Becoming the Luna

The sight of the enemy Pack charging at them even though they obviously outnumbered Dale and Virgil five to one didn't daunt them.

They had been itching for a proper fight anyway, having to leave the fight back in the Pack House early to come look for their mates.

The fight was determined in just a few minutes, Jake's Warriors dwindling down to nothing in no time, leaving just him and Drew.

It was obvious however who both lethal Alphas had their eye on and Jake felt his strength fail him, not like he would have been able to take on both Alphas if it hadn't, hell, he wouldn't even be able to take one on even if he had Drew to back him up.

The way his Warriors had been disposed off would break any leader's spirit but his pride wouldn't let him surrender even as he and Drew get circled in by the prowling Alphas.

Braun was a smart Warrior, he would know to take the Omegas away… come to think of it, how had the Alphas found them, linking had a distance limit and the other party had to be sensitive to your call.

Drew on the other hand was calculating the path of escape with the least risk, his hands had been tied while he watched Jake's father ruin his childhood, he wasn't going to let the bastard be the reason he lost the rest of his life as well.

He could see the bloodlust in these Alphas eyes though, there was no negotiating with them, Drew and Jake were standing in their way to their mates and that was all there was.

He waited for the perfect moment when they would both strike, their movements were faster than he had anticipated and he could only save the both of them if for once in his life, Jake listened to him.

'Shift!!!' 

He linked hard with Jake just as he felt sharp teeth embed themselves in his wolf's shoulders, the instant differences in their forms would give them a little more than a couple seconds to make their escape.

Twin glows of light go off at about the same time Virgil and Dale had gone for their enemies neck.

Drew takes advantage of the brief confusion that follows, grabbing his Alpha and rolling away, dashing to hide behind a tree in the distance.

It would have been their death sentence in any other situation but just as he had counted on, the two Omegas came running towards them from the otherside of the forest.

Drew's heart still thudded painfully, blood flowing down his left hand even as he clutched Jake to himself with his good right arm, too distracted by trying to figure out if the Alphas would still come after them which was highly unlikely to notice that Jake was curled up on his leg.

The Alpha's wounds were more severe than Drew's, Virgil had really been aiming to kill him with a single attack, it was by sheer luck that he hadn't gotten Virgil's teeth to his neck or he would be well on his way to dying by then, blood streaming through his fingers from a nasty scratch on his side as well.

Drew makes no comment when Jake tucks his face into the older man's shoulder, shaking with muffled sobs - his chances of surviving his dire injuries which were made worse by the fact that he had shifted back to his human form dropping with each moment that passed.

Virgil and Dale had easily tracked the overwhelming smell of blood to where the two Werewolves had escaped to but just as they started to slink in that direction, a blur of motion caught their attention.

They turn around in time to see Hayden and Dream hurtling hand in and in their direction.

Choosing who to go after wasn't even a decision to make, both rerouting swiftly which brought them to Hayden and Dream faster.

They shifted back just as they got close enough, Virgil standing still as Hayden threw himself into his arms.

Virgil took his first real breath in nearly a day, gathering Hayden up so close and tight, taking in a deep breath of his favorite scent ever.

"Virgil? Baby? Too tight!" Hayden is quick to complain when his breath gets cut off.

Virgil's panic at this is so familiar and although Hayden feels more than a little light-headed, his knees weak from the onslaught of his mate's scent that he had been practically starved of, a bright smile makes his way to Hayden's face.

The barrage of questions that instantly follow is also not surprising, Hayden lets his mate do as he wishes, inspecting every bit of Hayden's body even as he snarls unhappily at the outfit and his bare feet, looking over his shoulder like he might like to finish something off.

Dream had slowed down too, only that Dream also did the same, the fact that he didn't come hurtling into his arms was expected but that didn't take away the sting of it.

He watches hesitation and a myriad of emotions sweep across Dream's pale face.

Dale doesn't let himself think, closing the distance between them as he sweeps Dream into his arms.

"I might have to cuff you to my bed to make sure you don't run away again." Dale murmurs into Dream's neck, his voice heavy with emotion.

Dream makes a strangled sound at this, clutching at Dale's upper body even as he takes in gulpfuls of his scent, his gag reflex instantly settling.

"I thought you wouldn't come." He says quietly, voice filled with longing.

"Where else would I be?" Dale leans forward to nuzzle his neck again - how does Dream manage to smell better each time he sees him? "I owe you something, remember?" He tags on, nipping Dream's throat just a little bit.

This elicits a soft gasp out of Dream, pleasure and promise swirling like a heady tonic in his middle.

'Well!!!' 

Jaxie practically screams in their heads.

'What's so fun about keeping me in the dark, do you have them or not??'

This brings identical smirks to both Alphas who have their mates cradled in their arms.

'Yeah we do….'
