Okay so you horny wolves voted for Syrra a lot more (I think you just want the scene to continue lol) so I'm going to do her POV.  BTW the pic above is what her tattoo looks like. The pic is actually henna but oh well, pretend it's a tattoo.

Maia also got requested a lot and I haven't written her POV in a while so I will do her next.

This one isn't edited either btw

He lets out a low growl and suddenly I'm on my back in the dirt. My sword has disappeared but I don't care.

Kaine looms over me, his eyes flaring gold. "You are such a tease you know that?" he growls.

"I know," I grin.

He leans down to capture my lips in his. They're soft and warm. My hands make their way to his hair where I tug slightly, smirking at his growl.

He pulls away and starts taking off his armor. I reach down to unlace my own. I sit up and Kaine helps me pull it over my head. I giggle as he tosses it aside with a dramatic flourish.

I snap my fingers and the rest of both of our armor is gone. Kaine glances down at himself wearing nothing but boxers before shaking his head at me. "You have to teach me that little trick," he murmurs, pulling me closer.

I straddle his lap with a small grin. He watches me with his golden eyes and my breath catches in my throat when he bites his lip. His fingers trace up and down my spine and I shiver.

He slides his hands around to my stomach, then slowly up to my binder. "May I?" he whispers.

I nod breathlessly, watching as he carefully takes it off. I inhale sharply as the pressure is removed from my chest.

Kaine lays me onto the ground again, using his arms to hover above me. He presses hot, open-mouthed kisses on my stomach. He uses his lips and his tongue to trace my sternum tattoo, nipping lightly at the skin.

I run my fingers through his hair, closing my eyes with a sigh. He kisses up my chest and slowly makes his way up to my neck. I tilt my head, my breathing growing heavier as he starts to suck.

I slide my hands down to his muscular shoulders, his skin hot under my touch. My fingers curl as his hands move down to my sides. He grips my thighs and I wrap them around his waist, pulling him closer.

He squeezes my butt and I can't help the moan that escapes my lips. I feel the growl rumbling in his chest as something sharp scrapes against my neck.

"Do it," I gasp.

"Are you sure?" he murmurs into my skin.

I nod. "Mark me," I breathe.

He growls lowly before sinking his canines into my soft flesh. Pain shoots through my neck and I bury my face in his shoulder to stifle my scream. Tears prick my eyes and I grit my teeth against the pain.

My nails dig into his back as he suddenly bites harder and the tears roll down my cheeks. He pulls away and kisses me gently. I can taste my blood on his lips.

"I'm so sorry princess, I know that hurt," he mutters softly, wiping away my tears with his thumb.

"Princess? I'm a queen you fucker," I laugh but it comes out more like a sob.

He smiles a little and kisses me again. "Yes you are. A beautiful queen," he says, moving my hair out of my face.

He sits up, pulling me with him and I rest my head in the crook of his neck. I curl up against him, smiling as he wraps his strong arms around me. I twirl my fingers and mutter a short incantation under my breath.

"Woah. Okay you need to warn me before you start doing magic." He leans back on the chair I made then winces sharply.

My head snaps up. "What?"

"You scratched me pretty good," he chuckles.

I cringe. "Sorry."

He shake his head. "Don't be," he says, kissing my forehead. "Now, about that tattoo—"

"Yeah you never told me what you thought about it, you kinda just stopped talking and sat there with your mouth hanging open when I showed it to you the first time," I laugh.

"Yeah well I was a little shocked. I wasn't expecting you to suddenly pull down your dress and I definitely wasn't expecting you to be braless," he mutters.

I bite my lip to hide my smile. "Yeah okay fair."

"So it's a symbol of you being queen right?"

"Yeah it's a lotus flower, it symbolizes rebirth and the unification of the clans."

"What about the other designs?"

"Uh well the lace and the dots are just to make it look pretty," I admit.

"Ah okay. Oh and the belly ring is pretty sexy too by the way," he tells me with a small smirk.

I glance down at the gold and diamond piercing in my navel. "That one is also just because I liked it. Though there are some traditions where I have to wear a special ring that's connected to these chains that go around my waist," I say absentmindedly then sigh. "Well we should probably head back before your mother sends someone to come looking for us."

He frowns. "I thought they couldn't see us?"

"Well they can't but we should still head back. I want to take a bath, I'm covered in sweat and dirt. And a little bit of blood too," I mutter.

He sighs. "Alright," he mutters, moving his arms so I can stand.

I snap my fingers and glance down at the silk dress covering my body. Kaine swears again. "You know that's the fastest I've ever seen a girl get dressed," he mutters as he starts to get dressed himself.

I roll my eyes. "I bet you've seen a lot of girls get dressed too," I mumble.

"Yeah I'm not proud of that," he sighs.

"Hey, it doesn't matter to me who you've slept with, as long as you don't start sleeping with girls now that you have a mate," I shrug.

He raises an eyebrow at me. "I wouldn't dream of it. What about you? Have you ever had a boyfriend before?"

I chew on the inside of my cheek. "No," I admit.

"Really?"

"Yeah unfortunately taking over three clans and becoming a queen required a lot of devotion and left very little time for relationships," I sigh. "But now I have plenty of time because I have people doing everything for me."

"Okay that reminds me—now that I've marked you, we really need to talk about where things are going from here," Kaine says.

"Can I get cleaned up first?"

He nods.

I mutter a few incantations under my breath to remove the cloaking spell.

"Why can you do some spells without any ingredients or materials whatsoever?" Kaine asks.

"Because I'm just that powerful," I smirk. "Now where the hell did my sword go?"

*******

I slide out of the hot water with a sigh. "My gods I love this place," I mutter to myself. The bathroom has a magnificent tub that's more like a pool. It's in the ground and the water comes from an underground spring so it's a milky blue color and feels smooth as silk.

I use a fluffy towel to dry my skin and move to stand in front of the mirror. I pull my hair to the side so I can look at the mark. It's no longer bloody and is already starting to heal.

My gaze wanders down and I shake my head a little at the red-purple splotches scattered across my chest and down my stomach. "Okay next time we make out, I'm giving you a dozen of these," I say, pulling on my nightgown and walking into the room.

Kaine sits up on my bed and shrugs with a sheepish grin. "I would apologize but I'm not sorry. Not even a little bit."

I shake my head, trying not to laugh. I climb up onto the bed beside him and lean back against the headboard. "Okay so what did you want to talk about?"

"First question, is sex something you're okay with or not? I don't want to rush you or push you into anything," he says.

I laugh a little. "I'm fine with it Kaine," I tell him, my lips curling in amusement.

"Okay good to know. Are you fine with eventually completing the mating bond too?"

My eyebrows furrow. "I thought having sex completed it?"

"For a wolf yes. But I still have a dragon and you're a witch so what about the other customs?" he asks.

"Oh, yeah I guess that would be appropriate. I need to warn you though, a witch bond can be pretty painful; it's much harsher than a dragon bond, the spell literally binds your souls together and it is permanent. You cannot reverse it and even death won't break it."

"What do you mean death won't break it?"

"If someone dies then the bond remains. You can still feel your mate's spirit and you won't ever be able to take another mate," I explain.

"Wow," he mutters.

"Yeah, they're really rare. My parents completed one but I've never seen any others that have."

"Well just seeing the agony werewolves go through after losing their mate, I don't think I'd even be able to consider taking another one if something ever happened to you," he murmurs.

I smile a little. "Yeah," is all I can say.

"So last thing I think we should talk about—and just let me know if it's too early to discuss this but—do you see kids in your future?" he asks.

I chew on my cheek. "Well it's probably best if I tell you this now but," I pause, sighing heavily, "I can't even have kids. I was born infertile."

His eyes widen a little. "Really? What about a spell or—there has to be something that could change that?" he asks.

"There is but for every life you wish to conceive you have to sacrifice another. And I'm not willing to kill someone just so I can have a child."
