My wolf is beyond happy, even though he doesn't have a wolf of his own. He's happy with Blair, and so am I.
“Yes!” Blair gasps, clinging to me. “I feel like you can't leave me. Ever. Don't ever leave me, Calix.”
I scoop her into my arms, my dick still hard inside her. I stride to the shower and flick it on, letting the cool water cascade over our scorching bodies.
“I'll never leave you, Blair,” I murmur, moving my hips as I press her against the wall. “I'll never leave you.”
Chapter Twenty-Five
BLAIR
When I wake the following morning, it's to loud, booming laughter. My head feels fuzzy, but as I blink sleep away, a grin spreads across my face.
Calix marked me—it’s official.
I'm his mate.
I didn't think it would make a difference—part of me wanted to see magical fireworks and see if I turned into a wolf or something equally exciting, but in reality, it hurt. I mean, the orgasm that came with it helped, and so did the ones that followed, especially with the ache and agony in my neck/shoulder.
But do I feel different?
I wiggle my toes and reach for my glasses, frowning when I slip them on and everything is blurry.
Wait. What?
I pull them off and stare around the room, able to see everything as clear as day. My heart skips a beat as I raise the glasses back to my eyes, and sure enough, my vision blurs. I gasp.
I don't need glasses!
A voice enters my head, and I'm still unable to believe how clear and sexy it sounds. It's much clearer than ever before, and I can't help but giggle.
Good morning, mate. I'm on a run—I'll be back soon. How are you feeling?
Calix.
I pause to consider the words I want to say, and to my delight, I hear my voice in my head.
I don't need my glasses anymore!
I'm still smiling stupidly when he chuckles.
You soundmuchclearer now. The mate bond is strong between us, especially if it's healed your vision.
I throw back the bedsheets and run to the bathroom, eager to see my reflection.
Do I look any different?
A voice laughs.I'm still here, Blair.
Go away!I shake my head with laughter, and my mind clears. He must've gone. I can imagine him running—is he in wolf form or human form? Damn, will he be sweaty and panting when he gets back?
Yeah, I will. You'll see in a minute.
Calix!I scold him, dismayed he had heard my thoughts.I don't like this!
What, me hearing what you think of me sweaty and panting? Dirty girl.
I stare at my reflection, my eyes wide. I look the same, no doubt, but the wound of my mark ishideous.
