1 am so in love. And I'm SO thankful that she wasn't trying to rejectbecause ofor because

she doesn't believe in the mate bond. The alliance bond is a problem, but | can work with that. |

have a year. Worst case scenario, I'll call everyone | know to rain hellfire on her brother's pack, but

I'd rather try to figure things out in a way that will keep our packs happily allied because we are

mates. Fated mates, meant to be together. Forever.

"So, what should we do first? Look over the campus, get books, or get food?" | ask her, not releasing

her hand even when she tries to tug it away.

Instead, | pull her hand to my mouth and kiss the top of it, holding her gaze. "Please hold my hand."

"People will think we're together," she hisses.

1 give her a look that hopefully says, 'Well yeah, duh!’

She huffs and rolls her eyes but doesn't pull her hand away. I'll take the win. "So, what's first?"

"Mmm, maybe we should go buy our books before the bookstore closes?" she says.

"Okay," | say, practically skipping across campus as | walk beside my mate. My fated mate. MY

mate. Did | mention we're fated mates?

"Are you always this... giddy?" she asks, frowning at me.

"Nope," | say, smiling at her because I can't help myself. It feels so incredible to know | found her

and here of all places. It's like the Moon Goddess is confirming that | made the right decision to

chere. "This is all your influence."

"And how do you expect to get through any of our classes acting like this?" she asks, still frowning.

1 turn, pulling her to a stop. "Well, you could letmark you. We could mate for a several days

straight, and after that, I'm pretty sure | could focus on something other than you," I tell her,

thrilled when | watch her mouth drop open.

"Which part of that is a surprise? The several days? Orbeing able to focus?" "No man can go for

several days straight. Not even an Alpha," she says.

"Oh, my sweet little mate. | guarantee you that when the tcomes, | will only cup for air,

food, and water. Every other part of my being will be focused on you; your taste, your scent, your

touch, and | want every one of your sweet orgasms from that day forward."

| watch as her eyes glass over and she begins to sway. I lean in, running my nose over her jaw to her ear. "I come

from a line of men who take great pleasure in making sure their mates are not just satisfied, but so fucking

happy that they forget their names. That's what you can expect from me, my sweet little mate," | purr in her ear.

Her entire body shivers and | smile before stepping back.

"The bookstore?" | ask innocently.

"What?"

"You wanted to get there before they close, right?"

1/3

"Wh... yes. Yes, books. Right," she says, shaking her head and blinking to regain her composure.

| smile, understanding much better now why my father, brother, and even Quirin tease their mates. It's delightful

to see them reacting to just your words. | can't wait until | can make her react to my touch. I'll make sure the

possibility of that alliance bond is so far out of her mind that it's completely forgotten. All she'll think about is

me, wanting me, needing me. And then we can begin thinking about how we can overcthis contract and

have what we should have a fated mate bond.

| take her hand and lead her to the bookstore. Since we're both first years, we have the sbooks.

"I can buy those for you," | tell her. Yeah, my money comes from the pack, but I don't care right now. I've earned

the money

| have and | want to take care of my mate. I'll pay my brother back if it's more than | can afford.

"My father gaveplenty of money for school, Yorick. You don't have to buy my books," she says.

"What about dinner. Can | buy you dinner?" | ask, practically desperate to show her that | can take care of her.

"I have money, Yorick," she says, as if trying to convince me.

"It's not about the money. | want to take care of you. My wolf wants to take care of you," | tell her.

She looks atdeciding what she's willing to agree to.

"I'll tell you what, I'll buy my own dinner, then we'll walk around campus, figure out where our classes are, and

then your wolf and Rina, my wolf, can go for a run together. What do you say?"

Thad pushes forward and | let him. "I say, | would love to run with my mate," he growls possessively. "But my

human and | can still take care of you. Dinner and a run," he says, negotiating with Rina.

"Is this a date, Thad?" she asks him.

"Absolutely."

| watch as her eyes flicker between the blue-grey of Cyra's color and the nearly navy color that must be Rina's

darker color.

"Alright. I'll let you buydinner," Rina says and | dance around in our mind space.

'Chill, tiny dancer, she hasn't agreed to be our mate or even agreed to be with us,' Thad says toin our mind

link.

'It's a first step, Thad. Take the gift," | say to him.

'Oh, I'm taking whatever my little mate is willing to give me," he purrs.

We walk to the cafeteria and order food.

"You know you don't have to buy our dinner, right? Just because Rina said it was okay, I'll remind you that | have

plenty of money to buy my own food," Cyra says

to me.

"And I'll remind you that as your mate, | feel a very strong need to take care of you. Wolf or no, you're mine. |

want you to know that I can provide for you. It's important to me," | tell her.
