Waking up, I'm blinded by the sun. Instantly shutting my eyes again, rolling on my side in a desperate attempt to block out the rays of light. This is why wolves worship the moon! Grainy texture rubbing against my forearm, my lids flutter open again – slowly this time to take in the atmosphere around me.

Sand.

I'm lying on sand. What the hell? I was just in Josh's office! Inhaling deeply, salt and water. The beach. Blades of grass waving in the wind behind me, waves crashing against the water in front of me. It's a beautiful sight. I've never been to a beach, I had always imagined what it would be like but never went out of my way to get here. My toes crunching in the sand beneath me, I can't help but smile – relishing in the place many families visit for vacations. Craning my neck to the left, a wooden sign that desperately needs to be repainted. The suns UV light taking a toll on the worn down red paint.

'LA CASA BEACH.
Welcome home.'

How sweet. I snort and stand up, walking aimlessly to my right along the shore. Giggling and shouting ahead of me, looking up a smile already on my face. "YOU BETTER GET BACK HERE BABY GIRL!" Baby girl? And that sounds an awful lot like Josh. Picking up the pace, I sprint towards the noises. Long blonde hair, dark wet almost black hair with slight red undertones.

That's me and Josh.

Holy shit! I'M IN THE FUTURE! I'M HAVING A VISION!

The trigger was 'La Casa Beach' well, I'll be damned. Riley and Lucas are perched on a towel watching us amused. Riley resting in between his legs while he massages her shoulders. So lovey dovey. I catch sight of Farkle and Smackle walking along the shore line coming towards the group. She's got a few shells in her hands with a smile, a genuine one on her face. A few other families that belong to our pack playing with children making sandcastles. Why did we come here?

A vacation right after we declare war?

Maybe Alpha Allen let us take a break?

Doubtful.

Now that I'm looking at least half of our pack is here those that I can see. Josh is running slower for my sake since apparently I'm still limping. I can't help but smile we're a bunch of cuties. Cory and Topanga begin to saunter towards the group, good they decided to stay. One deep breath and I smell our pack members, obviously. But that isn't the only pack I'm getting a whiff of, rogues… Crescent Moon. Following the scent my head flips towards the tree line. Lucas sits up straighter and gets into a defensive pose in front of Riley whenever a wolf leapt out of the trees, tackling him to the ground.

Riley screams out when another one jumps out, instantly future me shifts apparently not giving a damn about my knee and tackle the wolf away from Riley. Josh growls and after ripping the throat out of the wolf on Lucas he takes on 3 at a time. Riley is gathering up the pups that are playing on the beach and rushing them towards the cars and away from danger. Instinctually running to help I run towards one of the wolves fighting Josh, my hand reaching out to catch his throat in a death grip.

Collapsing into the sand, I realize I just went through him. That makes no sense, I can touch sand and the water against my toes but I can't choke out a wolf. Oh, well this technically hasn't happened yet.

A cool chill creeps through the air, as if eyes are on me when in actuality I'm just my spirit. Standing back up, a pair of amber eyes are on my future self as I snap a wolf's neck. Inhaling deeply, instantly meeting the menacing gaze. The wolf steps out of the tree line. Instantly recognizing the blonde wolf with a black spot on his paw, I growl menacingly. Jerking his head to the side, I don't look away. I know better than that, I'm not going to look away from my enemy.

Did he really think I was an idiot?

Even now in my spirit form I don't look away.

Growling, he does it again. Spinning on my heels to crane my neck, Riley's neck is in a wolf's mouth. Screaming out I try to run to them, but every step is heavy. I'm actually yawning as I run across the sand.

'Dire consequences'

'You must pull yourself out'

This is future, this isn't set. We can change this. Coming to a standstill while I tried not to cry, I will my spirit to rush back to my body. Not quite sure how I'm supposed to do that, but I'm muttering under my breath two words. "Go back." I won't risk my life again.

For Josh.

Josh's Point of View.

Fucking seer.

Mates having a fucking vision.

"HOW DO I WAKE HER UP!?" I growl to Alpha William through the phone who laughs at me?! "I don't see how this is funny! It's been 4 minutes damn it!"

I can tell he's trying to make his laughter die down but she's been through enough this week. I swear it's as if someone's writing a drama filled story starring our life throwing in a million cliffhangers constantly. It gets old. "It doesn't work that way Alpha Josh. When she wakes up she'll be very tired, don't push her too much. She will probably sleep the rest of the day."

I wish I could snap his damn neck. I would have thought she fainted had I not felt the chill of her skin, as soon as I caught her I rushed her to the bed and ordered Lucas to get me some blankets, which according to Alpha William does nothing. "So question her? Don't question her?"

"You won't need to question her."

I wish I could crawl on the bed beside her, she looks so peaceful. Her cheeks missing the light tinge of pink they seem to naturally carry. Brushing my thumb against her creamy soft skin I start to smile. "You're right she'll be itching to tell me."

Humming in agreement, he sighs contently. "Right now, since she's so focused on her father and Alpha Thomas her visions will revolve around them. She will probably get them quite often because war takes planning. As she gets more experienced she can decide what she's looking out for. Right now, it's more or less what occupies her mind."

Just wake up Maya. Please.

I hate this shit.

She's passing this gift off as soon as possible.

That'll be an argument. Staring at her porcelain like, flawless cheeks I notice the natural blush start to take form. I hold in my giggle, because I'm a man and an Alpha but I'm more than relieved my mate's safe. She didn't force herself to stay out longer, giving Lucas a small smile he releases a breath I don't think he realized he was holding.

I did some research the first night we were back, seers are born. As I previously mentioned. Natural born seers can stay out for hours at a time, their bodies are made for living on without a spirit. Yes they are still incredibly tired but they can survive. Alpha William told my mate that he's made it to an hour and he's had the gift for over a hundred years. Passing on the gift doesn't make your body form into what it needs. Yes, we're werewolves and strong.

But there are stipulations to everything.

That's just life.

For example, yes werewolves heal quickly. But look at Maya, Amber was practically dying from the blood loss as she tried to heal Maya. We can die, which makes her spirit traveling to Goddess knows where nerve wracking to say the least. If Maya wasn't supernatural she couldn't survive if the gift were passed onto her, no offense to humans.

Eyelids fluttering open captures my attention, tugging me out of my thoughts. Bright blue eyes greet me and I lie on top of her. "Quit this shit baby girl." Alpha William laughs on the other line.

Eyes wide she glances around the room, getting her bearings again. I can't imagine the confusion she's feeling. "Attacking La Casa beach. Had Riley." And she's gone. Her head falling back onto the pillow she's asleep like she never woke up at all.

"NO!" Standing defensively in front of my mate, I growl lowly to the male who dare yell at my mate… his Luna. "My mate! MINE!"

Tugging at his hair he starts to pace the room, I don't move out of my defensive position. My mate just delivered bad news about his. We don't know details though, not yet. "They're wanting to attack our pack gathering?" Once a year the pack goes to a beach, I guess this year it's La Casa Beach. Basically it's bonding for the pack. "Sick bastard, females and pups." I huff out and sit down in my chair now that Lucas had. But if he was planning on attacking why only 10?

That doesn't make sense. Unless it wasn't an attack but a mission to get in and out.

To get someone out more specifically.

Riley wasn't the one they wanted, but I'm sure they're aware of how much Riley means to Maya. Using her for leverage? I can't think this way, we don't know her vision and I'm sure Alpha William can give us some insight. Both his orbs and mine trained on her. Hoping she'd wake up, "Um. Excuse me?" Damn Alpha William is still there. "Yes I'm still here. Don't stress out, when she wakes up call me immediately and we will talk out her vision."

After mumbling a 'yes' I hang up the phone. Not really knowing how long my mate would be asleep, I just sit beside her. Hasn't she been through enough? Her body was still healing for Goddess sakes and then her soul decides to go take a stroll through the damn future. "So." Glancing at Lucas who hasn't really calmed down but you can tell he's trying to distract himself. "Luna is a seer?"

Freezing entirely, even my breath comes to a steady halt. Actually not steady at all, it was abrupt and obvious through the icy cold silence in the room. "You will speak of this to no one." Using my Alpha tone, immediately he bows his head. I trust Lucas, but I won't risk the life of my mate for a human feeling.

"Of course not Alpha." Thank Goddess my office is soundproof. "H-how? If she was born that way shouldn't we have noticed it by now?"

Taking her hand, inhaling deeply I place a few chaste kisses against her creamy skin. "Her grandfather is Alpha William." We've intentionally left all of this in the dark to even leadership, but if he knows the fact she's a seer then he needs to know the full truth. He doesn't seem surprised, he doesn't even move. "You knew." It wasn't a question, but a statement. "How?" I growl out, he shouldn't know more about my mate then me.

And her, herself.

"After the Luna induction, when you informed every one of her connection to Alpha Kermit I started doing some digging. I just – I don't know why, or wasn't sure what I was looking for. But, I found her mother. Same blonde hair, blue eyes." Maya hardly talked about her mother and I didn't pry because it still seemed that the wound was fresh. Instead of almost 7 plus years ago it was more like 7 days ago. I don't even know at what age she lost her mother. "I wasn't trying to invade Alpha. I honestly think I was doing it to dig up some information on Alpha Kermit."

I find myself wanting to itch a nagging scratch, I'm wanting to tell him to continue so I can know more about my mate's past that she refuses to share with me, but I dare not ask. I don't scratch it. Years of torture and abuse isn't taken away because she rescued herself and because she's happy and safe now. Her nightmare is proof of my logic. She'll tell me when she's ready and no sooner than that, I won't push but I also won't let her think that I'm not curious. I want her to know she doesn't have to handle this burden on her own. Maya's trusted very few people in her life and some have ruined that for her… case and point her father. A child is supposed to trust their father and unfortunately Maya's never had that experience. I want to give that to her.

Holding up my hand I put a stop to his words, "I don't want to know. I'm not mad, but I want her to tell me herself first what she wants to tell me." And that itch started to burn. I still ignored it, "Anyways, her grandfather is Alpha William and he had the ability passed onto him so he passed it onto her so she could get answers… or something like that. I was too damn mad to really pay attention to anything."

Shaking his head from side to side, fingers running through his hair. "I understand your worry Josh." He hardly calls me Josh though I've specifically told him to call me that. He says I'm 'Alpha' and deserve the title so he'll call me that. But, we were friends before I was Alpha and I wasn't going to question him on it. He could make the decision on his own, he was 18. "I would be just as angry, seers are sought after but I'm thankful for the fact she has this gift."

I know he's thankful because Maya's vision could very well have saved his mate. Again, not knowing the full story but we can assume. "I'm glad she can help but she's already got a target on her back." I murmur under my breath, "I can never describe the pain I felt losing her Lucas." Meadow like eyes glance up at me, as if now I've fully gotten his attention. "I-I wasn't an Alpha. I was a broken man, I even- I asked Farkle to kill me." Eyebrows shot up to the top of his head, "we've all heard stories. And though I believed them, I always held a subconscious thought that it was fabricated. That couldn't be further from the truth, if anything the stories are underwhelming."

"D-Did your wolf-

Cutting him off before he even has the chance to finish that thought I say, "No Jax wouldn't have gone feral. He wanted to die, hell he was almost there. He wanted to be with Maya." Swallowing the lump in my throat I glance away, feeling the need to cry at the fresh memory of losing not just Maya but Jax. "She's been through so much Lucas, I would take away her powers if I could, to just take away her burden because she doesn't need another one."

Fingers tugging at his hair again, I hesitantly avert my gaze. "Your mark?"

I know he's just curious, after hearing what Maya said he wants to be prepared for anything. But truth is, nothing can prepare you for it. "Started to fade." Pulling my shirt down, I haven't shown Maya this yet. I didn't want to overwhelm her, the mark is almost gone. The 4 bite marks that were once a light red, almost pink have faded into 4 barely noticeable white marks. "Another month it would have disappeared entirely."

"That fast?" His mouth still agape in pure disbelief.

Nodding my head slowly, I grip her hand tighter. I know she's wondered why I've been going to bed with a shirt on but she never questioned it. She'll have to remark me, our bond is still there we can still mind link but the grasp on her emotions is weakened. "We haven't been together long. A mark like on my father and mother, that won't disappear. It will always be there."

"Wow." Whispered words I'm sure weren't meant for me to hear, and that's all he says.

Because there's nothing else to say.

GMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMW

The rest of the day is the same. Maya sleeping in my office while I fill out some paperwork, me constantly watching her chest to make sure she's still breathing steadily. And my mind consistently wandering, along with my eyes to my mate. When is she going to wake up? Is she okay? What did she see? How can she be so beautiful? It's a never ending question game.

So now that it's 10 o'clock at night and she's been sleeping for 9 hours, I decide it's time for me to take her to bed. Scooping her up in my arms, instinctually she buries her face into my chest. A small smirk toys on my lips, she loves me. Entering our room, stripping her clothes – lucky me – and lying her on our bed. My orbs fall to the line on her stomach, it will fade since it wasn't made with silver but right now it reminds me of everything I have, and everything I almost lost. The blonde haired beauty sprawled out on our bed right now is the strongest she-wolf I've ever known.

Been through so much.

Going through so much.

Yet she's here, smiling and laughing as if the weight of the world isn't on her shoulders. I want to help more, I'm wanting to end this war as quickly as it began. Giving her, her old pack back and giving me Maya… fully. I don't miss her constant state of awareness, I just don't draw attention to it. I don't see the need for it, I just want her to have everything she never did.

Deciding to get food and bringing it up here to eat I kiss her temple, placing my shirt that I wore today on the bed—my scent still fresh so she won't have nightmares, I jog downstairs. Ending up in the kitchen, my hands working without my mind even processing anything.

My mind stuck on one thing.

War.

I hate this for the pack, but I don't regret doing it. My mate's safety is top priority and my warriors agree wholeheartedly with my decision. My next mission is to find the mole, there had to have been one. We even kept our trip to the Power Pack away from members, just leadership as far as I know. However, Kermit knew whenever we'd be leaving… hell he knew we were there in general. "I don't know… I'm not as privy as I used to be." Those words, and the fact they were spoken so softy lulled me out of my mind. I don't make a move, any sort of rustling could alert them that someone is near.

"Omega." Another word, it's a female and I'm pretty sure I know who it is. "I don't know." Growled out as if she's getting frustrated. "Well, I'll figure it out. Strike a deal with my brother. I'm sure I can get something out of him."

What would she want from Kris? What was she not as privy to? What doesn't she know? More questions that will go unanswered for a while. 'Lucas'

'Alpha?'

'I need Katie's daily schedule. We need to have someone watch her. Meet me with the information in my office tomorrow morning before school.'

'Yes Alpha.'

"Josh?"

I know that voice, so sweet, soft and my favorite sound... well I have many favorite sounds all from her. Turning my focus to the entryway of the kitchen, smile widening. She's in my arms within seconds, my lips crashing against hers. Warm sparks have me in a trance. "I'm assuming I was out for a while?"

"I hate this shit." Her giggle turns into full blown laughter, "I'm serious Maya. It's been, I don't even know how long it has been. I just know it was too damn long." Lifting her off the ground, one leg wraps around my waist. I stifle a laugh as her other leg remains motionless by my side.

"I have something –

Interrupting her, I ignore her glare. She hates when I do that. "We'll discuss it in the morning. Alpha William wants to listen in anyways and help decide what to do to keep the future on track."

Nodding in agreement she wastes no time to take my sandwich, "Thank you." At least that's what I think my cheeky mate said. It was hard to decipher through the bread, meat and cheese.

"If you weren't my mate…"

Giggling she stuffs the sandwich into my mouth, "Then I wouldn't have gone easy on you the first time we met." She replies with an arched brow.

"Haha! Very fun-"Her orbs shifting, immediately filling with sadness. "Baby girl what's wrong?" Following her line of sight, trying to figure out what she saw.

As I do so, her eyes fill with tears. "My mark."

GMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMW

Let me know what you think lovelies! I said a double update and that's what you're getting. I can't let you down twice!
