asked.
She nodded.
“It’s just… You have been very quiet, and you haven’t even mentioned what happened in California.”
She sat up, and he scooted back so he was leaning up against the headboard. She straddled his hips and leaned back against his thighs.
Normally, his wolf would have been thrashing to mate with her, but even he could sense something was wrong with their mate. He gently brushed his fingertips over her stomach, skin exposed from her pushed-up shirt.
“It’s hard to explain how I feel,” she answered honestly. “Part of me is devastated. The home I grew up in is gone now, nothing but a pile of ash and debris. All my memories, good and bad, literally went up in smoke. I feel like part of me was burned in that fire. The other part of me is happy though. I feel almost…liberated, like I have closure, this freedom from my past. The slate is finally wiped clean so I can move on with my life. Now, there is nothing to draw me back there. I’m just confused, and I don’t know how to feel.”
Koda looked into her eyes and cupped her cheeks with his strong hands. “You are entitled to feel both ways, my love. No one expects you to choose one or the other. It is not a crime to have mixed feelings.”
“I know, but it would be a crime if I am so emotionally overwhelmed that I cannot take care of our pack and—”
“Hush,” Koda scorned gently, silencing her with a kiss. “We all find ourselves at a crossroads at some point in our lives. When I arrived at your home and heard your scream, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. Then I saw Richard straddling you, and I saw red. Part of me wanted to rip him apart for even being near you. The other part knew he wasn’t claiming you, because you are already mine. I merged my feelings together and decided it was best to just throw him away from you. I got physical, but I was able to control my rage with rational thinking.”
“How did you find your medium ground?”
Koda shrugged. “I guess I just knew that if I hurt him, I would, in turn, hurt you. I would rather die than ever do that.”
She smiled at him and leaned forward to give him a peck on the lips, but he had other plans. Koda grabbed the back of her neck to keep her face right where he wanted it. She smiled against his lips, running her fingers through his hair. He rewarded her with a growl, and she nipped at his lips. He lifted the hem of her shirt, running his hands along her ribcage. She moaned into his mouth, pressing her body closer to his. He gripped her hair and pulled, then ripped away from her lips.
She hissed at him but gasped when he latched his lips onto her neck, sucking and biting hard. On human skin, his constant attention and aggressive movements would have pierced the surface, causing blood to seep through, but she was a werewolf, so it only brought about a deep, insatiable desire to claim and mate.
Sera gripped his shoulders, growling as the desire to retaliate against him grew. Normally, she would have, but she could sense his need to saturate her in his scent.
A knock on the door caused them both to snarl.
“What!?” Koda barked.
“Sera?” Caressa said cautiously. “Richard wants to talk to you. He refuses to go into the cabin till he sees you.”
Sera sighed and climbed down from her mate’s hips, then straightened her clothes before she walked to the door.
“Mate...”
Sera paused at the door and looked back over her shoulder at Koda.
She nodded.
