Chapter 24

"I want you to mark me. I want to complete the mate bond!" I tell him.

"I don't know Maya; you are still healing." Tommy says rubbing the back of his neck clearly nervous.

"I know, but if we bond and something happens to me you would be able to find me. Our bond would mean I could tell you if i am in trouble! I know it may seem like a rushed decision, but I think it will give us both piece of mind. Don't you think?" I ask him with my most best puppy dog pout for extra measure.

He sighs and turns away debating my words for a moment. I knew he wanted to complete the mating bond since we met, but with everything that had happened we never had the chance. With what had happened, I wasn't sure who I could trust, and I wanted to be sure if anything ever happened to me that Tommy could find me. Because as much as I wished I was confident I would be safe here, I wasn't sure if I would be for long. This Alpha wanted me and seemed to have enough help to find me here and find out things about me.

I was sure word about James’s death would reach him soon, and he would try again to bring me to him. All i felt right now was paranoid, waiting for that moment when anyone would drag me away and deliver me to him. I needed something, a lifeline, and that was Tommy and our bond.

"OK, I will bite you, but we need to wait until you are more healed to complete the bond. OK?" He says hesitantly.

A feeling of relief came over me, and I leaned into him and grazed my lips against his. He took the hint and wrapped his had around my neck pulling me closer to him to deepen the kiss. This time it was more intense as the thought of marking me started to take over him, and his wolf let out a rumbling growl deep in Tommy's chest. I laughed slightly at this, it seemed like his wolf had wanted to mark me just as much. The kiss became heated and when we finally pulled away we were both gasping for air. Tommy began kissing down the side of my face and down the side of my neck and suddenly all his self-control seemed to have been lost. Our deal to wait until I was fully healed seemed to have been forgotten as his hands tucked under my shirt and brushing softly along my stomach.

Things escalated quickly and we were lost in this moment together wrapped in each other's arms. When things reached the point of true bliss, it was time for Tommy to mark me and complete our bond. Tommy leaned in breathing in my scent and brushing my skin leaving soft kisses on the spot where he planned to mark me. The feeling made me shiver below him, and that only seemed to egg him on. My breaths became shaky as I felt his canines’ slide across my bare skin, and he let out almost a possessive growl. He was so close and when we both could not hold back any longer his teeth pierced my neck and a rush of intense pleasure and pain rushed over me.

Without realizing my own canines had emerged and as if on auto pilot I sunk my own teeth into the skin along his neck making him growl deeply and releasing his hold on me. We had marked each other, and I could feel the bond between us forming. It was as if a part of my brain had been clouded and was suddenly clearing and I could feel everything more. His touch on my skin made me feel warm all over.

"Beautiful and all mine." I heard inside my head.

I froze for a moment. I looked at Tommy who was looking down at me with a proud smirk. Did he say that?

"It was me love. Now I can speak to you through the mind link." He said in my head smiling down at me. "I can also hear you as well!"

Like he could hear everything?

"Yes everything, if you leave your mid open then I can hear everything." He says.

Ok, not sure I like having all my thoughts out in the open like that.

"Don't worry you will learn to shut some things out, but I hope you won’t do that to hide from me. I want you to always be honest with me." Tommy says kissing the mark on my neck.

The action made me shift beneath him, it had sent a strange sensation all over me. What was that?

"When I touch your mark, it will make you feel a lot of things. Especially pleasure." Tommy said out loud.

Even though we had just mated, that statement made me blush like crazy. One touch to my mark and he could make me want him, which I found annoying but also I kind of liked the idea. Although he would never need to use such a trick to make me want him, because let me tell you Tommy was hot. Everything about him was attractive and now he was giving off this cocky confident energy and it was damn sexy. Something tells me that we would be 'resting' well today.

Being with Tommy now that we are mated caused me to feel everything ten times more which made each touch feel so intense and almost overwhelming.

"Are you getting tired?" Tommy asked a couple of hours later.

"Not even a little." I said, and it was true.

Something about being with Tommy made me feel alive and nowhere near tired, in fact I could last a lot longer if he can. All my pain and injuries had been long since forgotten and i had not even realized that they had completely healed until I had pushed Tommy over and straddled him. I moved forward putting my weight against my arms, and what was my broken wrist was completely healed. When I realized my eyes widened in surprise catching Tommy's attention.

"What's wrong?" He asks with a breathy voice.

"My wrist. It-it's healed." I say with a stutter.

"What?" He turns suddenly moving my arm to examine it.

He slowly unwraps it and we look at my arm with slight surprise.

"It was supposed to take at least two days to heal." He said a little confused.

He looked up at me and moved my hair aside to examine the wound on my head. His eyebrows bunched together in confusion as he brushed across the skin where the wound had been testing my reaction.
All I felt was his gentle touch and the tingling sensation from our bond, but nothing more.

I had completely healed in a matter of hours.
