“I—”
“Sh,” he soothes, rocking me back and forth, as our skin touches.
“There’s no sparks.”
“Because you bonded with me, little mate.” He sounds so happy about it.
“But… I’m human. I… I don’t understand.”
“Neither did Topher during the moment,” Orion says, his chest vibrating in such a soothing way. It feels deeper, the feelings that it brings.
Calmness. Safety. Protection.
Warmth. Love. Comfort.
“You being human only makes the bond that much stronger since you initiated it.”
I frown, leaning back slightly in his lap so I can look at his face. “I wasn’t… I’m not ready for a bond.”
“You might not think you are, but your heart is.” My mate grins at me. “My beautiful, lovely, kind mate chose me. Bonded me. Loved me.”
I grimace, and he frowns. “I do love you.”
“You not want me?” He crosses his arms, nearly elbowing me in the boob as he does.
“That’s not?—”
He pouts, his lips looking so soft and full. “Mate not want Orion?”
“That wasn’t it,” I say softly. I fall for his dramatics and lean in close, brushing my lips against his. “I love you and Topher, so much. I just… I wasn’t ready to give up being human.”
“Mate won’t turn into wolf.”
“Ever?” I’m not sure why I’m so hurt.
“Not from biting me.” Orion grins at me. His eyes change back to hazel, and Topher smiles at me. “Orion’s loved up and can’t explain properly what’s happened.”
“Have I messed up?”
“Never.” His tone is forceful, and he leans in and kisses my forehead. His cock is pressed against my stomach, but it doesn’t even twitch.
It’s weird that I’m upset about that, right?
“To seal a bond, you need two things: intention and sharp enough teeth to maim the other person. Ordinarily, the bond is sealed by a werewolf. During… I was, well, my brain wasn’t working.
“But now, it’s clear to see. The magic between us, the bond… that doesn’t just exist on one end, princess. You’re a huge part of the equation, and when you bit me—well, when you bit us—you clearly had the intuition to claim us.
“To mark us as yours in some way. The bond knew, and it reacted. Then you bit me, breaking the skin, drawing my blood, and bonding us as one.
“You’re my soulmate. Mine, and Alex’s, and Seb’s and Ben’s. Just like we are yours. And tonight, you claimed me.” He beams at me. “You’ve fulfilled every single wish I ever could’ve had. Thank you for choosing me.”
I baulk, my eyes widening, my stomach churning. I don’t need to doubt the sincerity of his words when I can feel how deep the authenticity goes.
He means them.
There’s no room for disbelief.
I know without a single doubt that these echoes of feelings are his.
