I smiled, my heart warming with his words. I was glad he could smile now, after everything. I was glad he’d found solace in something, a peace.
I didn’t want that taken away from him. The mating mark was bullshit and unfair of the fates to bestow, to threaten. He deserved happiness, and he wanted it with me as much as I did.
Why could it not be enough?
He sighed and looked over the sky again. “The fates, the witches, whoever decide our path have a plan, Little Human, but if it doesn’t include you, I will not follow it,”
he vowed.
“I know, Kai,” I whispered. “I’ll walk into hell with you if that is what it takes.”
His lips crashed on mine. I mirrored his passion, everything fading away as my core tightened, my thighs growing hot with pressure.
Kai slid my straps from my shoulders, his fingers gentle, caressing my skin as I sighed against the touch.
I burned beneath his fingertips, my mind swirling with a fierce desire as he adjusted me on his lap. I moved with him, parting my thighs, straddling him, his kiss demanding, his hands urgent as he tore at the rest of my gown.
It fell from my body, pooling at my waist over my swollen stomach, the cold air and my hot blood making my nipples harden against him.
He filled his hand with the flesh of my breast, and I sucked in a breath, my teeth nipping at his bottom lip before I met his kiss, my tiny moans and sighs filling the peaceful night.
“You know you deserved more than they gave you, don’t you, Kai? Your loyalty should not have been punished,” I whispered against him as he kissed over my chest, his lips closing over my peak.
My breath hitched, and my fingers dug into his hair.
“It’s the world we live in, Little Human. Loyalty is punished. My loyalty to the pack was, and my loyalty to you has been,” he breathed back, and I kissed away his words, refusing to agree with them.
We couldn’t let that happen. I couldn’t handle him belonging to someone else.
That fucking mark was nothing, it was nothing compared to what we had, and I wasn’t going to let some magical force take him away from me or decide he couldn’t love me anymore.
I was a magical force too, and I’d use every last drop of it trying to figure out how to stop him from mating.
He groaned against me, his lips everywhere, his face nuzzling into my neck as I rubbed myself against the hard ridge of his cock between my thighs.
“I need you,” he breathed harshly, his eyes fierce with desire.
I nodded and sat up so he could pull himself free of his shorts. I wrapped my arm around his neck as he positioned himself at my entrance, his hand guiding my hips before I sank onto him.
I gasped as he sucked in a breath. My body took him in slowly as I lowered myself, stretching to fit his length inside. My pussy clutched him tightly until he was entirely sheathed within me.
I started moving, riding him slow, lifting myself almost completely off him before sinking back down. He groaned loudly and met me each time with a luxurious stroke.
My head fell back as his hand cupped my breast, his mouth teasing the nipple until my pace quickened, the fire inside me burning brighter.
I moaned as I fucked him, claiming his as mine, a promise not to abandon him like his family had. I would get us out of this. I had to.
I shuddered against him, my breasts his meal as my pussy fucked him. He felt so good inside me, filling me with every glorious inch of him.
My body was full, my heart was full as I held him to me, his mouth leaving kisses and marks over my pale skin. His fingers dug into my hips, holding me steady as I used his shoulders as leverage.
Pleasure radiated through me, and I moaned as he moved against me, pushing into me harder so his thick tip hit the spot inside me that made my entire body shake.
My nails dug into him and I rode him harder, picking up my pace, the chair scratching against the balcony, the squeaking making me move faster.
I gripped the back of it, my knuckles white, my entire body tight with tension as I moaned against the kiss he yanked my face into.
His tongue slid against mine, his arm around the arch in my back, his other hand guiding my hips onto him with every fierce thrust he met my body with.
I thought I was going to collapse, my thighs burning either side of his, I thought that my breaths would cease to exist the longer he drove into me, but he gave me more.
More of himself, more pleasure, more intensity.
He fucked me, hard and dangerous until I was coming apart at the seams, the pleasure having nowhere else to go.
I exploded around his cock, my orgasm ripping me apart, my pussy clamping down on him as he stroked it with furious pumps until he swelled inside me and his own release claimed him.
I cried out as he did, his desperate thrusts chasing the tail of my orgasm, his feral growl ripping through the silence until he stilled in me and I was finally able to climb down from the high he had given me.
I sagged against him, my body sticky with sweat, my breaths harsh in the night as they matched his. He ran his fingers over my bare back, squeezing my ass lightly as he sighed.
I looked up at him, his eyes staring back at me. I held the side of his face, and he turned to kiss it.
“You make it all better, Little Human. The darkness doesn’t seem as terrifying when you’re there with me,” he whispered, and I smiled.
“I’ll always find you in the dark, Kai.”
“Good. I won’t survive there without you.” He kissed my hand again before I leaned against his chest.
I traced the lines of his tattoo and kissed his pec. “You don’t have to.”
And I knew it was a promise I was going to have to fight to keep. That the mating brand could make it a lie, but I was going to fight it, I was going to find any way to stop it from happening.
I had to see Tabitha and talk to Cain, but Kai wasn’t getting taken from me. I needed him and he needed me. I was going to make sure he had me.
He pressed his lips on my head, his cock still half-swollen inside me.
“You are my mate, Little Human. I don’t care what brand I have.
“I know what it feels like inside when the idea of losing you strikes my mind, and I know how I feel when you walk into the room. That is not a mere love connection.
“Whatever the fates think they are doing, I will change their minds. You are my mate. I will die by those words.”
My heart filled with hope at those words. I wanted them to be true so fucking badly.
“You’re not dying, Kai, not while I’m alive to do something about it.”
He snuggled me closer, and I closed my eyes against him.
“I’m not scared of dying. I’m scared of becoming the monster my pack made me when those vampires get through that border. I don’t think you could be mine if that’s who I have to become to protect you,” he admitted.
I sat back on his lap, frowning at him, reading how much he believed those words. I shook my head defiantly.
“We grew up hearing of the savages and beasts. I wasn’t scared of you when I believed those stories, and I’m not scared of you now.
“Your past isn’t who you are, Kai. Your family may have abandoned you, but I will not. You are mine as much as I am yours and that won’t change, especially if becoming that monster is done to protect us.
“We’re your family now and I promise you, we are here for you. All versions of you,” I promised, leaning in to steal the protest from his lips with a searing kiss.
Footsteps on the balcony had me breaking from him, covering my chest as I looked up at the interruption. It was Derik though, and my arms fell away.
Derik had pulled on his pants, the strings still undone, his face serious.
“She’s right, brother, we won’t leave you to face those demons on your own. We’ll be right there with you,” he said, and Kai swallowed hard, his throat bobbing before he nodded.
Derik’s hand went to his shoulder. “Vampires or not, we’ll come out of this,” he said, and I latched on to Derik’s optimism.
I let it fill me as wholly as Kai’s cum had and closed my eyes against my alpha.
I needed to believe there was a happily ever after, I needed to believe there was a way out where no one I loved got hurt and the humans survived my father.
If I lost sight of that hope, then there was nothing left but despair. I could handle anything but that.
15. The Respect
BRAX
I ran so fast, my paws hitting the soft ground as I ran around the perimeter of our city, my claws hitting the edge of the water that lapped at the edges.
It had been an entire week since I’d been able to shift, the healing taking way too long, but I knew that was because Cain had to save enough magic for Spitfire and the baby, so I wasn’t complaining.
But it had been rough.
My tongue hung outside my mouth as I grinned, pushing my refreshed body farther, the wind pushing back my coat as I barreled past the gates and into the city.
