Page 107 of Awakening His Mate

A blanket is wrapped around my shoulders, a second around hers. I tuck it better over her shoulders to hide her nakedness.

“You’re mates,” Halle says, her voice wobbling with shredded emotion.

I stand on shaky legs, the blanket slipping off me. I don’t care that I’m naked. I’m used to it, but I pick her up bridal-style, ensuring she is completely covered.

I turn to my alpha, my brother, letting all my gratitude shimmer in my eyes. “Thank you. Both of you.”

He nods, his mouth tugging into a rare smile. Halle doesn’t try to hide her happiness, beaming at us. “It worked.”

“I hate to mate and run, but?—”

Cade waves this off. “Go. You deserve this moment.”

I carry my woman, my mate upstairs, loving the way she clings to my neck.

I kick open our bedroom door and step inside before booting it closed behind us. Walking to the bed, I gently lower the most important person in my entire world onto the mattress.

Love swirls in my head, overwhelming feelings of contentment.

Make love to me, she says through our bond.

Fuck. It brings me so much peace to feel her inside me like this.

Peeling back the blanket to reveal her body, I place a hand on her stomach and rub my cock through her wetness before I thrust inside her, making her back arch into my touch.

I take her reverently, like never before. I thought I felt love previously, but this is reverence.

I want to worship her, show her how much she means to me, and how grateful I am to have something I never thought possible. I would have taken a chosen bond, made her mine that way. I would have carried on without a bond if that was the only choice too. It didn’t matter to me. She was mine no matter what, but there is relief in knowing we're connected now.

I grip her hips, rolling mine as I drive into her over and over, her slick channel gripping my shaft so tight I see stars. This is pure need.

Her moans and whimpers are a balm to my racing thoughts, and my wolf is happy as I take our mate in every way possible.

My balls tighten, and the way she’s squeezing my cock tells me she’s close too. I pinch her clit, rubbing the sensitive bud as she goes over the edge. I follow her a second later, her pussy squeezing my cock so hard it draws my orgasm out of me.

I spill my seed inside her wet channel, my hips stuttering as she milks every last drop from me. Sweat covers my skin, the back of my neck clammy as I try to calm my racing heart.

I don’t want to pull out of her just yet; I carefully maneuver us on the bed so I’m lying facing her, my cock still buried deep inside.

Her dazed expression makes me grin.

“You’re my mate,” I growl the words.

She snuggles against me, moving my cock and making us both groan. I’m already starting to harden again inside her, and I like the feel of her heat wrapped around me.

I crush her against my chest, layering kisses on every part of her I can reach.

“You make me feel like there is nothing to be afraid of,” she says.

“There isn’t.”

She peers up at me, her eyes soft, and through our bond, I feel a hint of pain. “I’ve never been more happy than I am in this moment, but it also cements the fact that we have to find out the truth.”

We do, and to do that, we have to get inside the Order. I don’t know how the fuck we’re going to do that, but even the thought of taking Dove back to that place makes my insides squirm.

“I know you don’t want me to go there,” she says, and I realize I must have communicated that through the bond. I guess hiding my feelings is a thing of the past. “I don’t really want to go back there either, but we have to. We need this closure, Jackson. It’s the last part of our story.”

I kiss her head, soaking up the scent of her. “Then we finish this. We find whoever fucked with our memories, and we get them to undo it.” I kiss her again. “And we learn the truth, Dove. We find out if we had a kid or not.”
