“One thousand fucking percent,” I breathe, yanking her down and kissing her roughly as I begin

meeting her thrusts with my own. She gasps as she holds onto my shoulders,

speeding up.

“Fuck, I’m close,” she whimpers, her head tilted back as her eyes flutter shut.

“Eyes on me, Little Mate.” I suddenly command, wanting her to look me in the eye when she comes

undone.

Her heart, which is already racing, speeds up as she looks into my eyes, her cheeks flushed as she

continues to moan with pleasure. “That’s it, baby girl…“I murmur, kissing her lips softly, as I thrust into

her faster, feeling her walls clamp around me. I’m on the fucking edge but I’m trying to hold out until

she comes.

“Fuck… Oh, fuck!” she cries out, her mouth falling open in a silent scream. I feel her juices trickling out

of her and I let go, cursing as I release my load inside of her.

She wraps her arms around me, and I release her hair, wrapping my arms around her as we both get

our breath back. Now that’s the perfect way to end a night…

ATTICUS.

Something smells so good around here… I’ve just been notified that Valerie is here and I can’t wait to

see her and check if she’s alright. I’ve been out of my mind for the majority of

the evening.

I’m walking down the hallway towards the room Valerie is in, hoping that she and her friends have

settled.

“I do apologise…” my voice dies as I stop in my tracks, my heart racing.

Mate.

Everything comes to a standstill as I stare at the woman on the bed. The intense scent of lavender,

shea butter and roses hit my nose, sending a wave of emotions rushing through me as my wolf rears

his head. The powerful urge to claim the beauty on the bed fights against all my self–restraint.

My mind goes blank and all I can think of is her.

Strands of her platinum locks fall across her face, but I can see she has a dainty nose and plump lips.

Her angled face is defined to perfection and Valerie turns and I quickly look away, my mind spinning.

“Welcome, the both of you.” I clear my throat, unable to focus on anything as I hold my hand out to

Zade.

My mate, I have a mate. 1

I glance back at the woman on the bed, unable to stop myself from raking my eyes over her round

breasts and her toned stomach that Valerie is working on. What happened to her?

“Are you still mad at me?”

Valerie’s voice brings me from my thoughts. “I was never mad at you…” I reply, trying to regain

composure, but how do I do that when my emotions are spiralling out of control? My wolf too is pacing

in my mind, wanting nothing more than to mark and claim his fated one.

“Oh ok, then no hug?” Valerie asks.

I run my fingers through my hair, feeling Zade watching me and I walk towards her, trying to remain in

control. The closer I get, the more this is becoming harder.

Is it a dream? Is it a reality? I don’t know how to feel. I don’t know her… my emotions….

I smile at Valerie, trying to remember that she was in danger hours earlier, and I hug her tightly.

“You ok?”

“Yeah, I just… didn’t realise that you had… people who were injured this severely with you,” I say, my

gaze falling on the woman on the bed. She’s even more beautiful up close…

No. This is just the mate bond speaking. I’m… I’m not ready for a mate… 1

Valerie sighs as she tugs free. “Yeah… this is Adriana, and her sister Ada is in the other room. Both

were targeted by the Arkan, the human hunters. Just look at her injuries. They show no mercy, Atticus.”

I nod as I slowly back away from the bed. “Well, it’s good to have you here. My staff will bring you food.

You and your friends will be safe here. I bid you both a goodnight and I’ll see you tomorrow.” I give

Zade a nod before I turn and leave.

My heart is thumping like a drum as I walk away from that room shaken. I was not expecting that, not in

a million years did I think I would somehow run into my Goddess–given mate.
