Maxwell's POV

　　"We have an issue, Alpha!" My beta shoots throughout the link, the anger clear in his voice. 

　　"Ugh!" I groaned out loud, dragging my hand down my face dramatically. "Fuck sake!"

　　"What is it?" I snap, resting my head on my mate's lap; Mia's fingernails scraped up and down my neck and into my dark hair. 

　　"He won't leave the girl's side," Marcus explained dryly.

　　"We expected as much!" 

　　"No, Alpha, I mean he won't let me even touch her; Archer is giving off serious touch her and die vibes." He pushed the subject. Sighing into Mia's lap, I let her sweet scent distract me from Jason's infatuation with the redhead. 

　　"He is acting like a mated male," Marcus warns. Yet again, I whine into my beautiful mate's lap, gripping her light fabric skirt. 

　　"He IS a mated male!" I retreat.

　　"I am aware, and last time I checked, he was mated to MY daughter! Not this demon groupie!" Marcus growled; I could feel his anger through our link and knew he was laying the Blackwood's crimes at Abigail's feet. 

　　"Push the matter and report back to me!" I ordered, closing the link. I lifted the bunched skirt I had gripped in my hands to Mia's waist to bury my head between her thighs. 

　　"That son of yours is driving me insane." I groaned into the slender flesh of her thighs in a mixture of frustration and delight, hearing her light chuckle as she trailed her fingers across my scalp to my chin. 

　　"My son?" She laughed, taking my head that I had comfortably buried in her heat and forced it up to look into her eyes. 

　　"Yes! When he is being a little shit, he is YOUR son!" I snickered, leaning forward to peck her plump lips.

　　"I think you will find... he gets THAT from his father." The slight awkwardness in her voice made my heart ache, but I nodded and laughed, wanting to ease her pain. 

　　"I don't know what you mean, my love!" I grinned, lifting her and pulling her into my lap. 

　　"Mmmhmm", She laughed, watching me grab my laptop and open it up, connecting it to the tv monitors that hung all over the office walls; I pulled up the security footage and pulled my beautiful mate into my lap as we nestled down in my chair as if we were about to watch the latest Netflix series, not our son potentially deck the packs beta. 

　　"She is very beautiful!" My wife whispered, leaning her head into the crook of my neck. "They look good together!" She admitted wiggling in my lap to get cosy. The feel of her petite ass rubbing against my cock had me groaning needily.

　　"Sit still, wife!" I moaned playfully, biting down softly on her exposed shoulder. Ignoring me, she pulled the laptop onto her knees as she leaned back against my muscular chest; her tiny body fit in my lap so perfectly. 

　　"She could be his mate! Look at how they act, look!" She grinned over her shoulder, looking so hopeful. 

　　"Don't let Kayla hear you say that!" I laughed, resting my chin on her shoulder.

　　"Why? She can't be his mate. She doesn't have a wolf!" 

　　"Bastard!" I laughed, looking at the camera and seeing Jason square up to Marcus. 

　　"Why does Kayla matter?" Mia pushed impatiently, making me grumble. I had never been able to hide anything from my beautiful wife, she had always known or at least been able to get it out of me with a simple look! A look she was giving me now.

　　"We are totally screwed! Just tell her! Is the boy's secret really worth a week without sex, because that is how she will punish us!" Rage laughed into my mind. He was right of course and he knew it. 

　　"I am going to kick my son's ass, he has spent all morning with you, and he forgot to mention that Kayla got her wolf last night!" I exhaled as I connected the link with Marcus.

　　"What's going on?" I snapped, wanting this day to end so we could return to normal.

　　"Your son has a death wish!" Sighing, I looked into the shocked face of my mate, who was staring at me wide-eyed, arms open, obviously waiting for more information.

　　"Well, yes! We know that? What has he said." I answered sarcastically, mouthing for Mia to wait a moment.

　　"Threatened to exile me when he becomes Alpha if I don't back away from the girl. She is changing him, Alpha! The kid..."

　　"My son!" I corrected; although I was less than impressed with him, he was still my son. However, Marcus was right; this behaviour was out of character or Jason- I wouldn't put it past Archer.

　　"YOUR SON is an arrogant shit who needs to be reminded that loyalty isn't given because of who you are but rather earnt by the deeds you do and the way you hold yourself! Threatening me and my family is not the best way to get me on the side.

　　"He is young!" I tried to defend him, but I knew Marcus was right. Jason was too hot-headed to take the reins of the pack just yet. I had not worked as hard as I had to get us to where we were today, a pack to be respected and feared for him to ruin it in a day with his impulsive behaviour.

　　"Yeah- so were we!" He barked back, making me sigh; Mia sensing the tension, moved to rub my shoulders, pressing loving kisses up the back of my neck. 

　　God, I loved her! 

　　"What do you want me to do, Alpha? Back off or stay close?" 

　　"Stay close. Once she's inside, I will lock the house down and separate them."

　　"Ha! Good luck with that! His head is so far up her ass you will be able to see his wolf shining in her eyes."

　　"I will separate them!" I growled, not appreciating my Beta's doubts about my ability to control my son!

　　"Yes, Alpha!" He corrected himself, closing the link off.

　　"So Kayla?" Mia asked the second the link closed, with her hands on her hips, a pout on her lips and her wolf shining challengingly in her eyes. I knew I had to fess up, I had promised my son I would let him tell his mother, but it seems the little shit was chicken shit!

　　"Plus… you want sex tonight!" Rage smirked, shimmering with amusement in the backs of my eyes sensing flo's presence.

　　"Always!" I laughed while looking at the laptop watching Jason carefully. 

　　Seeing Archer hovering close to the front of Jason's eyes I knew he was itching to take control, if that happened I would be putting countless lives at risk! Archer was a wolf even I walked on eggshells with. 

　　Sighing, I opened a link to every pack member apart from Jason letting them know that I would be closing the pack house, and those who were not already in Jason's presence were to leave immediately. Those who were close by were to act naturally, I was watching and Marcus and Tommy were at hand to protect them. IF needed.

　　Because it seemed I  was about to poke the beast!
