Talking To The Moon | Complete |

Make You Feel My Love Part 1

A/N: once again, that fight scene was written by my bestie and one of my most loyal readers Sara_Mikaelson46 .... She felt that she might've been too harsh and/or sadistic in the scene, but I didn't think so.... What about the rest of y'all?!? Speaking of her, y'all should go check out her stories!:)
Now that Luna is finally going back home, what do y'all think will happen?!? Oh, no, dear ones, this story is not over yet....!!! There's still a bunch to happen until the end.... But, then again, it won't be 'the end' will it?!? There will be a sequel, after all.....;);)

Alessio POV

Leather and roses. The intoxicating scent of my Mate blew gently on the afternoon breeze, filling my nose. In an instant, I was catapulted back five months ago, when that scent had first led me to my Mate. I'd know that smell anywhere!

Whirling on my heel, my eyes darted around the surrounding area as I finally spotted her, running towards me. Not a single thought was in my head beyond getting to her as quickly as I could; Shifting, my long Wolf strides carried me across the space between us in a matter of seconds. When I was about a foot away from her, I Shifted once again, past caring that we both were butt naked.

Creamy yet calloused skin. The feel of her body against mine was, in that moment, so right that it was as if she was never gone at all. Her skin pulled taut across her swollen belly as her arms wrapped around herself, protecting our unborn child. Goddess, if that sunuvabitch had hurt our baby...! Still, I knew that my Luna was a fighter, and would indeed fight to the death before she'd even let that fücker touch her.

Still not believing that she was really here with me, alive and well, I had to look into her eyes to know for sure. Slowly, gently tipping her chin, I gasped as her eyes locked with mine.

Soft yet icy blue eyes. The instant that our eyes locked, I fell headlong into their depths as she blinked, as if afraid that I too was a figment of her own imagination. If I could just stare into her eyes long enough, I'd finally find her soul, intertwined with mine.

"Alessio." My name was a whispered murmur, a breath of air, from parted lips as she sighed, eyes inching along my body. At the sound of my name from her lips, I couldn't help myself; I had to kiss her.

Sunlight and the woods. She still tasted the same, as she always had; her lips felt chapped beneath mine, but were still so gentle, as I slowly moved, tilting her head against my hand. My tongue melted easily past her lips as I massaged hers, her own tongue soft beneath mine. If I could only just kiss her all day, I'd be the happiest man alive.

Slowly pulling away, our noses brushed as I gazed down at her, arms locked tight around her; she wasn't go anywhere anytime soon. Of that, I would be absolutely sure until the day that I died. "Luna."

"Alessio." Her eyes were still the endless, baby blue that I loved, but now they were wider, more frightened. What had he done to her?!? "I love you, Alessio Ercolani, so so so so much!"

"I love you too, Luna, so so so so much!" Slowly cupping her petite body against mine even as her swollen stomach bumped against me, I smiled gently down at her and literally swept her off her feet and into my arms. "Let's go home, mia bella, perfetta piccolo compagno." ((My beautiful, perfect little Mate))

~000~

Murmurs followed us on the breeze as I walked through the trees towards our home. I know that I should've made an announcement or something that my Luna was home, that the Pack had their Luna back, but I wasn't ready for that; to be honest, I didn't think she was, either. We didn't want everyone's eyes, we just wanted each other's. We didn't need a crowd, we needed just the two of us.

'Luna is home?!?!' 'Is she hurt?!?!' 'What did he do to her?!?!' 'Where is he?!?!' 'When are we going to kill him?!?!' Everyone's thoughts were jumbled around in my head as they all spoke at once, practically all 100 Pack members.

Gently smiling down at her, I made sure my voice was still soft and not too irritated as I spoke, native Italian slipping from my tongue easily. 'Luna è a casa! Lei è certamente stato attraverso una prova nel mese passato e mezzo, e abbiamo bisogno la nostra privacy; So che tutti sono eccitati che lei è a casa, e io sono troppo, ma abbiamo bisogno del nostro tempo e lo spazio, per favore. Se qualcuno si prega di portare Raffaella a casa nostra, abbiamo entrambi saremmo eternamente grati. Grazie a tutti per la vostra pazienza e la considerazione in questo periodo. Sono orgoglioso di chiamare tutti voi il mio zaino, e so Luna è troppo.' ((Luna is home! She's certainly been through an ordeal in the past month and a half, and we need our privacy; I know you all are excited that she is home, and I am too, but we need our time and space, please. If someone would please bring Raffaella to our home, we both would be eternally grateful. Thank you all for your patience and consideration during this time. I am proud to call you all my Pack, and I know Luna is too.))

There was a chorus of 'Thank the goddess," "Bless the goddess," and "The Luna is finally home, alive and well," through my head as my Pack rejoiced right along with me; still, there was an air of nervous anxiety around us all as we held our breath. Would the baby be okay?!?

That thought in mind, I knew in a matter of minutes, Raffaella would be at our home; I'd been desperate for reassurances after Luna had been taken, and had announced her pregnancy to the Pack. My Pack had my back, of course, and was quick to chorus their congratulations and that, were anything to happen to the baby, we could always just try again. Try again we would, whether something happened to the baby or not... My Luna was just simply too addictive!

Sure enough, Dino came knocking with Raffaella, Mary, Filomena, and my parents all in tow about two seconds after I'd gotten Luna situated; as soon as everyone left, she'd certainly need a warm bath. She was naked but blood spattered, and I couldn't help but wonder what the hell had happened. Still, I knew that no matter what had happened, that pup was gonna pay.

Whether he had hurt her in any way or not, he had kidnapped her in the first place, and that was in no way okay with me, or our Pack. As soon as Luna was well enough for travel, we were going huntin'! I was gonna hunt that sunuvabitch to the ends of the earth, chop his dïck off, glue it to his forehead, and throw him in a vat of Wolfsbane; little fact that all Alfa's reminded their Pack's from time to time was that, while Wolfsbane made for an excellent drink, it was also a painful poison that could be used for torture or interrogation.

"Alessio, dear, I know that you're plotting your revenge, as I am sure the rest of the Pack is, but I've got some news." Raffaella smiled fondly between Luna and I as we lay on the bed; my arms were still locked tight around her as she pressed her ear to my heart, eyes drooping closed. The best kind of pillow was one with a heartbeat.

"Is the baby okay?!?" At Raffaella's words, she jerked awake, hands instinctively moving to protect her bulging stomach. The look in her eyes was one that would haunt me for the next 3 months, until well after our baby was born; her eyes were even wider, even more frightened, than when she'd first arrived, as a low growl shook through her body. What had that fücker done to her?!?!

"Oh, darling, the little one is fine! A healthy, strong baby ready to be delivered in the next three months." A gentle smile tilted Raffaella's lips as she glanced between us, hands covering our twined fingers over Luna's stomach; she was wise beyond my years, which I was glad for, but I couldn't help wondering what her next words meant. "You did well, Luna. Always remember, sweet child, that no matter what you had to do to protect your child, you had to; you are a mother now, after all."

A/N: the reason it's taken me so long to post these past few chapters is because I wanted to have them all mostly written, so I could post them all in one day and get this over with and not leave y'all waiting......;);) you can thank me later...... Or kill me..... Or both.......;);)
