Next day when Alyssa woke up, she found that the sun was up, but the house was pretty quiet. Fenris’s kiss lingered on her lips and she touched them gently. Last night, for at least an hour she had tossed and turned in her bed while dreaming of him. A slow smile built on her face. She was his mate. The day had suddenly looked brighter. She removed her blanket and walked to the bathroom. When she came out all dressed in a white shorts and a green blouse, she found that both Fenris and Benny were not there. Coira was making fried eggs. “Where are the men?” she asked Coira. “Benny has gone to the town and I saw Fenris walking up the trail.” “Ah!” She had a sudden urge to join him. She had a thousand questions

Overwhelmed with heartache on seeing his mate unconscious Tova howled once more. “Come back Alyssa. I will take care of you,” he murmured. As he galloped his horse, he tucked her close to his body. Her head rolled to his right shoulder and he tried his best that it stayed there. Was she breathing? He would check upon her from time to time. He checked if she had any injury or a swollen lump on the head, but there was none. There was a terrible bruise on her back, which was showing from inside and he knew that her ankle was also badly twisted. Blood had made her shirt wet. Even her hands were bruised. Tova shuddered. “Alyssa, baby… stay there.” His thoughts ran to the man who had attacked him. How the hell did the man conjure magic? And why was he after her? He rode as fast as possible to gain as much distance from her home from her cottage. The skies had turned dark and

Although Tova’s words sounded so dangerous, she was aroused. The connection between them was deep as if their souls were entwined ever since life began. His hazel eyes once again mesmerized her. She had a strong desire to kiss him and so she brought her arms to his neck and curled them around it. She pulled him closer to her and kissed him… passionately. Tova opened up for her. She grabbed his tongue and sucked it like honey. She groaned in his mouth feeling that this was the right thing to do. In that moment she forgot about the perils she was into, about Izhal, about her mother and about the fact that she was a bastard child. Tova gathered her in his arms carefully and gave her to him. She was so sweet and hot against his rough and hard body. They were in sync with each other and this was going to be the best thing that had ever happened to him. 

As they plodded further down, Alyssa noticed that the forest had become greener and only traces of snow were seen on the ground. The sun dappled between the leaves and the forest smelled of clean air. She loved it as they rode. She hadn’t been this carefree and happy in her life. With her in front of him, Tova couldn’t focus on anything else. Her hips were cradled against his thighs and he couldn’t help himself touching her breasts or belly or thighs. Her breasts were so plump and luscious that at one point of time he imagined his lips around them and his erection shot north.“Tova, behave,” she said. “What is that word? It doesn’t exist in my dictionary.” He pressed himself on her back and she chuckled.However

Tova came over her body immediately and wrapped her in his arms while still keeping his finger inside her. “Shh baby. It’s going to be fine,” he said. He left his finger inside her and  lay still for a moment. When she relaxed a little, he said, “Are you okay?” She nodded and he started moving it again inside. He had broken her virginity layer and he couldn’t believe his wonderful luck. He pressed his face in the crook of her neck and said, “I love you madly, and irrevocably, Alyssa!” She groaned and he inserted another finger inside her. “Ah!” It stung. Tova went to her breast,  wrapped his lips around them and sucked on her nipples harshly and longingly. Heat pooled in between her thighs and she clenched her muscles again.
