THIRD PERSON
[Feburary 13th, 2038]

Kai pinched the bridge of his nose as he leans against Declan for support due to his leg that broke after having a 'playful' wrestling match with Archer. What the seventeen year old claimed to be a fun experience that would help her in the running to become Beta turned out to be a scraping match against her father who was not equipped against a werewolf.

She wounded up grasping firmly onto his neck with her arms, pulling him into a headlock meanwhile bending his knees backwards with her own leg with what was little force to her but was immense force to Kai.

The snap was heavily audible and it didn't take but two seconds flat for her second father, Declan, to come rushing outside to the back where he saw Kai whining in pain and his youngest cradling her dad while mumbling apologies but making it worse as she pressed onto his knee. She didn't know her own strength, that was her only weakness.

That was yesterday. Today, Kai received a call from the high school all the kids of the pack went to and as per usual it was a complaint but this time it was way worse than usual. The principal informed Kai, who informed May, Chris, Vera, Marcus, Elliot, Elijah, Finnick and Killian of the chaos imposed on the school due to their children's mischievous ways.

Aiden, Jaylin, Xander, Gnashton, and Xavier were all troublemakers which wasn't much of a surprise considering how the parents used to behave but also because the boys have been like this since youth. Although in youth it was cute and adorable, now it was a pain in the ass for everyone because they had to pour money into the school due to the 'pranks' the boys consistently unleashed. Of course when it was just Aiden, Jaylin, Xander and Xavier it was bad but when Gnashton became an addition to the fretful four it became worse.

The reason the principle called this time is because Aiden was caught throwing gas bombs into the females bathroom. The girls inside would scream and run out, some with their jeans down showing their panties which was amusement to Aiden and a show to the whole school. It was evil, horrible even but typical of Aiden who, when caught, shrugged his shoulders and walked with the administrator begrudgingly.

When passing by Xavier and Xander, the two snickered and gave him high fives but what these two schemed up was no better than Aidens act. Xavier and Xander's assault came next and they did it together, rare because all the boys did there things separately or all together as five.

It was easy to find spiders that weren't poisonous so when Xavier was presented the crate of tiny bugs, he formulated a plan that he relayed to Xander who was all for it but wanted to do it quickly because he had to get to class. His dad, Finnick, would kill him if he fell behind on his grades. Rolling his slanted brown eyes, Xavier agreed and they embarked on their tomfoolery.

The two boys tossed the spiders into the hall exactly when the bell rang dismissing second period and watched as the students screamed and ran. The girls were the funniest as they squealed, reaching pitches unimaginable and shoved any and everyone out of their way. Some of the boys reacted the same which had Xavier doubling over in laughter and Xander covering his mouth to cover his mouth because his laugh was louder.

The vice principle rushed down the hall, rolling his eyes at the tiny insects and glared heatedly at the boys who were cackling by the front of the school doors admiring what they'd done.

The VP clenched his teeth as he came between the two boys and grabbed their ears firmly, releasing whines from their lips, and dragged them to the main office where the principle waited with irritation on her face and with a smiling Aiden in a seat.

Jaylin would soon join the party because of his tendency to talk back to others. While in his Philosophy class that he hated with a passion, the teacher purposely passed by his desk without handing him the work. When Jaylin called the teacher out on it, the instructor responded saying that, 'it wasn't like you'd do it anyway, I'm saving paper.' Then whispered under her breath that Jaylin was a brat and a pain in the ass, Jaylin heard this easily and his anger sparked.

This was the same teacher who would give detention over students sneezing during a test. Jaylin kept his mouth shut many of times but he just couldn't this time as he stood up and retaliated with words, saying that she, the teacher, 'is the same one who will talk shit about students then get pissed off when students do the same to her.' Jaylin didn't neglect to also mention that she is, 'the worst teacher at the high school' and that he's seen her, 'spread her legs for students.'

With a blush, heavy embarrassment and a stutter that was uncontrollable she yelled at him to get out of her class and to go down to the principles office.

As he rolled his eyes and turned to walk out of the door, he heard her mutter that he was a 'mistake,' and shouldn't have been born. His Wolf was almost triggered because he recently shifted for the first time on his birthday, February 11th, so he was adjusting to controlling his Wolf.

Releasing a breath, Jaylin turned around and glared at the teacher with dark eyes that left her shaking.

"You're damn lucky my mother taught me better than to stoop down to an assholes level," he growled out before turning and slamming the door shut.

The door vibrated, leaving the sound to echo off the walls of the halls. He shoved his hands into his pockets and strolled down the halls on his way to the main office but he passed by the teachers lounge and couldn't help himself. He went inside the teachers only restricted area and grabbed a lollipop off of a table that had many other snacks meant for the teachers. A teacher, his Trigonometry teacher, walked in on him and with a sigh he grasped Jaylins arm and dragged him to the front of the main office.

The teacher left afterwards with the shake of his head. Shrugging, Jaylin popped the lollipop that was watermelon flavored, his favorite, into his mouth and shoved the door open to see Aiden, Xavier and Xander who sat there turning their heads to look at who came in. Seeing that it was Jaylin the three boys who were sat snickered, a bubbling smile came onto Jaylins lips as he walked deeper into the room and plopped down beside Xavier who he did his handshake with.

The last boy to join the misfits was Gnashton. Well, His was more violent and much more serious.

On the other side of the high school campus, Gnashton could be seen beating up another student without any restraint. His fist, albeit bloody and bruised, slammed relentlessly into the other boy's face. All the boy did was mutter an insult Gnashtons way but it triggered him because he had anger management issues that caused everyone in the school to avoid even looking at him in fear that he'd beat them till they were barley alive.

Nineteen year's old and still in his junior year of high school, he was the Killian King of PennBroke High School.

The only reason why the boy wasn't dead yet was because Niklaus rushed over to a towering Gnashton and forced him off the boy with quivering hands. As soon as Niklaus grabbed a hold of Gnashton his Wolf purred and it took everything in him to not swoop the boy into his arms. Gnashton knew Niklaus was his mate but Niklaus was only seventeen and he wouldn't realized his adopted brother was his mate until his birthday that came next year in September so Gnashton would wait.

Niklaus was trembling, the only after effect of Ghashton's violence that the older boy cared about. Cupping the smaller boys right cheek into his larger hand, Gnashton presses a longing kiss onto Niklaus's temple that had the quivering boy calming down in seconds.

Turning around afterwards, Gnashton prepared to leave but the sensation of warmth flared up within him and that's when the older boy realized that Nik grabbed his elbow. Gnashton turned back to look at Niklaus and he saw him scrambling to get out a tiny notebook and black ink pen out of his back pocket.

Gnashton watched as the boy wrote what he wanted to say quickly, his eyes shining with admiration. Once Niklaus was done, he held up the notebook so that Gnashton could see what he wrote.

'Go to the main office. You deserve to be punished for beating up a innocent guy you idiot.'

Gnashton had chuckled, running a hand through his dark brown hair and looked down at the beautiful blonde boy whose bright blue eyes sent his Wolf haywire. Nodding, Gnashton held his hands up in surrender.

"You got it, peep-squeak," Gnashton smirks at the way Niklaus scrunched his nose up in irritation at the nickname.

Turning around, Gnashton began to mess with his nose ring as he made his way to the main office. Opening the door, he was pleased with the sight of Aiden, Jaylin, Xavier and Xander who all sat there. They turned their heads once more and thats when all the boys bursted into laughter.

This was so typical, such a routine that it was comical by now.

Gnashton sat beside Jaylin who looked at him and shook his head, the older boy shoved his head down and Jaylin released a laugh that so contagious that Gnashton laughed too.

The principle shushed the boys with a scowl.

"You think this is funny?" She began then continued to ramble in her lecture about intolerance and respectful behavior within a school setting.

The boys were bored and tuned out her voice because they heard it consistently. It'd be the same shit. Lecture, glare, call home.

Mid-lecture, Xander glanced over to Jaylin with a dozed out Xavier in between the two. Xander tried to be playful as the two were always close but Jaylin could only share a momentary look with Xander before he had to avert his eyes, he was doing this a lot lately and all the boys noticed it but just didn't care enough to comment except for Xander who was always puzzled, disappointed and dare he admit, hurt.

Jaylin and Xander were two peas in a pod, if any of the two boys would pull a prank together it would be those two not Xander and Xavier. Jaylin was pissed off but it was his fault that the two were separating. February 11th hit and not only did Jaylin shift into his Wolf but he also found his mate. Xander.

Xander wouldn't figure it out until his birthday that would come next year August but when that time came Jaylin would just play it off. Act like they weren't mates and that he probably just smelt like his mate but that made no sense and even Jaylin knew that. He just couldn't allow his best friend to be his mate. He didn't even give a fuck that his mate was male, his mate just couldn't be Xander. Besides their friendship, Jaylin wasn't going to submit to anyone and Xander was an Alpha so it was inevitable that Xander would have Jaylin submit to him. Jaylin would be damned if that ever happened.

The principle dismissed the boys after realizing they weren't listening the whole time but made sure they knew that she'd be calling Aidens dad, Kai, who would tell all the other boys parents.

The boys all left together but instead of going to class, they decided to ditch. Even though Xander would get an earful that would be worse because he skipped class and he did that prank he didn't care, he was exhausted. Whenever Jaylin would ignore him like that it would fuck with his heart and he felt like smashing into things. His mood plummeted and he couldn't give a fuck about anything.

Xander walked ahead of the boys, Jaylin lingered back with Gnashton and he tried to keep his mind off the emotions that were radiating off of Xander in waves.

Aiden was beside Xavier who kept pestering about Easton who consistently squeaked and ran away whenever Xavier came close. Aiden would shrug it off and remark that his brother was just a, 'weirdo,' and not to worry about it but Xavier was a curious person.

Irritated, Aiden told Xavier to, 'leave his brother be.' Aiden could be an asshole but when it came to his quad of siblings he didn't like when people fucked with them. Of course it didn't seem like he cared about his siblings to his own siblings, but outsiders would all say the same thing, 'Aiden is an angel disguised as a devil.' None of his siblings believed that expect for Hazel who saw the good in everyone much like Eros but Eros was literally a rebirth Finnick.

Aiden and Xavier rode in Aidens car while Jaylin and Gnashton rode Gnashton's car and Xander decided to drive by himself.

Back to the present, the boys stood in somewhat of a line while their parents stood in front of them. Kai was leant against Declan who couldn't find it in himself to be pissed off at Aiden because he was the exact same way but far worse when he was his age.

Finnick was tiredly rubbing his eyes from being woken up from his sleep but also because Killian was horny all night long so he didn't really get much sleep. Killian was rubbing Finnicks hip as if that would help how sore he is. Xander was grateful for his parents being horny dogs for once because it saved him from getting an earful, atleast for now it did.

Marcus was releasing a breath to hold an onslaught of words to Jaylin, the only reason why he was holding back was because Vera grasped his hand tightly.

May was holding a rolled up magazine and was prepared to hit her son Xavier but Chris was holding her by her waist to stop her prepared assault.

Elliot crossed his arms and was attempting to glare at Gnashton but his glare was the most non threatening glare out of all the other parents. Elijah backed him up and actually glared at Gnashton who didn't truly appear fazed, instead he was much more interested in looking at the most recent tattoo he got on his finger. It was the letter N, he didn't tell anyone what it stood for, he got it randomly as he was thinking of Niklaus.

Niklaus was on a trip with Hazel, Eros, Easton and Kaylee for a week and during that time Gnashton couldn't stop thinking about Niklaus so he went and got a tattoo of the first initial of his name. He would never tell anyone that it was because he missed him but Elliot knew better, he sensed what was going on and wanted to encourage Gnashton but Gnashton wasn't the type to open up easily.

It was especially hard since Gnashton, as well as his other brothers, were adopted separately at separate times. Elliot was infertile meaning he was unable to have kids but he still wanted children of his own so he adopted Gnashton when he was four years old, Niklaus when he was two years old and Caspian when he was three years old.

May, Vera and Finnick told him to adopt babies so that they'd grow close to him but when he saw Gnashton's parents who were alcoholics, Niklaus's parents that were abusive and the way the quivering boy held secrets unknown in his eyes, Caspian whose parents were convicts, Elliot knew without uncertainty he had to adopt these kids. They were all broken in some way much like Elliot and he wanted to give them what Elijah gave to him; life, happiness, aspirations, love.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" May screeched aloud, "spiders, Xavier Lee Shiftman? You know it'll take a long damn time to get the school cleaned out with that infestation!"

"It was all Xander," Xavier points at Xander who narrows his eyes at Xavier and glares.

"You asshole, that's a lie," Xander said.

"Language," Killian reprimands his son.

"Weren't you the same one screaming, 'go fuck yourself,' to the mailman," Xander raises a brow as he crosses his arms, the bulge of his muscles made Jaylin turn away and shake his head.

"This isn't about me," Killian coughs and Finnick can't help but chuckle as he's reminded of Killian when he looks at Xander.

"My question is why the hell did you choose a gas bomb, like what the fuck," Kai shook his head as he stares at his Aiden.

Aiden shrugged, "it was just there. Blame the school."

"How is the school to be blamed?" Declan furrows his brows.

"They had tons of them in the janitors closet," Aiden explains with a smile playing at his lips as he recalls his discovery of the gems.

"What were you doing in the janitors closet?" Kai asks, eyes shining as if he already knew just from what Declan and he had done back in their high school days.

"C'mon, you know what I was doing," Aiden gave his dads a knowing look and Kai gagged dramatically while Declan tried not to find the resemblance in Aiden but it was too strong so he covered his face to hide the smile on his face.

"Jaylin, but seriously this is the fourth time this week and it's only Tuesday," Vera groaned out.

"At least I didn't throw hands," came Jaylins shade towards Gnashton who narrowed his eyes at Jaylin.

"Bitch," Gnashton cursed at Jaylin.

"We would've known, Your fists are fucked up," Elijah looked at his son as if he was stupid.

"What did the boy even do?" Elliot asked softly.

Gnashton looked down at his dad, his smaller dad, and his tough demeanor cracked only a little simply because Elliot reminded him of Niklaus.

"He called me a dude that was obsessed with steroids," Gnashton replied without looking at Elliot.

"I mean..." Kai scratches the back of his head and Finnick shoved his shoulder.

"Old man," Gnashton rolled his eyes at Kai.

"Oh, you wanna fight? Is that it? Because this broken leg won't stop me from whipping your ass Jackie Chan style," Kai tries to hobble over to Gnashton but Declan laughs and grasps his mate tightly to him.

"Seriously," Declan wipes the smile off his face and glares roughly at Gnashton, "I'm going to need you to lay off my mate unless you want to see how a real beating goes down."

"He's a child," Finnick whispers towards Declan who doesn't remove his eyes off of Gnashton who keeps his stare without backing down.

"He's no child," Declan says narrowing his eyes, "He's ninenteen, old enough to get his ass kicked."

Their eye fight is cut off by May who shoves Chris off of her and starts beating Xavier with a magazine. She starts cursing at him in Korean and Xavier winces and runs but May chases after him.

"Babo gat-eun jasig! Geomi? Naleul mangchilyeoneungeoya?! Bil-eo meog-eul jwi! Naega boyeojulgeoya," May kisses her teeth afterward and Xavier whines and cringes down from his short mothers attacks.

"Jenjang, mianhayeo, mianhayeo! A apeuda," Xavier stomps his foot down and pouts shaking his arms like he used to do when he was a child.

Mays eyes widen and she begins to wave the rolled up magazine around.

"Ah, so you think you can speak informally," May says and Xavier swallows knowing he's screwed.

May made sure that she spoke Korean as well as English when it came to raising Xavier because she wanted him to be bilingual but also because she didn't want her traditions and customs to be lost when it came to raising her child. As May taught Xavier Korean, Chris learned too but Xavier was much more better at understanding, interpreting, writing and speaking the language versus Chris who sounded like he was constipated whenever he tried but the effort he made was cute and May admired that.

May continued to chase Xavier around while Chris tried to catch his crazy mate.

"Does this happen often?" Gnashton watches the display.

Aiden, Xander and Jaylin all look at him with the same look.

"You'd know if you actually came home you hooligans," Vera said.

"But yes this is regular in the Blue Moon Pack," Killian sighs.

"Heavily entertaining though," Marcus comments.

"I wish I had popcorn to go along with this show," Xander comments.

"Same," Kai nods in agreement.

"What's going on in here?" Archer asks as she enters the house with Easton, Hazel, Eros, Kaylee, Niklaus and Caspian.

Niklaus stuck by Hazel while Archer was by Caspian, Eros was in between Kaylee and Easton with equal confusion but Caspian and Archer were heavily amused.

"Welcome home," Kai smiles at the kids.

Kaylee awkwardly tried to shuffle away from Archer because similarly to Jaylin, she found out that Archer is her mate but truthfully Archer couldn't be anymore opposite of Kaylee. There was always that pull that left Kaylee going crazy ever since her birthday that she shared with her twin, Jaylin, but she'd ignore it for now and deal with what would happen when it came to Archer's birthday.

Kaylee didn't know what she'd do as of yet but with how close Archer and Caspian are, she doubts Archer is even interested in girls. Though Kaylee doesn't have a preference for any gender, she knows that Archer would find it weird if they were together so she wouldn't tell her and come up with anything when it came time for Archer to find out on her own.

Meanwhile, Easton watched Xavier get hit with a magazine with Mays nagging drifting off into the distance. The hits Xavier were taking made Easton wince as he awkwardly rubbed his arm.

Gnashton was looking at Niklaus who was watching what was going on until he felt Gnashtons stare on him and turned away, his cheeks tinting pink.

Xavier peered up through the hits and saw Easton. The taller male smiled at him and Easton averted his gaze quickly then began to rethink his actions, wondering if he turned his head too fast. He wanted to be inconspicuous but it looked so obvious that Easton was avoiding Xavier like the plague but Easton couldn't help it. But geez, what if everyone thought Easton was weird for doing that? Easton began to reevaluate his life choices.

Within the Blue Moon Pack it was a shit show amongst a shit show but this dysfunctional mess was what made the individuals inside who they were.

As Aiden, Easton, Hazel, Archer, Eros, Xander, Jaylin, Kaylee, Xavier, Niklaus, Gnashtons and Caspian all looked at their parents simultaneously they all thought similar things.

'I'm glad Finnick was The Alphas Possession and I'm sure as hell happy that The Beta Wanted Kai.'

Babo gat-eun jasig - you stupid child

Geomi - spider

Naleul mangchilyeoneungeoya - are you trying to ruin me?

Bil-eo meog-eul jwi - fucking rat

Naega boyeojulgeoya - I'll show you

Jenjang - damn it

mianhayeo - Sorry

A apeuda - ah, it hurts

(Note* this translation is probably so wrong I tried okay, this was probably so cringy to some but it will be included as my characters will be diverse in culture.)

GUYS THIS IS THE END OF THE STORY AND ALL STUFF EXCLUSIVELY PERTAINING TO FINNICK, KILLIAN, KAI AND DECLAN.

My heart actually hurts writing this and just looking at how far my characters have come even though they're fiction, they have a true place in my heart. I literally feel like I've grown up with them so seeing their kids I'm like omfgnkfkdkkdkd what the fuck have I written. I'm super weird for that but I know you all get what I mean.

Thank you all for being so supportive, so amazing, so wonderful throughout this whole journey. I will be posting a character/Cast chapter(s) after this.

Thanks again, loves.

Stay amazing & wonderful.

Finally, that's a wrap.

~xoxo, Babybird.
