“I’m okay with that.”

His eyes soften, “Are you sure about that?”

My chest feels all warm. “Yes. You are my family. You will always be. Now with Emmett, we already have the beginnings of a pack. And I don’t know. We can find more stray pups and add them to our pack. We can stay just the way we are. We can try the magic thing. Either way, I am content. I don’t care about any of that as long as we are together.”

He leans down and kisses me soft and slow. “You are perfect, you know that?”

“No, you are.”

His hand slides between my thighs, rubbing on my clit until I am slick enough for him to slide his fingers inside.

I writhe and moan as he pulls an orgasm from me.

Then he brushes my hair back. “Are you ready?”

“Yes,” I groan.

He lines his cock with my entrance, sliding in until he is completely buried inside. His length steals my breath away.

All the heartbreak, all the loss, it feels bearable if I get to exist like this with him.

I tug at his lip, biting until two blood droplets form.

I moan as I suck on his tongue. He is smiling as he pulls away, and then he is whispering something in a language I don’t recognize.

His eyes are wide, his breathing heavy as his cock rocks inside me.

“Are you ready, vampire?”

My hands are on his back, pulling him closer.

I want this.

I love this.

I love him.

“Mark me, wolf.”

And then his teeth are grazing the nape of my neck before they sink into me, and my eyes roll to the back of my head as Liam marks me as his, forever.

Liam

Seven Months Later

“I’ve got this inkling that Selene might be pregnant,” I confess to Emmett as we sit together in our living room. “But I’m waiting for her to tell me herself.”

Emmett raises an eyebrow. “You think so?”

“Yeah,” I reply, nodding. “She’s been a bit skeptical, especially since the magic didn’t take the first time around. But I can smell the difference in her hormones.”

Emmett lets out a low whistle. “Well, that would be something, wouldn’t it?”

I chuckle softly. “Yeah, it definitely would.”
