Josh's Point of View.
Maya's still sleeping. It's been 14 hours, 22 minutes and 37 seconds since she woke briefly from her vision. If you can't already tell, I'm worried. She slept a lot last time, but it didn't surpass 12 hours. We haven't made any move yet, we need to hear the full vision. Lucas, myself, the Gamma's and Kris all agreed that we can't just assume she meant they'd attack.
Though, I'm very aware that's probably what it meant.
"Come on baby." Running my fingers through her hair, pushing the locks out of her beautiful face. I've said those words a million times over the past few hours, yet she remains curled up in a ball and snuggling our blanket. I brought her to our room last night around 10 o'clock after e-mailing Alpha's and informing them of our situation. I didn't ask for their aid yet, only inquired to see if they would stand with us.
I haven't checked to see if they have messaged me back.
Kris ended up sleeping outside of our door last night. If Maya had grown up in my pack, I would have had a strong suspicion that they would be mates. The trust these two have in one another is pretty astounding, and I know it is just the guardian bond but he seems to be a pretty trustworthy wolf. Which is why I've decided to not initiate the plan. Originally we were going to feed Katie false information after taking Kris into custody, basically set up Kermit to believe we would be somewhere at a particular place and a particular time, but we'd be waiting for the attack.
But now, if what I'm thinking about Maya's vision is correct then we won't need to do that. Thank Goddess, I'd hate to do that to Kris even if he'd be in the safe room with his mom. I need him out and about, protecting my mate if for whatever reason I can't. "Wake up for me baby."
She sighs contently but her long and voluminous eyelashes don't flutter open to reveal the gorgeous baby blue eyes that tend to always captivate me. "Good morning Alpha." A tray of donuts is rolled into the room, one of her favorite breakfast foods. She'll love it when she wakes up.
"Thank you." Watching Maggie exit the room I lie back down on the bed with the beautiful blonde and pull her into my chest.
Burrowing deeper, I hear her inhale my scent. And that's when she opens her eyes. "I smell donuts."
Chuckling, I press my lips against hers. "Good morning to you too beautiful."
"Yeah, yeah donuts!" I hold her even tighter, effectively preventing her from getting up. I missed her voice. I missed her eyes, and it hasn't even been a full day.
I brush my nose against hers, my thumb resting gently by her ear while my fingers are tangled in her hair. "I missed you baby girl. I'll never get used to you sleeping so damn long."
"I have a lot to tell you guys. A lot, a lot. But first, donuts!"
I let her out of my grasp and watch as she scurries across the bed and stretches before letting her feet carry her to the tray of food. "I'm beginning to think you love donuts more than me." It came out more serious because in reality, I shouldn't be jealous of a damn donut. It was meant to be a joke.
"Well as long as you understand your place in my life." She winks and I can't help but growl. She just rolls her eyes and saunters towards me all sexy like – she doesn't mean to be sexy it is just her natural aura. Wiping off some of the chocolate on her finger, she kicks her leg over to straddle me.
'I like donuts'
I ignore Jax and his fight to get out of his cage. He's only saying he likes donuts because he wants to be in my position. Can't say I blame him. My hands grip her hips, as she stares at the sweetness on her finger. "Everyone loves donuts Josh. They're sweet, and there are so many different options to choose from." Her little ass wiggles against me, but when I let out a warning growl she feigns innocence. This girl knows exactly what she's doing. "I don't know why you're getting all growly, I'm just getting comfy." She puts that finger in her mouth, those sweet and soft lips enclosing around it. I want to be that finger. My mate loves to tease, especially when she's lies against me. Her chest pressing against mine and giving me a sight to see. Her forearms bracing her on either side of my face, her voluptuous mouth hovering over mine.
"You're walking on a thin line baby girl." Gripping her hips, I grind her into me. Letting her know exactly what she does for me.
"I'm just offering you a bite."
XXX-Small Scene, nothing to terrible.
I shake my head, my eye contact remaining 100 percent focused on her. Removing one hand from her hips, I knock the donut out of her hand… she doesn't even care. I knew she loved me more than donuts. Take that sugary bitches. "I have something much sweeter in mind."
She begins to nibble on her bottom lip. In one fluid motion I'm flipping her over, my body balancing over her sinfully attractive one. "You know Alpha, we should probably talk about my vision."
Smirking I rip her shirt right off that beautiful body. "I'll get you to talk, but it won't be about your vision."
My lips connect with hers, I can taste the chocolate on her tongue. "You do know how to convince me." Popping the button on her shorts, I slide those down. Hot pink lace panties poking out as I do so.
"Fuck Maya." The little control I had on Jax is slipping away. If I lose the last bit of thread I have on him, I won't be giving me control back anytime soon.
"Let him out Alpha."
I'm battling with him, my grip on her hips tightening… almost bruising. Her voice so seductive it's driving me crazy, "It won't be nice Maya. It'll be fast and hard."
That's the wolf way. Without hesitation, I rip her panties right off. Jax right underneath my consciousness, without intending to he can hurt Maya if she isn't in wolf form. Leaning down, I bury my face in her thighs. Her wetness coating my tongue, "So ready for me." I muster out before diving back in. Her legs wrap around my neck, pulling me impossibly closer as she moans my name. "So good." I growl, before adding my fingers, my other hand ripping her bra off.
It doesn't take long before I feel her clenching tightly around my fingers, the echoes of my name filling my ears and her sweetness resting on my taste buds. "We aren't done yet." Sliding my basketball shorts off, my boxers following suit, I hover over her. Her cheeks tinted a light red, her eyes hooded with desire as she stares up at me. I love seeing her like this, attacking her mouth with mine, I thrust inside of her in one fluid motion. Greedily, I swallow up her moans my lips on hers, while I again thrust inside of her. "So tight." Sitting up on my knees, one hand lifts her by the small of her back the other plays with her pearl as I continue to push her limits.
Maya wraps her arms around my body and her legs around my waist. She bites into my shoulder, inflicting a little pain but mostly pleasure. Jax growls in approval that she's wanting to mark us again. And that's when he takes full control.

(It's safe now.)
"Bye Jax."
Coming back to consciousness, I am even afraid to open my eyes. I went feral for a few minutes and don't remember what happened. I hear Maya's heavy and hopefully satisfied breathing. I can feel my body coated in sweat, "oh my Goddess." Her sweet voice still sounds high on ecstasy at the moment.
Opening my eyes just so I can gaze at my mate, I'm not at all surprised to see the crack in the headboard or the stuffing from the pillows and mattress… good going Jax. I roll my head and smile at Maya who looks absofuckinglutely gorgeous. I love the way she looks after I ravish her, panting for breath and barely awake. "Hey." I whisper and pull her into my body. "You okay? Jax didn't hurt you did he?"
She shakes her head and burrows herself into my chest. "You both are incredible." I can feel immense satisfaction coursing through our bond and I hear Jax snort in pride. Stupid mutt, "At least I know donuts is what pulls Jax out." She winks and presses her lips against mine.
"I don't think its donuts beautiful, he's been aching to get out since the moment I saw you in that classroom."
"Well that would be highly inappropriate." She quips and divulges her beautiful smile. Goddess she is beautiful. "Either way, we haven't mated in wolf form yet. Amber is getting antsy." She giggles and rolls towards the edge of the bed, no doubt to take a shower. But as she does, I see a ton of bruises on her back, hips and her perky little ass.
"Goddess Maya." I sit up on my knees and turn her around to inspect her wounds. "I'm so sorry."
"Josh I'm fine baby. These will be gone in a few hours." She assures me, but what makes me madder is Jax is now sleeping and can't see what he did. Ass hole. I growl but relent and follow her into the shower. She just chuckles at me and calls me a 'lost puppy'. I wash her body clean, making sure I get every inch and listening to her sigh in contentment. "I called a meeting in 15 minutes."
Damn it.
I hurriedly take a shower, she just watches me in amusement. She knows how I feel about my hair… it's an OCD thing. At least that's how I defend it, and if I can't fix it in time I throw on a beanie. Flipping off the water, I step out first to grab a towel. I love drying her off, I'll just wear a beanie. "I'm flattered me over your hair."
"Well you chose me over your donut. Just trying to even things out a bit." I joke and press my lips against hers while she giggles. "Now get your sexy ass dressed. We have 7 minutes."

We were late.
Only by a few minutes but still, it is very unprofessional and un-Alpha-like to arrive late. Not like we can get in trouble, but full responsibility is on my mate. She shouldn't look so damn good and we wouldn't have had this problem. My father, mother, leadership and Kris are eating on the snacks that Maya must have asked to be brought in, such an amazing Luna. "Good morning everyone." Maya announces with a glorious smile.
Seriously, even her smile makes my heart race. Riley races towards us and envelops her in a tight hug. Their cheeks pressing together, "Are you okay? You were sleeping for forever."
My mate nods and perches on the end of the couch, "So everyone I'm a seer." Goddess Maya, I've learned she makes jokes when she's uncomfortable. And they're funny, but we're on the brink of war. "And yes once my soul returns to my body I'm pretty tired, so I apologize for being late." I don't, I was enjoying myself until Jax took over.
'Guilty as charged'
'HEY ASSHOLE! You bruised our mate!"
"Josh leave Jax alone." Maya demands, her hand held out for me to take.
I do right when Jax speaks up again. 'Mate loves me more.'
"Jax knock it off." Huffing he puts his muzzle on his paws. Pouting puppy. "Alright so there was a lot of information that I gathered on this trip. First, 2 weeks from yesterday my father attacks." Standing up she saunters towards the calendar and circles the date with a big red marker. "I don't have an exact time, but Josh and I were sleeping already – well Josh was. I of course was stressing out per the norm. He came to get me from the office."
Lucas nods, his focus on the ground and his brows furrowed as he takes in all the information. He's even ignoring his mate who is resting against him. Normally when Riley is around he's finding some way to touch her. "It's safe to say that it's after 10 o'clock." I think out loud.
"On average, yes." She shrugs and saunters towards the map that we had blown up of our territory and theirs. "I'm not sure what part of the territory they entered in from though. Josh got a mind link saying that they were 4 miles out because of the sensors Farkle put out." She flashes a million watt smile towards my gamma causing a growl to rumble in my chest.
Farkle nods and pulls out his laptop. "I'm assuming you would like for me to set up sensors around our perimeter."
"Yes but no one make a move yet. Anything we do now can alter the future so let me say everything first and then we will create a plan." She tilts her head to the side while glancing out the window, my friends stare at me as if I'll have an answer on what she's doing. I just shrug, I have no control over this she-wolf no matter how much that hurts me ego to admit. "According to future me, my father has Alpha Thomas and rogues on his side. Unfortunately our reinforcements wouldn't arrive till the next morning. Smackle and Riley were in charge in the safe room. Riley had a headcount and was to report to me if we were one wolf off." Spinning on her heels she faces Vanessa with a smile, "V, I trained you. You were practically itching to fight."
Vanessa beams, in a weird way she looks up to Maya. Zay however, is a completely different story. He's fuming at the mention of his mate fighting. We'll deal with that later. "We went down to the armory and then I had to come back. Josh and I arguing took up a good portion of my time. Kris, you weren't there and I didn't see you Luna Amy or Alpha Allen, nor did I see any other leadership. I was to meet Josh out on the front steps to fight beside you." Her eyes stare into mine, happiness and adoration gleaming within them.
Everyone is silent, while Maya takes several pieces of copy paper and clips them to the board over the maps. She makes a 'T' chart, one side labeled what we can't change and the other labeled what we can't. "First, Kris since we know the date he will attack we won't be needing to feed false information to her. So plan, 'Kris is the enemy' is dead." That plan has so many names, all from her. "Farkle, set the sensors out as far as you can. We'll be expecting them but, the sooner we get notice the better."
"We can't change bringing pack members to the safe room. We'll have to do that when they step on the territory, any sooner and Katie could contact Alpha Kermit to let him know we're ushering them underground then he won't attack."
Maya smirks proudly while Lucas says his peace. "You are right. To an extent. Firstly, we can't bring her in now. She's feeding information to my father, if we bring her in my father will know something is going on since she wouldn't have contacted him in 2 weeks. But, who is to say we can't bring her in a few hours before we order everyone to the safe room?"
"You read my mind, mate. Now, John. We have a problem there, Kris do you have any idea if your father or step-mom are involved in this?"
He shakes his head no, dejectedly. "Unfortunately, no. If he is, they're staying out of the action."
"I wouldn't put it past him." My father announces, his deep baritone voice rattling the room. He's upset about the previous beta possibly being a mole. "He's a power hungry wolf, and he's been acting out since Luna Maya entered the picture. I have a theory."
"Let's hear it." My mate plops down in the chair, a smile on her face. All she needs now is a damn bowl of popcorn. It's just nice to not see her as stressed as she was, the bags underneath her eyes are gone and only now do I realize how much I've missed her gorgeous smile. Thank Goddess.
He chuckles and grips my mom's hand. "You plan on challenging your father. He's going to need something to keep your mate busy. It is very disrespectful for a wolf to interfere but if you're in danger and mate instincts kick in, Jax will attack no matter the circumstances."
'Yup'
"So you're saying, John will challenge me for the Alpha position?"
"Or attack you at the very least. I have no evidence to prove my theory. He may not even be involved in this mess but, they'll only need moments to take her away if Alpha Thomas wants her."
"They don't know about me." Kris announces, unfortunately he can't take on 2 Alpha's if they get her hands on my mate.
"My vote." Maya raises her hands, pulling our attention back to the board. "Lock them all up. Besides, Naomi will probably be in the safe room, I'd hate to make her feel awkward. We'll have someone tail them, if they try to escape before the attack we bring them in early. We can't risk my father finding out any information."
Riley looks stressed out, we'll have to up her training. All 15 and 16 year old wolves will be trained to defend in case the safe room is taken down but being the Beta Female she will lead. I won't have a weak link. "So, once we bring in Katie and her folks we will call a pack meeting and have the rest of the pack enter the safe room."
Zay raises his hand, which is odd usually he just says the first thing on his mind. "If we have allies coming to stay with us, won't that tip off the mole or moles?"
I smirk, "I'm sure the Power Pack won't mind extra company. We can send word to them after locking Katie away. Alpha William can lead them to our pack. In wolf form they can be there in mere hours."
"Or – No offense Alpha, to save their strength we could give them a time to be here."
That works better.
Damn it.
Farkle is the smart one, that's why I made him my Gamma. I ignore it entirely, not wanting to be embarrassed further. "We'll pull the patrol wolves further in so they can make it back to the pack house as soon as they smell one or the sensors are triggered." Sensors over our territory is going to be ridiculously expensive, but safety first. "Training schedules. Riley," I pull my focus off the paper and look at the she-wolf, "You'll be working with our Beta, Farkle with Smackle and father with mom. If you 3 will be in the safe room, you will be leading. I can't have you running and hiding." My words directed solely to Riley and Smackle, my mother needs to be trained up a bit but she can fight just fine. "You'll train every day from 8 to 12."
My focus shifts towards Farkle and Zay, "You two will train 15 and 16 year olds. Both males and females. There will be basic weaponry, as well as self-defense and offensive maneuvers. This will occur from 3 to 7, so they won't miss school. From 12 to 3 Lucas and myself will work with our warriors. And my mate, you will be training –
"Vanessa." She finishes for me, her canines extending with the one word.
Those two are absolutely ridiculous. "If anyone asks why we're training, tell them we're preparing. They know we've declared war and it won't hurt to train. Half-truth."
Maya stands beside me, like the amazing Luna she is. Her hand rests gently on my bicep. "Any questions?"
When no one says anything, I take Maya's hand in mind. "Great, we start tomorrow. Get ready to push yourself to the limits."
