Chapter 154: Bonus Story-ls Ciana My Mate?(Part 2)

'She's gorgeous...' I murmured.

I saw her, I smelled her, and I didn't know it was possible, but I adored her even more.

However, my wolf didn't recognize her.

It was a shame that I would never know whether she was my mate for sure, but I tried to persuade myself that it didn't matter. My love for her wouldn't change regardless.

However, there was a small voice in my head that wanted to find out the truth. It questioned whether I really should give up the chance of establishing the most magical and unbreakable bond with the woman that meant everything to me.

Ciana looked in my direction. I wondered whether she felt anything different.

'Theo,' my mother's voice sounded distant but determined, 'kneel before the Goddess!'

I shook my head. 'No, mother. I know what you're going to do. You don't need to restore my mate sense,' I scoffed at myself, 'I know, your son is a coward."

'Theo, look at me," she ordered, "Trust the Goddess and trust her plan for you two.'

My mother put her hand on my shoulder and willed me to bend my knees. She didn't place any weight on me, but for whatever reason, I listened to her and dropped my body to a half-kneeling position in front of her.

She pressed her hands on my chest and stared into my eyes.

'Relax and do not fight me. Okay?"

I nodded slightly but my mind was still spiraling.

My mother closed her eyes and started to chant something under her breath. I couldn't exactly describe what she was chanting but I did catch the word 'soul' in there.

Her hands started to heat where she touched my chest. There was a slight glow that came from her fingertips. Her eyes remained closed but her brow furrowed.

Her body shook slightly as she continued to chant. I tried to speak but it was as if my voice had been stolen and I couldn't utter a single word.

"Don't try to talk." My mother gritted out.

My mother's head snapped backward and her eyes snapped open. I could see the glow in them. Blood seeped from the corner of her lips and her body shook uncontrollably.

I was about to stop her from hurting herself when the warmth that had been on my chest turned into an intense burning. My mother pressed down on me harder and I felt like I was being pushed backward. My eyes slammed shut as I surged back into my subconscious.

Dark mists surrounded me and all my senses were dull. Then something started to feel warm in my chest. It continued to heat up, turning into wildfire, sweeping across my entire body. The darkness was chased away and all of a sudden my senses were sharpened.

Warmth and heat spouted in my chest, quickly melting the icy-cold shell that had been sealed around my heart and I was plunged back into my consciousness.

I jerked up and let out a loud gasp like I had just surfaced from being underwater.

Then my body was ten times lighter, and all my senses were unimaginably enhanced. However, there was only one thing that grasped my attention.

The golden wolf was not far away from us.

My vision was so clear that I could tell each individual fur of hers and I could hear her breathing rhythming with the heartbeat of our pup in her belly.

Then I smelled her. Her subtle water lily scent filled my nostrils, and immediately, I was intoxicated. Her scent was more heavenly than the most aromatic flower and more luscious than the richest wine. Every single hair of mine stood on end as my entire body buzzed with electricity.

Her gaze landed on me.

As soon as our eyes connected I knew. I knew that from this moment on, nothing could ever separate us.

It was her. How could I ever doubt it? I should have known it from that very first kiss in the pavilion but I had been too afraid to seek confirmation.

"Mate."

I whispered the word like I was her most sincere worshiper.

"Go to her.' My mother encouraged me, gleams flickered in her eyes. "Go to your mate, son."

I didn't need to be told twice. I leapt into the air and shifted into my black wolf, landing perfectly on all fours.

My heart pumped with anticipation, and my wolf was agitated at me for not getting to her fast enough.

Ciana stood there quietly, watching my approach. The night breeze brushed through her soft hair, and her gorgeous eyes collected all of the lights from the stars.

It was breathtaking to know that the Goddess had gifted me the most striking being in the world as my mate.

She took a step toward me and raised her nose in the air. She breathed the air between us, taking in my scent.

She then closed the distance between us and touched our noses together. This simple physical connection alone sent waves of bliss through my body, making my heart fly ten thousand feet high.

Then she walked past me, let out a howl and started running.

My wolf head smiled and immediately took off after her. No words were needed at this moment. No matter where our legs would take us, our hearts would always find each other.

I caught up to her side, accompanying her for her first run. She started with trotting, then her pace picked up. The wind blew louder in our ears and waved through our fur.

There was no boundary on where we could go. The world was ours, and wherever she went, I'd follow.

Then she darted ahead of me as if to challenge my speed.

I let out a long howl and happily chased after her. Coming, my love.

I sprinted faster and caught up to her in no time at all. We moved with one another in perfect sync, enjoying each other and the ecstatic chill that running in our wolf brought us.

Strength, speed, freedom.

We ran for what felt like hours and she slightly slowed down.

I reduced my pace to be right next to her and I led her up the hill where we had our first date.

I had planned it all for weeks. I knew that this was the place I wanted to bring her when she first shifted.

The moon hung high, casting a gorgeous blue glow around it. The stars twinkled brightly like diamonds in the sky and countless fireflies surrounded us, illuminating the night. It was as if we were immersed in a sea of sparkling lights.

I could not have asked for a more romantic night.

I shifted out of my wolf form and saw some fireflies land on her golden fur. She was so stunningly beautiful that I had to take a few deep breaths to recollect what I wanted to say.

I placed my hand on her head and pressed my forehead against her nostrils.

"Shift, my love."
