Chapter Fifteen: Midnight
Diana's POV
"I'll contact Alpha Zander and Alpha Troy right away, anything else Luna Queen?"
I shake my head and watch as he walks away for a bit to call the others. Luca scoots closer to me and plays with my hair.
I sit on my bum on the hard floor, enjoying his soothing touch.
"I'll contact Rick and Derek,"
His voice sounded so calm, so relaxed it really put me in a daze for a moment. I lean back a bit so my head rests on Luca's knee. I hum and he continues to play with my black hair, twisting it ever so lightly.
"Okay, Rick is on his way, Derek said he will be here in the morning," said Luca.
"Alright, we should get some rooms ready for them, it might take all night just to plan this," I answer back.
Sneaking thousands of Pack members isn't as easy as you think, especially with another Alpha King who will most likely become suspicious once he realizes they were going 'missing'.
Leo walks back to us, nodding once toward me.
"They are both on their way," He licks his lips then starts to speak again, "I understand this will take quite some time...is there any chance Kate and swing by?"
Before I could say anything, Luca beat me to it.
"Of course, she can stay as long as she would like,"
I smile a bit and turn to the side, putting both arms on his knee and laying my cheek on them. He was becoming a big softy and I loved it so much, even though I did miss his hard behavior. It was funny for me.
Leo gives a warm smile mind-linking Kate to come and join us on this 'exciting' journey.
"Why don't we get started while we wait?" I suggest.
Both Luca and Leo agreed. Leo sat back down where he was before and I pushed myself up so I was now sitting on Luca. Ah, my favorite spot. He wrapped his arms around me, leaving small and feathered kisses all over my shoulder.
"Luna Queen, why don't we talk about where everyone will be located? It seems to very important in this plan,"
Yeah, it was a pretty big thing. Leo points to his territory on the map, sliding his finger across it a little. He tapped to where King's lake was...it was between both of our Packs,
"This might be the best place to take some of the members, so we can choose where there might be room. Maybe I can be stationed there."
Huh, that wasn't a bad idea.
"Yeah, that sounds good. Luca," I put my pointer finger on the map, trying to reach the other side of it, "I know you aren't going to let me go to the Moon's Pack on my own, so you might be able to help lead the members toward the other Packs,"
Luca puts his chin into the pocket of my shoulder, bumping his head with mine.
"Hm, Okay."
The doorbell rings causing the three of us to become cautious for a moment. Luca bounces his knee indicating me to get up for a second. I do it and watch as he makes his way to the door, opening it.
Rick and Troy step inside, wiping their shoes on the edge of the step to take off the excess snow. I cross my arms and grip on the sides of my shirt, to keep my hands warm from the cold winter air that seeped inside the Packhouse.
"Luca, honey, close the door please," I mutter.
He slams it shut then clicks the locks.
"Luna Queen," Rick said with respect,
He bowed his head along with Troy. I always wondered why he was so quiet? Alpha Troy didn't have a mate, but I doubt that was the reason he was...quiet.
"Luna Queen, are you ready to end this once and for all?" Rick asks,
I felt Luca's chest touch my back, his hands holding my waist close to himself. I smirk and turn my head a bit more to face Luca. He gives me a quick peck, rubbing my nose with his.
"I've been ready,"

Luca's POV
We've been sitting on this damn couch for six hours. I was getting a huge migraine and I wanted all of these Alphas to leave my territory, just so I can have some alone time with my mate.
Luna Kate showed up not too long ago. She hasn't been doing much except for conversing every few minutes. Alpha Derek came here 15 minutes ago, which meant Diana had to grow through the entire plan once more.
Alpha Zander seemed to doze off on the couch, his head falling forward. He would catch it and wake up every time...it was pretty funny.
Anyway, here was the plan. From the very beginning!
Tomorrow once it is midnight, or well, today when it is midnight Diana and I will head to the Moon's Pack. I was meant to stay out of the territory to prevent any suspicion to arise. There were about two thousand members in the pack which meant all of us Alphas needed to make room.
It would be more than enough room.
Alpha Leo would stay by King's lake, which was near our Pack and his. I allowed him to take charge of my pack while I will be gone during this risky business. This also meant that he would choose where the members would go.
Alpha Troy and Alpha Derek will bring their warriors along with themselves and guide those who have been freed to safety as Alpha Rick will inform us and them where they can stay.
The plan seemed to work well, but I was still worried about Diana heading into the Pack alone, I didn't want to lose her.
A hand waves in front of my face and I blink rapidly, watching Diana glared at me with confusion.
"Babe, are you listening?" Her voice was super stern,
I gulp as I nod swiftly watching her unconvinced reaction,
"Okay then, what did I just say?"
My eyes widen and I hear Luna Kate snicker to my right.
"Oh, uh-you-uh we were talking about the plan..."
My mate rolls her eyes, patting my cheek in an action of driving me out of my thoughts.
"You have to pay attention love, this is serious!"
"I know, I know I'm sorry. What was it that you were saying?" I ask.
"Well, everyone here needs rest. I will get the bathrooms set, why don't you figure out sleeping arrangements? We can give up Hayden and Jade's room, Aiden and Daniel's along with Alex's," She came closer to me put her lips really close to my ear, "I'll also clean your office,"
Once she pulls back I give her a look of thanks, admiring her beauty as she stands up and starts to walk further away from where I was. She was so beautiful.
"Alpha King, if you don't mind, we would like to get some rest now so we can be fully prepared for tonight. The faster we get to bed the better." Leo spoke.
I nod at him and jump off of the couch, wiping the front of my shirt to straighten it. I look up at Leo and Kate first.
"There is a bedroom down this way, come here, follow me."
I lead them to Aiden and Daniel's room opening the white entryway to the boys' room. A chuckle left me as I saw some of their things left behind like posters of sports teams and some video games on a shelf.
Other than that it looked so deserted.
"I hope this is alright for right now, it was a room for some of the boys in Diana's group."
"This is perfect. Thank you." Luna Kate replied.
A warm yet soft smile formed on her lips, letting me give her one back. I leave the two alone and head back into the living room, seeing the three Alphas who were awake and waiting.
Alpha Zander was peacefully passed out on the couch.
I move to the stairs, waving my hand.
"Alpha Rick and Derek, your rooms will be upstairs. Alpha Troy, there is a room next to Alpha Leo. The bed may be a bit small if that's alright?"
Alpha Troy nodded. He walked away and headed to the room quietly.
"Thank you," Alpha Rick said.
"No, thank you. We really appreciate all your help." I say calmly.
Alpha Rick shows his pearly white teeth, winking. I head up the steps, being followed by the two. The heavy and loud sound of our boots thudding.
Diana appeared in front of me, causing me to flinch at the sudden moment. She snorted a bit.
"Did I scare you?"
I blew a raspberry, preparing for all the teasing. She didn't though.
Diana threw a quick glance behind me and pushed me a bit to the side.
"Alpha Rick. Your room will be on your right. It's the last door down. Alpha Derek, yours will be the first door to your right."
They make their way to the rooms, shutting the door behind themselves. Diana patted my chest.
"Hmm, let's go get some rest shall we? It's going to be a long night." She whispered.
We head into our room and I see the bed was neatly made. Diana walks to the opposite side of the bed and pulls the sheets away.
She cuddled into them.
I lay next to her and just admire everything about her. My heartbeat was getting faster just by looking at her.
"Hm, why don't I go inside of the territory while you stay out?" I suggest.
I knew she wouldn't like the idea, but I liked knowing she was safe.
"No. I need to do this. I am their Luna Queen."
My body got chills when she said those words. I nuzzle my nose into her hair closing my eyes.
Diana grabbed a handful of the covers, pulling it on top of me.
"Well, if you ever change your mind. I wouldn't judge you,"
She scoffs.
"Don't expect me to any time soon," She spoke.
"How's Jay?" Diana adds,
Jay was quiet ever since the shift. He hadn't talked to me at all but I knew he just needed some time to himself.
"He's doing good, just a bit quiet. I don't blame him though."
Diana frowned, grabbing my hand and intertwining it with hers.
"Poor boy,"
I chuckle.
"He will be fine. Jay is a strong wolf."
She nodded in agreement, yawning softly. I felt her warmth as she came closer to me.
"I'm going to head to sleep. You should too."
I kiss her forehead and close my eyes again, trying to fall asleep.

"Psst, Luca wake up,"
I groan at my mate taking me away from my peaceful slumber.
My eyes squint open and the blurry figure of Diana was in my view. She rubbed her hand up and down my bicep.
"Sweet, you're awake. Everyone is waiting for you downstairs hon,"
I blink rapidly and let out a yawn while stretching my muscles. Diana stands up and leaves the bedroom, leaving me alone to get ready.
I climb out of bed, walking to the bathroom to brush my teeth and change into some decent clothes.
After I was done, I head downstairs to see all the Alphas, Luna Kate and Diana waiting for me.
She walks up to me and gives me a deep yet slow kiss.
"Glad you're up. Alright. Are you all ready to get this plan in action?" Diana asks.
"Yes." We all said simultaneously.
I hold onto Diana's not wanting to let her go. This was a very risky mission but it had to be done.
The Moon's Pack won't be a thing anymore...but all its members would be saved and will finally have a better place to live. A better place to grow.
They would actually live.
