Duncan mind link the Doctor, to see if there was anything that he could give her to get rid of the heat.

The Doc mind linked back, “I will be there shortly, I have her blood tests back and there is something there you need to know about. I will also bring an antidote.”

Duncan became alarmed, antidote!?. “What do you mean Doc by antidote?”

“It‘s alright Alpha we discovered it in time. I will be right there, as soon as your Beta gets back with one of the elders and show‘s me the way. Alpha don‘t engage with her in a sexual manner, it will only make things worse.”

Duncan went back to the bathroom to add more ice, Adira was moaning and rolling around, as the ice melted more and more. It was a good thing that the ice maker was magically made or he would be in big trouble right now.

Finaly Duncan heard a knock at the bathroom door, he yanked it open, there stood the doctor and the elder Healer Sarah. She pushed past them both and shut the door leaving them in the bedroom. She talked through the door,

“Doctor explain to the Alpha what is going on and what has to be done to save the Luna.”

Adira stared at the woman and let out a cry of pain. “Luna my name is Sarah I am a pack healer, I am going to help you through this. It is not the heat, rather the results of a poison that slowly was entered into your blood stream, once it was there it would build up for years till the third year of the poisoning.”

“Then it will cause your body to go into a false heat, this heat though is far worse than the normal version, if it wasn‘t for your mate putting you in this ice bath, you would be going insane with need. It wouldn‘t matter who you were with, it would never be enough.”

The Drug is called Aphrodite‘s Kiss. It is banned just about everywhere. In the were communities it is punishable by death if you use it on a female.”

Sarah started to roll herbs between her palms and let the leaves hit the water. “These will help ease the pain of the burning, the antidote I am afraid to say, is going to be a painful experience.”

Adira began to cry, “I can‘t get away from them. It doesn‘t matter how far I go, they still will find a way to hurt me.”

Duncan was smashing things left and right as Marco tried to calm him down. He was saying words and smashing at the same time.

“HOW COULD....SMASH!!!!, IM GOING TO KILL.....SMASH!!! THEY ARE GOING TO......SMASH!!!!,

DIE!!!!!!....SMASH!!!”

After a little bit Marco managed to get him to settle down.

“Those bastards, after all the shit she has had to endure, they go and do this to her too. It wasn‘t a spur of the moment thing either, they planned this shit out for the long haul.”

“How is she ever going to trust anyone ever again, she just got out of that hell hole and was starting to learn to trust, learning to enjoy things without fear of reprecussions. Now she has to go through more pain.”

It was then that Duncan heard his mate crying, it sent him over the edge and into a killing thrall, he went outside shifted into Apollo and just ran. Marco went after him. Marco also mind linked Marnie, told her to get to the cabin as also told Marnie to call Jack Dawson back here to help with Duncan.

Jack was about 5 miles out of Duncans borders when he got a phone call from Duncan‘s sister. He pulled the bike to the side of the road and answered the call.

In a fury Jack raced back to the pack to find Duncan, if he is in a killing frenzy, it‘s going to be a hell of a fight to calm him down. He was going to calm him down even if it ment he had to beat it out of him, that pretty little mate of his needs him.

Adira was calming down a little, the herbs were helping a little but the pain was still there, just more managable. Sarah held her hand and added more herbs, this made things a bit more comfortable.

“We will wait just a little bit longer for the herbs to take more effect, then I am afraid we are going to have give you the antidote.”

“I don‘t understand Sarah, how were they able to poison me and Artemis? We were very careful what we ate or drank, non of our food or drink came from them.”

“I am afraid Luna, that the poison is ment to go on your skin. It could be put in your body wash, shampoo, body lotion, hair gel and so on. It is odorless, so you wouldn‘t of sniffed it out either”

Adira made a low groan, “I didn‘t guard that stuff all that well, I didn‘t think they would mess with that.”

Another knock sounded at the bathroom door, Marnie peeked in, “Hey, can I come in to help to?” Adira smiled and nodded Marnie waisted no time, she came straight to Adira, holding a popsicle out for her to eat, It did help al little. I also have ice cream too, as well as all kinds of chocolate stuff.”

Jack and Marco managed to corner a very angry Apollo, It was all Apollo too. Both of them knew that their only chance, was to talk Apollo into letting go of the control so they could talk to Duncan.

Jack decided to wait before he shifted, getting Apollo calmed down was the priority here, shifting to his bear could be seen as a threat and Apollo would attack.

Marco was sitting in his wolf form, as close too Apollo as he would let him. Then Marco did something that was almost comical, he started to roll around on the ground with his tounge hanging out like an idiot.

Apollo seemed to calm down upon watching Marco, he sat down but refused to look at either Marco or Jack. That was when Jack came over to his other side and sat down next to him, they stayed that way for a bit in silence.

“You know Apollo, your mate needs you at her side right now. Yeah, this is a real shit show for her to have to suffer through. With your help though, she might just make it though this with a little less pain.”

That is when Jack felt something, he never thought he would with his friend, Apollo mind linked him directly.

“Your a great friend Jack, I will be letting Duncan come back, it was stupid of me to react that way, I just couldn‘t stand to hear them in so much pain any more, I had to do something to make it right again. If that ment going to that poor excuse of a pack and ripping them all to shreds then so be it.”

With that Apollo turned and ran back to the cabin, to his mate. Marco and Jack right behind him.

Duncan shifted just outside the cabin as Marco and Jack did the same, there were caches of clothes hidden in the trees. Once they were dressed they entered the cabin. It was really quiet. The Doc came up to them holding a really nasty looking potion in a small flask.

“The Luna has been informed of what is to come, before I give this to her, I want you to know that you can‘t have anymore outbursts like you just did. She needs you to be with her through this, you are her anchor.”

“Duncan looked at the Doc and then hung his head, I won‘t be doing that ever again so you don‘t have worry anymore. The fact that you have known me since I was a Pup, Means that I will forget about the tone you used with your Alpha.”

Duncan held up his hand, I am sorry Doc, I‘m still coming down from the thrall.”

The Doctor smiled, “I can understand it all Duncan, I would of done the same thing if anything like this happend to my Betty. Now lets go get this over with, it is going to be a long night. Come on Lads lets go save our Luna.”

Everyone was in the bed room waiting for Duncan, he requested to have a minute alone with Adira.

Duncan sat on the edge of the tub, holding Adira‘s hand “You know that I would never hurt you, that this has to be done to purge your system of the poison. I will be here every moment with you.”

Adira reached up and touched Duncan‘s cheek wiping away a tear. To think that this big strong Alpha wolf would shed tears for her, it was the greatest gift he had given her so far.

With that he lifted her out of the tub and into a towel, quickly dried her off, he didn‘t want to touch her anymore than he had to. One lingering touch could cause her to go fully back into heat. He then wrapped her in a a soft blanket and carried her to their bed.

The Doctor waisted no time, he uncorked the little flask and poured it down Adira‘s throat. Adira didn‘t feel anything at first and then she started to feel really cold. Then it turned to freezing. Her teeth were chattering as Duncan held her tight to him in their bed. Duncan felt Apollo adding his body heat to Duncan‘s it seem to help, taking of the bitter edge of the cold.

Then in an instant Adira‘s body almost came off the bed, as she arched screaming in pain, every muscle in her body cramped at the same time. Apollo started to go nuts yelling to Duncan, “Mark her now!!!!! ” Have you gone crazy Apollo, I can‘t mark her now what would it do to her.”

MARK HER NOW OR WE ARE GOING TO LOSE THEM!!.

“Listen to me Duncan if you mark her, then we can be linked together, you and I can take on some of the pain.”

Duncan didn‘t waist any more time, he put his mouth to her neck and bit down hard.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
