Chapter 40
Eric’s POV
I felt my canines elongate as my thrusts became erratic. Lisa’s body tensed beneath me, her back arching. Her pussy clamped down on my
cock in rhythmic waves, pulling me deeper.
I felt Lisa’s body tensing beneath me, her breathing becoming erratic as she approached her climax. Her inner walls began to pulse around
my cock, her back arching off the bed.
“Now,” she gasped, tilting her head to expose her throat. “Mark me now!”
As her orgasm crashed through her, I sank my teeth into the juncture of her neck and shoulder, breaking the skin. The taste of her blood
flooded my mouth as magic surged between us, initiating the bond.
The effect was immediate and overwhelming. Lisa’s body convulsed violently beneath me, her internal muscles clamping down and
rhythmically milking my cock with supernatural intensity. The dual sensation of her blood on my tongue and her pussy gripping me like a
vise pushed me over the edge.
My release tore through me with unprecedented force, my seed pumping deep inside her. In that moment of perfect vulnerability, Lisa’s
eyes flashed golden with her wolf’s presence. She lunged upward with surprising strength, her own canines elongating as she bit into the
same spot on my neck.
The shock of her marking me while I was still emptying myself inside her sent another powerful wave of pleasure crashing through my
body. Our mating bond formed fully in both directions, connecting us on a level deeper than physical. I could feel her heartbeat aligning
with mine, her emotions flowing into me as mine flowed into her, creating a perfect circuit of sensation.
Lisa’s body convulsed in a third, more powerful orgasm as our mutual marking took hold, her scream of pleasure mingling with my own
guttural growl. Through our newly formed bond, I could feel the exquisite mixture of pain and ecstasy that coursed through her, just as
she could feel mine.
Mine. Forever mine, Maddox proclaimed, satisfaction rolling through him as my hips continued to pump weakly, emptying every last drop
inside her.
Always yours, Raven answered, her presence warm and bright in our shared mental space. And you are ours now too, she added with fierce
possessiveness.
I collapsed beside her, pulling her sweaty body against mine, both of us careful of our freshly marked shoulders. The bites were already healing, the edges glowing faintly as magic sealed them into permanent marks-matching silvery crescents that would forever identify us
as each other’s true mate.
“I can feel you,” Lisa whispered in wonder, her fingers tracing patterns on my chest as we lay tangled together afterward. “Even when you close your eyes, I can feel what you’re feeling.”

The ritual complete, I felt something new solidify between us-a deeper awareness of Lisa’s emotions, her heartbeat syncing with my own. The mate bond, already powerful, had transformed into something unbreakable and eternal.
We rested in contented silence, the world outside our cabin forgotten.
“You seemed tense when you arrived,” she observed, running her fingers through my hair. “Was it just anticipation, or is something bothering you?”
I sighed, the peaceful bubble we’d created suddenly pierced by memories of my argument with Julia. “Just family drama. My sister brought her boyfriend home for Christmas.”
“And that’s a problem because…?” Lisa prompted, her head tilted in curiosity.
“Because she’s making a mistake. She’s dating some college prefect named Daniel instead of waiting for her actual mate.” I frowned, recalling the defiance in Julia’s eyes. “You should have seen her at dinner, introducing him like he’s something special. My parents were falling all over themselves to welcome him.”
“What’s wrong with him?” Lisa asked.
“Nothing specific. He seems nice enough. Polite. But that’s not the point.” I sat up, frustration returning. “I don’t understand why she’s wasting her time with someone who isn’t her destined mate. When she finally meets her real mate, she’ll regret all this.”
