Every time you forget I’m your mate,” I murmur against her lips, “this is how I’ll remind you.”

She splutters, pulling back.

“It was just a one-off thing.”

I laugh, the sound rumbling through my chest.

She pushes away from me.

“Come on.”

We bathe before heading to the study—the smell of sex and mating clings to us both, and while I don’t particularly care who knows what we’ve been doing, Daciana insists. I watch her scrub herself clean, fighting the urge to pull her back to bed.

  • Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha Prince   Chapter 325

    Everett POVAfter sending out the perimeter patrol, I summoned Sebastian to my home office. Once more I found myself in the chair behind my desk, but no longer was I alone with my thoughts. The sun shone on my back and illuminated the room brought to life by Aislin’s spicy-sweet smell as she stood beside me. Gavin and Billie stood opposite the desk, with Gavin’s arm slung over Billie’s shoulder and Billie’s arms folded, and finally, Sebastian Hicks seated in a chair between all of us. He looked uneasy under the stares of two Alpha pairs.“I’ll be direct about this,” I began. “We need the Mythguard to station a few sentries in Grandbay while the pack is sheltering here in Eastpeak.”The lanky man glanced between all of us, but seemed to focus mostly on Gavin and I. “We have already taken several casualties from the conflict with Dalesbloom. My superiors are gauging whether or not it’s worth it to risk our operatives on any mission beyond another attempted extermination.”“I’d think it

    Everett POVI was never more certain about something than I was about marking Aislin in that moment. I knew it was what I wanted because I had been thinking about it for days. Obsessing over it, wishing I could do it in the moments we were alone before. Aislin Mundy was my fated mate, and she was the only person I wanted to be with—the sooner I could mark her, the better. Now was the time to do it.My relief was immeasurable when she told me to mark her. Propped up above her, with my cock still inside her and our hearts beating in time, this was as close as we could get before the marking ritual and still it wasn’t enough—I had to make her mine. Sealing our lips with a long kiss, I slowly brushed back her hair and revealed a tract of skin on her neck where the tendon was firm. Gentle pecks staked my claim on the spot where I was to draw her blood. She found a place of her own under my jaw, where I felt her hot breath against my ear. Our bodies fit together perfectly, snug as two puzzl

    Aislin POVIf only to prove his concession to me, Everett drew in a slow breath and said, “I love you, Aislin.”Heat rushed to my face. I never thought I would hear those words from him—from anyone, really, but especially from him. It hit me so hard, it left me trembling. “You… You do?”“Yes. I’ve felt it for weeks, but I was afraid to admit it,” he said. “I love you and I want you to be my mate. Wherever you choose to be in the end, I want to make it work. I can’t stand the thought of either of us being with someone else. You fulfill me in ways I’ve never experienced. You’re always teaching me how to be a better person and that’s what I need. I’ll never stop needing that, or you.”Disbelief fixed me in place. Everything he said directly contested what I had expected from him. This big, stoic, independent Alpha who had never needed anyone else in his entire life suddenly needed me. Not only did he need me, but Everett wanted nobody else except me, too. We complemented each other in th

    Aislin POVGavin gathered his remaining packmates together in the pack cabin, though there weren’t many of us left. With Wendy, Philip, Barbara, and Casimir out of town, Niko and my father dead, and my mother in the hospital, it was just me, Billie, Albin, and Gavin. Four wolves from the ten that there initially was, two months ago before this had all started. Albin was bandaged up around his stomach, the gunshot wound swiftly closing, but still not in prime condition, while Gavin, Billie, and I were in various states of banged up from the fight. We looked like a sorry lot, and we felt like it, too.With a sigh, Gavin stood before us all and crossed his arms in front of his chest. “There’s no easy way to say this. We can’t stay here. It’s not safe since David has Muriel in his possession and we no longer know where he and his followers are hiding. They could strike any moment to wipe us out and ensure that they complete the Lycan ritual without interruption. For that reason, Everett a

    Everett POV“About her idea to merge our packs. And that you don’t want her to stay in Grandbay.”My guilt worsened. “I didn’t mean to lose my temper with her, Gavin. I just didn’t know how to process it when she said she might not stay here.”“Would you force her to stay in Eastpeak?”“No. Of course not. I understand how important her family is to her, especially after Oslo…”Gavin interrupted me. “She’s gone through a lot. Unless you’re going to apologize, maybe you should just give her space.”“I want to apologize. You have no idea how much Aislin means to me.”The Grandbay Alpha growled slowly. “Really? I think I have some ideas. Aislin’s been my best friend my entire life.”“Well, yes. I get that. But she’s also been helping me see people differently. She’s changed the way I want to treat people, and without her, I don’t think I can continue moving forward with positive progress. She’s critical to my improvement as an Alpha.”Gavin scoffed. “You talk about her like she’s just som

    Everett POVBetween working with the Mythguard to cover up the attack, dealing with the death of another packmate, and Aislin suddenly telling me she was no longer certain about our mateship, I didn’t know what to think or feel anymore. I had begun to believe it was better for me to feel nothing at all.Aislin left my house that night to be with her pack. I tried to understand her perspective, but that had always been my weakness. A lack of empathy. I festered in a pool of despair with nothing but self-reflection to keep me occupied as the night wore on, once more facing a lack of sleep. All night, I laid in bed thinking of what I’d said to Aislin and how our sweet, quiet moment had deteriorated into an argument. I blamed myself for my lack of confidence in our future, but she had asked and I was just being realistic. Maybe that had frightened her—the idea that we could very well die within the next few weeks as David underwent the Lycan ritual. She would rather spend her last few we
