Chapter 6 - Marking

A few days later, the twins were getting settled into their new home and were making plans for their dual commitment ceremony. Jasmine and Brandie had decided on a double ceremony to make it easier on their parents. Aaron and Titus were happy to do whatever their mates wanted as long as they were committing to them.

Jasmine and Aaron were letting Dakota and Jax out for an early morning run around the pack grounds. Aaron had said he always ran the pack grounds in the morning to check things out. Jasmine decided that she would make it routine to run with him.

Dakota and Jax loved this time of day, it was still cool outside, and the air flowed over their fur, making them feel like they could run like the wind. As they were running through a thick of trees, Dakota suddenly stopped. She started sniffing the air and looked at Jax, mindlinking him.

*"There is something evil lurking out here, Jax. I'm picking up a faint scent, but I don't know exactly what it is. The way my fur is standing up on my neck, I know it's evil, and it's not of this world."*

*"Let's get back to the packhouse so Aaron and Jasmine can talk to Titus and Brandie about this."* Dakota nodded as they started running back to the packhouse. She tried to pick up the scent again, but she was unsuccessful. They got back to the packhouse and shifted into their humans.

Aaron and Jasmine ran inside to the Beta office, where Titus and Brandie were waiting for them. Aaron had mindlinked Titus on the way back to let him know they needed to talk.

When they had first found out that Jasmine and Brandie were their mates, Alpha Dominick and Luna Kaleigh had sat the men down and explained to them the talk with the Moon Goddess that had happened years ago. So the men were aware that something would be coming for their mates, but they didn't care because they would do whatever they could to protect them.

"What's going on, Aaron?" Titus and Brandie were sitting on the couch holding hands. Aaron and Jasmine took the loveseat across from them.

"We were out doing our morning run, and Dakota picked up a scent in the thick of trees north of the packhouse. She said it was evil and not of this world. My gut tells me that someone is watching and waiting for something to do with our mates."

Titus looked over at Brandie and squeezed her hand. His heart ached at the thought of something happening to her.
"What do we need to do?" Titus looked at the others, hoping someone had an answer.

"I don't think there is anything we can do right now. It's best to wait and not let whatever was watching know we're on to them. Maybe we all four should start going for the morning run to see if we can pick up anything." Brandie looked at Titus to see what he thought.

"I agree with you, Brandie. Is that okay with you two?" He looked over to Aaron and Jasmine, who were both nodding.

"Yes, all of us would be better. We have to stay together with our mates, though. Nobody goes off on their own, okay?" Aaron looked around, and everyone agreed with him. "We'll start tomorrow morning."

"Aaron, I was thinking that we should go ahead and mark each other with this new development. I don't think we should wait for the official commitment ceremony. I know our wolves can mindlink in wolf form, but I would like to mindlink with you in case something happens. I think Titus and Brandie should mark each other as well." Jasmine looked toward the other couple.

"I think you're right, Jasmine. Titus, if you're okay with it, I would like for us to mark each other." Brandie looked over at Titus, and he was smiling at her with his eyes shining.

"Let's do it. Aaron?" They all looked to the Alpha, who was staring at Jasmine.

"You don't care about doing it before the ceremony, Jasmine? I'm fine with doing it now, but I want to make sure you won't feel cheated by doing it before the actual commitment ceremony." Jasmine smiled at her handsome mate and took his hand in hers.

"Aaron, I don't care about all the fancy stuff. I just want to make you mine." Aaron smiled at her.

"Alright, we'll do it before your Luna ceremony tonight." Aaron and Jasmine left to go to their office.

"Brandie, how do you stay so strong all the time?" Titus pulled Brandie onto his lap and held her tightly.

"Titus, my parents were very open with Jasmine and me since we were young. So we knew that this would happen after we met our mates." Brandie ran her fingers through his hair.

"Alright, Brandie. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that something out there wants to hurt you. When do you want to mark each other?" Titus looked at her beautiful slender neck and couldn't wait to sink his fangs into her.

"Let's do it now. There's no reason to wait any longer."

Brandie bared her neck to him, giving Titus easier access. He licked his lips and kissed the spot he would mark her. As his fangs came out, he sunk them deep into her flesh, where her collarbone and neck meet.

Brandie felt a moment of pain, but it was quickly replaced with immense pleasure. It was so overwhelming feeling his fangs deep inside her that she thought she would have an orgasm. When he pulled his fangs back, she felt a moment of disappointment.

Titus saw the glazed look in Brandie's eyes and chuckled. He turned her face toward his and kissed her passionately, his tongue playing with hers. After he pulled away, he bared his neck for her to mark him.

Brandie looked at Titus' neck and felt her fangs protruding. She leaned down slightly and bit into his flesh. As intense as it was when he bit her, this feeling of being in him and tasting him was even more pleasurable. When she retracted her fangs, she smiled at him.

*"Now I can hear you in my head, and we belong to each other for eternity."* Brandie was shocked when she heard Titus in her head.

She knew what she wanted, and she needed it now. Brandie turned on his lap so that she was straddling him. She leaned down and kissed him while sliding her hands under his shirt.

"I want you now, Titus." Brandie's soft voice made Titus jump. He lifted her off him and went over to lock the door. When he returned to his mate, he kissed her while undoing her shorts. He quickly pulled them with her panties down and then took off her shirt.

Brandie was standing before him in all her beautiful glory, and he quickly slipped off his clothes. Titus sat back on the couch and helped Brandie back onto his lap so she could straddle him again. She leaned down to kiss him while slowly lowering herself onto him until he was fully inside her.

She started moving her hips, riding him in a slow, steady rhythm. Titus thought he would go out of his mind as he watched her. Brandies gorgeous full breasts bounced in front of him as she moved. He took one of the nipples into his mouth, nipping and sucking it, causing her to moan in delight.

Brandie started moving faster, and Titus grabbed her hips so he could join her movements. As they found their rhythm, they knew it wouldn't be long. Titus kissed the spot he marked her and sucked on it. When Brandie felt his mouth on her, it sent her over the edge. She screamed out and came so hard while he continued sucking on his mark that she thought she would pass out.

When Titus felt her walls clenching around him and her juices flowing, it was all he needed to come. After they were done, Brandie stayed on him with him, still buried deep inside her. Neither of them wanted to move.

"Brandie, that was amazing. I feel more connected to you than ever." Titus rubbed her back, which had a sheen of sweat.

"Me too, Titus. How about we finish this in our bedroom? I'm not done yet." He didn't need any more than her words to make him move. They both quickly dressed and went to their bedroom, where they spent most of the morning and part of the afternoon.

Jasmine and Aaron had gone to the Alpha office, but Jasmine was hesitating. She wanted to mark Aaron now and not wait another second. She felt it was imperative to do it as soon as possible.

"Aaron, can we mark each other now? I don't want to wait a few more hours. I feel like we need to do it now" Jasmine looked up at Aaron's surprised expression.

"If you feel this strongly, Jasmine, we can do it right here in the office." Aaron walked over and locked the door. He then took her hand, led her to one of the armchairs, and sat down, pulling her onto his lap.

"Are you ready?" He asked her softly, looking at her lovely neck where he would mark her.

"Yes, Aaron, do it now." Jasmine titled her head to give him access. She felt his lips on her first, and then his fangs were inside her making her tense up. After a few seconds, the pain went away, and she had a feeling of completeness flow over her. When he pulled his fangs out, he kissed her forehead and smiled.

"Your turn." Aaron bared his neck for her and waited. Jasmine felt excitement run through her body. She leaned forward and sank her fangs into him. As they went deeper and deeper, Jasmine heard him moan in pleasure. She pulled her fangs out and looked into his eyes.

"Now you're all mine, and I'm all yours. Nothing can ever come between us, Aaron."
