Welcome to the next installment :)
If you are new to this story, I will recommend reading Deny Thy first, but, to each their own!

If you were willing to follow me this far, I appreciate it muchly! This has been quite the adventure eh? So much going on it making my head spin!

"You can't be serious," the man said, looking over the document in his hand.

"As crazy as it sounds, I'm dead serious. You need to get your ass there and get him out of his rut, his haze, his whatever the fuck he is in! The shit starting up is going to attract way too much attention, and you know that isn't something we need!" Tsunade narrowed her eyes at the man.

"Mah, what a hassle this is." Kakashi tucked the few pages in his pocket. "I'll talk to the pack and see who wants to go on a little wilderness trip." He laughed when Tsunade snorted out at his label.

"Don't be gone too long. Some of the council members have been stripped of their titles and power from the evidence found and I don't need anyone thinking that you taking off across the planet is a subtle way of hiding something." She tapped her nails on the desk, giving him the don't fuck up look.

Kakashi pinched his lips together. The investigation was still going strong, some of the stronger council members having more ability to fight back, thus causing things to drag out longer. The more power and money one had, the easier it was for them to keep the investigation on hold. "Any success finding Sai who shot Naruto with the silver?"

Tsunade frowned before reaching over to open her bottom drawer. The frown continued as she pulled out a glass and poured herself sake. Bringing it to her lips, her golden eyes glared at Kakashi before dipping the shot glass back and slamming it to the desktop. "Since no gun was ever found in any of the searches, there are no leads." She saw Kakashi's shoulders slump slightly. She inhaled deeply before sitting back in her chair, a few blond strands of hair falling over her face. Her eyes watched her fingers wiggle the shot glass as she exhaled slowly. "Even though Naruto can identify Sai being the shooter, he has disappeared off the grid. Without Sai, we can't even pull Orochimaru in for questioning, even though Sasuke identified that Sai worked for Orohimaru. There is no evidence." She pulled her strands of hair back behind her ear. "I'm afraid that particular part of the investigation may go cold."

It was Kakashi's turn to sigh.

"Though silver isn't illegal, it is when using it on werewolves, but again, we need more solid evidence." Tsunade poured herself another shot, downing it quickly, before putting it to the side. "Back to business though. Get going, make it quick, and I'll mention how you are on vacation." She sneered at him with a chuckle.

"Hai Tsunade-sama," Kakashi bowed before taking his leave from the office. He had a pack to go visit.

==x00x00x00x00x00x==

Pushing the eggs around the pan, the smells and sounds of the eggs cooking filled the kitchen up with the heavenly mouthwatering scents. Kakashi inhaled deeply, a smile on his lips as he slipped into a chair at the kitchen table. He tilted his head while watching the blond alpha wiggle his hips and bop his head while pushing the eggs around in the frying pan. Kakashi could see the ear buds in his ears, the white cord leading from his ears to some hidden area where it was most leading to his music player. Laying his head on the palm of his hand, he waited until he was noticed.

Twirling around with the pan of scrambled eggs in his hand, Naruto squawked when he saw Kakashi now sitting at what was once an empty kitchen table. "Jeezuz Kakashi!" Naruto stabled his hand before losing all the eggs and threw a glare at the older man. He immediately scraped them into a bowl before putting the pan in the sink. Grabbing the toast that just popped, Naruto buttered the pieces and put them on a plate. He raised an eyebrow at Kakashi, who remained silent, just watching Naruto move about the kitchen. Naruto shrugged and headed for the fridge, grabbing a large red tomato. He quickly sliced it up and put it with the toast on the plate, then spooned a heaping amount of scrambled eggs from the bowl. Sliding the bowl of what was left of scrambled eggs to Kakashi he muttered out, "I'll be right back." Naruto took the plate of eggs, toast and tomato and left the kitchen.

"Good morning Kakashi-san," Sakura sang out when she entered the kitchen a few minutes later. "How have you been? Coffee?" Sakura began to fill the coffee pot.

"Fine fine Sakura-chan. And yes please," he nodded with a smile. "Is everyone home?"

"Mhm," Sakura called out while grabbing mugs, placing them on the table. She eyed the bowl of scrambled eggs and smiled. "I see Naruto has been here already." She grabbed the bowl, putting it to the sink.

"Aye...he was making breakfast when I arrived. Left with a plate." Kakashi nodded his thanks when Sakura brought him a cup of coffee.

"Ah yes," she smiled. "For Sasuke of course," she nodded, taking a seat. It had been five months since Sasuke became part of the Uzumaki pack. The pack was overjoyed to see their alpha bonded and mated and having a new member join the pack. Not to mention the alliance between Uzumaki and Uchiha becoming stronger. Though there were some disgruntled feelings when the Uzumaki pack learned of the raid and they were not informed of it, feelings turned to sorrow when it was learned Kyuubi was there but didn't return to the pack. Naruto was naturally optimistic that Kyuubi would return soon, and the pack could only hope for the best.

"Good morning Sakura-chan, Kakashi-san," Kiba called out when he entered the kitchen. "Man I'm starving!" Hinata entered in behind him, smiling at Sakura and Kakashi.

"Glad you are all here," Kakashi spoke up. "I have something to discuss with you, when Naruto returns." The pack members gathered their coffee and food, sat at the table with light conversation until the blond alpha returned.

Sometime later, the blond alpha returned to the kitchen, grabbed a cup of coffee and joined the others at the table. "So, something to share this morning Kakashi?" All the pack eyes zoned in on Kakashi and silence settled.

Kakashi pulled out the papers from his jacket. "There have been reports gathered from an area near the Beaufort Sea, from the NorthWest Territories." He folded out one paper.

"The what and where?" Kiba piped up, trying to grab the paper from Kakashi.

"Way way north Kiba," Kakashi pulled the paper back and gave Kiba a scowl. "Locals that live in the forest area along the coast line, have been reporting stories. First the stories were of loud strange sounding howling. The locals started telling stories of the Wendigo, which is odd, since that indigenous tale comes from the further eastern areas, but mah, that's beside the point." Kakashi waved his hand about when the pack appeared to be leaning in closer. "The stories were mostly ignored by outsiders."

"Then came the reports that bears, wild cats, local wolves, practically all predators had been disappearing." Kakashi rustled the papers about. "When that started happening, naturally, a host of biologists became curious and research teams were sent out to determine if there was an environmental situation happening. The results were photographs of large footprints, and several sightings of a large mammal, bronze in colour." Kakashi slipped out a few photos onto the table. Naruto was the first to drag one of the photos over, Sakura looking on as well who sat next to him.

The figure in the photo was taken from a distance, the blob was out of focus probably from moving but the colour was there, and Naruto knew immediately. "It's Kyuubi," he said with sadness in his voice. "He must be lost to his wolf? What happened Kakashi?" Naruto's hand fisted, his blue eyes iced over as he looked at another blurred photo.

Kakashi shook his head sadly. "The only time I had seen him was right after the raid. The building went up in flames that night, thankfully I was able to get him out of there unseen." He gathered the papers and photos up. "We need to get him out of there before he stirs up more interest from the outside. I'm going up there and as his alpha, I would like you to join me-Naruto." Kakashi tucked the papers away into his coat before resting his forearms on the table, lacing his fingers together, his brown eyes focused on the blond alpha.

"You know, I could go no problem," Kiba piped up, waving his hand back and forth. Kakashi's eyes only flickered to the beta before back to Naruto.

Naruto leaned back in his chair and ran his fingers through his thick locks. "Kakashi, I-I…" he stuttered out. Naruto worried on his bottom lip, his mind working full tilt at the new situation put before him. It had been almost a year that Kyuubi left the pack, before Naruto woke from his coma. He went off on his own vigilante quest, determined to find out who shot Naruto. Since at that time nobody knew who did it. He was surprised to hear that Kyuubi was working undercover, relieved to hear he was okay but was disappointed that Kyuubi hadn't returned yet. Naruto figured that Kyuubi needed time to himself. To either find answers or find himself, who knew. But now he had a newly acquired mate, and his wolf did not accept the thought of leaving his mate for an undisclosed amount of time.

A soft warm hand fell upon Naruto's shoulder. "Naruto, go. Bring him home." Sakura's voice broke through Naruto's thoughts, his blue eyes looking up on her in surprise. "The pack is here to care for each other." Sakura understood the alpha's thoughts on leaving his newly acquired mate. She studied enough werewolf analogy throughout the years since she worked in the medical field.

"We need to get him out of there before he attracts too much attention." Kakashi stressed again while Naruto's mind continued to be a whirlwind of thoughts. "I suspect we shouldn't be too long, maybe a month? Depending on what the issue is."

"Okay, when do we leave?" Naruto finally spoke up, his jaw firm, eyes steady on Kakashi.

"How soon can you be ready?" Kakashi countered, his fingers tapping the table top. He eyed the other pack members at the table. The other members eyed Naruto, waiting for his response.

"Give me a couple days," Naruto whispered out. He had to quell his alpha and tell Sasuke what the plan was. Though he was sure Sasuke probably wouldn't mind his leaving but their wolves for sure wouldn't like it. But if Naruto was completely honest with himself, he didn't like the thought of leaving Sasuke either. Being the newest member of his pack and his mate, Naruto wanted to agree with his inner alpha.

"I'll be in touch." Kakashi got up from his chair. "Thanks for breakfast though. You're a good cook Naruto. Kiba, Sakura, Hinata." He gave a nod to all of them before leaving the room.

"What do you think the problem is with Kyuubi?" It was Kiba that broke the silence first.

"Do you really think he may be lost to his wolf?" Hinata spoke up first glancing at Naruto, who's eyes were focused on his fingers. She placed her hand on his arm softly, getting his attention.

"What could have happened to him should that be the case?" Naruto placed his hand over Hinata's and gave it a few pats. "I'm going to bring him home, don't you worry." Naruto gave the pack a grin. "But, I need to talk to Sasuke." He pushed his chair back, standing up and headed out of the kitchen. Three sets of eyes watching him leave.

Twisting the door handle slowly, blue eyes peeked through the crack of the now open door of their room before slipping in quietly. His eyes scanned to where the large bed was in the corner of the room, the fluffy white comforter covering a lump and Naruto could see the black tufts of hair sticking out from the comforter near the head of the bed. Looking at the side table, the plate of breakfast was still untouched. Naruto frowned at the plate, then the mound on the bed before closing the door quietly and making a beeline for the bed. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he pulled the cover down slightly, until he could see Sasuke's face. Well kind of. His long black hair had fallen across his cheeks and over his eyes. Naruto could hear the steady breaths, which meant the feisty omega was still deep in sleep. Naruto frowned again. 'He was awake when I brought him his breakfast,' he grumbled to himself. Even his inner alpha was emanating it's dislike seeing the unfinished breakfast.

"Sasuke," Naruto put his lips close to the dark hair, inhaling the scent. "Sasuke, time for breakfast." He pushed the black hair away from the smooth face and planted a soft kiss on his temple. Sasuke's eyelids squinted and a muffled mumble came from his lips. 'Adorable,' Naruto purred. Black eyes peeked out between long lashes and Naruto smiled, placing a kiss on Sasuke's nose. "You didn't eat your breakfast. Tsk tsk. Come on, wake up." Naruto ran his fingers through the black strands. "We need to talk."

Sasuke's eyes fluttered fully open and he stretched out, groaning out to the snaps and pops of his muscles. "Talk? About what?" he grunted out while moving to sit up against the headboard. He scratched at his scalp while suppressing a yawn. His nose picked up the scent of food, his head tilted to the side as he inhaled the scents.

Naruto chuckled watching Sasuke's nose twitch about, following the scent. Naruto then grabbed the dish and fork, stabbing some eggs and holding it under Sasuke's nose. "Eat," Naruto's voice was firm.

Sasuke gave the blond a glare. "I can feed myself dobe," he grumbled out but opened his mouth anyhow, accepting the fork full of eggs. He then took the plate and fork from a giggling Naruto, settling it on his lap to begin eating.

"I brought you some orange juice too," Naruto moved the glass closer to the bed. "I thought you were up when I brought you breakfast earlier."

Sasuke hummed out a shrug and continued eating. "More tired than I thought I guess. You wanted to talk?"

Naruto shuffled up onto the bed, sitting beside his mate, watching him eat. "Kakashi came by this morning to share information on Kyuubi." Sasuke stopped eating and turned to show his surprise in his eyes. Naruto nodded and grabbed Sasuke's hand, guiding it back up to his mouth that opened automatically, allowing the fork full of eggs and tomato to go in. Naruto inwardly chuckled at the site. "Yes, you heard me right, Kyuubi." Sasuke nodded his head as he chewed.

"The issue is, I believe he is lost to his wolf. Stories started coming up from the locals, environmental issues evolved that had biologists go to the site and I guess photos came up too." Naruto shook his head sadly when Sasuke's eyes widened even more at the word 'photos'.

"You can't be serious? Photos?" Sasuke asked when his mouth was clear. He knew that photos from the human world could mean a world of danger for their kind. Not to mention if the counsel finds out, then they would get involved to correct the problem right away that could mean almost anything, including death.

"They aren't to bad, still fuzzy and from a distance, but I could tell it was him. I have to go to him Sasuke." His blue eyes flickered between the two deep dark eyes, pleading with him to understand.

Sasuke pinched his lips into a frown. Naruto heading off to who knows where for who knows how long, his inner omega wailed out, not agreeing at all that the alpha was leaving. He looked down at his plate, pushed around a slice of tomato, while he thought about what he was just told. Sure, he could understand the importance of family, making sure they were safe, the Uchiha pack being a prime example of when Sasuke ran from his pack. He pinched the bridge of his nose. He didn't particularly want to think back to that time in his life.

"Sas?" Naruto put his hand on Sasuke's arm, the warmth spreading out throughout his fingers as soon as he touched the omega. "If he's lost to his wolf, I need to bring him home…" he trailed off.

"Then go to him," Sasuke whispered out, his eyes not looking up and focused on his plate.

Naruto pressed his forehead into Sasuke's shoulder. "Thank you," his voice breathed out, sounding relieved. "I would be back as soon as I can. Now finish your breakfast." He pressed a lip on Sasuke's temple. Sliding off the bed, he took off his shirt, throwing it on the bed before moving to slip the rest of his clothes off. "Imma going for a shower," he winked while slipping his pants off.

Sasuke peeked up to see that Naruto had no underwear on. 'Of course,' he snorted to himself. Naruto tossed the pants on the bed while leaning over to plant a kiss on Sasuke's forehead before heading to their attached bathroom. When the door closed, Sasuke reached for the forgotten shirt on the bed, pulling the fabric to his nose and inhaled deeply. His omega fluttered about in the scent and Sasuke felt calm immediately. He tucked the shirt under his pillow and went back to finishing his breakfast.

A couple days later, Sasuke was sitting in an oversized chair, blanket over his legs and reading a book while Naruto planned his trip to retrieve Kyuubi. Well, he wasn't exactly succeeding in reading, since the pack was a buzz of activity. Naruto packing and barking out orders, the rest of the pack helping him plan what to take and what route to take, Sasuke sighed and closed the book, giving up. Pulling out his phone, he texted his aniki. Within moments, his phone pinged indicating Itachi's response and Sasuke read the response, releasing a hn and moved to get up.

Dodging the other pack members, Sasuke made his way to his and Naruto's room. Nobody seemed to notice, all busy with getting Naruto ready. Digging in his dresser for clothing, Sasuke pulled out various articles of clothing, placing them on the bed neaty.

"What are you doing?" Naruto's voice floated into the room, causing Sasuke to jump slightly. "Sorry sorry," Naruto immediately responded, after seeing Sasuke jump. He quickly wrapped his arms around Sasuke's waist, placing kisses onto the back of his pale neck.

Sasuke tilted his head slightly, enjoying the attention before grabbing at the blond locks and turning those blond lips towards his. His inner wolf purred out and vibrated emotional triggers that left Sasuke shivering with need. Suddenly he wanted the alpha naked, on their bed and succumbing to Sasuke's advances. He turned around, so they stood chest to chest and he thrust his excited member hard into Naruto's groin. He inwardly grinned hearing the immediate heavy heated response from Naruto's lips as the alpha squeezed him in closer.

"Ah f-fuck Sasuke," Naruto growled out when he broke the kiss. "Do you have any idea how fucking bad I want you." Naruto started nipping at Sasuke's chin and jaw, his hands running down Sasuke's back to grasp his ass. "Your smell, your taste," Naruto purred out as he moved his lips down Sasuke's neck and licked. "I want to taste every inch of your skin, bite it, mark it and feel your heat...mmm fuck yeah." Pulling Sasuke in against his body, he rubbed his swollen manhood into Sasuke's, causing his primal alpha to heighten his senses of lust. His body heated up instantly and a desire to claim the omega washed through him like a tidal wave.

Sensing nothing but the omega's desire, Naruto was blinded to anything else other than Sasuke in his arms. Sasuke was responding wildy to Naruto's touches, his body wiggling, shivering and moaning out so sexy like, Naruto hoisted Sasuke up with his hands still on his ass and moved the two feet to the bed, dropping them both on the soft mattress. Naruto continued to assault Sasuke's shoulders, neck and collar with nibbles and bites, while his hand moved south to rub at the prominent bulge confined in Sasuke's jeans. The alpha growled out loudly in Naruto's ears after hearing Sasuke groan at the touch. Sasuke's body was quivering and twitching about from all of Naruto's touches, exciting the inner alpha to the hilt.

"Fuck Sasuke, your beautiful, sexy, hot," Naruto mumbled out while his one hand squeezed the outlined cock and his tongue moved to Sasuke's nipples. Sasuke arched beautifully as Naruto nipped and suckled at the rose colored nipples and squeezed the omega's cock harder.

"Mmm...Naru-f-fuck!" Sasuke breathed out from the overwhelming sensations. He couldn't keep his legs from trembling and tried to squeeze his knees together, but Naruto wouldn't have that. When he would clamp his knees, Naruto would slide his fingers down beneath his bulge, pushing his fingers hard against the seam of his jeans. He would push hard enough that Sasuke could feel the pressure on his entrance, that shot explosive sensations throughout his body, and he couldn't suppress a lewd whine of want. His legs felt like rubber as he struggled to keep them upright, while the alpha assaulted his senses.

With a flick of his fingers, Naruto quickly released the button to Sasuke's jeans, swiftly pulling them down and exposing Sasuke's heated flesh. Licking his lips, he pressed kisses around Sasuke's groin, inhaling the rich scent that sparked like a match to an explosive gas. The heavenly smell that overrun Naruto's senses had the inner wolf claw at the forefront, demanding release. The alpha's desire to devour his mate was so strong, Naruto's body was on fire. His cock pushed against its confines, painfully so, his ball sack was so tight and pulsed, Naruto felt that if he didn't sink into his mate soon, he would combust. Naruto clenched his muscles, as he fought his inner wolf to not take over. He didn't know why, but the alpha wolf within, if it took over, the love session Naruto was working towards may become a full black out, lust induced, complete with clawing and biting down to a rutting and rough mating session. The inner alpha wolf was still all animal with animal tendencies, that Naruto just couldn't let escape. He wouldn't forgive himself if he ever ended up hurting his mate.

A quick painful tug to his hair, Naruto hissed out between clenched teeth and his now yellow eyes looked up from his position between Sasuke's knees. Red eyes met his own, half lidded and lust blown, a small snarl of impatience upon those plump pouty lips. Sasuke had become impatient, and the pull continued on Naruto's head, letting the alpha know. Naruto gave a wicked grin in response, before quickly enveloping Sasuke's cock between his lips. The sudden move had Sasuke's head drop back on the mattress, his toes curl into the sheets and a deep sultry moan rose from the omega's lips. Naruto rolled his eyes back into his head hearing and tasting everything that was Sasuke.

"Ngh...s-shit...uhh," Sasuke mumbled out as Naruto bobbed between his legs, deep throating his manhood. His fingers ran through the blond locks, squeezing and guiding those sinful warm lips into his groin. "S-shit, f-f-uck, take it," Sasuke purred out. The coil tightened quickly when he felt his entrance breached with skilled fingers that curled and stroked his sweet spot. His back arched unexpectedly as the explosion of pleasure coursed through his body, releasing his milky load in the back of Naruto's throat. His body jerked about, while the muscles spasmed while the effects of the orgasm flowed through his body. His knees quivered around Naruto's head, who hummed and slowly lapped at the sensitive omega cock, until Sasuke's body calmed, and then whimpered slightly, as his cock was now overly sensitive.

Naruto rubbed his thumbs on Sasuke's hips while his yellow eyes watched Sasuke begin to relax from his orgasm. Releasing the now softening member from his lips, he planted soft kisses in the crease of Sasuke's legs and groin, purring in satisfaction. Naruto crawled up and over Sasuke's body, planting soft kisses on the milky skin along the way, his fingers trailing the smooth muscle lines before diving into Sasuke's lips for a deep kiss. Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's neck, pulling him in to deepen the kiss and suckle on the alpha's tongue.

Sasuke's wolf rumbled deep within him, triggering sensations that seemed to heighten the desire for the alpha. Sasuke shivered uncontrollably suddenly, feeling an intensity of wanting this alpha here and now. His hands shook as he pushed on the hem of Naurto's jeans, growling slightly when he found that they wouldn't come off immediately. His fingers then tucked under Naruto's soft shift, finding the alpha's soft but hot skin. His hands pushed up the fabric, his intent clear to Naruto, that he wanted this fabric off now.

Hoisting himself onto his knees, Naruto gave a lust grin to Sasuke below him. No words were said when Naruto slipped out of his shirt tossing it to the side. His yellow eyes sparkled with delight when he licked his lips and hummed at the taste. He slid his hands slowly down his chest, pinching his nipples and hissing and shivering slightly at the touch. Half lidded red eyes followed Naruto's fingers, those swollen kissed lips were parted and panting slightly and Naruto nibbled his lower lip when his fingers went to undo the button of his jeans. With the omega below him watching him so intently, practically bleeding out sexual heat, Naruto's inner alpha snapped out suddenly, causing Naruto's lust to intensify 10 fold.

Naruto's head fell back, a growling howl released from his throat, sounding dark and deep. His arms shook while he took his jeans and underwear off, his eyes never leaving the glistening milky skinned omega before him. The omega was lying and quivering slightly as he released a heady scent that had Naruto's cock practically pulsing. Those red lust blown eyes, pink tongue licking at those lips, flushed cheeks against that milky skin, Sasuke could never have been more beautiful. Pushing his tan hands on Sasuke's thighs, Naruto lifted Sasuke's knees gently to his chest, exposing the winking entrance of the omega. It glistened with slick, the sweet scent of it hit Naruto's nostrils and guided his thick mushroom head past the rim.

Sasuke's entrance pulled Naruto in, and both men groaned out deeply, as one was breached, the other was sheathed. Naruto slid his hips back slowly and began a rhythm, his yellow eyes focused on watching his cock slip in and out of his mate. Sasuke's body quivered out at each thrust, the walls clenching around Naruto's cock and the slick coating creating squelching noises heightening the alpha's excitement. Leaning forward, pushing his hands on the back of Sasuke's legs, Naruto pistoned his cock deeper into the omega.

Sasuke's mind was in a cloud of pleasure. The alpha's thick girth stroked all the ridges of his entrance, leaving no time for a breath it seemed. Not that it mattered, who wanted to breathe when there was an ocean of waves slamming pleasure into every millimeter of his body? His body was singing in ecstasy and his wolf was drowning in pleasure just as much as he. He let the alpha take the reins of pushing the non stop erotic sensations into the depths of his soul.

Naruto put his feet onto the mattress on either side of Sasuke's hips. Balancing his tan hands on the back of Sasuke's legs, pushing those knees into Sasuke's chest more and having that smooth ass elevate higher, Naruto leaned forward slightly so he could plummet his thick cock into the tight heat deeper and faster. Their bodies bounced slightly as the alpha pounded into his mate. Growls and purrs erupted from both bodies, sloppy filthy kisses were heard as tongues and teeth lashed together. Claws scratched down backs and scalps, spurring on the intensity of the demand. Naruto's deep breaths panted out heavily as his heavy thick sack began to tighten, slapping against the smooth milky skinned ass. He could feel his cock throb with the oncoming orgasm and his pace erupted into unhinged pounding against Sasuke.

Sasuke's eyes were squinted closed, the vibrations of the alpha's love making dissolving any presence around him. All he could feel, taste, hear was Naruto. As if the alpha's waves were enveloping and swallowing him in a surge of pleasure. His wolf called out for something, something that felt like it was wanting to quench its thirst, Sasuke couldn't understand. There was a need, a pull, a tug, something the omega quested for and Sasuke bit his bottom lip and opened his eyes.

Yellow dilated eyes glowed with heated desire into his own. Sasuke's wolf howled out, clawing at the forefront. That overwhelming feeling again...Sasuke shook his head, the best he could, while the waves of ecstasy smashed into him with each thrust from Naruto. His wolf cried out in want and Sasuke's head fell back as he felt the crash of his orgasm spur throughout his body. He couldn't control the twisting of his muscles, his essence spurting out in all directions but the alpha held him still enough to continue pounding into his prostate.

Yellow eyes narrowed at the site, Naruto's tongue continuously licked his lips as his hips sped up the pace. So close now, he could feel the tension in his heavy sack, his alpha pushed harder and Naruto could feel his canines poking his tongue. "F-fuck Sas, fuck yeah, I-I'm fucking going to bury my knot so deep, fill you up so much your stomach will pop out," Naruto growled out.

Sasuke's wolf was immediately keen to this verbal outburst and he finally understood. He grabbed the blond wolf's neck, pulling those lips into his own, thrusting his tongue into the alpha's mouth. "Fill me alpha, give me your fucking knot, make it stick!" Sasuke snarled out as he rocked his hips, encouraging the alpha's erratic thrusts.

Naruto snarled out and howled as the final slaps of his groin struck home deep into Sasuke. His knot swelled hard and fast into Sasuke's entrance, pumping out his seed deep with the walls. He collapsed gently on Sasuke, his hips still trembling after shocks into his omega. His knot was locked within Sasuke's walls and his body shivered when he felt Sasuke's wall constrict around his cock.

Sasuke breathed out heavily, feeling the after effects of the thick knot embedded in his walls. His muscles contracted involuntarily around the alpha's thick girth, and it caused him to shudder and goosebumps to rise at each contraction. Feeling Naruto's knot, he felt at peace and settled. The wolf's thirst had been quenched when it received the full solid feeling of the knot in place. He ran his fingertips up Naruto's back in a soothing manner, while Naruto panted out deeply into his chest. Sasuke winced slightly when he slowly put his legs down, his muscles not pleased with having been stuck in their love making position for long.

Brilliant cobalt eyes lifted immediately after hearing the whimper, concern etched in his face. "Did I hurt you?" Naruto's husky voice whispered out. He shifted slightly, not wanting to cause any discomfort to Sasuke. He ran a hand along Sasuke's hip, and rubbed his thighs in a soothing manner.

Sasuke just tsked in response and shook his head no. With some effort, Sasuke maneuvered Naruto behind him, so Sasuke's back was nested into Naruto's chest. Sasuke's lips released pleasurable moans when Naruto's knot moved about within. Together with Naruto kissing his neck, rubbing his chest and stomach softly, Sasuke could feel the excitement building up again. 'Stupid horny beast,' Sasuke thought to himself but allowed a small smile to play on his lips.

"Sas…" Naruto murmured into his neck. "What were you packing?"

"Hn," Sasuke hummed in response. "I'm going to stay with my aniki for a bit while you are gone." He moved his hand to run his fingers through the blond locks, pulling Naruto's lips harder into his shoulder. Naruto stopped kissing him suddenly.

"Why do you need to go?" Naruto's alpha wasn't pleased with the thought of his mate being with another pack.

"Why would you ask?" Irritation rose immediately in Sasuke.

"Sasuke. The pack will take care of you while I'm gone. I don't like the thought-"

"You think my brother's pack can't take care of me?" Sasuke huffed out, irritation now clear in his voice. His hands were now clenched in his chest. The sudden sexual excitement was now gone and anger was replacing it.

"What? No! Of course, but you can stay-"

Sasuke began to move away. The knot swelling had decreased enough to release the two. He hissed slightly, feeling his entrance quiver when the softened alpha cock slipped out. He squeezed his thighs together slightly when cum began to trickle out. A muscled arm wrapped itself around his midsection, stopping his movement.

"Sasuke wait," Naruto growled out, pulling Sasuke back into his chest. Sasuke grumbled out under his breath but relaxed into Naruto's hold. "Why are you getting all mad?" Naruto placed his chin on Sasuke's shoulder while rubbing his hand on Sasuke's stomach. "Come on…" he pleaded.

Sasuke exhaled a loud irritated breath. His inner wolf poked at his emotions, urging him to submit. "It's still my family Naruto. I still work for the club too." His stubbornness wasn't allowing anymore of an explanation.

"Of course you can go to your family Sasuke. I just want to make sure your safe is all. My wolf is already not happy with me leaving you as it is." Naruto placed a kiss on Sasuke's temple.

"Hn," Sasuke responded. His stubborn streak still not allowing him to speak more. He began to shimmy himself away from the alpha and Naruto only pulled him in closer.

"Aw come on Sas, we okay?" He began to nibble on his shoulder, his fingers teased his nipples.

Sasuke relaxed in the blond alpha's hold. His inner wolf purring at the attention. "I'm sure Itachi's pack is perfectly capable of ensuring my safety too. I'll make a deal." He shifted so he was now facing Naruto on the bed. "I'll stay with Itachi the nights I have to work."

Naruto moved forward, pushing a kiss on Sasuke's button nose. "Deal," he whispered out. Naruto then moved to poke his tongue out and licked Sasuke's bottom lip. Sasuke opened his mouth and pressed into the awaiting lips, a groan escaping from him as he deepened it. It was some time before the two got back up again.

Kakashi arrived later that afternoon. Naruto was packed and ready to go. The two dropped their backpacks, along with their clothing onto the porch of the Uzumaki home and wandered out several yards into the grass. Wasting no time, both men transformed into their wolf forms. Naruto, his thick muscles rippled under the dirty blond coloured fur and he shook his head firmly, fluffing his fur out. Kakashi was a tad smaller than Naruto, appeared to be more lean but his fur was of different shades of gray. He too shook his head, his ears flickering about.

Sasuke tucked Naruto's clothes into the backpack, while walking up to his mate. He ran his palm up the smooth muzzle up to Naruto's wolf head. The wolf pushed his head up to Sasuke, and Sasuke wrapped his arms around the massive wolf head. Sasuke pushed his forehead against the top of Naruto's head, squeezing his arms as tight as he could. "Be safe," he whispered. The wolf growled out in response, his ears lying flat down. Adjusting the straps of the backpack, Sasuke attached it to Naruto before he burrowed himself into Naruto's neck fur. His inner wolf was wailing inside, only understanding that the alpha was leaving. The emotions pushing at him were difficult to suppress and Sasuke just inhaled the alpha's scent to help.

Sakura assisted Kakashi with his backpack and gave the gray wolf a scratch behind the ears. "You both send us regular updates, got it?!" She then shook her fist at the two wolves who in response huffed out. "And be safe, get back as soon as you can." Her eyes watered slightly as the two wolves began to turn.

The blond wolf turned his head slightly at his mate. He nosed Sasuke's side and brought his large tongue to lap at his cheek. Sasuke swatted at the wolf. "Gross dobe," he sputtered out, wiping at his cheek, but the large wolf didn't miss the blush and smile. "Go, so you can be back sooner." The wolf nodded and blinked before looking over at the gray wolf. Both nodded and sprinted off. The Uzumaki pack watching the wolves disappear quickly through the thick forest.

Sasuke wiped his hands with a rag and tossed it to the top of the bar. Running his hands down his long sleeves, removing unseen dust, he stepped through the crowds of grinding, dancing and swooning bodies in the direction of the office. Grabbing a bottle of water on the way, he quickly stepped up the stairs and slipped into the quieter room. Flopping on the couch, he laid his head back, closed his eyes and enjoyed the much more quieter area.

"Troubles otouto?" A smooth deep voice cracked through the dim lit room.

"Just tired niisan," Sasuke breathed out. He turned his head and opened his eyes to see Itachi sitting at his large desk, gathering up various papers. Grunting slightly, he sat up and cracked open his water bottle, taking several long gulps.

Black orbs looked over at Sasuke, scanning every inch of his body, taking in his movements and scent. "Are you sure you're alright? You don't have to stay-"

"I'm fine!" Sasuke suddenly snapped back at him. He almost growled too but he stopped himself after seeing Itachi's shocked face. He sighed out heavily, running his hands through his hair and slouching his shoulders.

It has been just over a month since Naruto's departure and his wolf paced around constantly in his mind, triggering emotions that went from worried, to terrified, to annoyed and just pissed in a whirlwind. Most times he found himself flopped and listless in the middle of his bed. After the first week, a message came that they had reached the Canadian border, but the NorthWest Territories tip they still had to get to was at least another two week trek at a full run. Thus, their time to get up there and back was for sure going to be longer than a month.

Sasuke found himself spending time at the Uchiha packs home, but after a night or two, he found himself becoming incredibly anxious being out of the familiar comfortable scent of Naruto. He would return to their room at the Uzumaki packs home and roll around in the bed. In secret of course. Pulling some of Naruto's clothes out from under his pillow, he would often lay and inhale the scent for as long as he could. The scent of the alpha calming his inner wolf long enough so he could fall asleep.

"Our parents have requested a dinner this Christmas," Itachi blurted out. Sasuke flicked his head in his direction, his eyes narrowing slightly. Itachi placed the now neat stack of papers in a folder, placing it in a desk drawer. "I'm assuming they want to know how you did with your studies, how your general health is and they may ask about the pack." Itachi leaned back in his chair, folding his fingers in his lap. "Your thoughts about meeting them?"

"No," Sasuke said flatly.

Itachi huffed. "What are you afraid of Sasuke?"

Sasuke released a deep growl and turned his head away. How could he face his parents, the ones that held their eldest child in the spotlight for so long because he was alpha. The pride of their clan. The pinnacle of their existence. When he was just-just the second best. The one who was late in his awakening, therefore the disappointment.

"Sasuke," Itachi spoke out, seeing his otouto's face cloud over with emotion. Since Sasuke had accepted his status as an omega, became bonded, mated and dare he say happy, Itachi found it easier to read his little brother more as of late. "It may not be-"

"No," Sasuke spat again as he stood up. "I'm going home." He began to walk for the door.

"You can't hide forever otouto. It would be good for you, your wolf and them." Itachi quickly spoke out, causing Sasuke to pause at the door, his hand just holding the door knob.

"Do you need me to stay?" he hissed out.

Itachi gave a sad frown at his brother's back. "I want you to be healthy otouto, go home and get some rest." He heard a slight tsk, before Sasuke slipped out the door, mumbling a good night. He hoped his otouto would at least think about it.

Sakura sat on an overly large arm chair, situated on the front porch of the Uzumaki home, a fuzzy throw around her shoulders and a book in her lap. She reached for a steaming mug situated right beside her on a small table. Sipping at the tea, she glanced over the lip of the mug to the coloured trees. Autumn had come and the trees were bursting colours of orange, red and yellow. The colours blended beautifully together with the evergreens that never changed colours. She inhaled deeply, enjoying the cool autumn scents mixed with her hot tea.

She sighed out deeply as she read the note that had just come that morning, from Naruto and Kakashi. The pair were traveling north through the Rocky Mountains through Alberta, Canada, so they had less chance of being seen. The problem was, it was the terrain that was slowing them down. Nobody said traveling through the Rockies was going to be easy. As always, Naruto asked the pack to take care of Sasuke, let him know he loved and missed him, and would be back as soon as possible. Sakura could see the strain on Sasuke's mental health with each passing week, so she brought him healing tea herbs, organic vitamin enriched foods and tried to get him to talk more. Sasuke would always give a weak smile of thanks for the food and often retreated to his and Naruto's room. The rest of the pack would gently attempt to get Sasuke to participate with them, but often he was sleeping or getting ready to go to work at the club. Other times he informed them he would be staying at his brother's for the night, but he would never stay away longer than a couple nights.

Naruto and Kakashi had been gone for 6 weeks now, and Sakura thought she may have to call on drastic measures to ensure Sasuke was remaining healthy. She sipped at her tea as the morning sunbeams began to burn away the night fog that was starting to lift.

A movement in the far corner of the forest caught her eye, and she kept her mug to her lips to hide her eyes looking towards the movement. If it was someone that was dangerous, she wanted to ensure that she got a good look first. She saw a man, standing just slightly in the light, enough to show himself, the rest of him hidden by the tree. She tilted her head suddenly, sniffing at the air. She didn't find any dangers in the taste of the air so she leaned forward in her chair, blindly putting her mug down on the small table beside her and not letting her eyes leave the figure of the man in the far distance.

The man then stepped out fully into the sun and Sakura could see that he was carrying nothing but the clothes on his back. He did turn to look towards the tree, nodded his head and then began walking towards Sakura. Sakura suddenly stood up, her eyes squinting to get a better look at the person that was approaching her home. His walk was not aggressive, but he did step with caution and Sakura could sense that this man was wary of her. She waited patiently and her body tensed slightly, preparing for practically anything.

The man stumbled suddenly and fell into the graveled ground that was part of the pack's driveway. Sakura heard the man whimper out in pain and she immediately ran to him. He struggled to get up, but she reached his side before he was able to even get up on one knee. Sakura's brows furrowed when she got a good look at the man that struggled to get up. His arms shook violently as he tried to hoist his body up. His skin was an unhealthy gray, his bones were visible, and she could clearly hear him struggling to catch his breath. This man has obviously been without a healthy diet for sometime, or he was suffering from a sickness. But Sakura could smell no sickness, she only scented one thing...beta.

"Hey, take it slow, I'll help you up." Sakura assisted the man to sit back, his arms resting on his knees and he hung his head, catching his breath. "Sakura waited patiently for the man to catch his breath and held her fingers to his wrist. She cringed slightly feeling the emancipated form while trying to find his pulse. What has he suffered from? She gnawed at her bottom lip in worry as she counted his pulse. To slow, he's seriously dehydrated, malnourished as well, I need to get him inside. "Can you stand? You need some water. I'm a doctor, I can help you," Sakura placed her hand gently on the man's shoulder.

The man's body shivered suddenly under her touch but he lifted his head, and he tilted his head slightly, so his muddy hair fell to the side of his face. Sakura could see the red tinge to the extremely dirty hair. Tired, dull purple eyes looked up to Sakura's teal green and she could see the lines all throughout his face, hollowed cheeks and cracked lips. The beta wolf shifted his hand to reach around his back, his eyes never leaving Sakura's until he flipped his hand up, producing a slip of paper between his fingers. "H-Help my m-mate, p-please…" He then fell unconscious into Sakura's arms.
