Within a second he is on his knees too, his eager lips on mine, his strong hands sliding up the back of my top and gripping me almost painfully hard. I grabbed his top around the bottom as he raises his arms, allowing me to drag it off over his head. I am eager to see him again, but this time I want to touch him, too. I run my hands up his washboard stomach, up his shapely chest and then across his broad shoulders, biting my lip as I gaze longingly at his masculine form.

He is just divine…

He, in turn, takes the bottom of my top into his hands, dragging my top upwards and over my head and arms. He pauses for a moment, his eyes full of lust, his breathing ragged as he takes in the sight of me sitting there in my black lacey bra. I swallow hard as his fierce eyes meet mine again. With his hands to my waist and mine to his shoulders, we pull each other closer, our torsos pressed up against each other, kissing each other hungrily. I gasp as he leaves my mouth, his lips brushing along my jaw, my ear, sending shivers down my spine. My fingers rake across his broad back as he trails heated kisses down my neck, his attention lingering at that one spot just above my collarbone, where I know he’ll soon mark me.

My magic flares again, surging to my hands, crackling under my skin, feeding off the fire that Austin is igniting inside me.

His hands move higher, a sharp inhale escaping me as his thumb grazes the edge of my bra, then p ushes it aside, brushing over my n****e with the lightest touch.

A jolt shoots through me, pleasure mingling with the overwhelming newness of it all. It’s intense- almost too much…and yet…I just want more.

Austin gently eases me backward, lowering me onto the blanket as his body follows, warm and hard above me. He breaks our kiss, both of us breathing hard, our chests rising and falling in sync. His gaze locks onto mine, searching, asking, before flicking down toward my leggings. I know he doesn’t intend to formalise our bond entirely, but I’m curious about what else there is…and so I nod

Before he can move, I hastily push my leggings past my hips, and he quickly slides them down my

legs, tossing them aside. His lips claim mine again, deeper, more deliberate this time, before

trailing downward-pressing soft, open-mouthed kisses down my chest, between my breasts, then

lower, along my stomach.

A sharp breath escapes me as he reaches the top of my underwear, his lips grazing just above the fabric. My back arches toward him instinctively, entirely unprepared for the sensation.

Austin hesitates, as if reconsidering, before shifting back up, his body settling fully against mine.

The weight of him is intoxicating-his warmth, his presence wrapping around me like something I

never knew I needed.

His hand skims up the inside of my thigh, slow, teasing…my breath hitches.

My eyes widen as his fingers deftly push my underwear aside, his touch suddenly there, pressing

into me with effortless ease.

A gasp catches in my throat, swallowed by his kiss as his fingers withdraw, only to return, shifting slightly-hitting a spot that sends a jolt through my entire body, a soft moan escaping against his

lips.

He knows exactly what he’s doing.

His thumb moves next, tracing upward, circling gently as his fingers continue their slow, rhythmic motion. My body reacts before I can think, my hips moving in time with him, following the pleasure

he builds with each deliberate motion.

He wrenches his lips from mine, his breathing ragged, but I barely register it, as I’m lost in the heat, in the sensation as he unravels me piece by piece. He tilts my head just so, his lips trailing to my throat. His teeth grazing the sensitive skin above my collarbone, sending another shiver down my

spine…

…he bites.

A sharp, piercing pain floods my senses, followed immediately by a wave of pure pleasure, radiating outward from where he’s bitten me, igniting something entirely primal in the very core of

A surge of white-hot magic erupts from within me, bubbling up inside of me like molten fire, spilling out in a rush that I can’t control. I cry out, gripping Austin’s shoulders, my nails digging into his skin as the resulting energy pours into him for the second time that night.

He roars-

The sound vibrates through my entire body-deep, raw, powerful. My vision fades, my head

spinning as the world tilts-

And then-

Darkness.

I open my eyes, knowing instinctively that it is some time later. I am still on the blanket, and

Austin’s clothes lay discarded in tatters, all along the path towards the door.

“Austin?” I call out groggily. I hear only silence aside from the water fountain.

start to worry.

Had I hurt him?

Did I force too much energy into him?

Was he okay?

The placement of the clothes suggests he was in a hurry to get outside to shift; but where was he

now? I hurriedly get dressed and leave the greenhouse.

***Austin***

If I had felt an immense surge of strength after Ella’s first transfer, nothing could have prepared me

for the second.

The moment I marked her, she poured an even greater wave of energy into me-overwhelming, uncontainable. It was like being plugged into a live current, every nerve alight, my body thrumming with power I had no idea how to handle.

Ollie had been wrong.

It had been romantic-and hot. Passionate in a way I’d never forget. I’d have to thank him someday for his many unfiltered stories; turns out, I had been listening.

After that… everything blurred.

Ella had passed out immediately-but I’d barely registered it at first, too consumed by the sheer for ce of the energy that was now coursing through me. It was too much, impossible to contain, and I had roared-a raw, primal sound tearing from my throat as my body demanded an outlet – and now I

knew how Ella must have been feeling all this time…

Without hesitation, I’d shed the rest of my clothes and shifted, right outside the greenhouse doors.

Atlas ran.

Faster than we ever had, the wind rushing past us in a blur. We leaped effortlessly over obstacles we’d never managed before, the sheer power in our limbs entirely intoxicating. Everything was shar per. I could sense every pack member despite the enchantments shielding the grounds-and I

could sense others too, in a way I couldn’t yet explain.

But above all else, I could sense her.

Ella.

Through the mark, through our bond-I knew exactly where she was. I’d always be able to find her

now. No matter where she went, she was mine.

Lunar energy… Who knew? I remark to Atlas.

She is also now marked as ours, forever. You could have completed the bond after marking her. It would’ve been easy and quick, Atlas says dryly.

That wasn’t what she consented to, and I was a little busy being juiced up like some sort of power plant. Besides, I think it’s clear that things need to be done in stages. Her body can’t handle all the extra magic she gets each time we kick things up a notch, I reply sadly.

True.

We need to make absolutely sure she will be fine after it happens. What if it’s too much? I muse.

Things are happening for a reason, Austin, she will handle it. Or she will channel it like she just did. WE can definitely handle it, Atlas says confidently.

I feel it the moment Ella wakes up-like a thread pulling taut between us. Relief washes over me, and Atlas immediately pivots, sprinting toward the school with effortless grace.

As we near the entrance, I spot her instantly-her brilliant blonde hair glowing under the full moon. She turns toward us, as if sensing our approach, and the moment we reach her, I shift back into my human form, barely pausing before pulling her tight into my arms.

I bury my face against her neck, inhaling deeply, savoring the scent of her-of us-where my mark now sits proudly on her skin.

“Oh, thank goodness! I was worried I hurt you or something,” she mumbles into my chest.

A warm laugh rumbles through me as I squeeze her tighter.

“Definitely not. If anything, Ella, I’ve never felt more alive,” I murmur before pressing a fond kiss to

the top of her head.
