Kristof's Point of View After washing the dishes, I popped into the lounge area to find Aláine. "Have you seen Aláine," I asked Zara. "I think she went upstairs to see Axel," she replied. I thanked her and then took the stairs two at a time. I wanted to spend time cuddling my mate. Even just touching and kissing her sent electrical pulses down my body. I could only imagine what sex would be like. Even just the thought of it was enough to tighten my jeans. "Patience!," I told myself. "It will all work out in the end." I couldn't believe it. Aláine wasn't just going to have sex with me; she was ultimately accepting me as her mate. My wolf and Lycan were howling with excitement, but I breathed deeply to control them. I could tell she was nervous, and I didn't want to rush our first time together. I know she isn't as experienced as me, and I want it to be perfect for her. She stopped kissing me to watch her hands as they explored my chest and abdomen. When she bit her bottom lip, I

Kristof's Point of View"I could stay like this forever," Aláine breathed with a sigh of contentment.I hadn't withdrawn but just adjusted my weight so I wouldn't crush her. I wanted to remain inside her for as long as I could. It felt as if she were made for me, and I had never felt this way with anyone else, just her. This was the mate bond in action, ensuring that sex and love would never be as exquisite with anyone else. I knew that after this, I would never desire anyone else or want another woman sharing my bed or life. Thinking about how tight she was around me and how I reacted to her juices flowing over me when she got aroused, I started getting hard again. And then there was her scent.I revelled in her unique scent mixed with mine. Her scent drew me to her initially so that I could recognise her as my mate. Each mate had one. I wondered what my scent would smell like to her once she transformed into a werewolf."Why didn't you tell me you were a virgin?" I asked."I didn'

Kristof's Point of View Aláine and I stood there after I had marked her, just holding her in my arms. I could smell her arousal and was just as turned on as her. Unfortunately, she was still human at this stage, and I might hurt her if we went at it again straight away. I didn't want to hurt her in any way. She was the most precious thing in the world right now, so I held off doing anything else. Letting my mind wander for a little, I stared into her eyes. Aláine had not only given herself to me in terms of her body, but she had given herself to the mating bond. She had allowed me to mark her and claim her. In about a week or so, there would be a full moon, and we would be celebrating. Considering it was September, it would be the Harvest Moon. Our celebrations would be raucous and would end in a pack run. I would have to get Noah or one of the pack Elders to run that since I would be with Aláine. On the night of her first shift, there was no way that I would leave her side that n

Aláine's Point of View As I woke, I could sense him looking at me, even before opening my own. I wondered how long he had been staring and what he might possibly have on his mine. More sex, maybe? Knowing him, probably. "Good morning, Sweetness," Kristof drawled. I opened my eyes to stare into his beautiful brown eyes that were flecked with gold. They seemed to gaze directly into my soul, and I felt as if everything I was and had become was laid bare for him to see. They had seemed to be black last night during our night of passion, or at least as I vaguely remembered. The memories of last night made me smile. "Good morning," I answered leaning in to kiss him. "And what is that smile for?" Kristof asked. "Us." "Good, because I intend to make sure you wake up with a smile on your face every morning," he said as he attacked my mouth with such ferociousness it caused me to moan. Pulling away to take a breath I asked, "Haven't you had enough?" "Never!" he growled, "I could never h

Aláine's Point of ViewWhen we arrived at the police station, Kristof parked the car across the road. There were plenty of parks and not many people about at this stage of the day."I'll lock up and pay for parking," said Kristof, "and then I will come in too. There are some pack members that I wish to talk to."I looked at him before trying not to smirk. The first thing that popped into her head was the K9 unit. It was rather speciest if that was even a word, and I had no intention of letting him know that. No intention at all. Kristof gave me the side-eye, so I tried to smile naturally before giving him a kiss on the cheek."How many?" I asked."Just a couple," was the answer, "I want to see if we can get any information on Viktor. At least we now have a name.""See you soon," I replied and went in.Entering the police station through the front door, I could see the usual police officer I dealt with, waiting for me. It was pretty quiet inside too, and there weren't very many people
