Chapter 28


    He continued with slow strokes that almost made me mad with want. He pulled outpletely and


    then pushed back in so slowly, I cried. Then he started to pick up speed. With every stroke, he


    amped up the rhythm until he was mming into me, his hands holding my legs as he almost bent


    me in half.


    "You''re mine." I heard the snarl from my world of heavenly bliss. They were almost drowned out by


    my songs of ecstasy. "You''re mine!" He stroked into me with a vengeance as if my silence frustrated


    him.


    "Yours." I moaned-sh-sobbed but he continued to repeat the words. He let go of my legs and


    lowered himself on the bed, his forearm holding some of his weight up as he copsed against me,


    his face buried in my neck.


    Asena perked up, howling and panting. He licked my neck several times, his teeth scrapping across


    the skin in the spot he told me he wanted to put his mark. I wrapped my hands and legs around him,


    lifting my hips every time he pulled back. His teeth scrapping against my neck drove me to the


    edge.


    A sharp sting caused my breath to hitch before I let go for the second time. This time, much more


    than forewords exploded behind my tightly shut eyes. I saw stars and the whole gxy. My legs


    shook, unable to stay around Cahir.


    I felt a connection begin to build, threads forming and connecting. A heartbeat other than mine


    began to pound in my ear and in a few minutes, it synchronized with mine. Our hearts beat


    together; the same rhythm and pace. When his heart stuttered, mine did too and when my heart


    stopped, his stopped too.


    I felt him like I had never done before. It was beyond my imagination, beyond what we had been


    thought to expect. Words could not describe the peace that washed over me neither could I exin


    the rightness I felt blossoming from my chest. I felt like I could do anything at that point, tackle any


    problem and I would be victorious. Riding on clouds could not give me the peace I felt then.


    "Mate!" Asena howled and I could feel Perseus howling along with her. A channel opened in my


    mind and I heard the voice of an Alpha wolf, strong and terrifying. It said;


    "You''re mine now and forever." It was quiet, exuding power, but it was familiar. It was the voice of


    my mate.


    I said, "yes," The sound drawn out of me as a moan.


    "We are yours, Perseus!" Asena yelled at her mate, her joy leaking through our bond.


    "Mine to love, mine to protect, mine to keep." The wolf snarled through the mind link. "I am the only


    one who will ever see you like this, the only one who will ever touch you like this. You''re my mate,


    my Luna, the mother to my pups." Cahir gasped as his wolf used the mind link.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    I felt something warmnd on my stomach. Ropes and ropes of a white substance sttered on


    me, some reaching as high as my chin. Cahir stroked his erection, his hand jacking up and down in


    a violent movement until he groaned and copsed beside me.


    The scent in the air made my wolf sigh. It smelt like bliss; the mingling of two bodies, the


    consummation of a mating bond.


    I rolled to my side with a nk mind. Cahir yed with my hair, massaging my scalp until I felt


    myself start to drift off to sleep.


    "Perseus really likes you," he mumbled in the quiet room.


    "Hmm." It was the only thing I could think of to say at that point. My mind was blissfully empty and


    my body sated. Those words had Asena dancing with joy but the weight of them did not register in


    my sleepy mind.


    In less than ten minutes after he spoke, I drifted off to a dreamless sleep. My body rxed into the


    cloud-like bed and my muscles wentx. Not for long though. The stickiness on my body was drying


    and turning crusty. My sweat made me feel gross and I almost jumped out of bed.


    I shivered at the feeling I got from all the sweat and semen on my body. Stupid, stupid Sia! I should


    have washed off before anything else! Now I felt like a dirty, crusty pig.


    Jumping out of bed, I rushed to the bathroom and turned on the warm water as Laura taught me.


    Warm water was something I never had in Silver Moon pack. Even in the dead of winter, I could not


    have warm water. Most of the time, I snuck in a kettle of water from the kitchen and mixed it in a


    small bowl for me to be able to bathe. Other times, I simply cleaned myself and went back to my


    work.


    I was letting the warm water wash away the dirt on my body but with time, I started to feel like I was


    wasting resources. Cahir came into the bathroom when I reached up to turn off the shower.


    "Leave it on." Seeing him in his full naked glory, his member still jutting out proudly, half erect, I had


    to look away to hide my reddened skin.


    I pretended totter my body with his soap while he came to stand behind me. The shower was big


    enough for the two of us to stand in without touching each other but I knew he had other ns. I


    understood the n when he started to wash my back, his movement soft and ticklish. A soft moan


    fell from my lips when he worked out the kinks on my shoulders but the moan turned to a gasp


    when I felt something hard brush my lower back.


    "Cahir –" I called his name as my eyes closed from the sensation of his big hands massaging my


    shoulders.


    "Hmm?" He murmured. It was then I realized his face was buried in my hair.


    "What are you doing?" I choked out when he moved closer to me and I could feel his erection


    pressed against my back.


    "Washing my mate." He washed down my back to my butt. Then he kissed his mark on my neck. A


    bolt of electricity fired me up. I moaned, pushing back into him. It felt like a switch had been flipped.


    Everyst drop of tiredness fled from my body and all I wanted then was to have him inside me. I


    needed to get closer to him –


    I braced myself against a wall when he spread my legs and pushed a finger into me. My breath


    caught before my heart started to fly around the ce.


    This – Did I miss out on this for twenty-one years!?


    All was not right in my world until he pushed into me.


    When we went back to the room, I saw the sheets had been changed. I almost died of mortification


    knowing people had been hurriedly trying to change the sheets I used while I screamed Cahir''s


    name a few feet away.


    I couldn''t dwell on it for long before sleep took me again. This time my body was clean – hell, my


    skin had turned wrinkly from how long I stayed under the water. I slept until Cahir woke me for


    dinner and after that, I slept some more.


    My dreams were filled with sunshine andughter at a table with people I did not know. I slept


    without worries for the first time in my life. The bed was soft, the warmth of the man holding me from


    behind made me feel safe and the air conditioning in the room was the perfect temperature.


    The next morning when I opened my eyes, I was alone in bed and shivering. I piled the nkets


    atop me and snuggled into the bed. My body and mind were sated but there was a nagging voice at


    the back of my head, my wolf was whining and I felt something major was amiss.


    "What is it?" I asked my wolf when I could not think of anything I''d forgotten to do.


    My body did not even wake me automatically at the crack of dawn. Sun streamed into the room


    through the raised curtains. The world should feel perfect but the brightness I woke up to was


    starting to dim, leaving my world dark and grey.


    "I miss Perseus," Asena answered. I knew then what the problem was.


    It felt as if a crucial part of me was missing. The hollowness in my chest made sense then. My mate


    felt too far away. Our bond – the fresh bond – it felt too stretched.


    Out of nowhere, my body became too hot for me. I flung the covers off and sat up in Cahir''s bed,


    swallowing down a building lump. My chest tightened and my breath hitched as I realized what all


    these meant.


    "Oh, goddess –" Did I really tie myself to the ruthless alpha for eternity?
