“What? Are you sure?”
She knew that members of the Midnight Guardians pack have abilities, but she didn’t know she can get it as well. This mate bond brought her a hot mate, mind-blowing orgasms, and now abilities as well? It was getting better by the minute!
Tyler confirmed. “My venom carries my DNA and the potential of awakening your ability. We are not allowed to mark our mates unless we explain this and get permission. It sounds great when you think about the possibility of flying or moving things with your mind, but some abilities are more a hindrance than useful. However, no matter what your ability will be, it will change your life forever, so you should know what you are getting yourself into. In the outside world, our members are hunted by people who want to figure out the secrets behind our abilities, and how to get in here. We stay inside this realm for our safety, and when we go out, it’s always in groups, with GPS devices, following predetermined routes and schedule, so that in case something happens, our people can find us.”
“I see”, Sandy said thoughtfully. She already heard about witches and breeding, so that was not new. However, now it concerned not only her mate, but her as well, so the threat became more real.
But Sandy was a capable warrior, working closely with Dayson and Talia, the two most powerful Alphas, and who will dare to mess with her?
Sandy remembered Talia’s demonstration when she glowed, and the tornado when they dispelled the dark magic and she wondered if she will be able to do something magically-cool.
Sandy looked at the man who was holding her hands and anxiously waiting for her to say something.
“What is your ability?”, she asked.
“I don’t know.”, Tyler admitted. “Our abilities awaken after we give our first time to our fated mate.”
Sandy’s mouth formed a big ‘O’ as she understood how that’s why they were keeping themselves pure. She thought it was for romantic reasons, yet it turned into something practical.
“So?”, Tyler asked, and licked his lips nervously before asking, “Do I have your permission to mark you?”
Sandy inhaled a shaky breath. It is happening! “Yes.”
Tyler pushed Sandy to lay on her back with his body and stared into her blue-green eyes.
“You are perfect, Sasa.”, he said with all the seriousness in the world. “Thank you for expressing your willingness to wear my mark and bear the consequences. No matter what your ability will be, I promise, we will go through it together.”
“And no matter what awaits for us in the future, I will stay by your side.”, she said, feeling the need to assure him that she will carry her weight in their relationship that just started, yet both of them were confident it will last forever.
Tyler hummed in approval. “You have no idea how happy I am that I’ve found you.”
Sandy raised her hips to press herself against his erection, making him groan in response.
“I think I have an idea.”, she said cockily.
“Oh, Sasa…”, Tyler murmured while getting lost in her green-blue eyes that contained his whole world. “I endured so much alone, and I want to make up for it. Are you ready?”
Sandy’s insides trembled as arousal swelled within her. Was she ready? She was born ready! “Don’t make it sound like you were the only one waiting. I watched my friends and family find their mates, wondering when my turn will come, and here you are.”
“Here I am.”, he confirmed.
His hips moved, and Sandy’s mouth opened in a gasp when his hard and hot cock glided between her drenched folds.
Tyler loved seeing her dazed expression as she was drowning in lust. Because of him.
His lips covered hers to swallow her moans, determined to fuck her, feed her, and they will have sex every day, and he will never sleep alone again!
His tip pressed at her entrance and they both froze, their intense gazes locked on each other as both breathed heavily in anticipation of what was to come.
Tyler grinned. “I want to hear you scream my name, and then I will mark you, and the rest of our lives will begin. How does that sound?”
Sandy’s fingers laced behind his neck. “It sounds wonderful.” And then she pulled herself up to kiss his lips and take in his flavors of freshly made pancakes that came with a generous dose of maple syrup. Her favorites.
“Fuck!”, she cursed into his mouth when he entered her in one powerful jab that stretched her just right, and then she clawed at his back in an attempt to get him closer to her.
Tyler smiled into the kiss. Fuck. Exactly. He was doing it! And it was fantastic!
After dinner, Axel and Yasmin led the group to a lake.
It was a fifteen minutes-long walk that passed in friendly chatter.
Talia noticed that some members of the Midnight Guardians pack were following them. It felt awkward because they were keeping their distance, but she knew that they were curious about her and Dayson, yet staying away out of respect, so she pretended not to see them.
No one talked about swimming, but it was an opportunity to spend time outside, see the area, and enjoy the night scenery with the lake as a backdrop.
The forest ended abruptly to open into a narrow clearing that was covered in grass and occasional protruding rocks before it melded into a calm lake that glistened under the moonlight.
Talia smiled at the sight. It was beautiful.
They all sat on the rocks and ground and chattered.
Yasmin and Cornelia were talking about the outside world with James and Axel listening.
Kai and Meg were asking Keith and Liam about Sandy because Meg wanted to prepare a welcoming party for Sandy.
Talia thought how that was cute. “Do you normally arrange a welcome for new members?”
Meg was not sure. Other than Yasmin, no one else joined the Midnight Guardians pack after her, but… “I am thinking about my experience. Everyone had their duties and routine, and with my ability flaring out of control and breaking things randomly, it was tough. If not for Kai, I would be totally lost. I want to do something to let Sandy know that her presence is appreciated and how besides her mate, other people are also happy she is here.”
“That’s so sweet of you, Meg.”, Talia said. “Let me know if I can help you with this.”
Meg needed a moment to come up with an idea. “The big lounge in the main building. We can invite Elders and anyone who has some rank and introduce Sandy officially, and when that’s done and guests leave, then just our circle can continue in an intimate setting with fruit cocktails and roasted marshmallows. Something homey.”
Dayson shook his head in disapproval. “Sandy is a warrior. If you want to make her feel at home, instead of cute cocktails and gooey chocolates, we should have a hunt.”
‘I could use a hunt!’, Liseli shouted in Talia’s mind and Talia felt excitement swelling inside her. Her wolf wanted to stretch her paws, probably with Sapa, and Talia couldn’t ignore her.
“Hunt sounds like a good idea.”, Talia said and looked at Dayson. “How about we add a competition for some fun and bragging rights?”
Dayson was up for the challenge. “Do you have something on your mind?”
Keith made a face. “If Alphas are competing, we might as well sit this one out.”
Meg agreed with Keith. Alphas are faster and stronger, with sharper senses, but she liked the hunt idea, just like anyone else. Was there a way to level out the field?
“We can come up with goals for the hunt.”, Meg suggested.
That got Liam’s attention. “What animals do you have here? Maybe we can mark a few in advance, and only those would count toward the final score.”
“And if we hurt an unmarked animal, then the score will be deducted.”, Keith chimed in.
Meg’s eyes lit up, obviously in approval of this twist. “How should we mark them?”
“Make sure that mark doesn’t leave a scent and it’s not a physical object that can be seen because that will allow your Alpha to cheat.”, Axel said teasingly from the side.
Talia blinked at him when she realized he was talking about her. “You think I will cheat?”
Axel shrugged. “When the competitiveness kicks in and you see that you are losing, anything is possible.”
Talia puffed her cheeks in protest, but she didn’t comment on it. Talia and Liseli would love to win and impress Dayson and Sapa, but would they cheat?
“Talia”, Axel called. “While they are planning the hunt, can we have a word?” He tilted his head to the side, telling her that they should step away and talk in privacy.
“Of course”, Talia responded and stood up from the rock with Dayson right behind her. He had no intention of leaving her on her own. Not anymore.
Talia smiled at the clingy Alpha and took his hand into hers, their fingers interlacing immediately as a silent confirmation that he was coming with her.
Axel didn’t mind Dayson’s company, knowing that Talia will tell him everything anyway.
Axel led the way toward the lake, and they stopped where water kissed the damp soil.
