Mated At Last
LYLA
I can’t believe this is happening.
The Priest of the Moon presided over the ceremony, his baritone voice going through the ancient rites one by one. But I honestly couldn’t hear them.
The world around me fell away.
I didn’t see any of the beautiful decorations that Teresa had put up in the barn.
I didn’t notice the crowd of friends and family watching with tearful eyes.
I barely even remembered my own name.
All I saw was my mate standing before me, his beautiful eyes filled with love. And this gorgeous man was mine and mine alone.
“Lyla?” the priest asked me.
I blinked, snapping out of my trance. I realized he was waiting for me to say something.
“Um, I do?”
A smattering of laughter rang out from the crowd.
“Your vows,” he said gently, smiling.
Oh.
My face felt like it was on fire. I took a deep breath.
Don’t screw this up, Lyla.
“I’m not very good at things like this…public speaking and all.” I looked up at him and smiled. “But I guess I’ll have to get used to it now that I’m going to be the luna of the Royal Pack.”
Sebastian winked at me, and butterflies fluttered in my stomach.
I used to be so unsure of what I wanted, but standing there in front of him, I had no doubt in my mind that I’d made the right choice.
Finally, my head and heart had connected.
“Before I met you, I was just a normal girl. There was nothing special about me. I kept to myself… I read my books… I was forcefully dragged outside by my friends.”
I shot Teresa a glance, and she blew me a kiss as the crowd chuckled. Caspian stood next to her, a genuine smile on his face. He looked so happy for me, and that put my heart at ease.
“But you showed me an entirely new world, Sebastian.” I intertwined my fingers with his. “Since I met you I’ve discovered so much about myself. We’ve endured heartache and pain. We’ve navigated the darkest, most moonless nights.”
I blinked back tears.
“You are my guiding light. You’ve shown me that I can be strong. You’ve shown me that I can be brave…and…”
I took a deep, shaky breath.
“You’ve shown me that I’m worthy of love. My heart is for you and you alone.”
Sebastian smiled at me, and I saw tears misting his eyes for the first time. My heart felt so full that I was sure it would burst.
The priest turned to Sebastian.
“I’ve been known to be a bit of a hothead,” he began.
I giggled, and our families laughed along.
“I get frustrated easily. I’m ruled by my emotions. I charge forward recklessly—usually to the annoyance of my faithful council.”
We heard Tiberius and Caius clear their throats, and a big smile spread over Sebastian’s face.
“But you make me better,” he said. “You are my soft summer’s breeze. You are the wildflowers that bloom in the spring. You pull at my soul as surely as the moon holds the gentle crash of waves on the shore.
“I love you, Lyla. I’ve always loved you and will always love you.”
Tears of happiness spilled down my cheeks. I couldn’t hold them back anymore.
“Do you, Lyla, take Sebastian as your mate eternally, like the moon hangs forever in our sky?”
“I do,” I said.
“Do you, Sebastian, promise to uphold this bond, even through the darkest nights?”
“I do,” he said.
“Then, underneath the gaze of the Moon Goddess, I now pronounce you mates.”
Sebastian took my face in his hands and kissed me.
His kiss was a promise for the future.
His kiss felt like coming home.
Only when we pulled apart did I hear the cheering and clapping from our family and friends. Things couldn’t be more perfect.
“I guess I’m your luna now,” I said.
“Not quite yet.” He winked and leaned down so he could whisper into my ear. “We still have to consummate our bond.”
I felt my core clench with desire.
I’m in for a wild night…
SEBASTIAN
I carried Lyla over the pack house threshold, kicking the door closed behind me.
Our mating ceremony had been magical. We’d danced and eaten and drunk the night away with our closest family and friends.
But now it’s time for the two of us to be alone.
I laid Lyla down on our bed, wildflower petals scattered across the sheets. Candles already burned low all around us, providing a soft, intimate glow.
Lyla looked like a goddess in her dress. The picture of elegance and purity.
And I can’t wait to see her out of it.
She smiled coyly up at me as she batted her eyelashes.
“So, Alpha Sebastian…what happens now?” she asked innocently.
I crawled up the bed toward her and ran my hands up her calves, hiking the skirt of her dress upward.
She bit her lip as I traced my fingers along her creamy thighs.
“Now, my luna, we have a sacred duty to attend to.” I planted kisses up her leg. “We have to complete our union in the eyes of the Moon Goddess.”
I was on top of her now, our lips inches apart. She looked up at me, her eyes shining in the glow of the candlelight.
“Then what are you waiting for?” She wrapped her arms around my neck. “Hurry up and complete me.”
I brought my lips crashing down on hers, our passion igniting like an inferno.
Months of pent-up energy exploded outward all at once as our tongues wrestled for dominance. She ripped at my tuxedo and I tore at her dress.
I was dizzy with desire. Drunk off of lust. I burned up with my want for Lyla, and with the way she was grinding her hips into mine…she was only fueling the flames.
I finally got her dress off, and I took a moment to admire her body. My eyes drank in the sweat on her neck, the swell of her perfect breasts, the curve of her waist…
“You’re beautiful.”
LYLA
I melted underneath Sebastian’s smoldering gaze.
It was time for us to finally give ourselves to each other, all of ourselves.
But I wasn’t afraid. I wanted nothing more than for him to mark me. I wanted us to finally become one.
I could feel my lust dripping down my thighs.
I reached down and held the heft of his cock in my hands, feeling the weight of it.
This massive thing is supposed to fit inside of me?
I guided his manhood to my sex, then ground up and down along its length. His shaft rubbed against my clit, and it drove me wild.
“Fuck, Lyla,” he groaned, his voice husky. The sound of it sent goosebumps racing along my body. I locked gazes with him, and the love and desire I saw in his eyes mirrored mine.
“I’m ready,” I said.
Sebastian nodded and wrapped me in the fortress of his arms, holding me tight. I’d never felt safer than I did at that moment.
Sebastian’s lips touched my shoulder lightly, then I felt his teeth sink into my skin right as his shaft sank into my sex.
And slowly, ever so slowly, we became one.
Pain shot up into my core and radiated out through my entire body. I cried out, tears springing to my eyes.
Sebastian pulled his teeth from my shoulder. “Are you okay?”
I nodded, taking a few deep breaths. “Give me a second.” I closed my eyes, focusing on the feeling of Sebastian’s arms around me. Of his warmth and his love enveloping me.
Our hearts began to beat as one, and the pain slowly faded away.
“Keep going,” I said.
Sebastian began to rock his hips back and forth, and each movement had me seeing stars. “Oh, Goddess!” I cried out as his cock hit a spot I didn’t even know existed.
I felt myself clamp around his shaft, and he growled, deep and guttural in my ear. “Do that again,” he said.
I obeyed, and I felt him twitch inside of me, making me gasp.
Sebastian steadily picked up his pace, plunging himself inside of me faster and faster. We built into a rhythm, our bodies moving as one.
I clawed at the muscles on his back, relishing the feeling of his weight on top of me.
I pulled myself up and bit into his shoulder, and he cried out in pleasure.
We’d both left our marks, and it felt like our connection had intensified even more.
Pressure was rising inside of my core, a massive orgasm that Sebastian kept building up to with every thrust of his massive cock.
My breath came in ragged gasps.
I was so light-headed I thought I would pass out.
I wrapped my arms and my legs around Sebastian as he pounded into me, and I could only brace myself as he sent me over the edge.
“Sebastian!” I moaned. “I think…I think I’m going to—”
“Cum for me,” he ordered, his deep voice sending me over the edge.
I moaned as I came, my pussy convulsing and squeezing around Sebastian’s cock. Pulses of intense pleasure radiated out to the tips of my toes, to my fingertips, all the way to the crown of my skull.
Sebastian grunted as he came, and I felt his hot seed splash deep inside of me.
The sensation was enough to send me screaming into another orgasm.
We collapsed in a heap of sweat and tangled limbs.
I was so lost in the afterglow that I didn’t know where I ended and he began.
Sebastian hugged me impossibly closer, and I snuggled into his chest.
“That was…” I shook my head, breathless and at a loss for words.
“I agree.”
We laughed, and the moment couldn’t have been more perfect.
“So how does it feel to officially be the luna of the Royal Pack?”
“It feels amazing,” I snuggled in closer to him. I began to trace small circles into his chest with my finger. I felt him stiffen, and I smiled into his skin. “But I’m not sure I really got the feel for things yet…”
My fingers wandered down his abs, tracing the chiseled V-line of his pelvis…
“Can you show me again what it’s like to be your luna?” I purred. I grabbed his already rock-hard cock, stroking him up and down. “I’m not sure I got the message the first time…”
Sebastian pulled me on top of him, a devilish smile on his lips.
“Then I guess we’ll have to do it again.” He squeezed my ass, making me squeal. “And again…and again…and again…”
There was a sudden flash of bright light at the foot of the bed. I gasped in surprise as Sebastian immediately flipped us around so I was underneath him.
He was up in a defensive posture immediately, his fingernails sharpening to claws.
Are we under attack?!
But as I looked around I didn’t see any attacking rogues or witches. In fact, all there was was a small envelope covered in platinum filigree on the foot of the bed.
I saw Sebastian’s eyes widen in surprise as he saw it. He leaned over and grabbed the envelope, quickly reading the letter held within.
His expression got darker and darker as he read, and my heart began to beat harder as anxiety swelled inside of me.
“What is it?” I asked.
Sebastian didn’t only look angry.
He looked furious.
“You’re being summoned to the Holy City,” he told me, his voice flat.
What?!
“By who?” I asked.
Sebastian’s intense eyes locked with mine.
“By the Moon Goddess herself...”
