Page 15 of Unloved Mate

“Hey, hey. You have me now. I won't let anything happen to you. I'll be here with you during the good days and the bad days. You and I, Valor.” He took my hands, placing it on his chest so I could feel his heartbeat. He put his hands on mine and I chuckled. I was now feeling a renewed sense of confidence.

“Thank you so much.”

“Now come on, let's go to bed. The full moon run can happen without me.”

“No. You're the Alpha. You need to be with your people,” I convinced. “I’ll find my way back to the house and maybe you'll keep your promise on unlacing my corset,” heat burned in my cheeks as I said the words. A possessive growl rumbled in his chest. “I’ll be there waiting for you.” I wasn't lying to him. I would stay and wait for him because going back to Zeke didn't feel safe for me. Not until I figured out what he was up to. I had to stay here and see what my next step of action would be.

He nodded at my words and rose to his feet, helping me up and placing a tender kiss on my forehead. I smiled at him and watched as he walked away.

My wolf wasn't pleased that I was letting Kane go to the full moon run alone. He was really having a good feeling about tonight's run. Again, I had to double back on Kane’s words. What did I see in myself? Was I going to let the experiences of my past continue to dictate how I lived or loved forever. Would I look in the mirror and like what I see every damn time? Or would I keep hiding in the corner, waiting for some miracle to happen?

“Please, Valor. Don't leave him alone,” my wolf purred. “I need to be with Creed.”

“So you've been communicating with his beast behind my back.”

“Yes, and he wants you. He wants you so bad. I want him too, and it just feels so right. What if he's our mate? We can only find out after the full moon run. I know he's our mate, Valor. Please, just…”My wolf was saying, and I tried to force him back, but he didn't budge. I wasn’t surprised. With the full moon on the rise, if we had a bond, Leo would detect it first. This time, he was stronger.“Come on, Valor. He's leaving.”He continued to protest.

“Kane!” I called out, finally giving into my wolf and letting him win.

I ran to him until I caught up and watched the puzzled expression adorning his beautiful face with his arched brows. “Shouldn’t you be heading back to the house?”

“My wolf wants to run with you. I… I want to run with you.” I let out and groaned at Leo. Whatever the outcome was tonight. I'll live with it. Maybe, maybe I'm enough. It's really funny how Leo has been silent around Zeke and now I'm with Kane, he just can't keep quiet in my head.

“Come on, the pack is waiting.”

The full moon ended as quickly as it started. Lycans shifting into their beastly form and leaping into the forest. I tailed on behind, keeping up with Kane’s speed until we all rounded the pack territory. When the run was over, and I shifted back into my human form, I stood in front of Kane transcended by his scent. “Mate.” I muttered.

“Told ya so.”My wolf thundered at me.

“Mate.” He said, opening his arms for me. I let out an exhilarated chuckle and ran into his arms, and he embraced me, holding me tightly. Tears sprung from my eyes, knowing what it felt like to know the tether of fate, to be accepted by someone who truly saw my worth, who looked at me like I was the mostbeautiful person on the earth. Oh, goddess, how beautiful it felt.

“I, Kane Creed Diallo, Lycan Alpha of Midnight Shadow Pack, accept you, Delta Valor Leo O'Donnell of Night Shade Pack as my mate.” He said heartily and claimed my lips in a kiss.

“I, Delta Valor Leo O'Donnell, of Night Shade Pack accept you, Kane Creed Diallo, Lycan Alpha of Midnight Shadow Pack as my mate.” I responded and deepened the kiss between us.

“You won't be taking off the corset anymore. My wolf literally ripped it to shreds.”

“We’ll have other balls and weddings.”

“Weddings?”

“Of course, I want to spend the rest of my supernatural life with you. I knew it from the first moment I laid my eyes on you.”

“Well, I'll have to think about that.”

“You don't have to give me an answer now. Take your time, little wolf. You're my mate. We'll always be together.” Kane smiled at me, and we headed back to the house. He carried me in his enormous arms until we arrived in his room. He kicked the door open and closed it with me in his arms, taking me to the bed and laying me on it.

“There’s something you should know.”

“What is it?”

“I’ve never had sex with a man before.” The thought of having him rock my world sent heat to my core, causing my dick to twitch.

“It’s ok if you don't want to complete the bond now. We could wait until the next full moon.”

“No, I want this now. With you.” I said, still shy from my own words.

“Mm,” he sat on the bed and faced me. “I want you to enjoy your first time. See, tonight isn't just about me. It is about us. If you're not ok with what I'm doing, be open aboutit, ok? Because I want you to feel as much pleasure as I do.” He explained and I nodded. His lips curled into a smirk and he knelt on the bed, leaning closer until he claimed my lips in a desperate kiss. The fierceness of the lip lock showing how much he wanted to have me. A moan of pleasure croaked from my throat as I splayed my hands over the ink that covered his chest. He broke off from the kiss, ravishing my neck with kisses, down to my chest, taking each of my hard nipple one after the other. A light shiver raced through my spine, and I grunted in ecstasy, pressing my body closer to his. His tongue traced from my nipple down to my groin, his fangs brushing against my skin. He kissed my cockhead, swiping his tongue over the slit and licking off the pre-cum. He put his hands on my chest, and I threw my head backward, overwhelmed by the sudden pleasure. Smirking, he leveled his gaze at me, a growl spurting from his throat, the look of pleasure in his eyes doing things to my insides.
