Chapter 66: Mated Allison

I feel incredible. Well, I'm sore in a lot of places, but mostly, I feel incredible. I understand why Sophie feels the way she does. about Hunter now.

I open my mouth as my mate hand feeds me another bite of food. He hasn't stopped touching me, caressing me, running his nose over my body since we came into the room last night. I was nervous, even

though it was just us, but he has been so loving, so gentle, and so kind, taking his time, exploring my body, and letting me explore his. And wow! What a body he has.

I reach out as I chew the piece of bacon, stroking his muscular chest. I have touched every inch of this man now, I know every part of his body and he knows mine, but still, I want more.

"You need to eat something. I won't be deterred this time, little mate," he growls into my neck, making my body shiver and heat pool in between my thighs. Since I'm naked and sitting in his lap, I'm sure he can feel my heat dripping onto his leg.

"That's what you said the last two times," I say, grinning. I grab a piece of egg and put it in his mouth, his eyes holding mine as he licks my fingers clean. The sensation of his tongue on my fingers has memories of last night and my mate's exceptionally talented tongue, racing through my mind.

"The last two times, 1 didn't smell blood on you. Your body has had enough for now," he says seriously. 09.37

"Tell that to my body. I still want you. I'm sore, yes, but it isn't stopping this intense need that I have to be with you," I say. I won't say that I won't ever be embarrassed with this man in the future, but after last night, after everything that we did, after baring myself to this man as he did to me, for me, there's not a lot of room for embarrassment.

"Mmm, I have an idea about that, but you'll have to be honest with me and let me know if it doesn't work."

"What kind of idea?" I ask excitedly. Anything that I can do to make this man agree to take me again, I'll do. I've become the type of woman I never thought I'd be. I'm a puddle of goo for this man. He made it easy though. I hadn't expected him to submit to me. I knew I would have to submit to him, he's the Alpha. But he submitted to me, more than once during the night, exposing his neck to me and making me his equal. That, more than anything, has bonded me to this man for the rest of my life.

The thought makes me lean in, kissing him gently as my emotions, my feelings for him overwhelm me again. I feel tears p**k at my eyes, and I feel him frown as he pulls away from the kiss, just enough to look at me.

"What are these emotions I'm feeling from you?"

"I'm so overwhelmed by you. You, this, it's so much more than I ever dreamed of," I say as my throat closes and a tear falls down my cheek. Kayce is quick to lean over and kiss my tear away.

"I don't like you crying. Tell me what you're feeling," he says, stroking his hand up and down my back as I lay my head on his 09:37

shoulder.

"You submitted to me."

"You're my mate," he says simply

I lift my head, another tear falling. "And that's why I almost can't stand how strong my feelings are for you. You're so perfect." "Shhh," he says, as the tears start falling. He wipes them away with his thumbs. "Allison, I'm far from perfect. But I get why Hunter is willing to put everything at risk to protect his mate. I would do anything for you, Allison. You are my mate, my partner. I want you to stand by my side. I want you to argue with me when you don't agree with me. I want you to love me with the trust and openness that you showed me last night. I want to know all your secrets and I want to share mine with you. I was envious of Hunter the first time I saw him and Sophie together, frustrated for the last week as I watched them get closer while I waited to mark you. But now, this is so much more than I ever realized. I thought I understood, but you can't until you feel it, until you have it. You are my equal, Allison. You are my love. You are my everything." I lean in, kissing him, opening my mind to him so he can feel h** deeply, how desperately, I already love him. He growls, opening his mind to me and before I know it, we're back on the bed.

I thought he would slide inside me again, but instead, he begins moving down my body, smirking up at me. "I want to try my idea."

"And what was your idea?" I ask, stroking my fingers through his thick hair.

"A wolf's saliva is healing. Rodion is pretty sure he can heal you, and then I can take you again. Or, if my little mate wants, she can ride me again, since you seem to like taking control."

I feel the heat on my cheeks, but bite my lip and refuse to turn away from my mate. "Yes, I do like it."

"I do too. I get to watch that glorious body bouncing on me while you make yourself come on my **k. S**t f**g thing I've ever seen," he growls before spreading my legs wide and licking every part of me until I'm h**e once again from screaming.

Much, much later, I'm wrapped up in Kayce's arms and I feel him kiss the top of my head. "I'm going to let Hunter know we're staying another night, but we need to leave tomorrow, Allison. I need to get back to the pack and they need to know that I've found my Luna. We'll have to do what Hunter did, give the pack the option to stay or go. I hope that most or all of them will stay, but I'm not counting on it. The practice of public claimings will no longer be allowed in our pack. It's not just about this," he says, gesturing with his hands to show us happily naked and sated in bed. "It's about what's right, it's about fulfilling my oath as an Alpha, and it's about ensuring that our population can co tinue for generations. I mean, look at Hunter and Sophie, pregnant already.".

He looks down at me. "I hope like hell that's you in a couple of weeks."

I smile up at him. "Me too. And with the amount of sex we're having and I hope we'll continue to have, I don't see how I won't be."

"Aren't you a greedy little mate?" he asks, looking down at me

possessively.

I lift up, putting my chin on his chest so I can look him in the eye. "Is that a complaint?"

"Nope. I'm thrilled you seem to want me as much as I want you."

He strokes my hair away from my face. "As much as I hate it, we need to get up. I need to talk to Hunter, and you need to talk to Letti. Oh, and Nikki wants to talk to you. I'm pretty sure she's ready to take me on if you're not happy with our relationship," I say smiling.

"She's a good friend. She'll make a great Luna if she replaces the right man."

"I'm pretty sure that man is Robin and if so, you two will be neighbors."

My head pops up. "I hadn't even thought of that. I'll still get to see her!"

He smiles at me. "I like it when you're happy."

I smile back at him. "You make me happy."

"I i..tend to keep it, that way," he says, sitting up and bringing me with him, kissing me and pulling me into his lap.

I feel his hand slap my a** cheek as he pulls back. "Now, get that cute a** in the shower."

I crawl off his lap, and turn, looking at him over my shoulder. "Wasn't there some new position you wanted to show me in the shower?" I ask, seductively.

His growl is the only notice I get before I feel his arms around me. I yip as he carries me into the bathroom and shows me yet again how fantastic my life is going to be with this man. When we finally emerge from our room, it's nearly dinner time. We walk downstairs and see Alpha Hunter first. He's smirking at Kayce. "I guess you're staying another night?" "Yes, thank you."

"No problem," he says, turning to me. "You're glowing, Allison."

I smile shyly, as Kayce puts a protective arm around me.

"I'm very happy, Alpha," I say, smiling up at my mate.

"That's makes two of us," he says.

"I know Nikki has been anxiously waiting to talk to you and the twins have finally emerged from their room. Sophie is with them, but it might help them to see you. You know them, right?"

"Yes, I do. I didn't get the impression that their pack was a good one," I say, stepping forward. Kayce is right. We do have things we need to do, things that can't continue to be put aside berause I want to be selfish and have my mate all to myself.

'We'll make time to be selfish together. I want the same with you, but yes, we both have responsibilities,' Kayce says in my mind.

I nod, but I'm looking around the packhouse. "I need to replace Letti, Alpha. Do you know where she is?"

"I believe she's with Nikki on the back porch, waiting for Sophie and the twins to return from seeing the pack lands. Sophie Chapter 66: Mased

wanted to make sure they knew where the borders were so they could stay inside.

I nod and take a step away, feeling Kayce's hand take mine, holding me in place. I turn and look at him.

"Aren't you forgetting something?"

I frown at him. "What?"

He taps his lips with his finger, smiling at me. He wants me to kiss him, wants me to publicly show my affection for him, publicly accept him. Now, I do blush. He wants to know that I trust him, that I know that he'll always protect me, and I know it's important to him that I believe that.

I step up to him, putting my hands on his chest and lift up on my toes. Much like I've seen Hunter do with Sophie, Kayce lets me lead the kiss, only taking it as deep as I'm comfortable making it. Since it's the first time we're kissing in public, it's short and not a deep kiss, but he seems happy that I showed that level of trust.

"Let me know if you need anything," he says, kissing my hand before finally releasing me.

"It's incredible, isn't it?" I hear Hunter say as I walk away.

"It's so much more than ever expected," my mate replies, making me smile as I head outside.

"Hey girls!" I say, and they both jump up to hug me.

"How are you?" Nikki asks, looking at me intently.

"Really, truly fantastic. I've never felt better. It's not a fluke with

Sophie. The mate bond with the right man is incredible. Kayce is incredible!" I gush.

"Does this mean we have to start calling you Luna?" Letti asks

me.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that. I talked to Kayce, and we were hoping that you'd want to move to our pack. You don't have to, I know you feel safe here, but...we've been together a long time, and I was hoping..."

"You want me to come with you?"

I nod. "Kayce promises to keep you safe and he and I, well, we need to talk about it more, but we're talking about opening our -pack as a safe place for she-wolves as well."

She throws her arms around me. "I was so sad thinking that I'd lost you. I would love to come with you!"

I smile, wrapping my arms around her. "The thought of leaving you here felt like I was losing a sister."

"I felt the same. When are we leaving?"

"Tc norrow."
