ReedReed sat in the driver’s seat, staring into the forest, processing everything Theron had confessed. They told him everything. About the dreams of his mate, that he had for over a year, only for them to stop as soon as Kamari came, The pull he couldn’t resist anymore when it came to her, of Kamari being from the Ostyn witch clan, and that now the Starlight squad knew he was with her because his scent was all over her. Well, that would explain why Olivia went ballistic.“But, I thought mates could only be other wolves. Even if she is a witch, that wouldn’t mean she can be your mate, would it?” My heart broke a little when Ther told me about him and Kamari. Thankfully, I had already started to back off from her. I think I subconsciously knew she was never meant for me and learned to back down.“I don’t know; we are both creatures of the night. Perhaps the moon Goddess has something up her sleeve. The mate bond hasn’t clicked into place yet, and there is still the scent from my dream
KamariI ran as fast as I could, but whoever or whatever was chasing me was gaining on me quickly. I put my arms out in front of me so I didn’t run into anything while running through the dense fog. I looked at my side, hoping the predator with crimson eyes was next to me, but I didn’t feel their presence; I hadn’t at all in this dream. I dodged a tree that had come out from the fog, quickly using it to cover me while I assessed my surroundings, leaning against the wet bark for support and looking around. I couldn’t see anything, only the white blanket of clouds surrounding the forest.Out of reflex, I closed my eyes and let my senses go, feeling the forest around me. Letting my ears do my seeing, I let go of the thought to control and let the earth give me what I needed to know. I heard footsteps behind me, nearly silent, but with the energy in the forest, I could feel them on the earth, too. Just as I was about to bolt, realizing they were right behind me, I felt a hand cover my mou
TheronGrowing up, the Cadre and I used to taunt each other to look in the Ostyn house window. We thought it was haunted or had spells cast into it. No one ever really came to this house; it was used every other decade when the Ostyn Priestess and her maidens would come for a meeting or ceremony. They stayed in it when the Priestess created the barrier around our town for safety. That was the last time this house was occupied for all I knew. We kept it vacant as a tribute to the witch clan, symbolizing they were always welcomed here. Never in a million years have I thought I would be sitting in the kitchen of this house, having a cup of coffee, while an Ostyn maiden was upstairs getting changed.An Ostyn maiden who also happens to hold my heart in the palm of her hand unknowingly. I looked around at the old kitchen; it had a gas stove and oven with a castiron kettle on one of the burners that looked like it was used daily. The layout was large and spacious, everything within perfect r
TheronI was nervous as we drove into the forest; I hadn’t ever taken anyone here before, to my secret place. But today would be a good day to show Kamari more of myself. As I stopped the truck and turned off the ignition, I turned and looked at her, really looking at this amazing human before me.“You’re so beautiful,” I said quietly, pulling a stray hair thread from her face and behind her ear. Her blush was visible on her cheeks, and I couldn’t help but lean in and kiss the warmth on her cheek.“It’s a little bit of a walk. Are you up for an adventure?” I asked, opening the door and holding my hand out to her, a silent offering.“Always.” was her only response as she took my hand and followed me. We walked into the forest silently. I held her hand the whole time, making sure to always keep some kind of contact with her. After about ten minutes of walking, we climbed up a small hill covered in rocks, then jumped down over a small cliff; I grabbed her waist to help her down, her hand
“I told you next time I wanted to taste you,” I said breathlessly, rubbing my nose up her matching lace panties, inhaling deeply before planting a kiss at the rosebud at the top. Her moan was my undoing. I bit at the lace, nudging the sensitive nerves with the tip with my nose. I looped my fingers around the top of the lace panties, sliding them down toward the leggings by her ankles. My eyes went molten at the sight of her, utterly bare for me. I spread her knees wide, the leggings acting as a bondage around her ankles. I pressed my hard-on against her core as I went up and kissed her lips deeply, plunging my tongue into her mouth, thrusting myself against the wetness I knew would be there. She moaned into my mouth, unleashing something in me. I dove down and, without warning, licked straight up her center, making her moan louder.“Kamari, you taste...” I couldn’t get enough. I licked her again and again, lapping up the taste of her sweet, sweet center. I stuck my tongue into her cor
KamariWe were quiet for a time, holding each other while listening to the water flow from the slight fall—the one from my dream. I hadn’t believed it at first. I looked around, hoping to find the predator, before turning to Theron, half expecting to see his eyes glow crimson. I only saw his surprised expression and felt this indescribable need to touch him, so strong it was impossible to resist. Touching him, feeling him, felt so right it tingled. My body began to heat up at his touch, and I lost all sense of control to myself.I needed to feel and connect to him; it was consuming. Even now, in our silent bliss, it felt like not enough. He quickly pulled on his pants and helped me with mine before needing to pull me back to him. He sat against a rock and held me against his chest, wrapping his arms around me and holding me while we gazed at the frozen scene before us, the lover’s waterfall I’d call it from here on out.“Kamari...was that your first experience?” He asked carefully beh
Kamari I drove the whole way home in Theron’s arms. As soon as we got in the truck again, we went straight for each other; I laid my head on his shoulder while his arm wrapped around me. It felt like neither of us wanted to be separated. We drove in peaceful silence; I decided to leave my question for another time, not wanting to disturb this feeling of being in his arms. When we returned to my place, Theron jumped out and held his hand out while I slid to get out on his side of the truck. He looked up at the house as if hearing something, smiling. I looked up at him and saw his knowing smile. “What?” Looking at him through narrowed eyes. He shook his head before throwing his arm around my shoulder, leading me to the house. “Nothing,” he said with a smirk, but I couldn’t help knowing he was hiding something. My mom opened the door before we could open it, Theron tensing when he saw her. I laughed to myself, realizing he was nervous about meeting my mom. My mom came out and gave me
TheronIt took the whole drive for me to find my senses again. The taste and closeness of Kamari's skin on mine was enough to drive me mad. The way her touches made my whole body tingle... I've never heard of a witch and werwolf mate bond, but somehow I knew she must be our mate. Hoku wanted to mark her right then, and there; he even forced our fangs out towards the end when I came. It felt so fucking good I could barely gain control and not mark her.Kamari still didn’t know I was a werewolf. What would she have done if I bit her neck, claiming her as ours? She would have freaked! I don’t think she saw the fangs; I was able to retract them in time. She did see my eyes, which she asked about, trying to change the subject of what she confessed to me. She didn’t have to explain; the answer lay in her lack of explanation. If I ever found the guy who hurt my mate, I would end him slowly, painfully, and with my bare hands.As for my secret, I wanted
