Chuckling, I smacked his arm.
“Bite me…” he repeated, making my stomach dip with longing.
The tip of my tongue licked his neck, and my eyes closed with the taste of him before my mouth pressed against it, kissing the spot right on the curve. Every muscle in Dante’s body tensed in anticipation, a second before my four canines pierced his skin.
His fingers curled into my hips fiercely, and a drawn-out moan erupted from his lips, the sensations ignited by my bite making him harden under me.
I only stopped when I drew blood.
“Mine,” I declared against his ear before pulling back and sitting up on top of him. My heart thundered in my ears from the overwhelming feelings rushing through me.
Dante’s eyes tried to open a couple of times while he panted, his chest quivering under my hands, causing my wolf and I to rejoice in the effect our bite had left on him.
“Holy fucking shit,” he croaked, finally pulling his eyes wide open before swallowing. “I had no idea a wolf claim could be so powerful.” His gaze found my face and he sat up too, cradling my cheeks before he kissed me.
He wasn’t wrong, my muscles trembled with the rush crashing through me as I glanced back at him.
The passion our kiss unleashed after being fully bonded this way was unlike anything we had shared so far, and it captured every inch of me.
“Make love to me,” I asked while our breaths mixed, his lips stretching into a sensual smirk.
“As you wish… but first, I have a gift for you.”
“A gift?” Excitement instantly rushed through me.
“Close your eyes.”
His shadows brushed my naked skin when I did as he asked, engulfing me whole. Suddenly, I was no longer in the bed with him…
I was in hisTwilight.
The most beautiful night sky surrounded me at every turn—above, below, and at either side of me. Shimmering clouds of stardust drifted above my head and between my feet, while tiny twinkling stars danced along my skin.
There was no beginning and no end. Only the eternal night of theTwilight.
A chilled breeze caressed my body, the skirt of my white dress billowing along my legs just as a brilliant starburst appeared across from me. I expected to see Dante, dressed in white, coming to share his darkness with me, but what materialized before me as the brilliance receded was someone I never expected to see.
The gorgeous white wolf stood proudly before me, the hairs of her lush and thick coat dancing with the breeze too. Power exuded from every inch of her graceful yet commanding presence, asserting her place in the cosmos.
It was my wolf.
Emotion rushed through me as I began to walk, seeing her stride toward me too. I almost fell to my knees the second we reached each other, but on all fours, she was still taller than I was. I lifted a hand to her full mane, wishing more than anything that I could feel her. Her eyes closed when my fingers miraculously slipped through the soft locks of her coat and tears instantly escaped me.
I could truly feel her.
“I’m Starlight,”she announced, and my arms wrapped around her fiercely.
“Hi, Starlight.”
She nuzzled my cheek, as though to return my hug, and the most powerful feeling of love I had ever experienced flowed from her and into me, overwhelming me. Starlight’s affection for me erased any pain or sorrow I had ever felt without her.
Much like theTwilight,her love for me was eternal… and so was mine.
“You have never been alone, Natasha,”she swore, making me lean away to look into her eyes. The entire cosmos shone inside them as Dante’s did during the night, so I knew it was only the effect of his magic, but I didn’t care.
“I love you, Starlight,”I whispered.
“I love you too…”
