"Sage?!" Remus said in utter panic, his wolf had been startled by Elenor's brief link just a few minutes ago--telling him that his mate was going into heat. It made him sporadic, if Shawn hadn't shoved the car keys into his hand then he would've run the entire length from the packhouse to theirs.

But he managed just fine and was greeted with the urge to cater to his mate's every need. His cock surely sprung to life, as it was instantly breathtaking to just stand at the base of the stairs and soak in her blessed scent.

And as he made his way up the stairs, preparing himself by deepening his breaths, he was rewarded by finding his adorable mate sitting in a bathrobe. Her hair slightly damp, but she smiled up to him nevertheless.
Though there were some tears finding their way here and there.

"Sage..." His voice hadn't meant to be so guttural and strained as though it was hard to breathe. But she simply smiled up towards him, so utterly in bliss that her wolf was purring just by his presence.

"You come home."
"Of course hun. Ellie said you took a bath?" She nodded her head and ran a hand through her hair to shake it through.
"I feel okay, the bath helped. I don't feel hot anymore." He leaned down to the floor before her, and it seemed like her friend was right. The sparks in her touch caused her to flinch before her hands snaked and rubbed further, smiling as she did so.

"Are you feeling okay?" She nodded, though she continued to hold him, her wolf needing the confirmation to stay beside her.
"Okay. Kinda hungry and thirsty. But I'm okay." He rose to his feet but she looked scared, her face contorting as she was driven close to tears.

"You need to eat, munchkin." She shook her head and wiggled her way into his embrace and planted herself there, Remus' mate was never needy. But his wolf was chiming him to comfort her, considering all her emotions and senses were in overdrive to be semi-clingy.

"How about we go downstairs and see what we have?" Sage nodded, but Remus didn't allow her to get up on her feet. Instead he picked her up and carried her downstairs to the kitchen.

Remus was quick to settle her on the kitchen counter and prepared a cooling glass of ice tea.

He knew that the bath would only help for so long, especially after he saw that she took a sip and pressed the glass against her flushing cheeks.

"What do you feel like having hun? I think Gigi made everything we've ever ordered from here." Having missed her previous heat he was unaware of how hazy a she-wolfs mind is, so he decided to make her a plate of everything as they relaxed on the couch downstairs.

He ditched his own shirt and sweats, but also managed to close the shades. Not wanting to worry about any snoopy pack members who decided to get a look in.

"How're you feeling?"
"I don't know why I'm so hungry..." She grumbled, but he so easily got up and make her another serving. A third serving, as his wolf reminded him. Yet he was thankful she was eating at all.

It was a test—Or so he thought it was, that her wolf was pushing forward.
Was that why her heat was making her jump him the second he came through the door?

Yes, in a matter of speaking.

Sage's wolf was cautious, treading carefully—So it must be her skin that was a clinging mess.

After refilling her glass and she grinned once more, gulping it down quickly. She couldn't find herself being parched at all.

"Do you want some water?"
"No, I'm okay." She said, snuggling into his bare chest and inhaling his scent. It hadn't been all that long before he realized she fell asleep, perhaps her wolf was preparing herself—It made sense didn't it?

The appetite and a slight bit of heat in touching her, but goddess her scent was growing. If anything he was having trouble focusing on the television, but seeing her so peacefully asleep caused him to reign in his wolf.

She was going to need her energy because he had no plans of sleeping tonight.

In thinking of that, he leaned in to kiss her temple. Taking the time to inhale her sweet scent and nuzzling into her neck further. While he didn't mean to wake her up, it started to enact the start of a rather demanding few days.

A whine escaped her as she pushed herself into his lips and further into him, huffing when he stopped.

"Are you still hungry munchkin?" He whispered against her skin, causing her eyes fluttering open as she felt rather rested but craved something indeed. With a firm nod to answer his question, pushing himself forward to move to make her a plate for dinner, but she straddled him in a firm pindown.

"Sage—"
"I want you." It instantly enacted his wolf as he smothered her neck with kisses, the addicted scent resulted in what only could be described as electrifying touches that went with her soft skin, earning him the perfect amount of excitement and response that he couldn't handle anymore.

He lifted her up and hurried upstairs to their room, Sage's room was long gone and her breasts were pinned to his chest as she smiled against his mark.

"Better slow down hun, or we'll end up mating in the hallway." She giggled, but when being placed down in the bed—Her attention turned towards the fact that it was dark out now. "I sleep a long time..."
"That means we'll just the entire night. Just you and me."
"No work?" He shook his head, quickly discarding his boxers as he wanted to be courteous about how Sage was feeling.

It was certainly torture, the few hours of blue balls he suffered through. But in the instant of seeing it, her breath hitched and a whine escaped her.
"I won't be leaving Sage, never again." He said, climbing into bed and letting his hand cup his cheek.

A rumble of approval sparked, and she started to kiss the inside of his wrist before her free hand rubbed his length gently. His wolf encouraged her to be rougher, to milk him further before it had been all too much and the room filled with her squeal in having been repositioned.

"Full moon help with pups..." She whispered, and Remus' eyes instantly went off towards the pureness of their goddess in all her beauty. Leaning forward he decided to turn the lights off, hoping that bathing in the light would aid their prayers.

Sage sucked in a breath when his length entered her, but her core had already been sore and soaked since she returned this afternoon. It had been dull compared to the urges she was facing now, the euphoric bliss that Remus was feeling with every thrust—his length reaching depths and sparking immense joy throughout their shared bond.

The tranquility was contagious, the roundabout circle outside had left countless gifts. Dancing outside and took advantage of the sweet aroma their Alpha's were emitting into the air, all in an attempt to receive their own heat.

The Deity had been seen the rise and fall of Crescent Moon, she sprinkled her fingers across the ways and blessed the given few with their own chance at a pup.

After two consecutive rounds, Sage felt exhausted but not fulfilled. Though in feeling Remus' heartbeat, she could tell he was tired—Though it still didn't settle what her body craved.

He chuckled in seeing how frustrated she was growing, she nuzzled further and found a comfortable position to settle in. But nothing was as comfortable as being filled to the brim with him.

His wolf needed to recuperate, and in an attempt to distract her he licked the entirety of his mark that's featured on her neck. Her body responded instantly, making her enflamed cheeks turn into a pleased smile.

"I feel funny."
"I know hun, it's going to be a lot of mating...Anything hurt?" She shook her head, but now her chin was just resting on his chest while her fingers were tracing the likes of his tattoo.

"We should get more tattoo." He chuckled, letting his own thumb brushing over the top portion—It was a statement piece for sure, her humming growing louder as his thumb found its way to accidentally touch the likes of her breast.

Earning him a shiver.

"How about I get a Sage flower?" Her nose instantly went up, it usually did when she felt embarrassed in response to his cheesy flirting. "Where?"
"Somewhere where only you get to see." She perked her lips and shook her head.

"No. Flower can go right here." She said, tapping right where her chin was. And his eyes flashed wildly, it was a perfect suggestion.
Not only did she listen to his heartbeat at night or even now as rested against his chest, but Sage claimed his heart ever since he met her.

"What do I get for you?" He chuckled and denied the thought.
"My name means wolf, munchkin. That sounds a little cliche if you get a wolf on you." Remus' watched in pure amusement as his mate was trying to think of an alternative.

"I get a moon too?"
"We'll figure it out hun, why don't you close your eyes for a lil? I'll wake you up soon." She shook her head, her body wiggling down as she found herself underneath the coves and lowering her position of his body.

"What are you up to?"
"My turn." In touching him he hissed in igniting the flare between them once again.

It went much like this the following days, only for Sage to pass out from exhaustion and he was left to bathe her while she was half-awake.

Or managed to leave the room in a hurry to go downstairs and make them both a plate of food.

She stayed awake long enough to scarf it down, and either she found the energy to jump at the opportunity that Remus was still butt naked or fall back asleep.

The days mended together between breathless nights and gasping mornings. And this one was no different, Remus was diving in to study the likes of the beautiful heat in between his mate's thighs. Biting and nipping her hips, brushing and licking the nub and fucking her into oblivion with a few swipes of his tongue.

She was so responsive that his Alpha ego was rising tenfold.

Only being partially awake made her less active than the last time, and the high of her heat was dwindling. Leaving her emotionally and physically exhausted.

However, she and Remus were locked or 'tied' as he'd call it, but he realized soon enough that she simply returned back to sleep after this round that he coaxed her to wake up.

"Hi." She said, yawning to the side before opening her eyes. A smile blossoming quick enough as her mate was grinning widely. "Morning Munchkin, how're you feeling?"
"Little hurt, and tired." She honestly admitted, which she found was an utter mistake once he started trying to find what was wrong.

"There." She whispered, and he frowned not knowing where she was referring to. Until her cheeks turned into a blushing shade of pink did he realize that the entirety of the five days had been reverting and was now coming to crashing close.

"I think your heat is almost over hun, do you still feel fuzzy?" She nodded, and Remus could confirm that her scent was still loud. Even when he opened the windows and allowed the she-wolves to get their own whiff of it.

There had been food left out on the front door in a big cooler, as Gigi was probably horrified in coming any closer than that. Course it was filled with chicken sandwiches and a whole fine line of snacks, maybe it was time to break out those while they enjoy a move in the bathtub.

He told Sage the idea and she nodded eagerly. "Have to wear clothes after?"
"Nah. No need." She snorted, she had been the one to start waking up on her own as she thought about the food—Her stomach begging for a meal.

"Why am I so hungry?"
"It's just the heat munchkin, it's normal. We used up all your energy."
"Mating uses energy?"
"It's like running hun, it's a workout." Being able to wiggle off his length, she whimpered at the rawness of all that happened.

Remus cradled her for a moment, promising that they wouldn't until she felt the urge again.

Leaving her in bed, he went ahead to go and fill up the tub, letting the hot water run thinking it'd be beneficial to her aching muscles. And he wouldn't mind a little soak either.

Hurrying downstairs did he manage to pack the needed food into the cooler and decided that she could just pick what she wanted from there, though he did set up the tablet as well. Restarting Sage's favorite movie, even adding Birdie's salts to ensure proper healing.

"Is that—" He nodded, knowing that this movie 'cats and dogs', was slightly childish. But Sage adored seeing the dogs talking and doing human things like being a spy.

"And Gigi made chicken sandwiches with ranch, fries, sticks, and some more salad." The she-wolf made the effort in getting up, and while the limp made him swell with pride.
He was all too prepared to soothe her soon.

He let her sit in first, setting up the countless bits of food before sitting behind her. She soon confirmed in between his legs, her eyes glued to the movie as she giggled to the same jokes.

"Still sore munchkin?"
"Yeah, but it's a good sore." He let out a soft chuckle following her kind words, lingering his touch at her mark to cause her to giggle some more. She did manage to eat a hefty meal, even going to the lengths of feeding him.

As it distracted him from pushing her to eat anymore when she was more than full already.

Having been so cooped up in their bedroom, she asked if they could go downstairs. Though the only promise was that he carries her.

"You know, I'm glad you got your heat now...We're going to Grey Hallow soon."
"Oh, is Liam coming with?"
"I was thinking him and Blake, since Luke and Ellie will need to watch your reformed." At the mention her brother and his mate, she grinned rather deviously.

"Oh goddess, when you smile like that hun it makes me think you're up to no good."
"They're making me a nephew." Remus recoiled.
"Did Ellie get her heat?" Sage nodded, though it was confirmed.

As Luna, they had the ability to detect an incoming heat in a she-wolf, though Sage didn't spend her time with many mated she-wolves.

"A nephew huh?...And what about what's in here?" Sage lifted up the blanket a tad bit—Revealing her sports bra and panties as she felt better in having cloth underneath the electric heating pad.

"Right here...Lil pup." She cooed, letting her hand rest on the spot underneath her belly button. "What does your intuition say?"
"I don't know, it's quiet." To delude her sadness he leaned forward and kissed her temple, encouraging her to keep eating and drinking fluids.

While he and his wolf felt such a spark in the bond after having completed their first heat, there was a tug of sadness for having missed the first one. And a bolt of prayers that he was going to ensure the moon goddess heard.

After a heat, she-wolves get readily defensive. Their bodies in overdrive to heal after the copious amount of sex, but also going through a hormonal change to balance out all that's happened.

Instinct overcame him as his hand extended over hers, rubbing gently at the pure dream of what it will be like when she was carrying his pup.

They had plenty of time, there weren't many packs who had children their age yet, and that was such a political stance that Remus stopped the thought from processing any further.
