Chapter 32
Axel POV
I could feel the heat radiating off her as she sat on the edge of the bed, eyes shining with anticipation. Every muscle in my body ached to pull her close, but I held back. This was more than desire..it was a bond, raw and permanent. I could sense her heartbeat, quickening under my touch as I brushed her hair from her neck. The scent of sunflowers and fresh-cut grass enveloped me, making it almost impossible to think straight.
I leaned in, my lips grazing her skin, letting my tongue trace the marking spot. Her gasp was small, almost delicate, and I waited, numbing the area before sinking my teeth in. A sharp sting, a tiny wince, then relaxation. She returned the favor moments later, licking my own marking spot. Damn. That pain was exquisite, and I couldn’t deny how much it thrilled me.
She smiled, a little fleck of my blood on her lips, and I pulled her into a deep kiss.
“You know,” I murmured, lips still brushing hers, “we could do all kinds of other things before the ceremony. Want to try?”
Her blush was immediate, and when she nodded, my pulse spiked. Tonight… tonight would be unforgettable.
Axel POV
The moment she nodded, I took her hand, pulling her gently toward the bed. Her breath hitched as I settled behind her, my hands tracing the curve of her shoulders. Every inch of her skin called to me. The bond burned between us, marking us as mates in a way that no one else could ever touch.
I leaned down, lips ghosting over her ear, whispering,
“You’re mine. Every part of you… mine.”
Her shiver at my words set my blood on fire. Slowly, carefully, I explored her, letting her feel safe, letting her lead me when she wanted. Our bodies moved together, a rhythm that was both tender and urgent. She gasped when I kissed the sensitive spots I knew would make her forget the world outside this room.
Every touch, every whisper, every heated glance made the bond thrum stronger. Time became meaningless. Outside, the world could wait—tonight, there was only us.
Ryan & Jasmine POV
Back in the hall, the tension was almost unbearable. The males still staggered in shock from Berny’s bold rejection. Some were angry, some afraid, but every one of them knew the pain they had caused.
“Next!” I bellowed, scanning the room. A few more females stepped forward, each ready to speak their truth. One by one, they detailed the betrayal, the emotional torment, the lies. With each confession, the males cringed, shame painting their faces crimson.
Jasmine’s hand never left mine.
“Do you understand now?” she hissed to the room. “This is what your mates feel every day. This is the weight of betrayal, and it’s time you learned respect. Every single one of you will make amends…or you will no longer have a pack to belong to.”
Some of the unmated females hung their heads, realizing complicity wasn’t innocence. Others trembled, knowing the punishment for disrespecting the bond could be severe.
The hall was electric with tension, guilt, and retribution. We didn’t just enforce rules tonight…we reminded everyone that the sacredness of mate bonds was non-negotiable.
Axel POV
Meanwhile, in my bedroom, the intensity between us escalated. I could feel her heartbeat syncing with mine as I held her close, marking her in every possible way…emotionally, spiritually, physically. The connection was more than lust—it was raw, primal, protective, eternal.
Her lips met mine in a desperate kiss, fingers threading through my hair. She whispered my name, and something inside me snapped—I needed her, all of her, in a way that left no space for anything else.
The night stretched on, moments of tenderness mixed with searing desire, marking us, bonding us, claiming us. Every moan, every touch, was a seal on what we were: mates destined to be together.
Ryan & Jasmine POV
Hours passed in the hall, and the pack was transformed. Those who had treated their mates poorly now understood the consequences. Some were repentant, some fearful, and some humbled into silence.
“Enough for tonight,” I finally said, my voice calm but steel-strong.
“Every male and female here will respect the bond from now on. Any violation… and you face exile. No excuses.”
Jasmine nodded, eyes sweeping the room. “And anyone who tries to cheat, manipulate, or betray again… I will personally make sure they regret it. There’s no mercy for betrayal.”
For the first time, I felt the hall breathe collectively, a mix of relief and respect. Tonight, justice had been served, and the pack knew their boundaries…loud and clear. They finally understood what they had done was wrong, maybe the females will take them back, maybe not, but this pack will not fall part because of this bull s**t,
