“I better get you back to the altar,” Kaden said, his voice husky. “I agree with you, Wolfling. As the possessive male that I am, it would be a huge sacrifice to allow others to see your naked body, to see me taking you.”

My breasts became full and sensitive. My core throbbed and my thighs became wet with need. “Take care of me, Kaden. I hurt.”

My mind blurred in delirious arousal. My wolf surged to the forefront, urging me to fulfill my animalistic hunger. I closed my eyes, rubbing my breasts against Kaden’s sculpted chest, seeking him out. In the next moment, I felt the movement of a car then Kaden carrying me until he laid me onto a cool mattress that brought me no relief.

Kaden stripped his clothes, tossing them to the floor. I writhed against the silky sheet, tipping my hips up. Every fiber of my being hunkered for Kaden, for him to fulfill me, to ease this burning ache.

I lifted my head, my head, peering around at the pack crowd that had gathered around us. Their eyes set on us, on our nude bodies, flushed with arousal. I’d never felt so exposed in my life. The heat of embarrassment filled my cheeks, momentarily knocking me out of my heat. For the life of me, I couldn’t believe I would lose my virginity in front of a crowd of people.

My gaze drifted back to Kaden who stared at me

Kaden stood above me, staring at me, liquid fire burning in his emerald gaze. His shaft stood on end, almost to his belly buttons, and his eyes traced over my breasts, tracing a line down my belly to my center, leaving a trail of heat in his wake.

He seemed lost in me, lost in the moment. An electric current of anticipation swirled in the air, crackling between us.

The Seer lit the four white candles, then stood at the head of the altar.

Hailey raised her arms to the sky, toward the full, round moon hovering above the clearing. "May we be witness to this ceremony, to this sacrifice this pair will make for us. May this claiming and union lift the curse, forever healing those inflicted."

I barely heard her soft footsteps padding down the stairs as she joined the crowd. Instead, I focused on Kaden. On his chiseled, alpha body, his perfect pecs, and ribbed abs, sculpted legs that held him firmly planted over the earth. A perfect specimen of strength, power, and dominance that made me suck in a hard breath.

He planked himself over me, caging me on both sides with his muscular arms. His face leaned next to my ear, his heat radiating off him, his warm cedar wood scent teasing my senses. Sensing his wolf nearing mine, my wolf surfaced, seeking his out. "Do you sense that? That's my wolf, ready to claim you, the same way yours needs to claim mine."

"Claim me, Kaden, make me your mate forever."

My chest heaved, straining towards his hard frame. My wolf preened and pranced in anticipation of what was coming. Kaden lowered on top of me, connecting his skin to hot skin, molding our bodies together.

Fire erupted in my body. His mouth captured mine in an electric, enrapturing kiss that sent shivers racing over my skin. Our tongues tangled, ramping up the heat in my veins, and in my core.

His steel-hard shaft settled against my sensitive thigh. My arms linked around his neck and my hands slid over his sinewy back. His hands feathered over my skin then grasped my breasts, skating his thumbs over my tight nipples.

Somewhere beyond the platform, people murmured in hushed whispers but my last awareness of embarrassment faded as he nudged his thick crown into the edge of my swollen opening.

"My only regret for tonight is that I won't be able to properly get you ready. The man in me hates the idea of them watching me do too many things to you." He inched his hard shaft into me, making me gasp. "And my wolf is snarling for me to claim you. You belong to me."

I shamelessly tipped my hips up, egging him on to enter me. My wolf bowed in submission. In a raspy voice, I said, "Take me, Kaden. I'm yours, and you're mine."

With a quick, merciless thrust, he slid into me, full hilt. A guttural groan tore from his throat. I dug my nails into his back and hissed as a mixture of stinging pain and pleasure hit me like a lightning bolt.

For a moment, he remained still, his full girth stretching me. "Let me know when you're ready, darling Wolfling."

I moaned, unable to take the aching stillness. "Don't wait, don't be gentle."

Kaden set a slow, even rhythm, sliding in and out of my slick heat, his shaft hitting a pleasurable spot within my walls. He gripped my hips as he rode me, his thrusts becoming harder and faster, deeper and deeper.

His thumb found my hard nub, drawing mesmerizing circles on it. He grunted and groaned. "I waited for this moment since I met you, Wolfling. To feel your pussy around my cock, so tight and wet."

I couldn't respond. My mouth had gone dry. Flames licked my insides as he pounded into me and my body received him. My walls tightened around his thick shaft, and pleasure wound tighter in my center. As warm tingles spread from my core to every cell of my body,

Kaden melded our bodies together.

My wolf surged to the surface. As she and I sensed Kaden's approach, my canines elongated in a partial shift.

"Bite me where my neck and shoulder connect, Wolfling," he said, his hot breath fanning over my damp skin. "Claim me as I claim you."

He sank his teeth into my flesh until he broke the skin, and I did the same to him. White heat shot over my body as my core gripped his shaft. Kaden's shaft twitched inside me, his hot seed flooding my insides. A rumble of pain mixed with pleasure spiraled out from his bite into the center of my being.

My wolf howled. And Kaden’s black wolf stalked toward me, his yellow eyes set on me like prey. Suddenly, he sprang toward me, the outline of his furry body sinking into my chest until every part of Kaden sank deep into me.
