Chapter 274

~Tempest’s POV~

"Then do it," Koda growled as his cock slammed into me, hitting the spot that drove me crazy.

"Koda, Koda, KODA!" He groaned, his movements becoming more erratic with every word that fell out of my lips.

"Tempest," he moaned, his hands gripping my ass.

"Cum," I ordered.

"Yes," he groaned, his cock pulsing inside me. I shivered as my orgasm hit me hard.

"Fuck," he growled, his thrusts growing faster and faster until he found his release.

"Tempest," he gasped, his body tensing, his hips jerking.

My vision blurred as the waves of pleasure washed over me. "Koda," I sighed, resting my head against his chest.

"Are you okay?" I nodded. "Good." He held me close, his arms wrapping around me. I nuzzled his neck, enjoying the feeling of his embrace

"We should get cleaned up," he suggested.

"Yeah." Koda grabbed the body wash, and I smiled, loving how the scent of sandalwood and orange mixed with his natural scent.

After cleaning each other up, Koda carried me back to bed, not bothering to dress us.

"Get some sleep, love," he whispered.

"I will. Just... Stay with me," I mumbled, snuggling against him as sleep finally claimed me.

~Koda’s POV~

I stared down at her sleeping form, memorising every inch of her beautiful face, from her delicate features to her silky red hair.

She looked so peaceful, and I wanted to protect her, to keep her safe.

"Mate," my wolf purred.

I sighed, running a hand through my hair.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"What’s wrong with me? Nothing. Why do you think something is wrong with me? Maybe I love the fact that she is our mate," my wolf stated. "Mark her and claim her already."

"We can’t mark her. Not yet. As much as I would, I want it to be done properly. I want to propose to her and..."

My wolf rolled his eyes at me, and I shook my head. Just as I sat up to leave, Tempest tossed on the bed and I froze.

Just then I sensed Alpha Sloan’s voice in my head and immediately connected with him through the mind link.

~Tempest’s POV~

And now, I was deeply entangled. My heart ached at the thought of what I was going to do to him.

"What truth?" I muttered to myself. Each time I was with Koda, every kiss, every touch—it felt like a piece of me that had been missing was finally restored. My soul felt whole and my heart at peace.

But it didn’t erase the other truth—the pull I felt toward Ryland. As exhilarating as my connection with Koda was, I couldn’t ignore the charms of both men.

I ran a hand through my hair, frustration bubbling in my chest. "Get it together, Tempest."

The decision I had avoided for weeks loomed over me like a dark cloud. After several minutes of thinking about everything, following my mother’s advice and Summer’s incessant grumbling each time Ryland was mentioned, there, sitting alone in Koda’s bed, I finally made it.

I couldn’t string them both along any longer. I had to choose.

Rising from the bed, I went for a bath, allowing my muscles and self to relax in the tub for another fifteen minutes before stepping out.

Once I got dressed quickly, slipping into jeans and a soft sweater. I glanced around Koda’s room, the faint scent of sandalwood lingered in the air.

My heart ached as I picked up a piece of paper and scribbled a quick note:

"Koda, thank you for everything. I need some time to think. I’ll see you soon. With love – Tempest."

I placed the note on his nightstand, smoothing it down before grabbing my bag. With one last glance around the room, I walked out, the weight of my decision pressing down on me.

Once I was outside, I pulled out my phone and scrolled to Ryland’s name. My thumb hovered over the screen for a moment before I typed a message:

"Ryland, I need to see you. Can we meet at the old forest trail near the Crescent Ridge? Noon."

Hitting send, I exhaled deeply and slid the phone back into my pocket. The decision had been made. Now, I just had to face it.
