Alain's POV:

After we finished lunch, I showed Brad and Jessie to their suite on the third floor.

"This is your suite here," I told them and opened the door. I stepped in and they followed. The first thing that they saw was a comfortable, large couch, large flat screen TV and beyond that a small kitchenette with a small table for two. There was a door that opened to the right. I headed that way and they followed behind me. I opened the door and led them into the bedroom, which had a built-in dressing room and another door, leading to the bathroom. I turned to them and smiled.

"This is it," I said and smiled at them. "If there is anything you would like to change or anything else that you need, just let me or Altewen know. Dinner starts at 7pm, if you want some." I then walked out and left them alone. I still had a lot to do, namely my own place upstairs. Now that I knew that I had a mate, there had to be some changes made. I headed upstairs and placed my hand on the door. It started to give off a blue light and opened inward. My rooms had not been touched by Altewens changing of the manor. This was going to be my job. I looked around at all the boxes, crates, papers, maps and furniture jumbled together and sighed. Better to start sorting everything out now.

Brad's POV:

I swallowed hard and looked at Jessie.

"This place is bigger than both of our apartments put together," I said and held her close to me. She looked up at me and smiled, shyly. She bit her bottom lip and I rubbed my thumb over it.

"What is it?" I asked her and she looked down.

"What do you need to turn me?" she asked and looked at me with desperation in her eyes. I stroked her cheek and smiled at her. I then became more serious and she cringed, letting me go. As she turned away from me, I grabbed her wrist and turned her back toward me.

"I wished we could have met the Arch Magus sooner," I said and held her tight against me. "We could have done this a long time ago. You don't know how hard it was for me to refuse your wish. I just didn't want to put you in danger." Jessie saw tears in my eyes when I pulled back and looked at her. She made a small sound of distress and put her hand on my cheek. I leaned into her hand and smiled at her.

"We need to clean ourselves up before we can get started," I said and headed to the bathroom. When I opened the door, I whistled at the sight in front of me. Jessie peeked around me and blinked.

"Wow... This bathroom is bigger than my studio apartment," she said and walked in. The bathtub was a small pool, big enough to fit ten people. On the right there was a large shower that seemed to have showerheads everywhere. On the left there was a toilet, two sinks above a large dresser and a large linen closet.

"You sure he didn't give us his room?" I asked, walking towards the closet. Opening it I found tons of large, fluffy towels and grabbed a stack of them. As I turned around, I saw two white, thick bath robes and smiled. I looked around and frowned.

"What is it?" she asked.

"There are other things that we need before we begin," I said and placed the towels by the pool. "Do you think he would mind if I already asked for some items?" She laughed out loud.

"We will see now, will we not?" I grinned at her.

"That we will," I said and headed for the door of our new home. As I walked out, I saw him coming down from the top floor. I looked down, sheepishly.

"May I ask you for some items that we will need?" I asked him.

"I wouldn't have said anything if I didn't mean it," he said, smiling. "How can I help you?"

"We will need lots of large, black pillar candles, two white ones that are slightly larger, some pure acacia oil, rose oil, salt..." he reached out and touched my head, his eyes flashing.

"Everything you need is in your suite, just the way you want it," he said, smiling at me. "I see that you two will not be coming down for dinner tonight."

"Maybe not even tomorrow or the day after" I said, looking serious. "It all depends on how long she takes to change and I can't leave her."

"What is the longest time a change has taken?" he asked curiously.

"In my Pride the longest time it has taken was three days," I answered and he nodded.

"So longer than that I should be worried?"

"Longer than that and she will die," I said and he looked at me, frowning. "But I know she will make it... She is my mate." Having said that, I turned around and entered our suite.

I startled when I entered the bedroom and saw all of the changes that had been made. I smiled and silently thanked Alain for it. When I walked into the bathroom, Jessie still stood where I had left her looking around in awe. The bathroom had gotten even bigger and now had live queen palm trees at each corner of the pool. How was this even possible, I thought to myself.

"Are you seeing this?" she asked and looked at me.

"I am seeing it but I don't believe it," I said, looking around. "Did the house grow?" She shrugged.

"I wouldn't put anything past Alain," she said and grinned. I walked over to Jessie and hugged her.

"Are you ready to do the ritual?" I asked, looking down at her. She looked me in the eyes and smiled at me.

"What do I have to do?"

"Get rid of your clothes and step into the pool," I answered. She stripped down and entered it.

"This is nice and warm," she said, sighing. I picked up the acacia oil and poured it in the pool. I undressed and stepped in myself, grabbing a natural sponge. I proceeded to wash her down, taking my time to get every nook and cranny. Jessie leaned back against me and moaned lightly. I smiled and held her close, kissing her neck. I grabbed the bath gel and soaped her down, then rinsed her off. I then washed and conditioned her hair.

"My turn," I said and smiled at her. She took the sponge and gave me the same treatment that I had given her.

"Did you notice that the pool stays clean on its own?" she asked and I nodded.

"Perfect for you and me," I said as I helped her out of the pool. I took one of the fluffy towels, handed it to her before picking up another one.

"Now we dry each other off thoroughly," I said. "Everything except the hair. We then take three drops of rose oil and rub each other's hands and feet, really working it in." She nodded and we started to dry each other off. When we were dry, I picked up the rose oil and put three drops of it in her hand. She rubbed her hands together then started to work on my hands and feet. I did the same with her after she was finished. I took one of the robes and put it on her. She mirrored me. I then picked her up and carried her bridal style into the bedroom. She gasped as she saw the changes that had been made. I laid her gently on the bed and climbed in behind her, kissing her gently on the lips and smiled.

"What do we do next?" Jessie asked.

"We will feed each other starting with you feeding me," I answered, smiling. I picked up a bowl of fruit and handed it to her. She proceeded to feed me while I stroked her. She smiled at me as she fed me grapes and berries. She tilted her head at me.

"What happens after this?" she asked me.

"After we are full of food and drink, we mate," I said and winked at her. She giggled and fed me some more grapes. She stopped smiling and looked at me seriously.

"How will you turn me?" she asked and I looked at her in the eyes, sighing.

"I will not lie to you. That part is going to hurt," I said. "But it will only hurt for a minute if I do it correctly."

"When will you do it?"

"While we mate. The timing has to be perfect," I said and looked at her, searching for any doubt in her eyes. There was none, only anticipation. She fed me a strawberry and smiled at me. I took the bowl from her and started to feed her.

"I have loved you since I first met you," I said. "You are my mate. The bond that I feel for you will only get stronger when I mark you."

"Mark me?" she asked and I nodded.

"I will turn you and mark you at the same time," I said and fed her some raspberries.

"What does it mean when you mark me?"

"It is a marriage of sorts," I answered. "Once I mark you we will be bound for life. No other male lion will touch you." I winced a little. "There is a down side to this, though. If one of us dies so does the other unless there is a pregnancy. Then you will die as soon as the cubs are born." I looked at her with sadness in my eyes while feeding her some berries. "Do you want to do it?" she asked, chewing.

"I want to know how you feel about it," I said. When I tried to feed her some more grapes, she pushed my hand away gently. I sat the bowl aside and stayed kneeling on the bed, looking at her.

"I want this. I want you with me forever," she said seriously. "I want you to mark me. I want to marry you. And I have also loved you since we met. There has always been a strong pull to you. Is this what mates feel?" I looked at her in surprise, then leaned towards her, licking her lips. I undid her robe and gently pulled it off of her. She did the same thing to me and I gently laid her down. I kissed her with passion this time and stroked her sides lightly. I then kissed down her face, down her throat and between her full breasts. I played with the left n****e while gently sucking and nipping on the other. Jessie grabbed my hair and arched her back to give me better access. She moaned, becoming aroused by what I was doing. I switched n*****s, lighty biting and sucking. Her breathing got harder as I continued kissing down her body. She gasped as my fingers found her sweet spot, rubbing and flicking it. I looked at her and smiled. She was so beautiful like this. I scooted further down and put her legs over my shoulders, attacking her flower. She moaned loudly, thrashing back and forth from my ministrations, panting. I put two of my fingers in her and felt her flower begin to spasm. I wiggled my fingers inside her and she screamed as a major orgasm made her fall apart. I scooted back up and on top of her. She was still breathing heavily and gasped as I slid my large member into her, filling her completely. I started off slowly and she wrapped her arms around me. She fell into a rhythm and met me, grinding her hips into me.

"Please," she panted. "Please go faster." I picked up the pace and she felt herself winding tighter as she was getting close to another orgasm. She dug her nails into my shoulders and I rumbled in pleasure. I put my hands on her ass, put my mouth on her neck and went faster, pounding into her. I pulled out of her and turned her on her belly. I then entered her again going even faster. I laid down across her back and sunk my fangs into the back of her neck, while simultaneously putting my claws into her hips. She screamed in pain and then we came together in the most explosive orgasm she had ever felt in her life. I removed my teeth from her neck and roared. I removed my claws from her, turned on to my side and licked the back of her neck while still inside her.

"Are you all right?" I asked concerned. She was still breathing hard.

"Never better," she replied. "How long before it takes effect?"

"Just about... now," I said as she started to shiver. I held her tight against me, soothing her and kissing her shoulder. Her temperature spiked fast and she shook.

"I think I am going to be sick," she said and launched herself over the side of the bed. I held her hair out of the way and thanked the Goddess I had thought about the bucket. When she was done, I pulled her back against me. She stopped shaking and cooled off.

"Go to sleep, my mate," I whispered in her ear. "I will not leave your side." We fell asleep in each other's arms as I was in awe of my mate. She had passed the change in less than an hour.
