<b>Chapter </b>133
She responded immediately, her body arching up to meet mine<b>, </b>her fingers tangling in my hair. What had begun as an argument was rapidly transforming into something else entirely. I could smell her arousal, sweet and intoxicating, mixing with the lingering scent of her fear and anger.
This isn’t just desire, I thought as I deepened the kiss, my hands exploring the familiar curves of her body. But how
do I tell her that?
Her passion almost made me forget about her injuries, but when my hand brushed against her ribcage, her involuntary slight tremor reminded me. I could feel the subtle quiver in her body from her unhealed wounds as she responded to me, which instinctively softened my movements, even as the beast inside me roared.
The taste of her was addictive–honey and something uniquely Reba. I moved my lips to her neck<b>, </b>grazing the sensitive skin with my teeth, careful not to break the surface. The sound she made–a soft, needy whimper<b>–</b>sent a jolt of pure possession through me.
Mine. The word echoed in my mind with each beat of my heart.
I was so lost in the sensation of her beneath me that I almost missed the moment everything changed.
Reba’s breathing quickened, her fingers digging into my shoulders, her body arching upward against mine. Her skin flushed pink from her cheeks down to her corbone, eyes half–closed in abandon. And then, in a move that took mepletely by surprise, she buried her face in my neck, her warm breath sending shivers across my skin before her. teeth found purchase. She bit down hard, breaking the skin as her hands clutched at my back. I felt her tongue instinctively swipe across the spot, tasting the salt of my skin and the metallic hint of blood.
I froze, a current of electric energy surging from that point on my neck to every part of my body. The mate bond, dormant until now, red to life with an intensity that left me gasping.
She had marked me. A human had marked an Alpha.
The realization hit me with staggering force. Only a true mate couldplete a marking—it was biologically impossible otherwise. The legends were true: she really was my fated mate.
“You don’t know what you’ve done, little doe,” I managed to say, my voice hoarse with shock and escting desire. “Only true mates can…”
My words trailed off as I felt my wolf surge forward, taking control in a way it never had before, I knew my eyes had changed–I could see the reflection of their bright blue glow in her widened pupils. The beast inside me was free now<b>, </b>unleashed by her marking, demanding to im what was rightfully his.
My movements became more fervent, more primal. I couldn’t control the surge of possessiveness that overtook me <b>as </b>I worshipped every inch of her body, marking her with my scent, my touch, my very essence. She responded with equal passion<b>, </b><b>as </b>if the bond was affecting her too, drawing us together with a force neither of us could <b>resist</b>.

Afterward, Iy beside her, my body humming with a strange new energy. The mark on my neck pulsed with warmth, and I could feel my wolf restless beneath my skin, stronger than ever before, demanding release.
Reba was half–asleep beside me, her breathing slow and steady. I traced a finger along the curve of her neck where I had left my own mark–not a true mating bite, but a iming nheless. She stirred slightly but didn’t
wake.
“I need to go out for a while,” I whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to her temple. The wolf inside me was wing to get out, the need to shift more urgent than I’d ever experienced.
