All Chapters of FATED TO THE ALPHA MATED FOR ETERNITY : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Heather stared at the ceiling beams, the quiet of the room pressing in around her.If Mom could see this day, she’d probably be crying happy tears and planning some ridiculous feast. Getting mated—really mated—was supposed to be the start of everything good, the kind of forever people wrote songs about. But after the accident took her parents, joy felt like something that belonged to other people. She’d gotten used to carrying the ache, though lately it had started to feel less like a punishment and more like a habit she could maybe set down.“So… what happens next?” she murmured.David’s thumb traced slow circles on the back of her hand. “You stop battling the heat like it’s your enemy. Fighting it only makes you miserable. It’s not supposed to be a war.”The idea of leaping straight from grudging acceptance to bodies crashing together in under an hour made her stomach flip. “You’re saying you want to seal it tonight? Right here?”He gave a small, crooked smile. “I want to. Badly. Bu

The sun had crept higher, turning the cabin’s single room gold and warm. Heather hadn’t moved from David’s arms yet. She stayed pressed against his chest, listening to the slow thud of his heart, trying to decide if the quiet felt like peace or just the eye of another storm.Seven days.Seven days of losing herself completely. Seven days of skin slick with sweat, of his hands mapping every inch of her like he was memorizing a treasure map, of her own voice breaking on his name over and over. She could still feel the ghost of him inside her—every thrust, every pulse, every time he’d whispered “mine” like a vow against her throat.Now the fever had finally broken.Her body hummed with a deep, unfamiliar satisfaction, muscles loose in a way they hadn’t been since before the world turned cruel. But her mind… her mind was a riot.She eased back just enough to look up at him. His eyes were open now, dark and watchful, but he didn’t speak. Just waited.“I remember everything,” she said quiet

The moon hung fat and silver over the ridge, spilling cold light across the cliff face. David’s wolf tore through the underbrush, claws digging into damp earth, lungs burning with every stride. He didn’t slow. Didn’t think. Just ran until the ache in his chest matched the fire in his legs.Heather’s face filled every corner of his mind. The way her voice cracked when she came—sharp, surprised, like she couldn’t believe her own pleasure. The crescent marks her nails left on his shoulders, stinging even now. The slick, impossible tightness of her the first time he pushed inside, how she’d clenched around him like she’d never let go.The taste of her after he’d spilled deep—sweet, salty, addictive. He’d licked her clean while she trembled, and she’d threaded her fingers through his hair like she was afraid he’d stop.They hadn’t used anything. Couldn’t have. The mating heat laughed at latex and caution. It was built for one thing: bonding. Breeding. The thought of her carrying his pup sh

He seized her wrist and gave it a firm shake. "I love every bit of what I see, and I refuse to let you keep up this harmful crap. No matter what you try, nothing's going to drive me off, so quit it." David guided her palm to his erection. "See what you do to me, Heather? You're the only thing on my mind. One glance at you, and all I want is to bury myself inside you."She pulled back and walked around him slowly. He sensed her fingers trailing when she was at his back, then sliding along his bicep as she faced him again. "You've got me now," she murmured."Yeah, I do.""So, what's your plan for me?"His gaze sharpened, a rush of dirty ideas flooding in. "I'm gonna claim you rough. Flip you over that fallen trunk and pound into you until you know my devotion's rock solid. Get over here," he ordered.She edged nearer, so close he could feel the warmth radiating from her body. David clutched the back of her neck and yanked her into a deep kiss.Not some casual peck, but a vow, a pledge,

“So … this is your bedroom.” Heather glanced around the spacious room, taking in the dark wooden furniture and the faint scent of pine that lingered in the air. She couldn’t quite figure out how David had whisked them from the depths of the forest straight back to his house and up to this private space without a single pack member interrupting. It was like he’d planned every step. Nervously, she tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and spun to face her mate, catching him in the act.His eyes snapped up from where they’d been fixed lower, and she let out a soft laugh despite the butterflies in her stomach. “Were you just staring at my ass?” she teased, trying to lighten the moment.“What can I say? It’s one of my favorite views,” he replied with a grin that sent her pulse racing. But beneath the playfulness, she felt a surge of doubt. Was everything moving too quickly? They’d barely caught their breath from what happened outside, and now here they were, alone in his territory.
