The Triple Threat

Chapter Four

Alley POV:

It's been a couple days and we haven't really heard any different news which told us they were kept on some sort of schedule, still no children have been seen and I was tired of waiting. "Alright, let's hear some different ideas." I said looking around. "I don't think it would be wise to rush in." Diane replied. "No, they would see us all coming from a mile away, we need to think of something else." Charlotte said. "We could cover our scent, stay in the trees?" Jasmine said. "Wolves climbing trees? That is a funny thought." Emma laughed. "That is a disaster waiting to happen, we could always cloak ourselves." Pythia said. "Can't use too many people though." Ambrosia said looking at her. "Well, we have a lot of witches we can use for it, pair them up maybe? Like three per one?" I asked. "It could work, just depends on how many people you are wanting to take but I don't recommend taking a lot." Pythia replied. "No chance any of you are going without us." Stephen said walking in the door. "We wouldn't leave you guys behind don't worry." I replied with a smile. "Let's not forget about me." Jeremy said walking in with Cass. "Hey! How are you?" I asked hugging her. "We are well, thriving. Heard you guys might need some help." Cass replied. "We are trying to come up with a plan to get in without really being seen." Emma said.

The two of them looked so good, healthy and happy. They've had a few kids of their own but wanted to stay within their area. Jeremy is big on privacy and keeping his mate alive and safe since she is human. "Why don't you use a disguise? Do you know what they look like?" Jeremy asked. "Some of them are infected vampires, black veins, greasy frail crazy hair. They look sick." Ambrosia replied. "So why not put a little paint or something on you, get some contacts for your eyes and go from there?" Cass asked. "That's a start, we have Celeste and Malachi, they could teach us how to behave or something." Pythia replied. "Only issue with that is none of the other infected would know who we are." Ambrosia said. "That's true, but we can ask them how well they knew all the others." Pythia replied. "I'll go and get them." Ambrosia said standing to her feet. "It's good to see the two of you again." Ambrosia added looking between Jeremy and Cass. "You too Ambrosia. We will come by for dinner and catch up." Jeremy whispered hugging her. I forgot she helped him hide away so he could be happy and free to live his life. In a way she saved him and one thing I really admired about her.

When she walked out the rest of us looked at each other. "Now a back up plan in case that one doesn't work." I said. "Cloaking would be the best option, I've teleported an entire building with some help we could probably do it again." Pythia replied shrugging her shoulders. "That drained you, no way." Tye quickly replied. "I could teach Alley and the others, they are just as strong and can help." Pythia said. "I still don't like it. We barely made it out last time." Tye replied. "Well, the more we practice the more we get better. Don't worry." Pythia said patting his shoulder. "Fine, but if you can't get it under better control then we come up with another plan. I won't risk that." Tye replied sternly. "Alright deal." Pythia said with a smile. It was funny to see them like that, but I understood. "Two days to practice. If that doesn't work we pair up like we said earlier." Tye said. "Guardians will stay up high like they normally do to over see things." Xander added. "Is there a way to communicate with them since they don't have a wolf?" Collin asked. "Ambrosia and I would be able to hear them and we can relay the messages with an open link from our wolves to yours." Xander replied. "Alright good, that seems easy enough." Stephen said. "What does their lands look like now? I need a visual or something." Jeremy said. "Well, they keep the high rankings close to their main building while the lower ranking is made to fight each other around the area. The infected just roam around keeping an eye on them." Xander replied.

Jeremy nodded his head, I could pretty much see the wheels turning. "Okay, grab the infected first, kill them for all I care and then start nabbing the lower ranking to bring them back here. We may have to fight with the higher ups though." Jeremy replied. "What about children?" Cass asked. "Haven't hardly seen them, we think they are being kept somewhere under ground or stuck in the main house." I replied. "We have to get to them first somehow." Cass said. "We can't, we don't know exactly where they are." I replied. "There has to be a way, all of you can teleport right? I heard about the cloaking. You can do it." Cass said flatly. "Okay, we can figure it out. Ambrosia and I will go. We can take the twins, Hotch and separate from our wolves." Pythia spoke quickly. "Oh hell no. Not without me and Jackson." Tye replied. "You two will have to be here, with the kids and the others to finish coming up with a plan. You know we will be more than safe." Pythia said. "I'll go with them, Ambrosia will have Hotch and she will have me, plus the twins and two mean a*s wolves. They'll be safe, I promise." Xander added. I looked over at Jackson but his face gave nothing away, Tye on the other hand looked like he was ready to explode. "Let them go." Jackson said getting everyones attention. "You're okay with that?!" Tye yelled. "We have to be okay with it. It's okay to admit they can handle themselves and that's okay." Jackson replied not phased by Tyes temper.

"It's our job to protect them." Tye finally said. "Walk with me." Jackson replied pulling him from the room. I looked over at Pythia and she smiled softly. "Are you okay?" I asked through the link. "I'm alright, Tye seems to be struggling." Pythia replied. There was a sadness in her voice. "Why don't the two of you get out of here. I'll watch the kids. Go to the cabin in the woods and have a little alone time." I offered. "That sounds good Alley thank you." Pythia replied smiling at me. "Alright, now we wait for Ambrosia to get back. Uh, Pythia can you go see if Lillith is done with the herbs I asked for?" I asked looking at her and winked. "Of course, I'll let you know soon." Pythia replied before she disappeared. I wasn't about to let out little conversation go out in the open like that, I knew she wouldn't want it.......

**Jackson POV**

I pulled Tye from the room, his temper had been short lately and he wouldn't talk to anyone about what was going on. I shoved him down in the yard and crossed my arms. "What the f**k is your problem lately?" I snapped. "I don't have a problem." Tye snapped back. "Oh yea? Why explode on Pythia like that? In front of everyone?" I yelled stepping in his face. " I didn't mean to snap at her, it's just s**t in my own head alright." Tye replied not backing away. "Use your words dumbass." I snapped. "I just want to feel needed, is that so much to ask for? I get and understand she doesn't really need me but sometimes it would be nice you know." Tye finally said sitting down. I wanted to laugh but this was really bothering him. "Have you talked to her about it? I don't think she really knows what is going on with you." I replied. "No, I haven't talked to her about it. I don't want to seem like a whiny a*s you know." Tye huffed. "You have to communicate with her. She probably thinks you have a lot of pack business to do. Do you ever include her with any of those decisions?" I asked. "Well no, she has a lot to handle with the covens." Tye replied and I stared at him waiting for it to sink in. "I'm an idiot." Tye mumbled. "Yeah you are. You both need to include each other with literally everything. why do you think I don't mind Ambrosia doing this? She is well protected and knows how to handle a hard situation. That and I know she will call to me if she is any trouble. You have to know that about Pythia." I said. "I do know that about her, I guess there has been a miscommunication." Tye replied.

"Pythia is waiting for you at your house. The two of you will go away for the night. Alley is going to watch the kids, go and talk to her because I swear if you do that again you'll be picking your teeth up off the floor. Got me?" I said in a serious tone. I knew he meant no harm but still, "I got you. Thanks man." Tye replied jumping to his feet. I shook my head and stood back up. "You did good love." Ambrosia said walking up to us followed by Celeste and Malachi. "Thanks, he's just emotional I guess." I replied kissing her cheek. "How are the two of you?" I asked. "Nervous but good." Celeste replied. "It'll be fine, we just need to give descriptions and stuff and then we have a date." Malachi said. "It's nothing serious we just need to know full disclosure and if this will work or not." I added. "Okay, sorry this is just all so new, I'm not use to being around wolves without them trying to kill us." Celeste laughed nervously. I could honestly see why they were nervous. Surrounded by alphas and lunas that are also witches can be intimidating. “Do you have any questions before we go in?” I asked looking at them. “No, seems pretty straight forward.” Malachi replied. “I think I’ll be fine.. I’m sure they’re all nice.” Celeste added. “They are, some of them may look mean but they really aren’t and one is human.” I said. “Human?” Malachi asked. “Yes, the once Rogue king bow turned normals mate. Long story.” I replied shaking my head. “Come, we must get in there.” Ambrosia said with a smile. I nodded my head and turned on my heels. I didn’t have any special abilities but I could see and feel how nervous Celeste was. Malachi didn’t give any indications away but he was heavily guarded. This day just got a lot longer for us.......

**Hello everyone! We are about to see a little action happen are we ready? What do you’d think they’ll find when they finally go over to the other packs? Let me know what you guys think!**
