Aiden isn't an abusive asshole....
~Phrix was about to say more, but Tris stepped in. He was seething really, pissed that Maddy was suggesting that he and Aiden couldn't raise this child and that Maddy, a fucking teenager could do so much better. But ofcourse Kael and them appeared. Phrix looked up, knowing that Aiden would have heard that last part. The fox was tense, angry and frustrated. He moved to the big wolf and nuzzled into him.~
What happened?
~Phrix's voice was soft as he asked the wolf. Kael frowned as he could see the two were exchanging words. Sighing, he leaned against the kitchen counter, crossing his arms over his broad chest.~
Aiden and Luke chased the vampires, but weren't able to catch up to them. They lost the scent, but we know in what general direction they came.
~He shrugged, but went on.~
We buried the fox in the pack cemetery. We think her name was Emma, she had a bracelet with that engraved on it. Besides, that, there's no other idea. She had marks on her like she wore a collar. She could have been some one's slave.
~When he said that, Phrix turned around to face the others.~
SO, what your saying is, she escaped and ran to the closest pack for safety?
~He leveled his eyes on Maddy, as if challenging the younger fox to say anything at all. Kael sighed, rubbing a hand over his face.~
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
~He looked at Tris though, asking her with eyebrows if they were fighting over the child. He cocked his head.~
How is the baby?
~He was asking Tris, not Maddy or Phrix. When she said he was sleeping, he nodded.~
Okay... so, I want a pack meeting tomorrow night, everyone at the big house. I mean everyone. We have to do something about this. But for tonight, is it alright if he stays here? We can take him to the big house, we have the twins cribs. But if he's asleep, I don't wish to wake him up.
~And they could see that Kael wasn't going to have any arguments about this. Infact, When Tris agreed, he smiled a bit, but it was strained.~
Okay, let's get some sleep and let Tris and Luke get some rest... Thank you...
~He spoke to Tris, slipped towards the door, his hand on Maddy, pulling him along, clapped Luke on the shoulder and stepped outside. Phrix stood there watching Maddy leave with Kael and Reyes. The fox shook his head and sighed. He looked over to Tris.~
Sorry... I... I didn't think... it would go that way at all.

-Aiden stopped dead in his tracks arching a brow when he heard those words from his mate. He felt his anger and tension and his eyes flashed instantly as he tugged Phrix to him nuzzling back into him and staring around trying to figure out what was going on. Aiden frowned looking down-
They got away ... I should have chased them down sooner ... fucking bastards ...
-Maddy was bristling with anger. He listened though frowning but he didn't move in towards Kaelan. His eyes narrowed when Phrix tossed those words at him and he almost flipped the fox off but instead he did something worst, he crossed his arms, his eyes narrowed stubbornly, and Kael could see the fox was just planting himself for a long fight. Tris felt the tension but for once was not the source of it. She stared at Kaelan and nodded a bit slowly-
He's sleeping with the twins ...
-She smiled simply surprised the alpha didn't take the baby for his mate-
Yeah he'll be good here.
-Maddy almost pushed Kael off annoyed but he was tugged along and he didn't have much choice in the matter. He pushed Kael's arm off him though the moment they got outside as he stalked towards his own bedroom furious with the fox. Aiden frowned when it was just him, Luke, Tris and Phrix-
What happened?
-He frowned a bit softly. Tris reached out cupping Phrix's face-
I don't think any of that was about you Phrix ... I think the little fox is still sore about the twins. You guys will work it out ... and whatever happens with the kit ... I'm behind you ... come on we should sleep ... are you two staying here tonight or going back to the big house?

Yes, if you don't mind. I don't want to go over there tonight. It'll escalate again.
~He frowned, but he was leaning into the big wolf. Luke's brow furrowed.~
Soooo, what happened?
~He was leaning into Tris, knowing she was feeling slowly back to herself. There was a pack forming here, slowly and quietly, but strong. Phrix sighed, shaking his head.~
Maddy just like barged in and immediately starts talking about how we can bring the kit to the big house tomorrow and he and Kael will be his parents and that's it. Like he literally said that Aiden and I weren't stable enough to take care of a child.
~Phrix growled the last part, head dipping.~
I KNOW he's a brat, I can be too, but... I never thought he was so fucking hateful, hurtful.
~Luke's brow arched, looking over at Tris even as she seemed to try and explain it away. Luke sighed and ran a hand over his face.~
God help us...
_______________________________________________________________________
~Kael gave a long sigh as Maddy pulled free of him and stalked away towards the house. His head dropped and he just stood there for a moment with the big cat next to him.~
Fucking really...
~It was said in exasperation. He glanced up at Reyes and for the first time in a long time, Reyes saw the wolf he knew from when they'd first come back, a bit feral and a little pissed. He stalked off after Maddy. Kael followed the fox into their room and went to the bathroom to clean himself up from all the dirt. He knew certainly that he was about to hear an earful. He stepped back out into the bedroom and right before Maddy could launch into a complete and total rant, Kael's head dipped, eyes rolling red as a low growl rippled through the room. It would no doubt shock Maddy and that's what he was hoping for. He stepped into the room, tugged off his shirt and then he spoke, grabbing sleep clothes.~
Before you even began, I have a couple of questions I want you to answer for me.
~He stared at the fox waiting a hair to make sure the fox wasn't going to just talk over him.~
First off, what in the FUCK were you thinking, Maddy? What did I tell you? I asked you to do ONE thing for me, ONE thing. And you just what, felt the need to threaten your friend, Maddy? But lets put all that shit aside and tell me, what are you doing exactly? You do realize that not that long ago, I was Aiden? That there were others in this pack, most in this pack who did not think I was going to recover enough to be the alpha again. But we don't talk about that, but you'll talk about Aiden like he's something dangerous? That wolf is way less dangerous then I was when I came home. And you NEVER doubted me, not ever, not once, but he's not allowed that trust?
~He shook his head and when Maddy went to speak, angered or not, Kael held up his hand.~
You aren't going to be a brat about this Maddy. You aren't. This... it's not about YOU and want you want. It's what is best for that kid, who just lost his mother and most likely his father and has now been abandoned alone completely. I would think, you would want him to have as many people in his life that want to care and love him.

-Tris listened slowly but said nothing while the fox ranted a bit. She nodded easily and motioned to a near by corridor-
There's a room never been used ... I'll go make up the bed for you ...
-She knew he'd not want to stay in Grey's old room as he had before. Truth was she had left it untouched. The house had alot of rooms that weren't being used and she couldn't go into that one yet. Couldn't clean out his things. It hurt too much and she had no idea what to do with it anyway. For now she was leaving it on the back burner. Aiden listened and frowned a bit slowly before his eyes darkened-
You would be wonderful parent for the child and he has no right to say otherwise ..
-He cupped the foxes's face-
Kael will decide right. Trust me. If he has no family ... we'll give him one ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Reyes arched a brow and shook his head glad he was not dealing with that mess and kinda glad he and Lark's room were in a whole different part of the house which he currently headed towards intent on avoiding the whole mess as much as he could. Maddy was furious, and wounded, and he just wanted to pace his room which is what he was doing until he heard the growl and he did pull back a bit from the wolf, it was just instinct. He opened his mouth to speak twice but was shut down so he just shut up and listened. He looked down at the ground the whole time and when he looked up his eyes were bright blue, cold, the eyes of one who had taken an innocent life but they were full of anger. He stalked in closer and kept the alpha's gaze and for once Maddy didn't look like a kid ,, he looked like an adult ... serious ... but angry-
First of all I didn't go there to do anything. I went there to talk with Phrix ... to talk about how hurtful it is to lose a fox so close to our territory and he looked at me like I was intruding on his and Tris's fucking bonding time as if that fucking bitch is now a saint despite all the shit she's done. All I wanted was to see the kit and he is on the defensive the moment I walk in ... telling me not to wake the fucking baby like I've not taken care of the twins since the moment they were fucking born.
-His eyes narrowed even more but there was hurt in his voice-
I never doubted you and I don't doubt Aiden ... he might be whole again but he isn't now and neither is Phrix and when you were feral you weren't alone with the twins were you and it was dfferent ... cause they were your blood and you've never have hurt them. Aiden is a wolf ... and that baby is a fox ... and he might think it feral or some shit. All I think of is what's best for him and don't you EVER fucking say otherwise cause I grew up in a shitty household ... not your fucking mansion with a whole family that loved you ... I had nothing ... just Lily ... and Cash ... and I just wanted to talk about how WE would all love that baby ... but he doesn't even want to talk about it. Not with me ... just him and fucking Tris ...
-He shook his head slowly grabbing his backpack off the chair brushing past Kael as he looked down-
You just assmued I was the asshole in all of this ... that's how much FAITH you have in me ...
-He closed his eyes before he moved towards the door and when Kael moved towards him he growled low and dangerous-
I'm staying at Lily's tonight ... and don't fucking stop me. You're not alpha of me ... so pull that shit on the rest of the pack. I'll be back tomorrow and you can make all the decision you want ...

~Phrix nodded at that and sighed as Aiden tried to comfort him. He let the wolf lead him to bed, to exhausted, mentally and emotionally to really do anything other than sleep. They'd figure it out in the morning. For now, he just wanted to wrap up in Aiden and pretend his friend didn't think he was this broken wreck of a creature. It hurt to know that it probably wasn't just Maddy that felt that way. That the others probably did as well and what did that say about him? What did they expect? And honestly, his grief wasn't going to stop him for taking care of that child. He was still functioning, right?
________________________________________________________
Stop, Maddox.
~When Maddy pulled from him, the wolf was suddenly blocking his exit, staring down at him.~
Stop... don't just walk out on this.
~He sighed, really studying the fox. He didn't dare touch him, instead he just took a step in closer, holding his hands out in a complacent way.~
We're all on edge. This... it's the second time in a couple of weeks, less so, that the vampires have crossed a line. I don't want to fight with you, not right now. And I certainly don't want to fight with you about this kid. And I doubt Phrix wants to fight with you either. Don't roll your eyes... listen to what I'm saying to you and try and put your anger away.
~He took a step the side.~
Stay... and talk to me, Maddy. I can't work this out if you run off and hide from me.
~He sighed as he said that. Kael waited a moment before he slipped away to sit on the foot of the bed, letting Maddy make up his own mind what he wanted to do. He could only hope that the fox would relent and come and sit and talk to him. He needed Maddy, but he knew that this, whatever this was, Maddy was feeling jealous and hurt. Kael wanted to be there for the fox, to let him know that he'd always listen to him. When Maddy didn't move right away, Kael spoke.~
I don't always have to agree with what you say and do Maddy, but it doesn't mean I won't listen to you and be there for you. I just... I need you to explain to me what's going on in your head.

-Maddox growled a bit when his exit was blocked, his eyes flashed icy blue, until the alpha stepped back-
I am listening ... that's the problem ... you're not listening ...
-He hesitated still wanting to leave but he glanced back watching Kael move back to the bed. He turned and slipped back letting out a breath as he closed the gap between them a touch but he didn't sit or touched him. He stood in front of him-
You can disagree with me when you know what went down. It doesn't bother me you stand against me on something ... we disagree all the fucking time. The problem is you came in .. saw me and Phrix fighting and you assumed I did shit wrong ... that's what hurt me Kaelan ...
-He relented and moved in closed touching Kael's cheek before burying against him as he slipped on his lap-
I fucked things up a little. I didn't mean to hurt his feelings ... I know Phrix could take care of the kit ... I just ... I didn't want to feel like another uncle to another baby. I wanted to discuss ... he and Aiden are dealing with stuff ... we're not ... why couldn't it be ours?

I didn't assume anything, Maddy. You were being a dick. I'm not saying that Phrix wasn't, though.
~He sighed as Maddy crawled into him, straddling him, his hands immediately going to Maddy's hips. His head cocked up when Maddy spoke. He sighed just a little bit, closing his eyes.~
Because that kit isn't ours, and he's not Phrix's either. I don't want you or Phrix getting your hopes up. I want you to focus on us finding out whom he belongs too, so that we can get him back to his family. Someone out there has to be looking for him, or her.
~Kael took a deep breath. He could tell this was going to be an on going fight. And then he pulled Maddy just a bit closer, his hand coming to cup the fox's cheek.~
Maddy....
~He sighed a bit and then he pulled him in, kissing him a bit roughly before pulling back.~
I can't... I don't know how you... I don't even know what to do or how to change how you feel about your place with the cubs. But listen to me, I do not look at you like you are their uncle. You are my mate, makes you their parent. And when you are out of high school and are really completely ready, we will find a surrogate, another fox if you want. I mean that, when you are ready, I'll do whatever it takes. In the mean time, I can't raise those cubs on my own. And they honestly like you better than me.
~Kael could still feel the bit of tension between them, knew that it wasn't going to go away, not yet, not until whatever happened with this child came to an end, however that was.~

-Maddox's eyes narrowed but he didn't say anything when he was told he was acting like a dick. He buried a bit into the wolf and nuzzled into him. He laid his head on his shoulder and stared off as he spoke frowning ... -
I am not their parent. I love them ... but ... you ... and Tris. Probably even Luke ... I'm just like anyone else in the house to them.
-He frowned softly looking off, a few tears clouding his eyes before he blinked them away-
I never wanted a pack .. or an alpha ... and now I still feel like I'm just your side piece sometimes. I know it's crazy but I feel ...replaceble ... like if you got tired of me maybe ... any wolf could take my place ... maybe Cash would miss be but we'd still be friends but who else would ... care
-He pulled back and cupped the wolf's face-
I feel that kit belongs to us ... I need you to back me up on this Kael ... please ...

~Kael frowned deeply and then he lifted Maddy's chin as the fox made that plea. He stared at him for a moment and then sighed.~
Maddy...
~He sighed a little defeated, head falling forward as he lay against the fox's shoulder.~
I don't know how to make you... Maddy, no one, ever could replace you. Not ever. You're my mate, you're mine. And I'm yours. I thought, after all this time, that you'd know that. I don't know how many times I have to tell you that. And I can't make you love the twins as yours, but I think of you are their parent and I think everyone in the pack thinks of you as theirs. Everyone differs to you when we have them. But if you don't feel that way, then I can't make you.
~He frowned at that, lifting his head and staring up at the fox then, not sure how to convey how he feels about him. He doesn't know how to make Maddy understand him. And then that request falls and Kael groans. And he realizes, he could just do this, demand the kit be theirs and it would make Maddy happy, make him feel like that he was wanted. That Kael would do anything for his happiness. And the rest of the pack, well, they'd look at him differently, wouldn't they? They'd see this as weak and wrong. He was quiet for a moment and then he sighed.~
Can we just... can we just try and find his family. And not make any decisions....
~He cuts himself as he realizes what he's saying.~
I have to choose now, because you don't want Phrix to get attached to him in that way, to have him at all. Because he will, won't he? He'll keep that kit as his until we find his family...
~Resignation hit Kael like a punch to the gut. And in all honesty, he didn't know what to do or say. Then he took a breath.~
Before I make any decisions, I want you to talk to Phrix first and see where he's coming from. And I'm going to talk to Aiden. And I want you to honestly think about what you are asking. Not just about taking that kid in, but what you are asking me to do and how this is going to effect everyone. Not just you and me or even Phrix and Aiden, but the entire pack. I'm not trying to start a fight, Maddy. I'm just telling you how I feel and what I have to consider and I want you to make the decision for me. Once you've talked to Phrix and then really thought about it, then I'll do whatever you want, okay?
~It wasn't really fair to put that on the fox. But he was hoping that Maddy would think about it, and would see how this decision could and would affect the entire pack, possibly breaking it apart, but certainly causing hard feelings and the unity they had here.~

-Maddy wound his arms around Kaelan and stared off before he frowned listening to him. He smiled a touch when he said he couldn't be replaced. He frowned as he pulled back a touch suddenly interrupting him-
I DO love them as mine ... I do ... I just ... I wish I could make more decisions about them. But I can't ... not really ... Tris is their mother and she's in charge of them and I get it ... but no ... I love them Kaelan ... I do ... I'd ... it'd hurt so badly if I lost them ...
-He frowned a bit shaking his head. He pulled back a touch and stayed quiet before he stared at Kaelan for a bit ... -
I ... don't want to hurt the pack ... or Phrix. He's lost a lot ...
-He was tired a bit then as he pushed off the wolf's lap and lay on the bed staring up at the ceiling. He didn't know what to do, he wanted the kit, but he could see a long line of destruction if he fought for him. He wasn't sure he wanted to talk with Phrix yet but he knew he had to. He frowned a touch. Had he really hurt him? He knew why he'd gotten angry, it hadn't really been about the kit, though he wanted one, he wanted something to share between just him and Kaelen, but he realized it was still more about Tris and Kaelan and that he did feel like a third wheel because those kinds of issues and feelings didn't just fade cause you wanted them to fade and they always had so much shit to deal with he never had time to really focus and heal-
