With a slight shake of his head, Ellister gives me a tight smile. “Do not fear. This is the mate bond solidifying.”

“I thought we wouldn’t have a real bond?” I ask, confused.

Ellister’s grin gets wider. “Neither did I, but I think my soul is coming back to me. Somehow, some way, it’s coming back.”

ELLISTER

My soul. My spirit. The very essence of my being—I feel it click into place while I’m still buried deep inside Hannah’s cunt. I’m stretching her to the limit as my cock pulses with a few aftershocks, emptying every drop of my seed into her snug channel.

I’m not sure which is better, the orgasm or the returning of my soul. Having both happen at the same time is certainly unlike anything I’ve ever felt before.

And not only is my soul back, but it’s clean and untainted. It’s as pure as it was the day I was born, before I could ever fathom telling a lie or breaking a promise.

It’s been renewed.

I’d heard finding your mate leads to soul restoration; each half of the whole comes together to make something new.

I just never considered it a possibility for me because I thought my soul was out of reach forever.

For the first time since my early years, I’m fulfilled on every level.

Body, mind, and spirit are aligned perfectly. My cock is spent, my belly is full of Hannah’s blood, and the joy I feel is indescribable.

As Hannah pants against my lips, I sense her physical satisfaction and her happiness through our tether.

We’re as connected as mates should be.

Breathing hard and sweaty, I bask in the moment, placing lazy kisses on her mouth.

“Ellister,” she says with wonder, touching my cheek. “I can feel you inside me. Notinside me, inside me. In my heart. We’re-we’re…”

“Bonded,” I finish for her, unable to stop smiling. “Like true mates.”

“But you said—”

“I know. I thought my soul was gone for good. Vaeront told me there was no way for me to ever get it from him, but he lied. That bastard… That’s why he was so opposed to us being together in the Lost Land. He knew if we completed the bond, my soul would be wiped clean and returned to me. He’d no longer own me becauseyoudo.”

“That sketchy asshole,” Hannah fumes.

I grin warmly at her ire. “Doesn’t matter now, darling. We’ve won.”

Unfortunately, I don’t have time to celebrate the monumental moment.

Another side effect of completing the mate bond is extremely heightened power, and a vortex starts forming before I can even think about trying to stop it.

Hannah sees the air swirling behind me and mirrors the panicked look on my face. “Ellister?”

“My power will be temporarily amplified,” I explain quickly, slipping my cock out of her wet heat to grab my pants.

Wherever I’m going, I’m not doing it naked. I stab one leg in at a time, the vortex growing behind me, creating wind in the small bedroom. The curtains rustle about, and some papers on the little work desk fly to the floor.

“Amplified, like you can’t stop it?” Hannah asks, her voice high and tight as she realizes I’m going to be taken from her.

I rack my brain for knowledge about fated mate bonds, but it’s murky. Damn it. I should’ve paid more attention to this shit.

“I think it should only last for twelve hours or so,” I tell her. “But I’m afraid I’m going to be making a few jumps, whether I want to or not. Honestly, it feels similar to Glow ingestion.”

“I’m coming with you,” Hannah firmly states, swinging her legs off the mattress like she’s ready to throw herself into the vortex with me.
