Finding His Luna

Ch. 20 The Attack Begins

Alcina slept for three days straight without waking. Xavier had begun to get worried on the third day when he heard her walk down the stairs.

"How do you feel, my love?" He asked handing her a cup of coffee. She took the cup without a word, grabbed a piece of toast, and went immediately to her office slamming the door. He waited a few minutes before following her in. "What's your problem?"

"My problem? My problem?!" Alcina said slamming her hands on the desk and standing up. "My problem is I've been asleep for three damn days, Xavier! Because my mate, my love, husband, and best friend, held me down while I was drugged. I'm furious with you Xavier!"

She yelled and threw her coffee at the now closed door, shattering the mug. Xavier could feel his annoyance meld in with hers.

"Whether you like it or not I helped you! You were broken, exhausted, and miserable! I helped you sleep." He said placing his hands on the desk and leaning down. They were almost nose to nose.

"I dont care! What you did is unforgivable!" She screamed and swung her hand up to slap him. Xavier reacted quickly grabbing her wrist and walked around the desk. "Let me go."

Alcina struggled and swung the other hand only for him to catch it as well. Even though she was angry with him he couldn't help but admire her beauty. When she was angry she was a force to be reckoned with and it made his mouth water. To see someone so small with such power and attitude. He treasure it. Hell, it turned him on.

He continued backing her up until she was against the wall and pinned her hands about her head. Even though Alcina had tried to block him out, she had never tried before so it didn't work. Xavier could feel her arousal as it began as well as smell the pheromones she let off. A small part of her still wanted to be furious, but her hormones and the mate bond made it damn near impossible. After struggling for a moment longer, Alcina gave in to her arousal. Forcedly pressing her lips to his Alcina began to allow the full effects of the mate bond take hold again. She knew Xavier wanted her as much as she did him.

After pleasuring each other they lay on the couch taking in each other's embrace. Xavier knew he would have to break the comfort before long, but wasn't sure how. How could he tell her this? She surely will never forgive him.

"My love, I'm sorry. You won't be a part of the attack." He stated simply to get it over.

"Excuse me? It's my plan." She said bolting upright.

"I need you here. The packs need you here. I won't be able to fight knowing our son's are here but we aren't." He explained touching her face. He could see the anger building until he mentioned the children.

"Fine. I'll stay for the boys." She said leaning back and crossing her arms. "How long before the attack?" She asked.

"A month. The packs have to gear up and get their guards in order." Xavier answered pulling on his pants. Alcina stayed quiet as they both dressed.

"Listen, you better come back to me Xavier. Promise me?" She said looking up at her mate.

"What? Don't you think I can handle it?" He asked sarcastically.

"Promise me Xavier." She said sternly and he dropped his smile.

"I promise. I could never leave you." He said kissing her lips followed by a hug.

A month late alcina paced her bedroom floor as Xavier showered. Her anxiety had gotten so bad that the doctor actually gave her a prescription for it. The water shut off and seconds later Xavier came out of the bathroom nude while drying his hair. Looking her mate over she moaned, catching Xavier's attention and warning a grin.

"I've still got some time, you know?" He said stepping to her and rubbing her arms. Alcina couldn't help but want him. Heat season was approaching quickly and she could already begin to feel it's effects.

"Then let's make good use of it." She said slamming her lips into his. Two hours later the couple headed the the clearing they had met in. They stopped Infront of the large group before Xavier addressed the crowd.

"We get one good shot at this. I want everyone on their twos. Group A you will attack the south while I go with group B and draw them from the north. Groups C and D you get east and west. We attack at the same time once you see the red flare. Everyone clear on the rendezvous? Good. Let's get to work." He said before turning to his mate. He kissed her deeply before shifting to his wolf and running into the woods.

Alcina went home and placed her son's in the front room. The four of them played and watched movies as a distraction for Alcina. However, nothing could calm the worry she had for her mate. It crept in and intruded her every thought. Hours felt like an eternity and her panic began to truly set in as the sun set. Placing her son's in their proper beds, she stepped into her bedroom and watched out the window towards the woods. Xavier had told all the wolves and witches to meet at their house on the edge of the woods.

She waited for almost two hours before a large silver wolf  with two witches on it back came limping from the woods. It's fur was stained with blood and one of the witches was clutching his side. Jumping into action she grabbed the large first aid kit and ran outside to treat the wounded.

"What happened? Where is everyone else from your group?" She asked applying pressure to the witches wound. "There are spare clothes just inside the door."

The large wolf limped to the door before disappearing inside.

"We got split up. The rogues had extra guards at the south. I saw a few others but it was pure chaos. I'm lucky those two found me." The man panted. The female witch seemed to be unconscious so Alcina linked the pack doctors. She told them to bring all available hands because from the looks of these three, there would be a lot more than what her first aid kit could handle.

"The king found the cave. There were nothing but chains." Eli said stepping out of her house in fresh clothes. For a moment she was stunned. So he had a wolf after all.y
