“It’s okay to be scared. I’m scared too,” I admit. “I’m not scared of loving you, but you might wake up one day and realize you could do far better than me.”

She scoffs, “Better than an Alpha who had devoted himself and his pack to help wolves who need it the most? Who accepts outcasts? Who gives homes to those who don’t know where else to go? Who gives hope to those who aren’t sure how to keep going for another day? Who claims a little girl who isn’t is blood, but loves her like she is? There isn’t another male who is better than you,” her voice is strong and sure.

I bury my face in the crook of her neck and nuzzle her there. “I love it when you get all fierce on me,” my voice is a seductive purr.

I can’t be blamed for how my cock hardens in response to the way my female defends me. When she shifts on my lap, I know it’s because she can feel what she does to me. I clench my jaw and try to focus, but the way her sweet ass teases my dick is not helping matters.

“I can’t be the pack’s Luna,” she blurts before her face goes bright red.

With my eyes narrowed at her, I stand up and start to stride out of my office. She clings tightly to me as I make my way up to the Alpha suite. I don’t say a word; fuck, I barely breathe.

As I lay her down on the bed which I already consider to be ours, I follow her down, my larger body covering hers and holding her in place. I can feel her hardened nipples against my chest and it’s distracting as fuck.

“You already are this pack’s Luna, Nyx,” I grit out through my teeth. She blinks up at me, surprised by my words and how deeply I know them to be true. “You can deny it all you want, that’s fine, but I know it’s true. You put the members of this pack first every single day. Have you not noticed the way pack members flock to you? They come to you for help and for comfort. They seek you out and bask in the attention you give them. Being the Luna is more than a title, it’s a calling, one that you have already answered because you are already providing what this pack needs from their Luna.”

She sounds bewildered, “I’m Waning Moon’s Luna?”

I grin as I watch her mind mulling over my words. I know I’m right and she does too even if she hasn’t been willing to see it yet.

“Holy shit,” she breathes out and tears spring from her eyes.

I lean down and kiss her softly, needing to feel her lips against mine. “I know it’s scary, but it’s already too late to go back now, little warrior. You’re mine and I’m yours. You are this pack’s Luna, and they need you just as much as Aisley and I need you. The only thing you need to do is accept it.”

Nyx’s arms wrap around my neck, and she pulls me closer before taking my mouth in a kiss filled with passionate determination. I can taste her need on my tongue, and I groan as my cock throbs against her pussy. The heat coming off her is scorching and making it more difficult to keep ahold of my control.

Her legs wrap around my waist and her feet hook around my thighs to hold me in place. “Please,” she pants against my lips, “Samuel. I need you.”

I jerk back in surprise and stare down at my woman. I take her in and study every single fucking inch of her expressive face. I don’t see any doubt there, but I don’t want to move too fast for her. It would kill me to have her, only for her to regret it.

“I’ll still be afraid sometimes, but you’re right. You’re mine and I’m yours. I want you to make me yours. I don’t want to wait any more.”

“Fuck,” I bark.

My movements become a blur as I pull and tug our clothing off and fabric goes flying around the room. I don’t give a fuck where things land, not when my female needs me.

The moment she’s naked underneath me, I can smell her arousal, and it makes my gums tingle with the need to mark her.I don’t think she’s ready for that, but I sure as hell am going to make my woman scream and fall apart in pleasure.

I give her more of my weight, my hips resting between her own. The way her body cradles me is fucking perfect and has pre-cum dripping from the tip of my cock. My length slides between her slick pussy lips and against her clit.

When her back arches, I lean down and take one of her nipples into my mouth. My name on her lips as it becomes a chant is almost more than I can take.

“Samuel,” there’s a demand in her voice, “If you don’t slide inside of me and fuck me until my eyes cross and my vision goes blurry then we’re going to have problems.”

“So demanding, my female,” I grunt after letting go of her nipple with a pop.

I pull my hips back as I wrap my lips around her other nipple. My cock notches at her entrance and I bite down as I thrust inside of her to the hilt.

Nyx screams, her back bowing off the bed and her head thrashing from side to side. “Fuck,” I bite out, “your pussy is so fucking tight. You’re trying to milk me already.”

I pull out of her slowly, wanting her to feel every inch and every vein of my cock against her needy walls.

“No,” she keens the sound desperate.

There’s a challenge in my voice, “Do you think I would pull out and leave you wanting?” I slam home and growl, “Never.”

She gasps and clings to me, her nails digging into my shoulders so hard that I get a hint of the smell of blood. Not thatI give a fuck. She could use her claws and make ribbons of my skin for all I care.

I kiss and nip up her chest and neck before moving along her jaw as my hips start a steady rhythm. I move slower as I pull out only to slam home so hard that she moves a little bit higher on the bed every time.
