He nods frantically, his eyes locked with mine. I can smell his magic, letting me know he’s performing the bonding spell and I need to get ready to bite him. That’s when a sort of blue fog swirls around us, filling our bedroom.
I startle a little but keep up the pace, managing not to falter for more than a second. My teeth lengthen, my canines growing sharper. “Stroke yourself.”
Ayo obeys, shuttling his hand up and down his cock. “Now, Ethan! Do it now.”
Heat sweeps through my body as I bury my face at the juncture of his neck and shoulder. “Come for me.”
Then I bite. Ayo yells and spills between us, getting us both sticky as I shoot inside him, orgasming so hard I see stars. Between us, an invisible tether forms.
As soon as my brain comes back online, I carefully withdraw my teeth and lick over the wound. It’ll scar, but my saliva should take away any pain.
Holy hell, I can feel him. Deep inside. Joy, love, and satisfaction that drown out the tiny remaining undercurrent of anger.
“Ayo…” I say in wonder.
Ayo is slumped on me, breathing hard. “Don’t make me move yet.”
I stroke his hair. “I need to clean us up, sweet thing.”
“In a minute.”
I gently lift his head from my shoulder. “Can you feel it?”
He smiles softly, love shining in his eyes. “Yeah. You love me so much.”
I kiss him tenderly. “I do.”
He deepens the kiss, languid strokes of his tongue dancing with mine as his fingers tangle in my hair. We kiss lazily for a while, losing track of time and basking in the glow of our new bond.
There’s a tiny part of me still in a state of disbelief that this man is mine. That I’ve actually bonded with my mate. The rest of me is simply riding the high of love and elation coming through the bond.
Eventually we separate to clean up, then return to bed where I pull Ayo into my arms.
I stroke his back softly. “I didn’t expect the blue fog.”
Ayo stills. “You saw it?”
I frown. “Was I not supposed to?”
He tips his head so he can meet my gaze. “Mum’s grimoire said only a fated mate will see a sorcerer’s binding spell. I already knew, but having it confirmed? Best bonding present ever.”
I relax and kiss him softly, wordlessly agreeing. My wolf is delighted we’ve claimed our mate at last. “Welcome to the Lupo Pack, Alpha-mate.”

AYO
I stand on the front lawn and stare up at the eighteenth century manor that was my home for the majority of my life. “Maybe I should sell it.”
“Are youkidding?” Jet screeches.
“This place isepic,” Kit says.
“Can we explore?” Skye asks, bouncing almost as much as Jet is. To be fair, he stayed outdoors when we infiltrated the place and the other two didn’t get to see the full house.
“Go for it,” I say.
Skye, Jet, and Kit take off immediately, barrelling in through the open front doors. Cal and Raj follow at a more normal pace.
