“What was it?”
“Your death. The Grandmothers forced me to go back.” A tear streaks her cheek, but she laughs as she wipes it away. “They pulled all the strings, and we both were their puppets. They crowned you as the Adalwulf Alpha and completed the Alpha Bond of Seeress to Alpha. I guess they want you and me to lead the pack.”
I stare at her, fully digesting her words. My heart pounds against my chest. “And you were still willing to leave with me?”
Fresh tears spill down her cheeks. “Of course. I don’t want to be Seeress anymore. I don’t want anything to do with the Adalwulf Pack. All I want is you.”
I grasp the back of her head, pulling her mouth to mine. I stroke my lips across hers softly, savoring the sweetness of the moment. She kisses me back, her tongue slipping between my lips.
I love you, starshine, I pull back and sign.
I love you forever, she signs back, moving in for another kiss. My cock lengthens, and she wiggles her hips, rubbing over it.
I groan, my hands moving to her waist. She reaches between her legs to grasp my cock, rising up and attempting to lower herself onto it. The water in the bath makes it too slick. She giggles when I slip out.
I laugh and reach behind me to pull out the plug, letting the water drain below our hips. Lifting Aster by the waist, I guide her onto my cock. Aster’s pouty lips part, and she slowly undulates, taking me deeper, then moving back. She’s a goddess, glorious and ethereal. Magical.
And she’s all mine.
I grip her hips, urging her deeper. Faster. She bounces over my cock, her breasts dancing, her lovely blonde hair cascading in waves around her slender shoulders. Our mingled breath quickens into panting. I flick my tongue over her nipple as it dances in front of my face, squeeze and knead her lush ass.
“Come for me, starshine.” I bring the pad of my thumb to her clit, and she screams. The vibration goes straight to my dick. My balls draw up tight as Aster’s inner thighs clamp around my waist, and the tight walls of her channel convulse.
I grip her ass and arch my back as I come, too. My middle finger slides down between the cleft of her ass, pressing against her anus. I feel the vibration of her shriek bounce off the walls of the bathroom as I fill her with my cum.
“Oh Fate. Oh Fate. Oh sweet Moon Goddess,” Aster pants, rocking her hips to ring out the last aftershocks of her beautiful orgasm.
I wait until she’s complete, then lift her off me and climb out of the tub, wrapping her in a fluffy towel.
I’m not finished with you, I sign, sweeping her up into my arms and carrying her to the bed.
After a second glorious round of sex, I hold her nestled against my body and peer down at her lovely flushed face.
“So, how long have you known?” I sign and speak.
She copies my signs–my brilliant mate, learning ASL so quickly. Know what?
“That I was the ‘true alpha’? Or did you make that up?”
No, she signs. “When I was a child, I overheard the Warden and Oma talking. She told the Warden he needed to find and kill the deaf wolf pup swapped with Aiden at birth. She’d had a vision of “a wolf with no ears” standing on the cracked dais with the Adalwulf mantle over his shoulders.” Aster looks up at me. “When I learned you were Liora’s son, born of my pack, I knew you had to be the wolf from her prophecy.”
“Because there can’t be that many deaf wolves born into the pack?”
“You’re the only one I know of.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
A frown appears between her brows. “I don’t know. I was still deciding what it all meant–to me, for you, for all of us.”
I nod. “That makes sense. You hadn’t chosen to mate me yet.”
Aster smiles and trails her fingertips along the back of my neck. “My wolf had. I knew you were my destiny–I’d been dreaming about you for so long. I was just a little slow to sort it out.” She gives me a slow slide of her lips across mine.
My wolf rumbles with contentment. Having her orange blossom scent in my nostrils and her body beneath mine soothes away the remaining franticness of almost losing her.
“I honestly didn’t feel it all come together until the moment we alpha bonded, and the dais cracked. That’s when I realized it was straight out of Oma’s prophecy.”
I brush her hair back from her lovely face. “You really don’t care about leaving your pack?”
