“I think he’s married to a very large bear, and they have a beautiful wife that they have constant sex with. She’s a succubus, after all. I’m pretty sure they have secret lube stashes in every inch of that house. And the guest house.”

“I sure as hell hope so.”

They tumbled onto the bed, and Liam crawled over Alec to search the nightstand. “Jackpot.” He waved a bottle of lube, and Alec grinned, his hand on his cock as he slowly slid his fist up and down.

“Who’s going first?”

Liam swallowed hard and looked down at Alec’s girth as he nodded. “Well, we both know neither of us is more dominant, so I say we just take turns.”

And then Liam found himself on his back, Alec’s mouth over Liam’s cock as he swallowed him whole.

Liam didn’t even have time to think before his hand was tangled in Alec’s hair and he pumped up into his mate’s mouth.

“You win, this time.”

“You can take me next time.”

And then there was no more talking. Alec’s mouth was warm, soft, and he sucked like a dream.

Liam was almost to the point of orgasm before Alec pulled away, and then the sound of a bottle opening filled Liam’s ears.

He couldn’t think. He kept his gaze on Alec as both of them touched and loved and caressed each other. Alec worked him slowly, and then when they were both ready, Alec hovered over them and slowly, inch by inch, filled him.

They both gasped, the burn intense, the feelings more intense. They were chest to chest, touching everywhere, and it was everything.

Alec slowly worked in and out of him, and both of them groaned, holding each other. When they came, at the exact same time, the mating between them worked its magic, and they each sucked in a breath.

Liam could feel the bond snap into place, a slow ache that had waited centuries upon centuries to reach them. They were mated, perfect halves of a whole, and he finally had his soul mate. His lover, his best friend, his everything.

They kissed again, slowly, methodically. Everything.

And when they fell asleep, only for a few short hours because they had to hunt in the morning, Liam held his mate close and knew he would never let him go again. Because he had waited far too long for this.

Tomorrow, there would be blood, there would be death. Tonight…tonightwas perfection.

ChapterFive

Every time Alec took a step, he could feel Liam within his soul, steady, controlled, and on the hunt.His. Leaves crunched under their feet, even as they were as quiet as they could possibly be. The smell of decay was prevalent, rot along with the freshly mown grass from the park across the street. Birds chirped in the distance. Yet not a single one perched near. It was as if they knew there was a predator in their midst, and he and Liam were not that threat.

His wolf pushed at him, wanting to shift. They couldn’t, not yet. They were far too out in the open to change into their wolf forms.

And that meant they had to fight as men, not wolves, and hope to hell that the human authorities didn’t show up.

They couldn’t use warding or spells to keep them safe, and that meant they needed to make sure things worked for them this way.

However, with each step, with each intake of breath, he could feel his mate.

They had wasted so much time. So much fucking time trying to make sure the other was good enough, that they were good enough for each other. They wouldn’t be wasting any more time. Alec had his mate by his side, his wolf, his future Beta or Tracker.

First, they had to kill his brother.

Just the idea of having to end a life wasn’t something he wanted to do. The fact that it was Charlie, his brother, the person who was supposed to be his best friend and someone he could always rely on, put a foul taste in his mouth. He couldn’t go back and change anything, so he wasn’t going to.

“We’re almost there,” Liam whispered, and Alec nodded.

Almost—notclose enough.

“Close.”
