Scott didn’t want to rush it, but he couldn’t wait to get a taste of Ciara, either. He wanted to devour her, but he didn’t want this night to end just like that. He wanted to make every second meaningful, to make sure that nothing was missed, and that there were no regrets. Scott wanted to explore every inch of her body, not wanting to miss a speck of her skin.Ciara lay beneath him. Her eyes widened, blinking, long eyelashes shadowing her cheekbones. She wasn’t smiling, but her expression was so innocent that Scott couldn’t control himself. As her glossy pink lips moved and parted slightly, he grabbed her and stiffened when he heard her sigh.He held his body with both hands so as not to pin on her. His legs straddled her body beneath him.“Scott…,” she called his name in a half-whispering and half-sighing voice, and that was so fucking sexy. Damn, she drove him crazy.“What is it, baby?”Ciara raised her hand slowly and pressed her fingertips to his cheek. “Tell me it’s not a dream.
It was one of the greatest moments in her life. As Ciara slumped in Scott’s arms, with her eyes closed and a wide smile on her face, there was a slightest scare that it was just a dream. She was even afraid to open her eyes. She was afraid that he would disappear from her side and she just stared at the empty space in her bedroom.“Ciara.”She heard him call her name, and she felt his fingers press against her waist. She opened her eyes and relief filled her heart when she saw him was still by her side, hugging her tightly.After their first orgasm, they did it several more times until the moon was no longer at the top of the highest sky.Scott picked her up and carried her under a nearby tree, then held her face to face and she buried her face in the crook of his neck, inhaling his scent.“Let me tell you something,” he mumbled.“What?” Her voice sounded weak with tiredness, but she knew that this tiredness was only temporary. Her wolf just kept growling inside her head, begging her
Scott took Ciara to the forest near the Silver Blood Moon event. After making sure she got safely to the party area, he moved away from there.Happiness filled his heart until his chest constricted and he was almost sure that soon his heart would explode. He tried to sweep out the grin that was repeatedly tugging at his lips every time he remembered what he had just been through.Ciara was his mate.This whole thing about destiny and mate was so fucking crazy that he had a hard time believing it.She came out of nowhere to his proximity, pulled his strings, and made him crazy, and Boom! She was his mate all along.Scott returned to the border and did his job, combing every inch of the area and making sure things were safe. He waited until the team from the second shift came to take his place. They exchanged information about what happened and Scott almost said that he had met his mate and they made love in the free area between territories.Well, if he said that, no one could blame hi
The Dust Paradise was packed with visitors. Smoke and the smell of sweat and wood polish filled the air. Scott wedged himself through the crowd as he walked into the place. His eyes rounded in fear when they caught a girl who was standing on the table right in the middle of the room.It was Ciara. She was carrying a bottle of beer in one hand and a glass of liquor, which looked like whiskey, in the other. She screamed and laughed along with the crowd surrounding her, twisting her body to the music.Anger burned Scott in an instant. The first thing he wanted to do was punch all the men in there, then burn the place to the ground.He clenched his fists, shoving roughly those who got in his way. They were all thrown aside and crashed into other visitors. Several people protested, but they shut their mouths as Scott glared at them.“Move,” Scott growled at the men surrounding the round table where Ciara was dancing.Ciara turned and looked at him, then a big smile spread across her face.
Scott carried Ciara out of the car as soon as they got home. When he stopped at the door and was about to open it, Ciara woke up from her sleep.She moaned and blinked, and then looked at him. “Scott?” She frowned and her voice was as soft as the early morning breeze.All of Scott’s anger subsided as soon as he saw her bright blue eyes. He was planning to scold her in the first place. He wanted to tell her to be more careful, to take care of herself, and not lose control in public. But when he looked at her now, the only thing he could do was smile back at her.“We’re home,” he said. “I’ll take you to bed. Go back to sleep.”She stretched and motioned for him to put her down. She almost fell trying to get to her feet, so he caught her by the wrist and kept her from falling.“Watch your step,” he muttered after successfully opening the door and guiding her inside.It was dark inside because he turned off all the lights before leaving. He closed the door and felt the wall for a switch.
“What?”There was a hint of surprise in that one word, and after it, disappointment etched on Scott’s face. Ciara had mentally prepared herself for his disappointed reaction, but her heart sank when she saw it firsthand. She felt like she had hurt him and herself.“Why?” was his next question. He scooted closer and changed his position. His eyes were fixed on her face, and the corners of his eyebrows furrowed slightly, emphasizing his disenchantment. “What’s wrong?” he asked again.“No, nothing’s wrong.” She shook her head, averting her gaze. She held her pillow even tighter. “It’s just... I don’t think your pack members will accept me.”“What are you saying? Of course, they will accept you! They have to accept you because you’re the mate that the Moon Goddess destined for me! No matter how resistant they are, they must accept that reality!”“But I’m not ready!” Ciara snapped, and then she held her breath while covering her mouth. “I’m... I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell at you.”“Tha
It took all of Ciara’s determination to free herself from Scott. The morning practice whistle sounded and Scott pulled away, breaking their kiss. But Ciara was reluctant to let go of her hands and feet, which were wrapped around his body like a python.Scott smirked and draped his hands over her arms. “Come on. We have to get to the courtyard or someone will search and find us here.”She should have said that because she was the one who worried that their relationship would be exposed prematurely, but right now it was so hard for her to let him go.After stealing a few more seconds, she finally lowered her hands together with a long sigh of disappointment.He took her chin and looked her straight in the eyes. “See you at home.”Those words warmed her heart and made it swell with happiness. She smiled and he brushed his lips against hers. Before she could wrap her arms around his neck again, he pulled away and rubbed the tip of her nose with his thumb. “I’ll go first.”“OK.”She saw hi
Scott thought his days would go perfectly from here on. In one month, he would announce to all the members of the pack that Ciara would be Luna for Silvercrest. They would lead this pack together and live happily ever after.However, that dream would shatter on that afternoon. After their routine training was over and all the patrol team members had gone home, someone knocked on the main team office door. Scott and Burke were discussing the rearrangement of sub-team members, and they both looked up towards the door.“Hi, Scott,” it was Mila, the alliance leader. Scott’s heart seemed to stop when Mila said, “Do you have a moment? I want to talk to you.” She paused for a moment. “It’s about the rogue.”Scott exchanged glances with Burke, and Burke nodded, understanding that Scott had asked him to leave the room and give him space so he could talk to Mila.“Please, have a seat.” Burke offered Mila his seat as he stood up. Mila stepped in and smiled at him.“Thanks.” Then she sat across f
