Kessler's POV I'm feeling overwhelmed with emotion right now.I finally made love to Lyra,she has haunted me for so long. I can't help but bask in her scent—it's intoxicating.Drawing her closer to me feels surreal as if I never want to let her go. When I sense the mind link about her heat,I doubt if she would want me near her.However,the pleading in her eyes compels Dolph to take over,not wanting harm to come to our mate. I couldn't help but watch her like a lovesick fool as she slept peacefully in my arms.This is how it should be—holding her every night,never letting her go. I can't contain the words as they escape my lips:"Lyra completes me."She stirs in her sleep,slightly opening her eyes. I offer a gentle smile,hoping she won't regret what we just shared.Relief washe
