"C'mon Ethan. Its time to wake up!" Hale said loudly as he rolled off his bed which made Ethan let out a groan of protest from the sudden lost of heat. "I'm going to go shower and when I get back you better be up." He stated before entering the bathroom which was connected to his room.

'Is he really waking me up during my beauty sleep?' Mason complained tiredly.

'Why do you need beauty sleep for? Your just a voice inside my head.' Ethan asked in confusion.

'A voice that sounds beautiful.' He stated, exaggerating the beautiful part.

'More like annoying.' Ethan scoffed as he rolled his eyes.

'Excuse you sir.' Mason gasped in offence. 'You should feel honored that I, The Marvelous Mason! Is blessing your ears with my wonderful and amazing voice!' He exclaimed dramatically which made Ethan roll his eyes again. He was going to respond but was interrupted by a real wonderful and amazing voice.

"Ethan why are you still sleeping?" Hale asked as he walked into the room after spending ten minutes in the shower. "You have to wake up." He says as he threw on a shirt. He was already wearing pants when he came out.

Ethan let out an annoyed grumble as he dug his noes onto the blanket, completely ignoring him.

"Cmon pup." Hale says as he picked Ethan up from the warm and comfy bed and onto the cold, cold floor.

Ethan let out a childish whine as he tried to crawl his way back onto bed only for Hale to push him aside so that he could make it. Ethan glared daggers at the back of Hales head while the man made the bed before deciding to just lay on the floor where he could try and find a place comfortable enough to at least take a nap.

"Do you know whats so special about today?" Hale asked.

'Is it the end of the world?' Mason asked blankly.

'Wow. When did you become an emo?' Ethan snickered.

"Today we're going to see Emerson." Hale smiled.

Ethan gave Hale a look that basically said 'you woke me up because of that!?'. You see the two saw Emerson regularly for Ethans daily checkup or whenever he needed to change his dirty bandages for clean new ones so seeing him isn't something new to Ethan.

"Let me elaborate." Hale chuckled omce he noticed Ethans facial expression. "This will be the last time we will have to see Emerson about your legs."

Ethan instantly perked up and let out a small yip of excitement. Once the bandages were gone he and Hale would be able to play a lot more.

"Now let's put some food into our bellies." Ethan barked in response as he trailed behind Hale who was leading them into the kitchen where a very depressed Liam sat.

"Morning." Liam mumbled as he sprayed wiped cream into his mouth.

"Bark!" Ethan replied as he jumped onto the chair next to him.

"How was your morning?" Hale asked with a small smirk as begun making some eggs and bacon.

"Just f_cking wonderful." Liam responded with so much sarcasm.

"I see your still not over the fact that Jared is gone." Hale chuckled as he watch the boy walk over to the fridge where he opened it up before slamming it closed once he had grabbed the milk container.

Jared was sent to a pack that was very far from this pack to do some pack business while Liam was forced to stay here. Ethan didn't know what had happened but apparently Liam and Jared were doing it all over Hales desk and it upsetted Hale very much that he ended up burning his desk till it was nothing but ashes and smoke before sending Jared away for a few days.

"You sent him away on purpose you f_cker." Liam growled before he slumped onto the fridge sadly. "I just want my Jared back!" He cried as he banged his head onto the fridge.

"Maybe you should stop having s_x on my things and learn how to do it in your bedroom or better yet in a hotel so no one has to come home and stand on 'whipped cream' that someone had left on the floor." Hale sneered sarcastically. "Next time I catch you doing nasty stuff on my things I won't be buying you a plane ticket to Mexico I'll just kick your ass to Mexico." Hale threatened as he pushed a plate of bacon and eggs towards Ethan who instantly dug in.

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah." Liam sighed glumly as he took a big chug from the milk carton.

"Don't drink straight from the d_mn carton, Liam!" Hale scolded as Liam wiped away his milk mustache before putting the milk back where it came from.

"Shut up Hale. I'm depressed and h_rny so leave me alone." He muttered as he shuffled back upstairs.

"Why couldn't Jared be mated to someone who wasn't Liam ?" Hale asked to himself.

"I heard that jerk!" Liam shouted from the staircase.

"You were suppose to!" Hale shouted back. "Now let's finish up so we can see Emerson okay.

"Bark!"

The two quickly finished up their breakfast before they headed to the car where Hale drove them to Emersons house since it was his day off.

After arriving to the house Emerson invited the pair inside before leading Ethan to an examination room he had in his house for occasions like these. Once he and Emerson were inside Emerson closed the door with Hale on the other side before he begun to remove the bandages.

"How do you feel?" Emerson asked after removing all of the bandages from both of Ethan's two back legs.

Ethan stretched out his limbs before letting out a delighted yip after feeling no pain in his two back legs so he begun trotting around the room out of happiness. Seconds later that trott turned into a jog and seconds after that he was running and after that he was full on sprinting around the room.

Now since the room he was in was particularly small Ethan had been accidentally bumping into things and knocking things off of their shelves but he was to happy to notice.

"Okay. Okay. Ethan." Emerson chuckled. "You can calm down now." Ethan stopped in his tracks and saw that he had trashed the place.

He looked at Emerson and gave him an a apologetic smile.

"Its okay. You just got a little excited." Emerson waved off with a small laugh. "Now let's have a closer look on your legs."

Ethan walked over to Emerson and allowed the doctor to examine his legs while he waited obediently. Emerson smiled lightly before examining Ethans legs. He felt around the muscle that had been injuried before he stretched both of them out one by one to see how they reacted. Emerson didn't see anything serious so he stood up and invited Hale in.

"Woah. What happened in here did you two have a party or something?" Hale asked after seeing the state the room was in. "Anyways how is? Is he okay?"

"He sure is. Besides the scarring that will fade away with time he should be just fine." Emerson answered as he started picking up all the things that were scattered all over the floor.

"Sounds great." Hale smiled as he smoothened the top of Ethan head affectionately. "Thanks for everything Emerson."

"No problem." Emerson smiled. "Hopefull I don't see this little cutie anytime soon." He says as he placed all of his things back to their rightful places.

"Hopefully." Hale chuckled. "Well I better get going. I have a meeting to go to and I have to drop this one home so I'll see you whenever one of us are at the verge of death." Hale joked.

"Okay." Emerson chuckled.

The two said their goodbyes while Ethan barked before the two left Emerson house to go to Hales car but as they two were entering the car Hales named could be heard. Ethan looked behind him to see Bradley-or Blade.

"Hello my gay little brother." Blade smiled as he walked over to us.

"Hello my sh_thead of a brother." Hale scowled back. "What do you want? Shouldn't you be back at your own pack?"

"Well, yeah but I wanted to see how my little brother was and how he was handling things around here." Blade answered. "Plus I have a few things to do while I was in town." He then added afterwards.

"Like what? Actually finding your mate?" Hale asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't need to find my mate. I'm pretty content with my life right now." He mumbled with crossed arms. "Anyways I need a place to stay and since we're brothers it only seems logical that I stay with you."

"What? Why? Can't you just stay at mom and dads house?" Hale asked.

"She told me that I had to stay with you so we can 'bond' somemore or some sh_t." Both Hale and Blade cringed when Blade said the word bond. "Apparently since I'm always at my pack we barely see each other so with me staying with you we'll somehow get closer."

"But I don't want you to stay over at my place." Hale groaned childishly.

"Well neither do I." Bradley huffed as he crossed his arm over his chest.

"Look." Hale started. "We're going back to the house do you want to come or something?" Hale asked as he messaged the bridge of his nose.

"Sadly. Yes." Bradley sighed as he ran a hand down his face.

Ethan jumped into the car when Hale had opened the door for him before it was shut as Hale walked over to the drivers seat. Bradley opened the back door and sat at the back while Hale started the car.

"Just so you know your sleeping on the couch." Hale stated as he drove home.

"Just so you know you're gay."
