Shit.

My hips lifted, letting her push my pants down, and she pulled off her silky slip over her head. Her bi-color eyes darkened with desire when she gripped my ass, pushing me down against her until our laps flushed together and she got exactly what she wanted.

Our future flashed before my eyes in that moment. That was exactly how our life would go, with her getting everything she craved.

The delicious feel of her ready-for-me skin reached me, and pleasure shot through my groin. She was so fucking drenched it was a dream.

Her perfectly perky breasts squeezed against my chest with my weight—her puckered nipples teasing me—and I took along, settling breath, willing myself to stay in control. It wasn’t difficult now that she was in my arms, but I was a beast, after all.

Not to mention that just like Starlight, my wolf was always getting ideas.

“Thank you,” Natalia breathed before settling under me.

Relief visibly spread through her being with the intimate contact of our bodies, confessing how much she really needed me.

“No funny business,” I warned, turning our bodies on the bed so I could hold her fully in my embrace.

A mischievous light illuminated her eyes, but we relaxed into each other’s arms, kissing again, all while the feeling of her hand caressing my tattoo began to lull me. Perhaps I would be able to sleep tonight…

And then she gasped.

“What is it?”

“Look!”

My gaze focused on her eyes; they were glowing blue… No. Her face was glowing blue.

“It’s your arm,” she whispered, pulling my eyes to the bond tattoo. Its lines seemed to become alight every time she stroked it.

I watched, awed as her nail dragged down my bicep, the outline of the tattoo glowing with her touch, especially once it reached her wolf. When her hand left me, the light receded, as though it became dormant, but it immediately returned when her fingertip continued its trail.

It was as though its mating power was already inside of me and was just reacting to her touch.

“Did this ever happen with the guys?” I already knew the answer, but I had to ask.

She shook her head. “Their tattoos only glowed after we mated fully.”

Her confession left me speechless. What exactly did this mean?

“Your tattoo also glows when you are a wolf…”Starlight reminded me, and the image of me as the white wolf flared to life in my mind’s eye.

I swallowed hard with the realization. She was right. My tattoo had always glowed in my wolf form. From the very start.

Natalia cupped my face, silently calling my gaze back to hers. “Do you still think my mom didn’t see you coming?”

A smile beamed onto her lips, and she lifted her head, claiming my mouth.

Our next training was very different.

Natalia had asked me and our mates to meet her in the clearing, and when we arrived, I noticed we weren’t the only ones present.

Alyce and Vanessa were there, but so were Gustav and Zelin.

“Glad you all could make it,” our mate announced entering the clearing after us. “I need all the help I can get.”

“We are happy to help you spar, but you honestly have more than enough skilled partners to help you already,” my twin sister pointed out, seeing Zelin and Gustav nod.
