Knowing how nervous Rhae was, Raphael was doing his best to keep his girl's mind on anything else from the moment he woke her up.
While she was yelling about the orphanage life to her best friend, he dove under the covers for his own special breakfast.
"I LIED! I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE" she yelled when he got started, and a low, pleasurable growl left his throat.
The vibrations made her moan just a little as she tightened the grip on his hair.
As she did, Raphael grabbed her thighs, sinking his fingers deep into her flesh.
He knew that it was harder than he had ever touched her, but the sounds coming out of her made it all worth it.
Lust was taking over, and she didn't want to let him have all the fun, as she pushed on his head, letting him know to stop.
"My turn"!
He didn't want to stop, but he wanted to know what she was trying to do as well.
Hesitantly, he loosened his grip on her thighs and sat up.
Rhae leaned up, grabbed his shoulders, and tossed him onto the bed.
Now that he was in position, she grabbed his shaft, which was already hard, and standing at attention for her.
Sliding her hand up and down, she bent over and slowly took him into her mouth, pressing her tongue with just enough pressure along him as she went down.
Rhae didn't stop until she took his whole length in, then she made sure her suction was tight before continuing up and down, adding her free hand to tease his scrotum.
He couldn't help but grab her by the hair as she kept going, and start to assist her, letting out a moan of his own.
"Oh, baby. That feels so good"!
"MMMMMM" she let out when he was deep in her mouth.
"Oh Goddess".
He pulled her off instantly, grabbed her hips, and centered her.
"I can't do it. I want to fuck you, NOW" he demanded, thrusting his cock into her in one swift, hard motion.
His wolf had taken over, and she liked it, a little too much, but so did he.
Fangs were dropping as they both climaxed, which brought him back to himself.
Shaking his head, he was able to stop himself before he did anything he couldn't take back.
While Phoenix was enjoying his morning with Stella, it wasn't nearly the experience that Raphael had just had.
Meanwhile, a few stories above them, there was Alexander waking up in a bed alone.
After making it just barely over a week with her, he should know how she was.
Ayla was a runner and always would be.
How could he ever expect her to change?
He wouldn't want her to, though.
Would he?
Alexander actually loved her fighting spirit.
The courage that always pushed through her, no matter what.
Really, though, why didn't he just handcuff himself to her so that she didn't leave him behind, again?
Other than the fact that he would have never succeeded in getting her cuffed twice, he promised her he wouldn't.
She would have probably chewed her wrist off to get out if he had been successful in handcuffing her again, or his, and he liked his hands very much.
All he could do now was get himself out of bed and get the team together to follow both her and Julius now.
Just then, he heard the sound of the toilet flush and the bathroom door open.
"Good morning. Thoughts on tying me up again"?
His head hit the bed.
"You know me so well" he laughed.
"I told you I won't run from you anymore, but I know it will take you time to trust that I won't after what I did. I am sorry".
"Ayla, I haven't tied you up, have I? Thinking about it when I wake up, and you aren't there doesn't count".
She smiled.
"You haven't tied me up, no, but handcuffed, yes. Or did you mean not again? Breakfast before we leave".
She knew what he meant, but enjoyed her little games, and he knew it.
A devilish smile came across his face as he jumped off the bed and onto his feet, quickly.
"Oh, I definitely see something I want to eat".
Ayla attempted to run from him, using the bed as a barrier, like two wolves running in the woods; the chase was on.
"We don't have time; the others are probably waiting for us".
She continued to flee from him.
The best part of being a wolf in general was the chase, and Ayla was giving him just that, turning him on even more.
It appeared to be harder for him to catch her than he thought, as she managed to escape the room and was now using the couch as the new barrier.
"Nonsense. I have a feeling they are just as occupied, if they aren't still sleeping".
Just as he finished attempting to distract her with his words, he jumped over the couch and made a run straight for her.
With a quick, long arm, he grabbed her wrist.
"You're mine now".
She didn't like the possessiveness and wanted to fight it.
"Oh, you think that, do you"?
He pushed her onto the couch and separated her legs, forcefully, "I know so".
After he got himself into position, he looked up to her with hungry eyes.
"Now, I'm ready for my first breakfast".
Alexander was ravenous, too.
He slid down her body until his face was lined up with the meal he was craving, as his tongue began to move aggressively and went after exactly what he wanted.
He gave no mercy in his effort.
Ayla and her sweet nectar were exactly what he needed to drive him further and further into his desire to have her.
Licking and nibbling on her clit like it was his, making her heat rise as she got even wetter.
Knowing they didn't have much time, he was aggressive in giving her orgasms before moving on to giving her what she really wanted.
His huge, girthy appendage.
It was a good thing they weren't coming back for at least a few days, because the couch was soaked underneath from the pleasure she was enduring, and it wasn't about to get any better.
After the two of them finished their morning session, Ayla was on another level of euphoria.
She wasn't sure what exactly happened to Alexander.
Maybe it was him realizing she had left him once before or saying that she had no intention of doing so, but he was more than incredible.
Fear was a hell of a motivator for a man when it came to pleasing a woman.
The pair moved nearly as one to the kitchen to grab a quick bite, as it was essentially time to leave, and they needed to get a move on.
One thing was certain: Alexander was nervous about letting Ayla go on the mission, but he couldn't stop her.
No matter what he did, she was going.
Deep down in his gut, he had a bad feeling that he just couldn't shake, no matter how hard he tried.
As they ate, he stood behind her, like he was her shadow, with an arm around her, just under her breast, as if he was protecting her from anything and everything.
Alexander felt like he was ready for the unexpected.
Ayla actually felt a sense of calm, almost like the calm before the storm.
More than anything, she really needed it, and he somehow knew it.
Now that they had scarfed down some fruit, bacon, sausage, ham, and a bagel each, it was time to meet up with the others.
No, they really didn't have time to cook the meat, but it's what they really wanted, and starting a mission hungry sounded like a bad idea.
They weren't doing badly on time, though.
Due to their anxiety about the upcoming adventure, they had actually woken up earlier than they needed to, so they were just barely behind.
The sun wasn't up yet, and there was still plenty of darkness left to cover them.
Alexander and Ayla exited the elevator and were happy to see that the two couples along for the ride hadn't left their apartment yet.
Well, not happy that they hadn't left, but happy that they weren't the ones who were late.
"KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK"!
Alexander yelled in, not wanting to see undesirable things.
"Daylight is on the way, love birds"!
Raphael yelled out, "COMING, COMING" as the door flew open.
A piece of bacon hanging out of his mouth.
Ayla couldn't help but giggle a little at the sight.
Such a teddy bear, and a sweet man to be the supposed fighter he was.
She wondered if it was a mistake to drag him into all of this.
Raphael seemed like such a sweet guy.
The three other members of the team were following him closely, all wearing smiles.
Alexander couldn't help himself.
"Looks like we are all starting our day the right way"!
Phoenix only grinned a bit bigger, whereas Raphael blushed slightly.
Ayla hit his shoulder for calling them and her out.
"Alex!"
He grabbed her by the hips and pulled her into himself.
Now that her backside was pressed into his front snuggly, his arms wrapped tight around her, he whispered into her ear.
"I love that you use my nickname now"!
Ayla just shook her head, rolling her eyes.
Stella decided to try to help him out.
"Yes, a good breakfast is always a fun way to start the day".
Alexander just started laughing as he looked at Ayla.
All she could do was put her hands on her face as they entered the elevator.
Alexander was definitely in a great mood, and he was doing his best to make sure everyone else was too.
If anything, they were all in perfect spirits to start a shaky mission.
Not a single one of them knew what to truly expect.
More than that.
There was so much that they were all unaware of, and they were essentially going into the trip blind.
Ayla was trusting her intuition and gut to guide them, and that gave her hope that everything would turn out for the best in the end.
The only thing left to do was get to the woods without anything unexpected happening.
Once they reached the first floor, the first unexpected, yet expected event occurred.
As the elevator doors opened, they were directly in front of Dominic's apartment, and leaning against his door was the grumpy old wolf in the flesh.
There was no way he was planning on letting Phoenix and Raphael head out without letting them know that he was there for them, praying to the Goddess for them, and waiting for them to return.
"I know you boys have always been under my wing and turned to me for all the answers, but I understand that it's time for you to step up. So, step up and get my son. I chased after him for eighteen years, I'm not waiting that long again, so you better get going"!
Dominic didn't say anything to Ayla, but that was partially a threat.
He was giving them a timeline, but they just didn't know what it was.
How long did they have before Daddy Dominic came running after them?
With that, they all gave the eldest member of their newly forming pack a hug, with Ayla trailing in the back.
She was the last to step up and say her goodbyes to the force of a man.
Her head was held low as she stepped forward, "I will do everything I can to bring him home as quickly as possible. I know it's my..."
Dominic put his hand on her chin to draw her eyes to his, "Stop blaming yourself. It isn't your fault he is gone. You will be the one to save us all. I believe that. If I didn't, I wouldn't follow your lead. That doesn't mean I'm giving you forever to do it. I will sit back and give you a head start before I come after you and Julius myself".
Ayla shook her head, "Understood. I plan to return before you have to come help us!"
Now that they were all finished saying goodbye, the pack of wolves was off to the dark woods to find Julius and bring him home.
As soon as they were deep enough into the woods, the clothes were off, the fur was flowing, and they all leaped into the air, transforming mid-jump, shaking their fur as they started to land.
The six wolves were off, running toward the pack they thought would help them, and where they would find their friend.
Moonlight shifters pack.
Now the only questions would be, what would they run into along the way, and what would it be like when, and if they got there?
