Rita felt a swelling in her body whereas before she just felt gelatinous. Now she was being filled with a sense of power that began to overwhelm her. She felt the enormity of Jayce’s love for her. Behind her eyes, she saw flashes of his memories of their times together and what he loved most about her. She even saw another projection of her carrying a belly ripe with his pup. Her hormones came raging to life, spurting arousal from her pussy. Her body registered his bite, and when her eyes opened, they were glowing with the power of her wolf. Her body jerked off the bed as his bite sent her over the edge causing her to orgasm without him having to even touch her intimately. She screamed as her spirit latched itself back to her body, and the mating bond was halfway knit together. The moment Jayce let go of her thigh, Rita popped up. She sat on his lap, wrapping her legs around his waist. He titled his head to the side giving her access to the side of his neck and shoulder. She wasted no time biting down hard on his shoulder. Jayce jerked as the mating bond sealed together. All at once, the both of them were enveloped in each other’s essence. They could feel each other’s wants and desires and their life forces. Jayce was racked with sobs at feeling his mate alive and within him when just moments ago he was holding her limp body in his arms. Rita felt his sorrow. She let her teeth recede and looked into his eyes before she kissed him deeply, pushing her tongue into his mouth trying to savor the taste of her mate.
I’m alive, baby. Don’t cry anymore, she said into his mind. She raised her hips and aligned herself with his arousal before sinking down on his length. He hissed in pleasure and guided her hips up and down his shaft. Her muscles clamped around his shaft as pleasure took hold of her. Jayce was so wound up he couldn’t control himself. He rose up on his knees, holding her under her bottom, so she didn’t fall off his shaft. He switched their positions, making them fall onto the bed with her under him. He held her legs open at the crook of his elbows and continued stroking her deeply. She used her claws and marked him up and down his back, and Jayce didn’t even care. He pushed her over the edge, fucking her as deeply as he possibly could.
He’d lost her. She had died in his arms. And the fact that he could do this with her now made him want to give her his all. He wanted to make love to her until he was physically weak. He pressed her legs against her chest until her knees were touching her ears. Her cries of ecstasy filled their large room in the luxury cave. He felt her pleasure through their pulsing mating bond. It allowed for him to know just when she was hitting her peak.
Pressing her further into a ball; his hips slammed against her and he continued to thrust powerfully. Her walls were gushing and making slurping sounds to the beat of his strokes.
“Fuck Jayce! I’m coming,” she screamed. Jayce let out a string of his own curses as her walls gripped him tight in her orgasm. Feeling her pleasure plus his own pleasure nearly made him pop like a balloon, but he pulled out of her quickly to save himself. Her legs flopped down as her chest rose up and down slowly.
“Rita,” he called her name fiercely. She picked up her head and locked eyes with him. He felt like it was too good to be true. Like he was delirious and his mate wasn’t laying in front of him; exhausted from an orgasm. But she looked into his eyes. Their bond made both of their eyes glow. He crawled up her body never averting his eyes. She didn’t break eye contact either as slowly rested her head back the closer up her body he got. When he hovered above her; he pressed his arousal to her opening and slipped inside of her.
“I’ll never live without you Rita,” he breathed as he stroked her slowly.
“You die. And I die.” She gasped and clawed his back as he surged deeper into her channel.
“You’re mine. Forever,” he growled.
“Forever,” she whispered as her body trembled as tiny orgasms tingled through her.
“You feel so fucking good,” he whimpered almost on the verge of tears. Completing the bond with your mate brought forth so many emotions Jayce felt like he was about to erupt. To fell her essence completely and to be giving her his essence was indescribable.
“Come for me,” she gasped out. Jayce shook his head violently.
“No. I don’t want this to ever end.” And that was true. Not after almost losing her the way he did. He wanted this moment to last forever. Using her strength; Rita pushed them over. Jayce allowed for her to get on top. He held her at the hips as she began grinding on his engorged shaft.
“I’m here now,” she breathed as she rocked her hips. Planting her hands flat against his chest; she began to bounce hard on his shaft loving the way he glided in and out of her.
“You don’t have to hold it,” she moaned. “I’ll always be here Jayce. I won’t ever leave you.” Jayce’s stomach clenched.
“No I have to hold it,” he gritted. Rita grabbed him under the chin and squeezed his cheeks together. She glared harder into his eyes.
“Give in to my love Jayce. And I promise I’ll be your mate forever. We’ll grow old together.” Jayce turned them onto their side in a fast motion. He tongued her down as he drew her close to his body and hooked her top leg over the crook in his elbow.
“Forever?” He asked as if he didn’t believe her. His hips grinded against her as he stroked her deeply.
“Forever,” she breathed in confirmation. She lifted her head giving him her neck. He embedded his teeth into her soft flesh; moaning as his strokes sped up. Unable to hold it and believing her words; Jayce finally let go. His back bowed, his toes curled, and his body trembled as he released himself deep inside her. She cried out in pleasure as his orgasm triggered another one of hers, his bite amplifying her pleasure.
For a moment the both of them lay still; just breathing through their passion. Jayce unlatched his teeth from her neck and licked the bite.
“You thought you were gonna be fucking me all night?” she asked. “Are you crazy?!” Rita asked. Immediately Jayce had to laugh. His mate was alive. Jayce cracked a smile as he looked at her beautiful face.
“Do you smell that?” he asked. She took a deep breath, inhaling. A large smile came over her face.
“Our scents mixed together,” she replied. Jayce rested his forehead against hers.
“How did I come back?” Rita asked. “It was silver.”
“Mira. She did some tribal native type shit.” Rita moved her head so she could look at the scar on her chest.
“Another scar.” She sighed. “But I’d rather be scarred for life if I could get to spend that life with you.” Jayce kissed her on the lips. Now they were officially mated, and the both of them felt within each other that they were ready to start their lives together as a mated couple.

Bliss was pacing the kitchen while everyone was sitting and eating. She didn’t have an appetite. She was worried about Rita. She felt Rita’s pulse, but she didn’t know if what Mira did would make Rita a killer zombie or make Rita crazy because she didn’t understand why she was pulled from the afterlife. Even though she was weak, Mira was waiting in the kitchen with them to hear if Rita would be alright. From the tunnels, Bliss heard Jayce speaking softly to someone, and then both Rita and Jayce emerged from the tunnels. Their mixed scent bloomed like a flower in Bliss’ nose. Bliss sighed the hardest she’d ever sighed and ran over to Rita hugging her tightly.
“Oh, my God.” she breathed.
“Thank goodness you’re alright.” Rita chuckled.
“Thanks, Bliss.” Everyone came up to hug Rita and Jayce congratulating them on their mating. Once that was done, Rita went over to Mira. She bowed down as a show of respect.
“Thank you, Mira,” she said. Mira bowed as well showing Rita the same respect.
“Does anyone know who was shooting at us?” Jayce asked.
“Dell wasn’t able to find them,” Kellan replied.
“Well, we need to-” Bliss was cut off by a searing of pain through her abdomen. Her eyes went wide. She looked at Mira who smiled and nodded at her.
“Told you,” Mira said.
“Oh, no,” Bliss moaned. She doubled over as her heating cycle began. All the male wolves jumped to attention as the force of her arousal hit them hard. Kellan grabbed her up by the waist and ran off with her through the tunnels to their room. The moment she was gone, the waves of arousal disappeared.
“Looks like the cave walls are thick enough to block the effects of the heating cycle,” Jayce commented.
“Thankfully,” Tristan mumbled. He glanced at Gemma before looking away. Gemma just shook her head and looked at Rita.
“I hope she gets pregnant,” Gemma said.
“I know you wants pups.” She looked at Rita.
“Yeah, I do, but there’s no rush. I am after all the Beta female. I need to be around to help this guy out,” Rita said poking Jayce with her elbow. Jayce smiled and slung his arm around her shoulder before leading her out of the kitchen and back towards their bedroom. Jaxson scooped Mira up from the chair, and Kyra followed him to take Mira back to her room to rest.
That left Tristan and Gemma alone. They looked at each other for a long while. Gemma wanted nothing but to crawl up his body and position herself over his length and ride him while he was standing.
“We have to mate each other, you know that right?” she asked. “I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be in pain.”
“Don’t worry about it,” he replied smoothly. Dell and his wolves came into the kitchen ending Gemma’s alone time with her mate. Dell looked at her and smiled, while one of his wolves did the same. Gemma smiled at the submissive wolf before she left the kitchen. Tristan noticed the interaction between them and didn’t say a word, but he was going to keep his eye on it. Tristan walked by the wolf making sure to bump into him for intimidation before he continued to get to the cellar so he could work out.
Once Tristan was gone, Dell snapped his jaws at his wolf. He growled in his anger.
“What in the fuck were you looking at Gemma like that for?” Dell growled at him.
“What you think?” Niles replied. “She’s a gorgeous wolf, and my wolf likes her.”
“Yeah, well, she’s off limits.”
“Why? ‘Cause Tristan?”
“He’ll kill you,” Dell stated.
“I’ll take my chances.” Niles shrugged.
“Gemma is almost worth dying for. Besides, it won’t take much to get her seen as her own damn mate don’t want her.”

Hera followed the cloaked stranger to a small hut clear across the woods. It wasn’t a well-traveled place in the woods and seemingly perfect for someone who wanted to hide. The moment the stranger pulled his cloak from over his head, Hera dropped down from the trees.
“Don’t move.” She ordered. The stranger stood frozen.
“I saw what you did to Kellan and his pack and the conversation you had with Dell.”
“You always seemed so smart, Hera,” he said. Hera nearly jumped.
“How the hell you know my name?” she asked.
“Because I studied every and anything regarding wolves and their packs. Because I wanted it so bad.”
“Turn around.” Hera ordered. But he didn’t.
“Hera, do you want to join me? Do you want power? Do you want to take back what others have ripped from you?”
“Yes…” Hera responded slowly.
“I think we have a great need for each other,” he said.
“And I believe this is the universe’s way of bringing us together.” Slowly, he turned around. Hera fought the scream that came out of her mouth when she saw his mangled features. He was scarred horribly and looked like his face was going to fall off his bones. Through the severity of his features, Hera recognized the man.
“You’re-you’re Bliss’s father.” Hera gasped. “Bryce.”
“Yes. Maverick promised me something and deceived me. Unfortunately, the Phoenix pack killed him before I could. Bliss was given the power of something I wanted badly while I was left like this, and I plan on making her life and that of her pack a living hell.” He held his hand out.
“Come. There is a lot for us to learn. A lot for us to plan. I’m sure you want a front row seat to the demise of the Phoenix pack.” Hera looked at his outstretched hand for a moment before she took it. He smiled at her through his torn up face and laughed manically.
