Kael’s Pov
I couldn't sleep that night.
Willow lay beside me, her back turned, hair spilling over the pillow. I could hear her soft breaths, smell her skin, the mark I had already burned into her neck. My mark. Mine.
But my wolf wasn’t resting. He kept pacing inside me, restless, greedy. He wanted her again. And if I was being honest, so did I.
I leaned close, brushed my lips over her shoulder. She stirred, not fully awake, but I saw the little shiver that ran through her. I kissed her again, lower this time, until she rolled to her back, blinking at me.
“Kael?” her voice was husky, half-asleep.
I didn’t answer. My mouth was already on her collarbone, then down to the swell of her breast. She gasped and caught my hair in her hands, tugging me closer.
But I pulled back.
She looked confused, lips parted, breathing heavy already. I just stared at her. “I’m sorry,” I said.
“For what?”
“For not worshipping you the way I should have,” I murmured. “I was too impatient before. My wolf… he just needed to claim you. I didn’t take my time. I didn’t let myself taste you. Not the way you deserve.”
Her eyes widened, and I saw her chest rise and fall faster.
I kissed her stomach, slow. Then lower. She whimpered when she realized where I was going.
I spread her thighs apart, kneeling between them. Her scent hit me hard, rich and sweet, and it made my wolf growl deep inside me. I held myself back, forcing control. This was for her. This time, I would give until she begged.
I slid a finger along her folds, teasing, before slipping it inside. She moaned, arching up, her hands fisting the sheets.
“Kael…”
“Shh,” I hushed her, kissing the inside of her thigh. “Let me do this.”
I pushed in another finger, curling them just right until I felt her walls clench. Then I lowered my mouth to her, tongue slow at first, then harder when she started shaking.
Her cries filled the room. She tried to close her legs, but I held them open, eating her like I was starving, my fingers working deeper inside her. Her taste was all over my mouth, and I couldn’t get enough.
When she came, she screamed my name. Her whole body shook, back lifting off the bed, thighs trembling around my face. I didn’t stop until she pushed at my head, gasping for breath.
I pulled away, wiping my mouth on the back of my hand, watching her with dark hunger. “That’s what I should’ve done the first time.”
Her cheeks flushed. She pulled me up, kissed me hard, tasting herself on my lips. And then she pushed me down.
My back hit the mattress, and she swung her leg over me, straddling me.
“Lylah…”
Her mouth crashed against mine, shutting me up. She moved fast, desperate, grinding against my c**k until I was throbbing under her.
And then I saw it.
Her eyes.
They weren’t their usual soft green anymore. They were red. Glowing, burning.
Power flashed through her like lightning, crawling over her skin, hot enough that I felt it pulse against me.
My wolf froze inside me, stunned.
Willow didn’t notice. She was too far gone, moaning as she sank down on me, taking me in deep. My head fell back with a growl, the heat of her swallowing me whole.
“f**k…” I groaned, gripping her hips hard.
She rode me like she was losing her mind, her hair wild, her red eyes glowing brighter every time she slammed down on me. Sparks lit the air around us, small bursts of energy that made the hair on my arms stand.
I’d never felt anything like it.
She was so strong. Stronger than any wolf, stronger than me. And yet she was mine. My mate.
My wolf howled inside me, not in anger but in awe. He wanted to bow to her, to give in completely.
I couldn’t take my eyes off her. The way she moved, the power running through her, the way her mark glowed faintly on her skin as if it was alive.
“Lylah…” I panted, dragging her down to kiss me. “Do you feel it?”
She moaned into my mouth, riding me harder. “I just feel you.”
Her walls tightened around me, her body trembling with another orgasm, but she didn’t stop. She kept moving, grinding on me, chasing every wave of pleasure.
I grabbed her face, forcing her to look at me. “You don’t know how….”
I trailed off as her eyes burned into mine, glowing brighter as she gasped, falling apart on me again.
The sight of her like that.. red eyes, power flooding the room, my c**k buried deep inside her, it was too much. My wolf snapped loose, claws raking inside me.
I flipped her over in one motion, slamming into her hard from above. She screamed, nails dragging down my back, legs wrapping around me tight.
I f****d her like my life depended on it, teeth sinking into her throat where my mark was. Her power kept flaring, mixing with my wolf’s fury, filling the room with raw energy.
It was chaos. Beautiful, unstoppable chaos.
And I never wanted it to end.
