The Luna's Heart

Heat

Aiden

I was hopeful that some time away would make things easier for everyone. It had been a few days since I've been in my own home. Which means that it had been some days since I'd even seen my mate. Angel had suggested that I give her time to process everything and I hope she was right.

But, the waiting was driving me and my wolf to the brink of insanity.

I tried to do something productive while she adjusted. I had some pressing issues to occupy my time and my mind.

I have called an emergency meeting with the Counsel and some Alphas from neighboring packs. Things were getting out of control at our borders. Rogue sightings were a regular occurrence. According to all of them, it wasn't an emergency. Until A couple of our unmated females had gone missing while out on patrol. Now I'm back in a meeting with the Counsel. I have yet to mention that the everything began to escalate the day my reborn human mate was brought in. But there was no way of linking the two and I wasn't ready to put Riley in danger if I was wrong.

I did manage to get some reinforcements from a few packs. That's why I was rushing back to Blue Ridge now. There were twenty men on the way there now.

I had already called James to begin preparations for the extra people. Including, increasing the staff to handle the influx. That's a lot of bodies to house and a lot of extra mouths to feed.

It seemed like everything was starting to take it's toll on me. I was tired. Mentally exhausted. All day, pleading my case to a group of thick skulled old werewolves. Then the six hour drive back to Blue Ridge territory. Jax has been reasonably calm being away from our mate. That's to say, until I crossed the border of our pack lands. He's pacing in my mind, restless, frantic. He senses something is off. My phone had died a couple of hours ago, so there was not way of contacting my back members this far from our lands.

I reach the turnoff to home when I'm being bombarded. I was linked by several pack members at once.

'Alpha, your needed home now.'

' 911!'

'Adrian, the Luna needs you back, ASAP!'

Riley!

I put my foot to the floor and accelerated the sports car down the dirt road in the direction of the pack house. ..

Riley

I woke up sweating again. Another dirty dream about the elusive alpha. My nightgown was sticking to my skin. I strip down for another cold shower. I let out a moan as the material drags across my bare skin. My thoughts were consumed by s*x. But not with just anyone. Adrian.

Need Mate!

Lily has been frantic in my mind all night and most of the day. Telling me that I need my mate.

She keeps saying this over and over again, like I don't have any control over the man.

I stay in the shower stall for almost an hour. My skin was on fire. It takes a great effort, but I manage to get my mind and body back under control. What the hell is happening to me? I lay down on the bed naked. I can't handle anything touching me right now. Taking steadying breaths to calm my racing heart and thoughts.

Minutes into my breathing exercises, the burning starts in the pit of my stomach and spreads from the inside out. I touch my face. All sensation from the slightest touch seems to set me ablaze and pool between my legs.

My whole body is on fire.

I run my hands down my body and up my bare thighs. Stopping at my core. My fingers part the lips of my s*x and brush against my c******s. Electricity shoots through me causing another moan to escape my lips. It is painful, but simultaneously brings relief.

I bend my knees, planting my feet on the bed. Inserting two fingers in and out of my wet opening and furiously rubbing the c**t with my thumb. I bite my lips as I involuntarily let out a whimper. I am so wet down there. I'm pretty sure the sheet is wet too.

My back arches off the bed. I pull a pillow over my face in an attempt to muffle my cries of pleasure. There are guards right outside, but I'm beyond caring. I'm close...I begin moving faster. Grinding wantonly against my own hand. Fighting for relief. I pitifully cry out my release. Alpha Adrian's name on my lips as I drift off into darkness.

I hear a growl crash outside my door, but have no strength to move. There are several footsteps outside in the hall. I fight to regain consciousness.

I hear the door open and Angel's voice. "I want all unmated males out of the house now! Someone call Adrian! Riley is going into heat."

A male voice. Mr. Ass Hat. I wonder why he is in here....

"She's human. How the hell is this even happening?!" Then " Get the f**k out! All of you!"

I feel a blanket being pulled over my limp form. I can't move, but I really don't care. I feel a small relief. I can also feel the fire building inside me again. This time the male voice in the room is causing my body to react. But it's not Adrian's.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Josh, get the f**k out!"

mmmm....Josh.

My wolf is purring. For some reason she is very interested in the intruder.

I find the strength to lift my head and look at the unmated male in the room as he's being thrown out of the room by the Ass Hat.

"Adrian will f*****g kill you, i***t!"

The man is being held back, his eyes black and feral as he tries to fight past the guards.

Angel pushes me back on the bed. I feel a cold rag being applied to my forehead.

"Hang in there, honey. Adrian is on the way. He can make all of this go away."

"I hope you're right...I can't take much more of this..."

Then I hear my wolf whoop in triumph. As I am once again consumed by darkness.
