Training (2)

Maya's POV
Ok, so the random attack on Athens was a bad idea in retrospect. Amber and I both were huffing around the training grounds. Honestly with two, and as skilled as Amber was I figured it may work in my favor. But, damn the bad luck. To see the flustered look on Athens's face as he had to chastise us. Priceless...
"Surprise attacks like that happen often?" I heard Amber ask next to me as we finished the last lap.
"Kinda, been a recent development." I shrugged smirk still in place. My eyes caught movement as I grabbed Amber and rolled with her out of the way. Getting into a fighting stance. "Asshole!" I snapped as I swatted at a grinning Athens. I turned to see Hawk already at Amber's side helping her up. So I kicked Athens in the shin.
"Brat!" Athens shouted back rubbing his leg.
I stomped past him, all the way to the house. Ok, so we were still a bit childish. After the s**t, I had been through and the bits that had yet to come I was allowed an outburst now and then.
"What happened?" I heard Joe before I saw him.
"Some days I want to struggle Athens," crossing my arms over my chest. My foot-stomping for good measure.
"Hahaha," Rumbled Joe, his big hand scooping my waist to him. Wrapping his arms around me, he held me close. "I would expect nothing less from my badass little mate." He tilted my chin up, "I have finished up final plans, a group of Alphas have come together and hired a liaison to help with customs among most of the packs there." You could feel a relief wash over him as he said that.
"Oh, do we have a name?" I asked sliding my hands up his chest and my tiptoes helped me reach the back of his neck to pull him down closer to me. y
His chest rumbled, "woman," the word held a multitude of meanings. Mostly it held his want and need when I did these things to him.
"What wolf?" I huffed as my lips were just inches away from his. I could see Ravi on the surface. His eyes glowing bright green.
"Keep this up and I will rip those clothes off you and make you scream my name while the windows remain open," Joe's chest continued with the low rumble as he eyed what I might do.
I leaped at him, my lips finding his as his arms crushed me into his chest. I groan as I wrapped my legs around his waist climbing him like the wolf tree he was. My shirt was ripped in half as was my bra. He fell with me to the bed. My legs only moving long enough to feel the fabric split and expose skin.
"Joe," I yelped as he thrust in quickly. His pace was furious. I took it, I NEEDED it. This was not about love this was about the release. Getting rid of those binds that trapped us the last couple years. The tension that we held back clawing to the surface now.
His thrusts slow slightly as a rumble built in his chest. He opened his eyes to show me their glow. "Ravi," I breathed.
He growled in response. I had met Ravi this way only a few times. I let Reina my wolf come to the surface. I felt my teeth elongate, and my nail lengthen. My growl rumbled in response to his. Both of us raised our heads, biting down on the opposite shoulders as we climaxed. Our canines subsided, while our breathing continued to match each other in its slowing.
"What the f**k was that?" I asked, looking back at my big wolf.
"No clue," He eyed both shoulders of mine. "We just marked each other on the other side." His voice seemed shocked.
"Is it the same?" I asked.
"It is," his eyes going back and forth to make sure.
"What does it mean?"
"We will have to ask." Joe rolled me over so I laid on top of his chest, looking down at him.
**************
I found need clothes and the others away. I headed to the kitchen and started making lunch. I knew people would be coming in hungry.
"You still mad at me?" I heard Athens say behind me.
"No," I chuckled. "I couldn't be mad at you long." I turned to smile at him.
He sniffed, "Why do I smell fresh blood on you?" The was a hint of a growl in it.
"Joe and myself's wolves decided to mark each other a second time." I shrugged pull my hair up to show my shoulders in the spaghetti-strapped top I wore.
"Hmmm, that is new." Athens's thoughtful look in place. "They match perfectly."
"I wonder what it means?" I turned to finish getting lunch ready.
"Could be needed for the old packs that began in Europe." His words are thoughtful. "I know they have certain criteria for their leaders. " Wolves are creatures of the Goddess and she would make sure they are followed well."
"Valid point," Joe mentioned as he walked the already small kitchen. Grabbing a plate on the counter. I smacked his hand. Handing the plate to Athens.
"That has his blood food in it." I snapped.
"Easy darling," he lifted his hands in surrender. "Pregnancy hormones must be kicking in," he chuckled as he swatted my butt and snag a plate in one move.
"I... ok maybe." I nodded as I placed some plates on the table for others to grab.
Both Athens and Joe laughed. Eating the walked out to the back porch where the breeze was cooling off the area while the shade helped. Mortou, Amber, Hawk, and the kids came in to grab the plates I set out. Each going to their spots like clockwork. Mortou and Jewel sitting down for their round of video games. Mortou would win then Jewel would win. It was an ongoing battle that did not seem to be ending anytime soon. Hawk, Amber, and Ronan always headed out back to a tree that Amber seemed to connect to. Hawk my son sat to watch Jewel and Mortou play.
Things were becoming ever so normal again. Which in my life meant, s**t was about to kink up and go sideways fast.
