Hey guys, I'm really trying to get back into my schedule of updating each of my books at least once a week, so here is your next chapter. Hope you enjoy it. xxx
It's been almost a month since the little pups were born, and everyone grew to love the little ones. Kira was definitely the more fiesty one out of the two, whereas Kiron was calm and quiet, almost polar opposites of each other.
In this time though, it has not all been sunshine and happiness. There have been a few Rouge attacks, but luckily they were always stopped at the border. But something seemed a bit off to Peyton. He knew he would have to discuss it with his brothers, but he didn't want to send everyone on a wild goose chase. He knew his brothers would believe him and as future Alphas they would have to check for any other threat that might be lurking in the vicinity, but he was worried that he might be wrong.
Which brings him to where he was right now, outside his parents house, with the twins. He was hoping his Papa was home so he could discuss it with him, and maybe get some advise from the Alpha before saying anything to his brothers and Mate. The only problem, is actually getting hold of his Papa. He still has a lot of Alpha duties, even though he had handed over most of them to his brothers. The official ceremony to hand over the titles of Alpha and Luna, will only happen once this whole mess with Belladonna has been sorted out. Things were just too unstable right now.
Peyton rang the bell and only had to wait for a few seconds before an over excited Evan opened the door wide, smiling at his son and the babies. "My grandbabies!!" he squealed, rushing them through the door, wanting the little pups out of their stroller so he could get to them. Peyton just giggled at his daddy's excitement. Evan might be quiet and reserved in front of others, but when it came to his Mate and pups, he didn't hold back at all.
Jaxon came into the lounge to see what the commotion was about and his eyes lit up when they landed on his sweet Mate, trying to wrestle the babies out of the straps holding them secure. He chuckled and went to help his Mate, then turned to his youngest son, once he had the two small pups in his Mate's arms. He opened his arms and Peyton gladly stepped into them, hugging him tightly. He actually missed them a lot, now that he was with his Mate and children all the time.
"I missed you guys so much Papa. I'm sorry I don't see you guys more often." he mumbled against his Papa's chest. Jaxon squeezed him tighter, before pulling back to look down at his small son. "It's okay sweetheart. Daddy and I both know how busy you become with your Mate and now you also have the twins who need you attention as well. Trust me, we would be more upset if you neglected your Mate or children just to spend more time with us. They are the ones who need you right now." he said, all the while soothingly rubbing circles on Peyton's small back.
"Thanks Papa. I actually came for a reason. I need some advise from you." Peyton told his dad, hoping his Papa won't think he is being a paranoid fool. Jaxon motioned for his son to continue so Peyton took a deep breath and decided to push on. "I've been thinking of all these little border skirmishes we have been having. This seems almost too small and tame to be Belladonna's work, and I keep getting this feeling like there is something else going on." I finish talking, all the while looking at my Papa, while daddy seems to be just as interested in what I am saying. He is sitting on the carpet, with the twins lying in front of him, but he is focused on what Peyton is saying, giving his youngest son a proud smile, before concentrating back on the babies again.
"So, what? You think that maybe the skirmishes are just a distraction for something far worse that is being plotted?" Jaxon asks his son, feeling proud as well. Peyton might be tiny, but his intelligence levels as well as his strategy plans were something to be seen to be believed. Phoenix and Paxton might be the future Alphas, but they would do very well to have Peyton as an advisor, which is something he was planning on talking to the other two about.
Peyton looked at his Papa in amazement, "Yes, that is exactly what I'm thinking. All the biggest irritations have been at our Western, Northern and Eastern borders. They have only been a very small amount of sightings along our Southern border. We all thought it was because there is always so much activity, because that is where the lake was and also where we train more often than not. What if Belladonne is busy in that area? She could be plotting something right under our noses and we wouldn't even know it. She is a witch after all. She could use magic to hide most of what they are doing." Peyton managed to rush all of it out, before he calmed down and smiled at his Papa sheepishly. "Sorry Papa, I'm just really worried about this, but I also don't want to make a fool of myself. I could be wrong, after all." he mumbled out.
Jaxon smiled at his son, "There is a chance that you could be wrong, but I honestly don't think you are. It has crossed my mind as well and I was planning on bringing it up at the meeting this afternoon. But I think it would be better if you did it yourself son." Jaxon said firmly.
Peyton's eyes went wide and he started shaking his head , no, but he quickly saw Jaxon wasn't going to change his mind, so he finally sighed in defeat. "Okay Papa, but please can Marcus be there with me?" he asked, peeking at his Papa through his lashes. "Of course he can. He is your Mate, Angel." Peyton smiled at his childhood nickname.
For the next hour or so, Peyton spent some time with his parents and the twins, just relaxing and laughing with them. Then it was time to head back to the Pack House for the meeting. Peyton had already mind-linked Marcus to meet him at the office doors and smiled when he saw him standing there, waiting. He really did hit the jackpot when it came to his Mate. Not only was he super hot and sexy, but he was also the sweetest and kindest person he had ever met.
Marcus pulled his gorgeous little Mate into his arms, and cuddled him closer. He loved how perfect Peyton felt in his arms. They were like two puzzle pieces, fitting together perfectly. "Where are Kiron and Kira, my love?" Marcus asked his Mate. Peyton smiled up at Marcus, "They are by daddy. He asked if they could stay with him and Papa tonight, so I said yes. Papa will come and pick up their overnight stuff after the meeting. Then we have the whole night to ourselves."Peyton practically purred out the last part and Marcus smirked down at his Mate. "Is that so little Mate? Maybe we can use our time alone wisely then." he whispered in Peyton's ear. Smiling predatorily down at the blush covering Peyton's cheeks.
The couple was interrupted by a thoat being cleared behind them. Peyton blushed even brighter when he turned and saw his Papa and his brothers, with their Mates, all smirking at them. They went into the office and the meeting started. They discussed where they were with preparations and training for the warriors, then moved on to the border skirmishes. This was where Peyton came in, so he gently stepped forward and cleared his throat to gain their attention. Once he had everyone focus on him, he became a bit nervous, but with a nod from his papa and his Mate's warm and comforting presence, he proceeded to tell them his thoughts on what might actually be the purpose behind all the small attacks.
Phoenix and Paxton listened to their tiny brother in amazement. Everything Peyton said made perfect sense and they just couldn't believe that the thought hadn't crossed their minds. They made plans to have the Southern border checked out, but they had to do it very carefully. They selected a few choice warriors, that were known for their stealth as well as their fighting abilities. By the time they were done with the planning, everyone was hungry , but a lot more relaxed, now that they had a plan of action.
They went down to the dining room for dinner, then everyone split up for the evening. Jaxon went with Marcus and Peyton to get the things they would need for the twins, then left, with a warning to use protection. Peyton was horrified by his Papa's words and Marcus just chuckled at his embarrassed Mate.
Peyton went into the bathroom to have a quick shower, while he thought about something his daddy had told him to try. He said that Peyton should meld his mind to his Mate's while they made love. According to Evan it was the best experience ever. Not only will he feel his own pleasure, but also that of his Mate and Marcus would feel the same as well. The advise was given with a bright red blush across Evan's face, but he was determined to make sure his son experienced it for himself. Apparently Evan had done it one night, completely by accident, but it was absolutely amazing.
So tonight Peyton was going to give it a try.
Hey guys, sorry to leave you guys hanging like that, lol. But if you want to see how Peyton's plan turned out, then you will just have to make sure you read the next chapter.
Anyway, please let me know what you think of this chapter, and remember, Vote, Comment & Share.
Luv Lots xxx
