Chapter 15
The following night Emma was awoken suddenly, her heart pounding in her chest as she looked around the room. Regina was sound asleep, her arms and legs tangled in Emma's, her usual smile plastered on her face. She listened intently for signs that the kids needed her attention, hearing nothing but silence, but felt driven to check for herself before going back to sleep. She carefully crept out of bed and made her rounds through the house, finding two sound asleep children. She glanced at the clock in Henry's room, and noted that it read three-fifteen in the morning, before closing the door and making her way back to bed.
She could smell it the moment she entered their room. The familiar scent of lilacs. It was faint, but it was there, clear as day. She smiled as she climbed back into bed and into Regina's arms, inhaling the sweet smell of lilacs radiating from her Wife's skin, when she suddenly remembered Why she could smell Regina's Wolf scent while in her Human form. Emma was peaking.
Except, Emma wasn't in heat.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Regina whispered, half asleep, when she sensed Emma was awake.
"I can smell you." Emma said, confusion in her voice.
"What do you mean?" Regina asked, fully now awake.
"Like smell you smell you. Like when I'm peaking. But I'm not in heat." Emma explained. "Unless…am I?" She asked.
"No. I can't smell you. Everything is as it normally is." Regina said, her face reading just as confused as Emma's.
"Then why do I smell lilacs all of a sudden?" Emma asked. "Not that I'm complaining." Emma smiled.
"Maybe it's just a residual scent from Wolf's Time." Regina said, wrapping her arms around Emma, pulling her close. "Go back to sleep." She whispered, as her eyes slowly closed, her forehead pressed against Emma's.
Emma fell asleep quickly, the scent of lilacs filling her senses.
The scent was still there the following morning, but was quickly forgotten as they went through their usual morning routine, getting themselves up and showered and dressed, while making sure both kids were dressed and ready for school, before heading to the kitchen to have a quick breakfast before work and school.
"Is there a candle lit somewhere?" Henry asked, as he sat at the kitchen table next to his sister, digging into his bowl of cereal.
"No, why?" Emma said, eating her own cereal quickly, taking sips of coffee in between bites.
"It smells like flowers in here." Henry said, shoveling cereal into his mouth.
"I don't smell anything, Henry." Hope said, in between bites.
"Umm…maybe we used too much shampoo this morning." Emma said, her eyes wide with shock, as she looked over at Regina, who's face matched her own.
Luckily the topic was quickly forgotten, as they ate breakfast, before making their way out the door to start their day. They drove off in separate directions, as Emma went to drop both kids off at school while Regina made her way to her office to get an early start to her day. The first item on the agenda, try to find out why Emma could smell her without peaking. She searched all the resources she had access to in her office but found nothing, and after an hour she decided she needed to abandon the search for her Mayoral duties and focus on the work that was beginning to pile up. She would continue the research at home, where she had older volumes of information pertaining to Wolf anatomy.
Around three o'clock, an hour after she left Emma after their usual lunch meeting, she started to feel a strange tingling sensation in her pants. She looked down to discover a large bulge in her lap. Panicking, she ran into her private bathroom, slamming and locking the door behind her. Closing the lid to the toilet, she pulled down her pants, releasing her large erection, feeling slightly relieved as the pressure of her tight pants was causing slight pain. She slowly started stroking her erection, closing her eyes, as she pictured Emma, imaging the way she felt underneath her, the feeling of their breasts pressing against each other, the way her fingers felt as she fingered her into oblivion. She was so wrapped up in her fantasy that she didn't realize she had started fingering herself as well as stroking her penis until she felt her slick pooling in her hand. She moaned slightly as she brought herself to a very small and unsatisfying orgasm, her penis growing flaccid in her hand. Relieved, she cleaned herself up and washed her hands, returning to her desk, diving back into her work.
A few minutes later, her erection returned, forcing her to run back into the bathroom, pulling down her pants to release the pressure on her throbbing penis. She closed her eyes again, picturing her Wife standing naked in the shower, the water rushing over her body. She pleasured herself to the image of Emma, slowly bringing herself to another small and unsatisfying climax. She barely made it back to her desk before her erection was back, a throbbing between her legs that she now knew could only be satisfied by her Omega. She shifted herself as she reached for her phone, texting Emma.
"Hi. Can you come to my office as soon as you can? I need your help." Regina texted, tossing her phone on her desk, as she tried to shift her erection to a more comfortable position.
"Regina?! Are you ok? I'm on my way!" Emma texted back immediately.
"I'm ok, but please hurry." She texted back, receiving no further message from Emma, knowing Emma was driving.
Emma came storming into Regina's office ten minutes later, rushing over to Regina as she sat behind her desk. The smell of lilacs was stronger than it had been the night before.
"Regina? Are you ok? What's the matter?" Emma asked, crouching in front of Regina.
"I…I…I need your help." She said, timidly, pointing to the large bulge in her pants. "It keeps coming back. And I can't leave like this!" She said, panicking.
"What do you mean, it keeps coming back?" Emma asked, her voice calm.
"I… masturbated …twice…but it keeps coming back." Regina whispered, her voice shaky. "I…I think it needs to come from you."
"How is this even possible? I thought it only got hard when I was peaking." Emma asked.
"I thought so too. And yet, here we are." She said, pointing to her crotch once again. "I think it might have something to do with my scent manifesting itself outside of your heat."
"Yeah, I think so too." Emma said, as she reached for Regina's hand, leading her over to the couch off to the side of her office. Regina sat down while Emma quickly made her way to the door, quietly sliding the lock into place so as to not alert Regina's secretary outside.
"I don't have a condom, so we'll have to do this a little differently." Emma smiled, quickly unzipping Regina's pants, pulling them off along with her soaking wet panties, tossing both to the side, along with Regina's heels.
Emma knelt in front of Regina, grabbing her hips, as she pulled her closer to the edge of the couch, licking the slick off of Regina's thighs, as she made her way towards her core. Regina's body relaxed instantly, when Emma ran her tongue through her soaking folds, moving her way up the shaft of her penis, until she reached the top, taking the tip into her mouth. Regina wrapped her legs around Emma's neck, as Emma took more of her into her mouth, stroking the shaft with her hand. As if she could read her mind, Emma slowly started fingering Regina as she continued to pleasure her with her mouth, her movements in sync as she quickly brought Regina over the edge. Emma's mouth filled with cum as Regina's penis went flaccid, her body twitching from her powerful orgasm. Emma quickly swallowed, before climbing onto the couch next to Regina, staring at her Wife as she sat there, her heart pounding in her chest.
"Come here." Regina whispered, her eyes remaining closed, as she pulled Emma onto her lap, wrapping her arms around her tightly.
"How do you feel?" Emma asked, as she rested her head on Regina's forehead.
"Better." She sighed, a smile creeping across her face. "But different. Your touch feels more intense. Your skin is making mine tingle. It feels just like when I'm…" Regina started to say, before she was interrupted by Emma.
"…Like when you're in a Rut." Emma finished, pulling her head away from Regina's to look her in the eyes. "I think you're in a rut, Regina."
"I think so too." Regina said, her eyes full of lust again. "And pretty far into it. I'd say almost the second week."
"But how? I thought your ruts were triggered by my heats." Emma asked, confused.
"That's always what I've been told. This has never happened before. I've never had a rut that wasn't triggered by your heats." Regina said, running her hand up Emma's jean clad thigh. "I'm sorry. This is so embarrassing." Regina said, pulling away from Emma slightly.
"Don't be sorry, My Love." Emma smiled, cupping Regina's face. "The mid afternoon booty call is exciting. We should do it more often." Emma laughed, pulling Regina in for a deep and passionate kiss.
As soon as their lips met, Emma felt a spark deep within her core, as the scent of the forest filled Regina's senses, causing them both to pull away quickly.
"Whoa, that was weird." Emma said, her head suddenly fuzzy with lust.
"Did you feel a spark inside you?" Regina asked, running her hands through Emma's hair.
"Yeah, and my head is suddenly all fuzzy, and all I want to do is rip the rest of your clothes off. Well, more so than usual." Emma said, her eyes filled with lust. "Wait, how did you know?"
"Because that's exactly how it feels when my ruts are triggered. Usually around twelve hours after you go into heat." Regina said, pulling Emma in for another kiss. "I can smell you now. Can you still smell me?" Regina asked, resting her head against Emma's forehead once more.
"Yes." Emma breathed, Regina's scent filling her senses, driving her crazy. "I have to get out of here, Regina. I don't know what's happening, but it's too intense. I don't know if I can resist you any longer." Emma said, crawling off of Regina's lap, quickly handing Regina her pants and panties.
"I'll stop and get some condoms on the way home, before I pick up Hope." Regina said, quickly pulling on her soaking wet panties and pants, stepping into her heels.
"I love you." Emma said, kissing Regina goodbye, before making her way to the door, taking a second to calm herself down, before unlocking the door and rushing out quickly, missing the small smirk on Regina's secretary's face as she rushed past her out of the building.
Emma calmed down by the time she returned to her office, which allowed her to finish her paperwork, before picking Henry up from his after school program.
"Did you get a new car air freshener or something?" Henry asked, as he climbed into Emma's yellow bug.
"No, why?" Emma asked, pulling out of the parking spot, making their way home.
"It smells like the forest in here. Almost like one of those pine tree air fresheners, but a little different." Henry said, nonchalantly, as he turned his attention to a game on his cellphone. Emma's heart started to pound as drove a little faster than she should have, eager to make it home to Regina.
"Henry can smell me too?" Emma whispered, when she found Regina cooking dinner in the kitchen.
"What? How do you know?" Regina asked, concern washing over her face.
"He asked if I got a new car freshener because my car smelled like the forest." Emma said. "What's going on, Regina? Only you and I should be able to smell our scents."
"I don't know. I can't find any information on ruts triggering heats. I don't think it's ever happened before." Regina said, her eyes scared, as she turned back to the dinner cooking on the stove.
"Hey, whatever's going on, we'll get through it together." Emma said, wrapping her arms around Regina's waist from behind, leaning her chin on her shoulder. "If I could smell anything other than lilacs right now, I would say dinner smells amazing." Emma whispered, kissing Regina's neck softly.
"Later, My Love." Regina purred, leaning back into Emma's body slightly.
"Do you think we could push the clocks ahead an hour and convince the kids it's later to get them to bed sooner?" Emma asked, her senses foggy with lust.
"Henry would notice. Hope, probably not." Regina laughed, turning around in Emma's arms, kissing her passionately. They were so distracted with each other, they didn't hear Henry walk into the kitchen to set the table for dinner.
"You guys really should wait until the small children are in bed before being gross." Henry laughed, as he pulled the silverware out of the drawer, bringing it over to the kitchen table. Ever since Regina's attack, they couldn't bring themselves to eat dinner on the dining room table, even after it was cleaned several times. Too many memories associated with the event.
"Sorry kid." Emma said, her face turning bright red, as she turned to pull the plates out of the cabinet to hand to Henry. She could tell Regina's face was equally red.
Henry quickly set the table, while Emma retrieved Hope from the den, where she was playing quietly, and within a few minutes they were eating dinner as a family.
"Ok, but seriously, what's going on? Did you change shampoos or something? Secretly burning candles?" Henry asked, diving into his food.
"What do you mean, dear?" Regina asked, putting up a slight wall.
"It smells like flowers and the forest in here. It's nice, so I'm not complaining, but it's strong." Henry said, taking a bite of chicken.
"Can you smell it too, Hope?" Regina asked, the fear returning to her eyes.
"A little. But not a lot." Hope said, not even fully listening to the conversation.
"Ok. What's going on? Why do you guys look scared? Henry asked, noticing the look of fear in both of his mothers eyes.
"Those smells, lilacs and the forest, those are our Wolf scents." Regina explained.
"Wait, really?" Henry asked, intrigued. "Which is which?"
"Lilacs, that's Mom. I'm the forest." Emma answered, looking at Regina.
"Wait, how come I've never smelled it before? Even when we're Wolves. I can't smell any of us." Henry asked.
"That's because Alphas and Omegas can only smell their respective mates. Betas can smell all other Betas, but Alphas can only smell their Omegas and vice versa." Regina explained, her eyes shifting to Hope, relieved that she wasn't paying attention. "No one other than the two of us should be able to smell that."
"Then….why can we smell it?" Henry asked.
"We don't know. Something's not quite right with us right now." Emma explained, resting her hand on Regina's leg out of habit, her touch creating lightning of electricity to shoot through both their bodies.
"Should I be worried?" Henry asked, fear washing over his eyes.
"No. There's nothing to be worried about, little Prince." Regina said, her walls falling. "Everything is going to be alright. It's probably residual stress from what happened a few months ago. We just need to let everything run its course." Regina added, her voice soothing.
By the time dinner was over, their scents filled the entire first floor of their home. They continued to apologize for their sudden scents filling the house, each time Henry assured them it was alright, he didn't mind. He liked the smell. He liked being able to sense that part of his mothers, it made him feel closer to them. As the evening progressed, Emma and Regina dove head first into research, frantically searching the old books that once belonged to Regina's father, trying to find a reason this was happening. By the time Henry came down to say goodnight, they were forced to be in separate rooms, the intensity of their attraction was too strong, making it impossible to resist each other. Their shared scent had begun creeping upstairs, filling the entire house with their scent. Their bodies ached being apart all evening, but they knew they needed to figure out what was going on.
Twenty minutes after Henry went to bed, Regina stormed into the den where Emma was sitting on the couch, books scattered across the coffee table, struggling to read the same page, as her mind wandered to the image of Regina. Regina pushed her until her back hit the couch, climbing onto her lap while she pulled her in for a strong and deep kiss, their bodies instantly buzzing with excitement as their bodies melded together.
"I couldn't do it anymore." Regina whispered, her eyes still closed, as she rested her forehead against Emma's. "I can't be away from you for one moment longer."
"I know the feeling." Emma whispered, running her fingers under Regina's shirt, the touch of her fingers against Regina's bare back sent shivers up her spine. "I need you, Regina. I need all of you." Emma said, her voice heavy.
"Upstairs. NOW." Regina said, her breath heavy, as she jumped off Emma's lap, pulling her up with her, rushing to make it to their bedroom.
The moment the door closed behind them, Emma was ripping Regina's clothes off, tossing them to the ground, as she pushed her onto the bed, shedding her clothes before climbing on top of Regina.
"Wait." Regina whispered, gently pushing Emma off, sliding off the bed, moving around the room quickly. She pulled out a dozen candles, spreading them around the room, lighting them as she went, turning the lights off. The gentle flickering of the flames causes the shadows to dance on the wall, creating a sweet and romantic scene in their bedroom.
"Just because we don't know what's happening, doesn't mean it can't be romantic." Regina smiled, as she climbed onto the bed, hovering over Emma, drinking in the sight of her, before dipping down to kiss her passionately.
As soon as their lips met, their need for each other instantly sparked, and before Emma even knew what was going on, Regina's fingers were slowly sliding through her soaking wet folds, teasing her hole, before focusing on her sensitive clit. Emma moaned into Regina's mouth, as Regina suddenly inserted two fingers, her body quivering as Regina's fingertips grazed her G-spot. She knew as soon as Emma climaxed, she would likely begin peaking, and they would be able to mate.
Within a few minutes, Emma tumbled over the edge, her heart pounding in her chest, as she struggled to catch her breath, her mind still fuzzy from the powerful orgasm.
"What's the matter?" Emma asked, looking at the slight disappointment on Regina's face.
"Nothing. I just thought that you would peak." Regina said, as they both looked between their bodies at Regina's flaccid penis.
"I thought so too." Emma whispered, pulling Regina in for a kiss. "I guess this means it's your turn." She smiled, reaching down between their bodies. "Are you ready for me, Mrs. Swan-Mills?" Emma asked, a wide smile on her face, as she ran her fingers though Regina's soaking folds.
Regina nodded quickly, as Emma inserted her fingers, thrusting slowly, knowing exactly where Regina's sensitive spot was, making sure to graze it, as she fingered her. A few moments later, Emma wrapped her free arm around Regina's back, flipping her over suddenly. As Regina's back hit the mattress, she inserted a third finger, causing Regina to arch into Emma, as she continued to thrust her fingers deep into her.
"I love you." Emma whispered into Regina's ear, as she placed soft kisses along her neck, over the scar left from their first mate, as Regina moaned in her ear. A few moments later Regina climaxed, screaming Emma's name louder than she should have, her body shaking as she came down from her intense orgasm.
"Regina! Are you ok?" Emma asked suddenly, fear running across her face again.
"I'm amazing." Regina smiled, her eyes still closed, as she struggled to catch her breath.
"You're burning up! Your skin, it's on fire! Are you ok?" Emma asked again, her voice panicking.
"I feel incredible." Regina said, her eyes slowly opening, catching the worried look on Emma's face. "Everything feel's amazing. It almost feels like…" Regina started to say, being interrupted by Emma.
"…like you're peaking." Emma said, finishing Regina's sentence. "I don't know what's going on, but I do know one thing…" Emma said, smiling, as she reached between their bodies to grab Regina's erection. "…one of us is peaking."
Emma slid off Regina, crawling towards the nightstand, pulling out the box of condoms Regina bought that afternoon, opening the package quickly, pulling the first condom off the roll, before ripping the wrapper open with her teeth. She unrolled the condom along Regina's shaft slowly, before climbing back on top of her, lowering herself onto Regina, fully taking her in. She slowly started grinding along Regina, as she thrust her hips, allowing Emma to take more of her.
"This doesn't feel right…" Emma said after a few moments, climbing off Regina's penis, pulling her into the seated position, before lowing herself back into Regina's lap, wrapping her legs around her waist, her arms around Regina's neck. They moved together, holding each other close, kissing passionately for a few moments, enjoying their favorite position because it allowed them to hold each other tightly while making Love.
"Emma…" Regina whispered, pulling away from Emma. "This isn't right either."
"I know." Emma said, climbing off Regina's lap, her face sad. "What are we doing wrong?" Emma asked, sitting back on her feet.
"We just need to find the right position." Regina said, reaching to cup Emma's face. "Lay back, we'll try that."
"No. That's not right either." Emma said, pushing her hair off her face. "I have an idea." Emma said, moving to kneel on her hands and knees in front of Regina, her back arched to allow more access.
"Emma, are you sure?" Regina asked, moving to kneel behind Emma, her hands on her hips. Emma could feel Regina's erection pressing against her core, making her even more excited. They very rarely used this position. Regina hated how submissive it made Emma, but how could she resist when her Wife was kneeling in front of her, ready to be taken from behind?
"Yes." Emma said, growing even more impatient, her need to feel Regina inside her growing exponentially.
Regina slowly pushed into Emma, until her hips gently touched Emma's ass, both gasping at the feeling. Regina slowly started thrusting into Emma, and before she could speed up, they were sharing their first orgasm. Regina pulled out, quickly changing the condom, tossing the used one on the floor before returning back to Emma, who knelt waiting for her.
"Regina…" Emma moaned, quietly. "Harder…"
"Tell me if I hurt you." Regina whispered, as she started thrusting harder and faster, her pelvis hitting Emma's ass hard, making a loud smacking sound with each thrust.
Their second orgasm came quickly, rushing over them suddenly. Regina had to pull herself away from Emma to change the condom, their desire almost getting the better of them.
"Do you want to switch positions?" Regina asked after their fourth shared orgasm, while she quickly changed the condom.
"No. Just like this." Emma moaned, as Regina thrust back into her harder and faster than they ever have, grabbing Emma's hips and pulling her against her, increasing the pleasure they both felt. Emma knew she would regret the rough sex in the morning, but in the moment, all she could focus on was the feeling of her Wife inside her, the way her pelvis felt when she slammed into her, the way they screamed each other's names with each orgasm.
"Regina…don't stop…Please don't stop!" Emma moaned, as their fifth orgasm ripped through them.
"Condom…" Regina said, not stopping as she filled the condom. "I…I need to change the condom…"
"I don't care…" Emma screamed, reaching behind her to grab Regina's hand, holding it so tight their fingers went numb. Slick dripped down both of their inner thighs, leaving four small wet spots on the bed, as Regina continued to pound into Emma. Moments before their next orgasm, Regina could feel Emma's legs quiver, threatening to collapse. She held her up as best she could, while still keeping a hold on Emma's hand.
They were no longer trying to muffle their voices, as they climaxed together again, Emma collapsing on the bed, her heart pounding, as Regina pulled out, her erection still just as hard as when they started.
"I…I don't know if I can take much more." Emma whispered, struggling to catch her breath.
"Did I hurt you?" Regina asked, rubbing Emma's back gently, laying next to her.
"No." Emma said, reaching for Regina. "It's just rougher than we're used to." Emma smiled. "I just need a minute."
"Roll over." Regina smiled, crawling in between Emma's legs.
Regina licked the slick off Emma's legs, before licking the length of Emma, settling on her throbbing clit, sucking gently, driving Emma crazy.
"I need you, Regina." Emma moaned. "I need you inside me." Regina climbed back on top of Emma, gently guiding her penis back inside Emma, causing her to wince slightly.
"I did hurt you." Regina frowned, reaching to cup Emma's face.
"No. I'm just a little sore, that's all." Emma said, kissing Regina softly. "Go slowly though. I want to make this one last." She smiled, knowing they were almost finished.
Regina slowly started to thrust into Emma, their bodies moving together like a well oiled machine, their eyes locked together.
"I…I love you so much, Regina." Emma whispered, as she wrapped her arms around Regina's back, their bodies moving slowly together, tears welling in her eyes. "I feel like my heart is going to explode…" Emma said, the tears falling down her face and onto the pillow below her.
"Emma…" Regina said, her body stilling, her heart swelling with love, as she looked down at Emma. "I've been in Love with you before I even met you. Every moment we are together, I fall more in love with you. I can feel your blood pump through my veins and with every beat of my heart, I fall more in Love with you." Regina said, tears falling from her eyes as well.
"Regina…" Emma cried, pulling Regina in for a sweet kiss. "I don't think I could live without you."
"I KNOW I couldn't live without you." Regina whispered, her tears falling onto Emma's chest.
Regina slowly began thrusting into Emma once again, their bodies melting into each other, as their final orgasm began to build. Regina held onto the base of her shaft, preventing her knot from inserting inside Emma.
"No…" Emma said, reaching to move Regina's hand away. "I want to knot." Emma said, looking deep into Regina's eyes.
"But what about the kids?" Regina asked, slowly moving her hand away.
"They'll be fine." Emma said. Regina smiled as removed her hand, just in time for them to tumble over the edge, orgasming one last time together, Regina's knot sliding inside Emma, her walls clamping down on it hard, locking them together.
Their final orgasm was so intense, and they were so engrossed with each other's bodies, they both failed to notice that the usual burst of energy that shot through them at the end of their mate continued and shot out into the room, radiating out of both their hearts, causing the flames of all the candles to extinguish and the windows to rattle. The power of their energy causes them both to pass out instantly, Regina collapsing on top of Emma, their heads resting next to each other, as a cloud of smoke encases their bodies.
"Regina?" Regina heard a little while later. Her head was swimming with thoughts and emotions, as she tried to focus on the familiar voice. "Regina, wake up." Regina's eyes slowly opened, causing a wide smile as she was instantly greeted by the beautiful green eyes that belong to her Wife. It took her a few moments to realize there was something different about Emma's face.
She was looking at the face of the White Wolf.
"Emma?" She said, reaching out towards the Wolf next to her. Her front paw made gentle contact with Emma's snout.
"Regina? Can you hear me?" Emma asked, her front paw reaching out for Regina.
"Yes, of course." Regina said. That's when the lightbulb finally went off in her head. "How can we hear each other? Why are we Wolves?" She thought, knowing Emma could hear her too.
"I don't know! The last thing I remember was knotting. Then I'm waking up next to you, looking at the Black Wolf. What happened?"
"I don't know." Regina said, sitting up to look around the room. The candles were blown out, and the light of the waning moon filled the room with light. As soon as Regina moved, Emma suddenly had a pretty good idea of what was happening.
"I…I think I might know what we're supposed to do." Emma said, her green eyes locking on Regina's. "I think we're supposed to mate…as Wolves…"
"But we can't mate as Wolves. I don't have a penis when I shift." Regina thought.
"Not this time…" Emma though, shifting her eyes to Regina's crotch, which had a new addition. "I don't know why, or how. But I think we've been given a unique opportunity to be together in our Wolf form." Emma thought, as she shifted to sit on the bed next to Regina.
"But, why us? Why were we given this gift?" Regina thought, shifting to nuzzle Emma.
"I don't know." Emma said, hopping off the bed, landing on the floor with a soft thump. "Follow me. Be with me." Emma said, standing by the foot of the bed.
"I…I don't know how to do it." Regina said, moving slowly towards Emma.
"Just close your eyes…" Emma though, licking Regina's face softly. "…let the Wolf take over. You'll know what to do." Emma said, turning around to face away from Regina.
Regina closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, as she channeled her Wolf side. Emma turned her head to look at Regina, as she took a tentative step closer to Emma. As soon as Emma felt Regina's breath against her fur, she shifted her tail to the side, giving Regina access to her vagina. Regina smelled it slightly, before licking her gently. Even in her Wolf form, she still tasted like Emma.
Regina quickly hopped up, resting her front paws on Emma's back, moving to line her penis up with Emma's vagina. Emma nodded with agreement, as Regina slowly moved to insert herself into Emma. The both howled quietly, as they adjusted to their new bodies, as Regina started to thrust inside Emma. As soon as Regina started thrusting, the candles instantly re-lite, filling the room once again in a warm glow.
"Regina! Oh god Regina, you feel so good!" Emma thought, as Regina started to thrust harder into Emma.
They continued like this for a few more minutes, both yipping and crying with pleasure, until their climax was almost upon them.
"Emma, I'm going to cum. I have to stop! I don't have a condom on!" Regina thought, trying to pull away from Emma.
"No! Don't stop! It's ok." Emma thought. Before Regina could even counter, they were tumbling over the edge together, howling loud, Regina filling Emma with her seed. She didn't stop or even slow, as slick mixed with semen seeped out of Emma with each thrust.
They continued like this for a little while longer, no longer able to remember the amount of orgasms they experienced before Regina felt her knot once again form at the base of her penis. Emma could feel Regina's hesitation, as their final orgasm quickly began to build deep within them.
"It's ok, Regina. I want to knot." Emma thought, as she could feel the top of Regina's knot.
As their final orgasm washed over them, Regina inserted her knot once again, Emma's vagina instantly clamping down around it, locking them together for the second time that evening. As soon as the knot was securely in place, they both collapsed on the ground with a loud thud, rendering them unconscious once again. A moment later, a grey cloud of smoke engulfed the sleeping Wolves, transforming them once again into their Human forms, their bodies still locked, as they slept on the floor.
They were in the exact same position the next morning, Regina still inside Emma, although her knot was long gone. They were still in a deep sleep, so deep they didn't hear or feel Ruby shaking them, trying to wake them up. When her rough shaking didn't wake them, she pressed two shaky fingers against their necks, letting out a breath of relief when she found two very strong pulses.
"Henry, take your sister out of the room." Ruby said, once she realized the position they were laying in. "You guys shouldn't see them like this."
"No. We're not going anywhere." He said, brazen. "Are they…" He asked, his voice suddenly very low.
"They're still alive." Ruby answered, feeling Henry relax slightly. "Stand back a little."
Henry and Hope took a small step back, as Ruby covered the naked woman with a blanket, grabbing onto Regina's hips, slowly and delicately shifting her away from Emma, disconnecting their bond.
"Regina, wake up…" Ruby said, shaking her once again. This time, Regina stirred.
"Ruby?" She whispered, trying to open her eyes, her long curly hair covering her face. "What? What are you doing here?" She asked, looking over at Emma, who was still asleep. Emma shifted slightly when Regina placed her hand against her face.
"The kids found you like this." Ruby said, as Regina pulled the blanket tighter around their bodies. "They couldn't wake you up, so they panicked and called me."
"They saw us like this?" Regina asked, as Emma slowly woke up.
"Yeah. Regina, you were still inside her. I had to pull you out." Ruby said.
"Oh God." Emma said, finally realizing what was going on. "Where are they? Are they ok?"
"They're right here. They're scared. Henry thought you were dead." Ruby said quietly, hoping Henry and Hope didn't hear. Ruby reached out her hands, helping them both sit up, their heads foggy, as their hair fell into the faces.
"MAMA!" Hope screamed, as she ran over to Emma, launching herself into her arms. "Mama I was so scared! Are you ok?"
"Yes, Princess. We're ok. I'm sorry we scared you." Emma said, wrapping her arms around their five year old daughter.
"Mommy!" Henry said, sitting in Regina's lap, even though he had long outgrown the ability to sit in their laps. "Mommy I thought you were dead!" Henry cried, wrapping her arms around Regina's neck, his voice so small.
"I'm sorry, Prince. You should never have to see us like this." Regina said, Henry's tears dripping onto her bare shoulder.
"We heard Wolves last night. Howling from your bedroom. What happened?" Henry asked, as his cries began to slow down.
"We'll explain it once you're a little older." Regina said, knowing there was no explanation for what happened.
"Mama, what's wrong with your eyes?" Hope asked, looking at Emma's eyes for the first time since she woke up. "They don't match anymore."
"What?" Emma asked, confused, as she turned her attention to Ruby.
"She's right, Emma. Your left eye is brown." Ruby said, causing Henry to pull away from Regina's shoulder, looking over at Emma before looking up at Regina.
"Mom, your eyes are different too. You have one green eye now." Henry said, causing Regina and Emma to lock eyes for the first time since waking up.
They both gasped when they saw each other's eyes. Both of their left eyes had changed colors. It wasn't simply green and brown eyes, it was their distinct shade of green and brown. Somehow, they now shared each other's eye color.
"Do you see differently?" Ruby asked, knowing Emma often wore contacts.
"No, I still see fine." Regina answered, her eyesight the same. "It seems like just the eye color changed." She added, her stomach in knots, not knowing what happened.
"Mama, you have a booboo too." Hope said, not paying attention to the conversation, as she pointed to the visible marks on Emma's chest. "Does it hurt?"
"Holy shit!" Emma said, not caring about cursing in front of the kids, as she looked down at her chest.
"Mom, you have it too." Henry said, looking down at the identical marks on Regina's chest.
Shooting across both of their chests were deep pink scars, similar to the marks left behind after being struck by lightning. They spanned out in all directions, down their left arms just above their elbows, stopping at their collarbones, across to their right shoulders, even down their left breasts, stopping just below. In the center of it all stood a mark that seemingly appeared from deep under the skin. A circle with a large black outline, black and white swirls of color coming together in the center, mixing to create a warm grey color, a perfect mix representing both of them. The mark appeared directly above their hearts.
"What the hell happened to you two?" Ruby asked, as they all sat in shock.
"I have no idea." Regina whispered, as she reached under the blanket for Emma's hand, holding it tight.
It took some convincing and mild bribery to get the kids dressed and fed and off to school. Ruby left to return to the diner, promising to come back once she could with Granny, hoping the older woman would have some insight as to what happened. Neither one of them went to work that day, knowing they desperately needed to spend the day trying to figure out what happened to them the night before.
"Granny thinks she might know what happened. We're on our way over now." Ruby texted around two o'clock, the time the lunch rush usually slowed down. Regina and Emma were in the den, a blanket wrapped around them, a roaring fire going in the fireplace as they scoured through a mountain of books, not any closer to figuring out the mystery than they were the night before, when Granny and Ruby let themselves into the house, bags of food from the diner in their hands.
"Here." Ruby said, handing them the food. "I figured neither of you have eaten since I left this morning."
"You would be right." Emma said, opening the to-go container that contained a grilled cheese sandwich and fries.
"Thank you." Regina said, quietly, as she took a large bite of her chicken Caesar wrap, her favorite go-to lunch. Granny stood in the corner for a few moments, letting them take a few bites of their food before making her way towards them, clearing off a spot on the table for her to sit in front of them both.
"Let me see your faces." Granny said, pulling out a small flashlight from her pocket, shining it in both their eyes, studying their new eye colors.
"I told you." Ruby said, swatting Granny's shoulder lightly. "They are exactly the same."
"Yes. You're correct. Their eyes are identical" Granny said, as if Regina and Emma weren't in the room. "I need you both to remove your shirts, so I may inspect the marks on your chest." Granny said, addressing them again. They hesitated for a moment before pulling off their shirts in unison, revealing their bare chests. They both went without a bra, afraid the extra material might aggravate the new marks.
"Do these hurt?" Granny asked, as she inspected them intently, lightly grazing her fingertips over the different marks, her face changing drastically as a lightbulb went off in her head. "I think I know what happened." Granny said, a smile creeping across their face.
"Do tell." Emma said, as they both put their shirts back on, wrapping the blanket around themselves once again.
"There is an old wives tale. Very old. So old most parents don't even tell their children about it anymore. I have only heard it a few times when I was very little, probably just a little older than Hope is now." Granny said, as the three younger women hung on every word she was saying. "The story told of two people, some stories described them as two Betas, but usually they were an Alpha and an Omega. These two individuals were so deeply in love with each other, that even death could not separate them. When an accident brought one of them close to death, the heroic actions of their mate to save their lives brought them even closer together, eventually allowing them to become one." Granny explained, as she watched the look of shock in their shared eyes. "The story goes on to explain that a freak heat/rut occurred and within twenty-four hours of beginning, they were peaking and able to mate, an unheard of amount of time…"Granny said, her voice tailing off when she saw the expression on their face.
"Regina went into a rut at three-fifteen yesterday morning. Woke me up from a deep sleep." Emma said, reaching for Regina's hand.
"Then roughly twelve hours later, my rut triggered a heat in Emma." Regina continued, squeezing Emma's hand.
"And less than twenty four hours later, you peaked and were able to mate?" Granny asked.
"Yes. Actually, I peaked, if that's possible." Regina explained.
"What happened after you mated?" Granny asked, already knowing the answer.
"We passed out, and woke up as Wolves." Emma explained. "And we can hear each other. In our heads, when we were Wolves." Emma added.
"We mated as Wolves." Regina explained, suddenly feeling subconscious of this fact. "Then we passed out again, and woke up the next morning to Ruby shaking us awake."
"And when you woke up, you shared each other's eyes and had these marks?" Granny asked, once again already knowing the answer. They both nodded. "I believe your souls became one last night. The marks on your chest, I've heard of them as well. The circle represents the full moon, the black color is Regina in her Wolf form, the white Emma in hers. The grey color in the center, represents the melding of both your souls to become one. That mark represents your shared soul." Granny explained, with a wide smile on her face.
"But wait, you said a heroic action from one to save the other's life was what allowed them to do this?" Emma asked, as Granny nodded. "But neither of us performed any heroic acts for the other."
"Emma…" Regina said, as she suddenly realized Granny was right. "…you gave me your blood." Regina said, turning her attention towards her wife.
"Yeah, but I hardly call that 'heroic'." Emma said.
"I was dying. I only had a short time before I died from blood loss. Your blood brought me back." Regina said, with tears in her eyes. "You saved me."
"It was your selfless act that allowed you two to become one." Granny said.
"So…what does this mean?" Emma asked, still in shock.
"Unfortunately, I don't know anything else. This was always an old wives tale. It's never happened to anyone. I do know one thing…" Granny paused. "When two souls are merged, one can not live without the other."
"Well fuck me sideways!" Ruby said, receiving a hard slap on the back of her head from Granny for cursing. "That's the most amazing love story I've ever heard!" Ruby said, rubbing the back of her head.
"It most certainly is." Granny smiled. "Now, let's leave them to process this new information." Granny said, pulling Ruby up and out of the door, leaving Emma and Regina alone.
Later that night, after spending an hour convincing Henry and Hope that everything was absolutely alright and this was a very good thing, Emma and Regina laid in bed together, their naked bodies tangled in each other, staring at each other, as the light from the moon bathed the room with a soft light.
"It's still really weird to see my own eye staring back at me." Emma laughed, brushing her thumb under Regina's green left eye, before pulling her in for a soft kiss. "But I definitely think I can get used to it." Emma smiled.
"Do you think we should order colored contacts to wear in public?" Regina asked, running her fingers through Emma's hair.
"I was just thinking that." Emma smiled. "But to be honest, I don't think so."
"I think people will notice that we share each other's eyes now." Regina said.
"Who cares." Emma said. "I've spent most of my life hiding who I really am. We still have to hide so much of ourselves. I don't want to hide anymore."
"No more hiding." Regina said, brushing a stray tear from Emma's eye.
"No more hiding." Emma smiled, as they fell into a comfortable silence, staring into each other's eyes. "You know this means you can't die. Not until I'm ready to go too." Emma said, breaking their silence. "You jump, I jump."
"I don't plan on going anywhere." Regina said, pulling Emma in for a deep kiss. "Not for a very long time!"
A/N: Well, I think we can all agree with Ruby. That's on hell of an amazing love story!
