A/N: Hey everyone. I'm back! Sorry about the delay in posting I had some family vacations. I should be posting if not every day then every other day.

Josh's Point of View.

When a female wolf goes into heat, a few things happen. Her body temperature rises to the point of it being unbearable, which causes her to sweat and claw at her skin to try and relieve the pain. She'll not only be fertile, like very fertile, she'll be in excruciating pain unless I'm around. According to my mom it's an intense burning pain along with major cramping plus they are extremely horny. But that's not the only thing that happens, males become very territorial. Especially because females, even those that are mated can smell when a male is near. It doesn't matter the situation, she'll instantly want more 'company'. So when I'm wanting to snap every male's neck that so much as sniffs the air because of the pheromones she's pushing off, that's completely normal.

And me growling at my mate when she inhales and smells not just me but other wolves is infuriating, especially when she moans. Sprinting up the stairs, and locking the bedroom door behind us I realize now why I had been unable to resist her all day. Her scent is so much sweeter and I can't wait to taste it, I can't wait to make her smell like me, I can't wait to hear her scream my name. Dropping her on the bed, she whimpers at the loss of contact.

'No one is to come to our personal floor lest punishment be rendered.' I warn everyone, if anyone should come up here it will be a female and only a female. Most she-wolves last 2 to 3 days in heat, their human side balancing out the she-wolf side when it would normally be 20 or so days. It is a lot shorter, but more painful if they don't have a mate or refuse to have sex.

Turning on the cold water in the bathtub, I hear the familiar sounds of her clothes shredding. Instantly I'm beside her, helping her along in the process. The pain of the heat is really starting to take effect as she groans and tries to curl into a ball. My lips place open mouthed kisses on her breasts, marking her skin with teeth before slowly moving down towards her stomach. Her soft skin, and sweet scent enveloping me. Her flat belly will eventually swell with my pups and that thought gets me even harder.

Obviously now would be a terrible time to get her pregnant with the impending war but I don't want to wait much longer. Werewolves in general love to mate, love to breed. An Alpha male is as usual intensified, we long for pups… for an heir. Once her clothes are off and she's displaying that perfect body that I intend to worship the next few days, I lift her up in my arms. Her lips connect with any piece of my skin possible as she tries to grind against me. Heat is basically designed to ensure pups are created and wolves are mated, and if I didn't put her on the pill right after we mated for the first time then we'd definitely be getting pregnant because nothing is going to prevent me from being in complete contact with her.

Setting her into the frigid water, she sighs in content. Stripping my sweats off, she moans when I step in with her. My entire frame shivers until I get closer to my mate. Me and cold baths, that's all she'll want and all she'll be getting. Settling myself behind her, my hands roaming across her frame. I can already feel the water heating up from her body, massaging her shoulders she leans into me. My hands teasingly lowering to cup her breasts. Maya shifts to flip around as soon as she feels my hardened member pressing against her back. Her lips crash against mine and like the greedy bastard I am, I swallow up every single one of her moans.

Slipping inside of her both of us groan as I throw my head back. Gripping her hips I slam her against me, not giving her time to adjust to me but it doesn't seem like she cares as she meets me halfway. My tongue playing against her hardened peaks as I let her take complete and utter control. This is what I will be doing for a good while.

This is going to be a wonderful couple of days.

Maya's Point of View.

Heat is a bitch.

Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed ravishing one another but as time went on, if he didn't touch me I would be in an excruciating amount of pain. The ice cold baths helped for the first 12 hours, they really did but after that… it set my skin on fire. Even with Josh behind me I was screaming, we even tried to take a shower with him inside me and that made the pain worse somehow even though any other time it relieved me.

I only ate meat, everything else made me sick to my stomach. So three times a day someone would deliver food outside of our door, our own private room service. Sometimes it would consist of deli meat, chicken, turkey, ham… Goddess all of that sounds good.

Heat itself was very interesting not just for myself, but for Josh. We were right in the middle of sex and when I smelt another male obviously my body responded… and Josh left. Yup, he left right in the middle of sex. A male following my scent despite the warning Josh sent out. He left me in pain and came back with his hands splattered in blood. What's worse is that I didn't care, as soon as he came back we went right back at it, he said and I quote 'You will not need another male Maya. I will show you I'm more than enough'. And he did, 10 times that day. Not like I wanted any other man, it was all the heat. Heat was a little gross now that I think about it, the blood sex, and my hair was all greasy, our bodies were all sweaty. I don't even know how I feel about it, it's a love hate thing. If I didn't have my mate to sate me then I'd definitely hate it. And afterwards, Josh informed me that he didn't kill the wolf who came to our floor. So that comforted me a bit, I'd hate for anyone to die because of my heat.

Its day three and I am still a little in heat, nothing near as bad as what I've felt the past two days. Josh woke me up this morning and of course we had sex, but I was able to shower and eat something other than meat before I craved to be around him again. He was already there with me, I just didn't have to be touching him. He wouldn't let me out of his sight since my scent was still slightly sweeter than normal and attracted a few males who had a stronger sense of smell. My mate would growl at them and they'd instantly run the opposite direction, which would only turn me on more.

Right now, I'm sitting in his lap in his office. He's nuzzling my neck, inhaling my scent and making Amber purr. In a few minutes, everyone would be coming in the office since tomorrow no matter what we're getting Kris' mom out of there. It helps that my lovely father will be out of the pack with some of his warriors to drive to La Casa Beach.

I kind of wish I'd get a vision so I could see if I live after tomorrow. I stifle my laugh at that, because my mate would not think that's funny. "Because it isn't." He mumbles in my hair that he's nudging around with his nose. "Quit thinking that way. Jax and I believe in you, you're a strong wolf."

Letting out a small awe, Allen enters the room followed by the rest of leadership who were slightly more timid to just enter without knocking. Josh's eyes glazed over, no doubt linking his father about the blatant disrespect he just showed. I get it, Allen is his father but at the same time what would he have done if Josh had just walked into his office without asking? It wouldn't have been good, let me tell you. Kris sauntered in followed by Cory and Topanga who sat beside Riley. "Alright, what do we got?"

Farkle pulls out his laptop, and Zay his phone as if they've done this a million times. They really do make a great team. "From the information we've gathered Alpha Kermit is leaving the pack house around 5 o'clock that night, since originally we wouldn't be at La Casa Beach for another 2 days. He's leaving with his best warriors."

"But no one in the pack knows why." Cory fills in ignoring the growl from Farkle. "He has been keeping the pack in the dark on everything. No one knows you're even alive Maya." He says regretfully, "Everyone, even at your young age knew you'd turn things around but he's not giving anyone hope." Because hope is powerful.

That saddens me, I know I didn't have a choice but to leave if there was even a chance of me surviving but it feels like I left my pack when they needed me the most. "She's in the cellars on the east edge of the forest."

Sighing in relief, Josh looks at me quizzically. "Why is that a good thing?"

"Closest to the forest edge." Zay, as if he knew what I was thinking lays a map out on the desk while everyone crowds around. Pointing to the eastern edge in the general vicinity of the dungeon I smile, "It's about 2 miles away from the tree line. And 50 from our pack territory."

"Doesn't that seem fishy?" Lucas questions with his arms crossed.

Kris clearly agrees, "Yeah why would he make it easier for you to come and get my mom?"

Shaking my head from left to right, I lean back into my mate. "First, no one knows that I know about his mother. Secondly, that dungeon in particular is for 'higher clientele' as my father used to put it. Leadership wolves that had been captured or high profile hostages. Not like it is any different from the other dungeon, just slightly bigger cells." But in all honesty that only gave him more room to do damage.

Topanga huffs and rubs her eyes, "Mary somehow managed to get kitchen duty." My eyes brighten, "The Moon Goddess is on our side it seems. She's going to slip a sedative that she just so happened to find in my mates office into the prisoners food. No one will see you, besides the guards. Dinner for them is served at 6, which will give you nighttime advantage."

"Which is another problem." I whisper and glance around at the wandering eyes, "I don't want to kill any Crescent Moon Pack members, for all we know they are innocent. And just like Cory and Topanga said no one knows what he's doing or that I'm alive. They are only doing what they are told, when we take the pack back, then we will find out where loyalties lie but I don't think I should kill our future pack members it will only cause uprising and turmoil."

Allen smiles at me, the first one I've seen from him since the day I told everyone my plan. Granted I've been locked away with my mate. "That's thinking like an Alpha Female."

"So then what about patrol and the guards in the dungeon?" Kris questions, obviously getting antsy.

"I mean I have the masking spray, is there anything strong enough to sedate a wolf here?"

Farkle chuckles but nods, "yes Luna of course."

Josh stares at the map, his pointer finger resting above his lip while the rest of his hand rests on his chin. "Okay so here's where we are at so far. Masking spray, sedating guards, sedating prisoners besides Kris' mother, and the dungeon on the eastern territory. Sound about right?"

Nodding my head I glance back down at the map, "Yes but the tunnels is where I'm going to gain entry. If we're lucky no one will know it is me who is there, so I can't just waltz in through the dungeon floor."

Riley saunters around the table, followed by Cory. "This one." Her finger rests on the cool paper.

"The small hatch. Is the tree still marked?" Glancing towards her parents they simply nod, "Perfect. Everyone in this room is sticking with me on this, correct?" Again they all reluctantly nod, I can't help but smile. "Here's my plan. Myself; Josh, Allen and Lucas will accompany me." Kris moves to speak up but I interrupt him before doing so. "I know you want to be there. I understand, but you can't. Your fear and anger and worry will only slow us down. In fact you won't be joining everyone else even when we meet them at our border. I need Katie to see you here and spending time with your mate as if nothing is happening. That way you have an alibi since according to her no one else knows."

He growls but reluctantly nods. "To get to the outskirts of the eastern border it will take about 4 hours, staying two miles out of their border line so they won't catch our scents. The sedatives the prisoners are given will kick in within 10 minutes. At 6 o'clock, I'll take a dart gun filled with a sedative and travel by branches of trees to get into their border. As soon as I knock out the 2 patrol wolves, that's when I'll make my way towards the tunnel, again knocking the guards out and collecting your mother. She will be weak, it's a guarantee so once I make it back to the border, Allen will you be comfortable with her riding on your back?"

Grimacing, he simply nods. Now he has to find a way to tell his female. "It's a rescue mission. The sedatives will last maximum 30 minutes on patrol wolves, can you do it?"

"Yes." I reply without hesitation, "Farkle, Zay and Cory you all will be waiting at our borderline. If for whatever reason we get caught then you will be there."

"But you won't get caught." Josh warns, borderline questions if you really listened. "Does anyone see any issues with the plan?"

"My mother isn't very trusting." Kris points out, "And after all that has happened I'm afraid she may not go willingly."

"Yes she will." I answer for him, "Trust me. Otherwise give me something that does not carry your scent that she will recognize, I also need to see a picture." Glancing around the room they all look terrified, "Riley I will link you as soon as we pass our borders. We're bringing her to the lock down room also known as the basement, so Lucas you'll detach from us and with Riley call a meeting at the training grounds to inform the pack of cancelling the trip to La Casa Beach."

Josh sighs, his fingers running through my hair, "Should they ask their Luna is still in heat and I'm occupying her. But tell them the truth, that we received information on a possible attack but we will be having a field day of sorts in the clearing that same day. Activities and food are being planned by the Gamma Females. Oh, inform your mates to get working on that." My mate jokes while wiggling his brows towards Zay and Farkle.

When no one has any issues with the plan, I glance at the bottle of masking spray. I really don't want to risk anything. Standing up, I saunter towards the middle of the room. "I swear you guys I'm not insane." Inhaling deeply, I focus on Arabella. "ARABELLA!"

Nothing.

"Arabella! I know you can hear me! I know you've been watching me!" My cheeks tinge a slight pink at the thought of what she's seen the past few days. Not that she'd really mind, "Arabella! I need your help! I need more masking spray for cautionary purposes!"

After a few more minutes of calling her name, Kris sighs. "She was a delight and all but it doesn't seem as if she's coming Luna."

Even though the others will be 2 miles out I don't want to risk anything, but seeing as I have no choice I simply shrug. "Now, Maya." Flipping around, I have to steel myself to the ground as to not jump on the red head who appeared behind me. "Ye of little faith." She arches her fiery red brow and twirls a bottle in her hand. Josh stalks towards me to protect his female from the stranger, but I simply place my hand up.

"You know I hate to be kept waiting."

Rolling her eyes, she lifts her purple dress to sit on the couch. "Oh please dear, where do you think this stuff comes from? It isn't like I can just snap my fingers and poof it is done."

Laughing I take a seat across from her, "Do you have to do certain snaps in a specific order?"

Her face falls instantly, wolves in the room already are precarious about witches I can feel the tension in our link. "It seems as if you've had a lovely couple of days. That's one great part about being a wolf, that sex drive is pretty incredible. What was it? 12 or 13 times in 24 hours? Nothing shorter than 45 minutes? Impressive Alpha." Her eyes shift to him, immediately I growl at her to get her attention on me once again. "Oh don't be so tense. I envy you. Now tell the rest of the dogs around here to stand down before I make them."

Dropping my shoulders because I know she isn't bluffing, I give them a look. "She won't hurt me."

"Nope. Unfortunately, the demon within me seems to have taken some sort of liking to you since you promised to give me your father."

"I said I would try to get you my father, please don't forget that detail." I add in, "Lest I have to deal with your wrath and quite frankly you are more than I can handle."

"Flattery won't work." She musters out while glancing around the office, "It's so… clean." Compared to her cluttered mess of a home I'm sure it is. "Now, you need more masking spray. What do I get in return?"

Smirking, I lean back in my seat. "My undying love and devotion?" You really have to know how to work with Arabella, she's a stubborn hard headed bitch but if you are a sarcastic proud she-wolf right back to her, she respects you a little more. When she simply grimaces, I know she already has something in mind. "I'm giving you my father if I can make him submit, even though he should die by my hand, what else do you want?"

Her eyes glance towards my mate, he lowly growls at her gaze. That's a good boy. "Oh easy Alpha." She says seductively, no doubt thinking of his sexual… abilities.

"Don't look at him." Amber and I growl out, my grip on the arm rests tightening to the point of my knuckles turning white. Snapping her emerald eyes back to me she shakes her head, "Silly me I thought you'd just do this out of the kindness of your heart considering you'd be getting my father and the witch or wizard that he's working with."

"It won't work, I know what you're doing." She states and twirls the bottle in her hand.

"Making you see reason? Heavens to Betsy I can't believe I'm doing that!"

Her fingers twitch beside her, "Do not test me Maya. You may be Luna, my demon may like you but we do not enjoy disrespect."

"Neither does my wolf but that is what you've been showing me. Ogling my mate as if he is your eye candy. Our love works if you respect me and I respect you." I quip in an effort to ease the tension, "Now put your fingers away, I'll put my claws away and we can discuss payment or the kindness of your heart whatever you'd prefer."

A wolf can try, can't she?

Emerald to glacier. Meadow green to sky blue, we gaze at one another. We don't look away, as we inadvertently challenge one another. She clicked her tongue, tossing me the bottle. "I expect your father, even if he is dead bring him to me." I don't even want to know.

"No problem Arabella, he's all yours. I will still try to bring him back alive for you."

Standing up, she disrespectfully bows towards the rest of the wolves in the room while I curtsey her. It's almost too damn easy to get her mad. "Watch it Maya, or next time I won't be so nice."

"Promise?"

Josh growled while she simply snapped her fingers. Letting out a sigh of relief, I fall back into the chair. She seriously wears me out that one, and we talked for maybe 10 minutes. "Well, she was friendlier this time." Kris quips, "You two have such an odd relationship."

My mate grunts, picking me up and setting me down in his lap. "Especially the 'our love' part my mate. Is there something you'd like to tell me?"

"I'm as straight as 2 by 4. You have to wheel and deal with her a certain way, almost annoy her but entertain her in the same sense, it's odd and tires me out but in the end we always seem to work things out."

Josh massages my shoulders and I stifle a moan, "Alright Allen and Lucas be ready to leave by 1 o'clock. We'll hunt for an hour to gain our strength and then we're leaving for Crescent Moon."

All bowing in respect they move towards the door, "Get some rest guys. We'll need it." I whisper knowing they heard it. And we will need it.
