempting to bounce knuckles with a slyly smiling Maze. He folded his arms too.

“Friday,” whined Titus, “We all want to go.” “Please Friday,” pouted Timothy. “Come on, Sis, please!” Said Fallon. “Don’t you love us?” Asked Fargo. Friday needed to be strong. “Let’s all go!” Friday suggested. The four mutants danced for joy.

“No!” Maze and I said in unison. “Oh,” said the four. “We want to day drink,” said Titus. “There is a cabinet inside, fully stocked!” I said. “We don’t have the key!” Said Titus as though that were obvious.

I chucked the key at them. They dove for it and scrambled away.

“Aww, I thought they wanted to spend quality time,” said my little Luna, sounding truly

“You have much to learn, little Luna,” I cooed, enveloping her in a bear hug and kissing her pouty face.

“Thank God, I don’t want them coming. I need to relax. No offence,” Maze said to Friday and me. “I’m an only child!” Said Maze defensively. “I need my space.”

“Should we stay home as well Maze?” I suggested. “Get your ass in the car!” He demanded.

I shoved him playfully and he shoved me back. We drove to the place. Friday was in the backseat leaning forwards to talk animatedly to us a lot. She was more and more talkative as she became more comfortable with her vastly different life and I for one loved it, her voice, her growing confidence, everything. I wondered what Maze thought.

“Remember how awkward our conversations used to be?” Maze said as we parked.

“Well not everyone can be as prim as Mazey-Wazey?” I teased. “Not everyone is as chill as Baby Bear!” Retorted Maze. “Friday has no nice name!” Said Maze suddenly. “Did your family ever give you a nick name growing up?

Ugh, Maze. Her family sucked remember? I pinched his elbow.

“Ow!” He protested like he was a five-year-old misbehaving in church and not a huge alpha walking towards a day club named Howl.

“Thaddeus pinched me!” He tattled on me to Friday but I was glad because it wiped the sad look on her face brought on by the talk of families.

The music was loud without being deafening. It was pretty chilly in there. It was surprisingly packed. They immediately seated us though. They probably recognised their own Alpha, Thaddeus, and the neighbouring Alpha, me. There were a lot of stares of interest and whispers from the other club-goers as we walked past.
