Page 12 of The Wolf Guard's Mate

I fucked her with abandon as I came with her, more beast than man as I slammed my release into her perfect little body.

Just as my movements slowed, Olive’s teeth brushed the place my neck met my shoulder.

My wolf shoved his way to the surface in the blink of an eye, shifting my teeth to fangs so quickly it hurt. Before I realized what was happening, my female’s blood was on my tongue—and I felt the pierce of her fangs in my skin afterward.

Electricity tore through me, and horror hit me like a tidal wave as my gaze jerked to the window, searching for the moon.

It wasn’t there.

It was in the sky far above us.

And it was full.

My wolf was rumbling in brutal satisfaction while Olive panted beneath me. My gaze went back to her, and lingered on the blood on her lips.

My blood.

On the woman I’d been obsessed with since the moment she came to town.

Because my wolf had just made her my mate—and hers had sealed the bond.

OLIVE

I closed my eyes,my hips arching as liquid heat seemed to trail from my chest to my core.

Hunter had pulled out far too soon and started pacing near the window. His cock was still hard, and I wasn’t entirely sure what was going on to be honest.

I’d always heard about wolves having a thing for biting, so it hadn’t really surprised me when mine pushed me to nip at Hunter’s shoulder after we screwed. Ithadsurprised me when he bit me hard enough to draw blood—and when my wolf took over and did the same to him.

The way Hunter ditched me in bed like hell was on his heels surprised me even more.

It took a few minutes, but I eventually remembered the way a few of the guys in the bar had joked about the full moon earlier that night. Then, everything suddenly made more sense.

Because exchanging a bite beneath the full moon created a mate bond.

A permanent one.

And we had done exactly that.

Which would definitely concern me… if I wasn’t currently going into heat.

Nova and Aspen had mentioned going into heat right after sealing their mate bonds at our girls’ night when my sister and her man had come back from their cabin. They’d been teasing Sydney about it, knowing she and Fletcher were trying to decide when to make their relationship permanent.

So yeah, I’d definitely freak out about the mate bond.

After I dealt with the intense need that was currently making it hard to think at all.

My hips arched again, and I finally slipped my hand between my thighs again. A moan of relief escaped me.

Hunter snarled near the window. “What the hell are you doing?”

Something told me we were done being playful.

“Burning up,” I whispered.

Realization dawned in his eyes. “Heat comes with the bond.”
