#Maddoc POV
"Maybe we should do it now, in nature, as we are intended to do." She said that to me. My mate wanted me. Now. My mate was so down to earth, so simple, so nice, and sexy as hell. I was so happy. What I had been waiting for 200 years to do, now it is time!
"Are you sure? I can't tell you no. I've been waiting so long for this, for you. The one. It makes no sense but I feel like I have known you for a long time." I pushed her hair out of her eyes, her beautiful silvery white hair. With two streaks of black in it. I inhaled her scent at the spot her neck where I would mark her. She shivered, the sparks when I kissed her neck lit a fire in me only she could put out.
But I didn't want to rush her. She was so young, and I wanted to be respectful of that, I wanted her to be sure. I wanted her to be sure she loved me and it wasn't just the mate bond. I wanted to know her, I loved her already, for Lycans the mate bond is powerful and there is no denying one's true mate, and I knew for an absolute fact Tara was my true mate. But becoming my Queen, that was a lot to ask of a young she wolf. While I had no doubt as to her ability to do so, I wanted to be sure it was what she wanted. I felt like we needed more time to get to know one another before giving in to the animalistic needs created by the mate bond.
I could see Koda burying his head in his paws, in lycan form he would have probably been pounding his head into the wall. "Are you insane?" He growled at me. "She is our mate. She wants us now. We need to mark her now! She will love us, she's our mate! Please don't be such a human!"
"What do you think?" Tara said, pulling her shirt off and leaning back on it on the forest floor. We had moved slightly further into the forest, looking for a suitable place to consummate our mate bond.
"I want to be sure this is what you want," I said, my hesitation wavering as I looked at her beautiful breasts, perfectly proportioned to her body. I noticed her strong muscles, remembering she was a well trained fighter.
I argued with Koda, who would probably have knocked me out with a baseball bat had he been able to. A younger lycan might not have been able to exert the control I could, due to my age and experience I had absolutely mastered the art of controlling his beast. I thought of something. "What does your wolf think?"
After a moment she turned bright red and then started laughing. "She said if I don't do this now she will make me sorry, that she wants a Big Mac now, and that if I don't eat you she will."
I couldn't help myself, her wolf truly was a character. "Trinity, is it?" I couldn't stop laughing. It would seem my mate was blessed with a very charismatic wolf.
"Yes. And she has a dirty mouth and a dirty mind." Tara was still blushing, I had to wonder what Trinity was saying. Koda was laughing too, in between berating me for what he called self doubt but I called chivalry and being respectful of our mate.
"Are you sure? I want you to love me for me, not because of the mate bond, and I want you to be sure this is the life you want. It is a lot to ask." She looked at me like I had lost my mind.
"The life I want? This is like something out of a romance novel, something every she wolf dreams of, and I am so far beyond thrilled to be your mate. I know I don't know you that well but from what I understand my soul knows you and always has and I am willing to trust that. The Moon Goddess doesn't make mistakes."
"I promised your mother I would give you time, what will she think if we come out of this woods marked?"
"This isn't about what my mom thinks, besides of all people she understands the mate bond better than anyone. You've heard of Where Wolves, right?"
"Yes, I think it's a wonderful thing your mom does." He really did, he had a lot of questions for her mother about her gift of being able to see strings of fate. He wondered what Tara's gift would be. Magic tended to run in families, especially among females. He knew she was musically talented, maybe that was it?
"My mom knew I was your mate?" I asked him, knowing. He nodded affirmatively. "That means she confirmed it. So I have no reason to doubt. And I really, really have this feeling like we should do this now."
My resolve was weakening with each of her justifications. I leaned forwards and kissed her beautiful pink lips, sparks almost powerful enough to make me jump had me deepening the kiss, pulling her close to me. I broke the kiss and I took off my sweatshirt and made a makeshift blanket for her to lay on, she pulled off her jeans and lay there naked before me. She gave me a nervous smile.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked her one more time, noting her nervousness.
"I'm just nervous because I have never done this before, but from what I have heard it is not going to be at all unpleasant." She started laughing again. "Trinity said if you don't stop being such a gentleman she and Koda are going to tell all of the other wolves you are a chicken."
I chuckled. "What do you think?"
"I love that you are a gentleman, but really. It's 2024. Casual hookups are common and accepted, and sex on the first date seems to have become almost normal, maybe not as much in the werewolf world as the human world because they don't have or recognize mate bonds. I want to do this, and so do you, and we are mates. You don't have to be such a gentleman. I won't hold it against you." She smiled, looking adorable, with her silver hair that now had two streaks of black towards the front, beautiful eyes, not to mention her extraordinarily well toned, tan skin.
Koda growled, "I hope no one has ever touched our mate." I rolled my eyes. "Koda, it's modern times. We can't hold her previous experience against her when we have plenty of experience." Koda huffed. "I hated all of those females, you might have enjoyed it but I sure didn't." I rolled my eyes again. "Koda, if I hadn't done it a few of those times you were ready to start tearing up nightclubs, parties, the castle, all due to sexual frustration." He whimpered. "Will she hold against us that we have done this before?" I decided coming clean about my past now would be the best option, as we were bound to run in to my past conquests and I wanted her to be prepared for that, knowing how lycan females behaved. This was especially true since my mate was a werewolf, not a lycan. Some would see her as weak. "They can fuck off," Koda growled at the thought of anyone insulting our mate.
"Okay. But before we do this, I need to tell you, I have done this before. And not just once." I hung my head in shame. "I know waiting for the mate bond is probably important to you. And some of these women are likely to try and cause you trouble at some point."
She lifted my head, and met my eyes. "Mac, I don't care what you did before. I have never had sex, but I have gone on a few dates and messed around. I did save myself for the mate bond, but I have only had to wait how long? You have been waiting for longer than I can comprehend. I would never hold that against you."
Both Koda and I were so relieved. This was something I had worried about more than once. Our mate was so perfect. So kind. "Okay, then there is one more thing I need to tell you you."
"What is that?" She asked me.
"There is a possibility that when I mark you, you will develop lycan characteristics. What this means varies, and it doesn't always happen. It's a fairly new phenomenon, as most lycans were mated to other lycans. But this isn't the first case of a Lycan being mated to a ware."
"What would happen to me then?" She asked, curious, but I could tell she was unafraid.
"You would grow a little bigger, stronger, and your wolf would have a second physical form like that of my Lycan." She considered this. "It won't change your personality or hers, you might feel a slight increase in aggression or jealousy, but it's nothing anyone has ever had trouble controlling."
I could tell she was talking it over with her wolf. "She still wants her Big Mac, and says if you don't hurry up she and Koda will never forgive us and torment us forever." She giggled. "She loves Koda. She has declared it. She wants his mark on us." She pulled me closer and kissed me. Her hands run up my chest and back down over my abs, sending shivers through me and making me so hard I thought I might explode just from her touch.
I hoped her mom would understand. I couldn't hold back any longer. I began kissing her everywhere, smelling her, tasting her, she tasted so amazing, like birthday cake and caramel. I could smell her arousal, and lowered my mouth to that spot between her legs that was mine to enter. She dug her nails into my back. "Please," she whispered, moving towards my mouth. I teased her a little.
"You want me to kiss you where?" I whispered, "does that feel good Tara?" I didn't make her wait any longer, softly kissing her special spot which caused her to moan loudly. I licked at her center, she tasted as good as she smelled, beautiful. I could tell she was getting close when she grabbed my hair, and pressed her thighs against me. I brought her to her climax, and she screamed my name as her legs shook and her back arched. I let her ride the wave of pleasure, as I lined myself up to enter her.
"This might hurt for just a minute, but I will go slow. After a minute it won't hurt anymore and you will love it." I slowly pushed in to her, let her relax, and continued slowly pushing in to her wet tight glory. She gasped, as I filled her. "So tight," I groaned.
"I'm okay, not gonna lie, Trinity's eyes might have been bigger than her stomach." She laughed, and the vibrations in her body made me jerk inside her. "But it's too late to turn back now so let's go for it!"
I slowly pulled out and re entered her, watching her face carefully, waiting for the moment when her pain diminished. When I saw and felt her relax I started increasing my pace, staring in to her beautiful eyes as I got closer to my release. I leaned forward and licked her neck where my mark would go. My canines extended, and I bit in to her flesh. The taste of her sweetness filled my mouth and I felt the bond strengthen. I exploded inside of her, offering my neck and she marked me hungrily, stinging pain then pleasure beyond anything I have ever felt as our bond snapped into place fully.
At last, my mate, she was mine. This was the happiest day of my life.
