Laughing, I hold up my hands as Cassie growls at my words, her eyes flashing gold, fingers turning into claws as she digs them into my thigh.

“I don’t have anything going on with Renee, baby, I promise. She’s like a sister to me, always has been. Miah is her mate but she’s being stubborn about it.”

“Come,” I say softly, pressing kisses to her face as she calms down. “Let me tell you about her family and the curse they’re under.”

Once my mate is calm once again and tucked up next to me in bed, I bury my fingers deep in her thick hair, massaging her head as I tell her about the four families and the curse.

The sun is rising as I finish. Looking down into Cassie’s sleepy brown eyes, I can’t help but be thankful that somehow she made her way to me from the other side of the world.

Laying her down on the bed, my mouth sealed to hers as I enter her body slowly this time, gently rocking in and out until she pulls her face away from mine to gasp in a deep breath of air. Her head thrown back, neck exposed. Laving at her scar, I gently bite down, moaning deeply in the back of my throat as her channel contracts around my cock, pulling at me as I knotted. A knowing came upon me that this would be the last time for a while as my seed found its home.

We’d been holed up in our own little world for a while, and I’m sure her father would like to know his daughter was okay. But that would have to wait until we’d slept. Tucking Cassie tighter into me, wrapping my arms around her, we slept long and hard.

Waking the next morning just as the sun was rising. Burying my nose in Cassie’s neck and inhaling deeply. A smile splits my face at the change in her scent. Pressing a kiss to the back of her head and cupping my hand over her belly, where I knew our young now lay.

It seemed our lives were changing, and I couldn't wait to get her back to our property, where I knew she’d be safe.

My thoughts were interrupted by my gorgeous mate rocking her hips back against my hard cock. I’d been ignoring it so that she could get more rest.

“Mhh, morning,” Cassie mumbled sleepily.

“Morning, baby,” a rumbling growl left me as I tilted my hips against hers.

“Mmh,” Cassie hummed throatily, eyes still shut she reached behind her, grasping my cock and lining it up with her pussy.

Realising what she needed and wrapping my hand around her knee, I hitched her thigh up, giving me better access to her pussy. I lined up my cock and slowly pushed into her welcoming warmth.

“Feels so good,” she sighed sleepily, thrusting back against me. “Don’t stop.”

“I’m not stopping, baby,” I assured her as I drove my cock into her, until we were both panting. Reaching around, I ran my fingers around where we were joined until they were wet, then up to her clit. With each thrust, I ran my fingers across her clit until we were rocking in sync. Planting myself deep, I thrust into her one last time as she pulsed around me. We both moaned as we came, long and hard. Breath heaving, I buried my face in her hair, my arm wrapped tight around her.

“Fuck, baby, I’m looking forward to doing that with you forever,” I growled against her neck.

A laugh peeled out of her as she tilted her head back to look at me, “I’m not sure if I can keep this up, even with shifter healing,” she admitted.

“Are you sore?” I asked in concern.

Cassie frowned as if thinking, then shook her head, “Not sore, just a bit stiff. I’ll be fine. Also, mister, don’t think that I haven’tnoticed you didn’t knot that time. Guess that means I’m knocked up, huh?”

“That it does,” I answer a little proudly that it hadn’t taken long. Then, realising that she’d gone quiet, I asked in concern, “Are you okay about that?”

Cassie let out a little sob. Concerned, I turned her in my arms and tilted her face up, “Talk to me, baby.”

“What happens if I’m like my mum? She was a shitty mother.”

“Oh, baby, there is no way you’re going to be a shitty mother,” I reassure her. “You’re the medic for your team. From everything that Drake, Miah, and Sam have told me about you, all I’ve heard is about how nurturing and caring you are. We all have doubts, but I promise you’re going to be a fantastic mother. Plus, having one like you did is a bonus because you’ll know what not to do.”

Wiping the tears from her eyes, her sadness crushing me.

“And you have me, baby, you’ll never be alone, I promise. If you ever feel like you’re falling, let me know and I’ll catch you. We’re a team.” Pressing soft kisses across her brow, eyes and cheeks until I get to her mouth where I leave one last soft kiss before pulling my head back to study her face, which was looking more relaxed at my words, “Okay?”

“Okay,” she agrees with a small smile, “I like that we’ll be a team.”

“Me too, baby, me too. Now how about we get up and find a shower, then I’m sure your dad will want to see you.”

“A shower,” Cassie groans, stretching out across the bed, breasts thrust up and out, making me bite my lip, knowing she needed a break but fuck me if my mate wasn’t gorgeous.

I’m broken from my reverie by Cassie pushing my against my chest, “Nope, shower and then feed me. I’m starving,” she orders, getting up from the bed.
