She tilted her hips and sucked on hisbottom lip, and he grinned. He pulled from her body and slowlypressed in, loving the way she felt in his arms. He kissed heragain and began to move, thrusting into her with increasing speeduntil she wrenched from his lips with a moan, her nails scrapingdown his back. They moved together like they’d done a hundred timesin their dreams, but it was a thousand times better because it wasreal. Nothing was as good as Trinity sprawled out under him, herbody tightening as he drove them both to the height ofpassion.
Her hands gripped his shoulders andshe met his thrusts, tilting her hips and changing the angle oftheir bodies, until every drive into her made her pussy grip himtight. He surged forward, bracing himself against the rough wallwith one hand as he fucked her hard and fast. She cried out aspassion overtook her, her pussy locking down on him.
His whole body reacted to the sight ofher bliss. His fangs throbbed in his gums, and he wanted so badlyto bite her, but he pushed the thought from his head and let goinstead, following her into bliss and howling his pleasure to theceiling.
They held each other tightly as heatand passion washed over them, catching their breaths, coming downfrom the heavens and landing right where they were destined toalways end up—in each other’s arms. Wrath dropped to the bed with acontented groan and pulled her against him. She shivered, and hereached for the blankets that had been shoved aside during thethroes of passion and covered her. They lay in silence for a fewmoments, and then she wiggled around to face him and snuggle intohis embrace.
He kissed her forehead and closed hiseyes, thanking his lucky stars she was in his arms.
“I thought you might biteme,” she said with a rough voice.
“I wanted to, trust me,” hesaid. “But it’s important for my wolf that we do things properly.The pack would understand if we didn’t wait, but it’s important tothem, too. This is a new chapter for our pack.”
“Because of me?” She tippedher face up to look at him.
“Yes. Because for the firsttime, the alpha’s found his true mate before he turnedthirty.”
“I wish there wasn’t aticking clock for wolves to find their true mates. It’s scary tothink that if Isolde hadn’t decided to cast a spell for your truemate, that you and I might never have found each other in reallife.”
He tucked a lock of her hair behindher ear. “I don’t even want to think about how things might havestayed the same for us if she hadn’t interfered. You might have hadto watch Cael put me down in a couple years.”
She squeezed her eyes shut and huggedhim tightly. “That would have destroyed me.”
He inhaled her sweet scent, and hiswolf made a happy humming sound.
Her hold relaxed a little, and shenuzzled his throat. “Are you okay now?”
“What do youmean?”
She leaned back enough to look intohis eyes. “We’re not fully mated. Are you still feeling bloodlust?”
“My wolf is content withyou in our arms and knowing that we’ll be mating on the full moon.I think the blood lust calmed the moment you were in my bed and themating tattoos appeared. I felt different when I wokeup.”
“Good. If you were feelingcrazed, I’d hate for you to struggle because we’re waiting to bemated officially until the full moon.”
He cupped her shoulder, his fingersspanning the tattoo. “You know we’re technically mated, right? Thetattoo is binding on its own. You and I are mates, and the factthat we just blew each other’s minds is icing on the cake. I don’thave to bite you to calm the blood lust or bind you to me. You’realready mine. The tattoo is proof.”
“You know what else isproof?”
“What,sweetheart?”
“I feel so close to younow. I loved you before I came here. I mean, how could I not? We’vebeen dreaming about each other for twelve years. But I love youtruly now. All the way to the center of my being.”
His wolf wanted to howl. “I love you,too. You’re everything to me, Trinity.”
She covered her mouth as she yawnedand gave him a sleepy smile.
“Tired, love?” he asked,brushing his lips over hers.
“I’m a little afraid tosleep, honestly.”
“Oh?” he asked.
“What if something goeswrong and I wind up back in my world?”
“That’s not going tohappen. Isolde said you’re here for seven days. She wouldn’t lie,she has no reason to.” He kissed her again and let out a littlegrowl. “You’re not going anywhere, and neither am I. You’re mineand I’m yours, and nothing in your world or mine is going to changethat.” He’d never been surer of anything in his life. Trinity wasin his arms, and she was going to stay there. Forever.
She let out a deep sigh and nodded.“Thank you for being so sweet and kind to me.”
“How else would I be,Trinity? You’re my true mate. The other half of my soul. Nothingelse is as important to me as your happiness andsafety.”
“I’m definitely happiestwith you.”
She drifted to sleep, her breathingslowing and evening out. Wrath had never witnessed anything sosignificant as his true mate falling asleep in his arms. Shetrusted him, loved him, and he was humbled.
And damn happy.
While he was exhausted, he could hearhis pack milling around in the gathering room, and he knew theywere waiting to talk to him. He pressed a light kiss to Trinity’sforehead, then he slipped from the bed, donning trousers andhurrying to meet with them.
The gathering room was the first roominside the mile-long tunnel underground, which ended in a cavernused for storage. From the gathering room to the storage room,there were eight natural caverns that included the
