XERAPHINAI believed the mate bond would be unbreakable with Vaegon. That our mate bond was stronger than what I was feeling for Cassius. But my connection with Vaegon pales compared to what I share with Cassius. Now that our mate bond has healed, I can sense the immense contrast between being with a second chance mate and that of your destined, fated mate. It’s incomparable. Oh goddess! What the hell am I going to do now?!“We won’t die from rejecting one another now. We are going to be alright,” I whisper, staring into his heated captivating eyes, and still clinging on to Cassius, like my life depends on it.“Yes, darling. Nothing will ever come between us again.”Resting my head on his chest, I can hear the rhythmic thumping of his heart synchronized with mine. The sound is comforting and I wish we could stay like this forever.“Please don’t be upset with me, Cassius,” I whisper, tightening my grip on him as he stiffens. The weight of my promise to Vaegon hangs heavy in the air.“I
XERAPHINA Cassius chuckles and puts his fingers through my hair, smiling ear to ear at me. “If it means that much to you. Then yes. You can come with me.”“If she starts anything, I’ll put her in her place. I have some words for that little wench.”“Yeah. I know what you mean. I have much to get off my chest as well. But I want everything to stay civil. So we can all part ways and be done with this whole situation. You are right, though. She’s going to throw an all out fit over me selling the mansion for only seventy-five thousand dollars. But, like I said; I would just hand it over to Trevor for nothing if I could.”“I get your point, Cassius. You don’t want any drama. You just want to get everything over and done with,” I say, rubbing against his erection that strains for release inside his pants.Oh, goddess, I want him so badly right now. “But I’m gonna give her a piece of my mind. No matter what. She used you, Cassius. My mom thinks Charity has known who her mate was this whole
XERAPHINAIn a cautious manner, we tip-toe through the silent pack house, finding our way into my bedroom and closing the door, making sure the knob produces minimal noise. Thank goodness all the rooms within the pack house are sound proof. I can understand now why my father wanted me to leave my door open when Vaegon was here. We still wound up doing things we shouldn’t have done anyway, though. So it’s whatever I guess. It’s a good thing Cassius was on his way to my room when I shifted. Otherwise no one would have heard me and I couldn’t have been able to link with anyone yet. My first shift into my wolf Xariah would have been an utter disaster if it weren’t for Cassius. I shouldn’t have Cassius here with me now. But I promised my dad I wouldn’t have sex with Vaegon. No one said anything about Cassius. So in a way, I’m keeping my promise.“I’m sure the party ended a while ago. Newfound mates went off to have alone-time together,” I say, giggling as Cassius pulls me towards him, bru
XERAPHINA “I’ll do my best to keep control, but Talon is already clawing at the bit to take over. So I don’t know. If he takes over when we’re in the middle of mating, I don’t know what will happen, or if I’ll be able to hold him back. We’ve waited seven years for you, Xeraphina,” he finishes, shrugging his shoulders and sighing in defeat as he shakes his head.Xariah yips and growls in annoyance. ‘Xeraphina, we are not in heat. So it doesn’t matter. We can’t get pregnant right now, even if we wanted to. Normal female wolf shifters normally don’t go into heat for a month after connecting with their fated mate. We are good for a long while. Believe me when I say you’ll know when we are in heat. You will have mood swings, run a high temperature, amongst other things, but we can get into that later. We need to mate with our fated mate. The sooner the better. We’ll both feel better afterwards. It’s what normal mates do.’‘Cassius and I are anything but normal, Xariah. But I understand wh
CASSIUSThe moment I have been waiting forever for has arrived. I am about to mark and mate my fated mate. The woman I have loved my entire life and consider my best friend, even above Xeraphina's brother Xachariah. From this moment on, we will spend the rest of our lives together. If fortune favors us, our lifetime will extend well into our three-hundred-year mark, the average lifespan of a wolf-shifter. I have yearned for Xeraphina for so long, and now that she has reached the age of eighteen, she is mine. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think Xeraphina and I would make it to this point. But now that the moment has arrived, I’m overwhelmed with excitement.“I need to taste you and make you come first, before we mate. So the initial pain when I enter you won’t be so harsh. It would crush me if I hurt you, my heart,” I whisper as I envelop a puckered nipple with my lips, humming and teasing it with my tongue, heightening its sensitivity. With my free hand, I caress her other bre
CASSIUS“You are right,” Xeraphina says, her lips rising in a half smile that could not pass as a smile. “I still want you to stay the night with me, though. Also, I want to help you out, since you gave me such intense pleasure,” she says, rising and walking on her hands and knees towards me. “Don’t leave me. You need release and I want to help you,” she says, fisting my cock in her hands and nibbling at her bottom lip.‘If you don’t let our mate pleasure us, I won’t allow you to shift, until you get your shit together,’ Talon curses, then growls, baring his teeth within our shared consciousness.The craving to have her lips on my cock is consuming. Here’s my chance to give her a first for me. She could be the first woman to have ever given me a blow job. It’s the closest thing to sex, and since we can’t fuck, I might as well let her have this chance.Xeraphina licks her lips and hums as she glances back and forth between me and my cock. “Will you let me…” she hesitates, nibbling her
VAEGONTonight and meeting my soulmate for the first time has been mind-blowing. I’ve never been so infatuated with anyone in my life. Yeah, I’ve been horny and have lusted after girls. When I was in high school, my hormones were going crazy, just like any normal teenager. Oh man, those hormones were nuts when I first shifted, and Vane was always on the prowl for our mate. Sometimes I was like, screw it. I kept telling myself I would just hook up with the girls who were always around to satisfy my sexual needs. But I never ended up fucking any of them. Every time that thought crossed my mind, I would haul ass home and jerk off.My sisters have taught me many lessons about how a man is to treat their fated mate. I am grateful for their guidance and wisdom in matters of the heart. Xeraphina is irreplaceable, so waiting for my soulmate was the right choice. With my mother and sisters’ support, I have become a gentleman ready to spoil my soulmate. While guys may not always appreciate roma
VAEGON As Xeraphina and I climb into her truck, a surge of anxiety floods through my body, tightening my chest and quickening my heartbeat. The metallic scent of the engine fills the air as Xeraphina revs it up, the roar of the powerful machine echoing in my ears. The weight of impending loss hangs heavy in the truck, intensifying the bitter taste of desperation in my mouth. Cassius, that vile asshole, threatens to snatch Xeraphina away from me, and I won’t let that happen.“Xeraphina, I know you told me I have nothing to worry about. But please don’t go to Cassius. Stay with me tonight. The lodge’s beds are so comfortable. I promise to let you sleep. I won’t touch you beyond cuddling you.”“If it weren’t because I promised Cassius I would go to him, I would stay with you, Vaegon. It’s best I go see what’s gotten him all riled up. He said it was important, and he seemed anxious. I need to make sure he’s okay and not on the verge of committing suicide or something. Cassius hurt me, bu
