Chapter 18 - Double Heat
                    The entire pack celebrated their defeat over the Black Sphere witches, even if it was a relatively uneventful fight.  It gave them hope that the next battle would be won in the same manner.  They were all impressed by those from the White Raven and their fighting abilities.  
	
	As the celebrations started wearing down at sunrise, Jasmine told Aaron that they needed to go to bed.  He thought she was exhausted from the night's activities, but as soon as they walked into their bedroom, she was all over him.  
	She was kissing him while trying to take off both her clothes and his at the same time.  Aaron didn't know what had gotten into her to have this desperation.  Then he took a whiff of the air.
	"Jasmine, stop for a minute and look at me."  Aaron could feel her skin flaming hot when he pulled her hands away from his pants.  Jasmine looked up at him with her face flushed and her eyes wild.
	"What's wrong, Aaron?  Don't you want this too?"  Jasmine tried to pull her hands free so she could finish getting his pants down.
	"Jasmine, I want this very much, but honey, you're in heat.  I want you to calm down and focus on me.  If we do this, two things will happen: you will become pregnant, and the being will begin his plans to attack.  I know we can do nothing to stop the being, but are you ready for us to have a pup?"
	Aaron was more than willing to take care of all her needs and have a pup, but he wanted to be sure that was what she wanted.  He watched as everything he said sunk in, and Jasmine turned a little white.
	"Aaron, do you not want to have a pup with me?"  Jasmine felt a twinge of pain in her chest, thinking he stopped her because he didn't want a pup.  
	"Jasmine, of course, I want a pup.  I have wanted to have one with you the minute I knew you were my mate.  I wanted to make sure you were ready."  Aaron wanted to kiss her, but with her heat, it would most likely prevent their conversation from continuing. 
	Jasmine smiled at him and leaped into his arms, kissing his face all over.  Aaron couldn't do anything but laugh and enjoy it.  
	"Of course, I want to have your pup, Aaron.  Now, if you don't take care of my heat, Dakota will come out and attack you."  Jasmine pulled away and quickly finished stripping their remaining clothes off before pushing Aaron onto the bed.

	Down the hall, Brandie was beginning to feel really hot while she was in the shower.  Titus was coming in to join her, and as soon as he opened the shower door, Brandie jumped on him, shoving him against the wall.  
	She started kissing him more aggressively than she had ever been before.  Before Titus could even react, Brandie grabbed him around the neck, wrapped her legs around him, and guided his already hard penis inside her wet core.  
	
	Titus couldn't believe how hot she was; it was like she was on fire.  As she started moving on him, he could smell her scent was stronger and realized she was in heat.  
	"Come on, Titus, I need you to move.  I need more.  I need you to take care of this fire inside of me."  
	Brandie couldn't get enough.  He turned around, so her back was against the wall and held her in place, slamming into her as she kept screaming for more.  After they both came, Brandie wanted to go again.  
	"Brandie, sweetheart, you're in heat.  I'll mindlink Aaron to let him know we will be indisposed for a few days."  Titus tried to mindlink Aaron, but he was blocked out.  He smirked, remembering the twins were supposed to go into heat at the same time.  Titus quickly mindlinked Aaron's parents to let them know what was going on and asked them to let the twin's family know as well.  
	When Titus turned back to Brandie, she was getting out of the shower and drying off.  She pulled his hand and led him to their bed.  Brandie crawled up first and got on all fours wiggling her beautiful backside at him.  
	Titus didn't have to be told twice.  He crawled up behind her and took her from behind.  This was going to be a long few days, and he intended to enjoy every minute of it.

	Kaleigh and Dominick looked at each other smiling after they got the news from Aaron's parents.  It looked like they would soon be grandparents to a couple of pups.  
	They informed the rest of their family of the twin's current situation.  Allannah and Dillon started laughing in excitement about being great-grandparents.  
	As the couples were taking care of the heat, the pack continued training for the next battle.  Dominick and Kaleigh took over the training sessions making everyone excited to learn from the legends.  They were both impressed with how well Fallen Eagle was already prepared, thanks to the training their daughter had given them.  
	Kaleigh was worried about something trying to attack while the Alpha and Beta were indisposed.  She decided to place another spell on the pack to coincide with the one her daughters had done.  She felt better knowing she may help keep everyone safe.
	"Kaleigh, what do you think about becoming a grandmother?  You aren't old enough to be called granny yet."  Felicia came up to Kaleigh with a smile while she was standing on the deck.  
	"I don't care what the pups call me.  It will be nice to enjoy them while I'm still relatively young.  I can't believe how much the girls have changed since they came here.  They aren't my little girls anymore; they're women."  Kaleigh felt a little weepy, seeing how grown up her daughters were.  She still pictured them as the little ones who tried to play tricks on people by pretending to be each other.  
	"I know.  I was surprised by how assertive Brandie and Jasmine were during the fight and confronting the witches.  I mean, Jasmine has always been outspoken, but I was still impressed with how strong they were.  It reminded me of you when you fought Brielle."  Kaleigh beamed with pride at how amazing the girls had been.
	"I agree.  Let's hope the next one is as easy as this one was.  I have a feeling it won't be.  I'm concerned about the reason this being wanted to wait until the twins were in heat.  I think he needs their fetuses for something.  We can't let him do anything to the girls, no matter what.  I will not sacrifice my daughters or their pups."

	The being was thrilled that Jasmine and Brandie were finally in heat.  That meant he could make the final preparations for the upcoming fight.  They should both have pups in them by the time he attacks.  That was key to his takeover of the two worlds. 
 	
	He called in his enforcers to make sure the numbers were on their side.  He needed thousands of them, not hundreds.  He had seen through the others what the three Emerald Stone witches did with a hundred witches.  There was no way he was going to be underprepared. 
	
	The lead enforcer guaranteed that they had over three thousand enforcers that would attack when he gave the orders.  The being still wasn't convinced.  Something was making him nervous about this battle.  If he wasn't successful, it would be the end of him and everything in the space between the two worlds.  
	Would he come out on top, or would the power of the Emerald Stone witches take him out once and for all?  He decided it was time to call upon a higher power to help him.  Would he help or leave him to flounder in the breeze?
