I rocked into him, caressing every inch of him, trying to pour my feelings into every motion. Kade was my entire world, and I wanted him to feel cherished as we made love.

We were sweat slicked and panting when we both came together. I pushed back my knot. We really didn’t have all day to stay in bed together.

As I pulled out, I spread some of my release over his taint and balls again. My wolf was obsessed over having as much of my scent over our mate as possible. He knew we were going to be around other alphas and wanted everyone to know, without a doubt, that Kade belonged to us.

“You know we have to shower, right?” Kade asked, mirth in his voice.

Nuzzling his neck and licking his mating bite, making him moan, I said, “I know, just try to keep some of it inside you, please. My wolf needs it.”

“Hmmm, I’ll try.”

Once showered and dressed, my wolf suitably placated with my scent all over Kade, we headed to Kade’s home, with Roan driving us. It was tense inside Kade’s former home, a stark contrast to the easy car ride. I liked Roan and was glad that he had decided to stick around. Before we left the compound, I performed the ritual to induct him into the pack and watched as tears glistened in his eyes. “You have a home with us.” I told him, clapping him on the shoulder. Kade hugged him and my wolf stayed silent, understanding that all their love for each other was now friendship.

Kade’s house was different from how I remembered. Perhaps it was just because it no longer held his energy. He cataloged the changes in silence, as his papa observed us with a frown.

I felt Kade’s relief as we left his house to head to Mercury Delivers. The warehouse wasn’t far and everyone stopped what they were doing to welcome him back.

“I’m really sorry, everyone, but I’m not back. I’m just handing back my things.” Their disappointment was evident.

“You are all welcome at the compound. We’ll be having a full moon run in a couple of weeks and the non-shifters can join us if you want.” I said, reaching out to his friends in the hope he wouldn’t lose them because of me.

“I’d like that,” a man said. A vampire with long dark glossy hair.

“Hey, Isaac.” Kade said. I felt his discomfort, but his face was carefully blank.

“I’ve been meaning to apologize.” Isaac said. “I’ve been a crappy friend, and I’d like to make that up to you, if you’ll let me.”

“Um, I’d like that. Maybe we could have lunch or something soon?” Kade looked at me as if he needed my permission.

I’d like you to maintain your friendships. It’s important for you to have a support system. Kade squeezed my hand at my words over our link.

“Lunch sounds good.” Isaac agreed.

“We better go and speak to Dakota,” Kade prompted, and he pulled me towards an office.

Inside, Dakota sat at his desk, looking blankly at the screen. “Kota? Are you alright?”

“Hmm?” Dakota looked up at Kade. “It’s nothing, just a few things on my mind.”

“You know we’re here for you if you need us,” I said, earning a warm smile from Kade.

“Of course, thank you, Alpha.”

Kade handed over his things. “I might be quitting work here, but I’m not quitting our friendship, Kota. You are my family now. Thank you for all you did to help me over these last weeks. I’ll never forget it.”

Dakota’s eyes filled, and he stood, wrapping Kade in his arms. My wolf stayed at peace, secure in the knowledge that Kade was covered in our scent and that Dakota was part of our growing family.
