Blake pulled me up into his arms and rested our foreheads together. Welcome to the pack, my mate.

In my mind, I heard Blake and Axel’s wolves howl in greeting and wished that mine could join them in celebration. Welcome to the family, Axel sent.

Thank you.After I sent the thought to him, I worked to pull my barriers into place, a little out of practice after so long without a pack.

Feelings that I thought I’d never feel again rose in me and I couldn’t help the words that poured out. “Blake, I... I’m falling in love with you. The Luna gave me such a great gift with you.”

“I love you, Kade, and I can’t wait to earn your love in return. Just knowing you have feelings for me is such a prize.” He ended his declaration with a deep kiss. His tongue licked into my mouth as he showed me with his lips just how much he adored me. Blake held me tight and kissed me until we were breathless, but didn’t push for more, likely picking up on my lack of arousal. I was too drained, too fearful for what was to come for anything more.

“Come on,” my mate urged, “let’s get ready for bed.”

With Blake by my side, we checked out the house, making sure we locked everything up. Kaine was already dozing on the sofa, with Axel waiting to hand over to him in a couple of hours.

We washed up and brushed our teeth. Blake was a steady presence by my side, giving me smiles in the bathroom mirror, keeping us in contact all the while. I felt so much better having the pack bond and my mate by my side.

Despite the events of the day, I slipped into sleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow, Blake wrapped around me.
