***Demetri's POV***

We walked towards the landmarks that Landon gave with conjecture. There were no buildings, no signs of life. An empty field sat in between a scattered orchard of dying trees.

"Um, we might have been lead astray." Lindsay guessed with a look of bewilderment.

"Everyone search the ground." I ordered.

The faces of Jak and Max made me uneasy.

"Alpha Demetri, I'm not sure she is her." Jak stated while scratching his neck and nibbling his bottom lip aggressively.

"We search, leave no stone left unturned." Alex demanded.

In a straight line, we processed the barren earth beneath our boots. We walked off grids as we stared straight towards the dead grass that crunched under our feet.

Every foot of land we covered, created an aching thrum in my stomach.

She had to be here. Somewhere.

After half the field had been covered, I decided to change tactics.

"Alright, we aren't getting anywhere. We shift and use our heightened senses. We aren't leaving until "L" is found." I commanded.

I jumped into the air and landed as Renzo made an appearance.

"Ok, Buddy! I'm counting on you. Find Collin's mother." I stated.

"I got you." Renzo promised.

Collin came up from our backside and immediately shifted. We weren't sure what her scent would be. We just hoped we could catch a break.

Hours collapsed as darkness seeped thru the sun's warm glow. We were exhausted. I was struggling to keep our party focused.

I saw Efran shift and we all followed quickly.

"Here!" Efran bellowed over the fields.

We rushed to his side and began digging around a rusted metal hatch.

Collin grabbed the hatch, ripping it from its corroded hinges.

The smell made me gag.

Lindsay and Alisa began emptying their stomachs among the brittle blades of grass.

"Let's go." I screamed.

One by one we descended the flimsy ladder to the bottom of the underground dungeon.

Tools of torture lined the walls. Blood had been sprayed along the concrete flooring.

The smell of rotten flesh, bodily fluids and sweat saturated the thick air.

We walked in darkness down the long corridor, listening for sounds of life.

We were not prepared for what laid before us as we pulled open a door at the end of the hall.

Chained to the wall, emaciated, a skeletal figure laid stone still.

Collin remained frozen in a state of utter shock.

I ran towards the lifeless captive and searched for a heartbeat.

"Alive." I yelled.

Efran and Max each took turns breaking the sturdy manacles that tied the victim to it's pier.

The withering form dropped slowly into my awaiting arms.

We ran thru the underground bomb shelter towards the hatch. I carried the body in my arms, chanting prayers, we could get it to the medic in time.

We ran back to The Red Moon pack, everyone in wolf form aside from myself.

I deposited the sickly figure in a bed at the pack house hospital, backing away as they began working on who I presumed was "L".

Collin paced the halls outside the room where our rescue was being steadily worked on. Exhaustion had caught up with all of us and it was time to make our way home.

"Keep us updated." I encouraged Collin while we said our goodbyes.

"Sure thing." Collin confirmed.

The rest of us shifted and headed back home.

I collapsed on my bed after a quick shower, pulling Alivia tightly against my chest.

"Goodnight baby." I whispered as I kissed her hair.

"Goodnight my love." She responded.

<<<<<<<

Week's went by as the prisoner, we referred to as "L", continued to grow stronger. She was in a coma, on her body's own accord.

We stayed in constant contact with either Max or Collin. Whenever she finally woke up, we would have serious questions that needed answering.

As far as our packs go, we were growing stronger. The rescues from the rogue pack were meshing nicely and almost all the men had been accepted as members of The Red Moon Pack.

Collin's pack was growing larger. This was perfect!

The children were being retrained and rewired to be pups instead of soldiers. They integrated well and we all found joy in their growing smiles.

My Elite Ladies had taken the initiative to council the women from Landon's previous pack. They found value in building up these women. I could not have been more proud.

Max and Jak had quickly become very dear friends. Their love was a strong ray of sunshine and we relished in giving them space to flaunt it.

Like The Crescent Moon Pack, Collin's pack was accepting of whatever sexuality the Moon Goddess had bestowed amongst her wolves.

Alex and Alisa had shared exciting news with the pack a few days ago. Alisa was pregnant, we would be growing our already large pack. This left Lindsay and Alivia yearning to follow close behind.

Efran and I could not agree more. We were ready to have pups of our own. As the weight of Landon's pack lifted from our shoulders, there was no time like the present to start a family.

Alisa was overjoyed with her pregnancy, the hormones only seemed to encourage her tender nature. She was a gem to be around. Her happiness continued to seep into any one who spent time around her.

Alex seemed ecstatic at the news of becoming a dad. My mom was already planning the nursery and the baby shower.

Mom and Dad were back to normal. Actually, they were better than normal. Mom was carrying a new pup of her own. Magically, their little reunion, had been the perfect time to conceive.

We were very happy with that news as well. I hoped for another brother, but a sister would be just as good.

As if our own pack wasn't growing fast enough, Collin shared the announcement that Ivana was expecting not one but two pups. It was quite odd to have three women pregnant at once and all due within a few days of one another.

However, the electricity in the air around the three beaming women made everything perfect.

<<<<

A few more week's went by before Collin sent word that Lily, L, had woken up. We gave him time to confirm her identity and once he was satisfied with the evidence he brought us in to have a conversation.

Her body had become closer to healthy, her weight still low but, definitely an improvement.

We set up to go tonight. The quicker we got our answers, the better off we would all be.

"Guys, be ready by 10." I reminded Alex and Efran.

"Yes, Alpha." They agreed.

I left my office to look for Livy. I missed her and wanted to spend time with my mate before I went off to the meeting.

I spotted her with my mom, doting on both Mom and Alisa. Alivia was a fantastic Luna, the Moon Goddess had blessed me immensely.

"Hey Kitten, can I steal you away?" I offered while kissing her neck.

"Alpha!" She squealed.

I pulled her into me and hiked her onto my shoulder, before giving her a pat on the bottom as I walked her to our suite.

Once we got there, I took no time to deposit her into the bed and crawl on top of her.

"I missed you kitten." I whispered in between kisses.

"I missed you." She purred.

I laid kisses upon her neck and shoulder while I unclothed her goddess like body. She was so fucking gorgeous.

"Someone's eager." She giggled.

"I am." I confirmed as I trailed licks and bites down her firm abdomen.

I could tell she was excited. Her scent was licking my senses.

As I got to her thighs she quickly let them drop on either side and opened like the delicate flower she was.

I ran my nose thru her folds, moaning as I licked my lips and laid a deep wet kiss into her center.

My cock immediately sprang to life, hungry to be suffocated in her tight walls.

I buried my face between her legs and took my time reacquainting my mouth with her juices.

"Fuck you're perfect." I growled.

She ran her fingers delicately thru my hair as I ate her like a starving man.

She quickly unraveled beneath my tongue, screaming my name between pants and moans. Her sounds eliciting strong growls of approval from my chest.

"I'm gonna fuck you." I announced.

"Yes." She whined.

I grabbed her legs and wrapped them around my waist as aligned my steel lust at her entrance.

In one swift motion I plunged my dick straight into her core, making her gasp and dig her nails into my shoulder.

"You're mine." I grunted thru deep thrusts.

"Baby." She cried.

"Say it." I demanded.

"I'm yours." She panted.

I started thrusting manically as she whispered words of encouragement between her cries of pleasure. Her walls swelling around my manhood.

I held her legs tightly while hitting her cavern with a deadly force.

She smacked my shoulders and I pulled back worried I was hurting her.

"Kitten did I hurt you?" I worried.

"No" she confirmed.

She rolled over and stuck her ass in the air while she buried her face into the covers.

I mounted her, sliding quickly into my slice of heaven.

I wrapped my hand in her hair and began pounding her round ass into my hips.

"More." She screamed.

"Renzo will take over." I warned.

"Let him." She croaked.

That was all the invitation he needed.

"All yours buddy." I confirmed.

"Mate is fucking delicious." He grunted.

I watched as Alivia took every inch of me. Her body shaking as Renzo delivered each strong strike.

"Fuck, I'm gonna cum." She writhed.

"Cum for me kitten, cover me in your pleasure." Renzo cooed.

Alivia let out a guttural moan as Renzo slowly dragged out her orgasm.

She splayed across the sheets, but soon was riding me like a bull.

"Make me cum, little one." Renzo demanded.

Alivia bounced swiftly on my cock and I could hear Renzo's excitement.

My hips lifted continuously, driving Alivia's body forward.

Renzo smacked Alivia's ass and her pace became ridiculously fast.

"Make me cum again." Alivia begged.

"Alpha's gonna fuck you dry." Renzo bellowed between forceful thrusts.

"Yes, more, harder. Fuck me harder." My kitten pleaded.

Renzo grabbed Alivia's hair and pulled her down to him, ravaging her lips with nips and kisses.

"Cum for me, now." Renzo roared.

He bit harshly into Alivia's mark while she writhed above him, her crashing climax shaking her in the most delicious way.

He yanked her off the bed and slammed her body against the wall, hooking her knees over our forearms. His thrusts became greedy and lust driven as he chased our finish.

"Your pussy is fantastic." He growled.

"You are everything." He promised.

"Goddess fuck." He roared so loudly the door shuttered under the echo.

Before I knew it, our hot seed was exploding into our mate's wet core.

"I love you Livy." Renzo crooned as he walked her to the bed kissing every inch of her body.

I took back control and was left panting as I pulled Livy into my chest.

"Fucking fabulous." She whimpered.

"Did we hurt you?" I asked.

"In all the right ways." She basked.

"I love you kitten." I whispered.

"I love you Demetri." She spoke before falling to sleep.

Once Alivia was completely out, I took a shower and went to meet up with Alex and Efran. Wanting to get this meeting over with, so I could come ravage my mate once again.
