Page 30 of Red and the Alpha
They moved in sync with each other. Maxius caught her cries of ecstasy in his mouth as he deepened the kiss.
Their movements quickened.
Kamila’s muscles tightened again, and she threw her head back against the bed. She cried out. Maxius roared once his release shot out of him. He continued thrusting, filling her with his seed.
A growl ripped from Maxius.
He swooped down and sank his teeth into the meat of her shoulder. Her body stiffened, and for a brief moment, time stood still. The bond between them locked in place.
His hips stalled, and he remained buried in her.
Their connection blossomed. He could feel her life energy flow into him just as his seed seeped into her.
They were one.
Mated.
A warmth rushed into him, and he recognized it as her power. His mate was mighty strong, but Maxius was an alpha, and they were equal.
Fate had known exactly what she was doing when matching the two of them together.
Maxius pulled back from Kamila’s shoulder. He gently licked the wound clean. In a few hours she would have healed.
Lifting his head, he met Kamila’s curious gaze.
He tested the bond between them, and even with her wards up, he sensed her thoughts.
Is this what it feels like to be mated?she asked him telepathically.
Yes, we’ll always have a link with each other,he responded in the same method.
Her eyes were wide, and he knew she carried a burden.
As her mate, he would help her carry it. He had very broad shoulders and he would be there by her side.
“Any regrets?” Maxius asked aloud.
Kamila shook her head. A small smile formed on her lips.
“I hope you won’t have any regrets yourself, Alpha,” she teased.
He withdrew from her body and instantly missed the feeling of her wrapped around him. His gaze dropped down to his claiming mark, and his wolf howled.
It was a mark that would signal that she was a taken woman. In the eyes of the shifters, they were married.
“I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time,” he admitted. He brushed her long dark hair out of the way. Rotating on his side, he tugged her to him, not wanting to let her go quite yet. The feeling of her softer body pressed against his harder one was a feeling he wasn’t ready to go away.
Maxius watched Kamila’s eyes droop. He dropped a kiss to her forehead and reached for the covers. He pulled them over them and tucked her into his side.
“Sleep, mate,” he whispered.
A small smile appeared on her lips. Her body relaxed into his, and she drifted off to sleep.
Maxius was wide awake.
He had just claimed his mate, and for some reason, his wolf was on alert.
A recently mated wolf was dangerous.
