chapter 201

When he turns to shoot me an apologetic smile, I breathe a little easier that it’s his deep green eyes I’m meeting, and not his wolf’s lighter green.“I know, I’m sorry for growling.”“It’s okay. I wanted to know whether Kier is coming back to the cabin after…” My voice trails off because I’m still not sure what happened back there. “His fight, I guess, with those shifters. Or if he’s going back to his cabin?”Marshall snorts. “It’ll be no fight, baby. When he learned those shifters had taken you, he was ready to kill me just for wanting to help.”“I don’t understand. How did he know? And how did he know to bring candles and firewood?”“He heard a howl, but he didn’t immediately recognize the wolf, but later he did. By the time he drove out, wanting to make sure you’d gotten home safe, it was the next day, and the fight was over. He found the truck on the side of the road and tracked us to this cabin. He said we were sleeping when he got here, so he headed back to his cabin to grab so

I watch Marshall with his hand on the door, and I know I’m not going to let him go.“You’ll be safe here while I run to Kier’s cabin. I’ll call Luka to come and pick you up, then I’ll wait outside until he gets here,” he says.“No.”Marshall pauses. “I won’t wait outside if you want, I’ll just—”“That isn’t what I meant.”I steel myself for what I hope isn’t a stupid idea that’ll blow up in my face. “I meant, no, I don’t want you to leave.”He sighs, his back still to me. “It’s for the best, Jellybean.”“Then maybe I should find a mate who will fit me better.”Marshall’s back tenses, and he tightens his grip on the door handle. “Fit you better?”Even though he can’t see me, I nod. “Yes, maybe the problem is that you’re too dominant. Maybe I need a mate who is more… in control of his wolf. Not Kier, since he’s Alpha.”I get up from the bed.He tilts his head a little but still doesn’t turn to face me. “What do you mean, and where are you going?”I keep talking as if he didn’t interrupt

chapter 203

Marshall doesn’t have to ask what I want. It’s clear when I wrap my arms and legs around him and turn my attention to his throat.He buries his hand in my hair, gripping me and holding me there. “Fuck, I should stop you. I shouldn’t…”His voice trails off and ends in a growl as I trail a line of kisses over his throat.“Baby…” His voice is a husky growl, as needy as I feel.I nip his throat, and in response, he thrusts hard enough for me to lift my head and cry out. For a single breath, I don’t move as my stomach tightens, warning me how close I am to finding my release.Not yet.I peel my eyes open and kiss the spot on Marshall’s neck that I want to bite.Marshall’s grip on me turns almost painful. I lap at his pulse, and my wolf growls her pleasure at the taste, the scent, the feel of her mate. Already, before he’s even bitten me, he feels like mine.How can that be?My wolf refuses to let me ponder it for long. She growls again. Is surprisingly vocal about her desire, about her nee

The next morning, as I’m still stirring, Marshall rolls me onto my back and slides back inside me.I don’t open my eyes yet, but I let the smile in my heart out and I just feel.“This,” Marshall murmurs with a husky note in his voice, his lips brushing against mine, “this is my idea of heaven. Being inside you, you have that smile on your face.”I open my eyes and slip my arms around his shoulders, my smile growing. “Well, my idea of heaven involves body wash. And a hot shower.”Marshall kisses me, his hips slowly tunneling inside me with easy strokes, making me moan, a sound he swallows.When he lifts his head a short time later, I nearly drag him right back.His lips curve in a faint smile. “But not me?”“Depends on if you’ll wash my back.”He grumbles, but his eyes are still laughing. Without warning, he rolls until I’m straddling him.At the heavy fullness of him invading me, I still. “Marshall,” I moan, placing my hands on his chest as I work to control my breathing.“For that,”

chapter 205

After we make love in front of the fire and then later in the stream, we clean up the cabin and put the fire out before shifting so we can run back to Kier’s cabin.Along the way, we play a little, racing and wrestling in the quiet forest on what is a fresh and mild late morning. At least I think it’s morning. It could be afternoon, but since I’ve lost all awareness of time, I have no clue.But before long, we arrive at Kier’s cabin. Without us having to knock, Kier is swinging the door open, looking relaxed in a flannel shirt, black jeans, and bare feet.After Marshall and I shift and slip into sweats that Kier leaves out for us, I’m ready to go home despite his offer of a shower and a meal. Marshall isn’t eager to stay either, and it isn’t hard to work out why.Even though we’re mates now, Marshall’s narrowed-eyed stare if I venture too close to Kier gives him away, until I grab his hand and tuck myself under his shoulder. At that point, he stops glowering, not that Kier seems to no

chapter 206

Kier starts his engine.“It will be there. No one drives down this road since it doesn’t really lead anywhere. Mainly, it’s the tourists who are staying in the cabins nearby.”When Marshall drapes his arm around my shoulder, I snuggle against him as Kier pulls out of his garage. He’s driving down the narrow road that I had such trouble finding when I glimpse something in the forest that has me sitting up.“Jenna?” Marshall murmurs when I duck under his shoulder so I can slide closer to the passenger-side window.I peer into the forest but see nothing but trees.“I thought I saw someone. A woman.”“A woman?” Kier sounds confused.I lean around Marshall so I can see him better.“Yeah. I think she had dark hair. Not like—”I stop, because I have a feeling he’s not going to want to talk about this, and I’m proven right when his expression turns blank.“I mean, I didn’t recognize her.”Marshall tucks me back under his shoulder, and I can’t help but smile at this new overprotectiveness.“Th

Chapter 207

Despite Kier saying he would think about coming to our mating ceremony, I’m not surprised when he doesn’t attend the midnight ceremony a few days later. Our brief meeting hasn’t left me with the impression he likes to be around people.Still, the night is as simple and as perfect as I was hoping. Marshall and I wear white. Him in a pair of white trousers and nothing else, while I’m in a plain white dress that hits my knees and my hair loose.The moonlight shines brightly overhead as, surrounded by our pack and family, Marshall and I invite the pack to share their joy with us as a newly mated pair.This is nothing like the moon-blessing ceremony that Talis and Dayne had. Those haven’t been popular in years. Decades. Or maybe in some packs they still are, I don’t know.But this version doesn’t involve me and Marshall having sex in front of everyone. This is the Blackshaw moon-blessing ceremony. An event where it’s as much about the pack celebrating the love and coming together of a newl

chapter 208

His eyes go heavy-lidded as the position brings my core flush against his hard length. “Marshall?” I ignore him stroking my hip for the moment. “Yes, Jellybean?” “How did you do this? I mean, you had to work today.” He shakes his head. “No, I didn’t.” “But you…” My voice trails off as I realize he must’ve been planning this for several days at least. I wasn’t happy when he told me we’d be coming to view a house today, the day after our mating ceremony when I’d hoped to spend it all day in bed with him. I was even less thrilled when he told me that he had to go deal with a car emergency in town. “There was no emergency in town.” Again, he shakes his head. “Nope.” My eyes go to his overalls. “But you got dressed.” “Disguise, baby. Disguise.” “So, you came here to set up?” “No, it was too far. I met up with Gavin to make sure he could get everything done. I didn’t want to leave the candles burning for too long.” I raise my head again to take in the cabin. Of course,
