Mark You in This Life

Freya's POV

A rush of power like nothing I had ever experienced before coursed through my entire body as Kai declared his acceptance of me as his mate and future Luna. I couldn't help but feel guilty about the whole thing. I hoped I hadn't made him feel like he had to rush his acceptance of me. Just seconds ago, I had been so ready to reject him for the sake of keeping him safe. And he was so willing just to forgive that I would even consider such a thing, that he was willing to accept me. Did I deserve him, after all of that?

Of course you deserve him, Freya,> Diana reassured me in our shared mind, You were scared. It's a natural thing. Though the idea of you rejecting our mate upsets me, I understand your reasoning behind your actions. Look at Kai. He understands, too. He has proven, in this short time that we have known each other, that there is nothing that he wouldn't do for you, his mate, and Luna. You deserve to be happy in this life, Freya. Never tell yourself otherwise.>

There's still so much that I'm unsure of, Diana.>

I know, my dear Freya. You must trust in us, and in the mate bond that we will figure everything out together, and it will be alright. We were born to do this. We were destined to find Kai and Orion in this life again. And we are destined to be a great Luna.>

Diana's words put me at ease. She was right. Kai had already proven so much to us. He admitted his own fears and accepted me as his mate and Luna, anyway. The thought of rejection hadn't even crossed his mind. I knew that with Kai, there was nothing that I couldn't do. He was my mate, we were a destined pair, fated to each other in not just this life, but our past lives as well. I admitted that I was still scared, but with Kai by my side, there was nothing that I could get through, right?

I took a deep, calming breath, my tears ceasing as I did so. I locked eyes with Kai. Though I had been moments from rejecting him to save us both, I was suddenly filled with confidence and assurance that I had never felt before. I was meant to spend my life with this man. I knew it more than I knew anything else. Somehow, I would always find my way back to him, and he would find his way back to me.

"I, Freya Wilder of the Forest Moon Pack, accept you, Alpha Kai Wilder, of the Silver Mountain Pack, as my mate and Alpha." As soon as I finished saying the words, that same rush of power coursed through my body again, and Diana howled in my head, as the bond between Kai and I was forever sealed. He was officially my mate, my partner, and my Alpha, and I was his, and his Luna.

I looked at Kai, who was panting from the same feeling of power. He stepped towards me, closing the gap between us. He looked down at me, tilting my chin up with his hand. "I want to kiss you, Freya," he said, his voice thick with lust. "May I?"

I nodded, my heart racing in my chest, as his lips crashed into mine. This was similar to the first time that we kissed, only that passion, that hunger, that need, it ran much deeper than before. His tongue sought mine out, and I happily obliged. His hands wrapped around my waist, as he lifted me off of the ground, and I wrapped my legs around him, as my hands explored whatever skin on his back I could reach, loving the feel of his skin.

He walked, pressing me against a nearby tree, as we kissed some more before breaking apart for air. "We...we should probably head back," he said.

"They can miss us for a bit longer," I said, my own lust clouding over me. "I'm in no hurry to get back."

He grinned. "Oh, you're not?" He put me down, his hands going to my shirt.

I grinned up at him, taking his hands at the corner of my shirt, and leading him and removing it, exposing my naked chest. "No, I'm not. I want to enjoy some time with my mate, thank you."

Kai breathed in heavily, as he admired my chest. He leaned down to kiss me again, as his hands went to knead my breasts. I moaned into his mouth, enjoying the sensations as his thumbs ran across my n*****s, as he massaged them until they turned hard under him. He pull his mouth off of me, grinning before working down to kiss my neck, his hands still working on my breasts, and I sighed happily, my eyes rolling into the back of my head. The sparks of the mate bond went through my entire body as I was putty in his hands under his touch. I'd been with plenty of people before, both men and women, but there was nothing like this. This was what being with a mate felt like. I knew, I never wanted or needed to be with another person again, just Kai.

My hands ran up and down his back, feeling his tight muscles. Goddess, was there anything about this man that wasn't perfect? Kai's mouth moved from my neck to my breasts, and I moaned as he took one of my n*****s in between his teeth. I wanted to make him feel the same sensations I was feeling, and my hands went to his shorts, pulling them down, and my hand reached to his length, wrapping around it firmly. I knew that male wolves were usually well endowed, but this was something entirely different. I grinned as he grew hard in my hands, and I could feel the heat from my core as he did. He growled against my skin, and I couldn't help but grin as I began to run my hand up and down, stroking him firmly.

Kai stopped his work on my breasts, his lips crashing into mine once again. His hands went to pull down my own shorts, his fingers slipping in between my inner thighs, stroking against the skin gently, before he slipped two inside of me, pumping them steadily. I moaned against his lips, as his thumb found my c**t, circling it expertly. My body tightened at the tension, and I nearly stopped my own stroking of him as he expertly worked his fingers on me.

"I want you, Freya," he said, his breath hot against my lips. "Do you want me, too?"

I nodded, the words taking a moment to come to my lips. "Goddess, yes," I said, my body trembling with need. "I want you, Kai. Make me yours. Please."

He kissed me, removing his fingers from me, as I dropped my hand wrapping my arms around his neck. He lifted me once again, pressing my back against the tree, as he lowered me onto his throbbing length. I moaned at the sensation, as I adjusted my body as every inch of him filled me completely. I wrapped my legs around his waist again, my heels digging into his skin. I moaned satisfactorily as he thrust into me experimentally. He felt so perfect, and his body molded into mine with ease. I couldn't tell where he ended, and I began. My lips met his hungrily again, and I squeezed his sides with my legs, signaling him to keep going.

Kai started moving in me slowly, letting me adjust to his pace. And while I appreciated that he was willing to let me adjust, every part of my body was crying out with want and need. I didn't want him to go slow. I wanted every part of him. I used the back of the tree for purchase, as I started to bounce on him. He seemed to get the hint, thrusting faster into me. I cried out, my fingernails digging into his skin. I wanted to drag this out for as long as possible, this perfect first time with my mate.

Kai leaned forward, licking my marking spot, sending an electric tingle down my spine. "I'm going to mark you, Freya," he whispered, his breath hot against my ear. "Is that what you want?"

I practically whimpered as he said he was going to mark me. My body shuddered with anticipation. "Yes," I said, "Please, mark me, Kai."

He chuckled against my shoulder, and suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my neck, and my vision blurred, my body tensing and releasing with the most intense orgasm that I had ever felt as he sank his canines into my marking spot. I screamed his name as loudly as I could, panting a bit as I slowly came down from high, as he licked the wound, solidifying my mark.

Kai stopped for a moment, letting me catch my breath, but still remaining in me. "You good?" He asked, kissing the bridge of my nose.

I nodded. "I'm good," I said, slowly catching my breath.

Kai grinned. "Good, because it's your turn." He stepped back from the tree, lowering us both to the ground so I was on top, still inside of him. I moaned, as it felt like he was even deeper inside of me from his position. "Mark me, Freya, make me yours."

I leaned down, kissing him, as I slowly rocked my hips against his, loving the sensation of riding him. His hands went to run through my hair, as I picked up my pace, moving my hips up and down. Eventually, I moved my lips away from his, kissing the side of his face, and down his marking spot. I kissed the spot, sucking on the skin a bit, as I felt Kai's chest rumbled as he growled, his hand going to my back and pressing him close to me. I grinned, sinking my canines into him. Kai roared underneath me, his entire body shaking as he went over the edge and spilled into me. The sensation was too much, as I felt myself having yet another intense orgasm, as I licked the wound shut, sealing my mark on his shoulder.

I felt Kai panting heavily as we both finished. He lifted me off of him, pulling him close to me, holding me in his arms. I nestled in his arms, resting my head on his chest. We had mated and marked each other, something that apparently, our past lives had never been able to do. We'd focus on the heavy stuff later. But for right now, all I wanted was just this private time with my mate where we could bathe in the afterglow of bonding as one.
