♦ ♦ ♦

The last week and a half with Reign has been everything that I've ever dreamed of. Waking up to her, cooking with her, going for walks with her, running together as our wolves. All of it. This is what mates do and I never will take it for granted, not when I feel this alive.

Reign has been to see the doctor about going on birth control, she's even consulted our pack therapist about starting sessions because Milo has too and she doesn't feel so alone.

I love their bond. I love that someone can love Reign as much as I do but as a brotherly figure. A figure in her life that she's probably been pining after since she told me what happened with her family. The things I'd do to her parents for allowing their daughter to be pushed out of the pack, her brother for hurting her. Hector. Fucking Hector for abusing her, manipulating her.

Sometimes I want to push it to the back of my mind but I can't. I can't stop thinking about what she told me when she came home that day. I know she doesn't want to keep talking about it but I've been preparing bloodshed in my mind for days.

She deserves justice for everything she has endured.

I spent the day sorting out my office, all the furniture I trashed and the things I broke. I had to face it at some point, otherwise I'll remind me of everything I felt in that moment. The disgust. The panic. The terror.

When I pull out the torn leather chairs, my cracked desk and destroyed paintings. The room looks bare but better than it did before, so much better. Since Reign came home, I've had so much work to do but I've been putting it off.

Fran and Jesse have stepped up for me and agreed they'd help out. I know Milo has his other shit going on so I didn't expect him to pull his weight when he doesn't know what's going on with Nate.

But I know I need to get back to it. The pack needs their Alpha and I have no doubt that Reign will be there to help rule with me. I want to make this the strongest pack we can be, with Reign by my side, I can do anything. We can do anything.

She'll be such a great Luna. I've never had a doubt about that.

I dust off my hands and stare at the single lone chair that I didn't destroy. When I perch in the seat I rest my elbows on my knees and take a look around, the wallpaper might be fucked but it's nothing a bit of redecorating can't do. Maybe it was time for a change in the first place.

The door to my office creaks open and I watch as Reign emerges from the hall, her eyes scanning the room before they fall upon mine. Her lips curl and she walks towards me. "Thought I'd find you in here," she says.

I nod. "Thought I should clean up my mess."

Reign walks to the chair as I lean back and she slips into my lap effortlessly. I wrap my arms around her as she tucks herself into my chest and places her head onto my shoulder. "Do you know what you're going to do with it?"

"I thought you could help me," I murmur into her hair before kissing her cheek. "It'll be ours. Our office and it needed a makeover anyway. What do you think?"

She picks up her head, glances around the room with a soft hum. "It was so dark in here before, all the furniture and the wood stain of the desk. Even the pictures."

A low chuckle escapes my lungs. "Probably represented my mood before I met you."

Her light blue eyes turn to find mine. "Well what about a change of colours?"

"Change of colours?"

"Yeah," she grins. "Blue or green. Something brighter, more vibrant than black, brown and whatever that awful colour of the table was."

I quirk an eyebrow at her. "Mahogany?"

"That," she points at me with a soft laugh. "I'm not saying make it look like a nursery but sometimes brightness can increase productivity."

"Oh?" I tilt my head and run my thumb down her bare arm. "Where did you hear that?"

She shrugs simply. "Jenna told me."

Jenna. Her therapist. I can't help but smile. "Okay," I nod in agreement and wrap my arms tighter around her frame. "If it increases productivity then I'm sold."

"Don't make changes just because I said it," she holds up her little hands.

I shake my head. "It'll be our office. We'll both use it and I want you to feel happy working in here. If you want a pop of colour, we'll change it so you can have a pop of colour."

Reign's eyes flick between mine as she rests a hand on my cheek. "We can work on it together," she says, focusing on my lips. "Things we both want. It's called compromise."

My eyebrows shoot upwards. "Compromise. I like that."

She leans forward and brushes her nose against mine before her lips come down on mine softly, sweetly. She's been eating berries or something with a taste that makes me want to devour those lips.

"So..." she trails off. "I've been given the all clear from the doctor about my birth control pills."

I focus on her eyes as she swipes her fingers through the back of my hair. "Oh yeah?"

"Said I'm good to go if we don't want to use other protection," she drags her eyes across my face before gazing into own. That stare could have me on my knees in an instant.

My cock twitches at the suggestiveness of her voice. I grip her waist a little tighter and pull her impossibly closer. "Uh huh," I grunt thickly. "And what about it?"

A low breath escapes the back of her throat as her lips touch mine again. "Well I was thinking that–" she pauses to cup the base of my neck. "--I want you to mark me. And I want to mark you. I want this to be us forever."

I tilt my head and kiss her mouth with a little bit more force. "Are you sure what's what you want, angel?"

She whimpers against me and nods eagerly. "Positive. I've never been so sure of something in my life," she murmurs as I dip my lips to her neck, nipping her where I would mark her. Where I've dreamed of marking her. She tries to suppress a groan but doesn't do a very good job with it. "As long as you want to spend the rest of your life being bound to me."

My wolf howls inside me, I slide my hand up the centre of her spine and rock her body into mine. I'm seconds away from having a cardiac arrest. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you, angel. Bound to you without a doubt."

She shudders at my words, exposing even more of her neck for my lips to latch onto. Her skin is hot and rising in goosebumps at my touch and I have to use all the restraint inside me not to take her on this chair as she says, "Then mark me."

I raise her body into my arms as I stand from the chair, her legs wrapping around my waist and her mouthwatering scent suffocating me to the point of needing actual air to breathe. "Then let me take you to bed," I murmur sensually into her ear. "Let me make love to you, angel."

Reign's breathing becomes harder as I carry her out of the office and upstairs to our bedroom, not caring who watches us on the way past. My lips latch onto hers, being careful where I walk. But she grips onto me for dear life and kneads her fingers into the back of my hair.

By the time we're upstairs and I place her down onto the bed, I perch beside her, cupping her face between my hands. Taking another kiss, deep and slow. "I'm not going to rush this, Reign," I whisper to her. Her eyes are bolted shut, my words causing her to whimper. "I'm going to take my sweet time with you. I'm going to have my way with your body until you're crying from so much pleasure that neither of us will be able to move from this bed for the rest of the day."

"Okay," her lips tremor. "Have your way with me."

I take her waist back between my hands and lay her down on the bed. My fingers press to the sliver of midriff that is showing between her jumper and leggings, I slide up until I pull the jumper from her head leaving her in nothing but a small bralette underneath.

Her eyes watch me cautiously as I stare down at her delicious body.

"Mmm," I hum as I dip my head down. One kiss to the centre of her sternum, one kiss above her belly button. One kiss on either side of her ribs. "You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, angel."

Reign arches her back at my words of endearment. Words that I have thought from the second I met her. "That's a big statement to make," she passes a breathless chuckle.

"It's not a statement when it's true."

I drag my lips down the centre of her stomach until I lock my fingers inside her leggings and pull them from her legs, exposing the baby pink thong she's wearing. I pathetically suck in a breath because they're lacy and sit against her pale complexion perfectly.

My hands smooth across her thighs, noticing how her fingers bunch into the duvet beside her. "So," A kiss to the inside of her knee. "Fucking," Another kiss to her other knee. "Perfect."

"Ev," she pants before I grip her underwear and pull them down her silky legs.

I slide my lips down the insides of her thighs, listening as she breathes heavily. I press kisses closer and closer to her core until I'm merely inches from her soaked slit. My cock grows beneath my trousers at the smell of her arousal.

Mine. She's all mine.

My fingers gently push apart her legs, gripping onto them so I can lower down. I don't tease her because I want to give her everything, I want her to know that she can have this at any given time without being messed around.

One lick and she moans. That is all it takes for her to exhale her pleasure.

But I don't stop there, I keep going. One lick after another, pushing my tongue between her wet cunt until her quiet whimpering fills the air and her delicate hands rest on mine. I twist my palms and entwine our fingers, pressing them to her thighs softly.

I suck on her clit that's growing beneath my tongue before licking and sucking again on repeat. "Everett," my name is nothing but a ghostless whisper. "Oh God."

My lips hum into her core, tasting every last drop of her sweetness. So fucking delicious and I'll never get used to her taste on my tongue. It's addictive. She might as well be my personal drug because I want to feast on her until her eyes roll back into her head and nothing but my name remains on her lips.

By the time I push her thighs further back, brushing my thumb across the back of her hand she's propped her head up and is watching me through midnight eyes. I stare right back, devouring every part of her beautiful pussy.

Her lips tremble at the sight and she heaves slowly. "You're gonna make me come."

I keep my eyes on hers, swirling my tongue across her clit with torturous strokes. The need for her to come all over my tongue beats my need to tease her, to make her beg for it. Tonight isn't about that. Tonight is about her and her pleasure. Tonight is about us becoming one. Belonging to each other.

"Ev," she curls her toes and throws her head back as I suck a little harder than before. She opens her mouth and screams out as her orgasm rides straight through her. I lap up her wetness, she quivers underneath me but I tighten my grip on our hands that are still pieced together. "Oh fuck."

I'm sure my cock is about to punch a hole straight through my trousers after watching her come apart like that, with no restraint. So beautiful. I can't take my eyes off her because I don't want to miss it for a second.

She pushes her hand against mine and I remove my lips from her throbbing clit. Her head nuzzles back into the pillow, exhaling a long and meaningful sigh of content. The bond between us begins to glow and pulsate, I know she can feel it too.

When I lean up from the bed, Reign follows my lead slowly and helps me take off my clothes. No rush. We're still in no rush. We can be here all night if she wants us to be. I certainly do.

Her fingers graze my collarbones, the muscles on my arms and back. Every part of me she touches until she replaces her hands with her lips. "You are so beautiful," she whispers into my skin. "You always tell me that I'm beautiful. But so are you. Sometimes it hurts me to look at you."

I heave out a slow laugh of adoration. My hands can't help themselves, I twist and pin her down to the bed. My naked body covering hers. Those big blue eyes watch me as I cascade a finger down the curve of her cheek.

"It's nice to know we feel the same," I press a featherlight kiss to the corner of her mouth and watch as her eyes flutter close. "Because when I look at you, it's like there is no one else in this world. Absolutely no one. It's just me and you."

Reign hums at my words, running her arm down my biceps affectionately. "Just me and you."

I pull back slowly to fist my cock and Reign watches. I'm already hard but I need a moment before we do this. A moment to admire her for what she is. My mate. My mate.

"Without a condom?" I ask.

She nods and leans up, pressing her mouth to the curve of my shoulder. "Without a condom. I want to feel every inch of you. I want to feel everything."

A low growl forms on my lips as I eye my mate. God, I want to feel every part of her too.

"Lay back," I whisper and she does, dropping her head to the pillow.

I position myself between her legs and place the tip of my cock against her wet slit, for a moment I pause and Reign is biting her lip with anticipation. Slowly I slide inside her, almost moaning at the feeling of her without something in the way.

My arms cage around her head slowly as I push myself deeper, Reign's hands latch onto my muscles and she whines beneath me. When I'm positioned deep inside her, giving her a chance to get used to my size, I pull out and thrust back in.

We moan at the same time. Echoing off the walls at the sensation of her skin on mine.

"Yes," she pants and digs her nails into my skin. "That feels so good. You feel so good."

I bury my head into her neck, sucking and kissing along the skin of her throat. She's burning up beneath me but we're both in for a surprise of the pure euphoria of the mark.

My hips take it slow, building up before bringing my pace back down again. I love listening to Reign's little noises, whimpers, even her breathing as I fill her back up again. She raises her head to catch my lips and I cradle the back of her head as I deepen the kiss.

Our tongues graze and then we sigh. Lips twisting and hearts thumping.

Reign's throat tenses as I hit her g-spot directly. She breaks the kiss to moan and I take this time to look her in the eye, taking her nice and slow. Her hands brace on my shoulders, her wide eyes taking me hostage.

She bites down on her bottom lip as I take my time. She wanted to feel every inch of me, so I'll allow her to feel every inch of me. I can tell she's building because her breathing is becoming uneven and her eyes dilating to the extreme.

I find her lips again and bite her bottom lip gently, nibbling. Only a taste.

She gasps when I thrust a little harder but not quicker. Tears now brimming in the bottom of her lashes, lips trembling with a new pleasure. "Oh Everett," she moans my name like my new favourite song. The only song I ever want to hear for the rest of my life. "So good. So good."

The words are barely falling from her lips as she inhales sharply. Arching her chest into mine, the bralette that is sitting on her body is still intact so I dip my fingers in the band and pull it down, exposing her hardened nipples. Aching. I'm aching.

I grunt at the sight of them, bouncing slowly as I take her. My spare hand raises to rub my thumb across the tip and Reign is gasping, clawing. "Ugh, angel," I press a kiss to her collarbone. "You are everything and more."

Reign bites her lip again, so hard I'm sure she's about to draw blood. Our bodies move in unison, using each other to our maximum pleasure. But the flow of our bond carries us into each other's arms. Peaceful and beautiful.

"Come for me, angel," I whisper against her pink, plump lips. "Let me mark you. Let me claim what is mine."

She stares me directly in the eye, not once breaking contact as I rock into her once and then twice and then she widens her gaze and closes them again. Breathless moans fall from her lips as she's pushed over the edge, angling her neck perfectly for me.

I lean down and drag my lips across the fresh skin, she moans out my name at the same time I plunge my canines deep into her neck. Crimson blood fills my mouth and I never knew what to expect from this moment except that she will be intoxicating and truly delicious.

My teeth begin to tingle and my heart vibrates with deep pleasure, the bounds between us beginning to connect and pull us together for eternity.

Reign's moans turn to screams of pleasure as I pull back my teeth and use my tongue to bathe the mark, lapping up the blood. She shudders at the sensitivity but I don't stop, I don't want to. I stare at the mark for a split second. Everyone will know she's mine.

Absolutely everyone.

She takes a few moments to calm down, my hips still moving inside of her. I kiss around her red mark, she whimpers and goosebumps brighten her skin. "I love you," I whisper. Another thrust. Another kiss. "I love you."

Reign's back arches so high that her nipples touch my chest, grazing them only making my cock impossibly harder. She gasps for a breath as I pepper a light kiss across her mark once more, thrusting harder than before. "I love you." I murmur again.

When her mouth opens she releases another loud moan, barely spluttering out words I can understand as another devastatingly beautiful orgasm crashes over her. Her body shakes but I kiss every inch of her face, wrapping her up in my arms as she crumbles apart and reforms herself again.

"I'm yours," she pants weakly. "Only yours."

I nod but her eyes are bolted shut. "That's right, angel."

My hips don't stop but I slow down, allowing her to regain her breath. Once she pushes her golden hair from her eyes and looks up at me with a lazy gaze, I know what she's feeling. Content. Happiness. Belonging.

She presses a soft hand to my hard chest and I slip out of her for a moment. "It's my turn," she says with such radiance that I know she can own confidence like nobody's business. If anything it makes me even more turned on.

I fall to my back and she climbs across my body with slow movements, mirroring mine from earlier. "You said no rush, right?"

When she hovers over me and lowers herself down, I know she's clenching around my cock and adjusting to the size of being on top. All the time and she's never been on top. Why? Because I am too much of a dominant to see otherwise and now I realise I've been missing out the whole time.

My hands latch onto her waist as she leans forward, waiting for a response.

"No," I heave out. My eyes take in her breathtaking body.

But God. She's about to kill me and leave nothing left.

"Good," she purrs before she begins to move.

I can't stop watching, my fingers kneading into her skin as she rides me. My eyes floating to the way her golden strands of hair coat her shoulder, then my fresh mark on her neck that's glowing through the room.

She rides me like a swan on a lake. Gracious. So fucking gracious.

Then when she throws her head back and moans I almost lose it. She's talking about taking it slow but I won't last another three seconds with her like this. Not when these are the first visuals of this position I'm having.

Not when she looks like a Goddess that has fallen from heaven.

Her eyes open and she presses her palms to my chest, leaning forward so that her perfectly rounded breasts are angled directly at my face. A sweet smirk covers her lips as she watches me. "I love you," she holds my gaze. "I love you so much."

"Reign," I warn her when my wolf begins to become on edge. I'm finding it hard to fight off my orgasm.

"Come on," she leans down to my neck, swirling her tongue across the hot skin. "You want me to mark you, don't you?"

My throat clenches. "Yes."

She breathes out a puff of air through her nose. "Then show me how much you want it."

When her hips grind harder into me and she nips at my skin, I'm gone. I am long gone. I can feel my cum shoot out of my cock and bury deep inside of her. My chest takes a deep breath and suddenly she's taken a bite on my neck. For a moment I can't see anything but bright colours and stars in my mind.

My climax explodes and explodes again. I've never shivered from an orgasm. Not like how my body is reacting now as she laps up my blood, soothing the fresh wound with her little tongue.

I can barely catch my breath as she continues to ride me, my hands trying to explore every inch of her skin for some stability. But this girl, my mate who I am bound to forever, is shaking my world left, right and centre.

Once she pulls away I grip the back of her neck and pull her lips to mine in a fiery kiss. I need the taste of her on me now. Forever.

She gasps into my mouth and I roll us onto our sides, my cock slipping from her. I wrap her in my arms tightly, both of us listening to each other's erratic heartbeats. I smoothe back her hair and kiss her forehead over and over.

"I don't even have any words," she exhales after a long moment.

"Me either," I admit. It was so much better than I imagined. Nothing that could be reenacted or changed.

Only one word. Perfect.

"We're officially mated," she whispers into my neck, her breath tickling my new mark that I will wear with pride.

I cup her cheek and angle her head to mine. "Sure are, angel. You're stuck with me."

Her lips swish from side to side playfully. "I could definitely think of worse things."

"Definitely."
