Chapter 17 (Part 2 epilogue)

The ceremony was done at eight, and went by very quickly. They held the ceremony outside under the light of the moon. They each read a verse stating like a normal human marriage, that they would love and be true to each other until death. They exchanged the rings that they had bought for each other a few days ago, and then kissed.

The visiting Alpha announced them as mates, and sent them off into the woods. To complete the ceremony they had to phase into wolf form together, and call to the moon for the rest of the pack to hear. They phased back into their human forms and headed back up to the house.

The Alpha bonded their wrists together with a leather strap. The strap connected them together, sealing the bond. The other wolfs bid their farewells as they left to go back to their pack. Jack and Tony left the house with them to go back to their cottage.

Ryan led Angel into their room and used a pair of scissors from the bathroom to cut off the leather band. He lifted her into his arms and softly laid her onto the bed. He slowly removed her clothes, as she worked to remove his in return.

He started by kissing her lips slow and soft. He ran his tongue across her lips then slipped into her mouth. He played with her tongue and teased it with his own. He then moved to her ears nibbling lightly on the lobes, and sucking on her neck. He kissed every inch of neck and shoulders and paused when he got to her breasts.

Angel could feel the sensations flowing through her body with every kiss from her mate. He was showering her with kisses making sure he didn't miss an inch of her body. He had made his way to her breasts and stopped. She could feel his hot breath blowing across her breasts and longed for him to continue in his adventure. She let out a whimper, and arched her back to press her breasts towards his waiting mouth. He let out a low growl at her response knowing that he was driving her crazy making her wait.

He grabbed onto her breast massaging it in his hand, he sucked on her nipple until it became erect in his mouth. He flicked it a few times with his tongue before moving to the other breast to show it the same attention.

Angel let out moans of approval as she felt the shivers flow through her body with each flick of his tongue on her nipples. Her hands explored his body moving over every muscle with her fingers. She ran her hands through his hair lightly scraping at his scalp. He moaned in response as he felt chills run down his spine from her touch.

He could feel her getting moist, and longing for him to enter her body. She moved her hand down to his shaft happy to find that it was already hard and ready for her. She pressed her hips up to his and thrust them back and forth. She wanted him in her, but he wasn't giving into her yet.

He wanted to tease her and make her want him more before he gave himself to him. He wanted her to beg him for it. Angel raised her hips again whimpering, his chest rumbled in response.

"Please Ryan, I need you. I need all of you" she pleaded with him.

His face returned up to hers and he kissed her with passion then pulled away. He sat up on his knees and grabbed her by the hips. He pulled her body up to his as he separated her legs and wrapped them around his waist. She could see his long hard shaft standing at attention, ready to enter her. She lifted her hips to be even with his, and waited for him to enter.

He slowly slid his long hard shaft into her hot moist body. A moan of pleasure came from both of them. He worked his body back and forth as he entered and exited her body. She matched him thrust for thrust and they began to move faster.

He leaned down and balanced his weight on his elbows so that his body was on top of hers and he could look into her eyes. They were both pressing at each others bodies with each stroke, trying to get deeper into her body. He could see the vein throbbing on her neck, and she turned he head to the side as an invitation.

Angel's whole body was filling with pleasure. She could feel the sensations of each thrust he made went deeper and deeper inside of her. She found herself focused on a vein throbbing in his neck and wanted to get closer. She found herself tilting her head to the side and he lowered his body closer to hers.

They began to lick and suck on each others necks above the veins. Their bodies were struggling to hold on, as they were so close to release. She felt a pain in her mouth as her canines began to emerge. She bit down on his neck. At the same time she felt a pain in he own neck. They began to lick and suck at the blood on each others neck. Their bodies moving faster together until they both exploded.

Ryan rolled himself off of her before collapsing on the bed next to her. He was breathing heavily and could hear her doing the same next to him. Their hearts beating loudly at the same rhythm. Thoughts of love and pleasure flowed through his mind. Although he was thinking of the same things these thoughts were different. His thoughts were still there but he also had other thoughts that were softer. These were Angel's thoughts.

The soul bond had connected them, making their minds work as one. He lay there listening to all the thoughts running through his mates mind. She was thinking of all the love that she had for him. The pleasure that he had just given her. The feelings she gets of excitement and happiness when she is around him. He thought to himself that he could lay here and listen to her thoughts forever.

Angel lay next to Ryan trying to control her heavy breathing. At first the only sounds that she could hear was the heavy breathing and the sound of their hearts beating together. Then new thoughts flooded her mind, thoughts that were so much different than her own. These were thoughts that belonged to someone else, these were Ryan's thoughts.

She could hear him thinking about the pure love he had for her. The way that she made him feel when she was with him. The feelings of wanting to make sure she was safe, wanting to protect her. She could feel how happy it made him to be around her, and how his life now felt complete knowing that she would always be his. He listened to his thoughts as she drifted off to sleep.

The next morning Angel woke up and could feel that her neck and body were stiff. She could feel Ryan start to move around next to her. She sat up in bed to stretch her arms and back and felt Ryan's arm wrap around her waist.

"Good morning love" he said as he sat up next to her in bed.

"Good morning" she said back as she finished stretching her body. She thought about how sore her whole body was feeling as she looked over at her mate.

"Yeah I know my whole body hurts too" he responded to her unspoken thought as he stretched his back.

"Wow that's going to take some getting use to" she said.

"What being so sore, that won't happen all the time. Last night was just intense and our bodies are adjusting to the new blood in our systems." Ryan responded. Angel laughed

"No not that. I was talking about you responding to something I didn't even say. You responded to one of my thoughts."

"Oh that, yeah that will take some getting use to" he chuckled as kissed her on her cheek.

(Epilogue)

A lot of things changed for the small pack over the next few months. The renovation on the lower level of the farm house was complete and jack moved out of the cottage into one of the rooms there. Angel and Ryan had the back room that looked out to the forest in the estate, in what was now the Alpha house. Tony moved into the other bedroom in the Alpha house, as it was accustom for a beta to live in the Alpha house. All three men now worked part time at the new mill, and spent their days off working on finishing the upper level of the Alpha house. Pack meetings were held in the living room of the farm house once a week. Where they would go over patrol routines and plans for the upcoming weeks.

Angel still worked a few days a week at the diner but after long debates with Ryan he finally convinced her to quit working at the bar. She held her position as Alphas mate doing household chores and making meals for the pack. She enjoyed her simple life and her small loving family.

She and Ryan often talked about expanding their pack and their family. He had a few leads lined up for new pack members and they decided they were going to try for a pup of their own during her next heat cycle. She would often look back on how her life had changed since her 21st birthday. She was proud of her new family. She was proud to be a werewolf and part of a pack, and she's was proud that Ryan would be her forever mate.

The end!!
