He knew I was home but he needed more, needed to feel me, touch me. I needed the same. I missed him, my body missed him. It felt like I hadn’t seen him in months and I needed him more than the oxygen that filled my lungs.
I fumbled with his clothes until he quickly shot up to his feet and stripped them off and they dropped to the floor. My heart thrummed against my chest as I watched him. My eyes drank in the contours and dips of his muscles, the sharp jawline, the ruffled hair before he took a step closer and climbed on the bed.
My legs parted for him, his eyes dipped to my core and he sucked in a breath. He leaned down to press a kiss on my cheek as I wrapped my legs around him. I dug my heels into his backside and his hands came to either side of my head. His muscles moved sensually underneath my fingers as they slide up his back.
A tear escaped and slid down my cheek and he kissed it away. My hands roamed up his muscled body to his chest. Something low in my belly warmed as one of his hands made its way down to my thigh.
“Viktor,” I begged.
The look in his eye darkened, and he swallowed my plea.
“I love you,” he murmured.
Our gaze locked and I moaned with the intensity of him filling me. He withdrew slowly before sliding back in. He made love to me, hard and slow. His hand released my thigh and moved up to grip my waist as he drove into me over and over again at the same slow pace. His need poured out of him and into me until we were drowning in the feel of his skin against mine. His eyes never left mine as our bodies came together.
The room filled with the sound of our body coming together, our breathing, and moans. My nails dug into flesh and I held onto him needing more. I watched as his thrusts quickened and he hit all the right spots.
My pleas fell on deaf ears as he kept that slow, hard rhythm until my orgasm ripped from me. He slowed his thrusts until I came down and my body squeezed around his. He leaned down and nipped at my throat.
He slammed into me until I was shuddering and clenching around him. He tensed and when he found his release with my name on his lips.

The sunlight woke me up the next day to an empty bed. I didn’t have to wait long before the door pushed open cautiously. A messy-haired Viktor peaked into the room, seeing me awake, he walked in.
I gulped as he stepped into view with breakfast in hand. His sweatpants hanging dangerously low on his hip. He placed the orange juice on the table before walking over to me. He smiled down at me as he lay the bed table in front of me.
My mouth watered as I took in the sausages, pancakes, eggs, and bowl of fruit. Between him and the food, I didn’t know which one I wanted to taste first.
“Good morning sleepyhead,” he murmured as he sat beside me. Leaning in, Viktor kissed my forehead. “How’d you sleep?”
“Well, thank you. What about you?” I ask.
“I slept better knowing you were safe,” he said with a smile.
“Did you make this?” I ask as I reached for the fork.
“Yep but I had some help with the pancakes,” he said with a nervous laugh.
“Thank you,” I gushed.
“Enjoy my Queen. Eat up,” he said proudly.
Viktor stayed beside me while I ate. His demeanor hardened as he linked Jake to let him know I’d come home last night and to call off the search party. I didn’t bother trying to hide the smile that spread across my face when Viktor told me he would be taking a vacation to spend time with his future Luna.
“We’re going to have to meet up with him and update him before we make an announcement to the pack members,” he told me after he’d cut the link. “I had to order him to keep away,” he said shaking his head. I could see the laughter dancing in his eyes. “Betas happy you’re home in one piece.”
I went into heat and wasn’t able to leave the packhouse or the room. One sniff of me would have had the unmated males attempting to claim me. It was unbearable and I craved Viktor’s touch 24/7.
I was thankful I’d gotten it now instead of a few days prior. I shuddered at the thought of what would have happened had I gotten it in his house. I chose not to dwell on that thought.
Nothing felt better than Viktor making love to me but I could see the hunger in his eyes. His usual controlled demeanor was replaced with desperation and need. My heat lasted three days and Viktor claimed me every single one of those days multiple times a day.
After my heat passed, I could get out of the packhouse and be around people again without worrying about getting jumped. We spent a few days going on walks, going out to eat, and Viktor took me on dates.
Viktor would go back to work tomorrow and Beta Jake suggested I get familiar with Luna’s duties. After a lot of discussions, Viktor and Jake agreed to set up a meeting with a well-known trainer.
She will help me understand everything I need to know to be Luna. I never imaged ever getting out from under Ken’s grasp. Having a relationship? Never crossed my mind. Being happy in a relationship? Impossible.
I can still remember the way I shook when I first came here. To think just a few months ago, I feared my mate.
Life has a funny way of turning out.
