A sudden lump catches in my throat, but the words come out rough and true. “Nerissa Del Mare, my storm, my little treasure. I vow to protect, love, and cherish you for the rest of my days, until the goddess calls me home. I will fight at your side, but never against you. I will shoulder the storms when they get too heavy and you need a break, the same way you ease my tempest when the world tests my limits.” Tears fall from her eyes, and I wipe each one slowly. With reverence. “I love you, Nerissa. Today and all my tomorrows.”

“Kai, that was unfair.” Around us, our families laugh, while those beautiful violet orbs shine. “My wolf. My anchor. My home. I vow to love you without conditions, to walk every path with you, and to be your compass so you always find your way home. In this life and every one that follows, I ask the gods to bless me with you as my partner. As the love of my life.”

“The gods bear witness to this beautiful bond and bless it with an eternity together.” My pack howls at that while her sirens sing, the song a tune of celebration and life. Happinessfills the night. My heart is at peace, but it all fades away when I crush my mouth to hers. She tastes like sin, like everything right in the world and that I fought to be worthy of.

“Mine,” I growl against her lips. The need to finally mark her can no longer be ignored, and to the sounds of cheers, my wolf comes forward but doesn’t take over. This is a special moment for the two of us, and when she breathes out a,“Yours,”I’m done for.

Scooping her up with one arm, I toss her over my shoulder and walk us into the woods. Roars of approval follow, both pack and pod happy, their fists beating against their chests.

Nerissa laughs at that, but she doesn’t tell me to stop. She knows where I’m taking her.

The woods welcome us, shadow and moonlight wrapping us in privacy, and I set her down only when I can’t stand another minute without her bare for me, her skin pliant under my touch.

“I love you, Nerissa, and I thank the gods above for crossing our paths.” Drawing her scent deeply into my lungs, I close my eyes for a moment and savor her decadent scent. I taste her in the air around us, this unique blend of salty and sweet that’s currently lashing my flesh as if her siren essence were a whip.

Marking me. Owning me.

“And I don’t just love you, my alpha…I belong to you. With every breath, every act—my soul has always been yours.”

“Goddess help me,” I grunt as my fangs drop, cutting my bottom lip. It’s a small wound, no more than a few drops of blood slipping, but her subtle gasps only serve to call the beast forward a little more. My black-tipped claws break through, and fur rises across my skin as all my senses settle on her.

My siren. My life.

“Come to me.” My voice is gravelly with hunger, the deep timbre little more than a growl from deep within my chest. A sound that affects her as her scent deepens with a sharper note,one that pulls drops of pre-come from my engorged tip. Her essence strokes me while the precious little mermaid watches me as if I were a sacred, cursed wonder.

My cock gives a harsh jerk beneath the confines of my trousers, and I rip them off, cursing anything that keeps me from her. Skin to skin. Moreover, her entire body trembles at the sight.

Thighs are squeezing tightly. Nipples pebbled into high peaks; the beads of her bra are a light yellow in honor of my wolf’s golden eyes. And yet, that’s not what I’m drawn to.

I’m captivated by shimmering scales beneath her human flesh. Iridescence in shades of blue, pink, and that same unique purple that matches her eye color.Fucking beautiful.

“Come to me, little treasure. Let me mark that pretty little neck, then worship you like the good girl you are.”

“Like this?” She drops her skirt to the ground, stepping away from it before moving the triangles of her ceremonial bra aside, making it look like a necklace now. Ornament for the skin I’ll break, then heal with my tongue. She steps closer and lifts her hair off her neck, then lets the strands fall slowly in a tease before giving this predator her back.

I’m behind her in an instant, my arm around her midsection and flipping her around so we are face to face. I position her tight, wet heat above my cock. The head kisses her opening, testing her slickness before I lower her fully to me. Her feet are off the ground, her slick hole fighting to fit my knot, as I bring my lips to her ear.

“Do you accept my bite and knot, Nerissa Del Mare, as a sign of my ownership and devotion to you? Both are solely yours, as I forsake a life where you aren’t mine, as I am yours.”

“Yes. Please.”

“I accept you, too, love. Mark your wolf.” Her face turns toward me at the same time I bite down, breaking the skin whereshoulder and neck meet, and her blood coats my tongue. It’s heavenly, sweet, and salty—a part of my DNA now.

“Oh, fuck,” she moans, her teeth digging in deeper to my jaw, and a full-body shiver runs through her. The bond fully snaps into place, and it’s a wondrous thing to feel what she does, to hear the filthy thoughts running through her head, and the last one has me bracing my feet on the solid earth below.

Knot me, Alpha.

My hips punch up, and at the same time, she uses my shoulders for leverage, working a quarter of my knot into her small hole.

“Goddess, baby. That…I need to?—”

“Rut me, Kai. Claim me.” She’s off my cock and on all fours before her next inhale. A squeal falls from those perfect lips, and the sound is like a stroke down my shaft. I need more of that sound. To hear it for the rest of my life. My claws dig into the ground, fangs skimming up the back of my little treasure’s neck as I cover her body with mine.Fuck, she’s perfect.

My solace. My home.

On all fours and with her holes exposed to nature—given to me as a gift—I rub the head of my cock over each. From her ass to cunt, I spread her slick a few times, pulling a delicious whine from those plump lips. Then again. I do this three more times and slam in deep.

This isn’t sweet or soft. I fuck my queen like a beast. My claws dig into the ground on either side of her, tearing through the earth while my hips pick up the pace. There’s no reprieve or pause, and when she comes with a long, drawn-out moan, I kiss the back of her head and thrust forward a final time.
