Bonded Beyond Regret (Mated to the Monster: Season 2)

CHAPTER 15

SAMUEL

Time has flown by, but I’ve kept busy getting everything ready for today. It’s a big day and I want it to go perfectly. Even though I’ve been checking on the changes to the Alpha suite and keeping up with the work I needed to do for the pack, I’ve been able to spend the rest of my time with Nyx and Aisley.

I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. After today, everything is changing, and I’ll have my girls close.

I find myself smiling as I think about the day Nyx and Aisley came to visit me after Nyx told her daughter about our relationship. From the moment Aisley walked in, I knew she had something serious on her mind. There was no way I could have been prepared for finding out that Nyx talked to her about us being together. It was such a nice surprise, and I was thrilled at how Aisley accepted me with open arms.

Even though I was hoping we would let Aisley know what was happening between us, I wasn’t going to push Nyx about it. That was definitely something that had to happen at a pace Nyx was comfortable with.

I’m not sure why she decided that was the day to talk to Aisley, but I’m glad she did. My wolf and I had already accepted Aisley as our pup, but now everything is out in the open. Even when I’m not with them, I can feel the love of my females.

It’s made me stronger and happier.

Even the most mundane tasks I need to do for the pack are better because I know Nyx and Aisley are waiting for me.

The pack can feel the change as well. With Nyx in my life, I feel more settled and grounded. That’s a feeling that has trickled down to every level of the pack. There are more smiles and more laughter. Some of the wolves I was the most concerned about are taking a turn and improving.

Marlene is a great example. She’ll be inducted to the pack tomorrow night before the Full Moon Run. I thought we might have to put it off for a lot longer, just to make sure that she’s healthy and her wolf is strong enough for the link to form, but she’s been thriving. She’s been gaining weight and finding her place in the pack.

Her little baby bump has even made an appearance. That was a huge relief to me because it means her baby is growing and gaining strength just like their mom.

There is not a doubt in my mind that the time Nyx has been spending with her has helped her turn a corner. Yes, there is still sadness in Marlene’s eyes and I’m sure she’s still in pain, but I also can sense how much lighter she is.

As I look across the dining room, I notice how intently Mike is watching Marlene. I hope something happens there because they would both benefit. Mike came to us not long after I took over as Alpha because his mate rejected him. He didn’t mean to cross into the territory. He figured he’d be a rogue for the rest of his life, but the Goddess had other plans for him.

His loyalty to me and the pack is unparalleled.

Marlene might not be ready, but I have a feeling Mike will wait for something more while forming a friendship with her. There’s a longing in his eyes when he looks at her, one I recognize. He hasn’t looked at any other of the females in the pack like that.

“Daddy Sammy,” Aisley’s voice pulls my attention away from Marlene and Mike. When I look at Aisley, she gives me the sweetest smile and bats her eye lashes at me. I barely stop myself from laughing at how damn adorable she is. “Can we have some ice cream after dinner?”

I make a humming sound and tap my chin like I have to think hard about her request. While I could look to Nyx to make sure it’s okay for me to say yes, I know that I don’t need to. The trust my little warrior has given me, especially the freedom she’s allowed me to build a relationship with our pup, makes me fall in love with her a little more every day.

“I think we can come up with some kind of treat,” I keep my response vague. Nyx sits up straighter in her seat after I tell them, “I do have a surprise for you ladies after dinner.”

Aisley grins while almost vibrating with excitement. “A surprise? What kind of surprise?” She drops her chin to her chest and levels me with a serious look. “Is it a good one?”

“I can’t say more or else it won’t be a surprise.”

Aisley rolls her eyes and huffs out an annoyed breath that has me biting back my laughter as Nyx tries to hide the smile on her face. There is something magical about my little warrior’s smile. I love seeing it.

“It’s done, Alpha,” Seth mind links me and I can’t help but smile right before I take my last bite of dinner as I thank him.

“That’s a big grin,” Nyx teases me.

I look at her and wink, not giving anything away. It’s obvious that she’s just as curious and excited about what I have up my sleeve as Aisley is. I’m a little nervous, but I think it’ll be a good surprise. My only concern is Nyx thinking I’ve overstepped.

If she does, then she’ll just have to get over it because it’s a done deal now.

There’s a slight whine in Aisley’s voice, “Is it after dinner yet?”

With a look between my girls, I grin and stand up. “Since you’re both done, I think it’s time. Follow me.”

I don’t look back as I head out of the dining room and up the stairs in the pack house. As much as I want to look back, my nerves won’t let me.

“They’re going to love it,” my wolf reassures me.

The moment I step into our suite, I can see the differences right away. I step aside and allow Nyx and Aisley to step inside after me.

Aisley doesn’t notice anything different and grumbles, “I hope there’s ice cream up here along with the surprise.”

Nyx looks around and gasps before turning toward me with wide eyes. I know what she’s seeing. There are a few pictures from their house mixed in with pictures of us along with little things that belong to my girls mixed in around the living room area.

“Why are there pictures of Andrew here?” Nyx’s voice is cautious, but she doesn’t sound mad or in pain.

I wrap an arm around her waist and pull her to me until we’re chest to chest. “I can’t take another night without the two ladies who own my heart with me. It was already torture, but I needed a little time to make some changes to the suite. Now they’re done and it’s time for you to move into your new home.”

Nyx blinks, her face a blank mask that makes it impossible for me to tell what she’s thinking. I feel like I can’t breathe, fear making me second guess my actions. When her lips start to tip up into a slow smile, I suck in a breath and my entire body relaxes.

Her voice is filled with cautious hope, “You moved us in here?”

“It’s where you belong.”

Nyx tips up on her tiptoes and kisses my lips softly. It’s quick, but it’s filled with so much emotion. “Love you, Sam,” she murmurs against my lips.

I press my forehead against hers and memorize the way the gold flecks in her eyes sparkle with happiness. “Love you, my little warrior.”

“So, we’re living here now?” We turn just enough to see Aisley spinning around in the middle of the room with her arms spread out wide. She looks at us with pure joy written on her face. “Really?”

“Really,” I promise.

With an arm wrapped around Nyx’s shoulders, I start down the hallway that leads to the bedrooms. I stop at the first one and nod toward it. Even though I debated about which bedroom should be hers, I decided that since she’s our oldest pup it’ll be okay to put her in the farthest room from ours. That way when we have more pups, and I do plan on having more, we can set up a nursery closer to us.

Aisley lets out an excited yelp when she notices her name on the door. She looks up at us as she bounces on her toes.

“Go on,” I urge her, “check it out.”

When she pushes inside the room, Nyx and I are right behind her. Everything is set up and ready for her. I debated about making the room super girly but decided to keep it softer and more neutral. This way it’ll be able to grow with her. There’s a mural on one wall that looks like the purple clearing that’s my favorite place on pack lands. It’s a place where her imagination is allowed to run wild.

“It’s beautiful,” Nyx whispers.

“I love it,” Aisley almost screams.

I chuckle as I watch my pup run from one corner of the room to the other and then all around. She doesn’t leave an inch of the room unexplored. My wolf and I purr together, relieved and so damn pleased that she likes her new room.

“How about that ice cream?” I offer. When Aisley gives me a look that says she is not ready to leave her room, I can’t help but chuckle. “Not to worry, I made sure the kitchen up here is stocked with our favorite flavors.

“In that case, let’s go,” Aisley sasses and rushes out of her room.

I’m about to follow her, but Nyx stops me with a hand on my arm. When I turn to her, I notice one tear slide down her cheek. I brush it away with my thumb as I search her captivating eyes.

“Is this okay? Did I go too far? I know it’s only been a month since you officially joined the pack and I don’t want to push you, Nyx, but I want to keep moving forward. I need you both here. I need my family.”

Her hands come up to caress my jaw. “It’s perfect, Samuel,” she assures me. “This room and how you integrated us into your home is just right.”

“Our home,” I gently correct her.

She nods and smiles so brightly it’s like watching the sun rise. “Our home,” she agrees. She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. “I’m ready.”

My eyebrows shoot up and hit my hairline. “I’m sorry?”

“She wants us to mark her,” my growls seductively.

My mouth falls open before I snap it closed, unsure if my wolf is right. I swallow hard and try to clear my throat, but my voice still comes out husky, “I think you need to spell it out for me, little warrior.”

“I’m ready to be yours completely, Sam,” her voice is a soft, but with an edge of steel to it. “I want you to mark me.”

I yank her against my chest, needing to feel her body mold to mine. “Do you know what you’re asking?” She narrows her eyes at me, but I smirk. “I just mean do you realize that if I mark you tonight then I’ll be announcing you as the Luna tomorrow before the run and before Marlene is inducted into the pack. We can do the ceremony whenever you want, but that’ll only be a formality”

“Samuel,” she purrs my name and my cock throbs as my wolf grumbles, not at all pleased with me that I haven’t swept our female up in our arms and marked her already, “I’m ready. For all of it,” she clarifies. “I’m ready to be yours, to take my place at your side and help this pack grow. I’m ready to help our pack members heal and find their own happiness. I’m ready for our family to grow when the Moon Goddess decides to bless us. I’m ready for it all.”

I don’t say anything; I can’t. Instead, I take her mouth in a brutal kiss and pour everything I’m feeling into that kiss.

“Come on, I’m wasting away without ice cream,” Aisley’s voice has us breaking apart, but I don’t let Nyx pull away from me.

Nyx’s bright laughter wraps around me as she presses her forehead against my chest. “We’ll be finishing this later,” I vow against the top of her head and feel her nod.

It takes far too long for us to eat ice cream, even though I love every moment I get to spend with Aisley, and then to get our pup into bed. The moment she is I stalk toward my female, pick her up and throw her over my shoulder while rushing toward our room.

I waste no time getting us undressed. I hear more than one garment rip, but I don’t give a single fuck if our clothing becomes confetti. The need to be inside of her and to mark her as mine is something I can no longer ignore.

“Ours,” my wolf snarls. “She is ours.”

I roll my eyes as I place Nyx in the center of our large bed. When I stand back up, I take a moment to admire the beautiful female in front of us. Her black hair is spread across the pillows and her skin is flush with excitement and arousal. I can smell her desire for me, and it makes my mouth water.

I can find the faint evidence on her body from where she carried Aisley, but that only makes her more stunning.

The longer I look at her the more she starts to wiggle and fidget on the bed. When I smile, it’s large and filled with teeth.

“All the better to bite her with,” my wolf chortles.

“You take my breath away, Nyx,” I murmur softly as I move to the foot of the bed. I start with her ankles kissing, licking and nipping at her skin. “I plan to worship every inch of you tonight before we bind ourselves together for the rest of our lives.” Since I’m watching her face intently, I see the pain flash in her eyes. “And we will be living for a very long time together,” I vow. “So long you’ll probably get sick of me,” I tease her, grateful when she smirks.

Her hands run through her hair as I move up her body. “Never,” she denies the possibility fiercely.

I do just as I promised and love every inch of her skin, my lips and mouth leaving fire and goosebumps in their wake. When I’m looming over her and our lips are almost touching, I flip us so I’m on my back and looking up at the woman who has stolen every bit of my heart and burrowed her way into my soul.

“Samuel,” she gasps as she straddles my lap. It’s a soft admonishment, but the fire in her eyes tells me just how much she likes the new position.

“Ride me, little warrior,” I grit out through my teeth.

Her delicate fingers wrap around the base of my cock as she positions herself over the weeping head. We both groan as she slowly, too fucking slowly, slides down my length. I want to pump up into her and take over, but I grip her hips and hold onto my control. It’s not fucking easy but watching her take control is mesmerizing and I don’t want to miss a second of it.

As she starts to move, her hips swirling and then moving up and down, I’m slammed with so much pride for this female that it’s hard to breathe. Look at her. Just fucking look at her. At how far she has come. At how freely and easily she gives of herself. Of how much love she’s capable of.

I’m one lucky fucking wolf.

When I can’t take it anymore and it’s clear her muscles are straining, I use my grip on her hips to help her move faster. The way her head falls back, exposing her neck is a damn siren song that can’t be ignored.

I sit up quickly, loving the feeling of her hard nipples digging into my chest which is now covered by a thin sheen of sweat. My mouth immediately goes to her marking spot, wanting to make sure she’s ready for what is about to happen.

Her moans are loud and desperate. She’s right on the edge.

“That’s right,” I grunt. “You’re so tight and wet. I need you to come and milk my cum from my cock.”

She starts to pant and the walls of her pussy flutter just as my balls draw up and the room around us goes still. It’s almost as if the Goddess herself freezes the world and magnifies our pleasure. Just as she’s about to tip over, she catches me completely off guard by tilting her head and sinking her teeth into my marking spot.

My instincts drive me, and I strike. The taste of Nyx’s blood coats my tongue as I bite her, binding us together and sealing our fate.

As our bond snaps into place, I shoot rope and rope of cum deep inside of her. Her pussy squeezes me just right, almost as if begging for every drop. Everything fucking shimmers, including our bond as it wraps around us and strengthens the love we had already found in each other.

Nothing else matters as we both tend to our claiming bites. We cling to each other, breathing heavy and basking the afterglow of our pleasure and our bonding.

“Now you’re mine,” I growl possessively.

“I already was,” she points out, a teasing lilt to her voice.

But she’s right. She was mine the moment she arrived at Waning Moon. I wasn’t ready to admit it then, and she wasn’t ready to accept it.

“Love you, Nyx.”

“Love you, Sam.”

Our wolves purr, contentment and hope flowing through our bond to chase away the lingering regret of our past.
