It wasn't long before Rain found herself running to keep up with her mate as he dragged her across the yard, into the woods, and towards their little home. Once they were inside and had tossed themselves atop their bed, Ryan was growling and making noises as he fought to rip every piece of clothing from her body all at once. Succeeding in destroying her tank top, he smirked. "I've been desperate to get my hands on you," he groaned as he wrapped his plush pink lips around her nipple. 


"I missed you too," she giggled as he sucked on her skin but continued fighting with her shorts. Trying to help, she shimmied her hips off the mattress, giving him leeway, as she began to tug at the waistband of his basketball shorts. "Help me out here," she cooed and within seconds, he was kneeling between her legs naked.


His hungry whisky eyes met hers in an intense union as he sunk inside her body and moaned. "So sweet," he purred as he leaned down, pressing his body across her length. Nibbling at her earlobe, he sighed wistfully. "I love you, Rain. I feel like I haven't been able to say that enough lately."



Rain tossed her head back into the pillows, running her hands all over her mate's muscular back and relishing in his caresses. "I love you too, Ryan," she promised him, cupping his cheek in her dainty hand. "I never want to go back, I never want to leave your side."

When she knocked gently on the door, she was met by her Alpha who wore a highly unamused expression on his beautiful face. Without pause, he leaned into her personal space and drew in a sharp breath, then wrinkled his nose in disgust. "You smell like him."



Rain shoved past him to enter the room, where her Luna was perched against a pile of over a dozen pillows and the headboard. Her breathing was labored, and her eyes were shut in a wince as she clutched handfuls of the bedspread in her hands. Realizing that she was probably trying to ride out a contraction at that very moment, Rain didn't touch the other she-wolf, but took a seat on the edge of the bed beside her. She ran her thumb tenderly across the other woman's right hand and smiled. "How are you doing, Luna?"



"Her contractions are getting stronger and she's in a lot of pain," the Alpha answered for his mate. He had the decency to look pained when he made this statement, bowing his head toward his chest. "Nothing I do seems to help her. She's desperate to shift, but I've told her that doing so greatly endangers the pup. We've tried everything at this point, anything to alleviate her pain. She doesn't want to sit in the bathtub, she can't stand in the shower anymore. Rick suggested that we take a walk outside and that maybe that would help to ground and center her, but she takes a few steps and then she collapses, and I have to carry her back inside."
