The trees opened up, revealing a small clearing blanketed in soft leaves. Logan stopped abruptly, his chest heaving. My heart thundered as he lowered me to the ground, the leaves cushioning my back as the rain soaked through my hair, draping it around me like a curtain.
He hovered above me, his face inches from mine, his breath warm against my skin. I reached up, threading my fingers into his hair, and pulled him closer, answering without words.
Our lips met, the kiss deep and searing, a merging of everything we were—broken, whole, cursed, blessed. His hand cradled my face, his thumb brushing along my cheek as the rain continued to fall, mingling with the heat between us.
This was us.
The chaos, the ruin, the rebirth.
This was the moment the world began again.

LOGAN
THREE MONTHS LATER
Iwoke to the sensation of Eve’s fingertips dragging along my chest, soft as feathers but burning with intent.
I smelled her arousal and smiled before opening my eyes.
When I turned my head, I was greeted by a knowing grin and hungry eyes. Her nightgown was nowhere to be seen and her breasts lifted with her breaths, hard nipples greeting the morning and instantly making me hard. She drew circles along my chest, adjusting herself so she could reach across me and pull herself up, dancing kisses across my torso.
My oracle wolf. My naughty little fated mate.
She ducked her head under the covers, and Goddess, I knew what was coming next. I let my eyes roll back as she swirled her tongue along my already hard length.
Since the fight with Grayson, when we both surrendered to each other, something elemental had changed between us, a bond that felt less like a tether and more like a tide—unrelenting and inevitable. Her presence alone was a force, but it was more than that. It was the waymyworld had becomeourworld.
Our physical closeness was a language of its own. Her fingers lingered longer on my arm, her body naturally leaning into mine whenever we stood side by side. And I had stopped resisting the magnetic pull to touch her, whether it was tucking a strand of hair behind her ear or tracing my thumb along the back of her hand. She was mine, but our love wasn’t possessive. We didn’t have to say it out loud, and we were no longer two separate beings learning each other’s edges.
We were not separate halves made whole. We were something entirely new.
She moved so her body was perpendicular to mine with her gorgeous ass in the air while her hot, wet mouth surrounded my cock. My head rolled against the pillow. The thrill of her tongue circling the head of my dick sent bolts through my brain as pleasure took me over.
I pulled down the cover to watch as she took me deep into her throat, and I ran my fingers through her gorgeous long dark hark. Strands of it cascaded over her face and the wild beast glowed gold in her eyes.
She ran her mouth up and down me, gently dragging her teeth and pushing me to the limit. It was so hard to hold back with her, especially when she was doing this only for my pleasure. It was all I could do not to come all over her right there and then.
“Evensong,” I gasped as she sucked on the head of my cock, rounding it with the flat of her tongue.
Shut up and let me fuck you with my mouth, she said to me through the bond, and I moaned. I was the alpha… but so was she, and my wolf would do anything she said. She nibbled gently, but the playful threat was clear.
Yes, ma’am.
I’d be a fool not to follow her instructions. Her lips tightened around me, one hand at the base of my shaft and the other pressing into my balls. She knew exactly what I liked and how I liked it, and could find new things I liked when I least expected it.
“Yes, my dirty little mate,” I whimpered. She began sucking in a frenzied motion, her hand following her lips and driving meup the fucking wall. She moaned against my cock and I knew I wouldn’t be able to hold on any longer. I reached down, finding her pussy soaking wet, and I moaned with the need to fuck her.
No, she said, pushing my hand back.It’s all about you.
I want your pussy, want to slam into you the way you like it.
She looked at me.And you’ll do it. Later. Be a good alpha and come over my tits.
She didn’t have to ask twice.
She pumped me with her hand, watching me as I went into paradise, my orgasm bursting out of me. I grabbed the sheets and I would have done anything,anything, for her. She could have asked me to move to Iceland and I’d have been on the next plane. Anything for the mate who knew how to make me come like that.
