“Have you been thinking about my cock filling you, mate?” My voice is a guttural growl, “It’s all I’ve been thinking about.”

The gasp that comes out of her as I plunge two fingers deep inside of my mate’s pussy has pre-cum beading on the tip of my cock and then falling onto her skin like a brand. A primal, feral feeling overtakes me.

“Fuck,” I grunt, “I want to cover you in my cum. You’ll smell like me,” I snarl, “and everyone will know who you belong to.”

The sound of approval comes from deep inside my mate and is enhanced by the presence of Tilly’s wolf. I can see her there, right under the surface and taking me in through her gaze.

I barely got a glimpse of my mate’s wolf as she was running away from me, but I can’t wait until we can run through these woods together side by side. My wolf ruffles his fur, clearly just as excited about the prospect as I am.

“I want that,” Tilly’s voice is pure sin and seduction.

The head of my cock, angry red and covered in pre-cum moves across Tilly’s hip, leaving the sticky evidence of my need for her behind. I rear back when she reaches down and rubs it into her skin. My eyes widen and I’m sure I look shocked as fuck with her actions.

“Fuck her,”my wolf pushes and snaps me out of my shock.

Before I can grip the base of my cock, Tilly’s hand is there and wraps around my length. She positions me at her entrance and the heat coming from her along with the feel of her hands on my dick is almost too much for me to take.

I push inside of her slowly even though everything inside of me wants to plunge in quickly and fuck her until neither one of us can breathe. But my mate deserves better.

“Fuck, little wolf,” I growl, “the way your pussy squeezes me is so damn good.” I pull out just as slowly and her body tries to suck me right back in. “Don’t worry,” I murmur. I’m going to make you feels so damn good.”

“Don’t tease,” she pants the words, and I can’t help but grin.

With every slide of our bodies, every thrust where I’m filling her to the hilt, I start to move faster and harder. I can taste our combined arousal on the air, and it makes me feel dizzy as fuck.

Just when I don’t think I can hold back any longer, but refusing to come first, my mate explodes. It’s like watching the northern lights. So damn powerful and beyond amazing.

I pump inside of her three more times and then I let myself go, spilling my seed inside of her and hoping, fucking praying, that it takes root. The thought of Tilly round with my pup, our pup, has a guttural groan spilling from my throat followed by her name like a sacrifice to the Goddess.

Even though I collapse on my mate, our breathing ragged, I only let myself take a moment to recover. It’s past time that I announce my Luna to the pack.

I should have done it much sooner, but I’m going to make it right. Knowing that everyone will know who she is and that she’s mine has my wolf letting out a possessive chuff. Yeah, we’re on the same page.

We don’t have to lead this pack by ourselves anymore. We have our mate at our side and soon, officially, our Luna.

CHAPTER 12

TILLY

“It was delicious,” I praise Maggie as I finish up the giant orange roll that was perfectly ooey and gooey.

She beams at me, but it still doesn’t reach her eyes. I know it’s because she’s concerned about her daughter and granddaughter. I’ve never met Nyx, but I am as well.

I can’t tell her that everything will be okay because I’m not sure it’s true. I hope it will be, but I’m not the kind of person to give false hope to someone.

“I’m glad you enjoyed it, Luna,” Maggie flushes slightly with her words.

As much as part of me wants to frown with her use of my title, I don’t allow myself. It was only a few days ago that we walked into the packhouse, our hair disheveled and dotted with grassand leaves, just as dinner was about to be served.

I would have preferred to get cleaned up, but Whitaker had a grip on my hand that told me it wasn’t going to happen. He gave my fingers a squeeze and led me right into the dining room.

I’m not sure if it was our presence, together or the unkempt way we looked, but silence descended on the room very quickly. I wanted to squirm where I stood, but I held my head up high. I was more than a little curious about how this was going to go and figured it wouldn’t hurt to just go along with my mate.

“Silver Howler Pack,” Whitaker’s voice carried throughout the entire room and demanded everyone’s attention. He glanced at me and the twinkle in his eye, the joy I saw there, made my heart pound in my chest. “I’m sure you have been curious about the she-wolf at my side. I’m sorry that I took a little time for us to settle before making the most important announcement of my life.”

I swear the whole room took a breath and held it. I could feel their hope. It was a physical thing that wrapped around me and settled, but the mantle wasn’t heavy.

“This is Tilly Ryan. She is the daughter of the former Alpha and sister of the current Alpha of the Golden Summit Pack.” Whitaker paused and the anticipation ramped up in the room. I swear I could taste the incumbent excitement on the air. “She is also my mate,” the roar that came from the pack members had me almost stumbling back before Whitaker raised his voice and added, “and the future Luna of our pack!”
