“It is the sweetest,” he hums, licking his lips. “My sweet sunshine. I am addicted to how you taste with one drop of your sweet cream. Keep those pretty eyes on me while I make my mate come.”
I nod, unable to tear my gaze from his as he pushes his fingers back inside of me. It stings because nothing has ever been inside me but my own fingers. They never felt this way. His fingers fill me, stretch me, pump inside of me, the rough tips finding a spot that makes hot, white heat shoot through me.
“Oh! Edon!” I shout, head falling back as I come so hard I lose sense of time, of space, of where I am or even who I am.
Edon seems to know enough for both of us. “That’s it. That’s my sweet, needy little mate. Let me take care of you, sweetheart.”
“Yes, Edon. Yes, please,” I whimper before I feel as if I am floating, the night skies sparkling bright as we move into the darkness.
If I am his mate, so be it—all I know is I am not ready to let go of him. And so, I don’t.

Chapter Six
Edon
With one taste, one hint of her scent, I am a changed man. I ought to take this thing slow, let her take time to accept what we will be. I cannot go slow. Bessi will know everything soon. Once I have mated her, I will be able to calm down. With my mark on her skin, there will be no doubt that she belongs to me.
Speeding through the woods, I head for my cabin at Camp Midnight Storm. We’re too far from my cabin in Whispering Peaks, part of the mountain range that surrounds Moon Haven. Right now, all I can think about is mating her, marking her as mine, and I can’t wait another moment.
Once I have marked her, I can take her home. My beast will calm down. Bessi will love my little cabin, I think. I gave special attention to the kitchen, never knowing why. Now I know it was because that is what she would want. And as I promised, I will give her anything she wants—because she is giving me everything.
“Where’re you taking me?”
“To bed. I need to have you,” I growl against her throat as I clutch her to me.
Bessi just laughs her sweet, musical laugh, her arms going tighter around my shoulders. I am throwing a lot at her. I have not admitted what I am, though I have not tried to hide it. I am not afraid of what she will think once she knows—I sense she will understand.
Rushing past the meadow where I first found her, I see her brows pop up as she sets sights on the sprawling camp. It is just beyond the clearing and teeming with campers. Exactly why I had to stop her from going further that night we met.
“You did not want me to see this place.”
Wincing because yes, I kept her from this place at first, I nod. “Yes. It is a place just for others like us. For them to be kids, to meet others who have the same struggles. Their own kind.”
“It must be a special place,” she stuns me as her voice softens.
Stopping in the middle of the camp, with dozens of other shifters watching us, I smile down at her. I must look a fool to the campers, but I do not care. I am besotted. Smitten. I have found the woman for me and knowing that, knowing I won’t be alone anymore, it sets my spirit singing, it soothes my wild wolf like nothing ever has.
“It is the most special place I have ever been. I will show it to you, sunshine. Not yet.... first, I must get you to my bed.”
Again, she laughs, shaking her head as she lets me carry her past all the campers who just stare. I guess they’re not used to seeing me this happy. I could preen because I am so pleased with the beautiful creature in my arms.
We make it to my cabin on the edge of the camp. I kick the door shut after us, pausing long enough to lock it. I want no interruptions. If I had my way, we’d be locked in here for days, mating as I try to breed her with my pups.
“Edon,” her voice trembles as I set her on the bed.
“What is it, sweetheart? Am I scaring you?”
Smiling down at me as I kneel before her, she shakes her head. Her beautiful green eyes sparkle as she makes room for me between her thighs. I fit myself there, breathing in her sweet scent, letting my hands slide up her thighs. I want to rip her clothes off and get inside her, but I am holding myself back, trying to be gentle, to be patient.
“No,” those eyes sparkle down at me in the darkness as she sits forward, touching her brow to mine. “I think I ought to be scared by what I am feeling. How drawn to you I am. I’m not scared, Edon. Can you tell me why I am not scared? Why it feels...natural to be here?”
“We’ve been seeking each other without even realizing. If you ever looked for someone in a crowd, it was me you were looking for. Whenever I was aching from being alone, it was just you, no one else in this world, who could take that ache away. We’re two halves of the same spirit, Bessi. You’re my mate. The one who will complete me.”
Staring down at me, she cradles my face in her little hands, her eyes searching mine. Whatever she sees there is enough for her. Bending, she brushes her soft lips over mine, both of us sighing at the contact. It’s gentle, brief, but it turns on every need, every want, every desire inside of me.
My hands move beneath her skirt, my fingertips hooking in her little cotton panties. God, cotton covering her little pussy is hot for some reason. Pulling back, both of us grunting as I break the kiss, I yank the panties off one foot. I bring them to my face and inhale her sweetness, my beast going wild inside of me.
