“Then do it.” I tilt my neck and present it to him.
Before he can make contact, hands are ripping me away from my mate.
Rion roars in fury.
“Woah there. I don’t think you know what you’re doing,” Felix says from behind me.
Griffyn is holding Rion back but it looks like a struggle.
“Get it together Rion! I can’t hold you and your vampire strength!”
Rion breaks away and pulls me from Felix and into his arms. Once I’m tucked safely with him, he starts to calm down.
“Fuck, it’s like instinct completely took over as soon as I knew you were my mate,” I say.
Rion’s arms are wrapped tightly around me. “I know what you mean. I didn’t have to taste your blood to feel the pull. It took over completely.”
“You both looked like animals,” Griffyn says as he rolls his shoulders.
“Sorry.” Rion grimaces.
“Don’t worry about it, Rion.”
I wiggle to get down but Rion doesn’t budge. “No. You can’t go yet. I’m still getting control of myself.”
Of course, Blaze and Aksel pick that moment to come back. The door swings open and Blaze and Aksel march inside the house with deep frowns. I can’t tell if it’s their normal expressions or if something is wrong.
“What’s going on here?” Aksel’s eyes take in every detail.
“Well…” Griffyn starts dramatically.
“Anna and I are mates.” Rion is staring at Aksel as he says it.
Aksel’s expression doesn’t change.
Blaze steps forward and puts a hand out for Rion to shake. “Glad to hear it.”
That breaks the last of Rion’s tension and he slowly sets me down before taking Blaze’s hand.
“Thanks.”
“Should we throw a mate party?” Griffyn asks.
“You’re a pain,” Aksel says to Griffyn before focusing back on Rion. “When we first found you, I would have considered killing you if you told me you were Anna’s mate. Now, I’m glad she has someone else who would do anything for her.”
My eyes start to freaking water, which is embarrassing as hell, but how could I not when none other than Akshole is being sweet right now.
In his own, twisted way.
“I can see that you treated me the way you did in defense of Anna,” Rion concedes.
Aksel looks around at everyone before stopping on me. He stares into my eyes. I don’t know what he’s looking for but he must find it because he nods and steps towards Rion.
“I guess we can start over then.” Aksel holds his palm out to Rion.
I hold my breath and pray Rion is going to accept Aksel and move forward.
Something that felt impossible is happening before my very eyes as Rion takes his hand and shakes it.
