We say the word at the same time, and it feels like a jolt of lightning crackles through my body as the mate bond between us snaps firmly into place.

I can’t breathe, can’t think- adrenaline is flowing through me like a storm, my heart slamming against my ribs as the most delightful sensations wash over me. If I thought I was crazy about Vienna before, it’s nothing in comparison to how I feel right now; everything’s amplified, my emotions so strong that I can practically taste them in my mouth. Awe. Adoration. Trust.Love. She’s fucking everything.

“Holy fuck,” Vienna breathes, staring at me with wide eyes, long lashes fluttering as she blinks. “Are we…?”

“Fated?” I finish for her. I’m so overwhelmed with pure joy that I’m practically giddy, a decidedly un-manly laugh slipping from my throat. “Yeah, babe, that’s exactly what we fuckin’ are.”

I stalk toward her, hauling her up into my arms as she starts peppering my face with kisses, burying her hands in my hair. “I guess fate heard our challenge and decided to throw us a bone?” she giggles as she kisses my teeth. I couldn’t wipe the fucking grin off my face if I tried.

Her kisses start becoming more urgent, demanding, and the next thing I know, we’re devouring one another in a frenzy of lips and teeth and tongues. I move forward with Vienna still wrapped up in my arms, swallowing her little yelp as her back collides with the trunk of a wide tree, giving me the leverage I need for my hands to roam freely over her naked body. I drink in every inch of her soft skin with my fingertips, relishing in the sensation of tingling sparks ricocheting between us.

The scent of her arousal is thick in the air, intoxicating me like the sweetest drug. Raspberries, rosewater, and pure fucking sex. She shamelessly grinds her slick core over my throbbing hard-on, and a groan leaves my throat as the head of my cock finds her entrance like a heat-seeking missile. I plunge inside, her responding moan sending a shiver of possessive energy down my spine.

“Mine,” I growl out as I bury myself to the hilt, winding my arms around Vienna’s thighs and spreading her wide for me.

I start pounding her pussy relentlessly as she cuts lines into my shoulders with her fingernails, crying out in response as she meets every thrust. “Mine!”

She’s perfect. She’smine. She’s mymate. Even before Gray suggested it, I feel like some part of me has known all along, and the confirmation that she’s truly my other half has me in a state of utter euphoria.

I’m so fucking overwhelmed by the bliss of it all that within minutes I can already feel my balls tightening, her own body responding in perfect synchronicity. I angle my pelvis tighter to her and she shudders from the friction against her clit, her whole body tensing in my arms as she crests her climax. I barely manage to pull out before following her right over the edge, overcome with sweet rapture as I spill my seed onto her thigh.

I’m not finished with her, though. Not even close. This night isn’t ending until I’ve had her in every way; until I’ve marked her and made her truly mine.

The pack’s celebration following the run is wilder than any of the ragers I’ve thrown at the packhouse over the past few months. Everyone was already riding the high of the Alpha induction and the run, but when they return and Vienna and I reveal that the moon confirmed we’re actually fated mates, it sends the already intense energy over the top. The food’s plentiful, the drinks are flowing, and the music is loud. The packhouse is so full of life that I swear I can feel my dad’s presence in here with me; like he’s still around, celebrating with our pack.

I make the rounds and introduce Vienna to as many pack members as I can, but it’s a special kind of torture to watch her prancing around in that sexy-as-fuck outfit when all I really want to do is haul her upstairs, rip it off, and mark her as mine.

Soon.

When I can’t physically wait any longer, I ask Rob if he’ll lead the charge to the local bar for an afterparty- and thank fuck the pack is all too eager to follow. Vienna and I continue to mingle while everyone starts to clear out, but every time I dart her a glance, I can tell she’s just as anxious as I am for them to leave. She’s more fidgety than usual, and I don’t miss how every time she looks my way, her pupils dilate and she presses her thighs together tightly.

My girl’s thoughts must be just as dirty as my own.

My boys are the last to exit, taking their sweet ass time just to piss me off. All except for Cal, who mysteriously disappeared during the run and never showed up for the celebration afterwards. I don’t have time to question that right now, though- I just need these fuckers to leave so I can get Vienna naked again.

“You sure you don’t want to come with us?” Levi goads, lingering by the front door with a teasing smirk playing on his lips.

I level him with a glare. “Get the fuck out, bro.”

His gaze slides between Vienna and me, his smirk deepening. “Why does this feel like déjà vu?”

Vienna giggles, stepping up to Levi and giving him a little shove toward the door. “You heard your Alpha. Get outta here!”

“Is that an order from my Luna?” He arches a dark brow, grinning.

Levi’s demeanor around me and Vienna changed tonight after hearing the news that we’re fated mates. While he seemed sour about our relationship before, now that the moon has declared she was always truly meant for me, the animosity is gone. I’m glad, because the tension between us was starting to get to me.

“You’re damn right it is,” Vienna grins, giving Levi a push out the door. He fakes stumbling and Miles grabs at his jacket to right him, all of us laughing. “Goodnight, boys,” she sings, slamming the door and whipping around to face me. She leans back against it, folding her arms over her chest and hitting me with the sultriest little smile.

“Fucking finally,” I growl, stalking toward Vienna as her eyes blaze with mischief. I snatch her chin in a hand, tipping her face up to mine. “I thought they’d never leave.”

“Whatcha gonna do now that you have me all alone, Alpha?” she asks sweetly, arching a brow in challenge.

I swipe the pad of my thumb over her lower lip before dipping it past the seam of her lips into her mouth.

She bites down.

“Fuck,” I growl, yanking my thumb back and shaking out my hand. “Still as vicious as ever, huh, little devil?”
