Chapter 49

Adria woke up too early morning sunlight on her face and to something that sounded weird; at first, she thought that it was snoring. When she looked around, she found Marnie and another male at the side of her bed on the floor, who had himself wrapped around her. She raised her eyebrow at this new development.
He was the source of the loud noise; he was purring; she couldn't help herself. She giggled a little at the sight. It looks like Marnie has taken in a stray kitty. She looked at Marnie’s face; she seemed so happy and content; Adira wished she had a camera.
She wondered if they would be compatible as mates; she shrugged. If they were not compatible with each other, then they wouldn't be mates. When fate has decided what tune she wants to play, all we can do is dance to the music.
Odd as it was to hear, the purring was comforting. Adria found herself sinking back under the covers and going back to sleep. Ashton opened his eyes while still purring; he smiled when he saw that the Luna had gone back to sleep.
She needed it; when they'd checked on her earlier, she still had dark circles under her eyes. He knew the effects of his purring, especially on females. He always calmed them right down; he put his arm back around his mate, kissing the top of her head, taking in the scent of her hair, smiling; he went back to sleep.

Dr. Taylor stood horrified at the creature that just bent the iron bars on his cage like they were wet noodles. It was pissed. Dr. Taylor looked for the tranquilizer gun; it was across the room. He would have to go by the creature to get to it.
The only other thing he had to protect himself was the gun in his desk drawer. The beast let out a roar. It shocked Dr. Taylor to his knees in fear. He crawled to his desk and reached inside his bottom drawer.
He grabbed the gun and stood up to face the beast before him; with shaking hands, he aimed the gun and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened; he tried again, still only an empty click. The beast turned his head and looked at him with a glowing red-eye gaze of hate.
Before he could even think or react, the beast was on him; he felt a terrible sharp pain down the middle of his body and an awful wet ripping noise.
In shock, he watched in the reflection of the glass partition as he was ripped in half. The pain was unbearable, but no scream came out of his mouth, just blood. Then he was no more, a much too easy death for the monster but fitting.
Still pissed off, the beast picked up both halves of the Doctor and violently shook them before whipping them in different directions. Letting out another ground-shaking roar, it started to destroy the room looking for a way out.

Duncan, Jack, and Archer decided they should see what was going on, though none were too eager. Still, curiosity is a bitch. All three of them went through the doors slowly, cautiously.
What they saw on the other side was beyond their imaginations. Blood was everywhere; half of a man lay about three feet in front of them; no one could tell where the other half was.
What they saw looking back at them made them all stop in fear.
Duncan knew what he was seeing; he had an encounter once with one. Nothing like this, though. He'd never seen a pissed-off one. It had blood dripping from its fur, and the look on its face was one of pure rage. Its smell made all of their noses burn. Its eyes were glowing red as it watched them.
Jack’s mind linked Duncan and Archer.."Is that what I think it is?" Archer was a little bit more worked up about it; he almost seemed happy..."Holy shit, is that a fucking Big Foot.?"
Duncan’s mind linked back as they all just stood still...."Yeah, that is what we call the Wild Man."
It just stared at them, breathing heavily. You could tell that it was still under the influence of whatever they injected him with. It turned and ran to the other side of the room; there weren’t any doors, but it didn’t matter. He made his own.
It broke through the heavy wall with two hits of its body, and then it was gone down the hall into the darkness. Archer mind linked to his brother August, telling him what was on its way to them and to give it a wide berth.
They could hear banging at the end of the other hallway and then a crash as the doors gave in, and they could see the creature silhouetted in the light from the outside. Then it was gone.
August’s mind linked his brother..."Holy shit, is that what I thought it was?" Archer answered..."yes.”
“Holy crap, Archie, what else do they have hiding in this area? A fucking Big Foot! I thought those were just make-believe.”
August and the warrior sat down on a log and lit a cigarette. August didn’t smoke as a rule, but he lit it up when the warrior handed him one and took a nice long drag. Both he and the warrior just sat there and listened off in the distance; they could still hear the Big Foot letting out howls of rage and crashing through the trees.
As they all looked around the lab, they found the other half of the scientist. They also found a whole computer full of nothing but logs and experiment results. It was a terrible account of what went on in this place and for how long. It made them a little sick to know that this was going on for soo long, right under their noses.
Collecting all the data and pictures they could, they left the room and went to join the others.
"Soon, various teams will converge here to investigate and check out all these beings, to see if any can be saved." Duncan gave out a big sigh.
Jack and Archer looked at Duncan.
"Duncan, why don't you head on back to your Luna? We know you have thought of nothing else, and your mind is only half here anyway. We will take care of everything here. Once this place is empty, we will set it on fire and then blow it to hell."
"The remaining scientists will be dealt with and delivered to our dungeons by afternoon. So go back to your pack and Luna, reassure yourself that she is doing ok, and get some sleep and time with her. You and Apollo have expended a lot of energy. Do you need us to set you up with a ride home?"
Duncan didn't need to be told twice; he didn't even answer them; he just shifted and ran off; though the distance was pretty far, they knew he wouldn't have too much trouble, and if he got tired, he could always contact Marco to send transportation.

Adira woke once again; this time, it was dark. She looked at the clock, which said 12:35 am. When she realized that she could hear the shower running, she sat up for a minute. She was unsure. She went up to the closed door and felt the presence she had needed for a long time.
She opened the door, and there, standing in the steam in all his naked glory, was the love of her life. She ran into his arms and started to cry. He held her in his arms high against his chest. Kissing her everywhere he could reach with his lips. With a sigh of contentment, he rested his face on the silky softness of her hair.
"I was going to sneak into bed with you and surprise you that way; it looks like you beat me to it, though. God, I have missed you so much. When you first ran past me, all I wanted to do was take you in my arms and leave. Lock you away with me forever."
"I know my big bad wolfie; you had things to do that needed doing. I was right here waiting for you, always and forever. Don't worry; I have been guarded night and day while resting; I have something to tell you later."
"Later?"
"Why yes, darling, after we get reacquainted again, it feels like it has been forever. I need to feel all of you, got to make sure you're not just a dream."
"That is good because I have all kinds of stuff to share with you. Later."
He put her down on her feet, taking off her comfy clothes. Her breasts were the first thing he noticed; they were getting even fuller than before because her body was getting ready for their pup. Perhaps he would be a little jealous that he would have to share them soon.
She started to lick the droplets of water off his chest, swirling with her tongue as she made her way downward. She swallowed his member whole, then started to suck her way back and forth; it drove him over the edge, and he came to his climax with a roar. She greedily sucked every drop from him.
He picked her up again, this time straight to their bed. He very gently lay her down on the sheets; he was in heaven, her scent enveloped him, and the rest of the world was gone, only her and him.
He lay behind her while she lay on her side; he pulled her closer to him, relishing in her warmth, skin softness, and scent. There was nothing else on earth like it, and it was all his.
Adira was in heaven or in a dream. She didn't care which; everything that had happened was now completely gone with his touch.
When Duncan laid his hand over her swollen womb, he felt a surprise; his son kicked him. He pulled his hand back with a grin on his face. He looked lovingly at his Mate. He just stared at her in wonder and Love.
He kissed her passionately, with all the longing and worry and now the joy he had felt for the last couple of days. Being in her arms was epic; his kisses moved down her body as she started to moan, the most beautiful music he would ever tire of hearing.
Once he drove her over the edge twice with his tongue, he moved her up against him, spooning her, gently putting her leg up over his hips, and in one thrust from behind her, he was in. finally, he was home. He reached around her and held onto her swaying breasts, fucking heaven. His movements became wild, and they both screamed as they were overcome with ecstasy.
As the whole pack could hear them, they were smiling because that meant that both their Luna and Alpha were where they belonged and were happy.
August talked to Marnie about pack rules and the hierarchy of werewolves’ lives just two doors down. Suddenly, he heard screaming and roaring coming from down the hall.
"Marnie, what was that?"
"Don't play dumb, Mr.Kitty. Her new name for him, you know what those sounds were as she turned a bright shade of red. Those sounds mean that my brother is now home safe and sound."
He wondered what she would sound like when he brought her to her climax. Baby steps, Ash, Baby steps.
