“I will never ask you such a stupid thing!” she chuckled through tears, not believing that it was all over.

“Good,” he nodded. “Because I am never going anywhere.”

He lowered his head and licked his blood off her lips, tasting both – it and her.

.”Did you just mark me for the second time?” he arched his brow at her and she grinned at him without any kind of embarrassment.

“You looked like you needed to be reminded who you belong to!”

“And now I will never forget,” Gideon agreed with ease. “I wonder what will happen with my crescents now. Will they turn into diamonds or something? Since gold was already done before…”

She pushed him on the chest lightly.

“That just wouldn’t be practical, would it?” Ria snorted and that was when they heard hundreds of howls and roars in the distance.

She recognised some. They were warriors from her pack. She heard Ash and

Maya too, knowing that they were all right.

At the same time, Gideon recognised his people. “The battle is over,” he looked at the love of his life.

“And looks like we won after all,” she said. “Thanks to you. Your lycan really thinned the lines of bears and foxes.”

“And thanks to you,” he placed a little kiss onto her nose, “If you didn’t bring me back, our packs would now be fighting me over there.”

Their eyes met again, and they both realised that they hadn’t been this close for a while already. Those days apart seemed like an eternity.

“I missed you so much,” Gideon brushed the hair off her face, enjoying the tingling sensations that touching her gave him.

“I missed you too,” she breathed into his lips, making them part with her tongue.

“Don’t play with me, Riannon,” he warned her. “I am barely controlling myself. I haven’t seen you for so long!”

“Well, what are you waiting for then?” she teased him, “We just won the biggest battle. We deserve a break!”

That was all the invitation that he needed as he kissed her as an internal growl escaped him. She was with him again. His at last!

He noticed a few scratches that his Lycan claws left on her and he turned his neck to reach these areas and lick them thoroughly, most of them healing instantly now that they were properly mated. Well, maybe partially it was due to her being blessed by the Moon Goddess. But he loved to think that it was because of their connection.

He remembered how at the very beginning of their relationship he had to pretend to heal her to even touch her this way. But those days were long gone. That wonderful woman who was now moaning under noining more.

“Gideon!” She whimpered when he covered one of her n*****s with his mouth, sucking and tugging it gently. Knowing that this was just the way she liked it.

Her fingers were caressing him, making every sensation heightened. “Shh,” he teased her, “I am healing you here. Where does it hurt the most?” Asly smile formed on her face as one of her brows quirked.

“Everywhere,” she lied without a shade of hesitation or guilt, and he let out a snarl as he started to devour every inch of her. But soon he realised that he couldn’t wait anymore, and she was urging him to climb back on top of her too.

So, he hooked one of her legs, spreading her thighs for him and nudged at her entrance.

“I love you,” he smiled and she slid her palm up to his chest.

“I love you too,” Riannon lifted her head to kiss him and that was when he inserted his whole length into her roughly, filling her to the brim. This time he wasn’t gentle with her, but she did not want it either. Instead, she locked her thighs around his waist and let him pound into her. She wanted to feel him, his need and desire for her, his love and his passion. She wanted all of it.

She gripped him through each shuddering wave as he kept thrusting, bringing her wave after wave of immense pleasure that rippled through her body and made her eyes teary. Riannon cried out her release, biting on his shoulder and hearing a snarl tearing from his lips.

Gideon took her hands and laced their fingers together, pinning them at both sides of her as he continued to take his woman time after time, sounds of approval rumbling through his chest every time he saw her finding her release until her body felt limp against his. :: Only then he found her lips and stilled, spilling his seed inside of her womb, claiming her once again as his with an earth-shuttering growl, “Mine!”

When they walked out of the woods and back to the clearing strewn with bodies,

Riannon frowned. Maya and Reid were already there with new sets of clothes for them and cars waiting.

But as Riannon and Gideon walked down the field, she tried to take in and remember everything that she saw. This wasn’t the happy ending that she desired so much. And their work was far from over.

They had so much to talk about and to discuss. But most importantly, they had to talk to their people, comfort them and give them hope. This was only the beginning…

“I still don’t think that this is necessary,” Gideon folded his hands on his chest as they were walking to the tent that was placed in the mutually agreed location.

“Of course, it is,”. Ria shrugged as she had heard all that before. She knew that he was joking and that in reality, even her stubborn mate had to agree that they needed the alliance with the northern kingdom. Zack’s pack and others named by

Savannah were now officially out of the union. Foxes and bears retreated for the time being, but they could hardly assume that the war with them was over. It would be safer for the lycans to work together to ensure the safety of both kingdoms. Whether Gideon liked it or not (and he did not), they needed King Kai to join their Union with the werewolves and the werecats.

So, Riannon knew that she would have to make them put their differences aside, whatever it cost her.

“Gid, long time no see!” a handsome man in his late twenties was waiting for them inside and he stood up as they walked in. He seemed friendly and, for a second, she thought that maybe her mate was overthinking it. “You have two minutes to tell me what you want. I have been waiting for you long enough.

“Told you so,” Gideon whispered to her as they took their seats in front of the king.

“We are grateful for you giving us some of your precious time,” Riannon gave the man a dazzling smile. “My name is Riannon Mich…”

*Stormhold,” Gideon interjected and she nodded even though they were not yet technically married.

“You already know why you are here,” she continued, “There is a certain threat to all lycans and wolves and we want to make sure that it’s tackled with minimal losses to our kingdom. The best way to do it is through an alliance…”

“Yeah, I read your letter.” This time it was Kai who interrupted her. “It was very well-written and explanatory. But I still don’t see what I am gaining here.”

“Maybe you need some glasses then,” Gideon tried really hard not to snarl.

“Maybe you need some manners,” his opponent snorted.

“If they manage to bring our kingdom down, they will come after yours next,”

Riannon decided to ignore their childish behaviour.

“Theoretically speaking, yes,” Kai agreed.” Or they bring you down and then I wipe them off the face of the Earth while they are still weak after fighting you.”

“You will be busy,” Gideon smirked, and the northern king arched his brow. “How so?”

“The white bear clans,” Ria said calmly. She did not mention any of it in her letters, knowing that this would be one of her main cards to play. “They are in this too. They have been in all this for a while. And bet that you understand that the white bears do not need our land or us dead. They need all of that from you.”

Kai was silent, tapping his fingers slowly over the surface of the desk.

“Even so, I can deal with them on my own. I need more from this alliance,” he informed them firmly.

“And what the hell do you want this time?” Gideon asked him, clearly annoyed.

“How about the land that historically belongs to the North?” Kai was now deadly serious.

“That’s a very old story,” the western king was grim as well. “Anything else maybe?”

“Hmm, I don’t know,” the corners of Kai’s lips tugged into a smile. “There was one thing that I wanted for quite some time. But you and I both know that you will never agree. How about Savannah as my future bride?”
