(Can You Smell) That Smell

A/N: a few people have told me they like Alessio's POV better, and I think I do too- I know it's certainly easier to write than Luna's is... What about the rest of y'all?!? Speaking of Alessio, this next chapter is in his POV as well!

Alessio POV

"Ugh, my head!" Glancing over my shoulder, I chuckled quietly as Luna rolled over, and right off of my couch; sitting up from my desk, I went to help her with a roll of my eyes as she glared at me. It's not like I'd poured all that Wolfsbane down her throat! "Why'd you let me drink so much?!?"

"Baby," I scooped her into my arms and lavished her faces with kisses, "every time I tried to take your drink away, you damn near bit my head off!" Cradling her in my arms, I slumped into my desk chair as she curled in my lap with a sigh. "After I finish this paperwork, we'll take our Wolves out for a run."

She sat up with a squeal, knocking her forehead against mine as I leaned down to kiss her; and kiss her I did, with my teeth against her bottom lip.  "Oh my goddess, Alex, are you okay?!?"

Smirking, I rubbed a dismissive hand over my forehead with a shrug. "I'm an Alfa, honey; it's gonna take a lot more than a head shot to take me down..."

"If you say so..." Her voice was uncertain even as her eyes drifted closed again; she wouldn't be staying up that late again for a long time. If only I knew how wrong I was...

~000~

The wind blew through my fur, giving me goosebumps, as Luna and I ran side by side; our Wolves were finally free, and very happy. It'd been quite some time since we'd let them loose.

'Would you like to go to our meadow?' Pausing for a mere fraction of a second as she nodded, I then took off, my large Alfa Wolf body easily pushing me far past my little Mate. 'Would you slow down?!?'

'I can't help that you've been so busy up Luna's butt that you haven't let me out in a week; this is no one's fault but your own, buddy boy!' Rolling his eyes, my Wolf threw back his head and howled up to the setting sun; even though I'd said we'd go for a run as soon as I'd finished my paperwork, I couldn't dare to wake Luna. She always looked so peaceful, and she needed to rest off the hangover...

'Yeah, whatever you say, dude... Just be patient and wait- that should be something you're good at, by now!' Rolling my own eyes, I dug my heels into the ground in an attempt to slow my Wolf down; no sooner had I done that than Luna breezed by, her giggle echoing through my head. 'Let's go!'

Not even a minute later, we collapsed onto our belly beside our Mate; she lay in the long grass against the shore, the water almost lapping at her own belly. 'This is so nice... It'll be even better once we buildahouse here...'

My words came out rushed- they were supposed to- as she cocked her small head in question; it wasn't that I didn't want her to know what I'd said, I was just slightly kind of being a pansy because I didn't want to say anything about a house just yet... If I did, our situation became real; she was finally a Luna and we were finally ready to begin the next stages of our lives together: Starting a family.

I almost didn't want to start a family just yet; she'd only been here about 3 months by now, and I wanted her to myself a lot longer before we got pregnant... Now that she was officially the Luna, I'd have to share her with the entire Pack... Oh well, at least I've had her for the past three months...
