Chapter 113 part 2: My Heart is Yours
With their hands intertwined, Ares guided Esmeralda to the center of the altar stone. His eyes devoured the beauty of the human female who stared back at him with bright green eyes burning with desire. His entire body reacted to her gaze; his cock hardened even more, like a perfect mirage he would gladly lose himself in.
Esmeralda was mesmerized by the werewolf staring down at her—the magnetism between them was immeasurable. She belonged to him, and more importantly, he belonged to her. The sheer possessiveness that flooded her emotions was insane. Her heart beat in a rhythm that gave her the strength to face anyone and anything just to ensure nobody would ever take him away from her.
"You are mine!" she said with pure attitude, leaving absolutely no room for argument.
Ares’s wolf swelled with pride; his human female was claiming him loud and clear, in front of everyone. He touched the mark she had left on his neck, a gesture to confirm her claim.
She poked his chest with her index finger, tapping it repeatedly as she commanded, "I am your Luna! Only me! Not that snake! Do you understand me, big wolf?"
Ares was intoxicated, but even in his state, her fierce attitude caught him by surprise. He smiled, a grin so wide it bared his fangs and crinkled the corners of his eyes.
"Wow, you are so handsome!" her bright green eyes widened in awe.
"I am yours, my female. There is no one else. There never was."
He grabbed the hand that was "assaulting" him, completely captivated by the absolute possessiveness the fragile human held over him. The feeling didn't bother him at all; in that moment, she was acting just like the females of his own species. He felt exactly the same way—she was his, and no one else's.
"I am yours, body and soul, Esmeralda. Right here." He dragged her hand down to where his heart was pounding. "My heart is yours, if you want it."
"I want everything, from head to toe, and your heart too! I wish I were a werewolf so I could bite you and mark you!"
"You already marked me, female!" He pointed to the mark on his neck, making her smile triumphantly.
"I want to mark your heart too. That way, you'll be mine forever, and no snake will ever be able to steal you from me!"
"Do it. Mark your male again!"
All of this talk would have felt bizarre to her under normal circumstances, but right now, it felt entirely logical and natural to declare her near-obsession for this man.
She didn't know it, but their bond had tightened significantly since she first marked him. What she was feeling, though new to her, was exactly what Ares had felt for her from the very moment their eyes first met.
Completely shameless, she stood on her tiptoes and bit into his chest with all her strength, desperate to mark the very organ beating wildly with emotion inside him.
Ares closed his eyes, trying to comprehend how a human could mark a werewolf—how her fragile, bone teeth could pierce through his thick hide and flesh.
He noticed that her little human teeth cut through his flesh with ease, and he finally understood. It didn't matter if she was human, wolf, or anything else; she was made for him, and their bodies spoke the same language.
Esmeralda felt a profound connection as she looked into Ares's eyes, the bond between them growing stronger with every passing second. While she held him close, her heart raced with a sense of belonging and intense attraction that she had never felt before.
She leaned in, and Ares whispered words of devotion against her ear before capturing her mouth in a deep, passionate kiss. In that moment, both surrendered entirely to their instincts and the overwhelming love they felt for one another.
As they moved together, the world around them seemed to fade away. Ares held her with a fierce tenderness, his hands tracing the lines of her body as he marveled at the strength and passion of his human mate. He wanted to feel every bit of her presence, cherishing the skin-on-skin contact and the rhythmic harmony of their movements.
The intensity of their connection reached new heights, with every touch and every shared breath reinforcing the ancient bond that united them. They were no longer just two individuals; they were a pair, soulmates whose destinies were now permanently entwined.
In the height of their shared passion, Ares made sure to declare his love once more. He spoke of his pride and happiness in having her as his Luna, repeating how much it meant to him that she had claimed his heart as her own.
