I am quickly falling in love with him, wanting to spend more and more time with him. My body craves him, begs for him to fill me with his massive cock and stretch me with the knot I know he has waiting especially for me. The mating bond isn’t making anything easier.
The pull that I know we already feel for each other simply amps up everything else we are feeling. Arousal, lust, affection, all of it multiplied and amplified to levels that I can’t even start to explain.
Working my way from the room I have been using, I search the house, looking for Silas. When I don’t find him after a while, I assume that he has gone to the office for a bit or is simply checking up on pack business. Making my way toward his bedroom, I just want to spend some time close to him, to be where his scent is the strongest.
I miss him.
Which is insane. I’ve barely known the man for a week, and already my heart is attached to him, my soul calls out to his, and I want to spend every moment with him.
Entering his room, I allow his scent to wash over me. The room is decorated with dark-stained wooden furniture. A thick rug is on the floor, and I scrunch my toes against the strands. His bed is a rumpled mess of sheets, pillows, and blankets in varying shades of gray.
Leaning down, I can’t help but inhale his earthy scent. It’s like a shot of heroin straight into my veins. My eyes roll back in my head, and I feel a rumble start deep in my chest. Falling into the heap of bedding, I rub myself in his scent, trying to get more of him on my skin even though he marked me with his cum just two hours ago.

“Talulla.”
I hear Silas’ voice, but it sounds far off. My body is hot and tight, my skin and muscles feel like they are too tight over my bones. I burrow deeper into the bedding, trying to find some comfort, any reprieve.
“Mate,” Silas says, placing his hand on my arm.
It feels like I’m on fire and frozen in ice simultaneously. His touch scalds my skin. And I take a swipe at him with elongated nails. This doesn’t seem right. I don’t want to hurt Silas. What the fuck is going on with me?
“I need you to listen to me,” he says softly, holding his hands up to show me he isn’t a threat. I know he isn’t. Why is everything so confusing? “You’re going into your heat. I hoped it would hold off until we were ready, but…”
My heat? This is because I’m no longer wearing my suppression patch.
His words trail off, and I try to focus on his features. He looks worried and a little sad. But that doesn’t make sense either.
“I need you to focus, Talulla. There are only two ways to do this. I leave, go to a cabin far away from here, and leave you to ride it out, hoping no other male breaks in to claim you as their own. Or you tell me you want me as your mate, and I help you through this. But if I help you, I will claim you, and you will be bound to me forever.”
“Silas,” I keen. “It hurts.”
“I know, baby. It hurts me too, but I promised you I wouldn’t take this choice from you.”
“Please,” I beg, my body thrashing. “I want you, Silas.”
“Are you sure?” His voice is low, and the bright ring of amber is blazing in his gaze.
“I need you.”
I don’t need to tell him twice before he has me wrapped in his arms, pulling me against his chest and pressing his lips against mine. His heat and scent seep into my body, and I finally feel some of the pain ebb away.
Chapter Twelve
Knotting and nesting
Silas Anderson
The moment I reached the outskirts of the pack compound, I could smell her arousal hanging in the air. My beast pushes at my skin, wanting to get to our mate before any other male can, but I keep him in check. Barely.
Reaching my house, I see that Waylon and a group of mated males have surrounded my place to keep the rest out. Affection and appreciation for my pack members bloom deep in my chest. They know how much Talulla means to me and that means that she is important to them as well. I don’t greet any of them as I stalk through my front door. My entire house is permeated with her scent and I know that she has gone into heat.
My heart breaks for her.
We have been working on getting closer and building the trust I know she so badly needs before she can accept our mating. But now she is in heat, and there are only two options. I let her ride it out in pain while I drag my ass far away from here, or she allows me to help her. But I won’t be able to fuck her without marking and claiming her, and I know she isn’t ready yet.
I follow her scent to where it is the strongest and find her in my bedroom. My knees nearly give out when I see the nest she has constructed from my bedding. This is all I have ever dreamed of since I can remember. I have always wanted to find my mate and give her the world.
