My heart flutters knowing that Erik is my mate. He is the only man I have ever been drawn too, after all these years it finally makes sense.
The Moon Goddess mated me to one of my best friends. I have never felt more grateful in my life.
Athena and Finn approach each other to close the distance. She rubs our snout and face into the crook of Finn's neck. I feel the sparks shooting all over our face, I can feel my arousal awakening.
Finn purrs against our neck, rubbing and licking our face back. The tingles I feel when he touches us are so painfully tempting. The feeling settles between my legs, making me ache with such intensity that Athena whines.
I can tell they are mind-linking right now, but she has closed me off from hearing what they are saying. I try to open my mind to Erik the way Athena did with Alpha James.
'Erik, can you hear me?'
'Yes baby, I can hear you.', his lust filled voice makes me shiver.
'This is so amazing. I can't believe it's you.', my heart quickens.
'I have a confession to make E.', he sounds a little...nervous.
'What is it?'
'I've known you were my mate since the night of my first shift.', he admits.
'What? Why didn't you tell me?', I can't hide the hurt in my voice. He knew this whole time?
'You were so young, it wouldn't have been right. You were so focused on training and becoming the greatest Zeta, I couldn't take that away from you.'
'Why didn't you tell me 6 months ago when we sparred that night?', now my voice isn't hurt, is angry.
How dare he keep a secret like that from me! I have always told him everything, I have no secrets from Erik.
'Because baby, it wouldn't have been fair to you. And let's be honest, you wouldn't have believed me if I did tell you. Right?'
I contemplate his words for a few moments. He's right that I was way too young the night he shifted, I mean gross... but 6 months ago? No... I would've believed him.
The way he looked in my eyes that night, I should've seen it. I knew something was on his mind, but I didn't press him on it. He's my Alpha it's not my place to force him to tell me what's on his mind.
If he would've told me, instead of hiding from me, I would've known it was true. The same way I knew it was true when I just scented him. There is no doubt in my mind I belong with Erik. I felt it then but didn't trust my gut.
'You're wrong.', I look him straight in the eye, 'I would've believed you.'
I see the guilt swirling in his eyes.
'I know you Erik. You would never say something like that unless you knew it was true.'
'I'm so sorry Enya. Please... please forgive me...', his voice is laced with desperation.
I hold his gaze for a moment. I know I will forgive him, but I don't want to make it easy on him.
'Are you willing to earn it?', I inquire.
'Yes! I'll do anything. Just tell me what to do, please.'
I close the link to Erik and address Athena.
'I need control Athena. We need to shift back.'
'As you wish. Go easy on him, please. Finn feels guilty enough as it is too.', she requests of me.
'I promise.'
She gives me control and lays at the back of my mind resting. The first shift is hard on a wolf too. It takes a massive amount of energy to come out.
I shift back and stand before Finn's huge wolf.
"Hi Finn...", I deliberately let my desire come through my words. "Don't shift just yet. I want to look at you up close."
I reach my hand out to his neck and run my fingers through his fur. The sparks from our mate bond are even more intense for me now that I'm in my human form. I lower my hand and open the link to Finn.
'Let me see your eyes Finn...please...'
He leans his head down to me, I'm finally able to look into his eyes fully.
The deep pools of green are intoxicating, I'm spellbound. I reach my hand out again but I touch his face his time. I feel him tremble as my fingers caress his fur.
The tingles travel up my arm, they snake down my chest and settle in my core. I suddenly remember that I'm naked. I have no clothes on and I am standing before Erik. The thought makes my nipples harden.
The scent of my arousal makes Finn growl with longing. He starts to lick my face, it sends my head spinning. He trails his licking to my neck. He licks the place his mark will go, the amount of ecstacy that courses through my veins makes me moan.
He purrs at the sound of my pleasure, he licks further down to my belly. I feel like I'm on cloud nine, he pulls away and looks in my eyes again.
A silent question lingers there. I try to control my breathing, my desires are gripping the very breath from my lungs. I don't think I can speak so I simply nod.
In just a few seconds, Finn's emeralds are replaced with Erik's chrystal blues. He lets Erik take control and not a minute later Finn is gone.
Erik is standing before me. And he is gorgeous.
My eyes roam his perfectly chisled body. His biceps are thicker than my upper thigh. His pecks are massive too. My eyes lower to his abs where I am pleased to see his 8 pack.
Then I look even lower. His Adonis belt looks like he was carved from marble. I bite my lower lip to keep myself from moaning. My core is burning hot, I can feel my slick juices have started to flow down my legs.
My already hard nipples start to feel like I could cut glass. His body is so perfect. When I finally lower my eyes to his cock I actually gasp.
He is much bigger than I thought. I don't have anything to compare him to, but I had no idea he was that big. The glimpses I got before when he would harden against me were just a fraction of his true size.
I see him start to grow for me. When I look back at his face his eyes are drowning with lust. He has been exploring my body the same way I did with his.
His eyes return to mine, I know he can see the lust swirling in them. He takes a few deep breaths. His cock continues to harden at the sight of me. A devilish smile forms on his flawless lips.
"Enya.", he calls out my name, which only sends more shivers down my skin. "Do...you...forgive me?", he grounds out his question.
It doesn't take a genius to know that he wants to fuck me here and now, I certainly do too. But I don't want it to be out in the open like this. Not for my first time.
A bold idea takes shape in my mind however, and I start walking to him.
"Not quite Erik.", I make the desire in my voice clear, "you haven't earned it yet.", my words hang in the air.
"Tell me what to do.", he begs me.
'This will be fun.'
