Josh's Point of View.

Nerves. I could feel them all over my body. Not mine obviously, I'm just filling out some paperwork, but what is my mate doing or thinking about that is causing her to be nervous? Her mind block is up or I'd break into her mind. That wolf, always on the defensive. I can't wait till we get back to our pack house. Ever since she became Luna we've been so busy with pack work.

So busy with disrespect, and visitors it's hard to see one another. Jax is constantly calling out for her, constantly wanting to touch her and the fact that we haven't been able to… well let's just say I'm not Josh anymore. My name now is 'human'.

Petty human, is one of his favorite set of words. Even though, I'm far from petty. He's just mad because I've been telling him no when we can't go see Maya. Out of nowhere, my throat feels like it's closing up. I can still breathe, it is constricting but I'm able to inhale. Which means it isn't coming from me. 'Warrior Ryder! You better have a damn good reason as to why my mate isn't breathing.'

Sprinting out of the office, I rush downstairs. 'Clearing. In front of the pack house. Alpha William said not to touch her.'

Picking up my pace I rush outside. Slamming the double doors open, blonde hair standing on edge as it flies every direction. Head falling backwards, eyes fluttering and a small glow radiating off of her. Alpha William is grasping her hand. "GET AWAY FROM MY MATE!" All warriors and Farkle flank me as I rush to my mate. Lifting her in my arms and away from William, I'm relieved to feel the sparks. All my wolves growling at the male who hurt her. She seems completely dazed. "Baby girl are you okay?"

'Mate smells different.'

Growling, I glance at William who's beaming proudly. Looking at my female with pride, that's my fucking job. 'What do you mean? She still smells like Maya.'

"You did that for a reason."

'Of course she smells like Maya, human. She's still our mate, but there's something-I can't put my nose on it.'

"Did what? What did he do to you Maya?" If someone doesn't start answering my questions I'm going to get angry fast. Trying to make her look at me, she refuses. Why won't she look at me? Why is she looking at William? What did he do to our mate?! SHE'S MINE! "Look at me!" I command, no way around that. Even with her Alpha blood, she's submitted to being my Luna.

Growling lightly, I know she doesn't appreciate the order. First and hopefully last time I'll use it on her. "I'm fine Josh. Let me do something, you can hold my hand if you'd like." She tries to reassure me, she even puts on a smile. This female.

"NO! What did he do to you? Are you okay?"

Turning her gaze towards that Alpha again she's waiting for permission and gets it with a small nod. "He gave me the gift of sight."

"WHAT?!" A thunderous roar vaporizing from deep within side me. A new found hate for this man is forming within me, slowly and dangerously creeping its way to the surface. Maya is desperately trying to get me to calm down. Telling me to breathe, but I can't even look at anyone else right now besides the old man in front of me. Jax is slowly taking control, breaking down the walls and barriers I've put up for him.

Releasing Maya from my grasp I stalk towards Alpha William. I vaguely hear my mate tell the warriors to hold me down before I'm tackled to the grass. Apologies flying around me for man handling their Alpha. The old man, stares down at me with amusement dancing in his eyes. Fingers turning to claws as I gaze at the man who sees no wrong in what he just did. Blonde hair blocks my view, soft hands cupping my face, a sweet scent enveloping me. "JAX!" He's right on the surface and my mate knows it, "Give Josh control, now." She speaks dangerously slow, her icy orbs penetrating me to the very depths of my core.

Slowly the fur that's sprouted starts to recede. My claws turn back to fingers, and now Jax is whining that mate's mad… again. One warrior on each of my limbs, all I have to do is give them a glance and they're off of me. My mate clutches my chin and pulls me down to her lips, a light tender kiss. She's trying to relax me even more, pulling away she gives me a small smile. "Stay with me human."

Jax snorts at her joke but I see nothing funny about this situation. My gaze flipping to William, a glare so intense that even I notice the slight tremor that he hides. "You." Maya stands in front of him, guarding him for whatever the reason. "YOU PUT MY MATE IN DANGER!"

"I did no such thing son, I've been a seer for slightly over a hundred years and never had an incident. Just keep it a secret if you are so worried." Light hearted, the exact opposite way of what I'm feeling.

"My mate's safety is no joking matter! SECRETS ALWAYS REVEAL THEMSELVES!"

A hand placed on my chest, I didn't even realize how close I had got. "Josh, you need to calm down."

"FARKLE! TAKE HER!" Time to end old man.

Eyes darting from me to Farkle and back again. Shifting from the amber orbs back to her natural blue. "Don't. You. Dare." She warns and takes a step towards me. Instinctively I take a step back. Eyes flashing, a smile exposing her canines. Amber's out to play, she's showing us what we'll have to get through to contain her and Jax is loving the challenge. "Mate wants us away?" She growls and inches forward, claws elongating. "Mate can do it himself."

"Why are you defending him? HE KNOWINGLY PUT YOU IN DANGER!"

"Family." One word, and Jax completely recedes into the back of my mind. She doesn't have any and if Alpha William is family then I surely cannot harm him, that would devastate her.

Jax may have relaxed knowing we can't do any harm however her safety lingers by a thin thread should anyone find out about her new ability. Stepping forward, hands in surrender only now do I realize my warriors are on a bent knee. "We won't hurt family." No room for argument there, my words are oozing with finality. "Maya-"A low rumble from her chest, "Amber. Amber do you realize how sought after seers are? Do you realize that if anyone finds out what you are that anyone will do anything to get to you? Wars could be over before they are even started, understand Amber why I'm upset and bring me back Maya."

Lowering her gaze, eyes squeezed together. She's fighting for control with Maya. We all stand patiently, Alpha William watches her with a curious demeanor, if he wasn't family his throat would be thrown across the yard. She's already in enough danger as is, and now this shit. "How is it that you can pass on the gift of sight? How did you get it? Seers are born."

Smiling lightly he steps forward, "That's true. They are born, however I was given this gift by a seer who no longer wanted the power. She was tired of hiding."

Running my hands frustratingly through my hair, my mate still trying to regain control. Amber's putting up a fight for some reason. "You just said she was tired of hiding. You've now doomed that life to my mate, and your-"Trailing off I'm not even sure how they're related.

"Granddaughter." He fills in the blank for me.

Awesome. Fucking granddaughter. "Are you related to that bastard Kermit? If so, consider yourself dead."

The smile on his face disappears in an instant. Anger, sadness and disappointment flashes in his eyes. "No, I'm her mother's father." I can't even imagine having to deal with the death of your pup. That would destroy a large piece of you, though your mate dying would break you entirely. Some wolves dying, others turning feral.

"Did you really try to get us out?"

His face softening, lips twitching upward. Clearly forced, he's still thinking about his daughter. "Yes little Luna. We did, once your mother finally admitted the truth she was willing to take the risk of her wolf dying completely to get you out of that hell." She'd kill her wolf to cut off the mate bond, to make Kermit think she was dead to get Maya to safety.

Pulling Maya into my arms, her hand on my back and my hands around her waist. I can feel her pain, even with her walls up. That's how I know she's really hurting, the loss of a mother is always hard. The loss of her mother, the woman who tried to protect her, the woman Maya tried to protect-Maya feels like she failed in doing so. "It's not your fault beautiful."

She doesn't say anything, but I know she doesn't believe me. "Alpha William, why did you give her the gift of sight? Did you just not want the burden anymore and decided to pass it off to the one person who has too much on her plate already? What can she see anyways? One or all?"

Stepping forward, eyes narrowing. I must have insulted him. "Do not think for one second pup, that I would lightly give my granddaughter this burden." Putting Maya behind me, I face him head on. "You have no idea what all happened in that hell that she went through. She is so much stronger than you give her credit for. She can not only see the future but she can look into people. When the time comes she will get answers from those who refused to give them to her. When the time comes where her bastard of a father decides to make a move, she'll know it. She can live in peace until that time. Do not question me and my decisions, I'm very much aware of what I've done."

"Then you are aware she will be on top of everyone's kidnap list. You just put your granddaughter in even greater danger. I will question any decision if it involves my mate, especially when not done in consent. It is my responsibility to watch over and protect her, she's done it for herself long enough. What good can come of this?"

"Maya and I have discussed that she needs to heal emotionally from what happened."

"When she's ready." I argue, "This is your first time meeting her and you run around making decisions for her that could potentially ruin any progress she's made on her own. Yes, she will find answers when the time comes but she will also find out things that she won't like that's almost a guarantee. You have no right to take away her decision!"

"HEY! I'M RIGHT HERE!" Stifling a laugh I turn to face my mate. Eyes slightly red but clearly frustrated. Taking a step forward, I possessively wrap my arm around her. "Yes this may be a little dangerous-"I can't help but snort at that, she has no idea. "Yes I will receive answers I don't like but I'll also find the answers I've wanted for so long. Why did he hurt us? Why did he kill my mother? Why was he forcing me to marry someone before I'd even met my mate? And I'll know when he makes a move, which can only help save lives of our pack Josh."

The sound of a throat clearing catches my attention, Farkle takes a step forward and bows his head respectively. "Alpha if I may?"

Always the voice of reason, "You may."

"Thank you. If my mate had the option to get answers for what was done to her, she would. You have the entire pack to protect her and our Luna can kick some ass." I hate the thought of her fighting, even if it's true. "Besides, he can't take the gift of sight back. I propose we keep this between us. Alpha order everyone-myself included, to not utter a word to ensure finality. You can trust your warriors, but why run the risk of hurting Luna?"

Glancing down at my mate, she's already staring up at me with eagerness in her eyes. "I need a list of people who knew about your ability. Also, I need you to explain in detail how to control this power to her. I don't want her to have any surprises and get hurt."

"Done."

"Farkle, go upstairs and finish the paperwork with the Beta. Warrior Ryder and Warrior Colt, start packing the cars and prepare for our leave." A symphony of 'yes Alpha's' and everyone takes their leave. "Alpha William you have an hour."

"I won't even need 10 minutes." He states with a satisfactory smile. Stupid old man. "Walk with me little Luna?"

Holding out his arm, she takes it without hesitation. The chant 'they're related' is continuously running through my mind. None the less I don't appreciate another male touching what's mine. You know what, "No. Nope. And I'm not apologizing." Taking her arm away from him, I intertwine our fingers. "Family or not, mated or not I'm already losing my shit here because of what he did. So you're stuck with me." Standing on her tippy toes, she pecks my cheek.

'Thank you for understanding'

'I'm not happy about it'

"Now Maya, as previously mentioned looking into someone's mind is pretty simple. Hand to hand contact." So does that mean she can see into my mind now? "If you wish to not gaze into the inner workings of some individuals simply put up a barrier like you do for mind-link or for your wolf." Simple enough. "If you wish for someone to see inside of your mind, inside your past-which I don't recommend. You place the individual's forehead against yours, your palms on their temple."

Where the hell is the catch this is too simple? Maya seems to agree because she shows no sign of excitement. "Future. Seeing the future is unpredictable, unexpected and quite frankly hard to understand." There it is. "Triggers. You could see someone, touch something, smell anything and that could trigger a prediction. And that's what the future is… it's a prediction. Say you get a vision that your father will attack a week from now, as long as you continue that same course of action then you have nothing to worry about the vision will remain the same. However, any little thing can change the outcome of your vision."

"Can I even trust these visions? They seem so finicky."

Nodding his head in agreement, he places his hands behind his back as we continue to walk the pack grounds. I may hate this wolf for what he's done to my mate, but that doesn't mean he isn't wise. The way he carries himself says it all. "They are. Take each vision with a grain of salt, you'll have to analyze it before you decide whether or not to change whatever path you may be going down. When you start playing with the future-things may not always go the way the Moon Goddess destined for them to."

"So that's it?" I snap, "She can get these visions at any time caused by anything but we can't necessarily trust them?" She tightens her grip on my hand, chastising me for being hateful.

"Yes Alpha Josh. Ultimately that is how it works, I will always be a phone call away should she have any questions."

Yeah like I'd want her talking to the man who forced this responsibility upon her. Though I know we're going to need some help. There's no way I can protect her fully, or understand what she's going through or what she's seen without him. Unfortunately. "My visions. Is it like in Twilight with Alice where it's just pictures flashing through my eyes or-"

Shaking his head, his brows are furrowed. Clearly he has no idea what Twilight is. I figured not, "I'm not sure what you're speaking of my dear. But no, your spirit will travel. This is very important Maya." Stopping entirely and facing towards my mate, his eyes wide with worry. "Your body has never been without spirit. The first few trips will have to be short, you'll start to feel tired and that's when you need to release your hold on the future."

Tilting her head to the side, she's processing the information. "So basically as soon as I start feeling tired in my vision I should will my spirit back to my body?"

"Yes. The consequences are dire. Do not force yourself to stay!"

I freaking hate this. Asshole. "What are the consequences?" I all but growl out, yet I'm still feeling my bones rolling from her grip. William glances at the ground, and I find myself menacingly stepping forward. "What. Are. The consequences?"

"Depends on how long she's forcing herself to stay in." He tries to continue our walk but I grab the collar of his shirt. My eyes screaming for him to 'answer me'. "I may be old but I'm still an Alpha pup. You'd be wise to put me down."

"And you'd be wise to answer my question. You've done enough for today. Answer the question and we will take our leave."

Tightening my grip on his shirt, I don't miss the Power Pack wolves rushing to aid their Alpha. His eyes glaze over and they take a few steps back-but are still defensive. "Josh, let him go and he'll answer."

Maya. She's going to be the death of me. Releasing my hold on his shirt, I step back and hold my gaze with him. "Your body can't live without a spirit. The longest I've been out is an hour and a minute longer I could have died. That was just last week."

'If you punch him, you declare war on him. Calm down.'

Her mind-link does little to comfort me. Yes, her voice helps but I have to get out of here now. "Thank you for your hospitality." I growl out and lift Maya in my arms before walking to the car. "I know you can walk but don't ask me to put you down or I'll lose my mind."

Jax is scratching at the mental wall I put up. Letting it down for one second and I hear, 'Mate won't die. No visions. Mate can't die. Save mate human!'

'YOU'RE ACTING AS IF THIS IS MY FAULT WOLF!'

'If you had been with mate she wouldn't have gotten powers.'

Growling to myself I'm about to reply when Maya pipes in. 'Jax be nice to Josh! This isn't his fault!'

Rolling on his back with his ears pulled down, that wolf cannot take any scolding from our mate. Not that I can either, it tears me apart when she's mad. Which is why I always have Capri-Sun on me. Stepping towards the SUV's, Farkle and Smackle along with 2 warriors are waiting outside their SUV while Warrior Ryder and Warrior Xavier take the lead car. Setting Maya in the passenger's seat, I hear her huff when I buckle her seat belt. It makes Jax feel better. Leaning over to peck her lips, the mere thought of her possibly dying because her spirit is out in the future is killing me.

Slamming the door shut I stomp to the driver's side. Farkle's mind linked me stating he has the paperwork regarding our terms and conditions for them staying on our land. Gripping her hand tightly in my own, we drive off back home. The ride is silent, she knows I need time to process everything and she does too whether she wants to admit it or not.

My mate is an Alpha's daughter.

My mate's father is abusive.

My mate has an arranged marriage.

My mate is a seer.

Things just got even more interesting. The wolves that escorted us off the land just fell off as we passed the territory line. We're in no man's land at this point, another hour and we'll be back in our territory. 20 minutes and we'll be out of the wooded area and onto the highway. Bringing her hand up to my lips, giving her a small smile. I'm beginning to calm down, I can't change what's happened. "Maya, baby I'm-"

Eyes widening she's not looking at me, she's looking behind me. Glancing out at the road one more time, I'm wondering what's wrong. "JOSH LOOK OUT!"
