Setting Moon Ch. 10

Sam then said, "A long time ago our pack moved here from Scotland and we brought this flower with us." He leaned over and motioned to a particularly large bush of the flowers. "It's called Heather and it should never have survived in this climate but with all odds stacked against it, it flourish and now we stand in a whole field of them. My mother brought me here before she died and now every time I come back here it just reminds me of how things just seem to work out and how in the face of uncertainty you must not be afraid." He paused and then said in a sincere voice, "Lilliana I love you and want to be with you forever." Sam then got down on one knee. Lilliana didn't know what to think and placed her hands onto her chest. Sam then pulled the ring box from his pocket and asked, "Lilliana, will you marry me?" He opened the box and watched as her face was struck with surprise. She the smiled wide and said, "Yes, Sam I am your forever. I love you." and jumped into his arms as he stood up. Sam then took the ring out of the box and placed it onto her finger. "Wow it's gorgeous. But I thought with us there was no need with the mating and all." She said but the smile never left her. "There isn't, I want to marry you because I love you. I want to be with you in every way possible." Sam said honestly.

"Please tell me all this was my surprise." Lilliana said excited.

"Yes my love, this was your surprise." Sam said smiling.

Lilliana then pulled him down to lie on the ground and kissed him with all the love in her heart. Sam rolled her so she was lying on the soft grass and loomed over her; he brushed a strand of red hair out of her face and leaned down slowly. He hovered a fraction of an inch away from her lips before he parted them slightly and pressed into her. Lilliana let out a small moan as she pressed herself back against him. She kicked off her shoes and dug her toes into the grass as she placed her hand on the back of his head and started playing with his hair. Sam had placed his hand on her stomach underneath her shirt and gently rubbed his thumb against her soft skin.

When Sam pulled away she whimpered a little as the wind cooled her hot skin where he had just been. He looked down into her eyes loosing himself in there gold-ish brown coloring. He felt like he could look into her very soul, he then said, "You are so beautiful, sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky. You are my goddess in human form and I am the happiest wolf alive, a peasant under your magnificent gaze. I would swear you were Athena reincarnate if I did not know your name. Lilliana I love you more than I could ever begin to explain, I would move the moon and the stars if it would only please you." He waited for a moment, then leaned back down and kissed her longingly. He never wanted to let her go, he never wanted her to be hurt, he only wanted her to be his forever and she had said yes, twice.

Her heart was pounding and her wolf howled with in her, sounding her approval. She then moved her hand under him to unbutton his shirt. Under it she moved the shirt off his shoulder and started rubbing his skin there. He then removed her shirt and started kissing her neck as his hand went back to caressing her stomach and side. She arched her neck to give him a better view and softly moaned at the sensation of his lips on her neck. His hand moved down her body to unbutton her jeans, he then moved to sit on his knees in between her legs and slowly pulled her pants down her long legs and off her body. He took her leg in his hands and lightly kissed her ankle then kissed up to her knee and then down to her hip. Lilliana moaned softly and was almost disappointed when he moved to do the same to her other leg but this time when he reached her center he kissed her folds over her thin panties. He could feel her wetness through them and removed them from her.

She could see his hardness pressing the seam of his pants; if it got any larger she just knew he would be walking home pants less. She smiled down at him as he lowered his head and delved his tongue into her sweetness. She moaned and took note of every detail, the way his tongue felt on her, the tingles that shot through her body and the surge of pleasure she felt from it. She moaned again and heard Sam growl a little, the sound of her enjoyment please both him and the wolf. It only made him want to hear more, he delved even deeper down into her core and licked at her walls. She moaned again and grabbed at the grass, she didn't want to ask him for what she desperately needed. She wanted this moment, his love to last forever to remain in her memory even when she couldn't feel him beside her. She opened her self completely to him through their connection; she let her love flow into him.

She then felt Sam start to breathe heavy over her hot flesh and he breathed, "Lilliana." Just before she felt his love pouring into her until it completely consumed her. She breathed heavy moans and bit her lip, and arched her back as Sam began lashing his tongue onto her swollen nub.

"Sam." She breathed, Sam looked up at her too see the need in her eyes just before she closed them. He could feel what she felt; her need wasn't just sexual it was mental as well. He knew what she wanted and he would never deny her his love in any form. He kissed up her body until he stared at her, she reached down and undid his pants and pushed them down over his hips. She then pushed them off of his legs with her feet and pulled his open shirt from his arms. He leaned into her and pressed himself into her needy slit, instantly her eyes burn gold. Then he thrust deep into her and he watched as her eyes were consumed by fire and then as it subsided her eyes glowed silver. It was as if she had the moon in her eyes, it called to his wolf begging him to take her but suddenly he was rolled over onto his back and Lilliana was on top of him she pulled him up to her and began slowly moving up and down on his stiffened member. As she placed her arms around his neck, she leaned down slightly and kissed him passionately.

He knew she wanted to go slow but his wolf wanted to take what was his; he sensed her wolf there lurking just under the surface but unable to reach her. It irritated his wolf and made him restless. Lilliana could feel his discomfort and growled loudly, it seemed to calm his wolf for the moment. She then resumed her slow movements and moaned softly as Sam wrapped his arms around her, he kissed at her neck and over her mark. She shivered at the touch and her wolf begged her for the bite but she pushed her thought aside. All her life she had wanted this man and now she had him and he was begging for more and she wouldn't disappoint. She began grinding against him and moaned loudly. Sam laid back down and even more of him plunged inside of her, she had to hold back a scream as she felt the extra length. His hands then landed on her hips and he helped her grind against him. She screamed now as the orgasm shook through her, he then rolled her onto her back and started plunging into her depths over and over until she screamed cuming again.

Sam lost all control as he heard her scream out again and again. He moved her from under him and she leaned on her hands and knees as he positioned himself behind her. He found her wet hole again and began ruthlessly pounding her over and over as she moaned her enjoyment. Her slick hole received him gratefully and her lower muscles clung to him when he tried to pull out just to slam back into her again. Suddenly he felt his wolf rising as he hardened impossibly inside her, he slammed back into her hard and fast as she shook and screamed as the next orgasm over took her. He pushed deep into her once more and spilled his seed deep inside her letting his knot form and keep them pinned together.

He rolled them onto their sides and breathed heavily into Lilliana's ear. "I love you, my goddess."

"And I love you, my wolf." Lilliana whispered. She felt his wolf rumble his approval through Sam's chest as Sam lightly kissed her neck and shoulder before reconciling his exhaustion. He lied on the ground holding his woman, his mate, his love and felt content with just lying there for eternity.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam looked down at his mate tiredly it was ten in the morning but they hadn't gotten back until three am. He brushed a fiery strand of hair out of her face before lightly kissing her as he gently removed himself from their bed. He then watched as Lilliana stretched out to where he had just been lying and groaned.

"Sam?" Lilliana said sleepily without opening her eyes.

"I'm sorry my love I did not mean to wake you please go back to sleep." Sam said in a gentle and quiet voice.

She then whispered, "I love you." and drifted back to sleep.

"I love you." Sam said mostly to himself but then watched as a slight smile creased her face.

Sam then set to getting dressed in some jeans and a blue button down shirt and some sneakers. Considering later he would be hunting he figured he better be comfortable. He then walked out of the bedroom to find Fin already waiting for him.

"What's our status? Are the men ready?" Sam asked, he seemed determined and then wiped his face trying to remove the tiredness from it.

"Yes we are ready, I sent twenty men ahead to where Ericka said he lived to scout the premises but strictly ordered them to stay hidden and not to engage any of Solace's people. They will remain that way until you give an order stating otherwise. His Den is about a day from here but I don't know where you will be going with Lilliana so I don't know how long it will take us to get there after." Fin said stiffly Sam had not given him the order to send the men ahead but he felt it was a good call and hoped his Alpha approved.

"Good, I want you to get the word out to all our fighters who will be there. No one is to touch Farid unless he attacks first. As for Adam Solace, he is mine no one is to engage him except to neutralize him if they can but I would prefer to do this my way. Once we save Lilliana we retreat, we are not there for a war unless we are given no other choice. The men probably won't understand but at the meeting later with just our fighters to explain everything in further detail." Sam said and headed for the door. On the other side he turned to look at the guard posted there, "No one is to wake her unless they have explicit orders from me." Sam said forcefully.

"Yes sir." The guard said and Sam began walking down the stairs with Fin shortly behind him.

"We must be ready for vamps and wolves so make sure the men's equipment is up to speed, we can't afford any slipups on this one." Sam said as he reached the bottom of the stairs and looked over to see Eric and Ericka ready and waiting for him.

"I have an idea two of the other witches have Lilliana's teleportation power I say we bring one with us so that she can bring Aiden home while we trail up the mountains to the Solace Den. Unfortunately they won't be able to give us a ride there because they have never been there and its not like we can just show them a picture and they would know." Ericka said.

"So I guess you couldn't talk this one out of coming Eric?" Fin asked.

"Nope not a chance in hell is what I believe she told me. Right baby?" Eric said referring to his mate.

"Yeah, that's my only family and I will not just stand by as you boys have all the fun. But don't think I will slow you down, I'm just as fast as I was before, I'm just more powerful now." She said with a chuckle and moved past Sam and Fin to walk towards the dining room.

Eric now stood next to the two other men and sighed, "That woman's going to kill me I swear it, but I'd be damned if I didn't love her so." He then began walking in the same direction Ericka had.

Sam and Fin moved to walk with him as they moved through the dining room and down a smaller hallway to the right. Sam moved to the first door on the left and opened it; it was a large office and had a desk sitting at the far end of it. Ericka plopped down on a large couch sitting on one side of the office while her mate and Fin remained standing.

Sam sat at his desk and looked at the papers in front of him. "Fin." He said sharply. "Aria she is your mate then, she is one of the two who have the ability. I understand if you wish not to take her but it is your choice."

"I will send for them both, if she wishes to help it will be her choice." Fin then stepped out of the room and then back in quickly. "I don't want her to be hurt but she needs the freedom to choose for herself just as Ericka and Lilliana have."

Sam growled low in his chest bringing the forth coming events back to his focus. "The meeting with the fighters will be held in an hour we need a firm battle plan before then. Ericka I would value your opinion greatly on this subject since you have the experience. Although I feel you would have given it without asking."

"I would be proud to help and your right I would have even if you didn't ask for it. I assume you already have men on their way to scout the property?" Ericka asked but already knew the answer before Sam open his mouth; it was the way is eyes looked. As if he had already done what he could in advance to help his mate.

"Yes Fin has informed me of that just this morning they are on their way there now. But we can't just go charging in we need a plan of attack." Sam said wearily rubbing his hand over his face again.

Ericka stood up abruptly and walked out of the office a moment later she walked back in and said, "Look I don't know if Farid will join the fight or not but if he wants your mates help then I assume he will stay out of it. As for once we get there I don't know what kind of shape Lilliana will be in but if I can see her then I will be able to help her by giving her extra strength, it may be all she needs to free herself. Now that I think of it we may need to bring both of the witches after all. If I can see Lilliana I will be able to get to her no matter the height but none of you will the other witch who stays with us will be able to transport you into whatever room she's in, giving her much needed protection I would assume. But before we do that you would need to create a distraction."

"Like send men to attack the front of the Den as we slip in the side so to speak." Eric said.

"Yes that could work but then how do we get everyone out safety?" Fin asked and then a knock came from the door.

"Enter." Sam called.

A woman who worked in the kitchen then walked in with a tray of mugs, she walked over to the Alpha first and bowed slightly trying not to spill the tray of drinks. She then placed a mug in front of him and said, "Coffee just the way you like it Alpha."

"Thank you." Sam said and picked up the mug as the woman then walked around the room and passed out the other three mugs. She then moved toward the door turning at the last second and bowing formally at the Alpha then quickly left the room.

"Thank you Ericka, Lilliana and I didn't get back until three this morning." Sam said graciously.

"You're welcome; your face was showing signs of not enough rest. Now as far as getting everyone out safely I would suggest that you order them to only hold the main hall unless ordered otherwise. Like in case we need back up before we can get her protected and unattached from any bonds they may have on her. The only two problems I'm seeing is Sam's very great desire to rip Solace to shreds and Lilliana's wolf, it should be rising tomorrow night if I'm correct and as soon as they figure that out they will silver her immediately. But once we remove them I don't think we can stop the change and I definitely don't think it will be very good timing. No matter when we rescue her, something else has been nagging at me also." Ericka said and stopped looking as if she was mulling something over.

"You mean the fact that she can't use her magic while she's there except to send Aiden to me." Ericka nodded at Sam's words. "That's been bothering me as well which reminds me we have another problem. Mila appeared to me yesterday baring a warning from Farid but it wasn't what she said that has me worried. It was what happened when Lilliana threw magic at her. She disappeared and Lilliana thinks and so do I that they have their own witch." Sam said.

"Their own witch, well then I know why she won't be able to use her magic. Their witch is going to bind her somehow but the only way to have it in her system by tonight would be if he already had something slipped to her. This means we have a traitor in the Den." Ericka said the last part heatedly.

Sam seemed to be having the same feeling as he growled again. "How would they get it to her?" Sam asked trying to sound calm.

"It could be in anything from what she eats or drinks to what she uses in the bathroom it would take only five minutes of contact with the substance if not ingested and then her power would slowly get harder to use, but it would take a couple of days to sink in and take full effect." Ericka said now sounding worried.

Sam's whole body tensed and he stood and started pacing in front of his desk. "Shit." Sam said under his breath.

"What?" Fin asked tentatively.

"She already has, yesterday when she threw her power at Mila. She became quickly out of breath and almost collapsed to the floor. And then when we make love she usually has to release her power during and when we did yesterday she didn't and we had sex several times and no magical release. She didn't have to hold it back because she didn't need too, her power is fading and there is nothing we can do about it. God damn it, Ericka I need you to talk with the witches and see if they can fix this somehow. She needs to be able to protect herself while we can't." Sam roared, his wolf was close to the surface. He needed to calm down so he could talk to the witches but he just couldn't push his wolf back down.

'Baby, what's wrong? I can feel your anger from our bed. Don't make me come down there and straighten whatever it is out.' Lilliana said still sounding tired through there connection.

Sam immediately relaxed and said, 'Luna I love you just the sound of your voice calms me down. Go back to sleep I will fill you in later.'

'Good, we should share our love more often. I love you.' Lilliana said.

'Anytime you ask it is yours.' Sam said and smiled outwardly.

'Then when I ask you better not leave me hanging.' Lilliana said as sleep over took her again.

"And what was that about?" Ericka asked.

"Apparently, I need to control my anger or Lilliana's going to come down and straighten whatever it is out." Sam said as he turned towards her and smiled. A small chuckle left his lips as he remembered what he was doing.

"Feisty one that girl, I'm proud to call her one of my own. And I know you do as well. But back to the task at hand, do we think that is a sound battle plan or at least sound enough to tell the troops anyway?" Ericka asked trying to think if she forgot anything.

"Yes that's great now we just need to talk to the witches and find out what they can do. Are the other two women waiting?" Sam asked.

"Yes my mate and the other girl are just outside." Fin said.

"You may let them in." Sam said with authority in his voice. When the two women came in he said, "Trisha, Aria please came in and sit down. You are completely safe in fact I actually have some information to share with you and a question to ask you both." Sam said trying to act as jovial as possible.

They both nodded and then Sam began telling them of Lilliana's vision and her son and there plan to rescue her after her son was safe. When he was done they both stared up at him wide eyed and in shock. "So what I'm asking is can I count of you when the time comes? It's alright if you say no, you will not be persecuted in anyway. But we need your help so I'm asking." Sam said.
