It was hard to fight my beast as he tried to take over, but I couldn’t let him recklessly shred my clothes during the transformation - I would prefer not to return to my parents’ home buck naked. Thankfully, I managed to hold him off long enough for me to undress, and Amaya did the same. A desire I had never felt before urged me to spy on her as she got rid of her clothes, but I held on to my control. I wanted to respect her privacy.

The sound of bones cracking was the cue for me to turn around. When I did, I found the most mesmerizing she-wolf standing where my mate had once been. Well, technically, she was my mate, too. Pepper had shiny auburn-red fur, which made her vivid blue eyes stand out even more. Her vixen stare got me feeling like I was her next meal, but when she lowered her short, round ears, I knew she was just eager to meet her mate. And suddenly, my strength wasn’t enough to keep Mint at bay anymore.

The second my blond wolf was freed, he bolted towards the female. If Pepper had been anxious to be with him a moment ago, she now didn’t think twice before running away from him, starting a play chase. The two kept playing for a good half anhour until he finally managed to catch up to her, immediately tackling her to the ground.

As we stood on top of our star, the atmosphere suddenly changed. As the wolves’ eyes locked for the first time, the innocence was replaced by something…raw. Like a small flame slowly growing, readying itself to devour an entire forest.

At the same time, we both shifted back without uttering a word.

Amaya and I had spent two nights together since we met each other, but we hadn’t…done it yet. I loved spooning with her, but this was the first time I was completely naked, and on top of her. The sensation of her warm skin against mine was better than anything I had ever experienced before. It was doing something to me. I was completely still, frozen by the tension in the air, yet part of me was moving.

Hardening.

“Amaya…” My chest expanded as I panted, pressing against her voluptuous breasts in a tantalizing way.

“Yes, Malin?” she breathed out, never breaking eye contact.

I don’t know if it was me or Mint, but the question I was dying to ask simply slipped out of my mouth.

“Can I have you?”

“Goddess. I thought you’d never ask!”

My Beta Female was quicker than me. She let her fingers tangle in my hair, applying pressure at the back of my head to force my lips against hers. Our kisses usually started slow, passionate. This one, though… It was the hottest we’d ever shared. Her hunger was evident in the way her tongue hastily explored my mouth, ripping lustful groans out of me.

As I felt her hands slowly slide down the back of my neck, then my bare back, I stiffened. I wanted to touch her, too. I wanted to feel her. However, my nerves made my stomach turn. What if I got too excited and made a wrong move? I didn’t wantto ruin our first time by making it awkward. My train of thought was broken when I felt her elongated canines scratch against my bottom lip, threatening to draw blood. A hiss escaped my lips, both from the anticipation, and from a crucial realization - she was so in control.

And I seemed to have run out of time.

“Is something wrong?” The concern in Amaya’s voice shattered me as she pulled away to look into my eyes again.

“No, not at all. It’s just…I’m a little nervous,” I confessed, hoping she wouldn’t think I was a fool.

“Wait.” She pressed her elbows against the grass for support, staring at me in bewilderment. “Have you never had sex before?” I shook my head. It was that obvious, wasn’t it? For a reason I couldn’t quite figure out at first, her face fell. “Oh, Goddess. Malin, I…I’m not a virgin anymore. I’m sorry.”

The shame staining her features didn’t sit right with me. Yes, the simple thought of her with another man made my wolf growl with jealousy, but to be honest, her confession didn’t come as a surprise to me. At 22, Amaya was four years older than me, and with how beautiful she was, I didn’t really expect her to have kept her virginity. Judging by her reaction, she probably thought I would be angry.

“You have nothing to apologize for,” I reassured her, brushing her cheek with the back of my hand.

“But you waited for me. I should have done the same for you.” She tried to look away, but I held her in place by holding her chin with my thumb and index finger.

“It’s a decision I made for me. I won’t judge you for what you did before we met, and I sure as hell won’t think less of you for it,” I told her sincerely. “You’re perfect for me, my star. You’re mine. Will you let me claim you?”

She took a moment to absorb my words. “Yes. Claim me,” she repeated right before I went back to tasting her.

The turn of events made me feel a little calmer, but part of me was still unsure of what to do. Mint was begging me to take control so he could show me how to please our mate, but if I did, I knew he would eat her like the wolf he was. I was planning to make love to her instead; even if I didn’t exactly know how.

To my relief, Amaya seemed to sense my struggle. She placed her hand above mine, and I supported myself with my other arm to let her to guide me. First, she led me to one of her breasts. Giving in to my deepest desires, I trusted my instinct and squeezed it lightly.

The realization of how she fit perfectly in my hand made my erection throb, pressing harder against her. In response, she lifted her hips, grinding into me softly. A sonorous groan reverberated in my throat as the beast inside of me awakened. As I kneaded her breast, I allowed myself to get familiar with her curves, her size, her texture. My fingers eventually found her hardened nipples, and I didn’t hesitate to pinch them, earning a moan from my mate.

“Is this how you like it, my star?”

“Fuck, yes!” she breathed against my lips.

A little more confident, I finally broke our kiss to trail kisses down her shoulders until I made it to her nipple. My lips replaced my fingers, sucking her hungrily. My hand traveled down her stomach, stopping at her entrance. I could already feel her arousal, but I had no idea how wet she was until I slid my thumb between her folds. Goddess, she was so ready for me. I couldn’t keep her waiting.

My body moved purely out of instinct as I used my legs to spread hers apart. She used her hands to help position me in front of her entrance. The butterflies in my stomach took flight again, making me hesitate, but the way Amaya pressed herself against me encouraged me to go on. The moment I filled her,inch by inch until she had taken in all of me, fireworks went off inside my chest.
