Semua Bab Soul Bonding : Bab 11 - Bab 17

Time passes unbearably slowly. Though we are patient men, two hours of waiting is too much. Alexei, Roman, Leon, and Sergei also feel the discomfort of the delay, though they try to hide it. We sit with our legs spread and arms crossed, ready to stand up and demand they bring Natalia to us.We didn’t have time to buy new suits for the occasion or to plan many details—only to ensure that everything essential was ready for the bonding. We’re wearing our official uniforms, the ones we only wear for special ceremonies. We also acquired Natalia’s wedding dress, her jewelry, and made the reservation at the hotel where the consummation ceremony will take place. The most important parts were covered. Only she was missing, and the delay exasperates me. I clench my jaw as I stare at the bonding program supervisor, who pretends to be calm, but his discomfort is evident. He tries to mask his nervousness with respect, avoiding our eyes. Of course, he thinks we don’t notice. But we do as our inner

Seeing her at the altar took my breath away.Natalia looked exquisite. Her white dress, modest yet fitted in all the right places, accentuated her curves without exaggeration. No fabric or jewelry could outshine her natural beauty. I knew she would draw every eye in the room, and that filled me with a discomfort that shouldn’t be there. I shouldn’t feel this way. We had just bonded before the mortals, and already this unease was twisting in my chest like slow-acting poison. It was absurd.She was already ours in the eyes of society. Her signature was on the document, the ring on her finger, the tracker on her wrist. There was no reason for this discomfort to eat away at me… and yet it did.Roman, as always, noticed it first. His posture turned more alert. Pavel, without saying a word, made sure to mark his territory with nothing more than his presence. And I wasn’t the only one who felt it.From the moment we entered the hotel, I saw the stares directed at her. Stares that had no plac

Pavel and I looked at each other, sharing a silent agreement that needed no words. We knew what we had to do. We didn’t snatch her away with violence or separate her from the group abruptly. Instead, we claimed her with a firm, undeniable gesture.Pavel moved first. His imposing presence stepped between her and the others with calculated precision, becoming an insurmountable barrier that isolated her from the rest. His fingers securely caught her wrist, guiding her toward him with the confidence of someone who expected not resistance, but surrender. Natalia let out a soft sigh when her body collided with his, his firm chest becoming an anchor in the midst of uncertainty.I moved in behind her, my hands gliding precisely to her waist. I felt her shiver as we trapped her between us, her back fitting against my torso while Pavel held her from the front. We enveloped her in our presence, in our will. Together, we claimed her with a cocoon of caresses and silent dominance."Our women," I m

Pavel and Alexei showed no remorse, while Roman, Leon, and Sergei remained in the shadows, watching us closely. They didn’t intervene, but the anticipation on their faces was unmistakable."We became obsessed with you," Pavel admitted bluntly. "From the moment you stepped into that meeting, we knew who you were to us—and we weren’t going to let another clan claim you."I tried to pull away from them, but the pleasure still held me captive. Every movement only reignited the sensation, sending jolts of electricity through me."Why…?" I tried to speak, but Alexei grabbed my waist and held me tightly against his chest."I already explained it to you—you’re our fated mate," he murmured against my ear. "There’s a reason our profile showed 100% compatibility with yours. And when the meeting was requested, it was you who agreed to meet men like us. You didn’t care who we were, even knowing what our profession involved."My breath caught."Are you blaming me for this? They only told me you wer
