Chase

“Is it time to go to mate yet?” Robicheaux whined.

“We’re almost ready,” Chase replied, checking his appearance in the full length mirror in his bedroom.

“You look fine,” Robicheaux said, “Let’s go.”

“ We’ve really got to get her home soon,” Chase sighed, “Apparently it’s driving you crazy to be away from her.”

“I’m an Alpha, once an Alpha finds his mate, he needs to be with her. I’m sure you feel the pull to mark and mate with her,” Robicheaux asserted.

“Of course I do. We share one body so obviously I share the same urges that you do,” Chase said.

Chase checked his appearance once more before leaving his room and preparing to head to Kyrie’s house. He mind linked his Beta and Gamma, telling them to keep an eye on things and to link him immediately if any problems arise.

Chase chose to make the short walk to her house since it sat just outside the southeastern border of the pack lands. He couldn’t wait to spend the evening with his mate and if he was lucky maybe the whole night, although he would wait as long as necessary for her to be ready.

Kyrie

“I am going to push forward and talk to him when he gets here,” Kahlan insisted as Kyrie was getting ready.

“You could give me a chance to talk to him about it first,” Kyrie complained with a sigh.

“No,” Kahlan stated firmly, “I want my mate and something about this mate bond has been causing the binding spell to unravel. We need them.”

“I understand what you told me about the mate bond, and it makes sense with the way that I feel about him,” Kyrie admitted, “but what if..,”.

“No buts,” Kahlan told her, “I promise if you let me talk to them first, everything will go a lot more smoothly for us.”

“You sure are bossy,” Kyrie sniped at her.

“ I’m a royal Alpha Lycan,” Kahlan huffed at her, “It’s to be expected.”

Sparks

Kyrie was sitting on her back porch and saw Chase walking up her driveway. She swallowed and her breath hitched a little at the sight of him. She understood the strange draw she felt to him since Kahlan had explained mate bond. It was almost like love at first sight but it was more than that.

She walked to the door of her porch and unlocked it to let him in, feeling a little nervous about what Kahlan was planning to do.

“I’m so happy that you came,” Kyrie told him with a smile.

Chase leaned in and kissed her cheek, “Nothing could have kept me away.”

When the sparks ignited against her cheek when he kissed her, Kyrie felt as though she was catapulted to the back of her mind as Kahlan took over.

“Mine!” Kahlan shouted, throwing herself into Chase’s arms.

Immediately Chase’s eyes shifted to a bright glowing green.

“Mine,” Robicheaux growled pulling Kahlan flush against his body.

Even from the odd view of watching this exchange from the back of her own mind, Kyrie gave a gasp as she felt the sparks from the mate bond electrifying every part of her body that touched Chase.

“You’re so beautiful mate,” Robicheaux said burying his face in her neck causing stronger sparks to course over her body.

Kyrie was not expecting the wave of instant desire made her stomach clench and her panties instantly wet. Her senses, much keener since Kahlan was starting to break free, had her able to smell the intense sweetness of her arousal, and was embarrassed because she was sure that meant that Chase could smell it as well.

“You smell so good mate,” Kahlan purred rubbing her face on his chest before sticking her nose in his neck and inhaling his scent.

Robicheaux hissed as her nose grazed his marking spot, “I want you so bad mate, and I can smell how much you want me ,” he growled again and grabbed her hips and her pulled her more tightly against him.

Chase decided it was time to take back control from his wolf before these two decided to mate and mark each other on Kyrie’s front porch. Forcing his wolf back, Chase took a step back from Kahlan as his eyes returned to their normal warm brown.

“What is the matter? Don’t you want me?” Kahlan asked when Chase stepped away from her.

“Of course I do love,” Chase answered, “But I need to make sure that Kyrie is ok with what’s happening.”

“Can we see Robicheaux tonight? I want to see my mate in the flesh?” Kahlan asked him.

“As long as Kyrie is ok with it. I don’t want to scare her,” he explained to Kahlan, “So can I please see my mate?”

Kahlan sighed but nodded her head and her purple eyes quickly changed to Kyrie’s light brown eyes.

Kyrie backed several steps away and looked at him wide-eyed. “I’m so sorry Chase. I had no idea that she would act like that.”

“Hey, it’s ok. It’s honestly really normal and natural for them to act like that. They are animals after all,” he told her, stepping closer to her and running his hands down her arms.

She shivered at the feeling of the mate sparks dancing down her arms when he touched her. She looked up into his eyes, “So it’s true then, we are mates,” she said softly.

“It’s true. We are mates. I don’t want you to be scared of this though. I know your Lycan must have explained some of this to you but it’s not the same as knowing these things for your whole life,” Chase told her.

“How about we go eat and we can talk about it while we eat? I do have some questions, and I need better answers than mine or mate,” Kyrie said with a smile.

Chase gave her that jaw dropping grin and held out his hand, “Sounds like a plan to me love,” he agreed.

Kyrie placed her hand in his and turned to lead him into her house.
