"So, what do you think about the pack?" Caleb glanced at me.

"Honest?" I looked from the road to Caleb who was gripping the steering wheel. His heart was pounding loudly. A drop of sweat rolled down the side of his face.

Caleb slowly nodded.

"We need to work on your social skills." I took his hand in mine and intertwined my fingers with his to reassure him. I couldn't bear to see him that worried.

"My social skills?" He turned to me briefly, his eyes wide. He pulled up in his parking garage.

"Yes. Half of the pack members are terrified of you." I let go of his hand, kissed his cheek and opened the car door.

"The other half was too busy admiring our new Luna to worry about their tyrannical Alpha." He took my wrist and pulled me near him.

"Wha—"

Caleb caught my lips with his in a rough kiss. I tangled my free hand in his hair and he grabbed my hips and pulled me to his lap so I was straddling him. I barely had any space between him and the steering wheel. This is a position I could never get tired of. I'm sure that if we had gotten this close before being separated, I would not have made it. I would've been too damn thirsty to do anything.

His warm strong chest was pressed against mine as he kissed me hungrily. I rocked my hips rubbing myself against him. His breathing became shallow and he groaned against my lips. I loved the way he reacted to me.

He opened the car door and picked me up with one arm. I giggled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his hips enjoying the feeling of his strong body. I kissed his neck, sticking just my tongue out just enough to caress his soft skin that was now covered in goosebumps.

Once in the room, he softly laid me down on the bed and removed his shirt. My mouth watered at the sight of my mate's perfect body. I crashed my lips against his, pulling him down. He settled between my legs as I deepened the kiss. Suddenly, breathing became most of a choice than a necessity and right now my choice was to kiss him.

He pulled away and I almost whimpered, but he tugged the hem of my dress and pulled it up. His eyes roamed my body and he smirked. Red lace underwear is always the way to go. The lustful but still adoringly way he looked at me made my heart beat even faster. He loved me. I had nothing to be afraid of. This is the place where I have belonged all along—wherever the heat of his body could reach me.

He pressed his lips against mine once again but broke away to place soft feather-light kisses on my cheeks and down my neck. He got rid of my bra while I unbuttoned his jeans and pulled down the zipper. I sucked up a breath when he leaned down and his tongue caressed my right nipple. His teeth lightly grazed my delicate skin. I dug my nails into his back and caused him to growl against my skin. His hot breath on my breast made me want him even more.

I sighed and cupped his cheeks. "The is something that stills annoys me."

He froze and looked up. His eyebrows were knitted together and he reached to touch my cheek. The worry on his face was evident. "What is it, my queen?"

I giggled and signaled at the gold chain I gave him in his eighteen-birthday. "I want you wearing nothing but this chain, but your pants are in the way."

He looked down and let out a breath before smirking back at me. "That can be arranged." He grabbed his jeans, ready to pull them down, but I stopped him.

I put my hand and on top of him and shook my head. "What is the hurry?"

He chuckled and got off the bed. How could I just watch this? I helped him out of his clothes and ran my hands over his abs and thights. His muscles clenched under my touch and he let out a snort.

I grinned and looked up at him. "Am I tickling you?"

"Maybe." Laughing, he pushed me down the mattress and then climbed on top of me.

I pulled him down into a hot kiss, arching against his body. He wrapped an arm around the small of my back pulling me tightly against him. He tugged off my underwear as he trailed kisses down my belly. I gasped once he reached my aching spot and caressed it with his tongue.

I took a deep breath and pulled him up. There was something I needed most than this right now. Tingles erupted through my whole body at the contact as he leaned down to whisper in my ear.

"Are you sure." His voice was raspy and laced with want. How could he even ask that? There was no way I would back down now.

I licked my way up from the crook of his neck to his ear, his sweet and salty flavor dancing in my taste buds. "I have never been surer of anything in my life."

He pulled back and smiled down at me before pressing his lips to mine in a searing kiss before pulling away and searching through his nightstand drawer and retrieving a squared packet. I arched an eyebrow and he shrugged. 

"As soon as I knew you were staying with me I had to make sure that nothing would interpose between us when the moment arrived." He wasn't lying. That I knew. We could never lie to each other again. Our bond was this strong now, and I was enjoying every second with him.

"Oh, really?" I smiled.

He chuckled. "I was hopeful." 

After we both were satisfied and tired out, Caleb basically collapsed over me—not that I would complain. His weight over me felt perfect. He rolled off me, keeping an arm draped around my waist and resting beside me. I was still catching my breath. In my whole life, I had never experienced something like this. "...It was amazing."

He placed soft kisses up my shoulder and all the way to my cheek. "The best."

I laughed. "I don't know if I should be happy or annoyed by that comment."

"Feel happy, please?" He smiled sheepishly and I couldn't help but giggle at how innocent he looked.

"Want to do it again?" I grinned.

He laid down on his back and took a deep breath. "Give me a few minutes. I'm not a machine."

"Could've fooled me."

He gave me a look and kissed me softly. I really thought that we would do it again right then, but instead, we talked... a lot. He asked me about that New Year's Eve, about my training, my job, and my friends. He listened to me paying close attention to everything I said. 

I did the same as he told me everything that had gone down in the pack while I was here. Being able to openly talk and ask questions about anything was the best feeling in the world. All of my worries were lifted off my shoulders because now I had an unconditional ally who would always be on my side and would always make me his priority, and I would do the same for him.

"That sounded so poetic." Caleb took my hand to his lips and kissed it. "And is true. You're my love, my companion, and my life partner, and I'll never ever let you face your fears alone anymore."

"Wait... You heard that?" I stared at him. "I didn't mind-link you."

He laughed. "And I didn't talk or mind-linked you either before. We almost completed the mating process. Can't you feel our bond now?"

Yes, I could feel it, our souls binding together. There was only one more step to completely accept each other and I was ready.

Caleb smiled and kissed the crook of my neck, but I was too impatient. I pushed him away and got on top of him. He chuckled and placed his hands on the back of my thighs.

"I love it when you take charge."

I smirked and leaned down to kiss his neck. As I brushed my lips against his skin his hands gripped my hips. His ragged breathing and his soft whimpers let me now that I have found the mark's spot. Larentia was getting impatient, and she threatened with taking over. She had waited long enough to be with her mate and I had done so as well. 

My teeth elongated and I sunk it into his flesh. He hissed and pulled me even closer to him, making me press my chest against him. I licked some droplets of blood as the mark healed itself, just leaving my mark on him.

He flipped us over and swiftly brought his lips to my neck, finding the spot almost immediately. It didn't take him much time to mark me. His wolf was nearly on the surface. I clung to his body moaning at the delicious pain on my neck which was fading away and being replaced with only pleasure.

He licked my mark sending waves of delight laced with need through my body. I shivered as he pressed his erection against my low belly. We had to complete the mating process again, just in case.

A/N: I apologize for taking this long to update. To be honest I've been having some rough week. My uncle once said: "All that people [people with mental issues] stop taking their meds as soon as they feel better. They are just like that. That is why they never get better." I don't think that is completely true but it is true in my case. I'm a walking disaster. I'm not asking for sympathy or advice, just telling you the reason I've been missing. 

BTW: I know this was not that explicit, but this is not in the mature section and it's not an erotica story. Also, most of my readers are underage! Y'all need holy water.

BTW2: I've had another story in my mind for a (long) while and I had to write it down. For months, I've been debating whether to post it or not. It has more than six chapters already. What do you think?
