TAYLOR POV "Morning," I whisper as I peel myself off of a disgusting-smelling Dom. Last night we were so tired we didn't talk to Cora and Dom didn't rinse off. We just climbed into the bed we have been platonically sharing and cuddled. "Morning, my heart," Dom whispers back and I manage to give him a small grin. "We stink," I say after a moment and he nods slightly before climbing to his feet. His eyes hold sorrow as he moves around the sparse room and I feel his sadness all the way to my bones. I don't know how to encourage him since I am feeling the same way. "We should get washed up and visit with your sister," I say softly, and Dom halts in his tracks. He looks even sadder before he sighs and looks at me. His face appears punched. Almost as if he is unwilling to disclose whatever is on his mind and I grow fearful. What could be worse than yesterday? "She left us last night. She is traveling to all the packs before us to ensure Luna Lihua didn't poison anyone else a

DOMENICO POV Goosebumps travel over my skin as I watch the water droplets fall from Taylor's dark hair. Lust slithers its way down my spine straight to my loins and I almost growl.I shouldn't be lusting after my mate when we have grieving members. Besides her shift is days away. I have done an excellent job of waiting this long. I can control myself a little longer. Taylor dries her hair in a small towel and I swallow the lump in my throat. I detach myself from her allure by thinking of my members and the friendships I lost yesterday. Sadness quickly sweeps away my lust and I am able to look at her again."Now that we are clean I need to hunt for the family members grieving. I must provide for them while they can not do it themselves," I say too stiffly as Taylor tugs a dress over her mouth-watering body. "No problem. I will go find Giulia and Alessia. My shift is in a week. I need to get my strength up. We need it now more than ever," she says sounding unaffected by my tone.

TAYLOR POV "Stop looking at it as if it will bite you. Eat," Giulia orders and I shake my head before eyeing the practically raw dish of meats. My stomach churns at the thought of placing one of the extremely rare chunks of animal on my tongue."I can't. It's too bloody. It needs to go back on for... five minutes at least. Come on Giulia don't make me eat it like that," I plead and she growls a little before looking toward Dom for help. "Alpha, tell her. She shifts tonight! She will need the energy that protein will give her," Giulia says and Dom shifts his eyes off my face long enough to glance at Giulia. She widens her eyes a little in frustration and jerks her head in my direction. I grin a little.It's obvious Dom wasn't actually hearing the words coming from around him. He was lost in thought while staring at me. Probably thinking about all the things that can go wrong tonight... Thoughts kept me up all last night. "Taylor. Eat. You will most likely enjoy the taste.

The gentle breeze ruffles the fur of the pack of Lycans watching Taylor. They all seem to be tittering between excited and anxious as twelve o'clock approaches. Dom and Taylor's closest friends keep sniffing the air and glancing toward the forest on the other side of the wall. Cora's scent is finally drawing closer to the castle and not a moment too soon. There is sweat already beginning to bead on Taylor's forehead and her naked skin feels itchy as she sits and waits with Domenico beside her in the grass. "She is almost here," Dom whispers as he brushes a strand of Taylor's long hair away from her face. Taylor gives her mate a tense smile, but nothing else. Her jaw is clenched as she fights back the need to cry. Her bones feel as if they are on fire and her tendons feel as if they are ripping. Things have already begun inside of her and the clock has yet to strike midnight. Taylor is terrified of the pain that is to come. Doubts of whether she will be strong enough to bear i

TAYLOR POV RATED R "What did you think," Dom asks as I slip into a loose t-shirt. "It was amazing," I admit before a sound from downstairs pulls my attention.Smells and sounds from everywhere in the castle keep distracting me. On the pack run I couldn't focus on much because my senses were so overloaded. I was barely able to keep up with everyone, but not because the other lycans were faster. I would see or hear things so unbelievable I would slow down. "Don't worry. You will get used to everything," Dom suddenly whispers from beside me and I snap my head toward him. He grins at the surprised expression on my face before lightly kissing my lips. Everything else falls away immediately as the presence of my mate overwhelms me. Yearning like I have never felt before zips through my body and I press myself into him. I begin to kiss his lips feverishly and grope his large chest. But before I can slide my hands down his stomach he breaks our kiss and smiles down at me lovingly.

TAYLOR POV4 months later Time has never moved faster for me. When I lived with Nathan I constantly felt unmotivated and unfullfilled. I wanted more, but I didn't know what. I thought it was the forest calling to me or the sense of adventure, but I was wrong. Now I have everything I could want and time won't slow down long enough for me to enjoy it. I have a ton of friends. I have a group of people who respect me and an amazing mate who pampers me everyday. But at the end of every day I wish I had more time. I wish I had smiled more at someone's story or talked with someone longer. Dom keeps telling me it's because I am still on human time, but I just feel like my time is limited with all of these amazing people. "Taylor, we can't postpone. We have to visit the cities and packs. The Creator wanted us to spread the news of our bond," Dom says as he sets done a dinner plate. I sigh loudly and Guilia rolls her eyes as she helps set the table with my mate. "The pack will survive

TAYLOR POV "Dom, this is pointless. We should stick with packs," I say quietly as we leave yet another tense situation. Dom only glances at me for a second before pulling his t-shirt off and slipping his worn denim down his muscular legs. He shifts and I sigh before undressing as well. The cities we have visited have all responded with open distrust and apprehension about our bond. Some of the communities have asked questions about our bond and asked me to demonstrate my shift, but then they act as if I were never human. They seem to believe the lycans are trying to trick them into something and that our story is a lie. We travel through a sparse forest for a few hours in silence before I catch a whiff of Lycan in the air. Dom slows and I can't help but smile since we have finally arrived at a pack instead of a city.Dom- Cora didn't visit hereTaylor- Good. I am excited to actually be welcomed somewhere.Dom- We might not be. Lihua didn't like the thought of human mates.

Taylor POV The group is nothing but tense as we travel back toward the city Pleck. Chris and his daughter are staying close to one another and their members are flanking them tightly almost as if they expect an ambush. Dom and I are traveling behind them watching their behavior closely.Cora told us she would meet us at Pleck when we contacted her earlier which made me both excited and anxious. I missed her and my other friends so much, but the fact that Dom insisted she came worried me. Dom- Cora is an hour from their walls. We are about three. She will stop and rest so we meet one another at the same time.Taylor- Do you except violence? Chris and his pack are acting as it it is inevitable. Dom- I suspect this city is on the verge of refusing help from Lycans. It has happened in the past. But it never ends well for the humans.Taylor- history seems to repeat it's self.Dom- No one likes to feel controlled. We don't and humans don't. Freedom is something we all want.I nod in a
