“Let’s have a quick conversation. I figured Mac wouldn’t adequately prepare you for what’s about to happen, and once I became mated to Kal, it seems to fall on my shoulders.”

“Ahh, Keeley, we’ve had sex already,” Aurora said, grateful it was dark outside, and the other woman couldn’t see her embarrassment.

“He’s knotted you then?” Keeley prodded.

Heat filled her cheeks. “Yes, this morning.”

Keeley chuckled. “Well, then, you’re ahead of the game. Most mates get a crash course from me or Danielle before the big night.” She led Aurora over to the massive bonfire in the backyard, illuminating the area. “Do you have any questions?”

Tons, most of them, though, she didn’t think Keeley could answer for her, except maybe one. “He won’t, you know, havesexwithmeinwolfform, will he?”

Keeley slowly turned her head. The look on her face would have made Aurora laugh at any other time, but right now, not so much. It was a look between humor and confusion along with horror, but not. It was hard to explain. “Uh, no.”

“Oh, thank you,” Aurora said on a sigh.

Keeley laughed then. “So, here is the long and short of it. You’re going to strip down and run naked down a dark path. Mac will be following behind you, in his wolf form. He’ll drive you to the area where he’s built his mating bed for you. At some point, he’ll reveal himself to you, in wolf form, and then transform back into a human. The sex you’ve had with Mac this morning, it’s nothing compared to what happens during the full moon. It’s amplified, a thousand times better for both you. Male wolf shifters are more aggressive, so avoid being overly snarky with him. Wolf shifters can also fuck all night.”

Aurora had no doubt this Alpha female had given this lecture more than once. It reminded her of a mother, giving her daughter the ‘sex talk.’ “Okay.”

“No one will interrupt you. It’ll just be you and Mac. Tonight is intimate and special, so enjoy it.”

Aurora gazed out the open gate in the direction Mackenzie had headed. She swore the light from the fire glinted off his eyes, causing them to be two iridescent orbs. “He might get a little rougher and more dominant than normal.” She blinked and returned her attention to Keeley. “Anal sex is a high probability also. Don’t panic, go with it, if you’re into it; if not, tell him no. He’ll respect your wishes.” Keeley clapped her hands together, and Aurora figured this was the signal that Keeley had said all she was going to say.

“Hold up.” Aurora threw up her hand. “Anal? People really do that? Mackenzie will want to stick his thing—dick in my butt?”

Keeley chuckled. “I can’t speak for humans since all I’ve ever known is Kal, but it’s a big thing with wolf shifters. The men, if you ask them, will give you some mumbo-jumbo story about it being the ultimate pleasure and building of trust between mates. Showing domination—whatever.” Keeley’s hand waved back and forth. “I call bullshit on all of it, and will state they just do it because one, the wolf likes it, and two, they’re still guys, and they fucking like anal.”

Aurora was dying to ask Keeley if this was something, she did with Kalkin and it was on the tip of her tongue to ask, but when she thought about it, she realized Kalkin did, otherwise Keeley wouldn’t have brought it up.

“So, you’re saying, Mac’s going to want to do it… To me?”

Keeley nodded. “Most assuredly; if not tonight, then at some point during the three days of the full moon.”

“Fuck me,” Aurora muttered.

“Oh, Mac will. Don’t you worry,” Keeley snickered, clearly amused.

“I think I’ve gone from slightly nervous to scared shitless,” Aurora admitted. “Do you give all humans who mate wolves the same spiel.”

“Yeah, I do. I know what it was like to run up the path with little to no idea of what was about to happen to me. Knowledge is power, and I don’t want others in our pack/pride to be blindsided.” Keeley gave Aurora’s hand a squeeze. “You’ve got this, Aurora. Mac is a Raferty, and if I know anything about these Raferty men, it’s that every single one of them knows exactly what to do with a female in and out of the full moon.”

Aurora had no doubt.

“When the full moon is over, we’ll have another chat about the added benefits of being fully mated to a wolf shifter,” Keeley said.

Aurora wondered why she’d have to wait. “Why not do it now?”

Keeley smiled. “I don’t want to overwhelm you.”

“Right? Heaven forbid you’d want to take an already freaked-out woman and just amp it up tenfold and inundate her with even more information,” she said, her tone filled with sarcasm.

Keeley narrowed her eyes and smirked. “Get all the snark out of you now, before you start the run, otherwise Mac will do you dirty.”

Aurora snickered. “Yeah, we wouldn’t him to do that, in the woods, at night, in cold temperatures, now would we?”

Keeley laughed. “The rest of the family is going to hang out inside for a bit longer, give you guys some alone time. Feel free to get loud because anyone who is going to participate tonight, they’ll be in the opposite direction to give you some privacy.” Keeley gave her a saucy wink.

A movement to the right, followed by a yip drew Aurora’s attention to where Mackenzie had disappeared.
