Chapter 19: Chapter 18 ~ Action Plan

~ Jay’s P.O.V ~

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing; did everyone think that I was just going to let Cameron mate with me because it’s what everyone else wants? I don’t think so. He won’t be mating with anyone until he can show me that he wants me for me, nothing more or nothing less and that’s even if I forgive him.

“I’m not doing it.” I blurted out interrupting the thick silence.

“Jay.” Seb said in all seriousness. “If you don’t do this then you won’t be able to enhance your powers and win this war.” I looked at him puzzled wasn’t he supposed to be discouraging me?

“I’ll repeat what I said. I’m not doing it. Cameron and I haven’t even accepted each other as mates. Heck, he rejected me! Who’s side are you on anyway?!”

“I am on my own side. I’m trying to get you to use your powers for my side, to help the rouges win this war.”

“That’s not going to happen.” I scoffed.

“As we have already discussed you don’t really have a choice. If you refuse to help me your friends and family will be killed.” I scowled. “Look I’m not telling you that you have to do it now you have plenty of time before it all starts but I suggest that you do it sooner rather than later.” Without another word Seb got up and exited the room leaving Cameron and I in an awkward silence.

Why did this have to be my life? Why couldn’t I just be a normal wolf with a normal family, a normal pack and a normal mate? A mate that would’ve accepted me without a second thought and did it because he wanted to. Why couldn’t I have all of those things? Don’t get me wrong I love my life now, I have an amazing pack, amazing friends and I’ve managed to have a relatively normal life apart from being who I am. But have you ever had those thoughts where you wished your life turned out differently? I’ve never thought about that until now.

“Jay?” Cameron’s voice was soft. “Are you okay?” I ignored him but thought about his question. Am I okay? No, no I’m not.

“No I’m not okay.” I burst jumping up and started pacing. “I’m being forced to mate with you just so a bunch of rouges can use my power! I’m being forced to mate with my mate that rejected me because I wasn’t perfect, I didn’t fit in with the crowd and I didn’t fit in with the pack.” I stopped and turned to face a shocked Cameron. “How do you think I’m supposed to feel? So far my life has been planned out by someone else. I want control over my own life. My innocence is the only thing that I have left. And you’re not having it!” I was breathing heavily after my outburst. I must say though I feel much better after letting all of my anger out.

Cameron looked as if someone had slapped him over the face with a fish. His eyes were wide and his mouth was slightly agape.

I was still shaking at first I thought it was because of my anger but then I noticed that a tear dropped from my check and landed on the cold concrete floor. It was like slow motion where you watch water drop to the floor slowly and watch the water splash back up again. I looked back up to Cameron and wiped my face furiously trying to wipe away the tears but new tears just took their place.

“Jay.” Cameron said softly getting up and pulling me into his arms. I could hear the pain in his voice. Even in his strong, safe arms I continued to cry soaking his t-shirt with my tears. “Shh, it’s okay. It’ll all be okay.” He whispered rocking me backwards and forwards in his arms. I was positioned so I was sitting on his crossed legged lap.

“Y-you’re not going to make me mate are you?” I hiccupped looking up at his face.

“No. I would never do anything that you wouldn’t want to. It’s all on your terms.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I don’t want to hurt you anymore.”

I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my head in his chest. “Thank you.” I mumbled. He continued to rock us in silence. My tears stopped long ago and my eye lids were starting to feel heavy. I tried to stay awake but I was beyond tired with the day’s events, waking up in unknown surroundings, meeting our capturer and finding out some shocking news. My surroundings were becoming blurry and I was slightly aware of the circles that Cameron was drawing on my back. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t keep my eyes open.

~ Penny’s P.O.V ~

The information that Holly had found was extremely informative but it didn’t really offer any help to us finding Jay and Cameron. I was keeping a level head at the moment because I know what Jay is capable of and with Cameron by her side there is nothing that can stop them. Jay may not accept him as her mate but everyone else can see how they fit perfectly for each other. They are both strong, stubborn, and have hearts of gold, everything that a pack wished for in their Alphas. I just hope that soon she will come to realise what everyone else has figured out; Cameron is head over heels in love with her. Underneath my level headedness I did have little bits of panic and fear; I pushed them away so I could focus on the tasks ahead. The first task that I have to do is to fill in the guys on what the Luna’s have discovered.

I left the Luna’s in the library to continue on their research to see if they can find out anything more on the ‘Primes’. When I reached the office I couldn’t believe my eyes. I must have only been gone for an hour at the most but the office was a complete mess! There were plates, wrappers, jackets and anything you could think of was scattered all over the office. The guys were all still sat around the table looking over maps of the surrounding area and other packs land looking rather dishevelled, they looked as though they’d been sat around the table for days. I was still stood in the doorway to the office and they still hadn’t noticed that I was there observing them. It was quite amusing. They were currently arguing about which packs can and can’t be trusted. I moved a couple of steps more into the room, the door slammed shut behind me putting a stop to their arguing and all of their heads snapped in my direction.

Leon smiled widely at me. “Hey honey, find out anything interesting?” I pulled a chair up next to Leon before I answered him.

“The Luna’s were able to find out quite a bit about what Jay is and how she is able to enhance her powers.” I looked at Alpha Sage. “Your mate found a considerable amount of the information; she’s very handy with books.”

Alpha Sage laughed. “She’s always been such a bookworm.”

“So what did you find out?” Jake asked.

I then went on to explain everything that Holly had told me. They all sat patiently as I explained, every now and then one of them would ask me a question and I would answer it if I could but once I got to the part about Jay had to mate with Cameron their faces seemed to drop.

“My little sister has to mate with that jerk?!” The triplets all yelled at the same time. When I said that everyone can see that they are made for each other I didn’t say that everyone was happy about it, especially the twins they believe that Jay can do better. I know though in their hearts they wouldn’t want her to be with anyone else.

“That is what the books say.” I nodded. “However, it doesn’t say when they have to ‘do the deed’ but I suspect that it will have to be soon.”

“I know Jay.” Josh started. “She wouldn’t do that if she doesn’t want to.”

“We all know that but it’ll help her with her powers.” Alpha Sage added.

“You don’t think Cameron will force her, do you?” James asked fearfully.

“He would never force her.” Adam said sternly. “He may have come across heartless but he loves her and he wouldn’t want to put her through any more pain than he has already.”

“I agree. I may not have known him for very long but he seems like an alright guy, Jay is in safe hands despite this predicament.” Leon agreed. There was no arguing with Leon he’s a man that everyone trusts, they believe his words.

“I think we’ve got that covered.” Alpha Sage cleared his throat. “Shall we discuss with Penny what we have come up with so far?” They all nodded.

“Let’s hear it.”

“Once we have pin pointed their location we are planning to send two large groups of wolves in for the attack. One group will come from the east and the other team from the west. We’re hoping that we will have the element of surprise. We all agree that it was not just any rouges that took both Jay and Cameron so we’re hoping that this will give us an edge and they aren’t many in numbers.” Alpha Sage explained.

“When the two teams have attacked the base a splinter group will go in to search for Jay and Cameron. Once they have been found we shall evacuate as quickly as possible. We plan to leave the base only when every rouge has been dealt with. If some happen to escape we shall deal with them after we have returned safe and sound.” Leon continued.

“What about our own casualties?” I asked.

“If all goes well we will not have any deaths only scratches and bruises.” Alpha Dean said confidently.

“I hope that’s all that happens.” I prayed. “How are you going to find out where they are?”

“Ah, I was hoping you’d ask that.” Jake grinned. “We have been trying to contact either Jay or Cameron through the mind link with no luck so far. Once we can contact them we can then tell how far away they are from us by how faint their voices are. The mind link can only go about forty miles so we can cross off quite a lot of land from the maps.”

“So what you’re saying Jake is that from the pack house they can be forty miles in either direction?” I asked.

“Yes. It’s a lot of ground to cover but when we can talk to either of them we will be able to reduce the search areas.”

I stayed silent absorbing everything that I was told. The plan seemed to be bomb prof and in my mind I was certain that it was going to work. The fear and panic faded away some and hope was starting to take their place.

“I’ve got Cameron!” Adam shouted startling me from my thoughts.

“How faint is his voice?” Jake asked eagerly. Adam didn’t answer instead of answering he started crossing out more areas on the maps. Once he was done we all leaned over to have a look.

“This is great!” Jake exclaimed. “They’re only twenty miles in each direction now!” We all cheered.

I turned my attention back to Adam who was quiet in his chair probably still talking to Cameron. “Adam can you ask Cameron if Jay is okay for me?” He nodded.

“He says she’s okay, she’s sleeping at the moment.”

“Oh thank the moon goddess.” I breathed a sigh of relief. It won’t be much longer now. The search parties will be sent out to find the rouges base, return to the pack house with the information then the two teams will be sent to carry out the plan. It won’t be long now.

~ Cameron’s P.O.V ~

Jay was wrapped in my arms as I rocked us backwards and forwards. It wasn’t long before she had fallen asleep in my arms.

Just where she should be, my wolf purred. I couldn’t help but agree with him. She fits perfectly against my body. I don’t know why I ever rejected her if this is what I’ve been missing out on all of the cuddles, the tingles shooting all over your body with the slightest touch and the rapid increase of my heart when she’s near. I love it.

Jay hadn’t been asleep that long when I felt someone prodding at my mind, so I opened it up.

“Cameron?” The voice asked.

“Adam is that you?!” I asked excitedly.

“It is. How are you doing bro?”

“I’m doing okay.”

“You won’t have to be there for much longer we’ve got search parties and a plan.” I could hear the excitement seep into his voice.

“I’m glad to hear that. I don’t think I can stand being in here for much longer.” I sighed.

“Where are you? Can you give me any details? Did you see where they took you and Jay?”

“I have no clue where I am, we got drugged so we were pretty out of it. We’re in concrete cell. I think it’s underground so I’d suggest looking for a concrete building that has an access to a cellar of sorts.”

“Yes Alpha, we’ll get right to it.” He paused. “Penny has asked if Jay is okay.”

I glanced down at the sleeping beauty in my arms. “Yeah she’s fine; she’s just sleeping right now.”

“That’s good to hear. Sorry bro but I’ve got to go; I’ve got some last minute details to attend to. Hang in there just a little longer.” Just like that he was gone and I was left alone again. I was happy that I was able to talk to someone from my pack to see what was going on and to hear that a plan was already in play was great! Jay and I wouldn’t be here for much longer, I was both thrilled yet sad at the same time being in this cell with Jay has brought us closer and has allowed us to get more in touch with a normal mate relationship.

I reverted back to thinking about the plan that is in motion. Once our packs arrive we are going to have quite a fight on our hands and I don’t want Jay getting hurt. I won’t let her get hurt.

I pulled Jay closer to my body. “I will protect you with my life.”
