Chapter 70: Whole at last

**Jack** -

I can’t take my eyes off of my mate, she is the most beautiful thing in this world and I know that I would do anything to ensure her happiness. For the last week I have been dying inside a little at a time waiting for today to finally arrive. I can’t hold back any longer, I need to be one with her, so as soon as she finishes speaking I speak up.

"Now that Cassie has officially become your Luna," I call over the noise from the group, "I think it is high time she officially becomes my mate, please enjoy the food and drinks provided, party until you collapse, but please, I must beg your forgiveness, Cassie and I will not be joining you," the crowd go wild as Cassie blushes from head to toe after my words register. She buries her face in my chest as catcalls fill the air. I quickly scoop her up into my arms and practically run back to the pack house. We had decided to wait to mate and mark until after the Luna ceremony, difficult as the past week has been, I know we both feel the wait was well worth the agony of fighting our desires and temptations. We have spent that time getting to know each other inside and out and I know there could be nobody better suited to be by my side as we move into the future.

**Cassie** -

Jack lifts me over his shoulder in a fireman's lift and escorts me away from the Luna ceremony amid wolf whistles and cheers, giggles from the young pups and a few raucous comments from some of the guys my age. He practically runs away from the gathering and lifting my head up at an awkward angle, I catch sight of some of the older couples watching us with knowing looks on their faces as they share side glances at one another in understanding of their Alphas desperation to get me alone. It is almost unheard of for a mated pair to wait to complete the bond, in most cases, when you find your mate, you are overcome with the sensations of the bond and everything happens very quickly, so long as you are both of age, although people can sense the bond even if their mate is not of mating age, but the bond is softer, offers more of a caring side rather than a physical pull, once both wolves are 17 the bond snaps into place much more firmly for the older wolf, but with my history Jack has been incredible, patient and understanding and now I feel I am ready for this. In truth, deep down I have been since I met him, but something was holding me back, something my subconscious was telling me, now though, all doubts are gone, all negative thoughts about myself have evaporated under the pressure of his love for me, and of my love for him.

We make it to our suite in record time, his eagerness as obvious to me as my arousal is to him as I lay over his shoulder, head down and hip brushing his cheek with each step he takes.

Very slowly, almost reverently, he lowers me onto the bed and stands between my legs looking down at me, as though I were his favourite dish and he is a starving man. I push myself up to a sitting position and reach for him, this magnificent man of my dreams. Jack lowers himself to his knees before me and very slowly and gently begins to undress me, he first removes my shoes, running his tongue along the arch of my bare foot. Then he skims his arms up my legs, raising the skirt of my dress as he goes, kissing each bit of skin as it is exposed to the warm air of our room. No words are spoken, there is no need for words, we both know this is real, this is more than the bond, and we both know this is what we want, to be one. He touches my neck, the softness of his fingertips raising tingles along my skin and spreading throughout my body, causing my centre to throb for his touch. I whimper at the contact, longing for more. He lifts me into his arms again before standing me beside the bed to remove my dress, I am without a bra and when he sees this he freezes then gulps hard before reaching out and softly caressing the hardened peaks that are begging for his attention.

Laying me back on the bed he undresses under my watchful gaze, before he again kneels between my legs and lifts them both to rest on his shoulders as he licks the length of me before focussing his attention on my bundle of nerves and sliding a finger into my tight channel.

He pushes me to the highest of highs I have yet to experience and I am moving my head from side to side fighting the overwhelming sensations he elicits from me.

“Let go love,” he says softly, and I come undone, my juices flowing onto his hand and tongue. Breathing deeply I open my eyes to see him leaning over me, a gentle smile on his lips that glisten with my orgasm before leaning down and kissing me with a passion he has so far been holding back. There will be no holding back tonight, no stopping before things go too far, tonight we will do it all, and we will finally cement the bond and our love for one another.

Moving slowly, he moves me up the bed so that my head rests on the pillows and he settles between my legs, pushing them further apart with his knees, then he rubs himself along my folds before pushing inside me slightly, he pauses here and locks eyes with me. I give a slight nod, bracing myself for the pain he tells me will come this first time and he pushes forward, entering me further, until we both feel the resistance. Pausing again he gives me time to adjust to the new sensation before pressing forward and breaking through the barrier. A sharp stinging emanates from my core as pain floods my entire being, vibrating from my centre and bringing tears to my eyes, I take several deep breaths and the pain changes to a dull throb that is soon overpowered by the feeling of fullness that comes from my mate being inside me, again I nod as Jack watches over me, concern in his eyes,

Slowly, almost hesitatingly Jack starts to move above me, he pushes into me and slides out smoothly a few time until I wrap my legs around his waist, forcing him deeper, he seems to lose control at that and starts thrusting faster and faster, and the pain begins mingling with pleasure until the pleasure eclipses the pain completely and all I feel is the perfect friction stoking the fire which is building within me. The noises coming from my mouth are foreign, unlike any noises Jack or anything else has pulled from me before, almost animalistic and if I weren’t enjoying it so much then I might have been embarrassed, but the fire building inside me is all I can make sense of right in this moment. Before I reach the peak that I sense looming close by, I feel Lexi’s canines extend and at the same moment I see Jack’s face, looking at me in wonder as he lowers his head to my neck and pierces my skin, instinctively I mimic his actions and at the exact same moment we fully bite down on each other, our orgasms hit us both as a rush of emotions floods our now completed bond and I feel all the love this wondrous man has for me. Everything blurs after that and I feel Jack withdraw from me which causes me to whimper in distress before everything goes dark and I fall into a deep sleep.

**Jack** -

Watching Cassie come apart in my arms was something I vowed to myself I would see as often as possible, the way her eyes roll, the small mewling sounds emanating from the back of her throat, the curve of her neck as she stretched upwards chasing her release, the way she responded to my touch. Barely a word was spoken between us, it wasn't necessary tonight, tonight was about the physical, about connecting on a new level, and it was everything I had imagined it would be and so much more. I knew tonight would be special for both of us, but this beautiful gift before me was beyond all of my hopes and dreams. The feeling of being inside her was like nothing I had ever experienced before, marking her and feeling her emotions flood through me was euphoric and even now, as she sleeps, I can still feel her love for me.
