*Tharn's POV*

"I don't think is a good idea," Tar says timidly. The dark shadows covering his face can't conceal how nervous he is about this whole thing.

"It'll be fine," Techno waves him off. "There hasn't been an attack in three weeks. And I'm sick of being cooped up."

"Still... aren't we going to get in trouble?"

Team snorts. "Who's gonna get us in trouble? We have our future Alphas with us."

"Yeah, if anyone is gonna get yelled at, it's those two," Champ adds with a grin.

I roll my eyes. "One hour. We're only leaving the pack for one hour and coming right back. We don't know what Zen is planning, and it would be dangerous to stay out longer than that."

"I still don't like this," Tar whispers, chewing his bottom lip nervously. Tum wraps his arms around the smaller boy and pulls him close.

"It'll be fine, baby," Tum says reassuringly. "I'll be by your side the whole time. Trust me."

Tar looks up at Tum's smiling face, unable to argue upon seeing how happy his mate looks. Tar's shoulders relax as he caves with a nod.

After bribing the guards with a generous amount of cash, we're able to quietly sneak off of pack grounds. Type and I take the lead, hand in hand, with Lhong and Thorn close behind. Tar sticks like glue to Tum's side, but the older boy doesn't seem to mind one bit as he just snuggles Tar closer. Champ, Team, and Techno can't seem to stop giggling with excitement, earning a few warning glares from Type to quiet down.

We choose to walk, knowing it would be easier to sneak around in the darkness without a car. After three weeks of being forbidden to leave the pack, we were all pretty much losing our minds. All of us are fairly social, so being trapped in the confines of the pack has proven to be a struggle. The three stooges — that is, Champ, Team, and Techno — begged for me to help them sneak out for a night. I reluctantly agreed, only because Type wanted a night out too. Of course, the others ended up hearing about it, leading to our large group heading out together.

It takes us a while to walk to the nearest town. Once the streetlights are in view, Tar visibly relaxes. It's late, around ten o'clock at night, so the darkness has undoubtedly added to the edge he has been feeling.

"TWENTY-FOUR HOUR BOWLING!" Champ screams as he points to the sign, earning multiple smacks from Type and Techno.

"Really?" I groan, and Champ nods excitedly. "We only get one hour, and you want to spend it bowling?"

"Please! Please, please, please~" Champ begs, holding my arm and attempting to act adorable. I wrinkle my nose and pull away from his grasp.

"That may work on your mate, but I only find Type adorable," I counter, making Champ pout. "Why don't we pick something everyone wants to do?"

"I wouldn't mind bowling," Team mumbles. Champ beams happily and kisses Team on the cheek.

"I've actually never been bowling," Tar pipes in. Tum looks at him in surprise.

"You've never been bowling?" He questions incredulously. Tar shakes his head. "That's it, I vote for bowling too!"

"What about you two?" I ask Thorn and Lhong. Lhong looks at Thorn patiently.
