I rolled my eyes when I felt his dick nestle between my ass cheeks.

He always seemed so damn proud of it.

It didn’t stop me from smiling as I began to drift off to sleep.

? ? ?

The water was still running. I don’t know why I was torturing myself, but I had to look. Using one finger, I pushed the door open a crack and crouched down. Rivulets of water coursed down the length of his tattooed back. Those ass cheeks were so rounded and tight they could double as a musical instrument.

He reached for something, and it swung out, slapping his thigh before bouncing back to hang between his legs. Flaccid, and still dangling a great distance.

I swivelled around and sat with my back against the wall outside the door. I’d lived an acceptable life. Yes, I’d once haddreams. First they were decimated by my father and his crew—now by one humongous cock.

He’d kept his promise, though. Never even tried slipping the tip in.

You’re overreacting. It’ll be fine, Zira said.

Why don’t you shift and let him have at your coochie?

Silence.

Yeah. Thought so. He’d better have a doctor on standby.

I didn’t notice, at some point, that the shower had gone quiet.

Two large feet appeared beside me. The big toes had hair on them. Kind of cute, actually.

“Are you okay down there?”

“Fine,” I said, standing up—pausing only a second at the thick lump beneath the towel.

I mustered every scrap of dignity I had left and walked past him. I didn’t even bother closing the door when I sat on the toilet.

What was the point of anything anymore?

My pack had worked arduously to ensure security was tight and that everyone in attendance held an invitation. It helped me catalogue exactly who was present from the Silvermere pack long before my mate came downstairs.

“My King,” Marianne said, bowing her head.

The pack’s priestess had gone all out, wearing the red and gold ceremonial robes. Her greying hair was mostly hidden beneath the hood.

“Thank you for coming,” I murmured.

She held out her hand, but I nodded instead. There was absolutely no way anyone’s scent would be on me today of all days.

“It seems you’re more like your father than you know. As soon as he met your mother, he did the same thing,” she murmured.

“It’s difficult to acquire true knowledge without experience.”

I knew all about the bond, mating, and marking through stories and books, but nothing could have prepared me for Aliana.

“Wise words that will keep harmony in your home. The Moon Goddess not only created us through magic, but blessed us by pairing our souls. If you’re lucky enough to find them.”

“I take it you heard how I found her.”
