The moment Emmaline’s mark settled on Carter’s neck, a wild, untamed energy sparked between them. It was electric, primal, and impossible to resist. They stood close, their breaths mingling, their wolves howling in satisfaction deep within them.
Carter’s glowing eyes locked onto hers, the glow intensifying as his wolf surged forward, no longer content to be restrained. Emmaline’s own wolf responded, a teasing growl escaping her lips as she traced the fresh mark she’d left on his neck with her fingertips.
“You’ve never looked better, Alpha,” she purred, her voice dripping with satisfaction.
Carter’s lips curved into a dangerous smirk, his hands tightening on her waist. “You’ve unleashed something, Emmy. I hope you’re ready for it.”
Her wolf bristled with excitement at his challenge, and she tilted her head, her chocolate curls spilling over one shoulder. “I was born ready.”
The space between them dissolved in an instant. Carter’s lips crashed against hers, the kiss raw and demanding, their bond flaring to life with an intensity that made her knees weak. His hands roamed her curves, pulling her flush against him as if he couldn’t get her close enough.
She responded in kind, her nails dragging down his back, the sensation drawing a growl from deep in his chest. The power between them was intoxicating, a constant push and pull as neither one of them gave an inch.
Carter lifted her effortlessly, her legs wrapping around his waist as he carried her across the room. When her back hit the wall, the impact was softened by his steady hands, but his movements were anything but gentle. He was all dominance, his wolf reveling in finally claiming what was his.
Emmaline met his intensity with equal fervor, her lips trailing down his jawline to the mark she’d left on his neck. She bit down lightly, sending a shiver through him, and he retaliated by gripping her hair, tilting her head back to capture her lips again.
“You’re insatiable,” he murmured against her mouth, his voice thick with desire.
“Look who’s talking,” she shot back, her breath hitching as his lips found the sensitive spot just below her ear.
Their passion was unrelenting, a fiery storm that consumed them both. Every touch, every kiss, every growl was a testament to the bond they’d forged, the raw power of their wolves unleashed without restraint.
When they finally pulled back, both of them were breathing heavily, their bodies tangled together as they leaned against the wall. Carter’s hands were still on her waist, his thumbs brushing against her skin in a way that sent sparks shooting through her.
“You’re mine, Emmaline,” he said, his voice low and possessive, his glowing eyes locked onto hers.
“And you’re mine,” she replied, her tone equally fierce. “Don’t forget it.”
His lips quirked into a satisfied smile, and he leaned down to kiss her again, this time slower, more deliberate. It was a kiss that spoke of promises, of a bond that could never be broken.
As the night deepened and their wild sides continued to surface, one thing became clear: they were equals in every way. And together, they were unstoppable.
