The Fox Running The Pack

Allysias’ POV The pack house was so full I couldn’t think straight. I had to sneak out the back door just to get some breathing room. The past few weeks since Justin was dealt with, we have finished school and graduated. Cristy and I opted out of the prom but tonight was our grad party and we pulled out all the stops. Now that the weather was warmer, and the nights were longer. We figured it be a good idea to put the Olympic size pool to use. The pool stayed closed for the winter and most of spring but now that it’s mid-June its open and ready for business. We have two slides, a rock waterfall that you can jump off and my favorite, a rope swing two jump in with. This party was going to be our last night of freedom. Now that we are graduated Cristy and I will be starting our jobs within the pack. As if that wasn’t enough Cristy will be Eds new secretary in his and Joey engineering company. I’m going to be taking after my dad and study accounting in the fall, so I was going to be helping out in the finance department of all the companies. Then me and Joey were set to be married in November. So, this party was a big deal for us. I sat on the side of the pool dipping my feet in. The sun was high in the sky as it was about high noon. It was cooking my skin and I have only been out here five minutes. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the sun and the cool water at my feet. This pool will be packed in about two hours so I’ll enjoy the peace while I can. I have healed from Justin for the most part I still couldn’t talk about him or bring myself to look in the box he made me take from his room. The pack didn’t fight us on the actions we took against him either. People still looked at me weird though and I had to act like I didn’t hear the words they said when they thought I was out of ear shot. That’s nothing new to me though. What did surprise me though is Joeys mom. She has been on her best behavior. She comes around more doesn’t start trouble. We go there for dinner; Joey and I get to see his nieces and nephews more. My gut tells me I’m just waiting for the next shoe to drop, but Joey is so happy. I do not want to be the bad guy. I hope, for my mate, I’m wrong and she is just trying to move forward. I fell her negative words though. Even though she says them with a smile I feel like I’m getting punched in the gut every time she opens her mouth. I felt him before he got close. My body has been funny lately. I’m ready to go into heat but I’m late. I should have been in heat by now but nothing. My body is just overly sensitive and my sent has changed but no heat. Jenny tells me it’s because of all the stress my body has been under and all the meds I was on for a while. I guess it has messed with my system. Honestly, I wish it would just come and get it over with. My heat isn’t like wolves. My s*x drive goes up that’s for sure, but I don’t get any pain. My heat will affect my mate more than me. Especially because my heat last for a month and I only get it once a year. My sent will drive his wolf mad. I’m not sure if he will be able to control it. When we were growing up his family would always take him away on vacation or something when it was time for me to go into heat. “Hey sexy, what are you doing out here? The party starts soon I’m surprised Cristy hasn’t dragged you off yet.” My mate said from behind me “the house was getting crowed and Cristy was to busy barking orders to worry about me.” I said leaning back against Joeys legs. He leaned down kissing my forehead sending fireworks off within my body. A moan escaped my lips, and his eyes went ice blue. He growled and pulled my hair. Holding my head in place as he took my mouth. I love it when he’s rough. My body melted into his kiss. He could take me right here and now, I wouldn’t even object. “looks like you two need to cool off.” Cristy yelled as Joey was pushed over me and he dragged me into the water with him.  Water swallowed me whole and Joey was on top of me or I on him. I couldn’t tell which way was up or down. I let my body go limp and floated to the top. My head broke the surface and the first thing I heard was laughter. Cristy was bent over dying and Joeys Mom was standing behind her. She had an evil scowl on her face, but she got it under control before her son could see it. “Well, well, there Joey. Looks like Foxys’ sent there has got your mind a little clouded. An alpha should never have his guard down.” Deb said with a smile Joey laughed and hopped out of the pool offering me a hand. He pulled me up with ease. “relax mom I’m in my own home. Plus, I knew Cristy was there, I just didn’t care.” Joey said Cristy had stopped laughing and was just scowling at his mom. She was like me. We didn’t trust this new Debbie act. The Foxy nickname she gave me was more of an insult to me because she refused to call me by my actual name. She says it with such kindness though that people think it’s cute. All it does to me though is drive me nuts. I can’t say I hate it though because then she will just make me look petty. She has everyone fooled through. Jenny even took the spell off her, that’s how convincing she is. Cristy reading my mind grabs my hand and pulls me toward the house. “well I’m going to take Foxy to get changed for the party and Joey you and Ed need to change and put some umbrellas up at the tables ok?” “on it, boss” he told her giving a solute. I thought Cristy had saved me and I was in the clear. Then she stopped us in our tracks “Foxy dear, real fast. I just stopped by to ask if I could take you wedding dress shopping. The wedding is just around the corner and with you mother and father traveling till the weeding I figured you’d like to have a mother figure with you.” Deb said How can no one see she’s evil? She has tried to take over the wedding planning like five times the past few weeks and Joey finally had to step in and tell her to stop asking because Cristy was handling everything. I don’t want a big wedding. Joey already did the big white wedding with Sam. I feel like if I was to do a big wedding people would just be comparing me to Sam. That’s the one thing I don’t want on my wedding day, talk of his ex-wife. That is why we are just getting married in Joeys’ office by Jenny. We are just going to throw a big reception for everyone because I love any excuse to dance. I don’t need people hearing my vows to Joey. They are personal for me and him and that’s the way I want it to stay. So, I really don’t even need a big wedding dress. Any dress will do, we all know I won’t be in white.   “actually Mrs. B, Jenny and I are taking her dress shopping…” “Perfect I’ll join you ladies. Let’s do Monday at two. Ill send a car” she clapped her hands together in joy “have fun tonight I’ll be off” she said make her way from the yard. My stomach sank and I felt like I was going to be sick. Joey looked at me and seemed pleased though. Why did I love this man so much, his mother was giving me an ulcer? “I hate her” Cristy said reading my mind and pulling me in the house “yeah I’m not a fan either…”  I told her right back
