Thale captures my mouth in a searing kiss, muffling my cries of pleasure. We cling together, mouths joining as our bodies join again and again.
The steady glide of his thick length strokes my inner walls perfectly. And each time he withdraws, his swollen knot tugs deliciously at my entrance before popping free.
Thale gradually quickens his pace as our shared pleasure mounts, stroking into me with deep, powerful thrusts. I wrap my legs higher around his waist, opening myself fully to his claiming.
"Yes, Thale, more!" I cry out, teetering right on the brink of ecstasy.
In response, he begins snapping his hips harder into mine. I feel his swollen knot catch and tug at my entrance with each plunge now. The stimulation has me racing toward the edge.
"Please, I need your knot!" I beg desperately.
With a growl, Thale drives into me one final time. His thick knot pushes past my lips and begins rapidly swelling larger, locking us together. The building pressure triggers my climax and I scream his name, inner walls clamping down rhythmically on that hard swelling.
Thale's muscular arms tremble with the effort to hold back his own peak as my climax ripples through me, my inner walls spasming around him. I cling to his broad shoulders, gasping his name in ecstasy, fully lost in the storm of sensation.
As I start to float back down to earth, Thale finally lets go of his tenuous control with a ragged roar. I feel his throbbing length pulse within me as he finds his own shattering release.
I gasp and arch into him at the feeling of liquid heat flooding my core in potent bursts, prolonging my peak deliciously. In this moment we are one, our pleasure and passion intertwined.
Thale collapses over me, spent and sated. I stroke his sweat-slick back as we catch our breath, still joined together intimately. When he lifts his head to meet my gaze, the emotion shining in his forest green eyes steals mine.
"My Rina," he rasps fervently. "My everything."
Overwhelmed by the power of our bond, I can only answer by pulling him down into a tender kiss. No further words are needed.
We remain tied together, his massive knot ensuring I take every drop of his seed. I cling to Thale, overwhelmed by the intensity of our joining. Thale nuzzles into my hair, rumbling contentedly
Eventually, Thale's knot deflates enough for him to slip free. I feel the loss of connection like an ache in my soul. Sensing this, he gathers me close.
"Hush now, I am here," Thale soothes, raining gentle kisses over my face.
His tender devotion brings tears to my eyes. "I love you," I whisper fervently. "My true mate, my alpha.”
Thale's expression turns fierce. "And I you, dear one. More than the earth itself, you are my world entire."
After we've caught our breath, Thale begins pressing tender kisses over my face and throat. I sigh blissfully at the affectionate attention, running my fingers through his tousled hair.
Slowly his kisses trail lower, worshipping every inch of my body. He takes his time, determined to show me just how cherished I am. Thale's big hands caress my skin reverently as his mouth follows their path.
I lose myself in the sensuality of his unhurried exploration, awash in the love shining from his forest green eyes. My body comes alive everywhere his lips touch, craving more of this exquisite torment.
When he finally joins our bodies again, it's with gentle passion. We move together unrushed, simply savoring each gasp and sigh drawn from the other. The intensity of our emotional connection eclipse even the physical pleasure.
Afterwards we collapse in a tangle of sated limbs, trading tender kisses and whispers. My heart overflows with love for this complex, steadfast man who sees me as his entire world. I drift off curled against Thale's chest, his heartbeat strong beneath my cheek.
ChapterSeven
With Lucian’s help to swiftly transport us there, I take Fern's ancient bones from the safe and bring them to the Mountain Pack's magic wellspring. My four devoted mates accompany me, along with my best friend Ali, whose witchcraft will be needed for the ritual.
My hands tremble slightly as I hold the bundle of bones close to my chest, feeling their power and familiarity. So much sacrifice went into reaching this place. Now we must complete the final step—returning Fern's remains to the wellspring that put her soul in my body.
Ali helps me lay out the bones in a circle around the Mating Circle. Strange symbols glow to life beneath them at her murmured incantation. Together we kneel beside the makeshift altar.
"Are you ready?" Ali asks, squeezing my hand. I take a deep, steadying breath and nod. With her guidance, I begin the ritual chant, calling on the wellspring to receive its trapped spirit once more.
The very air seems to still around us as magic builds. Then I feel it—a familiar, beloved presence enfolding me. Fern's soul brushes mine like a bittersweet caress.
"Rina," her whisper fills my mind. "You've done it. You've brought me home."
