“Samuel,” she purrs my name and my cock throbs as my wolf grumbles, not at all pleased with me that I haven’t swept our female up in our arms and marked her already, “I’m ready. For all of it,” she clarifies. “I’m ready to be yours, to take my place at your side and help this pack grow. I’m ready to help our pack members heal and find their own happiness. I’m ready for our family to grow when the Moon Goddess decides to bless us. I’m ready for it all.”

I don’t say anything; I can’t. Instead, I take her mouth in a brutal kiss and pour everything I’m feeling into that kiss.

“Come on, I’m wasting away without ice cream,” Aisley’s voice has us breaking apart, but I don’t let Nyx pull away from me.

Nyx’s bright laughter wraps around me as she presses her forehead against my chest. “We’ll be finishing this later,” I vow against the top of her head and feel her nod.

It takes far too long for us to eat ice cream, even though I love every moment I get to spend with Aisley, and then to get our pup into bed. The moment she is I stalk toward my female, pick her up and throw her over my shoulder while rushing toward our room.

I waste no time getting us undressed. I hear more than one garment rip, but I don’t give a single fuck if our clothing becomes confetti. The need to be inside of her and to mark her as mine is something I can no longer ignore.

“Ours,”my wolf snarls.“She is ours.”

I roll my eyes as I place Nyx in the center of our large bed. When I stand back up, I take a moment to admire the beautiful female in front of us. Her black hair is spread across the pillows and her skin is flush with excitement and arousal. I can smell her desire for me, and it makes my mouth water.

I can find the faint evidence on her body from where she carried Aisley, but that only makes her more stunning.

The longer I look at her the more she starts to wiggle and fidget on the bed. When I smile, it’s large and filled with teeth.

“All the better to bite her with,”my wolf chortles.

“You take my breath away, Nyx,” I murmur softly as I move to the foot of the bed. I start with her ankles kissing, licking and nipping at her skin. “I plan to worship every inch of you tonight before we bind ourselves together for the rest of our lives.” Since I’m watching her face intently, I see the pain flash in her eyes. “And we will be living for a very long time together,” I vow. “So long you’ll probably get sick of me,” I tease her, grateful when she smirks.

Her hands run through her hair as I move up her body. “Never,” she denies the possibility fiercely.

I do just as I promised and love every inch of her skin, my lips and mouth leaving fire and goosebumps in their wake. When I’m looming over her and our lips are almost touching, I flip us so I’m on my back and looking up at the woman who has stolen every bit of my heart and burrowed her way into my soul.

“Samuel,” she gasps as she straddles my lap. It’s a soft admonishment, but the fire in her eyes tells me just how much she likes the new position.

“Ride me, little warrior,” I grit out through my teeth.

Her delicate fingers wrap around the base of my cock as she positions herself over the weeping head. We both groan as she slowly, too fucking slowly, slides down my length. I want to pump up into her and take over, but I grip her hips and hold onto my control. It’s not fucking easy but watching her take control is mesmerizing and I don’t want to miss a second of it.

As she starts to move, her hips swirling and then moving up and down, I’m slammed with so much pride for this female that it’s hard to breathe. Look at her. Just fucking look at her. At how far she has come. At how freely and easily she gives of herself. Of how much love she’s capable of.

I’m one lucky fucking wolf.

When I can’t take it anymore and it’s clear her muscles are straining, I use my grip on her hips to help her move faster. The way her head falls back, exposing her neck is a damn siren song that can’t be ignored.

I sit up quickly, loving the feeling of her hard nipples digging into my chest which is now covered by a thin sheen of sweat. My mouth immediately goes to her marking spot, wanting to make sure she’s ready for what is about to happen.

Her moans are loud and desperate. She’s right on the edge.

“That’s right,” I grunt. “You’re so tight and wet. I need you to come and milk my cum from my cock.”

She starts to pant and the walls of her pussy flutter just as my balls draw up and the room around us goes still. It’s almost as if the Goddess herself freezes the world and magnifies our pleasure. Just as she’s about to tip over, she catches mecompletely off guard by tilting her head and sinking her teeth into my marking spot.

My instincts drive me, and I strike. The taste of Nyx’s blood coats my tongue as I bite her, binding us together and sealing our fate.

As our bond snaps into place, I shoot rope and rope of cum deep inside of her. Her pussy squeezes me just right, almost as if begging for every drop. Everything fucking shimmers, including our bond as it wraps around us and strengthens the love we had already found in each other.

Nothing else matters as we both tend to our claiming bites. We cling to each other, breathing heavy and basking the afterglow of our pleasure and our bonding.

“Now you’re mine,” I growl possessively.

“I already was,” she points out, a teasing lilt to her voice.

But she’s right. She was mine the moment she arrived at Waning Moon. I wasn’t ready to admit it then, and she wasn’t ready to accept it.
