Roman's pov. A howl escapes my lips as the mate bond flares to life and Fenrir turns immediately, bursting into a run and back towards the packhouse. The wind snaps at my fur and my gums grow heavy with desire. My fangs itch to sink them into her neck, and as the night sky illuminates my path with silver light, the decison settles into my heart. If she asks me to mark her, i will. No more waiting. She’s mine. I know my love for her is true. I do not have to doubt it, and i know her love for me is true too. Our actions have made that clear. Our mate bond hums with life and with a leap, Fenrir burts out of the trees. The packhouse beams like a beacon in the distance. The pouding of his paws against the earth fills my ears. The rushing of the wind as we cut through the space resonates with the beat of my heart. I shift once Fenrir’s paws hit gravel, and my body is a flash as i hunt for my mate. I find her in my room. Candles cast a soft glow to the darkness around us and the
Scarlett's pov Roman moves and it’s like all my nerve endings are on fire. His dick is so large, so full and so heavy in me, i feel full to bursting. My walls stretch and pulse around him to accomodate both his witdth and his length. “Fuuck!” Roman’s deep throaty mind moan has tears stinging my eyes. He draws back out, and pauses. I can hear the sound of my delictae pink walls hugging that large enormous dick. My head lolls to the side at the amount of pleasure coursing through me, and Roman slams back in, burying himself to the hilt and going balls deep. A loud throaty moan escapes my lips and it travels the line of a moan and a half scream. Every bit of skin on my body feels alive. Every bit of flesh on my body hums with plesasure. Roman’s mark on my neck burns and i feel the intricate markings of the mate bond working itself into the both of us. He licks the punctured flesh, my blood on his tongue. “Say you want me hard and rough, Scarlett. Tell me you want me to fuck you
“I want to go find Alpha Roman mummy. I want to hear what he thinks about my dress.” I smile as i watch Maya go off and that warm feeling surges through me again. Today is the day. For the past three days, Roman and i have been in close distance of each other. I told him what happened with Danis, and of my encounter with Hunter. I told him everything Hunter said and i lay it out before him - The fact that i just out his pack into more danger by telling him to mark me and crossing that last step into becoming official mates. He told me it was his pleasure to mark me. He wanted to, right from the moment i showed him how much i would do to keep my daughter and those i love safe. Roman said if any danger is to come, the Ironclaw pack stands behind me firmly. He, stands beside me. Until the end. A knock comes at the door and my head snaps to it’s direction. Myrtle doesn’t wait for me to tell her to come in before doing so. Roman released her so she can take care of her grandniec
Scarlett's pov.Chapter 170: Scarlett’s pov.“Scarlett.”Tap tap tap.“Scarlett?”My eyelids flutter open and confusion clouds the recesses of my brain. I blink slowly, and repeatedly.What…. What happened?My eyes travel from the blinding lights in front of me to the side to meet the face of my mate. I know he’s there.I already know he’s concerned for me because I can feel that concern. I feel it like it’s my own and when I meet Roman’s icy blue eyes, my head clears for a second.Weren’t we in front of the Alpha Council a second ago? Panic flares in me and iI bolt up immediately. Stars dance behind my closed eyelids and my vision tilts. It’s like someone turned the world upside down and my hea…Roman’s hand on my shoulder stills me. The world stops and all that panic melts away.My mate pulls me to himself though I can barely make any sense of this situation, and he holds me like that for a while. He whispers words against my ears and he tells me “Breathe, Scarlett.”My heart sends
Roman's pov. “We’re going to let you keep the female and her child.” Scarlett is inconsolable. Erasmus and the other elders of the high council stare at me from their seats with rock-hard faces. There’s not a shred of pity in their eyes. This is how our world is. They were exceptional Alphas in their prime, and now that they’ve grown old they sit at the pinnacle of power. Elders of the Alpha council, and the final voices on what happens in my life and in the life of my mate. “What changed?” I feel my father’s aura prickle me lightly as he stills but Fenrir snarls and rage burns in my heart. Slow and steady. I raise my eyes to look at them, each face aged and weathered face but still brimming with the youth werewolf genes and biology grant them. I stare each elder of the council down, and I ask the question I’ve wanted to ask since they began beating my mate down with their snide laidback remarks. “Was the council really going to order me to return my mate and child to a man
Scarlett's pov.Roman bursts into the room and his scent grounds me in a way I’ve never felt before. Tears are still streaming down my cheeks.My hand still trembles as I cradle my daughter to my chest and there are half a million things I can think to do at this moment, yet I can’t do any of them. I hold Maya so close to me I feel I might be squishing her a bit, then she grumbles in that way of hers…. Like a disgruntled little cat and she murmurs into the crook of my neck.“You’re squishing me like a marshmallow, mummy.”I laugh.The laughter bubbles up right from my heart and it forces more tears out of my eyes, but my baby’s okay. My baby’s fine and hells…“Are you okay, Maya?”Roman crouches and speaks so softly to her I have to stifle my sobs just so I can watch them interact. Maya peeks up to look at him and she gives a small shrug in my arms.“I’m a bit hungry, but I’m fine.”My heart melts when Roman reaches out to cup the curve of her cheek in his palm, and Maya leans into hi
I leave the conjoined hotel of the hall the Alpha conference is being held in with my mate holding one of my hands, and my daughter holding the other. The red diamonds gleam on my finger and Maya can’t stop talking about how the main one is so large and so pretty and now she wants one. I laugh so hard, and so loud, my body can tell that my happiness is full. Those around me can tell it too because I receive looks as we walk out. Looks of scorn from some men and women when they see me hand in hand with my mate and my daughter, and looks of mild happiness and smiles from others. Even they can’t tell what’s happened and how I have managed to do this, but they know I have. They know the Alpha council has allowed me to walk away with my second chance mate and daughter intact. It goes against tradition. It goes against werewolf laws. It goes against all the punishment I should have gotten for thinking I could eat my cake and have it, but that isn’t what happened here. I suffered in m
Scarlett’s pov. A chuckle escapes my lips as I grind lightly against Roman. He chortles, his laughter stuck in his chest and escaping in comical rough squeaks and that just makes me laugh even more. “You know you’re about as hard as a rock right now, don’t you Alpha Roman?” Roman buries his face into the crook of my neck and he chuckles deeply, happiness seeping through our mate bond as it mixes in with his desire. That desire courses so heavily between us that I can barely think straight right now but in between that desire is happiness. I mean look at us. We’re in a very tight storage room, kissing each other silly and groping every inch of flesh we can grope simply because we want to and we can. Roman’s voice is rumbling and soft as he whispers into my ears, “You have undone all my office protocols at this point, Scarlett… and I couldn't be happier.” A sly smile slips onto my lips and quirks at an unusual angle. I whisper my husked words through the mind link and I feel Rom
