Shadow entered Amelio's room carefully immediately getting overwhelmed with his strong scent, but he knew he had to be careful the minute he saw Max's busted up face. He got a call from his boyfriend's mother, at first it was polite chatting before a crash could be heard on the other end. Shadow asked what was that, his voice filled with obvious concern. His boyfriend's mother laughed and told him it was just Amelio on his rut. "Could you come over? I forgot that's why I called you in the first place!" Shadow sighed in annoyance.

Sometimes the Wilde family weren't the smartest bunch. So when Shadow came and knocked on the door, only to be greeted by Max's bruised face? His heart soared and all he could think about, right then and there was, 'My alpha is so strong' he mentally cursed himself out as Jerry pulled him in. "Amelio is in his room. He didn't have the urge to hurt his mommy" he smiled at Shadow. Shadow, upon realizing, is now noticing the calm pheromones in the air. Which was probably what was keeping Max at bay instead of going upstairs and challenging the young alpha.

So again, here was Shadow. Slowly walking around his Alpha's room. Of course he was an alpha himself, at first things didn't seem like Amelio and him would end up together, but fate is a cruel mistress.

They absolutely hated each other at first and it only worsened in highschool when they realized they were soulmates. They're scents immediately intertwined with each other and Amelio had to cut things off with his then beta boyfriend. Shadow had a mid-life crisis and even holed himself up in his room, cussing out fate. They were rivals not soulmates! They were enemies not lovers! Eventually his older brother had to coax him out and his family decided to sit him down with Amelio and "talk it out".

They talked it out alright, right against the smashed coffee table and the ripped up couch. They were covered with bruises and were snarling at each other, Shadow was literally choking Amelio out and Felix, his mother, had to step in. Afterwards it got worse before it got better. The constant bickering, the teasing, bullying and of course constant fighting. Allie couldn't stand all the fighting, it was exhausting the poor omega who constantly had to keep releasing calm pheromones. Even Koda was exasperated that he kept having to break the two alpha's up. Good thing they both considered him, the head alpha of their small pack.

Things looked like nothing would ever change between the two, until they did. Who changed it? Amelio of course. When Shadow greeted him by slamming him against the locker and gripped his hair roughly, he grabbed Shadow by his face and kissed him. Something changed with the kiss and Shadow soon learned Amelio likes it rough. Was their fighting, their way of flirting? Amelio thought so and sooner or later, Shadow did too. Whenever they fought, it ended with one of them biting their partner's neck, close to their gland, but not quite there yet. Whenever they bickered, Amelio would throw out a 'babe' 'honey' 'hot stuff' in it somewhere, causing Shadow to fluster up and stutter on whatever come back he was gonna give.

Shadow eventually started flirting back and Amelio was ecstatic. They started having less fights and found comfort in each other. They suffered through their hardships and went out on dates. Allie and Koda couldn't be happier with them and they were each rewarded with a kiss. Shadow easily got flustered and held Amelio's hand, Amelio easily squeezed his hand happily, intertwining their fingers together.

Now the thing about their relationship. They never fully went all the way. They talked about it, but they truly never went past kissing, handjobs or blowjobs. They got handsy, sure they fiddled around before, but never fully penetration. So when Shadow entered Amelio's room, his heart started thumping and it only grew louder as he noticed Amelio stir from his bed. Amelio sat up and growled at the potential intruder, interrupting his nap. He clearly had cuts and bruises on his face, possibly from challenging his dad. Shadow growled back warningly out of reflex, but it stopped Amelio nonetheless. Amelio's eyes opened wide and his lips formed a smile.

"Alpha!" his voice came out and Shadow felt his heart hammer in his chest, he loved it when Amelio used his alpha voice. "Alpha" Shadow replied easily and didn't miss the way Amelio shuddered. Soon Amelio was on his feet and they both stared at each other. Amelio's scent was overpowering, but he wouldn't buckle down that easily and it looked like Amelio wouldn't either. Shadow smirked as his heart thumped louder, 'This is my favorite part' he thought to himself as he readied his stance. They love fighting each other for dominance, so now they get to see who'll truly win.
